Important Safety Instructions
Continued
l
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. The range
must also be properly connected to
electrical supply and grounded.
l
To reduce the risk of tipping of the
appliance, the appliance must be
secured by properly installed antitip bracket(s). To check if the
bracket(s) is installed properly,
remove the storage drawer (see
page 17) and verify that the anti-tip
bracket(s) is engaged.
l
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
adjusted burners with a bluish
rather than a yellow flame will
minimize incomplete combustion.
l
Do not operate the range if it is not
working properly, or if it has been
damaged.
l
Do not use the range for warming
or heating the room. Persons could
be burned or injured, or a fire could
start,
l
Use the range only for its intended
use as described in this manual.
4
9 Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a hot
surface burner and you could be
burned.
. 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 burns; such as, the oven
vent opening, the surface near the
vent opening, the cooktop, the oven
door and window.
l
Make sure the utensils you use are
large enough to contain food and
avoid boil-overs and spill-overs.
Heavy splattering or spill-overs left
on a range can ignite and burn you.
Pan size is especially important in
deep fat frying.
l
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.
l
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.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
range. Only certain types of glass,
glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are
suitable for ranges without breaking
due to the sudden change in
temperature.
l
Do not use decorative covers or
trivets over the surface burners.
l
Do not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
injury.
l
Grease is flammable and should
be handled carefully. Let fat cool
before attempting to handle it. Do
not allow grease to collect around
cooktop or in vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.
l
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 sheet or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda or,
if available, a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
l
Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings. A
boil-over could result and cause
smoking and greasy spill-overs
that may ignite.
l
Make sure surface burners are off
when you are finished, and when
you aren’t watching.
l
Use care when opening oven
door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
l
Always position oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool.
. Do not store flammable materials
on or near the range. They could
explode or burn.
9 Do not store things children might
want above the range. Children
could be burned or injured while
climbing on it.
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
l
Do not leave children alone or
unattended in area where the
range is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the range. They could be
burned or injured.
l
Never use a match or other flame
to look for a gas leak. Explosion
and injury could result.
. Know where your main gas shut
off valve is located.
* Keep range vents unobstructed.
l
Clean your range regularly. See
care and cleaning instructions in
this manual.
l
Be sure all range parts are cool
before cleaning.
l
Do not clean door heat seal. It is
essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub,
damage, or move the seal. Clean
only parts recommended in this
Use and Care Guide.
l
Do not use oven cleaners. No
commercial oven cleaner or oven
liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any
part of the oven.
l
Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan, broiler grid,
oven racks and other utensils. Do
not use your oven to clean
miscellaneous parts.
l
Do not repair or replace any part of
the range unless specifically recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
l
Disconnect the electrical supply
before servicing the range.

Surface burner - ,“,”
marker
Using the surface burners
Control knobs must be pushed in,
then turned to the LITE position. The
clicking sound is the ignition sparking.
To stop the clicking sound after the
burner lights, turn the control knob back
to a desired setting. The control knob
has stops for HI, MED and LOW, however, it can be set anywhere between
HI and OFF.
Surface burner markers
The solid dot in the surface burner
marker 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 to stop the clicking of the
ignition.
Use HI to start foods 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 of a prolonged power failure:
Surface burners can be manually
lighted. Hold a lighted match near a
burner and turn the control to the LITE
position. After the burner lights, turn the
control to the desired setting.
Burn, Fire and Explosion Hazard
l
Burner flame should not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking
utensil. The flame can burn you
and cause poor cooking results.
l
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.
l
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 3. Failure to follow these
precautions could result in
explosion or fire.
l
Do not attempt to light the oven
burner during a power failure.
Personal injury could result.
