SAFETY INFORMATION STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. WARNING This product contains one or more chemicals known to the Sate of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Self-clean ovens can cause low-level exposure to some of these substances, including carbon monoxide, during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood. WARNING GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven. Ŷ Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this owner's manual. Ŷ Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions. Ŷ Any adjustment and service should be performed only by a qualified gas range installer or service technician. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. Ŷ Your range is shipped from the factory set for use with natural gas. It can be converted for use with propane gas. If required, these adjustments must be made by a qualified technician in accordance with the installation instructions and local codes. The agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion. Ŷ Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to turn it off if necessary. Ŷ Plug your range into a 240-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug.

Ŷ Be sure all packing materials are removed from the range before operating to prevent ignition of these materials. Ŷ Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cooktops, or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire, or cuts may occur. Ŷ Dual Fuel: If the heating element in the oven develops a glowing spot or shows other signs of damage, do not use that area of the range.
