IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPOR 77ANT SAFETY NOTICE
" The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of Califln'nia to publish a list
of substances known to the state to cause
cancer, birth deibcts or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
, The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaaa ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposme can be minimized by venting with
an open window or using a ventilation thn
or hood.
"Gas appliances can cause minor exposure
to four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, fln'maldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or LP hmls.
Properly ac{justed burners, indicated bv
a bhfish 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 thn or hood.
SAI >27T Pt 2 CA U770NS
When using your appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
" Have the installer show you the location of
the range gas shut-off valve and how to turn
it off if necessary.
" Be sure all pacMng materials are removed
from the range befln'e operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should tile packing
material ignite.
"After prolonged use of a raJage, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstazad this kind of use.
Never install tile range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such use.
Never install it directly over interior kitchen
caq) eting.
" Locate the rlmge out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations and areas with
poor air circulation.
AWARNING:
M1 ranges can tip and injury
could result. To prevent
accidental tipping of the range,
attach it to the wM1 by installing
the Anti-Tip device supplied.
To check if tile device is
installed and engaged properl>
carefully tip tile range flu'ward.
The Anti-Tip device should
engage and prevent the range
fl'om tipping over.
If you pull tile rlmge out fl'om tile wall fl)r
any reason, make sure the device is properly
engaged when you push tile range back
against tile wall.
If it is not, there is a possible risk of tile range
tipping over and causing il_jm y if you or a
child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please reibr to tile Anti-Tip infl)rmation in
the installation instructions.
Failure to take this precaution could result in
tipping of tile range and il_jury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAP;r2TY PRE CAUJTONS
, Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn tile controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a sur/hce
unit by coveling the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
[)sea m ulti-purpose dry chemical or
flmm-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming giease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda o_,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or loam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven call be smothered
completely by closing tile oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a m ulti-
purpose dry chemical or loam-type fire
extinguisher.
, 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.
Clean drip trays and liners after every use.
, If you smell gas, tile installer has not done a
proper job of checking flw leaks. You call have
a small leak and theretbre a thint gas smell if
tile connections are not completely tight.
Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-itwourself
procedure. Some leaks call only be timnd
with the burner control ill tile ON position
and fiw your protection it must be done by
a qualilied se_wice technician. Never use all
open flame to locate a leak.
, If by some chance a burner goes out and
gas escapes, open a window or a door to
let the room air out. Do slot attempt to use
tile appliance until tile gas has had time
to dissipate. Follow tile instructions ill
"What to do if You Smell Gas" on page 2.
" Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of
the oven or cooktop. Using a fl_il liner could
result ill a fire hazard or tile obstiuction of
the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Foil is all excellent heat insulator and heat
will be trapped underneath it. This trapped
heat can upset tile cooking perti)rmance and
call damage the finish of the oven or the
cooktop.
SUPd ACE COOKING
* Do not heat unopened food containers;
a build-up of pressure may cause tile
container to bm_t.
* Set the burner control so that the flame
heats only the bottom of the pan and does
slot extend beyond the bottom of tile pan.
Excessive flame is hazardous. Tile high BTU
burnel_ call easily melt cookware handles.
" Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry pot
holder, to prevent movement of the utensil
when stirring or turning fl_od.
, Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
, Always use the LITE position when igniting
the surface burners and make sure tile
burnel_ have ignited.
, Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire. If tile burner flames are smothered
bv a severe boilover which affects tile ignitor,
unburned gas will escape into tile room.
"Do not let pot holders come near open
flames when rifling cookware. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth ill place of a
pot holder.
" To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward tile side or back of
tile range without extending over ac!jacent
btlrnelN.
"Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary till the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air
openings are located at tile top and bottom
of tile oven dooL ill tile fl'ont portion of the
drip tray and at tile bottom of tile backguard.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SUt A CE COOKING
*Always turn the surface burners to OFF"
before removing cookwaxe.
* Carefully watch foods being fried at a lfigh
flame setting.
, Foods for frying should be as dry as
possible. Frost o1, fl'ozen fl_ods or moisture
on fl'esh fl)ods can cause hot fitt to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan.
" Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling
the pan too hill of tht can cause spillovers
when iood is added.
* Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating tht beyond
the smoking point.
* Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep iht fl'yer. Wait until the tht is cool.
, When using glass cookwaxe, make sure it
is designed fin" top-of-range cooking.
* If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together beflwe heating or
as thts melt slowly.
, Do not leave aaay items on the cooktop.
The hot air fl'om the vent may ignite
flammable items and will increase pressm'e
in closed containers, which may cause them
to burst.
*Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers and
spillovers and large enough to cover burner
grate. This will both save cleaning time and
prevent hazardous accmmflations of fl)od,
since hea W spattering or spillovers lef* on the
range can ignite. Use pans with handles that
can be easily grasped and remain cool.
, Keep all plastics away from the top burners.
,Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
" To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls fl)r all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool
beflwe attempting to remove them.
"Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
, Grease is fla_nmal}le. Let hot grease cool
beflwe attempting to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the grill or the
griddle drip trays. Clean these areas after
e;ich rise.
" For proper fighting and performance of the
cooktop burners, keep the burner ports
clean. It may be necessary to clean these
when there is a boilo\ er or when the bm'ner
does not light, even though the electronic
ignitors click.
,After cleaning, it is important to mal<e sure
the cap and burner port are properly aligned
with the burner base. Incorrect alignment
will produce poor burner perfl_rmance.
Never operate the bm'ner without all bm'ner
parts in place.
, Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam
burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth
to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious hinges if applied
to a hot surthce. Follow Faanufilcturer's
directions.
,Do not use the grill for cooking excessively
fatty meats or products which promote
flare-up.
* If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surfhce burners and create a fire hazard.
" Be sure all the range a_ad/or cooktop
controls are turned off and the appliance is
cool befl_re using any type of aerosol cleaner
or cooking spray on or around the appliance.
The chemical that produces the spraying
action could, in the presence of heat, ignite
or cause metal parts to corrode.

