WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement 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 appfiances 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.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off
if necessary.
} Have sour range installed and properlg
grounded bg a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Ang adjustment and service should be
performed onlg bg qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specificallg
recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
_:,Plug sour range into a 120-volt grounded
outlet onlg. Do not remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
sgstem, it is sour personal responsibilitg and
obligation to have an ungrounded outlet
replaced with a properlg grounded,
three-prong outlet in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. Do not use
an extension cord with this appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air
circulation.
iiiiiil
iiiiiiili_
Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging
material ignite.
Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service 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: Theseadjustments
must be made by a qualified service
technician in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and all codes
and requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or 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 vinyl 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 drawer, warming
drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
_IL 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.
WARNING: NEVERusethis
appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.

Neverwear loosefitting or hanging garments
while usingthe appliance.Becarefulwhen
reachingfor items stored in cabinetsoverthe
range.Flammablematerial could beignited
if brought in contact with flame or hotoven
surfaces and may cause severeburns.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
a range storage drawer, a warming 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 a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a
multi-purpose dry chemical 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 dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the control to off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary 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 kick panel or
storage drawer.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can
lead to broken or shattered glass.

WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easfl_l tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid 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 Lite position when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers 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 dry pot holders-moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. 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 holder.
When using glass cookware, make sure it
isdesigned 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.
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.

Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the
wok has a round metal ring that is placed over
the burner grate to 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 to work improperly. This may
cause a carbon monoxide level above that
allowed by current standards, resulting in a
health hazard.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the Off position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
If range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and create a fire hazard.
If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to
damage and improper operation of the range.

How to Select Flame Size
Forsafehandling of cookware,neverlet the
flames extendup thesides ofthe cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as gou reduce
heat. Whenfast heating isdesired,the flame
sizeon a gas burner should match the
cookware gou are using.
Flameslarger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating
of the cookware and could be hazardous.

Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly.Host foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Usesaucepanswith tight-
fitting lidswhen cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Custdron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will givesatisfactory results.
Enamelware: Undersome conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer's
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: Thereare two types of glass
cookware-those for oven use only and those
for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,coffee
and teapots).Glassconducts heat very
slowly.
HeutproofGluss Ceramic: Can be usedfor
either surface or ovencooking. It conducts
heat very slowly and coolsvery slowly. Check
cookware manufacturer's directions to be
sure it can be usedon gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties and isusually combined
with copper,aluminum or other metalsfor
improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skilletsusually work satisfactorily if
they are usedwith medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Stove Top Grills (on models with sealed burners)
Do not usestove top grills on your sealedgas
burners. If you usethe stove top grill on the
sealedgas burner,it will cause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposure to
carbon monoxide levelsabove allowable
current standards.
Thiscanbe hazardous to gout health.
Useaflat-bottomedwok.
Wok, This Wag (on models with sealed burners)
Werecommend that you usea J4"or smaller
flat-bottomed wok. Makesure thewok bottom
sitsflat on the grate. Theyare availableat
your loca!retai!store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Donot usea flat-bottomed wok on a support
ring. Placingthe ring over the burner or grate
may cause the burner to work improperly,
resulting in carbon monoxide levelsabove
allowable standards. Thiscould be dangerous
to your health.
In Case of Power Failure
