BURN HAZARD
The use of cabinets for storage above the
appliance may result in a potential burn
hazard. Combustible items may ignite,
metallic items may become hot and
cause burns. If a cabinet storage is to be
provided the risk can be reduced by
installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 12.7 cm
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
CAUTION

Lighting Burners (ESIRS)
Surface Burners- Electronic Safety
Ignition/Re-ignition System (ESIRS)
To light the knob surface burners, turn the
appropriate control knob counter-clockwise
to any position. This control is both a gas
valve and an electric switch. When you turn
the control knob to any on position, you will
hear a clicking sound. This is the sound of
the electronic safety re-ignition system
(ESIRS) that will ignite the corresponding
burner with a 3 seconds safety delay. Once
ignited, the clicking sound will stop. If the
flame goes out for any reason, the burner
will automatically attempt to re-ignite one
time. If it fails to re-ignite, the ESIRS will
automatically shut down the gas feed to the
burner. Five seconds later, the ESIRS will
automatically attempt to re-ignite the burner
one time by re-opening the gas feed. You
will hear a clicking sound again. If the burner
fails to re-ignite once more, the above cycle
will be repeated.
After 5 attempts to re-ignite the burner, the
ESIRS will automatically shut down the gas
feed to the burner completely. To restart the
ignition process you must turn the knob to
the off position and to any on position
again. After a 2 seconds safety delay the
ignition process will begin again. When the
burner lights, you can turn the burner
control to any position to adjust the flame
size. Setting the proper height for the
desired cooking process and selected utensil
will result in superior cooking performance,
while also saving time and energy. Within a
few moments, enough gas will have traveled
to the burner to light. When the burner
lights, turn the burner control to any position
to adjust the flame size. Setting the proper
flame height for the desired cooking process
and selecting the correct cooking vessel will
result in superior cooking performance, while
also saving time and energy.
WARNING
Electrical shock hazard.
To avoid the risk of electrical
shock, personal injury or death;
verify electrical power is turned
off at the breaker box and gas supply is
turned off until the oven is installed and
ready to operate, installation by an
authorized installer only.
