Use and Care Guide

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act r equires the Gover nor of Califor nia to publish
a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, 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, car bon monoxide, for malde-
hyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combus-
tion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners,
indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will mini-
mize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances
can also be minimized by venting with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as alumi-
num foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil lin-
ings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
To reduce the risk of the appliance tipping, it must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip device. To check
if this device is installed properly, remove the broiler
drawer to inspect the anti-tip bracket or grasp the top
rear edge of the range and carefully attempt to tilt it for-
ward to make sure the range is properly anchored.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to
this manual. For assistance or additional information consult
a qualified installer, service agency, manufacturer (dealer) or
the gas supplier.
WARNING
To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, disconnect the
power supply before servicing this unit.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the oven.
