SELLING DEALER WITHIN NINETY (90) DAYS FROM DATE OF ORIGINAL RETAIL PURCHASE.

workmanship in normal household use during the second through fifth year from the date of original retail

10. The flame of the surface burner should be adjusted to just cover
the bottom of the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause
scorching of adjacent countertop surfaces, as well as the outside of
the utensil. This is based on safety considerations.

11. Use dry pot holders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot
surface areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

12. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of
a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward toward
the center of the range, and so that it does not extend over
adjacent burners.

13. Surface areas near burners may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch areas near burners until
they have had sufficient time to cool.

14. Once the unit is installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions,
it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. The use
of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well-ventilated. Keep natural venting holes open or
install a mechanical
ventilation device.
Prolonged or
intensive use of the
appliance may call
for additional (such
as opening a
window) or more
effective ventilation
(such as increasing
the level of a
mechanical
ventilation if
present).

15. The flueway must also remain clear.

16. Storage cabinet area above the unit must be 36” (91.4 cm) and
cannot project more than 13” (33.0 cm) outward from the rear wall.
Beware of potential hazards associated with retrieving items from
such cabinets when the unit is in operation.

17. Keep area clean and free from combustible material, gasoline, and
other flammable liquids.

1. Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The
appliance must be installed and electrically grounded according to
local codes. Have this technician show the the location of the gas
shut-off valve on the range so you know where and how to turn off
the gas if necessary.

2. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance
unless specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician. A qualified technician
is required for any adjustments or conversions to Nat. or LP gas.

3. The “push-to-turn” knobs of this rangetop are designed to be
child-safe. However, children should not be left alone in the
kitchen while the range is in use. Do not store items of interest to
children over the unit.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN::

Children climbing to reach

items could be seriously injured.

4. GREASE is flammable and should be handled carefully. Do not
use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother
flaming pan by covering utensil completely with well-fitting lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of utensil can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam type extinguisher.

5. Never leave the surface area unattended at high heat setting.
Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spill-overs which may ignite.

6. If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust,

TTUURRNN

The draft could cause the flames to spread out of

control.

7. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the appliance.

8. Never use your rangetop for warming or heating a room. This is
based on safety considerations.

9. Use proper pan size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the burner. Using undersized utensils allows the
flame to come up the side of the utensil, scorching the outside of
the utensil and making cleanup harder.

WWAARRNNIINNGG

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage
when using the rangetop, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
