Read all instructions before using this appliance.

IMPORTANT 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.

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.

Q 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.

When You Get Your Range

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas cut-off valve and how to shut

ff if necessary.

c 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.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this guide. All other servicing should be referred to a quaIified technician.

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.

Using Your Range

Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation. They

could be seriously burned.

They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE-CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

For continuous clean models, do not use oven

cleaners on any of the continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can be identified by their rough surface finish.

Teach children not to play with the controls

or any other part of the range.

Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent

fire or smoke damage should the packaging =Iaterial ignite.

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