materials accumulate in or near the cooker.
Grease in the oven or on the hob may ignite.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on
the hood or filter.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING
WARNING
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface
burner by covering the pan completely
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray. If necessary, use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven during baking,
turn the oven off and keep the door closed
until the fire goes out. If necessary, use
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam
type fire extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven during self
-clean, turn the oven off and wait for
the fire to go out. Do not force the door
open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean
temperatures may lead to a burst of flame
from the oven. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in severe burns.
• Do not use any type of foil or liner to
cover the oven bottom, drip pans or
anywhere in the oven, except as described
in this manual. Oven liners can trap heat
or melt, resulting in damage to the product
and risk of shock, smoke or fire.

HOB SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Never leave the surface burners unattended
at medium or high heat settings. Foods,
especially oily foods, may ignite resulting
in fire that could spread to surrounding
cabinets.
• Never leave oil unattended while frying.
If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point,
oil may ignite resulting in fire that may
spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep
fat thermometer whenever possible to
monitor oil temperature.
• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum
amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and
avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive
amounts of ice.
• Use proper pan size and avoid pans that
are unstable or easily tipped. Select
cookware that is matched to the size of
the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted
so that they do not extend beyond the
bottom of the pan. Excessive flame may
be hazardous.
• Always use the LITE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
• When using glass/ceramic cookware, make
sure it is suitable for hob service; others may
break because of sudden change in
temperature.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, the
handle of a container should be turned
toward the center of the cooker without
extending over nearby burners.
• When preparing flaming foods under a
hood, turn the fan on.
• Do not use a wok with a round metal
support ring. The ring may trap heat and
block air to the burner resulting in a carbon
monoxide hazard.
• Do not attempt to lift the hob. Doing
so may damage the gas tubing to the
surface burners resulting in a gas leak and
risk of fire.
• When disabling Lock Control (on some
models), make sure the surface controls
are set to the OFF position. This will prevent
unintended gas flow from the burners.
• Do not use aluminum foil to cover the
grates or line any part of the hob.
Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning, overheating of the hob
surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.
OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Grease in the oven may ignite.
• Place oven racks in desired location while
oven is cool. If rack must be moved while
oven is hot, be careful to avoid touching
hot surfaces.
• Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position
when loading and unloading food from the
oven. This helps prevent burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.
• Do not leave items such as paper, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not in
use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
NEVER cover any slots, holes, or
passages in the oven bottom or cover
an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil or oven liners. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven
and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Never place foil or oven liners
on the oven bottom. They can trap heat
causing risk of smoke or fire.
WARNING
• Use this appliance for its intended purpose
as described in this owner’s manual.
• Stand away from the cooker when opening
the oven door. Hot air or steam which
SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
The self-cleaning feature
operates the oven at temperatures high
enough to burn away food soils in the oven.
Follow these instructions for safe operation.
• Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean
operation. Keep children away from the
oven during self-cleaning. Failure to follow
these instructions may cause burns.
• Before operating the self-clean cycle,
remove pans, shiny metal oven racks and
other utensils from the oven. Only porcelain
-coated oven racks may be left in the oven.
Do not use self-clean to clean other parts,
such as grates.
• Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe
grease and food soils from the oven.
Excessive amount of grease may ignite
leading to smoke damage to your home.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician.
• 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 INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
• Do not leave items on the hob near the
oven vent which is in the center of
the backguard. Items may overheat
resulting in a risk of fire or burns.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Never broil with door open. Open-door
broiling is not permitted due to overheating
of control knobs.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly
peel it from the appliance surface. Do not
use any sharp items to remove the film.
Remove all of the film before using the
appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the
finish of the product, the safest way to
remove the adhesive from packaging
tape on new appliances is an application
of a household liquid dishwashing detergent.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed
from all parts. It cannot be removed if
it is baked on.

DAILY USE
How to Light a Surface Burner
WARNING
operated only when covered by
cookware. Burner flames not covered
by cookware present a risk of fire or
clothing ignition. Never let flames
extend beyond the sides of the
cookware. Failure to comply may result
in serious injury.
Make sure all burners are in their correct
locations and
fully assembled before
attempting to operate any burner. Select
a burner and find its control knob. Push
the knob in and turn it to the LITE position.
You will hear a clicking noise—the sound
of the electric spark igniting the burner.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all
burners will spark.
Sparking will
continue as
long as the
knob remains
at LITE. Once
gas is ignited,
turn the knob
to adjust the
flame size.
After Lighting a Burner
• Do not operate the burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may discolor
or chip without cookware to absorb the
heat.
• Do not attempt to disassemble any burner
while another burner is on. An electric
shock may result, which could cause
you to knock over hot cookware.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder
or cleaning materials on them.
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust
heat. When rapid heating is desired, the
flame size on a burner should match the
size of the cookware you are using. Flames
larger than the bottom of the cookware will
not heat faster and may be hazardous.

Top-of-Cooker Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly and
evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tightfitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware—those for oven use only and
those for top-of-cooker cooking (saucepans,
coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used
for either surface or oven cooking. It
conducts heat very slowly and cools very
slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on
gas cooker.
