items could be seriously injured.
Keep area around appliance clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors
and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper precau-
tions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing
over burners.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from
the vent might ignite flammable items and may increase
pressure in closed containers which could cause them
to bursL
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly fiammable. Avoid
their use or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away
from parts of the appliance that may become warm or
hot. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they
may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a
lighted surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited
to items which are used infrequently and which can be
safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an
appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items,
such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spread-
ing the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to
remove smoke and odor.
Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or
cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance as they could be injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils
in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out
of reach of small children. Children should be taught
that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be
allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit.
About Your Appliance
NEVER use aPpHance door, or drawer, !f equipped, as
lipping of the appliance, damage to the appliance,
and serious !nJur!es.
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the user and
damage to the appliance. Also, do not use the cooktop
or oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Restriction
of air flow to the burner prevents proper performance
and increases carbon monoxide emission to unsafe
bveb.
The oven vent is located at the base of the control panel.
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for
several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of
the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to
cause burns. After oven is turned off, do not touch the
oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
2
Otherpotentiallyhotsurfacesinclude cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent
opening, oven door, areas around the oven door and
oven window.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as
the bulb could break Should the bulb break, disconnect
power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid
ebctrbal shock
Cooking Safety
Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it
on. Be sure you know which knob controls which
surface burner. Make sure the correct burner isturned
on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is
completed, turn burner off before removing pan to
prevent exposure to burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not
extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An exces-
sive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage
the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended
especially when using a high heat setting or when deep
fat frying. Boilovers can cause smoking and greasy
spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as
possible. Do not use high heat for extended cooking
operations.
NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface
burner or in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause
container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or
damage to the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause
burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes
should never be used as potholders because they can
trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught
on appliance parts.
Always allow quantities of hot fat used for deep fat
frying cool before attempting to move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other fiammabb materials
accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan.
Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumu-
lating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the
hood turn the fan on.
NEVER wear garments made of fiammabb material or
loose fitting or Iong-sbeved apparel while cooking.
Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.
Always place oven racks in the desired positions while
oven is cool Slide oven rack out to add or remove food,
using dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching into
the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved
while hot, use a dry, sturdy potholder. Always turn the
oven off at the end of cooking.
Use racks only in the oven in which they were shipped/
purchased.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before moving or replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNUNG: Follow food
manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen food con-
tainer and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food
and its container. The food could be contaminated.
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven
bottom. This could result in risk of personal electric shock,
fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed
in this guide.
Utensi Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay cook Avoid using unstable, warped,
easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using
pans (especially small pans} with heavy handles, as they
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to
move when filled with food may also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food
and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in
deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume
of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of
faL
To minimize burns, ignition of fiammabb materials and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do
not extend handles over adjacent surface burners. Always
turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance,
not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached
by small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil
and the appliance.
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven
cooking bags.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage
without breaking due to the sudden change in tempera-
ture. Follow manufacturer's instructions when using glass.

Cmeaning Safety
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool
before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the
burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam
burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes
if applied to a hot surface.
Self-Clean Oven (select models[}
oven during the self-,clean cycle:
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door
gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the
gasket. Do not use oven cleaners of any kind in or
around any part of the self-clean oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven
racks and other utensils and wipe up excessive
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke, flare-ups or
flaming.
It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot
during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the
cooktop during a clean cycle should be avoided.
important Safety Notice and
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act of 1986 (Proposition 65} requires the Governor
of California to publish a list of substances known to the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the
burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some
of the listed substances, including benzene, formalde-
hyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combus-
tion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP} fuels. Prop-
erly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete combus-
tion. Exposure to these substances can also be mini-
mized by properly venting the burners to the outdoors.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when
the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may
be some low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by properly venting
the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/
or door in the room where the appliance is located
during the self-clean cycle.
UMPORTANT NOTUCE REGARDUNG PET BURDS:
Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where
the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a
very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during
an oven self-cbaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to
birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking off, fat,
margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be
equally harmful

It is normaHfor flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during
cHeaningif the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the
oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-
up of soil in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should bewell
ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.
Before Serf+Cleaning
1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn
out during the clean cycle.

3. Clean oven frame, door frame+area outside of gasket, and
around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive
cleaner such as Bon Ami+or detergent and water. The
self-cleaning process does not
clean these areas. They should be
cleaned to prevent soil from baking
on during the clean cycle. {The
gasket is the seal around the oven
door and window.)
4. To prevent damage, do not clean or
rub the gasket around the oven
door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the
clean cycle.
5. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom.
