General
. 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. Signtiicant
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.
