Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your range, follow basic safety precautions,
including the following:
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: To avoid the possibility of explosion or fire, 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: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous
– even if they sit out for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old range, please follow the instructions below to help
prevent accidents. Before you throw away your old range:
Take off the oven door(s).
•
Leave the racks in place so that children cannot easily climb inside.
•
Cut the prongs off of the power plug.
•
Cut off the power cable and discard it separately from the appliance.
•
WARNING
If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
1.
Make sure that the range has been properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer according to the accompanying
2.
installation instructions. Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut off valve and the fuse or junction box so that
you know where and how to turn off the gas supply and power to the range.
If the back wall is made of combustible materials do not operate the range without a backguard or raised vent in place. A fire
3.
may result.
Do not install, repair, or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in the literature accompanying it. A
4.
qualified service technician should perform all other service.
Before performing any type of service, make sure that the gas supply and electrical power to the range is turned off.
5.
NEVER block or cover any slots, holes or passages anywhere inside the oven or on the outside of the range. Doing so blocks
6.
airflow through the oven and cooktop and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning or fire. See the Getting to Know Your Range section for the location of the various air holes (slots).
Only use the range for cooking tasks expected of a home appliance as outlined in this manual. This range is not intended for
7.
commercial use.
DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR COOKTOP DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.
8.
Make sure individuals who use the range are able to operate it properly.
9.
Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or climb on any part of the range, including the door. Doing so may cause
10.
tipping, damage, serious injury or death.
Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area around the range. Do not allow children to play with the controls, pull on
11.
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
12.
appliance.
Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a power failure.
13.
Do not tamper with the controls.
14.
To prevent the unit from tipping forward and to provide a stable installation, the unit must be secured in place with the anti-tip
15.
device (See the separate installation instructions provided with this range.)
Do not cover the burners and grates with anything except properly selected utensils. Decorative covers may cause a fire hazard
16.
or damage to the range if a burner is accidentally turned on with the cover in place.
Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby food jars and cans. Pressure build up may cause the container to burst
17.
and cause injury.
Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for the first time.

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result. Smother any flames with a lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray.
19.
Use baking soda or a foam extinguisher to extinguish flaming grease. Be careful to avoid getting burned.
Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, plastic and cloth away from the burners and other hot surfaces. Do not place
20.
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
21.
oven or the cooktop and surrounding areas during and immediately after use.
Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.
22.
Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over the range.
23.
If the range is near a window, do not use long curtains as window treatment. The curtains could blow over the cooktop and
24.
create a fire hazard.
To avoid the possibility of fire, do not leave the range unattended when using the cooktop.
25.
When deep fat frying:
26.
- Be certain that the pan is large enough to contain the desired volume of food without overflow caused by the bubbling of the
fat. Never leave a deep fat fryer unattended.
- Avoid frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods with high water content may cause spattering or spilling of the hot fat.
- Heat fat slowly, and stir together any combination of oils and fats prior to applying heat. Utilize a deep fat frying thermometer
to avoid heating the fat to temperatures above the flash point.
Do not use the oven for storage.
27.
Clean and maintain the range regularly as instructed in this manual. Keep the entire range, ventilation filters and range hoods
28.
free of grease that could catch fire.
Do not touch the burner assembly, grates, and surrounding surfaces (including the backguard) or the interior surfaces of the
29.
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
30.
the cooktop and backguard to become hot.
Before using glazed cookware, such as glass, ceramic or earthenware, check the manufacturer’s temperature and usage rec-
31.
ommendations. Glazed cookware that is not designed for high heat use may crack or break, causing a spill or burn hazard.
Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching into the oven.
32.
Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a hot cooktop or in the oven. The steam can cause serious burns or scalds.
33.
Use only dry pot holders when removing food and cookware from the cooktop or oven. Wet pot holders can cause steam burns.
34.
Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before lighting a burner.
35.
Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations before use to determine if a utensil
36.
is suitable for use on a cooktop or in an oven. Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware are not suitable for use on a
cooktop. Personal injury or damage may result from the improper use of cookware.
Select cookware carefully. Use utensils of the proper size, material and construction for the particular type of cooking being
37.
done. Utensils need to be large enough to contain the desired quantity of food without boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose pans
with easy to hold handles that will stay cool while cooking. Do not use utensils with loose handles. Avoid using pans that are too
heavy to lift safely.
Turn the knobs to the “OFF” position prior to removing them from the valve stems.
38.
The cooktop should never be operated without the knobs and trim rings in place.
39.
For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the convection filter(s) installed. When the filter is not installed, the spinning
40.
fan blades at the back of the oven are exposed.
Do not allow food to sit in the oven for more than one hour before or after cooking. Eating spoiled food can result in food poi-
41.
soning.
Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room during cooking.

Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION
Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to remain on the range’s surfaces. The porcelain finish may stain.
1.
Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board.
2.
Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch the range’s
3.
surfaces.
To prevent damage, remove the meat probe from the oven when it is not being used.
4.
Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials. These items can melt or burn up during self-cleaning and cause
5.
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
6.
on the bottom of the oven could damage the bake element. In addition, the objects themselves may be damaged.
On some ovens, the bake and broil elements are behind glass panels on the floor and ceiling of the oven chamber. Do not allow
7.
these glass panels to become covered up by 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.
8.
Always ensure that the light fixture lens covers are in place when using the oven. The lens covers protect the light bulbs from
9.
breakage caused by high oven temperatures or mechanical shock.

GlideRack™1
BROIL ELEMENT: The source of top heat, attached to the oven’s
ceiling. The broil element is hidden above the glass panel on the
ceiling of the oven chamber.
CONVECTION FAN: The convection fan blows heated air into
the oven chamber during the convection cooking process. The
convection filter covers it.
CONVECTION ELEMENT: The convection element heats the air
that is blown into the oven chamber by the convection fan during
the convection cooking process. The convection filter covers it.
CONVECTION FILTER: The convection filter covers the
convection fan. It helps prevent the transfer of taste from one food
to another when you are cooking a whole meal. It also keeps the
oven cleaner, especially when convection roasting or convection
broiling. In addition, it covers the moving convection fan blades for
safety purposes.
