Cooking Safety
Getting Started
• 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.
• NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could
result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only
as directed in this guide.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING:
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
• If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE
FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.
• Once the unit has been 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

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 rangetop surface or oven usage without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when
using glass.
Utensil Safety
• 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 add-on 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.
• The flame of the burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of the
pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause scorching of adjacent
counter-top surfaces, as well as the outside of the utensil. This is based on
safety considerations.
Heating Elements
• NEVER touch oven bake and broil burner areas or interior surfaces of oven.
• Bake and broil burners may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas
near burners and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to
cause burns.

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 when the oven is
engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low-level exposure to some
of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors by
openingthe windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is located
duringthe self-clean cycle.
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
.
• Other potentially hot surfaces include rangetop, areas facing the rangetop,
oven vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven door, areas around the oven
door and oven window.
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting, or leaning on them) can result
in potential hazards and/or injuries.
Power Failure
POWER FAILURE WARNING
Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal injury in
attempting to light and extinguish the burner, the grill should, not under
any circumstances, be used during a power failure. The grill burner
control should always remain in the “OFF” position during a power failure.
If power failure occurs, the electric ignitors will not work. No attempt
should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure. Make
sure the oven control is in the “OFF” position.
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only
when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will
function properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not
affect range operation, depending on how severe the power loss is. If the
range is in the self-clean cycle when the power failure occurs, wait until
power is restored and allow door to unlock automatically. Turn all controls
off and restart self-clean cycle again, according to instructions.
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 rangetop or oven as a storage area for food or cooking
utensils.
• For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT block or obstruct the
oven vent duct located on the right side of the air grille.
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after
oven is turned off. When the oven is in use, 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.

Getting Started
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 posioning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazord.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit
breaker before replacing bulb.
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before
cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical
shock.
To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to
remain in the oven for more than two hours.
This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven
reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and deposits.
A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion
of the self-clean cycle.
NOTE: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven. Use
of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage the
porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with aluminum foil or other
materials. These items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,
causing permanent damage to the oven.
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after
self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some parts become
extremely hot to the touch!
During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there
may be some odor and smoking from the “curing” of the binder in
the high-density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is
thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent
self-cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high
temperatures.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING THE SELFCLEAN CYCLE.
DO NOT turn the Temperature Control on during defrosting. Turning
the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food
without the heat.
BURN HAZARD
The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot. Danger
of burning: DO NOT touch the glass!
12
You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to
ensure that it does not catch fire.
BURN HAZARD
When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual,
therefore, children should be kept away.
DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children
climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.
