A WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehgde and soot, caused primarilg bg the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Prapeflg adjusted buraers, indicated by a bluish rather than a gellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized bg venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show gou the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessarg.
_ Have your range installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.
_ Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.

i_}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 appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFOREUSING.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
_, Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
i_ Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the range before operating it
to prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packaging material ignite.
w, Be sure your range is correctly 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
of the range section.

WARNING:

These adjustments must
be made by a qualified service technician
in accordance with 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 this work
assumes responsibility for the conversion.
_ After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such type
of use. Never install it directly over interior
kitchen carpeting.
