• 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. Donot 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.

• Storagein or on Appliance--Flammablematerials

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 ornear 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 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 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 3hours 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 ignitionof 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.

• Knowwhich 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 itdoes 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, ignitionof 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.

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.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located at the center rear of the cooktop. Touching the surfaces inthis area when the oven isoperating 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/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 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. Ifa burner isaccidentally 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 ifapplied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

= 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 your 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 instructionsfor cleaning.

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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
