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 bums. 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.

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.

o Use only dry potholders--Moist or damp potholders

on hot surfaces may resultin burns from steam. Do not

let potholders touch hot heating burners. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

time, make sure that ithas been exposed to atemperature
above 0°C/32 °Ffor at least 3 hours before connecting itto
the power supply.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP

Use proper flame size--Adjust flame size

so itdoes 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, itwill cause incomplete combustion and
can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your

health.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place
a pan of food on the burner before turning iton, 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 isequipped 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.

o 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 isturned inward, and
does not extend to adjacent surface burners.

• Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings--Boilove rscause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

= Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil toline 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.

= 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. Ifaburner

isaccidentally tu reed 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN

• 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 orsteam escape
before you remove or replace food in the oven/warm &

serve drawer.

• 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 graspthe 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 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.

• 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

• Cleantherangeregularlytokeepallpartsfreeofgrease
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.

• 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.

SELF=CLEANING OVENS

• in the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in
this Use and Care Guide. Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the

oven.

• 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.

• Do not clean door gasket--The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or move the gasket.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks colorwill change ifleft in
the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely

sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of the range. Move the birds to another well ventilated

room.
