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

grounding prong fiom dm ping. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical

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
those fin" toi>of-range cooking (saucepans,
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
