IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
All ranges can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip
device supplied.
Check if the device is installed and engaged properly. Make sure the chain fits securely into the slot in
the bracket.
Do not allow the chain or bracket to damage the gas plumbing in any way.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly
engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the
range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution
could result in tipping of the range and injury.
WARNING
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off
if necessary.
■
Have your range installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation
Instructions. Any adjustment and service
should be performed only by qualified gas
range installers or service technicians.
■
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
service should be referred to a qualified
technician.
■
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent pilot
outage and poor air circulation.
■
Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have an ungrounded outlet
replaced with a properly grounded, three-
prong outlet in accordance with the
National Electrical Code. Do not use an
extension cord with this appliance.
■
Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving them
where children can reach them.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
