General
l Install or locate the range only in accordance with the provided Installa- tion 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 substances could 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.
l Do not store things children might want above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.
l Do not leave children alone or unat- tended 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.
l Do not operate the range if it is dam- aged 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.
l Do not attempt to light the oven burner during a power failure. Personal injury couM 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.

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 surfaces of the range, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the cooktop, the oven door and window, could also become hot enough to cause burns.
Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch an open flame and you could be burned.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces could result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch an open flame. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch on fire.
Keep range vents unobstructed.
Do not heat unopened containers. They couM explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.
