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.
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.
