IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ALL APPLIANCES
1.Proper Installation —Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
2.Never Use Appliance for Warming or Heating the Room.
3.Do Not Leave Children Alone—Children should not be alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
4.Wear Protective Apparel—Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using appliance.
5.User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
6.Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in oven or near surface units.
7.Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires—Smother fire or flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8.Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch burner. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
OVEN
1.Use Care When Opening Door—Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
2.Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
3.Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners can cause fire.
4.Keep Oven Vents Ducts Unobstructed.
5.Placement of Oven Racks—Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool.
6.Do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven during or immediately after use. Do not let clothing or other flammable material contact the bake and broil burner.
7.Other areas of the oven can become hot enough to cause burns, such as vent openings, oven door, and oven racks.
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
1.Use Proper Pan Size—Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner flame. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
2.Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended—Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
3.Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.
4.Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.
5.Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
6.Clean rangetop with caution. To avoid steam burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to wipe up spill on a hot cooking area.
7.Do not place aluminum foil or food packaged in aluminum foil directly on the flame.
Delayed Ignition
Surface Burners
Burner should ignite within 4 seconds. If burner does not ignite within 4 seconds turn control knob to OFF position and follow directions in “Cleaning Surface Burners” and “Before Calling for Service” section. Try burner again. If burner still does not ignite in 4 seconds, contact an authorized servicer.
Bake and Broil Burner Flame
Allow no more than 40–60 seconds before burner ignites and heat is felt. To check for heat, open oven door to first stop and place hand over oven door. If heat is not felt, turn temperature knob to OFF position. If burner repeatedly fails to ignite, contact an authorized servicer.

Installation
VENTILATION HOOD
1.Clean Ventilation Hood Frequently—Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
2.When flaming foods under hood, turn fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.
In Case of Fire
Fires can occur as a result of over cooking or excessive grease. Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed as follows:
Surface Burner Fire
1.Smother the fire with a nonflammable lid or baking soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not water. Not salt. Not flour.
2.As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface burner controls to OFF.
•As an added precaution, turn off gas supply and power at main circuit breaker or fuse box.
Oven Fires
1.If you see smoke from oven, do not open oven door.
2.Turn oven control to OFF.
3.As an added precaution, turn off gas supply and power at main circuit breaker or fuse box.
4.Turn on vent to remove smoke.
5.Allow food or grease to burn itself out in oven.
6.If smoke and fire persist, call fire department.
7.If there is any damage to components, call repair service before using range.
Precautions
•Do not cook food directly on rangetop surface, always use cookware.
•Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical mixtures may interact with objectionable or even hazardous results.
•Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas. They may stick and melt.
•Do not slide rough metal objects across rangetop surface. Scratching or metal marking can result.
•Do not use damp sponge or dishcloth to clean rangetop when range is hot. Steam from sponge or dishcloth can burn.
•Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby. Fat can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot surfaces.
•Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause damage to cooking surface and pan.
•Do not use rangetop surface as a cutting board.
Packing Material
Remove protective packing material from range. Tape residue can be cleaned with a soft cloth and alcohol.
Range Location
Choose a location based on following factors.
•Drafts caused by home heating and air conditioning and open doors or windows can disrupt ventilation air pattern. Range should not be installed near windows or doors.
•Make sure there is adequate space for proper installation.
•Carefully read all instructions before beginning installation.
Cabinet Opening
!WARNING
To avoid risk of burns or fire by reaching over elements, cabinet storage space located above range should be avoided. If cabinet storage is provided, install a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the cabinet bottom to reduce the risk.
Range should extend approximately 2 inches from cabinet front to oven door handle. Use dimensions in figure below and shown in “Special Countertop Conditions” section to prepare cabinet opening.

4.Install anti-tip bracket(s) and slide range into place.
Electrical Connection Requirements
!WARNING
To avoid the risk of serious electrical shock or property damage, do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power plug. A 3-wire grounded conductor system must be used. Relying on the flexible connector, hard piping or any other part of the gas supply line as a ground may cause fire, electrical shock and/or erratic control operation.
Range must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition.
