in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or similar locations.
7 DO NOT install this appliance with a ventilation system that
blows air downward toward the appliance. Use of a ventilation
system that blows air downward toward the appliance can
cause ignition and combustion problems with gas cooking
appliances and cause risk of personal injury or unintended
operation.
8 Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
