IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
WARNING If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result, causing property damage, personal injury or death.
-Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
-WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
■Do not try to light any appliance.
■Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
■Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
■If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
-Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of
tipping the range, the range must be secured
by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See
installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the rear leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage
drawer or kick panel can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
■Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this owner’s manual.
■Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
■Any adjustment and service should be performed only by a qualified gas range installer or service technician. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual.
■Your range is shipped from the factory set for use with natural gas. It can be converted for use with propane gas. If required, these adjustments must be made by a qualified technician in accordance with the installation instructions and local codes. The agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
■Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to turn it off if necessary.
■Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only
(240-volt for dual fuel). Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use on extension cord with this appliance.
■Before performing any service, turn off the gas supply and unplug the range or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
■Be sure all packing materials are removed from the range before operating to prevent ignition of these materials
■Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cooktops or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
■Dual Fuel: If the heating element in the oven develops a glowing spot or shows other signs of damage, do not
use that area of the range. A glowing spot indicates the element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the heating element off immediately and have it replaced by a qualified service technician.
■Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

|
||
|
children above a range or on the backguard of a range |
|
|
- children climbing on the oven to reach items could be |
|
|
seriously injured. |
■Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlets and outlets that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the warming drawer, lower oven drawer or kick panel.
■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch surface burners, burner grate, or oven heating element. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
■Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the burners, grates, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening and crevices around the oven door.
■Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
■Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations can be found at IsItDoneYet.gov and fsis.usda.gov. Use a food thermometer to take food temperatures and check several locations.
■Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range or tip it over causing severe injury or death.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil or oven liners. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Never place foil or oven liners on the oven bottom. They can trap heat causing risk of smoke or fire.
■Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones,
or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
■Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven is hot, be careful to avoid touching hot surfaces.
■Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
■Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent.
Items may overheat resulting in a risk of fire or burns.
■Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is not permitted due to overheating of control knobs.

Using Your New Appliance
NOTE: Remove all protective packing before operating the oven.
The full owner's manual for your product includes additional information and cooking guides. Access the manual by searching for your appliance model number at cafeappliances.com/literature.
In Case of a Power Failure
In the event of a power failure, the oven is inoperable and no attempt should be made to operate it. However, the surface burners may be lit with a match. Using extreme caution, hold a lit match near the ports beneath the surface burner cap, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Once lit, surface burners will continue to operate normally.
Using The Cooktop
How to Light a Surface Burner
WARNING Burners should be operated only when covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the
cookware. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.
Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.
Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob in and turn it to the LITE position.
You will hear a clicking noise—the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. When one burner is turned to LITE, all burners will
spark. Sparking will continue as long as the knob remains at LITE.
Once gas is ignited, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
On some models, the burners on
this cooktop will automatically relight if the flame goes out.
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When rapid heating is desired, the flame size on a burner should match the size of the cookware you are using. Flames
larger than the bottom of the cookware
will not heat faster and may be hazardous.
These flames are too large for the pot

Using The Cooktop (Cont.)
How to Use Your Griddle
For complete griddle information, see the full owner's manual at cafeappliances.com/literature.
WARNING Fire Hazard
■Use care when cooking greasy foods. Spilled grease can result in fire.
■Never place any items on the griddle when it is not in use. Heat from surrounding burners can heat the griddle and can result in fire.
■Place and remove the griddle only when all grates and griddle are cool and all surface burners are turned OFF.
Before first use, rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly. Prepare surface with vegetable oil or cooking spray. The griddle can only be used over the center burners. Remove the center grate (if present) and replace with griddle.
Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the griddle burner on at HI for an extended amount of time without food can damage the coating.
Use CHEF CONNECT
For complete information about the CHEF CONNECT™ feature, see the full owner’s manual at cafeappliances.com/literature.
CHEF CONNECT™ is a Bluetooth® pairing feature for use with other compatible CHEF CONNECT™ enabled products like an over-the-range microwave oven or range hood. To pair those products to the range, press
the Settings pad to select Bluetooth® and follow the corresponding instructions included with the mating CHEF CONNECT™ enabled product.
Cleaning The Cooktop
For complete information about cleaning the cooktop, see the full owner’s manual at cafeappliances.com/literature.
Remove surface burners for cleaning as shown below.
Wash burner caps and burner heads in hot soapy water and rinse with clean water. The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame. Clogged or dirty burner ports will not allow burner to operate properly. Before putting burners back on the range, shake out any excess water and allow them to dry thoroughly.
CAUTION Do not operate the cooktop without all burner parts and grates in place.
Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care to not hit an electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged.
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the burner head is removed. When one burner is turned to
LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. Damage to the product may occur.
Removal of Surface Burners for Cleaning
Turn all controls OFF. Allow cooktop to cool before removing grates and burner parts. When removing the burner caps and heads, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning.
CAUTION Do not attempt to remove dual oval burner caps from the burner heads.
