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 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your personal r
esponsibility and
obligation to have an ungr
ounded outlet
replaced with a properly grounded,
thr
ee-prong outlet in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. Do not use
an extension cord with this appliance.
• Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
• Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging
material ignite.

WARNING: These adjustments must
be made by a qualified service technician in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and all codes and r
equirements 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.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously bur

• 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.
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it
off if necessary.
