Read the accompanying use and care manual before operating this appliance.
2.
Keep packaging materials away from children. Plastic sheets and bags can cause suffocation.
3.
If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
4.
This range must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer according to these installation instructions prior to
use. The installer should show the customer the location of the gas shut off valve and the fuse or junction box so that they know
where and how to turn off the gas supply and electric power to the range.
5.
Do not install, repair, or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in the manual accompanying it. A
qualified service technician should perform all other service.
6.
Do not use (install) this appliance in conjunction with a surface (countertop) ventilation system. American Range Corporation
recommends the installation of an overhead ventilation hood.
7.
Do not connect this range to the gas supply without the supplied gas pressure regulator installed.
8.
Before performing any type of service or installation, make sure that the gas supply and electric power to the range are turned
off.
9.
Only use the range for cooking tasks expected of a home appliance as outlined in the manual accompanying it. This range is
not intended for commercial use.
10.
DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR COOKTOP DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.
11.
Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area around the range. Do not allow children to play with the controls, pull on
the handle, or touch other parts of the range.

To prevent the unit from tipping forward and to provide a stable installation, the unit must be secured in place with the anti-tip
device as specified in this manual.
16.
Do not block or cover any of the holes at various locations on the range. Doing so will obstruct air flow and affect burner
operation or the internal cooling of the range's components. A fire hazard or damage to the range may also result.
17.
Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for the first time.
18.
Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, plastic, and cloth away from the burners and other hot surfaces. Do not place

Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the range. Do not allow clothing to come into contact with the interior of the
oven or the cooktop and surrounding areas during and immediately after use.
20.
To avoid a fire hazard, do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over the range.
21.
If the range is near a window, do not use long curtains as window treatment. The curtains could blow over the cooktop and
create a fire hazard.
22.
Do not use the oven for storage.
23.
Do not touch the burner assembly, grates, or surrounding surfaces or the interior surfaces of the oven during use. After use,
make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to cool before touching them.
