Install or locate the oven only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions. The oven must be installed by a qualified installer. The oven must be properly connected to the proper gas supply and checked for leaks. The oven must also be properly connected to electrical supply and grounded.
Gas fuels and their use in appliances can cause minor exposures to benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primarily from incomplete combustion. Signfficant exposure to these substances can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Properly adjusted burners with a blue, rather than a yellow, flame will minimize incomplete combustion. Venting with a hood or an open window will further minimize exposure.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or not working properly.
Do not use the oven for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.
Do not attempt to light the oven burner during a power failure. Personal injury could result. Reset oven controls to the off

position in the event of a power failure. Use the oven only for its intended use as described in this manual.
Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the oven. They could ignite if they touch a hot surface and you could be burned.
DO NOT TOUCH INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause burns; such as, the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the oven door and the oven door window.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may resuft in burns from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch on fire.
Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.
