GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious
injury or death when using your appliance,
follow basic safety precautions, including the
following:
1. Read the provided use and care manual before
operating this appliance.
2. Keep packaging materials away from children.
Plastic sheets and bags can cause suffocation.
3. If your range is found to be damaged upon receipt,
contact your dealer or builder immediately. Do not
install or use a damaged appliance or if the conduit
is damaged.
4. This range must be properly installed and grounded
by a qualified installer according to these installation
instructions prior to use. The installer must show the
customer the location of the circuit breaker panel or
fuse box so that they know where and how to turn
off electric power to the range. Capital Cooking
Equipment is not responsible for service required to
correct a faulty installation. The owner is responsible
to make sure this appliance is properly installed.
5. Have the installer demonstrate how to use this
appliance and show you where the gas supply shut
off valve is located so that you know how and where
to turn off the gas to the range.
6. If you smell gas, your installer must check for leaks.
If the connections are not perfectly tight a small leak
may occur allowing gas odors to be detected.
Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself"
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the
burner control in the "ON" position and must be
performed by a qualified service technician.
7. In the event a burner goes out and gas escapes,
open a window or door immediately. DO NOT
attempt to use the range until the gas has had time
to dissipate. Wait at least 5 minutes before using the
range again.
8. To avoid electric shock hazard, do not install this
appliance outside or near water. Do not install or
use this appliance if it has been exposed to water.
9. If the range is near a window, be certain the curtains
do not blow over or near the range burners, griddle
or broiler section; they could catch fire and cause
serious damage and injury.
10. To prevent damage, do not use the oven handles as
lift points or for moving the range.
11. Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range
yourself unless specifically recommended in the
literature accompanying it. All other service must be
performed by a qualified service technician.
12. Electric power to the range must be turned off at the
circuit breaker or fuse box prior to performing any
type of service or installation.
13. This range is to be used only for cooking tasks
expected of a home appliance. This range is not
intended for commercial use.
14. Do not climb or sit on any part of the appliance.
15. Do not leave children or pets alone or unattended in
the area around the range. Do not allow children to
play with the controls, pull on the handle or touch
other parts of the range.
16. Do not store items of interest to children above the
range. Children can be burned or injured while
climbing on the appliance.
17. Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or
alter any part of the range unless specifically
instructed to do so by this manual.
18. Secure the oven to the cabinet using the supplied
anti-tip bracket to prevent injury due to the unit
tipping forward,
19. Only use dry pot holders to prevent steam burns
when moving items in or out of the range. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of
potholders.
20. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother any
flames with a lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray. Use
baking soda or a foam fire extinguisher to extinguish
flaming grease.
21. Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard,
plastic and cloth away from hot surfaces. Do not put
such items in the oven. Do not allow pot holders to
touch hot surfaces.
Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using
the range. Do not allow clothing to come into
contact with or close proximity to any element,
burner, burner grate, or the interior of the oven and
the surrounding areas during and immediately after
use. Some synthetic materials are highly flammable
and should not be worn while cooking.

23. Do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven during
use. After use, make sure these surfaces have had
sufficient time to cool before touching them.

IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREAS adjacent to
the burners. When in use these areas may become
/hot enough to cause burns.
25. NEVER leave the range unattended when using
high flame settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and
greasy spills that may ignite. More importantly, if the
burner flames are smothered, unburned gas will
escape into the room.

surfaces of the oven or the exterior area
immediately surrounding the door. Interior oven
surfaces become hot enough to cause burns. The
