Important Safety Instructions
Use-and-Care Safety Instructions, cont.
Read these instructions thoroughly to reduce the risk of property damage, fire, personal injury, and death, and
to ensure proper installation.
Gas Safety
If you smell gas:
• close the range's gas-supply valve and evacuate the building
• do not use a flame or sparking device (e.g., match, butane lighter or clicker, arc lighter)
• do not turn on any gas or electric appliances
• do not plug in a power cord or touch an electrical switch
• do not use any phone in your building
• immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's home, and follow the supplier’s directions (if unable to
reach the gas supplier, call the fire department).
Checking For Gas Leaks
Do not use a flame to check for leaks. With a brush, spread a soap-and-water solution around the area in ques-
tion. If there is a gas leak, small bubbles will appear in the solution. If unsure, call for professional help.
Electrical and Grounding Safety
• Do not use an adapter or extension cord.
• Do not use a damaged plug, cord, or loose power outlet, and do not alter the plug, cord, or outlet.
• Do not put a fuse in a neutral or ground circuit.
• Use a dedicated 240 Vac, 60 Hz, 50 Amp breaker for the 48” range, a 40 Amp breaker for the 36” range, and
a 40 Amp breaker for the 30" range. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker should be used. Plug only the range
into this circuit.
• Proper Installation – Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified electrician.
• The range's grounded, 3-prong plug must be inserted in a grounded, 3-prong outlet that meets all local
ordinances. If codes allow a separate ground wire, a qualified electrician should determine its path. Do not
connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing/gas lines, or hot-water pipes.
• Electrical service to the range must follow local codes, or in their absence, the US National Electrical code/
NFPA No. 70 – Latest Revision or, in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 or Latest Revisions.
• The owner shall ensure the range receives the proper electrical service.
