IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement 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 primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly 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.

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 spillovers, 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 spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped
and remain cool.
Always use tile LITEposition when ignidng

Usingthe oven.
Toavoid possible bums, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin...
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the shelf supports (A
through E), they will stop before coming
completely out, and will not flit.
\Alton placing and removing cookware,
pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf
support.
Toremove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the
ti'ont end up and pull it out.
Toreplace, place the end of the shelf (stoi>
locks) on the support, tilt up the ti'ont and
push the shelf in.
NOTE: Theshelf is not desl)ned toslide out at the
specta/low shelf (R)position.
Ttieoven has 5shelf positions.
It also has a special low shelf
position (R)for extra large items,
such as a large turkey.
Plastic items on ttie cooktop may
melt if left too close to ttie vent.
Vent appearance and location var}4
Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the
rear of the range. Do not block these ducts
when cooking in the oven--it is important
that the flow (ff hot air ti'om the oven and
ti'esh air to the oven burner be
uninmrrupted. Avoid touching the vent
openings or nearby surli_ces during oven or
broiler ol)eration--thev may become hot.

The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a
power fifilure. Gas will not flow unless the

If the oven is in use when a power tifilure
occms, the oven burner shuts off and
cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This
is beca use the flow of gas is a utomaflcallv

Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom with

You can use aluminum foil to line tile

must mold the fi)il tightly to the grid and
cut slits in it just like the grid.
Muminum fi)il may also be used to catch a

Never entirely cover a shelf with ahmfinum
