To Prevent Fire or
Smoke Damage
Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window,
proper precautions should be taken to
prevent curtains from blowing over burners.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop.
The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in
closed containers which may cause them
to burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be
highly flammable. 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 are 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.
Child Safety
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.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets above an appliance or on backguard of a range. Children
climbing on the appliance door to reach
items could be seriously injured.
About Your
Appliance
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 levels.
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.
Other potentially hot surfaces include
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven
door and areas around door and window.
WARNING: NEVER use appliance door,
or drawer, if equipped, as a step stool or
seat as this may result in possible tipping
of the appliance, damage to the appliance,
and serious injuries.
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
electrical 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 is turned 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 excessive 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 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 pot holders. Damp pot
holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should
never be used as pot holders because they
can trail across hot surface burners and
ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for
deep fat frying cool before attempting to
move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the
appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood
frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming
foods under the hood turn the fan on.
NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or longsleeved 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 pot holders. Always avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If
a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry
pot holder. Always turn the oven off at the
end of cooking.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before moving or
replacing food.

PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow
food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food container 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 an
oven rack or oven bottom. Misuse could
result in risk of electric shock, fire, or
damage to the appliance. Use foil only as
directed in this guide.
Utensil Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles
that are easily grasped and stay cool. 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 fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
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 temperature.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions when
using glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended
in this guide. Do not use eyelid covers for
the surface units, stovetop grills, or addon oven convection systems. The use of
devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can
create serious safety hazards, result in
performance problems, and reduce the
life of the components of the appliance.
Cleaning 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

Important Safety
Notice and
Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement 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 lowlevel exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can also be
minimized by properly venting the burners to the outdoors.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS: 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-cleaning cycle
may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil,
fat, margarine and overheated non-stick
cookware may be equally harmful.

12,000 BTU*
Burner Grates
The grates must be properly positioned
before cooking. Improper installation of
the grates may result in chipping of the
cooktop.
Do not operate the burners without a
pan on the grate.
The grate’s porcelain finish
may chip without a pan to
absorb the heat from the
burner flame.
Although the burner grates
are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/or
discolor, due to the high temperatures of the gas flame.
NOTES . . .
•
A properly adjusted burner with clean
ports will light within a few seconds.
If using natural gas the flame will be
blue with a deeper blue inner cone.
If the burner flame is yellow or is
noisy the air/gas mixture may be
incorrect. Contact a service technician to adjust. (Adjustments are not
covered by the warranty.)
With LP gas, some yellow tips on the
flames are acceptable. This is normal
and adjustment is not necessary.
•
With some types of gas, you may
hear a “popping” sound when the
surface burner is turned off. This is a
normal operating sound of the burner.
•
If the control knob is turned very
quickly from HIGH to LOW, the flame
may go out, particularly if the burner is
cold. If this occurs, turn the knob to
the Off position, wait several seconds
and relight the burner.
•
The flame should be adjusted so it
does not extend beyond the edge of
the pan.
