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.
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.
'_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

Do not leme plastic imms on the cooktop--

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

OVEN
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Thehot air and steam that escape
