SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Operating Instructions Safety
■Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations to prevent pilot outage (on standing pilot models) and 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.
■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 of the range section.
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
■Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.
■Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a range broiler or near a cooktop.
■Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
