Important Safety Instructions
Gas Safety
If you smell gas:
• do not use the range, and close the gas valve.
• do not light a match, candle, or cigarette.
• 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.
• evacuate the building.
• immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone; follow the supplier’s directions.
•
if you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Checking For Gas Leaks
Leak-test the range per manufacturer directions. Do not use a flame to check for leaks. With a brush, spread
a soap-and-water solution around the area in question. 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 remove the ground prong.
• 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 and a 40 Amp breaker for the 36" Range.
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker should be used. Plug only the range into this circuit.
• Do not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing/gas lines, or hot water pipes.
• The range must be grounded. Grounding lowers the risk of electric shock by giving the current a safe path.
If unsure that your outlet is properly grounded, have a licensed electrician check it.
• The range has a grounded, 4-prong, plug that must be inserted in a grounded, 4-prong outlet that meets
all local ordinances. If codes allow a separate ground wire, a qualified electrician should determine its path.
• Electrical service to the range must conform to local codes, or in their absence, to the National Electrical
code/NFPA No. 70 – Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 or Latest Revi-
sions.
• The owner shall ensure the range receives the proper electrical service.
