ANTI-TIPDEVICE
All ranges can tip and injury could result.
Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall by installing the Anti- 77pdevice supplied.
If the Anti-77pdevice supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-77p device
WB2X7909.
Tocheck if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. TheAnti-77p
device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.
If you pull file range out flom file wall %r any reason, make sure the device is propedy engaged
when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range
tipping o_r and causing i_jury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device infbnnation in this manual. Failure to rake this precaution

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 yeflow 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.
SAFETYPRECAUtiONS
When using electrical appfiances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following."
Use this appliance only for its intended Do not leave children alone--<hildren

Never install the range over viny'l tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such ty'pe
of use. Never install it directly over inmrior
kitchen caq)eting.
Do not lea\_ children alone or unatmnded
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously' burned.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or healing the room.
Large scratches or impacts to glass dooi_
can lead to broken or shauered glass.
Never wear loose-fitting or hangdng garments
while using the appliance. Be carefld when
reaching for imms stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable mamrial couM be ignited
if brought in contact with flame or hot o_n
surfi_ces and may cause severe bums.
Do not store flammable mamrials in an
oven, a range drav_>r or near a cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible mamrials,
gasoline or other flammable _apors and
liquids in the vicinity' of this or any other
appliance.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable mamrials accumulam in or

Do not use v_mr on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls offl
Smother a flaming pan on a surfime burner
by' covering the pan complemly with a
well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or fiat tray.
Use a mulfi-puq)ose d Uchemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by' covering it with baking soda oi;
if available, by' using a multi-purpose dU
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher
Flame in the upper o\>n or lower oven

Ne_>r block d_e vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessa_w fbr the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. ,Mr
openings are locamd at the rear of the
cooktop, at the lop and bottom of the oven
door, and at the bottom of the range under

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 spiflovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain
the food properly. This wifl both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since
heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Usepans with handles that can be easily grasped
and remain cool
Always use tile LITE posidon when igniting
the top bmnecs and make sure the burners
hme ignited.
Never leave the surfi_ce burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy' spillo_rs that may'
catch on fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
Use only dr},'pot holders--moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfi_ces may result in
bums fiom smam. Do not let pot holders
come near open flames when lifting
cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky'
cloth in place of a pot holdei:
When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed fbr top-ofZrange cooking.
To minimize the possibility' of bums, ignition
of flammable mamrials and spillage, mm
cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without exmnding o_r
adjacent burners.
Carefifllv watch foods being flied at a high
flame setting.
Alway's heat fi_t slowly', and watch as it heats.
Do not leave any items on the cook/op. The
hot air fiom fl_e vent Y0ay ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
If a combination of oils or fi_tswill be used
in fi?'ing, stir together be%re healing or
as fi_ts melt slowly.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent o_rheating fi_tbeyond
the smoking point.
Use the least possible amount of fi_t for
eflecti\'e shallow or deep-fi_t fiTing. Filling
the pan too fifll of fi_tcan cause spillo_rs
when food is added.
Do not flame foods on die cooktop, gyou do
flame %ods under fl_e hood, mm the fire on.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surfhce
if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner g_am to support the
wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may
damage the burner gram and burner head.
Also, it may cause the burner to work
improperly. This may cause a cai%on
monoxide level abox_ that allowed bv current
standards, resuhing in a health hazard.
Foods fbr fiTing should be as dry as possible.
Frost on flozen foods or moisture on fiesh
foods can cause hot fi_tto bubble up and
o_r the sides of the pan.
Never try to move a pan of hot fi_t, especially
a deep fi_tflTei: _\.dt until the fi_t is cool.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--
fl_ey may' melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics away'fiom fl_e surfi_ce
burners.
To avoid the possibility' of a burn, always be
certain that the controls fbr all burners are
at the OFFposition and all grams are cool
befbre attempting to remove them.
If range is locamd near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surfi_ce burners and creak a fire hazard.
If you smell gas, turn offthe gas to file rang_
and call a qualified service mchnician. Never
use an open flame to locam a leak.
Always turn the surfi_ce burner controls off
befbre removing cookware.
When disabling (;as/(kmtrol i,ockout, make
sure fl_e smfi_ce controls are set to the OFF
position. This will preclude g_s flow when the
range is turned on

_e.COITI
LOWEROVENDRAWER
The purpose of die warm setdng of the
lower oven drawer is to hold hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Always start
with hot fbod; cold fbod cannot be heamd
or cooked using the warm setting of the
lower <>,Jell drawer.
Do not use the lower oven drawer to dry
newspapers. If o_rheated, they' call catch
OIl fire.
Do not leave paper products, plastics,
canned fbod or combustible materials ill
tile drmver
Nexer leave jars or calls of fat drippings ill
or near VOl/r lower oven drmver.
Do not warm fbod in the lower o_en drawer
fbr more than two hours.
Do not touch theheating element or the interior
surface ofthe lower oven drawer.
These surfi_ces may be hot enough tO burn.
REMEMBER:The inside surfi_ce of the lower
oven drawer may be hot when the drm,_r
is opened.
Use care when opening the lower oven
drawer Open file drawer a crack and let
hot air or steam escape befbre removing
or replacing %od. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, fi_ce
and/or eyes.
Do not use aluminum %il to lille file lower
oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat
insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This
will upset the perfbmlance of the drawer
and it could damage the inmfior finish.
Never place, use or selfklean tile lower o_>n
