DANGER
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
If top-burner pilots go out, the flow of gas to the burners is NOT interrupted (unless the range is equipped with
the optional flame-failure safety valves). Consequently, it is the responsibility of the operator to check the
ignition of the burners, immediately after burner value has been turned ON. Should ignition fail after 10 seconds,
turn off burners, wait 5 minutes, and then check the pilots and try again.
The controls for the burners and oven(s) are located on the control panel on the front of the range.
If the pilots need to be lit, follow the steps listed in each section below.
