AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN
HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SUR-
FACES OF THE OVEN OR THE WARMER
DRAWER (if provided). Both surface
burners and oven heating elements may
be hot even though surface burner flames
are not visible or oven elements are dark in
color. Areas near surface burners may
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials
come into contact with these areas until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop, sur-
faces facing the cooktop, the oven vent
openings and surfaces near these open-
ings and the oven door and window.

Fires - Smother the fire with a pan lid, or
use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher.
Only use dry potholders - Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let the pothold-
ers touch hot heating surface units or inte-
rior oven elements. Do not use towels or
other bulky cloths instead of a potholder.
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers -
Build-up of pressure may cause the con-
tainer to burst and result in injury.
Remove the oven door from any unused
appliance if it is to be stored or dis-
carded.
WARNING
• Stepping, leaning or sitting on the
door or drawer of this appliance can
result in serious injuries and may
also cause damage to the appli-
ance. Do not allow children to climb
or play around the appliance. The
weight of a child on an open door
may cause the appliance to tip,
resulting in serious burns or other
injury. An open drawer, when hot,
may cause burns.
• Do not use the oven or warmer
drawer (if provided) for storage.
• NEVER use this appliance as a
space or room heater. Doing so may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning
and cause the appliance to overheat.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR GAS COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface
burner. Place a pan of food on the burner
before turning it on, and turn the burner
off before removing the pan.
Always turn the knob to the full LITE posi-
tion when igniting top burners. Visually
check that burner has lit. Then adjust the
flame so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil.
Use The Proper Pan Size -This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface burn-
ers of different sizes. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface burner. If the utensil is smaller than
the burner, some of the flame will be
exposed and may result in the ignition of
clothing. Correct pan size will also improve
efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward
and Should 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
- Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spill-
overs that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt.
Protective liners - Do not use aluminum
foil to line the bottom of the oven or any
other part of the appliance. Only use alu-
minum foil recommended for baking if
used as a cover placed on the food. Any
other use of protective liners or aluminum
foil may result in a risk of electric shock,
fire or a short circuit.
Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.
Air curtain or other overhead ventilating
hoods, which operate by blowing air
downwards onto 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 inde-
pendent test laboratory for use in combi-
nation with each other.
Do not use a Searing Grill on the cooktop.
The searing grill is not designed for use on
the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.
WARNING
• Use proper flame size - Adjust the
flame size so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware. If
the utensil is smaller than the burner,
some of the flame will be exposed
and may result in the ignition of
clothing. Correct pan size will also
improve efficiency.
• Do not use stove top grills on the
burner grates of sealed gas burners.
If you use a stove top grill on a
sealed gas burner, it will cause
incomplete combustion and can
result in exposure to carbon monox-
ide levels above allowable current
standards
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

8
Do Not Use Decorative Surface burner
Covers. If a burner is turned on acciden-
tally, the decorative cover will become hot
and possibly melt. Touching the hot covers
may cause burns. The cooktop or burners
may also become damaged because the
covers may cause overheating. Air will be
prevented from reaching the burner and
cause combustion problems.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Take Care When Opening the Door or
Drawer. Stand to the side of the appliance
when opening the door of a hot oven. Let
hot air or steam escape before you
remove food or place it in the oven/
warmer drawer.
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The
oven is vented at the front above the oven
door or through the rear of the cooktop.
Touching the surfaces in this area when
the oven is in operation may cause severe
burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensi-
tive items on or near the oven vent. These
items could melt or ignite.
Positioning the Oven/Warmer Drawer (if
provided) Racks. Always place the oven
racks in the required position while oven/
drawer (if provided) is cool. Remove all
utensils from the rack before removing it.
Take great care if the rack has to be
moved while the oven is hot. Use pothold-
ers and grasp the rack with both hands
when repositioning it. Do not let pothold-
ers touch the hot oven element or the
inside of the oven/warmer drawer (if pro-
vided).
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat
to drain and be kept away from the high
heat of the broiler.
Do not cover the broiler or warmer
drawer (if provided) grid with aluminum
foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp
cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to
break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off
the power to the appliance before remov-
ing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION FOR CLEAN-
ING YOUR APPLIANCE
Clean the appliance regularly to keep all
parts free of grease that could catch fire.
Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recom-
mended directions when using kitchen
cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that
excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently, grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on
hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning ventilating hoods.
WARNING
Make sure all controls are turned off and
that the appliance is cool before manually
cleaning any part of the appliance. Clean-
ing a hot appliance can cause burns.
