WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to

publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and

requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon

monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primaril 9 by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or

LP fuels. Properl9 adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off volve and how to shut it off

if necessary.

_i_,:Have your range installed and properly

grounded by a qualified installer, in

accordance with the Installation Instructions.

Any adjustment and service should be

performed onlg by qualified gas range

installers or service technicians.

;;i:,:Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specificallg

recommended in this manual. All other service

should be referred to a qualified technician.

_i:,:Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded

outlet only. Do not remove the round

grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt

about the grounding of the home electrical

system, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to have an ungrounded outlet

replaced with a properly grounded,

three-prong outlet in accordance with

the National Electrical Code. Do not use

an extension cord with this appliance.

appliance as a space heater to heat or

warm the room. Doing so may result

in carbon monoxide poisoning and

overheating of the oven.

_t_:_Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when

reaching for items stored in cabinets over the

range. Flammable material could be ignited

if brought in contact with flame or hot oven

surfaces and may cause severe burns.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range storage drawer, a warming drawer

or near a cooktop.

Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped, Select cookware having flat

bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spiffovers, make sure cookware is large enough

to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of

food, since heavy spattering or spiffovers left on range con ignite, Use pans with handles that can be

eosifg grasped and remain cool,

_;i:,:Always use the Lite position when igniting the

top burners and make sure the burners have

ignited.

_::Never leave the surface burners unattended at

high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

_i:,:Adjust the top burner flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the

cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

_t_:_Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holders come near

open flames when lifting cookware. Do not

use a towel or other bulky cloth in place

of a pot holder

_i:,:When using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for top-of-range cooking,

_:::To minimize the possibilitg of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn

cookware handles toward the side or back of

the range without extending over adjacent

burners.

_:::Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

_i_Always heat fat slowlg, and watch as it heats.

_: Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air from the vent may ignite flammable

items and will increase pressure in closed

containers, which may cause them to burst.

_t_::If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating or as fats

melt slowlg.

;_i:,:Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

;_::,:Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the

pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when

food is added.

_):,:Do not flame foods on the cooktop, If you do

flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

_i:,:Do not use a wok on the cooking surface ifthe

wok has a round metal ring that is placed over

the burner grate to support the wok, This ring

acts as a heat trap, which may damage the

burner grate and burner head. Also, it may

cause the burner to work improperlg, This may

cause a carbon monoxide level above that

allowed by current standards, resulting in a

health hazard.

_t_:_Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh

foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over

the sides of the pan.

_t_:_Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especiallg

a deep fat frye[ Wait until the fat is cool.

;_i:,:Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

;_i:,:Keep all plastics away from the surface

burners.

;_i:,:To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are at

the Off'position and all grates are cool before

attempting to remove them.

_i:,:If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the surface

burners and create a fire hazard.

_t::_If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

;_::,:Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

;_i:,:Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner

models, Lifting the cooktop can lead to

damage and improper operation of the range.
