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

A WARNIN6!

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. Usepans with handles that can be easily grasped

and remain cool.

Alwavs use the LITE position when igniting

file top burners and make sure the bm_ers
have ignited.

Nexer leave file smlaace bun_ers unattended

at hiOr flame setting:s. Boilox>rs cause
smoking arrd greasy spillox>rs that m W

catch on rite.

Adjust tire top burner flame size so it does

not extend beyond the edge of tire

cookware. Excessixe flame is hazardous.

Use only dU pot holders--moist or damp
pot holders on hot stliiCaces may _esult 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
cloth in place of a pot holder

When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for mI>of-rang> cooMng.

To minfinize the possibility of bmTrs, ignition
of flammable materials arrd spillage, turn

cookware handles reward tim side or back
of Ore rang> without extending ox>r

adjacent hurners.
Ca_eflflly watch fbods heing fl_ied at a higtl

Alwavs heat tilt slowl> arrd watch as it heats.

Do not leme any items on tire cookmp. The

hot air from tim vent m W ignite flammable
items arrd will increase pressure ira closed
corrtainers, which mav cause them to burst.

If a coml)ination of oils or rifts will be used
in flTing, stir together 1)efore heating or

as tilts meh slowly.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenex_r

possihle to prex_nt ovefl_eafing laatheyond

Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you

do flame fbods under the hood, turn the

Jean on.

Do not use a wok on the cooking surface

if fl_e wok has a round metal ring flrat is
placed oxer the burner grate to support tire

wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which m W
damage tire burner grate and humer head.

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

monoxide lex>l above flrat allowed by cunent

standards, resulting in a health hazard.

Foods for flTing should be as d U as possible.
Frost on flozen foods or moisture on flesh

foods can cause hot laatto hubble up arrd

If you smell gas, turn off the gvts to fire rang_

arrd call a qualified service technician. Never

Adjustthe upperoventhermostat--Do it yourself! ge.com

Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks
to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the
thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be
retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetypeofmargarine will affect bakingperformanc!!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat).

If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower

the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal st;indards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight, Ix)w-tilt spreads, on the

other hand, contain less tilt and more water: The high moisture content of these spreads aftects the mxtm'e and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with u)m" old til\'mite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least

70% vegetable oil.

LOCATIONGUIDELINES

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or waft
behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that
supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.

Your range, like many other household items,

is heavv and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or ca_])eting. Use care

when moving the range on this _:pe _ff flooring.

It is recommended that the fi>llowing simple and
inexpensive instructions be ti_llowed to protect

VO[II" flom:

The range should be installed on a sheet of
plywood (or similar material). _,\]_en the floor

covering ends at the fl'ont of the range, the area
that the range will rest on should be built up

with plywood to the same level or higher than

the floor covering.

This Mll allow the range to be moved fk_r cleaning
or servicing. Mso, make sm'e yore" floor covering
will withstnnd 180°F. (See the Installation Safety

Instructions section.)

Make sm'e the wall coverings arotmd yore" range
can withst;md the heat generated (up to 200°F)

by the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions

section.)

IMPORTANT!

Remove aft tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level

Take the accessory pack out of the oven.

For proper operation, the pressure of natm'al
gas supplied to the regulator must be between
