WARNING!

IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE

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 appfiances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namelbl benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehgde and soot, caused primarilbl bbl the incomplete combustion of natural gas
or LPfuels. Propeflbl adjusted burners, indicated bbla bluish rather than a blellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized bbtventing with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air
circulation.

iiiiiil

Be sure all packaging materials are removed

from the range before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging

material ignite.

iiiiiiili_

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.

_, WARNING: These adjustments

must 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, storage drawer, warming
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.

WARNING: usethis

appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and

overheating of the oven.

Neverwear loose-fittingor hanging garments

while usingthe appliance.Becareful when

reachingfor itemsstored in cabinetsoverthe
range.Flammablematerial could beignited

ifbrought in contact with flame or hot oven

surfaces andmay cause severeburns.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range storage drawer, a warming drawer
or near a cooktop.

Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids inthe 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

foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or,

if available, by using a multi-purpose dry

chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven or warming drawer can
be smothered completely by closing the oven

door and turning the control to off or by using
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type

fire extinguisher.

iiiiiil

Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where

children can reach them.

iiiiiiili_

Never block the vents (air openings) of

the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate

properly with correct combustion. Air openings

are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the
top and bottom of the oven door, and at the

bottom of the range under the warming

drawer, kick panel or storage drawer.

iiiiiiili_

Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can
lead to broken or shattered glass.

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easfl_l tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough
to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations
of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can

be easily grasped and remain cool.

Always use the LITE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners

have ignited.
Never 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.

Use only 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. ':_

When using glasscookware, make sure

itis designedfor top-of-range cooking.

':_To 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.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating or as fats

melt slowly.
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.

iiiil}i

Do not flame foods on the cooktop. Ifyou do

flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

iiiiiiili_

Do 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.

Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

iiiiiil

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

Keep 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 OFFposition 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.

iiiiiil

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.

iiiiiiili_

Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

iiiiiiili_

Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead

to damage and improper operation
of the range.

Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum
foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation

and result in poor baking.

Oven Moisture

Asyour ovenheats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.

A smaller sheet of foil may beusedto catch
a spilloverby placing it on a lower rack

several inches below the food.

Thesedroplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
