•Never modify or alter the construction of the appliance by removing panels, wire covers or any
other part of the product.
•Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or
sitting on the doors or drawers.
•Overhead range hoods, which operate by blowing a downward air flow on to a range, shall not
be used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the hood and range have been designed,
tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for use in combination with each other.
•Ensure that the room is well ventilated by keeping the air intakes open and in good working
order or by installing an extractor hood with discharge pipe. If the appliance is used intensively for a
long time the effectiveness of the ventilation will have to be increased, for example by opening a
window or increasing the power of any electric extractor fan.
•Flammable materials should not be stored on the appliance or near surface units. This includes
paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic ware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable
materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.
5

•Maintenance –Keep range area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
•Storage in or on the Range –Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near
surface units.
Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the appliance or on the backguard of
a range. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. Do
not allow children to climb or play around the appliance. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance. Children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be seriously
injured.
•DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKING SURFACE, THE BURNERS, GRATES OR ANY AREAS
NEAR THEM. Surface burners or appliance may be hot even though flames are not visible. Areas
near surface burners or appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient
time to cool.
•Do not wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or
other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
• Smother grease fires with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
•Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
-You know you have a Class A, B, C extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
-The fire is small and contained in the area where it is started.
-The fire department is being called.
-You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

•When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become
too hot.
•Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements, the flame or burners. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
•Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst
and result in injury.
•Stepping, leaning or sitting on this appliance can result in serious injuries and also cause
damage to the appliance.
•Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
•Know which knob controls which surface burner. Visually check that the burner has lit. Then
adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
•Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood
or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When cooking food turn the hood, fan on. Refer
to hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
•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 the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface burners.
•Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings. Boil overs cause smoke and
greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
7

•Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the appliance. Use aluminum foil only to cover food
during cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
•Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for appliance service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for appliance use.
•Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the
decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner is on.
Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the range or burners
because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause
combustion problems.
• Always use proper flame size. Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil. 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 flame will also improve efficiency.
•Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking
utensil.
•Use the proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils
will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
•Do not use stove top grills on your gas appliance. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas
burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED
PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED
TO FLOOR OR WALL, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP
BRACKET.
•The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force
or weight to the open door without having the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.
TIP OVER HAZARD
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.
Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.
See the installation instructions for details.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

Ventilation Requirements
The range should have proper ventilation in order to keep the unit operating properly and maintain the
temperature of immediate surroundings within safe limits. Check your local building codes as they
may vary from the general rules outlined in this guide. It is recommended that a hood be installed
above the range that is rated no less than 400 CFM. This will provide adequate ventilation for this
range. Mounting distance of your ventilation is outlined by the manufacturer of your hood and is
dependent on the total BTU output of your range.
•Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation
air.
•It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the
model/serial rating plate.
•For proper operation of a gas appliance, the air necessary for the combustion of the gas must be
able to flow into the room naturally. The air must flow into the room directly through openings in the
outside walls. These openings must have an unobstructed cross-section not less than 2m3/h for each
kw of power (see total power in kw on the appliance).
• This opening must be constructed so that it will not be obstructed from inside or outside, and
not be constructed close to the floor. The opening is recommended to be on the side opposite to that
on which the flue gases are discharged.
•The range should be located for convenient use in the kitchen.
•Recessed installations must provide complete enclosure of the sides and rear of the range.
•To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by
reaching over heated surface units, cabinet
storage space located above the surface units
should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be
