SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas
shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
• Have your range installed and properly grounded by a
qualified installer, in accordance with the Installation
Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be
perfbrmed only by qualified gas range installers or service
technicians.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range
unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All
other service should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Plug your range into a 12o-volt grounded outlet only. Do
not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in
doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it
is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an
ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded,
three-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.
• 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 of the range
section.
• 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 burned.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven
door, warming drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
• Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using
the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in
cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be
ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces
and may cause severe burns.
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a range
drawer or near a cooktop.
• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range. Do not use water on
grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering
the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or
flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it
with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven or warming drawer can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning
the control to oft or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before
touching them or leaving them where children can reach
them.
