SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance, When using gas or electri-

cal appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the

da age p l'njurym, ersona !,or

ers of potential exposure to such

substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor

exposure to four of these sub-

stances, namely benzene, carbon

monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,

caused primarily by the incom-

plete combustion of natural gas or

L.P. fuels. Properly adjusted appli-

ances, indicated by the bluish

minimize incomplete combustion.

Exposure to these substances can

be minimized by further venting

with an open window or using a

ventilation fan or hood.

The oven, as shipped from the fac-

tory, can only be operated with

natural gas. Do not try to operate

it with L.P. (bottled) gas High

flames and toxic fumes could

cause serious injury. If you wish to

use your oven with L.P. gas, you

must convert the range following

the procedure found in the installa-

tion instructions shipped with your

range.
