injury or damage to the unit or the floor. The unit is heavy and rests on adjustable steel
legs. Failure to follow this advice may result in damage or personal injury.
DO NOT lift range by the oven door handles !!
Do not store or use gasoline, liquid propane cylinder or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
The installation and service of your range must be performed by a qualified installer, an
approved service agency or the gas supplier.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas fuel. When operating your range on natural gas, the flames
from the burners should be blue in color. In addition, the flames should be stable, free
of yellow tipping, excessive noise and lifting. However, this yellow tipping should be
restricted to the primary flame kernels only. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by
a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to those substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or use of a
ventilation fan or hood.
NOTICE: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. birds have a very sensitive respiratory
system. Fumes released from cooking oil, fat, margarine or overheated non-stick
cookware may be harmful or fatal to birds.
