Important Safety Instructions
Gas ranges have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with any appliance, there are specific installation and safety precautions which must be followed to ensure safe and satisfactory operation.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:
. FOR YOUR SAFETY.
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN CREATE A FIRE
HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.
. FOR YOUR SAFETY .
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. OPEN WINDOWS.
2. DON’T TOUCH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES.
3. EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAMES.
4. IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR GAS SUPPLIER.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT, ALTERATION, SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE CAN CAUSE INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. REFER TO THIS MANUAL. FOR ASSISTANCE OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONSULT A QUALIFIED INSTALLER, SERVICE AGENCY, MANUFACTURER (DEALER) OR THE GAS SUPPLIER.
. IMPORTANT . TO THE INSTALLER: PLEASE LEAVE THIS INSTRUCTION BOOK WITH THE UNIT. TO THE CONSUMER: PLEASE READ AND KEEP THIS BOOK FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
1. Install or locate the range only in accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. It is
recommended that the range be installed by a qualified installer. The range must be properly connected to
the proper gas supply and checked for leaks. If needed, the range must
also be properly connected to electrical supply and grounded.
2. To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance, the appliance must secured by properly installed anti-tip bracket(s). To check if the bracket(s) is installed properly, shine a flashlight under range toward rear corners and verify that the anti-tip bracket(s) is engaged. See Installation Instructions for further details.
3. Gas fuels and combustion can result in potential exposure to chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm. For example, benzene is a chemical which is a part of the gas supplied to the range. It is consumed in the flame during combustion. However, exposure to a small amount of benzene is possible if a gas leak occurs. Formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and soot are by-products of incomplete combustion. Properly
3ge 2
be
adjusted burners with a bluish rather than a yellow flame will minimize incomplete combustion.
4. DO NOT operate the range if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged.
5. DO NOT use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.
6. Use the range only for its intended use as described in this manual.
7. DO NOT wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch a surface burner and you could be burned.
8. DO NOT touch surface burners, areas near burners or interior surfaces of oven. Areas near surface burners and interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During use, DO NOT touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface burners, areas near surface burners or interior surfaces of oven. Other surfaces of the range may become hot enough to cause bums; such as, the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the cooktop, the oven door and window.
9. Make sure the utensils you use are large enough to contain food and avoid boil-overs and spi&overs. Heavy splattering or spill-overs left on a range can ignite and bum you. Pan size is especially important in deep fat frying.
10. Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface burners. This will help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan.
11. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on surface burners may result in burns from steam. DO NOT let potholder touch surface burners. DO NOT use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. They could catch on fire.
12. Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the cooktop. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
13. DO NOT use decorative covers or trivets over the surface burners.
14. DO NOT heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.

16. DO NOT use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on range by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie

Using the surface burners

Your range is equipped with either standing pilots or electronic ignitors. Standing pilots must be lit initially with a match following the directions on page
5. The pilot light will remain lit when the burners are turned off. To turn a burner on again, just push in and turn the control knob to LITE and the burner will light. Electronic ignitors automatically light the burners each time the control knob is turned to LITE.

Control knobs must be pushed in,
then turned to the LITE position. On electronic ignitor models, the clicking sound is the ignitor sparking.
After the burner lights, turn the control knob back to a desired setting. The control knob can be set anywhere between HI and low setting.
Surface burner indicators
The solid dot in the surface burner indicator shows which surface burner is turned on by that knob.
Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide.
For best results, start cooking at the high settings, then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.
Use LITE
to light the burner. After the burner lights, turn control back to a desired setting.
Use a high setting
to start food cooking;
to bring liquids to a boil.
Use a medium setting
to continue cooking or to fry chicken or pancakes; for gravy, puddings and icing; to cook large amounts of vegetables.
Use a low setting
to keep food warm
until ready to serve.
NOTE:
Do not cook with the control in
the LITE position.
In case failure

a prolonged power
Surface burners with electronic ignitors can be manually lighted. Hold a lit match near a burner and slowly turn the control knob on until the burner lights. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to
the desired setting. Power failures will not affect standing pilots.
Bum, Fire And Explosion Hazard
. Burner flame should not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. The flame can bum you and cause poor cooking results.
. Be sure all control knobs are
turned to OFF when you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a
burner is accidentally left ON.
. If the flame should go out while
cooking, or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five minutes for the gas odor to disappear, before relighting burner. If gas odor is still present, see safety note on page 2. Failure to follow these precautions could result in explosion or fire.
. Do not attempt to light the oven
burner during a power failure. Personal injury could result.
