Special instructions for appliances installed in the State of
Massachusetts: This appliance can only be installed in the

•
Be sure your range is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.
•
This range must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70 —latest edition when installed in the United
States. See "Grounding Instructions" on page 7-9 in
the Installation Steps.
•
Before installing the range in an area covered with
linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering,
make sure the floor covering can withstand heat at
least 90°F above room temperature without
shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the
range over carpeting unless you place an insulating
pad or sheet of 1/4-inch thick plywood between the
range and carpeting.
•
To eliminate the need to reach over the surface
burners, cabinet storage space above the burners
should be avoided.
•
Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
•
Do not use the oven as a storage space. This
creates a potentially hazardous situation.
•
Never use your range for warming or heating the
room. Prolonged use of the range without adequate
ventilation can be dangerous.
•
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.
Explosions or fires could result.
•
Reset all controls to the "off" position after using a
programmable timing operation.
FOR MODELS WITH SELF-CLEAN FEATURE:
•
Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils before
self-cleaning the oven. Wipe up excess spillage. Follow
the cleaning instructions in the Use & Care Guide.
•
Unlike the standard gas range, THIS
COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do
not attempt to remove the cooktop.
•
Make sure the wall coverings around the range can
withstand the heat generated by the range.
•
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the
oven vent nor around the base or beneath the
lower front panel of the range. Avoid touching the
vent openings or nearby surfaces as they may
become hot while the oven is in operation. This range
requires fresh air for proper burner combustion.
•
Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above the range. Children could be seriously
burned climbing on the range to reach items.
DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO
OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DURING
AN ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. RESET ALL OVEN
CONTROLS TO "OFF" IN THE EVENT OF A POWER
FAILURE.
The electric ignitor will automatically re-ignite the oven
burner when power resumes if the oven thermostat control
was left in the "ON" position.
When an electrical power failure occurs during use, the
surface burners will continue to operate.
During a power outage, the surface burners can be lit with
a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then slowly
turn the knob to the
(lite) position. Use extreme caution
when lighting burners this way.
