Important safety information
Electrical and grounding safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe
the following precautions.
•
Plug the range into a grounded 3-prong
outlet.
•
Do not remove
the ground prong.
•
Do not use
an adapter or an extension cord.
•
Do not use
a damaged power plug, power
cord, or loose power outlet.
•
Do not modify
the power plug, power cord, or
power outlet in any way.
•
Do not put
a fuse in a neutral or ground circuit.
•
Use a dedicated 120-volt, 60-Hz, 20-amp, AC electrical circuit with a time-
delay fuse or circuit breaker for this range. Do not plug more than one
appliance into this circuit.
•
Do not connect
the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot
water pipes.
•
This range
must be Earth grounded
. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing
a path for the electric current. This range is equipped with a cord having
a grounding plug. The plug must be firmly plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with the local codes and
ordinances. If you are unsure whether your electrical outlet is properly
grounded, have it checked by a licensed electrician.
•
The range is supplied with a 3-pronged grounded plug. This cord must be
plugged into a mating, grounded 3-prong outlet that meets all local codes and
ordinances. If codes permit the use of a separate ground wire, we recommend
that a qualified electrician determine the proper path for this ground wire.
•
Electrical service to the range must conform to local codes. Barring local
codes, it should meet the latest ANSI/NFPA No. 70 – Latest Revision (for the
U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 – Latest Revisions.
•
It is the personal responsibility of the range owner to provide the correct
electrical service for this range.
Gas safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe
the following precautions.
If you smell gas:
•
Close the valve
and do not use the range.
•
Do not light
a match, candle, or cigarette.
•
Do not turn on
any gas or electric appliances.
•
Do not touch
any electrical switches or plug a
power cord into an outlet.
•
Do not use
any phone in your building.
•
Evacuate
the room, building, or area of all
occupants.
•
Immediately call
your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
•
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department.
Checking for gas leaks
•
Leak testing of the appliance must be conducted according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not use
a flame to check for gas leaks. Use a
brush to spread a soapy water mixture around the area you are checking. If
there is a gas leak, you will see small bubbles in the soapy water mixture at
the leak point.
