Gas Safety

Warning:

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven or cover an entire rack with aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon

monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Warning:

If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

•WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

•Do not try to light any appliance.

•Do not touch any electrical switch.

•Do not use any phone in your building.

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call fire department.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, authorized service agency or the gas supplier.

Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located.

If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.

If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint smell.

Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself" procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and this must be done by a qualified service technician.

Warning:

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon

monoxide poisoning and overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance for storage

For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and dry.

If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.

Fire Safety

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

If materials inside an oven should ignite, keep door closed. Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. For example, never use the appliance for warming or heating the room. Never use the appliance for storage.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the oven.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate by blowing a downward air flow onto a range, shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for use in combination with each other.
