To reduce the risk of explosion, fire, death, electric shock, injury or scalding to persons when using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Installation
Do not attempt to open or close the door or operate the oven until the door is properly installed.Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.To shut off the gas supply to the range, close the range gas shut-off valve by turning it clockwise.a Pressure regulatorb Lever open (use) positionc Remove the labeld Adapter (1/2"-14 NPT)e Gas flow into rangef Range gas shut-off valveMake sure your range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer, according to the installation instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.Make sure your range is properly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the installation instructions.These adjustments must be done by a qualified service technician according to the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing these adjustments assumes responsibility for the conversion.Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the appliance.This product should not be installed below ventilation type hood systems that direct air in a downward direction.Doing so may cause ignition and combustion problems with the gas burners resulting in personal injury and may affect the cooking performance of the unit.To prevent poor air circulation, place the range out of the kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations.
Operation
WARNINGNEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.WARNINGNEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four potentially harmful substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the imperfect combustion of natural or LP gas. Correctly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize imperfect combustion.Exposure to these substances can be minimized by opening windows or using a ventilation fan or hood.Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them.Never block the vents (air holes) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion.Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range.Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing so restricts air to the burner and may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the range. Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.Never place fingers between the door hinge and front oven frame. Hinge arms are spring mounted. If accidentally hit, the hinge will slam shut against the oven frame and injure your fingers.Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.Do not let anyone climb, stand or hang on the oven door, warming drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range or tip it over, causing severe personal injury.Do not stand or place excessive weight on the open oven door. This could tip the range, break the door, or injure the user.To prevent fire hazard or electrical shock, do not use an adapter plug or an extension cord, or remove the grounding prong from the electrical power cord. Doing so can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.Make sure that all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.When opening the door of a hot oven, stand away from the range. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.Do not heat food in closed containers. Pressure inside the container could increase and cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.Do not line oven walls or bottom with aluminum foil or allow them to contact exposed heating elements in the oven. Doing so could create a fire hazard or cause damage to the range.During oven operation, the upper surface of the drawer cavity becomes hot and may cause burns. Never allow children to remain unsupervised near the oven or cooktop.Do not put your hand inside the drawer while the oven is operating.REMOTE OPERATION - This appliance is configurable to allow remote operation at any time. Do not store any flammable materials or temperature sensitive items inside, on top or near surface units of the appliance.
Maintenance
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.Items of interest to children should not be placed in cabinets above the range or on the backsplash of the range.Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically mentioned in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.
Grounding Instructions
Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this range.
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items placed in cabinets over the range. Flammable materials could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.Do not place or use combustible materials such as gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.Do not place flammable materials in the oven or near the cooktop.Do not allow cooking grease or other flammable materials in or near the range.Do not use water on grease fires. Never touch a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.A grease fire can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.Flame in the oven or the drawer can be smothered completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.Leak testing of the appliance must be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.Gas leaks may occur in the system and result in a serious hazard. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL approved gas detector. Install and use in accordance with the gas detector manufacturer’s instructions.When using a broiler pan, make sure to place it correctly to minimize the possibility of grease fires.Always remove a broiler pan from the range after you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if the oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan.If you have a grease fire in a broiler pan, turn off the cooking function being used and keep the oven door closed to contain the fire until it burns out.If meat is too close to the flame while broiling, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups.
