SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
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.
Fluorescent light bulbs and safety valves on standing pilot ranges contain mercury. If your model has
these features, they must be recycled according to local, state and federal codes.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■
Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
■
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
■
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
■
Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
■
Do not leave children alone---children
should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
■
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door, storage drawer, or cooktop.
They could damage the range and even tip
it over, causing severe personal injury.
■
Do not store flammable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop.
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.
