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.
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
LP fuels. 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.

SAFETYPRECAUtiONS

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

Have yOtlI"range installed and propeity Plug your range into a 120-voh grounded

accordance with fl_e Installation Instructions.

Any adjusunent and service should be

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--avoid 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 tile LITE position when ignidng

the top burners arrd make sure tile burners

haw ignited.
Never leaxe tile surfirce bm_rers unattended

at hiOr flame setting:s. Boilox>rs cause smoMng

Usingthe oven.

Toavoid possible bums, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin...

Ttieoven has 5 shelf positions.

It also has a special low shelf
position (R)for extra large items,
such as a large turkey.

Plastic items on ttie cooktop may
melt if left too close to ttie vent.

Vent appearance and location var}4

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the shelf supports (A

through E), they will stop before coming
completely out, and will not flit.

\Alton placing and removing cookware,

pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf
support.

Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through ducts at the

rear of the range. Do not block these ducts

when cooking in the oven--it is important
that the flow (ff hot air ti'om the oven and

ti'esh air to the oven burner be

uninmrrupted. Avoid touching the vent
openings or nearby surli_ces during oven or

broiler ol)eration--thev may become hot.

Toremove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the

ti'ont end up and pull it out.

Toreplace, place the end of the shelf (stoi>

locks) on the support, tilt up the ti'ont and
push the shelf in.

or the walls of the oven. If you need to use

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

approMmately 1½" bet_ven pans, from
the fl'ont, back and sides ot the wall.

Muminum fi)il may also be used to catch a
