• To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block appliance air vents.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 flam-

 

 

 

 

 

mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appli-

 

 

 

 

 

ance.

 

 

 

 

- 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. See “WHAT

 

 

 

 

TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:” on page 4.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING:

 

 

 

 

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this man-

 

 

 

 

 

ual. NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a

 

 

 

 

 

room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and over-

 

 

 

 

 

heating the appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be lit manually.

Burn Prevention

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface

 

 

 

 

units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units

 

 

 

 

may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,

 

 

 

 

or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact surface units

 

 

 

 

or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these

 

 

 

 

areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

 

• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF

 

 

 

 

OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.

 

 

 

 

Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and

 

 

 

 

after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materi-

 

 

 

 

als contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had

 

 

 

 

sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot

 

 

 

 

enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, sur-

 

 

 

 

faces near these openings and oven doors.

 

• Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the

 

 

 

 

door (or drawer) slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep

 

 

 

 

your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or pets

 

 

 

 

near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your
