Servicing

Listed below are some general precautions and safety practices which should be followed in order to protect the service technician and consumer during service and after service has been completed.

1.Gas smell—Extinguish any and all open flames and open windows.

2.Turn gas off—Service range with gas turned off unless testing requires it.

3.Checking for gas leaks—Never check for leaks with any kind of open flame. Soap and water solution should be used for this purpose. Apply solution to suspected area and watch for air bubbles which indicates a leak. Correct leaks by tightening fittings, screws, connections, applying approved compound, or installing new parts.

4.Using lights—Use a hand flashlight when servicing ranges or checking for gas leaks. Electric switches should not be operated where leaks are suspected. This will avoid creating arcing or sparks which could ignite the gas. If electric lights are already turned on, they should not be turned off.
