A WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE
The California 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.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off volveand how to shut it off if necessory.
Have your range installed and properly Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. Allother service
should be referred to o qualified technician.
outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it isyour personal responsibility and
obligation to have an ungrounded outlet
replaced with o properly grounded,
three-prong outlet in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. Do not use
on extension cord with this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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. Seethe 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, storage drawer, warming
drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
CAUTION:Itemsofinterest
to children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of
a range-children climbing on the range
to reach items could be seriously injured.
A 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.
Neverwear loose-fittingor hanging garments
while usingthe appliance. Becareful when
reachingfor items stored incabinets over the
range.Flammable material could be ignited
if brought in contact with flame or hot oven
surfacesand may cause severeburns.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
a range storage drawer, a warming drawer
or near a cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids inthe 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 oven or warming drawer can
be smothered completely by closing the oven
door 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, kick panel or storage drawer.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can
lead to broken or shattered glass.

A 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 the LITE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
hove ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flume settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookwure. Excessive flume is hazardous.
Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flumes when lifting cookwure. Do not use
u towel or other bulky cloth in place of u pot
holder.
When using glass cookwure, make sure
it is designed for top-of-range cooking.
To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and spillage,
turn cookwure handles toward the side or
back of the range without extending over
adjacent burners.
Carefully watch foods being fried at u high
flume setting.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. Ifyou 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 may damage the burner grate and
burner head. Also, it may cause the burner
to work improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
Foods for frying should be as dry 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 try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat iscool.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the OFFposition and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
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 you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead
to damage and improper operation
of the range.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
COOKMEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an INTERNALtemperature of l60°F and poultry
to at least an INTERNALtemperature of l80°K Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodbome illness.
OVEN
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 oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Place the oven racks in the desired position
while the oven is cool.
Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest
position is not designed to slide.
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
A WARNING: NEVERcover
any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in
the oven except as described in this manual.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage
to the range.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens.
Always removeany broiler pan from range
as soon asyou finish broiling.Greaseleft in
the pan can catch fire if oven is usedwithout
removingthe greasefrom the broilerpan.
When broiling, if meat istoo close to the flame,
the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
Makesure any broiler pan is inplace correctly
to reducethe possibilityof greasefires.
Ifyou should have a grease fire in a broiler
pan, touch the Clear/Off pad, and keep
the oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out.
For safety and proper cooking performance,
always bake and broil with the oven door
closed.

Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware
isrecommended becauseit heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in
an aluminum skillet. Usesaucepans with
tight-fitting lidswhen cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: Ifheated slowly,most skillets
will givesatisfactory results.
Enamelware: Undersome conditions,
the enamel of some cookwure may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer's
recommendations for cooking methods.
Stove Top Grills (on models with sealed burners)
Do not usestove top grillson your sealedgas
burners. If you usethe stove top grill on the
sealedgas burner, it will causeincomplete
combustion and can result in exposure to
carbon monoxide levelsabove allowable
current standards.
Glass: Thereare two types of glass
cookware-those for oven use onlyand those
for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,coffee
and teapots).Glassconducts heat very slowly.
HeatproofGlass-Ceramic: Canbe used for
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts
heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check
cookware manufacturer's directions to be
sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties and isusually combined
with copper,aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skilletsusually work satisfactorily
if they are usedwith medium heat

Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foilon the bottom
of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum
foil.This willdisturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.
Oven Moisture
Asyour oven heats up,the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch
a spilloverby placing iton a lower rack
several inches below the food.
Thesedroplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
