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 1)y a qualified installer, in

accordance with the Installation Insuucfions.

Any adjustment and service should be performed only 1)yqualified gas rang_

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 refened to a qna]ified

technician,

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 lefl on range can ignite. Usepans with handles that can be easily grasped

and remain cool

Always use the LITE position when igniting

file top burners and make sure the burners hme ignited.

Ne\er leave fl_e stnface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boiloxers cause smoking and greasy spilloxers that may

catch on fire,

Adjust tile top burner flame size so it does not exmnd beyond the edge of the

cookwaie. Excessixe flame is hazardous.

Use only dU pot holders--moist or damp pot holders on hot snrfaces may resnlt in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders

come near open flames when lifting

cookware. Do not use a towel oi" other

bn]kv c]ofll in place of a pot holdel:

X&]mn using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for top-of-range cooking. To minimize tile possibility of bums,

igniuon of flammable materials and spillage,

turn cookware handles toward the side or

back of fl)e range without exmnding oxer

adjacent burners.

'_&'henflaming foods are under d_e hood,

Um_ the ]Ban off. Tile ]Ban, if operating, may

spread tile flames.

Do not use a wok on the cooking surface

if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed oxer tile burner gTam to support

the wok. This i-],_g acts as a heat trap,

which m W damage die burner grate, and burner head. Also, it m W cause fl_e burner

to work impiopefl> This may cause a

carhon monoxide lexel aboxe that

allowed by current standards, iesnlfing

in a heahh hazard.

Foods for ruing should be as d U as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on flesh

foods can cause hot ]Batto bubble up and oxer tile sides of tile pan.

Ne_er try to mo_e a pan of hot ]Bat,especially

a deep fat flTer _'ait until tile fat is cool. Do not leme plastic imms on tile cooktop--

flley m W meh if left too close to file xent. Kee I) all plastics aw W from tile sur]Bace

burners.

Careflllly watch tbods being flied at a high

flame setting. Always heat tilt slowly, and watch as it heats.

Do not leme any imms on the cooktop. Tile hot air from tile xent m W ignim flammable

imms and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause diem to burst.

If a combination of oils or fiats will be used in flTing, sdr together before heating or as fats

meh slowly

Use a deep fat thern/omemr whene\er possible to prexent oveflleadng fiat beyond

tile smoking point.

Use fl)e least possible amount of ]Batfor effective shallow or deep-fat flTing. Filling

the pan too fllll of ]Batcan cause spillovers

when food is added.

To ax_id the possibility of a hurn, always be certain that tile controls for all burners are

at the OFF position and all grates are cool

before attempting to remo\e fllem.

If range is located near a windo_, do not

hang long curtains that could blow oxer file surface bni_ners and create a fire hazard.

If you smell gas, turn off the gas to tile range and call a qualified service technician. Ne_er

use an open flame to locam a leak. Alwws turn the sur]Bace burner conuols off

before removing cookware.

Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner

models. Lifting the cooktop can lead

to damage and improper operation of tile range.

COOKMEATANDPOULTRYTHOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an INTERNALtemperature of 16001:and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°ECooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodbome illness.

OVEN

Stand away from the range when opening the door of ahot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can cause bums to hands, face and eyes.

Do not use tim oven for a storage area.

Imms stored in the oxen can ignim. Kee I) the oven free flom glease buildup.

Place the oxen shehes in the desired

position while the oxen is cool.

Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a

comenience in lifting heaxy' foods. It is also

a p_ecaufion agvdnst bu_s flom touching hot surfaces of file door or oxen walls. The

lowest position is not designed to slide.

Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an i[_nl-y.

WARNING:NEVERcover

any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or coxer an entire rack with

materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow througil the oxen and

m W cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Aluminum foil linings may also trap

heat, causing a fire hazard.

Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the

oxen except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or

damage to the range.

XA]len using cooking or roasting bags in the oxen, follow the manufacturer's directions.

Do not use your oxen to dlT newspapers. If oxerheated, they can catch fire.

Use only glass cool<ware fllat is

recommended for use in gv_soxens. Always remoxe the broiler pan flom range

as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in

the pan can catch fire if oxen is used without

removing the grease flom the broiler pan.

When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the fi_t may ig_im. Trim excess {_t to

prexent excessive flareqlps. Make sine the broiler pan is in place

con_ecflv m ieduce the possibility of g_ease fires.

If you should haxe a grease fi_e in the broiler pan, much the CLEAR/OFFpad,and kee I)

change ot the air in the ()veil inay cause

water droplets to titan on the door glass.

These droplets are haimless and will e\;q)oi'ate as tile ()veil contintles to heat tip.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in tile oven as Ill rich _lS

possible. Pans should not touch each other or the wails ot the ()veil. If you need to use

two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not diIecflv above tile other, and leave

appro_niately 1K/' between I)_lllS,fl'Olll the fl'ont, back and sides of the wall.

_uininunl fl)il nIav also be used to catch

a spillover. To do so, place a sinall sheet of foil on a lower shelf several inches below

tile food. Never entirely cover a shelf with ahuninuni

flfil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.
