WARNING!
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.
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
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
Have the instafler show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
E_,:Ha_ your rang_ installed and properly E_,:Plug your range into a 990:\_1t grounded

accordance with the Installation Insuucdons.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas rang_
installers or service technicians.

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 lefl on range can ignite. Usepans with handles that can be easily grasped
and remain cool
_t{;;Always use the LITE position when igniting
fl_e top burners and make sure the humers
hm_ ignited.
;_i:,:Nex_r leave fl_e surface burners unattended
