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 your range installed and properly Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
grounded by a qualified installel, in

accordance with fl_e Installation Instructions.

Any adjusunent and service should be

performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service mchnicians.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other

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 spiflovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain
the food properly. Thiswill 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

Always use tile LITEposition 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
arrd greasy spillox>rs that m W catch on fire.

Adjust fire mp burner flame size so it
does not exmnd beyond tire edge of tire

Use only dU pot holders--moist or damp

pot holders on hot surtaces may result in

1)urlrs flom steam. Do not let pot holders
come near open flames when lifting

cool<ware. Do not use a towel or oilier bu]kv
clofll in place of a pot holder

When using glass cool<ware, make sure it
is designed for mI>-of-rang> cooking.

To minimize tile possibility of bums, ignition
of flammable materials arrd spillage, turn

cookware handles toward tire side or back

Use a deep fat thei_nometer whenexer
possil)le to prexent oveflleafing fat beyond

tile smoMng point.

Use fire least possible amount of fat for
effecfixe shallow or deeI>lzat ruing. Filling

tire pan mo fill of fiat can cause spilloxers

when food is added.

Do not flame foods on d_e cooktop. If you

do flame foods under file hood, aim tile

Do not use a wok on the cooldng surlZace

if tire wok has a round metal ring that is
placed oxer fire burner gxam to support tire

wok. Tiris ring acts as a heat trap, which m W
damage the 1)urner gram and 1)urner head.

Also, it m W cause tile burner to work
improperly. Tills may cause a carbon

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°Fand poultry to
at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°ECooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodbome illness.

UPPEROVEN

Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can
cause bums to hands, face and eyes.

Do not use the ox.en for a storag.e area,
Items stored in file oven can ig_ite.

Kee I) the ox.en fl,ee from grease buildup.
Place the ox.en sheh.es in the desired
