Important Safety Instructions

• 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 the National Fuel

Gas Code ANSI Z223,- 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 power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the range.

Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above a range or on the backguard of the range. Children climbing on the range to reach

items could be seriously injured.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if

it is to be stored or discarded.

• 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 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 mate-

rials 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 or on 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.

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, including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer,

warmer drawer or lower double oven.

For electric ignition models only: Do not attempt

to operate the range during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range. If the range

is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset

the clock and oven function.

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.

• 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

igniting top 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 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

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.

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.

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.

IM PO RTANT 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 around each surface burner. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

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.

Clean ventilating hoods frequently--Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood

or filter. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for

cleaning hoods.

such substances.

Grounding Instructions

See the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS packaged with this range for complete installation and grounding instructions.

Grounding type wall receptacle

Do not under any circumstance, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.

Power supply cord with 3-prong grounding plug.

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS

NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR 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.

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.

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.

Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an adapter plug, an extension cord, or remove grounding

prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this

warning can cause serious injury, fire or death. 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 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Use dry potholders - moist or damp potholders

on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.

Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. 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.

Conversion to Liquefied Petroleum Gas

Personal injury or death from electrical shock may occur if the range is not installed by a qualified installer or

electrician.

Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application

needs must be made by a qualified technician.

If your gas range model is designed to allow for L.P. conversion, the L.P. conversion kit may be obtained from your local appliance dealer and should be installed by a qualified service technician. Before installing the kit be sure to follow the L.P. Installation Instructions carefully.
