EXPLOSION AND ASPHYXIATION HAZARD
In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main gas shut-off valve and immediately call
the emergency phone number of your gas supplier.
Improper ventilation can result in headaches, drowsiness, nausea, and could result in death. Do not obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air to and from cooking appliances.
CAUTION
To eliminate gas build up which could result in an explosion, in the event of main burner ignition failure a five
minute purge period must be observed prior to re-establishing ignition source.
The controls for the burners and oven(s) are located on the control panel on the front of the range.
To operate a top burner, turn the corresponding control knob to the desired flame level.
To operate an oven, turn the oven thermostat to the desired temperature. On convection ovens, the blower is
controlled by an ON-OFF switch.
If the pilots need to be lit, follow the steps listed below.
