may cause carbon monoxide poisoning and overheat the oven.
Do NOT cover the rear vent on the range, the internal cavity holes, or
cover the space at the bottom of the oven door. Never cover the rack
completely with materials like aluminum foil or any other flammable
objects. Doing this can cause an air flow block; carbon monoxide
poisoning, fire, or explosions may occur as a result.
•The range must be separated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing that is equal to or less than
1/2psi(3.SKPa).
•Do NOT touch surface burners, space near these burners,
the oven burners, or any interior surfaces of the warmer
drawers or oven.
6IPage

During and after use, do NOT touch or allow flammable
materials, objects, or clothing to touch or come into contact with
these areas until they have cooled down. Any burners, surface
or oven, may be hot even though flames are not visible. These
burners may still be hot enough to inflict burns or injuries.
•DO NOT wear loose fitting or clothing that hangs while
operating this range, as these items could catch fire and
cause serious injury or property damage.
•When heating grease, oil, or fat, watch it closely. Oils,
fats, or grease can catch fire if they become too hot. In
the event of a grease or oil fire, smother the fire with the
pan lid, use baking soda, a dry chemical, or foam-type fire
extinguishers. DO NOT USE WATER OR FLOUR!
•The space in which the range is installed should be
constructed so that the range is framed in and guarded
to prevent space around the range.
& WARNING
Gas leaks may occur in the system and result in dangerous

•Upon storage or disposal of the appliance, please remove
the oven door before doing so.
CAUTION: Never attempt to utilize the range during a power
failure. During the event the power fails during use, always shut
off the oven, as your appliance may turn on unsupervised as the
power restores.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKTOP USAGE:
•Using the correct flame size: The flame should be
adjusted so that it does not reach beyond the edge of your
utensils, such as a pot or pan. Undersized utensils may
expose a portion of the burner and flame, which may result
in the combustion of fabric or clothing if they make contact
with the flame. Using correctly sized pots or pans will
improve efficiency and safety.
•Do not use stove top grills on a sealed gas burner, doing
so may cause incomplete combustion, and this may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning.
•Please memorize the knobs and their corresponding
burners which they control. Always place a pan on the
burner before starting a flame. Always turn off the burner
before removing the pan.
•Always turn the knob all the way to the "Light" mark when
igniting the range's top burners. Always then check to see if
flames are visible, ensuring that the burner is then lit.
•Do NOT face pot or pan handles outward. They should
always be facing inward but not directly over another flame.
This practice can reduce the risk of serious burns, spillage,
or even the combustion of flammable items or materials in
the event there is accidental contact with the handle.
•Do NOT leave the range's top burners on a high heat
setting unattended. Failure to supervise can result in a boil
over, which can cause smoke or a grease fire.
8IPage

•Protective Sheets: Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven
bottom or burner pans, unless suggested by this manual. The improper
use or installation of these sheets and liners can increase the risk of
electrical shock or fire.
•NEVER use a searing grill on the cooktop: Searing grills
are not designed for use on this range. The utilization of a searing grill
can cause a fire.
•NEVER use a decorative burner cover: In the event that
a burner is turned on accidentally, the covers could become too hot,
could possibly melt, or combust. This can also result in damage to the
range from overheating and can cause ignition and combustion
problems.
•Cooking utensils that are glazed: Please only use certain
types of ceramic, glass, or glazed utensils that are designed for use on
a cooktop. Avoid the use of these utensils when possible.
CRITICAL INSTRUCTION FOR OVEN USE:
•Take caution when opening the oven door when the
oven or warmer drawer is in use: Upon opening the oven
door, stand to the side of the range instead of facing directly toward
the range. Let all steam or hot air exit before you proceed to replace or
remove f ood.
•Do NOT obstruct oven vent ducts: The vent for the oven
is located at the center rear of the cooktop. Making contact with the
surface in this area while the oven is in use could cause potential
burns or serious injury.
•Never move oven racks when the oven is hot: Please
only move oven racks when the oven is cool. However, If a rack MUST
be moved while the oven is in use please exercise extreme caution.
Use potholders and grasp the oven rack with both hands. Never allow
potholders or yourself to come into contact with the heating elements in
the warmer drawer or oven. Alwa ys remove all utensils and items before
attempting to move the rack.

•Always use a broiler pan with an insert: The broiler pan
insert allows dripping oil and fat to drain away from the
broiler.
•Never cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil:
Grease and fat could ignite and catch fire if exposed.
•Never touch the interior of the oven or heating
elements: The oven's heating elements, despite being
dark in appearance, could be very hot and could cause
burns or serious injury.
•Never touch any areas on or near the vent panel (back
of product): The vent panel may be hot during use, and
could cause burns.
Cleaning Instructions
