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 business-

es to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, car-

bon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natu- ral 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 further by venting with an open window or using a ventila- tion fan or hood.

When You Get Your Range

o Have the installer show you the location of the range gas cut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

o Have your range installed and properly

grounded by a quali- fied installer in accor- dance with the Instal-

lation Instructions° Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas

range installers or ser- vice technicians.

•Plug your range into a 120-voltgrounded 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 prop- erly grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance°

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

o Locate range out of kitchen traffic path and

out of drafty locations to prevent poor air cir- culation.

o 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 Installation Instructions.

°After prolonged use of a range, high fleer temperatures may result and many floor cov- erings 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.
