WARNING!

IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE

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.

ii//i/i!ii_i_iiii/

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 a bluish rather than o ydlow flame, will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances con be minimized by venting with on open window or using o ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shuboff valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

_i:,: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.

_:_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.

;_i:,:Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded

outlet only. 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.

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select coo!<ware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To ovoid spil!overs, make sure coo!<ware 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 con ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

;_):,:Always use the LITE 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.

_t_::Adjust the top burner flame size so it does

not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

;_i:,: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.

_t_::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.

;_i:,:Carefullg watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

:_ Always heat fat slowlg, and watch as it heats. _t_:_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,

;_i:,: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.

_t_:_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.

;_i:,:Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh

foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

_t_:_Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especiallg

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

;_i:,:Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

_:_Keep all plastics away from the surface

burners.

;_i:,:To avoid the possibilitg of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position and all grates are cool

before attempting to remove them.

;_i:,:If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and create a fire hazard.

_t_::If you smell gas, turn offthe gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

;_i:,:Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

_t_::Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can

lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

_t_::When disabling Gas/Control Lockout, make

sure the surface controls are set to the OFF

position. This will preclude gas flow when the range is turned on.

Toavoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin...

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 correctly on the shelf supports (A

through E),they willstop before coming

completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware,

pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.

Upper Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear

of the range. Do not block these ducts when cooking in the oven-it is important 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 oven or broiler operation-

they may become hot.

Toremove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

Toreplace, place the end of the shelf (stop- locks)on the support, tilt upthe front and

push the shelf in.

NOTE:Theshelf isnot designedtoslide out at the speciallow shelf(R)position.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheatthe oven if the recipe callsfor it.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct

temperature. Preheatingis necessarywhen convection baking and for good resultswhen

baking cakes,cookies,pastry and breads.

Forovenswithout a preheatindicator light or tone,preheat 10 minutes.

Aluminum Foil

Donot usealuminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Neverentirely covera shelfwith aluminum

foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and

resultin poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be usedto catch a spillover by placing iton a lower shelf several

inches below the food.

Bakingresultswill be better if bakingpans

are centered in the oven as much as possible.

of the oven. If you need to usetwo shelves, stagger the pans soone isnot directly above

the other,and leaveapproximately 11/2''

between pans,from the front, back and sides

of the wall.

Oven Moisture

Asyour oven heats up,the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause

water droplets to form on the door glass.

These droplets are harmless and will

evaporate asthe oven continues to heat up.

Using the convection oven. :onsomemode/sJ

If gour model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during convection cooking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOTleave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking.

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and

around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavitg. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and

browned-often in less time than with regular heat.

Tohelp gou understand the difference between convection bake and roast and

traditional bakeand roast, hereare some general guidelines,
