WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement 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.
Gas appliances 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
LPfuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
Haveyour range installedand properly
grounded by a qualified installer,in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and serviceshould be
performed only by qualified gas range
installersor servicetechnicians.
Do notattemptto repairorreplaceany
partofyourrangeunlessitisspecifically
recommended inthismanual.Allotherservice
shouldbe referredtoa qualifiedtechnician.
Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have an ungrounded outlet
replaced with a properly grounded,
three-prong outlet in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. Do not use
an extension cord with this appliance.
IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION.
READALL INSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging
material ignite.
Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP)that is to be
used. Your range can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation
of the range section.
WARNING:Theseadjustments
must be made by a qualified service
technician in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and all codes
and requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualified agency performing
this work assumes responsibility for the
conversion.
After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such type
of use. Never install it directly over interior
kitchen carpeting.
Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door, lower oven drawer, warming
drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
CAUTION:Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of a
rangeichildren climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited
if brought in contact with flame or hot oven
surfaces and may cause severe burns.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
a range drawer or near a cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the upper oven or lower oven drawer
can be smothered completely by closing the
oven door or drawer and turning the control
to off or by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air openings
are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the
top and bottom of the oven door, and at the
bottom of the range under the warming
drawer, lower oven drawer or kick panel.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.
WARNING: NEVERusethis
appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and
/4
overheating of the oven.

WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan s/zelavoid 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.
Always use the L/TE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasg spillovers that may catch on fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend begond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
Use onlg drg pot holders- moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces mag result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use
a towel or other bulks cloth in place of a pot
holder.
When using glass cookware, make sure it
isdesigned for top-of-range cooking.
To minimize the possibilitg of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
Carefullg watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
Alwags heat fat slowlg, and watch as it heats.
Do not leave ang items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent mag ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which mag cause them to burst.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frging, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slowlg.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat begond
the smoking point.
Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frging. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you
do flame foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner grate to support the
wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which mag
damage the burner grate and burner head.
Also, it mag cause the burner to work
improperlg. This mag cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed bg current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
Foods for frging should be as drg as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
Never trg to move a pan of hot fat, especiallg
a deep fat frger. Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-
theg mag melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics awag from the surface
burners.
To avoid the possibilitg of a burn, alwags be
certain that the controls for all burners are
at the OFF position and all grates are cool
before attempting to remove them.
If range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and create a fire hazard.
If SOUsmell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
Alwags turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can
lead to damage and improper operation of the
range.
When disabling Gas/Control Lockout, make
sure the surface controls are set to the OFF
position. This will preclude gas flow when
the range isturned on.
