 Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the

range. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with

packaging material.

 Proper InstallationBe sure your appliance is properly

installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 latest edition, or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1, and CAN/CGA B149.2, and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70latest edition, or in Canada CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local code requirements. Install only per installation

instructions provided in the literature package for this range.

Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the electrical power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.

User ServicingDo not repair or replace any part of the

appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals.

All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.

Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing

leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the product.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and may also cause damage to the range. Do not allow children to climb

or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

Use Proper Flame SizeAdjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. 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 flame will also improve efficiency.

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 the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Settings

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Protective LinersDo not use aluminum foil to line surface

burner pans, oven bottom or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may interfere with heat and air distribution, and combustion. Damage to the range or personal injury may result.

Glazed Cooking UtensilsOnly certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.

Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a burner is

accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

Use Care When Opening DoorStand to the side of the range

when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented

below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired

location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the oven burner flame or interior of the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack.

Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan

and insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed

fat and grease could ignite.

Do not touch a hot light bulb (some models) with a damp

cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the

range or turn off the power to the range before removing and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that

could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath

each surface burner. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

Kitchen cleaners/aerosolsAlways follow the manufacturer's

recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CONTINUOUS CLEANING OVENS (some models):

Do not use oven cleaners on the oven liner or any of the

continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces

can be identified by their rough surface finish.

Grounding Instructions

(electric ignition models only)

IMPORTANT: READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for

your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

For personal safety, the range must be properly grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is correctly polarized and properly grounded.

If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD ROUND GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG. SEE THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PACKAGED WITH THIS RANGE FOR COMPLETE INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT OPERATE THE RANGE USING A 2PRONG ADAPTER OR AN EXTENSION CORD.
