WARNING!
IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
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, namelg benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by o bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances con 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 necessarg.
_::Have your range installed and properly
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.
_t_:_Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
_t_:_Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
outlet onlg. 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.

multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguishe[
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 can be smothered completelg by closing the oven door and
turning the control to off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-tgpe fire extinguishe[
;_i:,: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
properlg 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 broiler compartment or kick panel.
_?_::Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can

COOKMEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an INTERNALtemperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNALtemperature of l80°E 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 burns to hands, face and eyes.
ii//i/i!ii_i_iiii/
;_):,:Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored inthe oven can ignite.
;_i:,:Keep the oven free from grease buildup. ;_i:,:Place the oven shelves in the desired aosition
while the oven is cool.
;_i:,:Pulling out the shelf 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.
_t::_Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
WARNING: NEVERcover
any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire shelf 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.
;_i:,:Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the
oven except asdescribed in this manual.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage
to the range.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select coo!<wore having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, mal<esure coo!<wore 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 Life position when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.
_t_::Never leave the surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
_;i:,:Adjust the top burner flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
_t_:_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 flames when lifting cookware. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of
a pot holder.
;_i:,:When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed 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.
_t_:_Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
_t_:_Always heat fat slowlg, 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.
_t_::If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowlg,
;_::,:Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
_t_::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.
;_):,:Do not flame foods on the cooktop, If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
;_i:,: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
improperlg. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

The oven 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 the cooktop mag melt if left too close to the vent.
Vent appearance and location vary.
Theshelveshave stop-locks, sothat when placed correctlu on the shelf supports
(Athrough E),they will stop before coming completelu out, and will nottilt.
When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the
shelf support.
Oven Vent
Your oven isvented through ducts at the rear of the range.Do not block these ductswhen
cooking in the oven-it isimportant that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air
to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby
surfaces during ovenor broiler operation- they may become hot.
Toremove oshelf, pull it toward Uou,tilt the front end up and pull it out.
Toreplace, place the end of the shelf (stop-locks)on the support, tilt up the

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheatthe oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes,cookies, pastry and breads.
Forovenswithout apreheat indicator light or tone,preheat 10 minutes.
Aluminum Foil
Do notuse aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelfwith aluminum foil.Thiswilldisturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking. A smallersheet of foil may be usedto catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.
Oven Moisture
Baking resultswill be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible,
Pansshould not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to usetwo shelves,
stagger the pans so one isnot directly above the other,and leave approximately 1V2"
between pans,from the front, back and sides of the wall.
