with either tgpe of gas. See the Installation
of the range section.
WARNING: These adjustments
must be made bg a qualified service technician
in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and all codes and requirements
ofthe authoritg having jurisdiction. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in serious
injurg or propertg damage. The qualified
agencg performing this work assumes
responsibility for the conversion.
Be careful when you clean the cooktop
because the area over the pilot (on standing
pilot models) will be hot.
After prolonged use of a range, high floor
tern peratures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vingl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such tgpe
of use. Never install it directlg over interior
kitchen carpeting.
Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range ishot or in Operation. Theg

Do not iet 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
bg covering thepan completelg with a
well-fitting lid,cookie sheet or flat trag.
Use a multi-purpose drg chemical or

Letthe 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. Theg provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessarg for the range to ooerate
properlg with correct combustion. Air openings
are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the
top and bottom of the oven door, and atthe

@Do not use gour oven todrg newspapers.
If overheated, theg can catch fire.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
@Placethe oven racks in the desired position

Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavg foods. It isalso
a precaution against burns from touching hot

a fire and.result in high carbon monoxide,
WARNING: NEVERcover

materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and
mag cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings mag also trap

for use in gas ovens.
_Alwags remove ang broiler pan from range
assoon as gou finish broiling. Grease left in
the pan can catch fire if oven is used without
removing the grease from the broiler pan.
_ When broiling, if meat istoo close to the flame,
the fat mag ignite: Trim excess fat to prevent

Make sure ang broiler pan isin place correctlg
to reduce the possibilitg of grease fires.
If gou should have a grease fire in a

tl WARNING! ..........
SURFACEBURNERS -
Use proper pan size avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having fiat
bottoms large enough to cover bumer grates. To avoid spiftovers,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 spiftoversleft on range can ignite. Usepans with handles that can be
easily grasped and remain cool.
Always use the LEE position Ion electric
ignition models) or the Ht position (onstanding
pilot models) when igniting the top burners
and make sure the burners have ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at
. high flame 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
cookware. Excessiveflame 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 flames when lifting cookware. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot
holder.
_ When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
Alwags 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.-
_ Ifa combination of oils or fats wilt 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.
Usethe least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Fillingthe
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food isadded.
_Do not flame foods on the Cooktop.lfgou do
flame foods under the hood. turn the fan on.
@Do not use a wok onthe cooking surface
ifthe wok has _ round meto ring that is
placed over the burner grate to support
the wok. This ring acts as aheat 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 levelabove that allowed bg current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
@Foodsfor frying should beas dry as possible.
Froston frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
£_!Never trg to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat frger. Wait untit the fat iscool.
i® Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-
theg mag melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics awag from the surface
burners;
_To avoid the possibilitg of a burn, alwags be
certain thatthe controls for all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
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 gou smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call o qualified service technician. Never
usean open flame to locate a leak.
