WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement 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 yeflow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

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

;_;Hate your rang_ installed and properly ;_;Plug your rang_ into a 190_\_lt grounded

grounded by a qualified installer, in

accordance with the Installation Insuucdons.

Any adjustment and service should be perfo,_ned only by qualified gas rang>

installers or service technicians.

_:;i_'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 refetTed to a qna]ified

about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and

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. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain

the food properly. This will both save cleaning time andprevent hazardous accumulations of food, since

heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Usepans with handles that can be easily grasped

and remain cool

_t{_;Always use tile LITE position when igniting

file top burners and make sure the burners hme ignited.

;_i:,:Nexer leave file sur/_ace burners/mattended

at high flame setfing:s. Boiloxers cause smoking and greasy spilloxers that may

catch on fire,

q]_Adjust tile top burner flame size so it

does not exmnd hevond tile edge of tile cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

_i:,iUse only dU pot holders--moist or damp

pot holders on hot snrfaces may result ill bln_ls from smam. Do not let pot holders

come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other

1)ulky cloth in place of a pot holden

;_?:':_4]mn using glass cookware, make sure it

q_{_If range is located near a windo_, do not

hang long curtains that could hlow oxer file surface burners and create a fire hazard.

_fi:,:If you smell gas, ulrn off the gas to die range
