WARNING!

Foryour safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion,

electric shock, or toprevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

WARNINGANti-TIPDEVICE

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.

Tocheck if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. TheAnti--tip

device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.

It'you pull the range out tiom the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged

when you push the range back against the wall. ff it is not, there is a possible risk of the range

tipping over and causing injuiy ityou or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip de_4ce i_ff()rmation in this manual. Failure to take this precaution

could result in tipping of the range and injuiy.

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 ofpotential exposure to such substances.

Gasappliances 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

LPfuels. 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.

Fluorescent light bulbs and safety valves on standing pilot ranges contain mercury. If your model has

these features, they must be recycled according to local, state and federal codes.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if

necessary.

.....Have your range installed and properly

grounded by a qualitied installer, in

accordance with the Installation Insuuctions.

Any adjustment and sei_dce should be

perf{wmed only by qualitied gas range

installers or se_Mcetechnicians.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part

of your range unless it is specitically

recommended in this manual. All other

sei_dce should be referred to a qualitied

technician.

.....Plug your range into a 120wolt grounded

outlet only. Do not remove the round

grounding prong from the plug. It in doubt

about the grounding of the home electrical

system, it isyour personal responsibility and

obligation to have an un_ounded outlet

replaced with a properly grounded, three-

prong outlet in accordance with the National

Elecuical Code. Do not use an extension

cord with this appliance.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Locate the range out of kitchen traftic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent pilot

outage (on standing pilot models) and poor

air circulation.

Be sure all packaging materials are removed

flom the range before operating it to prevent

fire or smoke damage should the packaging

material ignite.

Be sure your range is correctly a(!justed by a

qualified sei_4ce technician or installer for

the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be

used. Your range can be converted for use

with either type of gas. See the Installation of

the range section.

WARNING:These adjustments must be

made by a qualified sei_4ce technician in

accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions and all codes and requirements

of the authority hax4ng,jurisdiction. Failure to

follow these instructions could result in

serious inju Uor property damage. The

qualified agency performing this work

assumes responsibility for the conversion.

.....After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor

coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the range over _4nyl tile or

linoleum that cannot withstand such type of

use. Never install it directly over interior

kitchen carpeting.

Do not leave children alone or unattended

where a range is hot or in operation. They

could be seriously burned.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the oven door, storage drmver, warming

drmver or cooktop. They could damage the

range and even tip it over, causing severe

personal injuU.

CAUTION:Items of interest to children

should not be stored in cabinets above a

range or on the backsplash of a range-

children climbing on the range to reach

items could be seriously injured.

For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

.....Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when

reaching for items stored in cabinets over the

range. Flammable material could be i_fited

if brought in contact with flame or hot oven

surfaces and may cause severe burns.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range storage drawer, awanning drawer or

near a cooktop.

.....Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate in or near

the range.

.....Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick

up aflaming pan. Turn the conuols off.

Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner

by covering the pan completely with awell-

fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat uay. Use a

multi-purpose dUchemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or, if

available, by using a multi-purpose dU

chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven or wanning drawer can be

smothered completely by closing the oven

door or drawer and turning the control to off

or by using a multi-purpose dUchemical or

foam-type fire extinguisher.

Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leax4ng them where

children can reach them.

Never block the vents (air openings) of the

range. They prox4de the air inlet and outlet

that are necessm T 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 under

the storage drawer or kick panel.

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 the LITEposition (on elecuic

ignition models) or the HI position (on

standing pilot models) when igniting the top

bmners and laake sme the bmners have ignited.

.....Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings, goilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers 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 diT pot holders- moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

fiom steam. Do not let pot holders come

near open flames when lilting cookware. Do

not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place

of a pot holder.

.....When using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for top-of-range cooking.

.....To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn

cookware handles toward the side or back

of the range without extending over adjacent

burners.

.....Carethlly watch foods being tiied at a high

flame setting.

Ahvays heat tat slowly, and watch as it heats.

