trical 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

o 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 nearthe 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 NOTTOUCH 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 letclothing 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 foam4ype extinguisher.

When heating fat or grease, watch itclosely. 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 atowel or other bulky cloth instead of apotholder.

,, 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.

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 tothe 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--lf 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.

* Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

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 oventwarm & 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 a 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.

iMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN

o 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.

o Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is

located at the center rear of the cooktop. Touching the

Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be
