Safety Symbols in this Manual
DANGER
Immediate hazards that WILL result in severe personal injury or
death.
WARNING
Hazards or unsafe practices that COULD result in severe
personal injury or death.
CAUTION
Hazards or unsafe practices that COULD result in minor
personal injury or property damage.
DANGER
IMPORTANT: If you smell gas:
• Do not use or light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch or use any electrical
devices, including the telephone, in your building.
• From a neighbors phone, immediately call the gas supplier.
Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot contact the gas supplier, call the fire
department.
IMPORTANT: Do not store or use combustible, flammable or
explosive vapors and liquids (such as gasoline) inside or in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance. Also keep items that could
explode, such as aerosol cans, away from the burners and the
oven. Do not store flammable or explosive materials in adjacent
cabinets or areas.
IMPORTANT: Junked or abandoned appliances are dangerous
and can cause a child entrapment and suffocation hazard.
When taking an appliance out of service, immediately follow
the instructions below to help prevent accidents:
• Take off the door.
• Leave the racks in place so children cannot easily climb
inside.
• Cut the prongs off the power cable plug and discard them.
• Cut the power cable off and discard it separately from the
old appliance.
WARNING
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 appliance.
WARNING
WARNING – NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages on
the inside or outside of the range or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
WARNING
Tip-over hazard:
• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Attach the anti-tip bracket to the floor as directed in these
installation instructions.
• Engage the floor mounted anti-tip bracket by sliding the antitip foot on the range into it according to these installation
instructions. Using a flashlight, be sure that the anti-tip
bracket engages the range’s anti-tip foot as shown below.
• After moving the range, be sure to re-engage the anti-tip
foot into the anti-tip bracket as shown below.
• See the anti-tip bracket installation instructions in this guide
for further details.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
serious burns to children or adults.

that are on the list of substances which are known by the State
of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California
law requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these
substances, always operate this unit according to the use

Important Safety Instructions
General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, serious injury or death when installing or using this appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
WARNING
• Read the accompanying use and care manual completely before operating this appliance.
• Keep packaging materials away from children. Plastic sheets and bags can cause suffocation.
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
• This range must be properly installed by a qualified installer according to these installation instructions prior to use. The installer
must show the customer the location of the gas shut off valve and the circuit breaker panel or fuse box so that they know where
and how to turn off the gas supply and electric power to the range.
• Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in the literature accompanying it. A
qualified service technician should perform all other service.
• Do not connect this range to the gas supply without the supplied gas pressure regulator installed.
• Before performing any type of service or installation, make sure that the gas supply and electric power to the range are off.
• NEVER block or cover any slots, holes or passages anywhere inside the oven or on the outside of the range or cover an oven
rack with materials such as aluminum foil. See the Getting to Know Your Range section of the use and care manual for the
location of the various air holes (slots).
• Only use the range for cooking tasks expected of a home appliance as outlined in the literature accompanying it. This range is
not intended for commercial use.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR COOKTOP DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.
• Do not climb on any part of the appliance.
• Never leave this appliance unattended when in use.
• Do not leave children or pets 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.
• Do not store items of interest to children on top of or above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the
appliance.
• Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a power failure.
• Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or alter any part of the range unless specifically instructed to do so in these
instructions.
• Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for the first time.
• Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, plastic and cloth away from the burners and other hot surfaces. Do not place
such items in the oven. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot surfaces or gas burners.
• 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.
• To avoid a fire hazard, do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over the range. 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.
• Do not use the oven for storage.
• Do not touch the burner assembly, grates or surrounding surfaces (including the backguard) or the interior surfaces of the oven
during use. After use, make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to cool before touching them.
• Do not touch the outside surfaces of the range during the self-clean cycle. They will be hot. Venting from the oven may cause the
cooktop and backguard to become hot.
• Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before lighting a burner.
• Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing them from the valve stems.
• Do not operate the cooktop without the knobs and trim rings in place.
• For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the convection filter installed. When the filter is not installed, the spinning fan
blades at the back of the oven are exposed.

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room during cooking.
• To prevent damage, remove the meat probe from the oven when it is not being used.
• Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials. These items can melt or burn up during self-cleaning and cause
permanent damage to the oven.
• Do not leave metal objects, such as aluminum foil, the meat probe, cookie sheets, etc. on the bottom of the oven. Objects left on
the bottom of the oven could damage the bake element. In addition, the objects themselves could be damaged.
• The bake and broil elements are behind glass panels on the floor and ceiling of the oven chamber. Do not cover these glass
panels with cookie sheets, aluminum foil, pots, pans, etc. Covering them could cause the heating elements to over-heat,
damaging the oven.
• Do not expose the knobs or trim rings to direct flame, hot utensils or other sources of heat.
• Always ensure that the light fixture lens covers are in place when using the oven. The lens covers protect the light bulbs from
breakage caused by high oven temperatures or mechanical shock.