.....Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air Dom the vent may i_fite flammable

items and will increase pressure in closed

containers, which may cause them to burst.

.....It a combination of oils or tats will be used in

tiTing, stir together before heating or as tats

melt slowly.

.....Use a deep tat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating tat beyond

the smoking point.

.....Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-tat tiTing. Filling the

pan too thll of fat can cause spillovers when

food isadded.

.....When flaming foods are under the hood,

turn the tan off. The tan, it operating, may

spread the flames.

.....Do not use awok on the cooking surface it

the wok has a round metal ring that isplaced

over the burner grate m support the wok. This

ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage

the burner grate and burner head. Also, it

may cause the burner m work improperly.

This may cause a carbon monoxide level

above that allowed by current standards,

resulting in a health hazard.

.....Foods for tiTing should be as dUas possible.

Frost on tiozen foods or moisture on tiesh

foods can cause hot tat to bubble up and

over the sides of the pan.

.....Never uT to move a pan of hot tat, especially

a deep tat tiTer. Wait until the fat is cool.

.....Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

they may melt it left too close to the vent.

.....Keep all plastics away Dom the surface

burners.

.....To avoid the possibility of a burn, ahvays be

certain that the controls for all burners are

at the OFFposition and all grates are cool

before attempting to remove them.

.....Itrange islocated near a window, do not

hang long curtains that could blow over the

surface burners and create a fire hazard.

.....When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot

models), you will detect a taint odor of gas

as your signal to relight the pilot. When

relighting the pilot, make sure burner

controls are in the OFFposition, and follow

instructions in this manual to relight.

.....ffyou smell gas, and you have already made

sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models),

turn off the gas to the range and call a

qualilied soMce technician. Never use an

open flame to locate a leak.

.....Be carethl when you clean the cooktop

because the area over the pilot (on standing

pilot models) will be hot.

.....Ahvays turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

stored in the oven can i_dte.

Keep the oven fiee fiom _ease buildup.

Place the oven shelves in the desired position

while the oven is cool.

Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lilting heaxT foods. It is also

a precaution against burns fiom touching

hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The

lowest position "R" is not desi_md to slide.

Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an in,juU.

Never use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom. Improper use of foil could start a fire.

Do not use aluminum foil anDvhere in the

oven except as described in this manual.

Misuse could result in a fire hazard or

damage to the range.

.....When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

.....Do not use your oven to dUnewspapers.

If overheated, they can catch fire.

.....Use only glass cookware that is

recommended for use in gas ovens.

.....Ahvays remove the broiler pan fiom range as

soon asyou finish broiling. Grease left in the

pan can catch fire il oven isused without

remox4ng the grease fiom the broiler pan.

.....When broiling, il meat is too close to the

flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat m

prevent excessive flare-ups.

.....Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly

to reduce the possibility of _ease fires.

.....Ifyou should have a grease fire in the broiler

pan, press the C£E/IR/0/:/:pad, and keep

the oven door closed to contain fire until

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is

recommended becmlse it heats quickly

and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an

aluminum skillet. Use saucepans _ith tight-

fitting lids when cooking _ith lninimum

amounts of water.

Cast-Iron:ffheated slowly, most skillets will

give satisfhctoty results.

Enamelware'.Under some conditions,

the enamel of some cookware may melt.

Follow cookware manufacturer's

recommendations fbr cooking methods.

Glass: There are two bqpes of glass

cookware-those for oven use only and

those for mI>of-range cooking (saucepans,

coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat

veUslowly.

HeatproofGlassCeramic:Can be used fbr

eiflmr surfhce or oven cooking. It conducts

heat vepy slowly and cools very slowly. Check

cookware manufacturer's directions to be

sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor

heating properties and is usually combined

with copper, aluminum or other metals far

improved heat distribution. Combination

metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if

they are used with medium heat as the

lnanufacturer recolnlnends.

Stove Top Grills (onmodelswith sealedburners)

Do not use stove top _'ills on your sealed

gas burners. Ifyou use fl_estove top grill on
