WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement 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.

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 this appliance only %r its intended

part of your range unless it is specifically

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

technician.

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

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--a void pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having fiat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain

the food properlv. Thiswill both save cleaning time andprevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Usepans with handles that can be easily grasped

and remain cool

_; Alwavs use the LITE position when igniting

fire top burners and make sme tile burners have ignited.

E:,:Nex.er leave file sm/2ace bun_ers unattended

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in tile oven as Ill/lch _lS

possible. Pans should not touch each other or tile walls of tile oven. If w_u need to

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

appro_mately 1½" between pans, fl'om the fl'ont, back and sides of the wall.

Aluminum Foil

Do not useaiuminum foii on thebottom of the oven.

Do not rise ahlll/intllll foil to (at(h spillovels

when using the CircuX,_h\'e tim. The toil will be sucked toward the convection tim.

Never entirely cover a shelf with almninum 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 the food.
