WARNING!

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 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 # off if necessary.

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having fiat bottoms

large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spi//overs, 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 spi/Iovers left on range can ignite. Usepans wi£hhandles that can be easily grasped

and remain cool,

Always use the LITE position when igniting

file top burners and make sure the humers
hme ignited.

Nexer leave flae surtace burners unattended

at higta flame setdng:s. Boilox_rs cause
smoking and greasy spillox>rs that may

cawh on fire.

Adjust the top burner flame size so it
does not exmnd hevond tim edge of the

cookwaie. Excessixe flame is hazardous.

Use only d U pot holders--moist or damp
pot holders on hot snrfaces may result in
hums from smam. Do not let pot holders

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

bulky cloth in place of a pot holden

XA]ten using glass cookware, make snle it

To minimize the possihility of hut]Is,

_&]aen flaming foods are under dae hood,
Urea tim ]Banoff. The ]Ban,if operating, may

spread the flames.

Do not use a wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed ox_r the burner gTate to support

the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap,
which m W damag> dae humer grate, and

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

foods can cause hot ]Batto hubble up and
ox>i the sides of the pan.

Never try to move a pan of hot ]Bat,especially

a deep fat flTer _'ait until the fat is cool.

Do not leave plastic imms on the cooktop--

Careflllly watch tbods heing flied at a high

Always heat flit slowly, and watch as it heats.

Do not leme any imms on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent m W ignim flammable

imms and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause fltem to hnrst.

If a comhinadon of oils or ]Batswill be used in

Use flae least possible amount of ]Batfor

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

at the OFF position and all grates are cool
before attenlpting to remove flaem.

If rang> is located near a windo_, do not

hang long curtains that could hlow ox_t rite

If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Ne_>r
use an open flame to locam a leak.

Alwws turn the sur]Bace burner conuols off
