property damage.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued

• Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an
open oven door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

• USER SERVICING: Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this mvner's guide. All other servicing should be done
only by a qualified technician. This will reduce the risk of personal injury and damage

to the range.

• Storage in or on appliance: Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near
surface burners or in the broiler section. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items,
such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not use the
oven for storage. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.

• Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or broiler section of this range can result
in serious injuries and cause damage to the range.

l"JlACAUTIONIThefollowing situations could cause bodily injury or property

damage.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS,
OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN . Both surface

burners and oven burners may be hot even though the flame is not visible. Areas near
surface burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had

sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop,
the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and windows.

[_GJ|'WARNIN`[ .NEVER use this appliance as aspace heater to heat or warm the

room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating
of the oven.

• Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface

burners or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.

• Never modify or alter the construction of the range. Do not remove leveling legs,
panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets or any other permanent part of the product.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to
become too hot.

• Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, baking soda
or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• Operation of Surface Burners. When the burners are operated for the first time, a small
amount of smoke may be generated due to tape residue or manufacturing lubrication.

THIS IS NOT DANGEROUS. Operate the burners for about five minutes to rid the
burners of this material before cooking.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued

• Use only dry potholders. Wet or damp potholders on hot surfaces could result in burns
from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating areas. Do not use a towel or other

bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Use proper flame size. Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame and may

result in severe burns or direct contact and ignition of clothing. Also, proper relationship
of utensil to burner will improve efficiency.

poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Refer to the
cleaning section of this manual for more information on the use of aluminum foil.

• Placement of oven racks: Always place an oven rack in the desired location while the
oven is cool. lfa rack must be moved when the oven is hot, use potholders and grasp the

rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact hot oven walls. Remove
all utensils from the rack before moving.

cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so

blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container
to burst and result in injury.

• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed. The oven vent is located along the bottom of
the backguard. Touching the surfaces in the vent area when the oven is being operated
may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the

oven vents. These items could melt or ignite.

The range requires fresh air for proper burner combustion. Do not block the flow of air
around the base or beneath the lower front panel of the range.

• Use care when opening oven door: Stand to the side of the oven when opening the
oven door. Slowly open the door to allow hot air or steam to escape before removing or

replacing food.

• Know which knob controls each burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before
turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

Always turn to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Then adjust the flame
size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface
burners. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due

to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Never leave the surface burners unattended. Boilovers may cause smoking, greasy
spillovers may catch fire or a pan which has boiled dry may melt.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued

• Do not place hands between the spring tension hinge and the oven door frame when
you are removing the oven door. You could pinch your fingers.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow
dripping fat or grease to drain find be kept away fl'om the high heat of the broiler. Do not
cover the insert with foil. Exposed fat or grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth. A hot oven light bulb could
break it touched with a damp cloth. Disconnect the electrical service cord or shut offthe
power to the oven before removing and replacing the bulb.

• Allow parts to cool to room temperature before touching or remm4ng them from the range.
When a surfiice burner is first turned off, the burner find grate are hot enough to cause burns.

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of fat or grease which could catch
fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface burner. Exhaust fan

ventilating hoods and grease filters should be clean. Do not allow flit or grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Do not use a "cyclonic" range hood with this product. Some range hoods circulate air
by blowing downward toward the range top then drawing the air back up into the hood.

This creates a "cyclonic" air wash that is designed for electric ranges only. A "cyclonic"
hood may cause the burners of a gas range to operate improperly.

• Glazed cooking utensils: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking, due to the sudden

change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.

• Do not place plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
top of the range. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons

could catch fire if place too close to the flame.

• Do not use a wok equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner.
Because this ring traps heat, the burner and grate could be damaged. Also, the burner may
not work properly, creating a carbon monoxide level above current health standards.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Flexible Connectors: If the gas range/oven is connected to a gas supply with a metal

flexible connector, move the range/oven with CAUTION for service or cleaning.
Flexible connectors are not intended for repeated bending. Do not allow cleaners to

make contact with flexible connectors.

The connector and its fittings are designed for use only on the original installation
and are not to be reused for another appliance or at another location. Connectors

must comply with ANSI Z21.24.

ENERGY-SAVING IDEAS

Surface Cooking

Use lids when surthce cooking. A lid traps steam and uses it to speed up the cooking
process. If you have a pressure cooker or vegetable steamer, use it. You'll waste fewer
vitamins, save time and cut energy costs.

Use medium-weight, flat bottomed pans that match the flame size. Choose pans made of
metals that conduct heat well.

I

I

When cooking on a surface burner, use as little water as possible to reduce cooking time.

Oven Cooking

Preheat the oven only when a recipe tells you. Put roasts and casseroles into a cold oven;
then turn on the oven.

Opening the oven door often to check on foods wastes energy.

Use the oven to prepare complete meals. For instance, start a roast, add vegetables when
the meat is half-cooked, and then warm rolls or dessert after the main dishes are cooked.

Thaw frozen foods before cooking. Thawed food requires less cooking energy than frozen
food.

Make it a habit to turn the oven off bet'ore removing the cooked food.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Be sure appliance isproperly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

It is the responsibility of the technician to make certain that your range is properly
installed. Situations caused by improper installation are not covered under the warranty.

Any expenses incurred due to such situations will not be paid by the manufacturer of the
appliance.

, WARNINGTo reduce the risk oftipping the appliance by

abnormal usage or

improper door loading, the appliance
must be secured by properly installing

the anti-tip device packed with the
appliance. To check if the device is
installed and engaged properly, carefully
tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip
device should engage and prevent the
range from tipping over.

If this range is removed for any reason,

service or cleaning, etc., it must be

replaced as outlined in the installation
instructions before placing the range

back in operation.

Leveling a Free-Standing Range

All free-standing ranges must be level to

obtain proper cooking results. The

leveling legs should be screwed into the

corner brackets, Place a pan or a
measuring cup partially filled with water
or spirit level on oven rack, Adjust
leveling legs until the range is level. The
top of the side panels should be level

with countertop or work surface.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to keep the leg
levelers. Leveling of the range is very
important.
