— Installation and service must be performed by a

qualified installer, servicer or the gas supplier.

• All ranges can tip.

• Injury to persons could result.

• Install anti-tip device packed with range.

• See Installation Instructions.

To reduce the risk of

tipping, the range must be secured by properly installed anti-tip bracket(s) provided with the range. To check if the bracket(s) is installed properly, remove the lower panel or storage drawer and verify that the anti-tip bracket(s) is engaged. Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper anti-tip bracket(s) installation.

• Remove all tape and packaging 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 Canadian Standards CAN/CGA B149.1, and CAN/CGA B149.2 and Canadian Electrical Code, part 1, and local requirements. Install only per installation

instructions provided in the literature package for this appliance.

Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the electrical power to the appliance 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, This may 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 door or drawer of this range can result in serious injuries and 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.

Do not use the oven or Warm & Serve Drawer (if equipped) for storage.

Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range. Children climbing on the

range to reach items could be seriously injured.

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.

Important Safety Instructions

• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface burners or in the drawer (if equipped). This includes paper,

plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.

• Do not leave children alone—Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand

on any part of the appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR

THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface burners and

oven burners may be hot even though flames are not visible. Areas near surface burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

• Wear proper apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable

materials contact hot surfaces.

IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the oven. If the oven is not turned off and the power

resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before connecting it to the power supply.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

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.

Do not use stove top grills on the burner grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

• Do not use water or flour on grease fires—Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or

grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to

turn off the main gas shutoff valve.

• Use only dry potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do

not let potholders touch hot heating burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do not heat unopened food containers—Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner.

Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

• Always turn the knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit.

Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface burner 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 to adjacent surface burners.

Important Safety Instructions

• Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat 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, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.

• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. 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.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop—If cooktop

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean cooktop glass with caution—If a wet sponge or

cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom 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 trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

• Placement of oven/warm & serve drawer (if equipped)

racks. Always place oven racks in desired location

while oven/warm & serve drawer (if equipped) 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 hot heating elements in the oven/warm & serve drawer (if equipped). Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

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

broiler pan and its 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 with a damp cloth.

Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance 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. Exhaust fan ventilation

hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door or warm & serve drawer (if equipped)—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/ warm & serve drawer.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located at the center rear of the cooktop. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heatsensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the

manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

• In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in this Use and Care Guide. Before self-cleaning the

oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• Do not use oven cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

Important Safety Instructions

• Do not clean door gasket—The door gasket is

essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left

in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

Grounding Instructions

For personal safety, the cooktop must be properly grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is correctly polarized and properly grounded. DO NOT Operate the cooktop using a 2-prong adapter or an extension cord. 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 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. See the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS packaged with this cooktop for complete installation and grounding 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.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of the range. Move the birds to another well ventilated room.
