Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
1. Use this range for its intended purpose as described in this instruction manual.
2. Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with
the provided installation instructions.
3. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by a qualified gas range installer or
service technician. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is
specifically recommended in this manual.
4. Your range is shipped from the factory set for use with natural gas or propane (LP) gas. It
can be converted for use with either. If required, these adjustments must be made by a
qualified technician in accordance with the installation instructions and local codes. The agency
performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
5. Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to turn it off
if necessary.
6. Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not removed the round grounding
prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your
responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet in accordance with the National
Electrical Code. Do not use an extension code with this range.
7. Before performing any service, unplug the range or disconnect the power supply at the
household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
8. Be sure all packing materials are removed from the range before operating to prevent
ignition of these materials.
9. Avoid scratching or impacting glass displays. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not
cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire, or cuts may occur.
10. Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the range.
11. Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above an oven-children
who climb onto the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.
12. Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlets and outlets
that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are
located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of
the range.
13. Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders touch surface burners, burner grate, or oven heating
element. Do not use a towel or other bulky fabrics in place of pot holders.
6

Extremely Heavy.
Proper equipment and adequate manpower are needed when move the range to avoid
personal injury or damage to the unit or the floor.
Failure to follow this advice may result in damage or personal injury.
DO NOT carry or lift the cooking range by the oven door handle or the control panel!
14. Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may
be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient
time for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
Potentially hot surfaces include the burners, grates, oven vent opening, surfaces near the
opening, crevices around the oven door, metal trim parts above the door, any backguard, or
high shelf surface.
15. Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing any injury.
7

Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature
recommendations can be found at www.IsItDoneYet.gov and www.fsis.usda.gov. Use a food
thermometer to take food temperatures and check several locations.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, drawer or cooktop. They could
damage the range or tip it over causing severe injury or death.
Keep the ventilator hood and grease filter clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease
fires. Turn the ventilator OFF in case of a fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor or other
spirits on the cooktop. The blower if in operation, could spread the flames.
Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper,
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out.
Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a
burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.
8
Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper,
plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may
ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.
Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.

NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil or oven liners. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may
cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Never place foil or oven liners on the oven bottom. They can trap
heat causing risk of smoke or fire.
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Escaping hot air or steam can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor.
These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or
fire. If aluminum foil damaged the unit it will not be covered by the warranty.
Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is
hot, be careful to avoid touching hot surfaces.
Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils, or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored
in an oven can ignite.
Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent. Items may overheat resulting in a risk of fire
or burns.
Never broil with the door open. Open-door broiling is not advised due to overheating of control knobs.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily
foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding cabinets.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use the minimum amount of oil when frying in a shallow pan and
avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that
matches the size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so that they do not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flames may be hazardous.
When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop use; others may break
because of a sudden change in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, cookware handles
should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby burners.
Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the burner
resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may damage the gas tubing to the surface burners
resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.
Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.
