General
l Install or locate the range only in accor- dance 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, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and soot, primarily from incomplete combus- tion. Significant exposure to these sub- stances could cause cancer or reproduc- tive 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.
l Do not store things children might want above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.
. Do not leave children alone or unatt- ended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. They could be burned or injured.
lDo not operate the range if it is damaged or not working properly.
l Do not use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.
lDo 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.
l Use the range only for its intended use as described in this manual.
l Do not touch surface burners, areas near surface burners, or interior surfaces of oven. Areas near surface burners and
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 surface burners, areas near surface burners, or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other sur- faces of the range, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent open- ing, the cooktop, and the oven door and window, could also become hot enough to cause burns.

lDo not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch an open flame and you could be burned.
l Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces could result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder touch an open flame. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It could catch on fire.
l Keep range vents unobstructed.
l Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could
.cause burns and container panicles could cause injury.
l Do not store flammable materials on or near the range. The fumes could create an explosion and/or fire hazard.
lDo not use the oven for storage.
l Do not use aluminum foil to line areas around surface burners, oven bottom, or any other part of the range. Use alumi- num foil only as recommended in this manual.
l Never use a match or other flame to look for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could result.
l Know where your main gas shutoff valve is located.
