IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
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 further by venting
with an open window or using
a ventilation fan or hood.
When You Get Your Range
●
Have the installer show you
the location of the range gas
cut-off valve and how to shut
it off if necessary.

and properly grounded by a
qualified installer in accordance
with the Installation Instructions.

Ignition models only) 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.
●
Be sure all packing materials
are removed from the range
before operating it to prevent fire
or smoke damage, should the
packing material ignite.

Locate range out of kitchen
path and out of drafty
locations to prevent pilot outage
(on models so equipped) and
poor air circulation.
Be sure your range is correctly
adjusted by a qualified service
technician or installer for the
type of gas (Natural or LP),
which is to be used. Your range
can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See
Installation Instructions.
. After prolonged use of a
range, high floor temperatures
may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand
this kind of use. Never install the
range over vinyl tile or linoleum
that cannot withstand such type of
use. Never install it directly over
interior kitchen carpeting.
