NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in

carbon monoxide poisoning.

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. Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or

drawers of a range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the appliance, DO NOT

allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the

range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

Storage in oron appliance=flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface

units or in the storage drawer, warmer drawer or lower oven. 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 range.

clock and oven function.

DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR

THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERSORINTE_OR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface 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 cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and

window.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

Use Proper Flame Size--Adjustflamesizesoitdoes notextendbeyond theedge oftheutensil.The use of

undersizedutensilswillexposea portionoftheburner flametodirectcontactand may resultinignitionof clothing,Properrelationshipofutensiltoflamewillalso

improveefficiency.

• 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 knob to the full LITE position when ignitingtop burners,Visually check that burner has lit.

Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the

edge of the utensil.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not

extend over adjacent surfaceburners--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 heat settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking

due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.

= When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn

the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door, warmer drawer or lower oven 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 vent

is located 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 hot heating

elements in the oven. 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.

Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the

oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in

this manual. Improper installation of these liners may

result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

IlvIPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep ail parts free of

grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention

to the area around each surface burner. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

• Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate by blowing a downward air flow on to a range, shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other

than when the hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for

use in combination with each other.

Kitchen cleaners and aerosoismAiways follow the

manufacturer's recommended directions for use, Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols

may ignite causing damage and injury.

= Clean ventilating hoods frequently=Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning hoods.
