lNIPORTAN~ 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 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.

●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.

part of your range unless it is specifically rectimmended in this guide. All other service should be referred to a quaM5ed technician.

s 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. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

●Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material

—ignite.

●Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations to prevent pilot outage and poor air circulation.
