flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may
cause them to burst.
• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and
may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the
appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on
the rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a
lighted surface burner.
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items
may become hot and cause burns.

Child Safety
• NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in
use or is still hot.
• NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they
could be injured or burned.
• DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Child Safety (cont.)
• Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot.
Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children.
Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not
be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.
Cooking Safety
• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet
storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided,
it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are
safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance. Temperatures
may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or
aerosol sprays.

and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
This is based on safety considerations.
• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using
a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible.
DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.
• DO NOT heat unopened food containers, build up of pressure may cause
the container to explode and result in injury.
• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam.

• 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
(such as increasing the level of a mechanical ventilation if present).

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.
Utensil Safety
• 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.
• 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.
During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or other flammable

Cleaning Safety
• Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or
cleaning them. DO NOT touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
• Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Important notice regarding pet birds:
Getting Started
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 due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated nonstick cookware may be harmful.
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.
• 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
If power failure occurs, the electric igniters 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.
Warnings
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
DO NOT
bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power
to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock.
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.
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.

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.

To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to
remain in the oven for more than two hours.
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.
