WARNING!

For your safety the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion,

electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of fife.

WARNINGANTI-TIPDEVICE

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the waft by installing the Anti--tip device supplied. Tocheck if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. TheAnti--tip

device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.

If you pull the rmlge out from tire wall for any reason, make sure tire device isproperly engaged

when you push the rangy back against the wall. Ifit isnot, there isa possible risk of the range

tipping over and causing injuU if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door. Please refbr m the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure m take this precaution

could result in tipping of the range and injuU.

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

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.

Gasappliances 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 a ye#ow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can beminimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan or hood. Fluorescent light bulbs and safety valves on standing pilot ranges contain mercury. If your model has

these features, they must be recycled according to local, state and federal codes.

SAFETYPRECAUtiONS

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

necessary.

Have _xmr range installed and properly gTounded by aqualified installer, in

accor, lance with the Installation Instnlctions.

Any adjusmmnt mid se_ice should be

pe_tbrmed 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 serxice should be referTed m a qualified

technician.

Ph|g your range into a 120-volt gTounded outlet only. Do not remove fire r_)t|nd gTounding prong from the plug. If in (Mubt

about the gTounding of the home electrical

system, it isyour personal responsibility and obligation to have an ung_mnded outlet replaced with a pr_)perly g_mnded, three-

prong outlet in accordance with the National

Electrical Code. Do not use an extension

co_,l with this appliance.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

I,ocate the range out of kitchen traffic path and out of (Daffy locations to prevent pilot outage (on standing pilot models) and poor

air circulation.

Be sure all packaging materials are removed fi_ml the range 1)effete operating it to prevent tire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.

Be sure your range is correctly a(!justed by a qualified sere'ice tedmician or installer f{_r the t}_)e of gas (natural or I2) that is u_ be used. Your range can be converted f{_ruse

with either t}_oe of gas. See the Installation of

the range section. WARNING: These a(!justments nmst be

made by a qualified sere'ice technician in accoi,lance with the manufacturer's

instructions and all codes and requirelnents of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to

fk_llow these instructions could result in serious in jur?_or property damage. The

qualified agency pe_tk_rming this work assumes responsibility fk_rthe conversion.

After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such b_e of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.

Do not leave children alone or unattended

where a range is hot or in operation. They

could be seriously burned.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, storage drmver, warming drms_r or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal in jur?_.

CAUTION: Items ofinterest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a

range or on the backsplash of a range- children climbing on the range m reach

items could be seriously injured.

For 3_mr safety, never use your appliance

f(_rwarming or heating the room.

Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be carefid when

reaching f{_ritems stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited ifbrought in contact with flame or hot oven

smtaces and may cause severe burns. Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range storage drawer, a warming drawer or near a cooktop.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Do not let cooking g_ease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near

the range. Do not use water on gTease tires. Never pick

up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a su_hce burner by covering the pan completely with a well- fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat uay. Use a multi-purpose dry_chemical or f0am-t}i)e fire extingafisher.

Flaming g_ease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, it available, by using a multi-purpose (h) _ chemical or fkmm-type fire extingadsher.

Flame in the oven or wanning drawer can be smothered completely by dosing the oven door or (kawer and turning the conrail to ofl or by using a multi-purpose dU chemical or f{mm-type fire extingafisher.

Let the burner gTates and other surfaces cool bef()re touching them or leaving them where

children can reach them.

Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessa U fi_r the range to operate pmpeliy with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom ofthe oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the wmming drawer, storage drawer or kick

panel.

A WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--avoid 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 onrange can ignite. Usepans with handles that can be easily grasped

and remain cooL

Always use tire LITE position (on electric

ignition models) or dre HI position (on standing pilot models) when igniting the top burners and rnal<e sure file burners have ignited. Never leave tile smtace burners unattended

Oven Light

Touch the OVENLIGHTpad on the upper

(ontrol panel to turn tile light on or off.

If the oven is in use when a power Ltilure oc(urs, tile oven burner shuts offand

cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This is becm_se the flow of gas is mm)matically

stopped and will not resume when power is restored until the glow bin has reached

operating temperature.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

The oven has a special low shelf (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cookhTgspace is needed, for example,when cooking a large turkey. Theshelf is not designed to sfide out at this position.

[] Touch the BAKEpad. [] Touch tile number pads to set tile

desired temperature.

[] Touch the STARTpad.

The word ON and 100°will be displayed. As the oven heats up, the display will show

the changing tempex>mne. When the oven reaches the temperature y{)uset, a tone will

SOtlnd.

Roasting RorA

Baking resuhs will be better if baking pans me centered in the oven as IIlllch as

possible. Pans shouM not t()uch each other or the walls of the oven. Ifyou need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one isnot

directly ab()ve the other, and leave approximately 1V/'belween pans, fiom

the fiont, back and sides r)f the wall.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with ahmfinum ti)il.

You can use ahnninum ti)il to line the

broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you nmst rooM the ti)il tightly to the grid and cut

slits in itjust like the grid.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature

change of the air in the {)yen may cruise

water droplets to finm on the door glass. These droplets are hmmless and will

evaporate as the oven continues to heat up,

Aluminumfoilmayalsobeusedtocatchaspillover

Never entirely cover a shelf with ahnninum fi)il. This willdisturb tile heat circulation

and resuh in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch

a spilh)ver by plating it on a h)wer shelf several in(hes beh)w the fi)od,

[] Follow suggested shelfposiuons in the

BroilingGuide.

[] The oven door must be closed during

broiling.

[] Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad on(e for
