1. Warnings
These are the most critical warnings summarized below.
•If the instructions in this manual are not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result, causing
property damage, personal injury or death.
•Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable substances and liquids near this or other appliance,
•Never use this appliance as a space heater to warm aroom.
•Installation of this appliance must be done by a qualified service agency or gas supplier.
Using a dual gas detector highly recommended
This is a dual fuel stove that can run on Propane or Methane. Both fuels have added a
hydrogen sulfide, which smell like rotten eggs, to make it easier to detect. However, some
individuals may not be able to detect the smell. Because fuel gas leaks cannot always be
detected by smell, the use of a gas detector is highly recommended,
Inexpensive dual fuel gas detectors are available commercially today.
•Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA.
•For more information, contact your gas supplier.
•If a gas leak is detected, follow the “What to do if you smell gas” instructions below
What to do if you smell natural methane or propane gas
•Do not light any appliance
•Do not touch an electrical switch
•Immediately call the gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone
•Open a window and leave the area
•Follow the gas supplier’s instructions
•If you cannot reach the gas supplier, call the firedepartment
Important Food Safety Warnings
•According to the United Sates Department of Agriculture:
DO NOT hold foods at temperatures between 40ºF to 140ºF more than 2 hours. Cooking raw foods
below 275ºF is not recommended.
Suffocation Warning / Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
•Never 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 lining may also trap heat, causing a firehazard.

✓ Before removing a faulty oven light bulb, make sure you turn OFF the
power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. If you don’t
know how to do this, contact an electrician.
✓ Do not remove the kick strip grate. Due to electrical wires behind it, the
kick strip grate should only be removed by a qualified technician.
✓
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your
protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded power
outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
✓
Proper Installation –The range, when installed, must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70. In Canada, the range must be electrically grounded in accordance with
Canadian Electrical Code. Be sure the range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
Failure to follow this advice may result in death or electrical shock.

bracket is securely installed.
Ensure the anti-tip bracket is engaged when the range is moved.
(The Exact anti-tip bracket design might vary)

the gas escape, then follow the instructions on the inside front cover of
this manual.
✓ Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion mayresult.
✓ Turn all burners off, then smother fire or flame with a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher. Do not try to smother with flammable blankets.

Safety and Warnings
9
✓ Do not heat unopened food containers such as cans. Build-up of pressure may causecontainer
to burst and result in injury.
Failure to follow this advice may result in injury or death
Fire Hazard
✓
Never use your appliance as a space heater. Persons could be injured or
a fire could start.
✓ Keep the area around the appliance free from combustible materials (e.g.
wall coverings, curtains, drapes), gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
✓ Clean the stove and burners regularly. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate on the surfaces or near the appliance.
✓ Do not hang any articles (e.g. dish towels) off the oven handle. Some fabrics may ignite or melt
from the heat.
✓ Never leave the cooktop burners unattended when in use. Boil over causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
✓ Never spray an aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance while burners are lit. Be sure all the
controls are turned off and the appliance is cool. The aerosol gas and chemicals in such
cleaners could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal partsto corrode.
✓ Do not store flammables near cooktop. Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or
near the cooktop. An accident could cause a serious fire.
Poisoning Hazard
✓ Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an
entire rack or the oven floor with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, creating a fire hazard.
✓ Clean the appliance with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow
