l
Install or locate the oven only in accordance

is recommended that the oven be installed
by a qualified installer. The oven must be
properly connected to the proper gas supply
and checked for leaks. The oven must also
be properly connected to electrical supply
and grounded.

Gas fuels and their use in appliances can
cause minor exposures to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and soot,
primarily from incomplete combustion.
Significant exposure to these substances
can cause cancer or reproductive harm.
Properly adjusted burners with a blue,
rather than a yellow, flame will minimize
incomplete combustion. Venting with a hood
or an open window will further minimize
exposure.
