IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act r equires the Gover nor of Califor nia to publish
a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these
substances, namely benzene, car bon monoxide, for malde-
hyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combus-
tion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners,
indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will mini-
mize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances
can also be minimized by venting with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as alumi-
num foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil lin-
ings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
To reduce the risk of the appliance tipping, it must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip device. To check
if this device is installed properly, remove the broiler
drawer to inspect the anti-tip bracket or grasp the top
rear edge of the range and carefully attempt to tilt it for-
ward to make sure the range is properly anchored.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to
this manual. For assistance or additional information consult
a qualified installer, service agency, manufacturer (dealer) or
the gas supplier.
WARNING
To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, disconnect the
power supply before servicing this unit.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the oven.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
—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
—-Installation and service must be performed by
a qualified installer, service agency or gas sup-
plier.
—-Have the gas system checked and leakage
source corrected by a qualified installer,
service agency, manufacturer or dealer or the
gas supplier.
WARNING: If the information in this
manual is not followed exactly, a fire or
explosion may result, causing property
damage, personal injury or death.
 Extinguish any open flame.
 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 suppli-
er’s instructions.
 If you cannot reach your gas supplier,
call the fire department.
WARNING
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Install the anti-tip device to the floor or the wall of
the structure.
Engage the range to the anti-tip device that is fas-
tened to the wall or the floor.
Re-engage the anti-tip device if the range is moved.
Failure to do so can result in death or serious
burns to children or adults.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
15. DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED CONTAINERS OR FOOD ON SURFACE BURNERS OR IN THE
OVEN. Buildup of pressur e may cause the container to bur st and result in serious personal har m
and/or damage to the range.
16. ALUMINUM FOIL WHEN USED IMPROPERLY IS A CAUSE OF MANY RANGE PROBLEMS.
See the oven and broiler sections of this book for instructions for proper use.
17. GREASE IS FLAMMABLE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED CAREFULLY. Avoid letting gr ease
deposits collect around the range or in vent fans. Let quantities of hot fat, a pan of deep fat for example,
cool before attempting to move it. If a grease fire should occur in a pan, put out the flame by placing a lid
on the pan. DO NOT throw water on a grease fire. Do not turn on the vent hood. Use a dry chemical or
foam type fire extinguisher. If a fire should occur in the oven or broiler, turn off the oven, close the oven
door and broiler door to allow the food or grease to burn itself out in the oven. If smoke or fire persist, call
you local fire department.
18. AVOID THE USE OF AEROSOL SPRAYS NEAR A RANGE AS MOST ARE FLAMMABLE.
19. NEVER LEAVE SURFACE BURNERS UNATTENDED AT HIGH OR MEDIUM FLAME
SETTINGS. Adjust top bur ner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookwar e.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
20. DO NOT TOUCH THE INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN DURING OR IMMEDIATELY.
AFTER USE. Do not let clothing or other flammable mater ials contact burner s. Although these sur
faces may be dark in color they can still be hot enough to burn. Other areas of the range can become hot
enough to cause burns, such as vent openings, main top, window, oven door, broiler door and oven racks.
22. DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OR COMBUSTION OR VENTILATION AIR.
23. BE SURE ALL PACKING MATERIALS ARE REMOVED FROM THE RANGE before operating
it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packing material ignite.
24. LEAK TESTING OF THE APPLIANCE SHALL BE CONDUCTED ACCORDING TO THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
25. THIS RANGE IS NOT TO BE INSTALLED WITH OVERHEAD RANGE HOODS WHICH
OPERATE BY BLOWING A DOWNWARD AIRFLOW OR AIR CURTAIN ONTO THE RANGE.
This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with your gas cooking
appliance resulting in personal injury or unintended operations.
UNPACKING:
Remove all tape, wrapping paper, and packing material from the
exterior of the range. Be sure to remove the protective plastic from
control panel and all stainless parts of the range.
Remove all packing from the oven or broiler compartments.

SURFACE COOKING
BURNER LIGHTING SOURCE
The burners on your range need an electrical source to ignite the
burners. The electricity required to light the burners may come
from an electrical outlet or from a battery power pack. Ranges
without a power cord have a battery power pack located in the
lower right corner of the range.
In either case your new range is equipped with automatic igni-
tion top burners. Each burner can be controlled to provide heat
from the highest “full on” to the very low “keep warm”. The
burner knob can be set to any position for the flame desired.

FOR BEST RESULTS
The gas burner adjust to any flame desired and al-
lows you to tailor the flame to fit any pan large or
small.
Always position the utensil on the burner grate BE-
FORE lighting the burner. FOR YOUR SAFETY,
the flame should not extend beyond the sides of the
pan.

POWER PACK
Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE or START position. On Electric Spark Ignition Models, you
will hear a clicking sound indicating the proper operation of the spark module. After the burner ignites, turn
the knob to adjust the flame size. NOTE: ALL IGNITORS WILL SPARK WHEN ANY CONTROL KNOB
IS TURNED TO THE LITE POSITION.
