Warnings
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.
• Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other fl ammable
vapors and materials.
• If appliance is installed near a window, proper
precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from
blowing over burners.
• NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air
from the vent may ignite fl ammable 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 fl ammable. 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.
DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods. DO NOT leave
oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads,
mushrooms, etc; fi re hazard.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid
spreading the fl ame. Extinguish fl ame then turn on hood
to remove smoke and odor.
• Cooktop: Smother fi re or fl ame in a pan with a lid or
cookie sheet.
• NEVER pick up or move a fl aming pan.
• Oven: Smother fi re or fl ame by closing the oven door.
DO NOT use water on grease fi res. Use baking soda, a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fi re
or fl ame.
• GREASE–Grease is fl ammable and should be handled
carefully. DO NOT use water on grease fi res. Flaming
grease can be extinguished with baking soda or, if
available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type
extinguisher. Let fat cool before attempting to handle
it. DO NOT allow grease to collect around the oven or
in vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.
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.
• 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.
• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before
turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls
which surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is
turned on and that the burner has ignited. When
cooking is completed, turn burner off before removing
pan to prevent exposure to burner fl ame.
• ALWAYS adjust surface burner fl ame so that it does
not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An
excessive fl ame is hazardous, wastes energy 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. Dishtowels or other
substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders
because they can trail across hot surface burners and
ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat
frying cool before attempting to move or handle.
• DO NO
materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood
or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent grease
from accumulating on hood or fi lter. When fl aming
foods under the hood, turn the fan off .
• NEVER wear garments made of fl ammable material or
loose fi tting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking.
Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles. DO NOT
drape towels or materials on oven door handles. These
items could ignite and cause burns.

Cooking Safety (cont.)
• ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions
while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or
GETTING STARTED
remove food, using dry, sturdy potholders. ALWAYS
avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food.
If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry
potholder.
• 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, fi re,
or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed
in this guide.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING:
Follow food manufacturer’s instructions. If a 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 “fl aming” liquor or other spirits under an
exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the
fl ames 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 eff ective ventilation (such as increasing the level
of a mechanical ventilation if present).
Utensil Safety
• Use pans with fl at 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 fi lled 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 fl ammable 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.
• This appliance has been tested for safe performance
using conventional cookware. DO NOT use any devices
or accessories that are not specifi cally 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 fl ame 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 fl ammable materials contact heating
elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had suffi cient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause
burns, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near
the vent opening, and the oven door window.
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
suffi cient 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.
• DO NOT clean door gasket. It is essential for a good
tight seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
Cleaning Safety (cont.)
• No oven liner protective coating such as aluminum foil
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Improper oven liners may result in a risk of electric
shock or fi re. Keep oven free from grease buildup.
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 due to
overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated
non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.
About Your Appliance
WARNING
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 suffi cient 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.
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range
is aff ected 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 aff ect
range operation, depending on how severe the power
loss is.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
DO NOT touch a hot oven light bulb with
a damp cloth as the bulb could break.
Should the bulb break, disconnect
electric power to the appliance at the main fuse or
circuit breaker before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
WARNING
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 fl ow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a
fi re hazard.
WARNING
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
WARNING
Note: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside
the oven. Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous
fumes or can damage the fi nish. DO NOT line the oven
with aluminum foil or other materials. These items can
melt or burn causing permanent damage to the oven.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD
The oven door, especially the glass, can
get hot. Danger of burning: DO NOT
touch the glass!

Warnings Before Using Range/Features
CAUTION
GETTING STARTED
GETTING STARTED
To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow
defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than
two hours.
CAUTION
You must carefully check the food during the
dehydration process to ensure that it does not
catch fi re.
CAUTION
DO NOT store items of interest to children over
the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be
seriously injured.
