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 tofour 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.

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 burners
hme ignited.

Nexer leave fl_e sur]Bace burners unattended

at higt_ flame setdng:s. Boiloxers cause
smoking and greasy spilloxers that may

catch on fire.

Adjust the 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
bums from steam. Do not let pot holders

come near open flames when lifting

cookware. Do not use a towel oi" other

bulky c]ofll in place of a pot holder.

XA]mn using gtass cookware, make sure it

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

ignition of flammable materials and spillage,

turn cookware handles toward the side or

back of fl_e range without extending oxer

adjacent burners.

'_A'hei1 flaming foods are under d_e hood,

Um_ the ]Ban off. 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 oxer the bm_er gTate to support

the wok. This Iing acts as a heat trap,
which may damage file burner grate and

burner head. Also, it may cause fl_e burner

to work improperly. This may cause a
carhon monoxide lexel aboxe that

allowed by CUlTent standards, resulting
in a health hazard.

Foods for fiTing should be as dU as possible.
Frost on fiozen foods or moisture on flesh

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

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

a deep fat flTer _A'aituntil the fat is cool.

Do not leme plastic imms on the cooktop--

flley m W meh if left too close to file xent.

Kee I) all plastics aw W flom the sur]Bace

burners.

Careflllly watch tbods being flied at a high

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

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

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

If a combinaoon of oils or fiatswill be used in
flTing, stir together befoie heating or as fats

meh slowly

Use a deep fat thermometer whene\er
possible to prexent ovedleadng fiat beyond

the smoking point.

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

the pan too dill of ]Batcan cause spillovers

when food is added.

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

at the OFF position and all grates are cool
before attenlpting to remo\e diem.

If range is located near a windo_, do not

hang long curtains that could blow oxer file

surface burners and cream a die hazard.

If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the 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. I,ifting the cooktop can lead

to damage and improper operation of

the range.

COOKMEATANDPOULTRYTHOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at leastan 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 a hot oven. Thehot 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 ignim. Trim excess {_t to
