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.

Gasappliances 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 yeflow 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.

;_;Hate your rang_ installed and properly ;_; Plug your rang_ into a 190_\_lt grounded

grounded by a qualified installer, in

accordance with the Installation Insuucdons.

Any adjustment and service should be
perfo,_ned only by qualified gas rang>

installers or service technicians.

_:;i_'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 refetTed to a qna]ified

technician,

outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong fiom dm ping. If in doubt

about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to haxe an ungrounded outlet

d_ree-prong outlet in accordance with

the National Electrical (;ode. Do not use

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--a void 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. 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 the LITE position when igniting

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is

recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly: Most foods brown evenly in an

aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum

Glass: There are two t},,pes of glass

cookware--those tot oven/Ise only and

coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat

very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used tot
either smJhce or oven cooking. It conducts

heat very slowly and cools veI_' slowly. Check
cookware manufi_cturer's directions to be

sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor

heating properties and is usually combined

with coppei; ahnninum or other met;ds for

improved heat distribution. Combination
