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:

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 the LITEposition when igniting
fl_e top burners and make sme tile burners have ignited.
E:,:Nex.er leave file smlaace bun_ers unattended
at hiO_ flame setfing:s. Boilox.ers cause smoking and gi.easy spillox.ers that m W
catch on fire.
;fi:,iAdjust die top burner flame size so it does
not exmnd beyond tile edge of the
cookware. Excessi_.e flame is hazardous.
_?{:_Use only d U pot holders--moist or damp
pot holders on hot sniiCaces may I.esult in burns flom smam. 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
E:':When using glass cookwaI.e, make sure it
is designed for mI>of-rang.e cooMng.
_{_To minimize tile possibility of burlls, ignition
of flammable materials and spillag.e, turn cookware handles reward file side or back
of file rang.e without exmnding ox.er
adjacent burners.
_{_Careflllly watch tbods being flied at a higtl
flame seuing.
_:;Do not flame fbods on d_e cooktop. If you do
flame foods under file hood, mm the £m on.
_?{::Do not use a wok on the cooking surface
if fl_e wok has a round metal ring fl_at is placed ox,er the burner gram to support tile
wok. Tiffs ling acts as a heat trap, which m W damag.e the burner gram and burner head.
Also, it may cause the burner m work improperly. Tills may cause a carbon

standards, resulting in a healfll hazard.
E:,:Foods for flTing should be as d U as possible.
Frost on flozen foods or moisun_e on flesh foods can cause hot fiat to bubble/l I) and

Usingtheprobe. (onsome models)
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness.
The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact aloneness you want.
Thetemperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes
flTtothe outlet in the oven.
Use of l)robes other than the one pr(wided
with this product may result in damage to
the probe.
Use the handles of the probe and plug
