General
l Install or locate the range only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions. The range must be installed by a qualified installer. The range must be properly connected to the proper gas supply and checked for leaks. The range must also be properly connected to electrical supply and grounded.
l Gas fuels and their use in appliances can cause minor exposures to benzene, formal- dehyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primarily from incomplete combustion. Significant 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.
