IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:
■
Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
■
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
■
Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
■
Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
■
Do not leave children alone—children
should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
■
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.
■
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
■
Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the range before operating
it to prevent fire or smoke damage should
the packaging material ignite.
■
Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
■
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.
■
Be sure your range is correctly adjusted
by a qualified service technician or installer
for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is
to be used. Your range can be converted
for use with either type of gas. See the
Installation Instructions packed with
the range.
■
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 (U.S.). Do not use an extension cord
with this appliance.
WARNING:
These adjustments
must be made by a qualified service
technician in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and all codes
and requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in serious injury or
property damage. The qualified agency
performing this work assumes
responsibility for the conversion.
■
Keep the hood and grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease
fires.
■
Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the range.
■
Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
from your range.
