INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
After prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures may result. Many floor covering's will not
withstand this kind of use. Before installing your range on linoleum or any other synthetic floor
covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand 100'* without shrinking, warping or discoloring.
Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of V4" thick plywood or similar insulator is
placed between the range and carpeting.
Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation.
Never use your appliance for heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not designed to heat your
kitchen. Top burners should not be operated without cookware.
Do not let cooking grease accumulate in or near the range.
Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well fitting lid.
Do not use water on grease fires. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with
baking soda, multipurpose dry chemical, or fire extinguisher. Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door'and turnirtg the oven off or by using baking soda, multipurpose
dry chemical, or fire extinguisher.
Do not store or use combustable materials in an oven, broiler, storage drawer, or near the cooktbp.
Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for
items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact
with flames or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings.Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may catch fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.Excessive
flame is hazardous.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS continued...
Use only dry pot hciders-moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Do not let potholders come near open flames when lifting cookware.
Turn cookware hancies toward the side or back of the range without letting them extend over
adjacent burners, tc .minimize the possibility of burns.
Always turn the surface burners to OFF before removing cookware.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are
necessary for the ra.nge to operate properly with correct combustion.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can
cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or beep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is
added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be caused in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt
slowly.
Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.
Use a deep-fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat; especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.
Use proper pan size. Avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having fiat
bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid botlovers and spillovers.
Do not leave any kerns on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will
increase pressure ir closed containers, which may cause them to burst.
Do not use the oven as a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape
can cause burns to hands, face, and eyes.
Keep the oven free тот grease buildup.
Place the oven shelves in the desired position while the oven is cool.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven except as described in the manual. Misuse could
result in a fire hazarc or damage to the range.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer instructions.
Use only glass cock.vare that is recommended for use in gas ovens.
When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups
Never entirely cove.' э shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor
baking. '
Your oven temperature s controlled very accurateiy using an oven control system. It is recommended
that you operate the eve:" for a number of weeks to become familiar with your new oven’s performance.
To avoid possible corns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.
Close the oven doer Turn the oven set knob to the temperature you desire.
Check the food for ceneness at the minimum time on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
Turn the oven set kreb to off and then remove the food.
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape
can cause burns tc "ands. face, and eyes.

OPERATING YOUR GAS RANGE
Before operating the unit, read this section thoroughly.
The first time the burners are used, a small amount of
smoke may be generated due to burning of grease on the
burners, especially on oven and broiler burners. VThis is not
dangerous. For that reason, the burners must be operated
without any cooking purpose for 10 minutes for the first
time. This range is equipped with an electric ignition
system to ignite the burners. Therefore, it must be
supplied with electricity. If any electric power failure
occurs, using a match can ignite the burners. A constant
supply of air is needed for combustion. Therefore, allow
sufficient ventilation into the room where the range is
placed.
