OPERATION
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD
In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main shut off valve. Immediately call the
emergency phone number of your gas supplier.
CAUTION
If a pilot flame pilot should go out, the flow of gas to the corresponding burner is NOT interrupted. Consequently, it
is the responsibility of the operator to check the ignition of each burner immediately EVERY TIME a burner is
turned on. Should ignition fail after 10 seconds, turn off the burner, wait 5 minutes, and then try again.
LIGHTING AFTER GAS HAS BEEN SHUT OFF
When turning on the main gas supply to a sectional range, do the following:
1. Make sure that all the control knobs and power switches of all the connected appliances are in the OFF position.
2. Turn on the gas-supply shut-off valve(s).
3. Light the standing pilots of each connected appliance.
4. Turn on the ovens of the sectional range first, then wait six minutes before turning on the top sections. This
enables all air to be purged from the sectional-range gas piping.
SHUTDOWN OF ENTIRE RANGE
To place the range in a standby state (ready for use), turn all burner control knobs to OFF, set all thermostats to their
lowest position, and switch all ovens OFF. The pilots will remain lit.
To completely shut down the range for an extended period (or prior to disconnecting the gas supply), place the range
in a standby state (as described in the previous paragraph), then turn OFF the manual shut-off valves of all gas
supply connections. This will extinguish the pilots.
