WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

The Califomb Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Califomb 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.

Gasappliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a blubh rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETYPRECAUtiONS

When using electrical appfiances, basic safety precautions should be foflowed, including the following:

Use dfis appliance only %r its irrtended
pui])ose as described in this Owner's

Manual.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and g]ounded by a qualified technician in

accordance with the provided irrstallation

irrstrnctions.

Do not attempt to repair or replace arty

part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be refetTed to a qualified

technician,

iiiiiiiiiiii_iii

Before performing any service, disconnect
tire range power supply at tire household

disuibudon panel by removing the fllse or

switching off"the circuit breaken

Do rant leax> children alone--children
should not be left alone or unatmnded in

an area where an appliance is in use. They
should nex>r be allowed to sit or stand on

arty part of the appliance.
Do not allow arp_'one to climb, stand or hang

on the door, storage diawet, or cooktop.
They could damage tire rang_ arrd ex_n tip

SAFETYPRECAUtiONS

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

Haxe your range irrstalled and properly
grounded by a qualified irrstallei, in

accordance with the Installaoon Instrncuons.

Any adjusunent arrd service should be
perforated only by qualified gas rang_

irrstallers or service technicians.

A WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--a void pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid 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.

Alwavs use tim LITE position when igniting

die top burners and make sme the burners
have ignited.

Nexer leave file smJ_ace bunlers unattended

'Adjust fire top burner flame size so it does

not extend beyond tile edge of the

cookware. Excessixe flame is hazardous.

Use only d U pot holders--moist or damp
pot holders on hot sniiCaces may Iesult in

bm_ls flom steam. Do not let pot holders
come near open flames when lifting

cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky
clotir in place of a pot holder

When using gtass cookware, make sure it
is designed for toi>of-rang> cooking.

To minimize tile possibility of l)m_rs, ignition
of flammable materials arrd spillage, turn

When flaming foods are under tire hood,
turn tire fan off: Tile t_an, if operating, mav

spread tile flames.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface

if tile wok has a round metal ring that is
placed oxer tim burner grate to support tire

wok. Tiffs ring acts as a heat trap, which m W
damage the humer grate and humer head.

Also, it may cause tire burner to work
improperly. Tills may cause a carbon

Preheat the oven if' the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct

temperatm'e. Preheating is necessm w when
baking cakes, cookies, past_ T and breads.

For ovens without a preheatindicatorhghtor tone,
preheat 10 minutes.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use ahmfinum foil to catch spilloxe_s

when using tile Circu_Vaxe tim. Tile foil
will be sucked toward tile comection tim.

You can use aluminum flfil to line tile

broiler pan and broiler grid. However;

vou must mold tile fi)il tightly to tile

grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Oven Moisture

_s vour oven heats up, tile temperature

change of tile air in tile oven may Catlse

water droplets to tirol/ on tile door glass.

These droplets are hmmless and will
e\;ll)Oi'ate as tile ()veil contintles to heat up.

Baking results will be better if baking pans
aye centei'ed in tile oven as i/ltlch as

possible. Pans should not touch each other
or tile walls oI tile oven. If you need to

rise two shelves, stagger tile pans so one
is not directly above the other; and leave

approMmamly 1 I/_)"between pans, ti'om
the front, back and sides of the wall.

Aluml)_um foilmay also be used to catch a spi//ove_
Never entirely cover a shelf with ahmfinum

foil. This will disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch

a spillover by plating it on a lower shelf
several inches below tile food.

Usingtheprobe.(onsome models) www.aEApplia.ces.com

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness.

_Mter preparing the meat and placing it

Insert the probe completely into the meat.
It should not touch the bone, ti_t or gristle.

For roasts with no bone, insert the probe
into the meatiest part of the roast. For
