Important Safety Instructions
Continued
l
Install or locate the range only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. It is recom-
mended that the range be installed
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
To reduce the risk of tipping of the
appliance, the appliance must be
secured by properly installed anti-tip
bracket(s). To check if the bracket(s)
is installed properly, remove the
storage drawer (see page 15) and
verify that the anti-tip bracket(s) is
engaged.
l
Gas fuels and combustion can result
in potential exposure to chemicals
known to cause cancer or reproduc-
tive harm. For example, benzene is a
chemical which is a part of the gas
supplied to the range. It is consumed
in the flame during combustion.
However, exposure to a small
amount of benzene is possible if a
gas leak occurs. Formaldehyde,
carbon monoxide and soot are by-
products of incomplete combustion.
Properly adjusted burners with a
bluish rather than a yellow flame will
minimize incomplete combustion.
l
Do not operate the range if it is not
working properly, or if it has been
damaged.
l
Do not use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could
start.
l
Do not attempt to light the oven
burner during a power failure.
Personal injury could result.
l
Use the range only for its intended
use as described in this manual.
9 Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a hot
surface burner and you could be
burned.
l
Do not touch surface burners, areas
near burners or interior surfaces of
oven. Areas near surface burners
and interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns.
During use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materi-
als contact surface burners, areas
near surface burners or interior
surfaces of oven. Other surfaces of
the range may become hot enough
to cause burns; such as, the oven
vent opening, the surface near the
vent opening, the cooktop, the oven
door and window.
l
Make sure the utensils you use are
large enough to contain food and
avoid boil-overs and spill-overs.
Heavy splattering or spill-overs left
on a range can ignite and burn you.
Pan size is especially important in
deep fat frying.
l
Turn pan handles inward, but not
over other surface burners. This will
help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable materials, and
spills due to bumping of the pan.
l
Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on surface burners
may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch surface
burners. Do not use a towel or bulky
cloth for a potholder. They could
catch on fire.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
range. Only certain types of glass,
glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware or other glazed utensils are
suitable for ranges without breaking
due to the sudden change in
temperature.
