IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm.

• The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-cleaning generates some by-products which are on the list.

• The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.

• To minimize exposure to these substances always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation to the room during and immediately after self-cleaning the oven.

• Do not use water on a grease fire. Smother fire or flame or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to an authorized servicer.

• In the event that personal clothing catches fire, DROP AND ROLL IMMEDIATELY to extinguish flames.

• As a precaution, it is highly recommended that a fire extinguisher be readily available and highly visible next to any cooking appliance.

SAFETY FOR ALL APPLIANCES

• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions contact the manufacturer.

• Be sure the range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

• Never use the oven or cooktop to warm or heat a room. Also such use can damage the cooktop or oven parts.

• Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• Do not store flammable materials on or near the cooktop or in the oven.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE APPLIANCE, IT MUST BE SECURED BY A PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICE. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICE IS INSTALLED PROPERLY, REMOVE THE STORAGE DRAWER/KICK PANEL BELOW THE OVEN DOOR AND VERIFY THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE IS ENGAGED PER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

SAFETY FOR THE COOKTOP

• Do not touch the cooktop or the area immediately surrounding it. Areas near the cooktop may become hot enough to cause burns.

• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact an authorized servicer immediately.

• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Use the proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with elements of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of a utensil smaller than the size of the element will expose a portion of the element to direct contact with the user which could result in burns. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve cooking efficiency.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop or oven. Improper use of these liners could result in an electric shock or fire. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to the unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned inward. Make sure the handle does not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas or the edge of the cooktop.

• Flat cookware will provide better stability on the cooktop and ensure the best performance.

• Never leave the cooktop unattended at high heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

SAFETY FOR THE OVEN

• Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of oven. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns.

• The trim on the top and sides of the oven door of the range may become hot enough to cause burns.

• Use care when opening the door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

• Do not block the oven vent ducts (located along the top of the backsplash, back trim, or cooktop).

SAFETY FOR THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN

• Do not clean the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket.

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven liner protective coatings of any kind in or around any part of the oven.

• Clean only the parts of the oven listed in this manual.

• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, oven racks, other utensils and excess spillage.

• Do not leave food or cooking utensils etc., in oven during the self-cleaning mode of operation.

• Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the hot heating elements

• If F-1 or F-3 flashes in the display, follow instructions in “Solving Operational Problems.”

SAFETY FOR THE VENTILATING HOOD

• Clean the hood above the range or the intake at the back of the range frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood/intake or the filters.

• When flaming foods, turn the hood/intake fan ON.

WARNING: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the range or at the back of it. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

208 VOLT CONNECTIONS

When using this oven on 120/208 volts, preheating times will be longer. The oven is preheated when the temperature display reaches the selected temperature.

When using Broil it is recommended to preheat. Preheat the broil element with the door open to the Broil Stop for 4 to 5 minutes or until the top element is red. Do not preheat with the broil pan in the oven.

When using the cooktop, use the same recommended heat settings, but allow a little extra time to finish cooking the food.
