Important Safety Information
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
1. Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface burners of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface burner flame. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
burner flame to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
burner will also improve efficiency.
2. Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High
Heat Settings—Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
3. Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
oven bottom except as suggested in the manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electrical shock, or fire.
4. Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of
glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils
aresuitable for rangetop service without breakingdue
tosuddenchangeintemperature.
5. Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.
Delayed Ignition
Surface Burners
Burner should ignite within 4 seconds. If burner does not
ignite within 4 seconds turn control knob to OFF position
andfollowdirectionsin“PlacingGratesandBurnerCaps”
and“Before Calling for Service” section.Tryburneragain.
If burner still does not ignite in 4 seconds, contact an
authorizedservicer.
Bake and Broil Burner Flame
Allow no more than 40–60 seconds before burner ignites
and heat is felt. To check for heat, open oven door to first
stop and place hand over oven door. If heat is not felt,
turn temperature knob to OFF position. If burner
repeatedly fails to ignite, contact an authorized servicer.
ALL APPLIANCES
1. Proper Installation —Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
2. Never Use Appliance for Warming or Heating the
Room.

VENTILATION HOOD
1. Clean Ventilation Hood Frequently—Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
2. When flaming foods under hood, turn fan off. The
fan, if operating, may spread the flame.
In Case of Fire
Fires can occur as a result of over cooking or excessive
grease. Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed
as follows:
Surface Burner Fire
1. Smother the fire with a nonflammable lid or baking
soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not
water. Not salt. Not flour.
2. As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface
burner controls to OFF .
• As an added precaution, turn off gas supply and
power at main circuit breaker or fuse box.
Oven Fires
1. If you see smoke from oven, do not open oven door.
2. Turn oven control to OFF .
3. As an added precaution, turn off gas supply and
power at main circuit breaker or fuse box.
4. Turn on vent to remove smoke.
5. Allow food or grease to burn itself out in oven.
6. If smoke and fire persist, call fire department.
7. If there is any damage to components, call repair
service before using range.
Precautions
• Do not cook food directly on rangetop surface, always
use cookware.
• Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical
mixtures may interact with objectionable or even
hazardous results.
• Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas. They
may stick and melt.
• Do not slide rough metal objects across rangetop
surface. Scratching or metal marking can result.
• Do not use damp sponge or dishcloth to clean rangetop
when range is hot. Steam from sponge or dishcloth can
burn.

smaller bottom than surface burner. Do not use
utensilsthat overhang grate bymore than1inch.
More than 1 inch
overhang
Does not cover burner
Use proper pan size
• Use care when using glazed cooking utensils. Some
glass, earthenware, or other glazed utensils break due
to sudden temperature changes.
• Select utensils without broken or loose handles.
• Handles should not be heavy enough to tilt pan.
• Do not use stove top grills on your range. Stove top
grills cause incomplete combustion and can create
levels of carbon monoxide above allowable standards.
• Do not use a wok with a ring stand. Use flat bottom
wok.
Wok
To avoid pan wobbling,use apan witha flatbottom.
Determine if pan has a flat bottom.
1. Rotate a ruler along bottom of pan. If pan is not flat,
gaps between bottom of pan and edge of ruler occur.
2. A small groove or mark on a pan does not effect
cooking times. However, if a pan has a gap, formed
rings, or an uneven bottom, it does not cook
efficiently and in some cases may not boil liquid.
