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

irrstructions.

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 lem> 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

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

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

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

flame seuing. 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 ox>r fl)e sides of the pan.

Nex_r t_T to moxe a pan of hot t_at,especially

a deep fat flTer V(ait until the fat is cool. Do not leme plastic items on the cooktoI>--

To axoid the possibility' of a burn, always be certain flint fl_e controls for all humers are

before attempting to remox_ them. If rang_ is located near a windo_, do not

hang long curtains that could hlow oxer the surtZace hurners arrd create a fire hazard.

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

arrd call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak. Always tun_ tire surface burner cormols off

before removing cookware.

Use fire least possible amount of _at for effbctive shallow or deeI>fat flTing. Filling
