For more information, see the “The anti-tip bracket” on p. 15.
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 satisfactorv operation.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons,
or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
WARNING: if the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a
fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal
injury or death.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
l
Do not try to light any appliance.
l
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your
building.
l
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow
the gas supplier’s instructions.
l
if you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.

General
l
Install or locate the range only in accordance with the provided Installation
Instructions. The range must 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
Gas fuels and their use in appliances can
cause minor exposures to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and
soot, primarily from incomplete combustion. Significant exposure to these
substances could cause cancer or
reproductive harm. Properly adjusted
burners with a blue, rather than a yellow,
flame will minimize incomplete combustion. Venting with a hcod or an open
window will further minimize exposure.
l
Do not store things children might want
above the range. Children could be
burned or injured while climbing on it.
l
Do not leave children alone or unat-
tended 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
Do not operate the range if it is damaged
or not working properly.
l
Do not use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
l
Do not attempt to light the oven burner
during a power failure. Personal injury
could result. Reset oven controls to the
off position in the event of a power failure.
l
Use the range only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
l
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch an open flame. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could
catch on fire.
l
Do not touch surface burners, areas near
surface burners or interior surfaces of
oven. Areas near surface burners and
interior surfaces of an oven become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact surface
burners, areas near surface burners or
interior surfaces of oven until they have
had suffiiient time to cool. Other surfaces
of the range, such as the oven vent
opening, the surface near the vent
opening, the cooktop, and the oven door
and window, could also become hot
enough to cause burns.
when using the range. They could ignite if
they touch an open flame and you could
be burned.
l
Keep range vents unobstructed.
l
Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles could
cause injury.
l
Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
l
Do not use the oven for storage.
l
Do not use aluminum foil to line reflector
pans, oven bottom, or any other part of
the range. Use aluminum foil only as
recommended in this manual.
l
Never use a match or other flame to look
for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could
result.
l
Know where your main gas shutoff valve
is located.

When using the cooktop
l
Make sure the utensils you use are large
enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splattering or spillovers left on a range could
ignite and bum you. Pan size is espe-
cially important in deep fat frying.
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 cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
l
Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that could ignite.
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
Do not use decorative wvers or trivets
over the surface burners.
When using the oven
l
Always position the oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
l
Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
l
Grease is flammable. 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 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.
Care and cleaning
l
Do not use oven cleaners in continuouscleaning oven model. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
l
Do not clean door heat seal. lt 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 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
Any additions, changes or conversions
required in order for this appliance to
satisfactorily meet the application needs
must be made by a Whirlpoole service
company or Qualified Agency.
l
Disconnect the electrical supply and the
gas supply at the shutoff valve near the
range before servicing the range.

Burn, Fire and Exploslon Hazard
l
Burner flame should not extend beyond
the edge of the cooking utensil. The
flame could 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 cook-
ing, 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 p. 3.
Failure to follow these precautions
could resuk in explosion or fire.
Product Damage Hazard
Do not leave an empty utensil, or one
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface
burner.
The utensil could overheat and could
damage the utensil or cooking product.
Cookware tips
No one brand of cookware is best for all
people. Knowing something about pan
materials and construction will help you
select the correct cookware for your needs.

NOTE: For best results and greater fuel
efficiency,

l
Choose medium to heavy gauge
(thickness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

burners through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.
Choose pans that provide the best cooking
results.

l
Handles
should be made of a sturdy, heat-
resistant material and be securely attached
to the pan.
l
Pans should be easy
to clean. Check to be
sure there are no crevices, rough edges or
areas where food might collect.
l
Be sure pans
do not tip, whether they are
full or empty.
l
Use cookware
only as it was intended to
be used. Follow pan instructions. This is
very important for glass cookware because
some should be used only in the oven.
Other pans are marked as flameware and
may be used on the surface burners.
Home canning information
The large diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can cause
damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:

For best results,
