SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS
5
Be sure all the range and/or cooktop controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using
any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying
action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
Place oven racks in desired position while the oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven
is hot, do not let the pot holders contact the hot interior of the oven.
Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing
foods.
Do not rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking.
Wash gasket with hot water only.
Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the range or cooktop frequently so grease from cooking
vapors does not accumulate on them.
Turn the ventilator OFF in case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the
cooktop. The blower, if in operation, could unsafely spread the flames.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a fresh air
supply is available.
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance, never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door
or cooking surface.
Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power
supply before servicing this appliance.
WARNING:
California Proposition 65-The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-

reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these
substances, always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in
this booklet and provide good ventilation to the room when cooking with gas.
RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOOK-UP TO GAS SUPPLY:
A manual valve must be installed external to the appliance, in an accessible location from the front
for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not protrude beyond the back of
the unit. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance.
The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local
codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI 223.1-1988, latest edition.