All burner grates are designed to suppoiq:

clearances to combustibles, we suggest using
a ii'ont bm'ner for wok cooking.
I,ift out one bm'ner grate at the fi'ont. Turn
it over and replace in the grate ti'ame. The

a rotmd or bowl shaped bottom. This design

Check to be sure that yore" wok fits secm'ely
and is stable when placed on the wok grate.
C_4_UTION: Good wok stability is best achieved
by using round-bottom woks. Flat-bottom woks
are not recommended. Avoid using woks with
extremely smooth, tmtextured, bottom sm'thce
finishes as these may allow undesired rocking
of the wok in the grate cradle,
ATTENTION : Pour obtenir tree bonne

Occasionally grease drippings ignite. These

a second or two. This is normal when cooking
on a barbecue. You mav find it handy to have
a spray bottle filled with water to lightly spray
the flare-up.
If the flare e becomes excessive, rein ove the

Replace the food when the flare-up subsides.
To prevent flare-ups ti'om happening, trim the

use hamburger that is lean, remove the iht
from poultr3, etc.
When turning any kind of meat or poultry,
the melting fht will drop onto the grill radiant
and mav create a flare-up. If this happens,
use a long-handled spatula to move the fi)od
to another area.
Gourmet Radiant TM Tray
Flare ups are minimized because a Gom'met
Radiant ''_Tra> below the grille grate, directs
grease down to the drip pan befl_re it begins

Grill grates
(on some modt,ls)
The two-piece cast stainless steel grill grates are
reversible. Place the side with the two grooved
tabs toward the back of the cooktop.
Tile grate will change color when subjected
to the heat, and as oils cook onto the surthce.
This is normal and does not affect the cooking
perflwmance.
For best results, the grate should be seasoned
beflwe the first use. Seasoning will insure a
stick-resistant cooking surihce. If the grill has
not been used for a period of time, it should
be reseasoned.
To season the grill grate:
1 Clean the grate thoroughly with hot, soapy
water to remove any manufi_cturing oils, etc.
2 Pdnse with a mixture of 2 cups water and
1/2 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.
3 Using a hea W cloth, iub vegetable oil over
the entire surthce of the rack. Do not use
corn oil, as it call get sticky.
4 Place grate into the grill housing. Turn the
bm'ner on to a medium setting. Turn the
burner off when the oil begins to smoke.
Allow grates to cool.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4.
The grill is now ready for use.
One side of the grates (side A) is ridged and
should be tlsed ii)l" fi)ods where you want the
fht to rtm oil such as steak or hambuiger
patties. Tile ridges are sloped so the tht runs
toward the fi'ont of the grill, into a drain hole
and down to a drip tray below.

SideB
The other side of the grate (side B) is designed
fin" delicate foods that need more support
while cooking, such as fish.
Food cooked on this side achieves the same
flavor as tDod cooked on an outdoor grill. The
intense heat from the grill radiant caramelizes
the thts and juices that ate brought to the
surfhce of the food, giving it the barbecued
flavor.

Surface Cooking
Stainless Steel Range
* When turning the meat over, always use
a spatula as it will not puncture the meat
allowing the juices to lun out. This will help
to kee I) the meat juicy. Turn the meat only
once, as juices are lost when the meat is
repeatedly turned. Season or salt the meat
after it has been cooked.
" Be sure to trim any excess tht fl'om meat
or poultry. To prevent steaks or chops fl'om
cm'ling while they are being cooked, slit the
fht at(rand the edges at about 2" inter_als.
To test for doneness, make a small cut in the
center of the meat.
The doneness of meat is affected by the
thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook
a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness.
A steak should be at least l" thick to have it
turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time
is affected by the temperature of the meat
when wm start to cook it, the size and shape
of the cut and the kind of meat you are
cooking. The degree of aloneness desired
also affects the time.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture sa}:s,
"Rare beef is popular, but you should know
that cooking it to only 140°F means some
food poisoning oiganisms may survive."
