A WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and

requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon

monoxide, formaldehgde and soot, caused primarilg bg the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Prapeflg adjusted buraers, indicated by a bluish rather than a gellow flame, will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized bg venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show gou the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessarg.

grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance with the Installation Instructions.

Any adjustment and service should be

performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.

_ Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other service

should be referred to a qualified technician.

i_}Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded

outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded,

three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use

an extension cord with this appliance.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION. READALL INSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

_, Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation.

i_ Be sure all packaging materials are

removed from the range before operating it

to prevent fire or smoke damage should the

packaging material ignite.

w, Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by

a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP)that is to be

used. Your range can be converted for use

with either type of gas. See the Installation

of the range section.

be made by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions and all codes and requirements

of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in

serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

_ After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type

of use. Never install it directly over interior

kitchen carpeting.

_ Do not leave children alone or unattended

where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.

_ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or

hang on the oven door, lower oven drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

_ CAUTION: Items of interest to children

should not be stored in cabinets above a

range or on the backsplash of a range- children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

i_}Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when

reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven

surfaces and may cause severe burns.

i_}Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range drawer or near a cooktop.

!:,_iDonot store or usecombustible materials,

gasoline orother flammable vapors and

liquidsin the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

_ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

_ 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.

Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--ovoid pans that ore unstable or easilg tipped. Select cool<wore having fiat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toovoid spillovers, make sure cool<wore is large enough to contain the food properlg. This will bath save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heav_l spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that con be eosilg grasped and remain cool

!:;_iAlways use the LITE position when igniting

the top burners and make sure the burners

have ignited.

!:;_iNever leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

_ Adjust the top burner flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

_ Useonly dry pot holders- moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use

a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot

holder.

i!:_When using glass cookware, make sure it

isdesigned for top-of-range cooking.

!:;_iTo minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back

of the range without extending over adjacent

burners.

_ Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

_ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. _ Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed

containers, which may cause them to burst.

i!:_If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating or

as fats melt slowly.

i_:_Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

_¢Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the

pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when

food is added.

!:;_iDo not flame foods on the cooktop. If you

do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

!:;_iDo not use a wok on the cooking surface

if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the

wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head.

Also, it may cause the burner to work

improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current

standards, resulting in a health hazard.

_ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh

foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

i_ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryen Wait until the fat is cool.

i_ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

!:;_iKeep all plastics away from the surface

burners.

_To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position and all grates are cool

before attempting to remove them.

_ If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and create a fire hazard.

_ If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

i_ Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

!:;_iDo not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can

lead to damage and improper operation of

the range.

_;When disabling Gas/Control Lockout, make

sure the surface controls are set to the OFF position. This will preclude gas flow when the

range is turned on
