All ranges can tip and injury could result.

Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach itto the wall and floor by installing the Anti--tip
device supplied.

Check if the device is installed and engaged properly. Make sure the chain fits securely into the slot

in the bracket.

Do not allow the chain or bracket to damage the gas plumbing in any way.

If you pull tile range ont from the wall for ally' reason, make snre the device is properly
engag.ed when you push tile rang.e back against tile wall. If it is not, thet.e is a possible risk of

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

The Califomb Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Californb to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, 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 abluish 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.

Hax.e your rang.e installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer; ill

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. This will 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 d_e LITE posidon when igniting

the top burners and make sure the burners

haze ignited.
Nexer leave flse surthce burners

unattended at hiOl flame setting:s.

Boiloxers cause smoking and greasy

spilloxers fllat may catch on fre.
Adjust tile mp bui_mr flame dze so it does

,lot extend beyond dse edge of tile

cookware. Excessixe flame is hazardous.
Use only d U pot holders--moist or damp

pot holders on hot surl_aces may resuh in
burlls flom 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 holden Such
cloths can catch fire on a hot burner

When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.

To minimize the possibility of btsY/lS,
ignidon of flammable matesials and

spillage, mm cookware handles reward

extending o_er adjacent burners.
Aiways mm file surl_ace burner conuols off

Carefldly wamh foods being fried at a hiO5

flame setting.
Nexer block tile xents (air opening:s) of tile

range. They provide tile air inlet and outlet
that are necessa5 T tbr the range to operate

properly with connect combustion. Air
openings are located at file rear of file

under tile storage drawer

AiwWs heat fi_t slowl> and watch as it heats.

Do not leave any items on file cookmp.

The hot air flom tile \etlt 511W ignite
flammable items and will increase plessure

in closed containers, which m W cause

them to burst.

If a combination of oils 05 fats will be used
in flying, stir together before heating or as

fats meh slowly.

Do not use a wok on the cooking suifi_ce
if file wok has a round metal ring that is
placed oxer the burner grate to support
file wok. This 5qng acts as a heat trap, which
may damage tile burner grate and burner

head. Also, it may cause file builder to work
improperly. This may cause a carbon

monoxide lexel above flint allowed by
cmxent standards, resulting in a heahh

hazard.
Foods for flying should be as dry as

possible. Frost on fozen foods or moisture
on flesh foods can cause hot l_atto bubble

up and oxer the sides of the pan.
Use the least possible amount of tht for

eflectixe shallow or deep-tht flTing. Filling
tile pan too flfll of fat can cause spillo_ers

when food is added.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenexer

possible to prexent oveflseafing fat beyond

Ne_er n;v to mo_e a pan of hot tht, especially
a deep l_atflyer _4'ait until the tht is cool.

When flaming foods are under tile hood,

If you smell gas, tuYil off the g_s to
the range and call a qualified service
technician. Nexer use an open flame to

locate a leak.
To axoid die possibility of a burn, always be

certain dsat file controls for all burners are
at tile off position and all gaates are cool

befose attempting to remoxe fllem.
Nexer clean tile cooktop s/5iPace when it is

hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fismes
and wet cloflls could cause steam burJls if

used on a hot surl_ace.
Nexer leave jars 05 cans of l_atdrippings

How to Light a Surface Burner

Donot operate theburner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate. Thefinish on
thegrate may chip without cookware to absorb

theheat.
Checkto be sure the bumer you tum on is the one

youwant to use.

Besure thebumers and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or

other mateda/s on them.

Thesmaller burner (right rearposition) will give the
best simmer results. Thelowest setting of the
burner has a smaflflame toprovide simmering
capability Tosimmer foods,set the co&top control
knob to the/owestsetting that wi// maintain the
desired simme_ If simmering on one burner and the
other burners are turned on, the gas flow of the
sirnmedngburner may have to beadjusted.

Be sure you turn the control knob
to OFFwhen you finish cooking.

Your surti_ce burners are lit b} electric
ionition, eliminating tile need tar standing

pilot lights with constnntly btlrning tlan/es.

Push the control knob in and mrn it

counterclockwise to tile rITE position.

Mter tile burner ignites, turn tile knob to

Off', turn tile knob clockwise as flu" as it

will go, to tile OFFposition.

:_In case of a power failure, youcan light the surface

burnerson your range with a match. Hold a lit match

to the burner, then push in and turn thecontrol knob
to the LITEposition. Useextreme caution when

lighting burnersthis way Surfaceburners in use

whenan electdcal power failure occurs wifl continue

How to Select Flame Size

Use a fiat-bottomed wok.

Forsafe handlIng of cookware,never let the flames
extend up the sides of the co&ware,

Watch tile flame, not tile knob, as vou

reduce heat. The flame size on a gas

bm'ner should match tile cookware w)u
are using.

Wok This Way

We recommendthat you use a fiat-bottomed wok,

availableat your local retail stores,or usethe Wok
Holderaccessory with traditional round bottomed woks,

TheWokHolder accesso_ model JXWK, canbe

ordered from your appliance dealer

The X&'ok Holder fits on top of tile range
grate to provide support and proper air

circulation for traditional rotmd bottom
woke only. Do not rise flat bottolned wales
with tile XAk)k Holder.

Cookware
Aluminum:Medium-weight cookware is

recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most fbods brown evenly in

an ahmfinmn skillet. Use saucepans with

tight fitting lids when cooking with
minim mn am Otlnts of water:

Enamelware:Under some conditions,

tile enaillel of soil/e cookware ill[iv illelt.

Follow cookware illanttfilCttli'ei"s

recommendations tot cooking methods.

Glass: There are two t)p_ of glass

cook\v_lI'e: those for oven rise only and

those for top-ot:range cooking

(saucepans, coffee and tea pots). Glass

conducts heat vex_' slowly.

Any flame larger than tile bottom of tile

cookware is wasted and only sei'_es to
heat tile handle.

Do not use a wok on }lily other stlpport

ring. Placing tile ring over tile burner
grate may cause the burner to work

standards. This could be dangerous to

your health. Do not tlW to use such wo]cs
