Important safety information
Gas safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, obey the
following precautions.
If you smell gas:
• Close the valve
and do not use the range.
• Do not light
a match, candle, or cigarette.
• Do not turn on
any gas or electric appliances.
• Do not touch
any electrical switches or plug a
power cord into an outlet.
• Do not use
any phone in your building.
• Evacuate
the room, building, or area of all
occupants.
• Immediately call
your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
•
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department.
Checking for gas leaks
•
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks. Use a brush to spread a
soapy water mixture around the area you are checking. If there is a gas leak, you
will see small bubbles in the soapy water mixture at the leak point.
Electrical and grounding safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, obey the
following precautions.
•
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Do not remove
the ground prong.
• Do not use
an adapter or an extension cord.
• Do not use
a damaged power plug, power cord,
or loose power outlet.
• Do not modify
the power plug, power cord, or
power outlet in any way.
• Do not put
a fuse in a neutral or ground circuit.
•
Use a dedicated 120-volt, 60-Hz, 20-amp, AC, fused electrical circuit for this
range. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Do not plug more
than one appliance into this circuit.
• Do not connect
the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water
pipes.
•
This range
must be Earth grounded
. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path for the
electric current. This range is equipped with a cord having a grounding plug.
The plug must be firmly plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with the local codes and ordinances. If you are unsure
whether your electrical outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a licensed
electrician.
•
The range is supplied with a 3-pronged grounded plug. This cord must be
plugged into a mating, grounded 3-prong outlet that meets all local codes and
ordinances. If codes permit the use of a separate ground wire, we recommend
that a qualified electrician determine the proper path for this ground wire.
•
Electrical service to the range must conform to local codes. Barring local codes,
it should meet the latest ANSI/NFPA No. 70 – Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or the
Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 – Latest Revisions.
•
It is the personal responsibility of the range owner to provide the correct
electrical service for this range.
