IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of this range must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1 – lasted edition when installed in the United States.
This range has been design certified by CSA International. As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are
certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find them in the Use & Care Manual, read it carefully.
•
Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly by a qualified installer or service technician.
•
This range must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in their absence, with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.70 – lasted edition when installed in the United States.
See Grounding Instructions.
•
Before installing the range in an area covered with linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make sure the
floor covering can withstand heat at least 90°F above room temperature without shrinking, warping or discoloring
.
Do not install the range over carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of ¼-inch thick plywood between the
range and carpeting.
•
Make sure the wall covering around the range can withstand the heat generated by the range.
•
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the oven vent nor around the base or beneath the lower front panel
of the range.
Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces as they may become hot while the oven is in
operation. This range requires fresh air for proper burner combustion.
CAUTION:
Never leave children alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use.
As children grow, teach
them the proper, safe use for all appliances. Never leave the oven door open when the range is unattended.
WARNING:
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawer of this range can result in serious injuries and can also
cause damage to the range.
•
Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the range.
Children could be seriously burned
climbing on the range to reach items.
•
To eliminate the need to reach over the surface burners, cabinet storage space above the burners should be
avoided.
•
Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
Excessive flame is
hazardous.
•
Do not use the oven as a storage space.
This creates a potentially hazardous situation.
•

•
The electric igniter will automatically re-ignite the oven burner when power resumes if the oven thermostat
control was left in the “ON” position.
•
When an electrical power failure occurs during use, the surface burners will continue to operate.
•
During a power outage, the surface burners can be lit with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner; then
slowly turn the know to the HIGHEST POSITION. Use extreme caution when burners lighting this way.
