SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

Tips Installation Instructions Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions

■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.

■Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only (on electric ignition models). 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 NFPA–70 latest edition. In Canada, the appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

■Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

■Locate 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 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 Instructions.

■WARNING: These adjustments must be made by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

■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.

■Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.

■Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, broiler door or range top. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

■Clean only parts listed in this manual.
