IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The
California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known
to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances,
Gas
appliances can cause minor exposure to
four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused
primarily by the incomplete combustion of
natural gas or
LP
fuels. Properly adjusted burners,
indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame,
will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances can be minimized by venting
with an open window or using a ventilation fan
or hood.
Fluorescent light bulbs and
stiety
valves on
standing pilot ranges contain mercury. If your
model has these features, they must be recycled
according to local, state and
federd
codes.
Locate range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
Be
sure
your range is correctly adjusted by a
qualified service technician or installer for the
type of gas (natural or
LP)
that is to be used.
Your range can be converted for use with either
type of gas. See the Installation Instructions.
WARNING: These adjustments must be made by
a qualified service technician in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury or property damage. The qualified
agency performing this work assumes
responsibility for the conversion.
After prolonged
use
of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many
floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum
that cannot withstand such type of use. Never
install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.
