INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.
Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the oven. If any glue remains, touch
the residue with the sticky side of the tape already removed, or use a cloth soaked with
rubbing alcohol. Use caution because rubbing alcohol is flammable. Rinse with warm
water and wipe dry.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the range is unpacked. Children should not
use packaging material for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets
can become air-tight chambers. Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause
severe cuts and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
Be safety conscious. The preparation of food in an oven requires temperatures that could cause
severe burns. Before using this new appliance, carefully read and follow all instructions.
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. In addition, businesses must warn customers of potential exposure 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 formaldehyde, benzene, soot and carbon
monoxide. This is caused primarily from the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuel.
Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these
substances can also be minimized by properly venting the burners by opening a window or
using a ventilating hood or fan.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued
• Do not place hands between the spring tension hinge and the oven door frame when
you are removing the oven door.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow
dripping fat or grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not
cover the insert with foil. Exposed fat or grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth. A hot oven light bulb could
•
break it touched with a damp cloth. Disconnect the electrical service cord or shut off the
power to the oven before removing and replacing the bulb.
Allow parts to cool to room temperature before touching or removing them from the range.
•
When a surface burner is first turned off, the burner and grate are hot enough to cause burns.
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of fat or grease which could catchfire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface burner. Exhaust fan
ventilating hoods and grease filters should be clean. Do not allow fat or grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Do not use a “cyclonic” range hood with this product. Some range hoods circulate air

could catch fire if place too close to the flame.
• Do not use a wok equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner.
Because this ring traps heat, the burner and grate could be damaged. Also, the burner may
not work properly, creating a carbon monoxide level above current health standards.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Flexible Connectors: If the gas range/oven is connected to a gas supply with a metal
flexible connector, move the range/oven with CAUTION for service or cleaning.

WARNING
!
• It’s good practice for each household to have an appropriate fire extinguisher for
use in the event of a house fire.
• Disconnect the range from electrical supply before attempting to service or move it.
NOTE: The instructions appearing in this owner’s guide are not meant to cover every
possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must be
practiced when operating and maintaining any appliance.
On sealed burner models never attempt to operate the surface
burners without the cooktop, burner caps, and ignition wires firmly
in place. There is a risk of fire and/or explosion which could result in
personal injury or property loss.
ENERGY-SAVING IDEAS
Surface Cooking
Use lids when surface cooking. A lid traps steam and uses it to speed up the cooking
process. If you have a pressure cooker or vegetable steamer, use it. You’ll waste fewer
vitamins, save time and cut energy costs.
Use medium-weight, flat bottomed pans that match the flame size. Choose pans made of
metals that conduct heat well.
When cooking on a surface burner, use as little water as possible to reduce cooking time.
Oven Cooking
Preheat the oven only when a recipe tells you. Put roasts and casseroles into a cold oven;
then turn on the oven.
Opening the oven door often to check on foods wastes energy.
Use the oven to prepare complete meals. For instance, start a roast, add vegetables when
the meat is half-cooked, and then warm rolls or dessert after the main dishes are cooked.
Thaw frozen foods before cooking. Thawed food requires less cooking energy than frozen
food.
Make it a habit to turn the oven off before removing the cooked food.
