READ ALL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THE APPLIANCE.

If you smell gas

• Open windows

• Don’t touch electrical switches

• Extinguish any open flame

• Immediately call your gas supplier

FOR YOU SAFETY

• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials gasoline and other

flammable vapors and liquids.

Warnings

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 airtight 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.

USER SERVICING: Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this owner’s guide. Only a qualified technician

should do all other servicing. This will reduce the risk of personal injury and damage
to the range.

Storage in or on appliance: Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven,
near surface burners or in the broiler section. This includes paper, plastic and cloth
items, such as cookbooks, plastic ware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do
not use the oven for storage. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or
near the range.

Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or
discarded.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or broiler section of this range can
result in serious injuries and cause damage to the range.

The following situations could cause bodily injury or property
damage.

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE
BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE
OVEN. Both surface burners and oven burners may be hot even though the flame

is 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 range, surfaces facing the range, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven door and windows.

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm
the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and

overheating of the oven.

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
surface burners or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to
cool.

Never modify or alter the construction of the range. Do not remove leveling
legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets or any other permanent part of the
product.

When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if
allowed to become too hot.

Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, baking
soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Operation of the Surface Burners. When the burners are operated for the first
time, a small amount of smoke may be generated due to tape residue or
manufacturing lubrication, this is not dangerous. Operate the burners for about
five minutes to rid the burners of this material before cooking.

Use only dry potholders. Wet or damp potholders on hot surfaces could result in burns
from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating areas. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

Use proper flame size. Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the burner flame and
may result in severe burns or direct contact and ignition of clothing. Also, proper
relationship of cookware to burner will improve efficiency.

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 air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Refer to the
cleaning section of this manual for more information on the use of aluminum foil.

Placement of oven racks: Always place an oven rack in the desired location while
the oven is cool. If a rack must be moved when the oven is hot, use potholders and

grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact hot oven
walls. Remove all cookware from the rack before moving.

Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container
to burst and result in injury.

Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed. The oven vent is located along the bottom of
the back guard. Touching the surfaces in the vent area when the oven is being operated
may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the
oven vents. These items could melt or ignite. The range requires fresh air for proper
burner combustion. Do not block the flow of air around the base or beneath the lower
front panel of the range.

Use care when opening oven door: Stand to the side of the oven when opening the
oven door. Slowly open the door to allow hot air or steam to escape before removing or
replacing food.

Know which knob controls each burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before

turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan. Always turn to the full

5

UNIQUE UGP20G

position when igniting top burners. Then adjust the flame size so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware.

Cookware 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 cookware, the handle of a cookware should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

Never leave the surface burners unattended. Boilovers may cause smoking, greasy
spill-overs may catch fire or a pan which has boiled dry may melt.

Do not place hands between the spring tension hinge and the oven door frame
when you are removing the oven door. You could pinch your fingers.

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.

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 catch
fire. 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 by blowing downward toward the range top then drawing the air back up into the
hood. This creates a “cyclonic” air wash that is designed for electric ranges only. A
“cyclonic” hood may cause the burners of a gas range to operate improperly.

Glazed cookware: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed cookware are suitable for rangetop service without breaking, due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for rangetop
use.

Do not place plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on top of the range. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden

spoons could catch fire if placed 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.

Flexible connectors are not intended for repeated bending. Do not allow cleaners
to make contact with flexible connectors.

The connector and its fittings are designed for use only on the original installation
and are not to be reused for another appliance or at another location. Connectors
must comply with ANSI Z21.24.

It’s good practice for each household to have an appropriate fire extinguisher for
use in the event of a house fire.

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.
