Safety Information Delayed Ignition Bake Burner Flame Allow no more than 40–60 seconds before burner ignites and heat is felt. To check for heat, open oven door to first stop and place hand over oven door. If heat is not felt, cancel bake funtion. If burner repeatedly fails to ignite, contact an authorized servicer. Broiler Flame Allow no more than 40–60 seconds before burner ignites and flame is seen. If burner does not ignite cancel broil function.
Safety Information Connecting Range to Gas Install manual shut-off valve in gas line for easy accessibility outside range. Be aware of the location of the shut-off valve. Electrical Requirements 120-volt, 60 Hertz, 15 amp, individual circuit which is properly grounded, polarized and protected by a circuit breaker or fuse. Extension Cord Due to possible pinching during installation, extension cords should not be used on products. Extension cords will adversely affect the performance of spark system.
Safety Information Product Safety Devices Safety devices and features have been engineered into the product to protect consumer and servicer. Safety devices must never be removed, bypassed, or altered in such a manner as to defeat the purpose for which they were intended.
