properly installed and grounded by a qualified

technician in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.= latest edition, or in Canada CAN/

CGA B149.1, and CAN/CGA B149.2, and the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.70=latest edition, or in
Canada CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical

Code, Part 1, and local code requirements. Install only
per installation instructions provided in the literature
package for this range.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and
an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the
power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in
case of an emergency.

. User Servicing--Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance unless specifically recommended in
the manuals. To reduce the risk of personal injury and
damage to the range, all other servicing should be done
only by a qualified technician.

, Never modify or alter the construction of a range by

removing leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti=tip

brackets/screws, or any other part of the product.

• All ranges can tip.

• Injury to persons could result.

• Install anti-tip device packed with range.

• See Installation Instructions.

To reduce the risk of

tipping, the range must be secured by
properly installed anti-tip bracket provided
with the range. To check if the bracket is
installed properly, grasp the top rear edge
of the range and carefully attempt to tilt it

forward. Refer to the Installation

installation.

NEVER use this appliance as a space

heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in

the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and

may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

. Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate

by blowing a downward air flow on to a range, shall not be
used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the
hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by
an independent test laboratory for use in combination with

each other.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors
or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries
and also cause damage to the range. Do not allow

children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a
child on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting

in serious burns or other injury.

Do not use the oven or broiler drawer

for storage.

Do not store items of interest to children

in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a
range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could
be seriously injured.

important Safety instructions

. Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable materials

should not be stored in an oven, near surface burners
or in the broiler drawer. This includes paper, plastic and
cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels,
as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives,

such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.

. Do Not Leave Children Alone--Children should not be

left alone or unattended in the area where appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on

any part of the appliance.

, DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE BURNERS,AREAS NEAR

THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface and oven

burners may be hot even though flames are not visible.
Areas near surface burners may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these
areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the
oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,

oven door and window.

, Wear Proper Apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.

. Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother

the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

. When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or

grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

. Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholders

on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use

a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup of

pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.

, Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is

to be stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN

. Use Care When Opening Oven Door--Stand to the side

of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot
air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in

the oven.

. Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is

located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces inthis
area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns.
Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

. Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and

grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven.
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

. Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The

broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.

Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

IMPORTANT-- Do not attempt to operate the oven during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn offthe oven. If
the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven
will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset
the clock (if equipped) and oven function.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP

Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size

so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The
use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also
improve efficiency.

* Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place

a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn
the burner off before removing the pan.

*Always turn knob to the full LITE position when

igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit.
Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the

edge of the utensil.

* Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not

Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners--To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of
the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

* Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High

Heat Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may

melt.

important Safety instructions

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP (Cont'd)

. Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line

surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

. Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking

due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.

. When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn

the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE

. Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of

grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to
the area underneath each surface element. Do not allow

grease to accumulate. Refer to the range manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.

. Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the

manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be
aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols

may ignite causing damage and injury.

Important Safety Notice

Act requires the Governor of California to publish alist of

substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses

to warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
