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.

Listed below are various safety devices together with the reason each device is incorporated in the gas ranges.

Pressure Regulator Maintains proper and steady gas pressure for operation of oven controls. Regulator

must be set for the type of gas being used Natural or LP. After servicing regulator,

make certain it is set properly before completing service.

Gas Burner Orifices These products use a fixed orifice fitting that must be installed for Natural or LP.

After servicing a valve or orifice verify it is properly operating before completing

service.

Oven Safety Valve Oven valve is designed to be a safety valve. Two basic designs are used in gas

ranges.

Hydraulic type valve

Electric type valve

Both types are safety valves because they are indirectly operated by the oven

thermostat, which controls a pilot flame or electric ignitor, to open and close the oven

valve.

These products use the Electric Type Valve.

Grounded Oven Frame Ground prong on power cord is connected to the frame, usually a green lead fastened

by a screw. In addition, any part or component capable of conducting an electric

current is grounded by its mounting.

If any ground wire, screw, strap, nut, etc. is removed for service, or any reason, it

must be reconnected to its original position with original fastener before the appliance

is put into operation again.

Failure to do so can create a possible shock hazard.
