OPERATING SAFETY & WARNINGS
• Always place oven racks in desired location when oven is cool. If rack must be moved while
oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
• Do not clean oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaning products. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
• Clean only parts listed in manual.
• Before cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan and other utensils.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flames or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
• The cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near these may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the cook-top and surfaces
facing the cook-top until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of
an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Do not touch any surface of the oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool, as some surfaces become hot enough to cause burns,
included: oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows
of oven doors.
• Do not use an extension cord to connect this appliance. If the power supply cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
• WARNING: Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and engaged;
a child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Verify the anti-tip device has been properly
installed and engaged. Ensure the anti-tip device is re-installed when the range is moved;
failure to do so can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
• ROOM VENTILATION: The use of a gas cooking appliance generates heat and
humidity in the room where it is installed. Proper ventilation in the room is needed. Make
sure the kitchen is equipped with a range hood of appropriate power (400 CFM minimum).
Activate the exhaust fan/range hood when possible. Intensive and continuous use of the
appliance may require additional ventilation, for example by opening a window.
