installation instructions.

• Any adjustment and service should be performed only by

a qualified gas range installer or service technician. Do

not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range

unless it is specifically recommended in this manual.

• Your range is shipped from the factory set for use with
natural gas. It can be converted for use with propane

gas. If required, these adjustments must be made by a
qualified technician in accordance with the installation

instructions and local codes. The agency performing
this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

• Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

CAUTION

•
children in cabinets above an oven - children climbing
on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They
provide the air inlets and outlets that are necessary for
the range to operate properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at
the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom
of the range under the warming drawer, lower oven
drawer or kick panel.

• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not
let pot holders touch surface burners, burner grate, or
oven heating element. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth in place of pot holders.

• Do not touch the heating elements or the interior
surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot
enough to burn even though they are dark in color.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or

other flammable materials contact any interior area of
the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other

surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough
to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the
burners, grates, oven vent opening, surfaces near the
opening, and crevices around the oven door.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could
build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

• Cook food thoroughly to help protect against
foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature
recommendations can be found at
www.IsItDoneYet.gov and www.fsis.usda.gov. Use
a food thermometer to take food temperatures and
check several locations.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven
door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range
or tip it over causing severe injury or death.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

• Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or
near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders,
linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or

other flammable vapors and liquids.

WARNING

KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE

Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PREVENT

INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING

•

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming

pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a

surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-

fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

• If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the
fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they
contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or
on the cooktop may ignite.

• If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the
oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force
the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean

temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the

oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
severe burns.

WARNING

• Never leave the surface burners unattended. Foods,

especially oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that

could spread to surrounding cabinets.

• Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting

in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a

deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.

• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use the minimum amount
of oil when using a shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking
frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.

• Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or
easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the

size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so

that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

Excessive flame may be hazardous.

• Always use the LITE position when igniting the top
burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is
suitable for cooktop service; others may break because
of sudden change in temperature.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a

container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby burners.

• Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. The
ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting
in a carbon monoxide hazard.

• Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may
damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting

in a gas leak and risk of fire.

• Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line
any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop

surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.
