READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Gas ranges have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with
any appliance, there are specific installation and safety precautions which must be followed to
ensure safe and satisfactory operation.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons,
or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a
fire or explosion could result causing property damage, personal
injury or death.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
l
Do not try to light any appliance.
l
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your
building.
l
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow
the gas supplier’s instructions.
l
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.
General
l
Install or locate the range only in accor-
dance with the provided Installation
Instructions. The range must be in-
stalled by a qualified installer. The range
must be properly connected to the
proper gas supply and checked for
leaks. The range must also be properly
connected to electrical supply and
grounded.
l
Gas fuels and their use in appliances can
cause minor exposures to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and
soot, primarily from incomplete combus-
tion. Significant exposure to these
substances could cause cancer or
reproductive harm. Properly adjusted
burners with a blue, rather than a yellow,
flame will minimize incomplete combus-
tion. Venting with a hood or an open
window will further minimize exposure.
