Hotpoint RGB508 Range User Manual


 
• Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent fire
or smoke damage should the packing material
ignite.
• 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.
Using Your Range
WARNING—
All ranges can tip and injury
could result. To prevent accidental
tipping of the range, attach it to the
wall and floor by installing the Anti-
Tip device supplied.
To check if the device is installed and
engaged properly, carefully tip the
range forward. The Anti-Tip device should
engage and prevent the range from tipping over.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any
reason, make sure the device is properly engaged
when you push the range back against the wall.
If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range
tipping over and causing injury if you or a child
stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information
in this guide. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and injury.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE
BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door, broiler drawer or cooktop. They
could damage the range and even tip it over,
causing severe personal injury.
• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
