. nge Safety
Your safety is important to us.
This guide contains safety symbols and
statements. Please pay special attention to
these symbols and follow any instructions
given. Here is a brief explanation of the use
of the symbol.
This symbol alerts you
to hazards such as
fire, electrical shock,
or other injuries.
Tip Over Hazard
Connect anti-tip bracket to the range.
Reconnect anti-Up bracket, if the range is moved.
Do not push down on the open oven door.
Follow the Installation Instructions.
Do not let children climb onto the oven door.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, burns,
or other injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Gas ranges have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with
any appliance, there are specific installation and safety precautions which must be followed
to ensure safe and satisfactory operation.
WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
- WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
•Do not try to light any appliance.
•Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in
your building.
•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone.
Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
- Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.

nge Safety
General
•Install or locate the range only in
accordance with the provided Installa-
tion Instructions. The range must be
installed by a qualified installer. The
range must be properly connected to
the proper gas supply and checked for
leaks. The range must also be properly
connected to electrical supply and
grounded.
• Gas fuels and their use in appliances
could cause minor exposures to ben-
zene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide,
and soot, primarily from incomplete
combustion. Significant exposure to
these substances could cause cancer or
reproductive harm. Properly adjusted
burners with a blue, rather than a
yellow, flame will minimize incomplete
combustion. Venting with a hood or an
open window will further minimize
exposure.
oWARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping
the appliance, the appliance must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip
bracket. To check if the bracket is
installed properly, see "The anti-tip
bracket" on page 11.
• CAUTION: Do not store things children
might want above the range. Children
could be burned or injured while climb-
ing on it.
• Do not leave children alone or unat-
tended in area where the range is in
use. They should never be allowed to -
sit or stand on any part of the range.
They could be burned or injured.
• Do not operate the range if it is dam-
aged or not working properly.
• Do not use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
•Do not attempt to light the oven burner
during a power failure. Personal injury
could result. Reset oven controls to the
off position in the event of a power failure.
• Use the range only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
Do not touch surface burners, areas near
burners, or interior surfaces of oven.
Areas near surface burners and interior
surfaces of an oven become hot enough
to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flam-
mable materials contact surface burners,
areas near burners, or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Other surfaces of the range, such as
the oven vent opening, the surface near
the vent opening, the cooktop, and the
oven door and window, could also
become hot enough to cause burns.
•Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the range. They could ignite if
they touch an open flame and you could
be burned.

. nge Safety
•Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot
holder touch an open flame. Do not use
a towel or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It
could catch on fire.
•Keep range vents unobstructed.
•Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
• Use only cookware approved for oven
use. Follow cookware manufacturer's
instructions, especially when using
glass or plastic cookware.
• Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
• Do not use the oven for storage.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line area
around surface burner, oven bottom,
or any other part of the range. Use
aluminum foil only as recommended
in this manual.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified technician.
• Any additions, changes, or conversions
required in order for this appliance to
satisfactorily meet the application needs
must be made by a KitchenAid servicer
or qualified agency.
• Disconnect the electrical supplyand the
gas supply at the shutoff valve near
range before servicing the range.
When using the cooktop
• Make sure the cookware you use is large
enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splatter-
ing or spillovers left on a cooktop could
ignite and burn you. Pan size is espe-
cially important in deep fat frying.
• Check to be sure glass cookware is
safe for use on the range. Only certain
types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed cookware
are suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden change
in temperature.
• Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that could ignite.
• Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface burners. This will help
reduce the chance of burns, igniting of
flammable materials, and spills due to
bumping of the pan.
• Do not use decorative covers or trivets
over the surface burners.
• Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop or in
vent. Wipe spillovers immediately.
6

. nge Safety
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan on range by covering with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray.
Flaming grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if
available, a multipurpose dry chemical
or foam-type extinguisher.
• Never use a match or other flame to
look for a gas leak. Explosion and injury
could result.
• Know where your main gas shutoff
valve is located.
When using the oven
•Always position oven rack(s) in desired
location while oven is cool.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks, and
other cookware. Do not use your oven to
clean miscellaneous parts unless you
are instructed to do so in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Do not clean door gasket. It is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
Clean only parts recommended in this
Use and Care Guide.
• Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
• Small amounts of formaldehyde and
carbon monoxide are given off in the
Self-Cleaning cycle from fiberglass
insulation and food decomposition.
Significant exposure to these substances
could cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Exposure can be minimized by
venting with a hood or open window
and wiping out excess food spills prior
to self-cleaning.
