Do

leave any items on the

The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.

To
avoid
the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the off position and
all
grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.

not
hang
long curtains that could
blow
over the top burners
and create a
fiie
hazard.
●
When a
pilot
goes
out
(on standing
pilot
models),
you will detect a faint odor of gas as your signal to
relight the pilot. When relighting the pilot, make
sure burner controls are in the off position, and
follow instructions in this book to relight.

If
you
smell gas, and you have already made sure
pilots
are
lit (on standing pilot models), turn off the
gas to
the
range and
cd
a
qu~ed
service technician.
Never use an open
flame
to locate a leak.
