Important Safety Instructions
General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, serious injury or death when installing or using this appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
•
Read the accompanying use and care manual completely
before operating this appliance.
•
Keep packaging materials away from children. Plastic
sheets and bags can cause suffocation.
•
If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact
your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged
appliance.
•
This range must be properly installed by a qualified installer
according to these installation instructions prior to use. The
installer must show the customer the location of the gas
shut off valve and the circuit breaker panel or fuse box so
that they know where and how to turn off the gas supply
and electric power to the range.
•
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above
surface units should be avoided.
•
Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range unless
specifically recommended in the literature accompanying
it. A qualified service technician should perform all other
service.
•
Do not connect this range to the gas supply without the
supplied gas pressure regulator installed.
•
Before performing any type of service or installation, make
sure that the gas supply and power to the range are off.
•
NEVER block or cover any slots, holes or passages
anywhere inside the oven or on the outside of the range or
cover an oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil.
Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and cooktop and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning or fire. See the
Getting to Know Your Range
section of the use and care
manual for the location of the various air holes (slots).
•
Only use this range for cooking tasks expected of a home
appliance as outlined in the literature accompanying it. This
range is not intended for commercial use.
•
DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR
COOKTOP DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.
•
Do not climb on any part of the appliance.
•
Never leave this appliance unattended when in use.
•
Do not leave children or pets alone or unattended in the
area around the range. Do not allow children to play with
the controls, pull on the handle, or touch other parts of the
range.
•
Do not store items of interest to children on top of or
above the range. Children could be burned or injured while
climbing on the appliance.
•
Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a power
failure.
•
Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or alter any
part of the range unless specifically instructed to do so in
these instructions.
•
Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for the first
time.
•
To prevent damage, remove the meat probe from the oven
when it is not being used.
•
Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials.
These items can melt or burn up during self-cleaning and
cause permanent damage to the oven.
•
Do not leave objects, such as aluminum foil, the meat probe,
cookie sheets, etc. on the bottom of the oven. Damage to
the oven or the objects themselves may result.
•
Do not cover the broil element on the ceiling of the oven with
cookie sheets, aluminum foil, pots, pans, etc. Covering them
could cause the heating elements to over-heat, damaging
the oven.
•
Do not expose the knobs or trim rings to direct flame, hot
utensils or other sources of heat.
•
Always ensure that the light fixture lens cover is in place
when using the oven. The lens cover protects the light
bulb from breakage caused by high oven temperatures or
mechanical shock.

WARNING
•
If the range is near a window, do not use long curtains as
window treatment. The curtains could blow over the cooktop
and create a fire hazard.
•
Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, plastic
and cloth away from the burners and other hot surfaces. Do
not place such items in the oven. Do not allow pot holders to
touch hot surfaces or gas burners.
•
Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the range.
Do not allow clothing to come into contact with the interior of
the oven or the cooktop and surrounding areas during and
immediately after use.
•
To avoid a fire hazard, do not hang flammable or heat
sensitive objects over the range.
•
Do not use the oven for storage.
•
Do not touch the burner assembly, grates or surrounding
surfaces (including the backguard) or the interior surfaces
of the oven during use. After use, make sure these surfaces
have had sufficient time to cool before touching them.
•
Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before lighting a
burner.
•
Turn the knobs to the
OFF
position prior to removing them
from the valve stems.
•
Do not operate the cooktop without the knobs and trim rings
in place.
•
For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the
convection filter installed. When the filter is not installed, the
spinning fan blades at the back of the oven are exposed.
•
Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds.
Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room during
cooking.
