This range must be properly located and installed in accordance with the
installation instructions before it is used.
Professional installation is strongly recommended.
Due to the size and weight of the range, it is highly recommended that two or
more people move or install this appliance.
All ranges can tip over and cause severe injuries. Install the anti-tip device
packed with this range following the instructions found in the Installation
Instructions.
Never try to repair or replace this appliance on your own unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. This appliance should be serviced only by a
qualified service technician.
Know the location of the gas shut-o valve and how to shut it o if necessary.
Properly remove or destroy the packaging materials after the appliance is
unpacked.

Unplug or disconnect power before servicing.
Do not tamper with the controls. Grates and griddles (if equipped) are heavy.
They can be dangerous if dropped.
The inner portion of the split oven rack (if equipped) could drop down
accidentally if not assembled properly. Place the inner rack in the proper
position within the outer rack.

Do not store any object of interest to children on the cooktop or backguard
of the range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be killed or
seriously injured.
The inner rack of the Split Rack can be dropped if it is not assembled properly.
Place the Inner rack in the proper place on the Outer rack. Always insert the
rack or split rack assembly (if equipped) on the same level of the oven cavity
side.
Keep all packaging materials out of reach of children. Children may play with
them. Failure to dispose of plastic bags could result in suocation.
Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area where a range is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of a range.
Do not let little children touch the range.
The cooktop grates and griddle (if equipped) are heavy and presents a risk of
injury if dropped on a foot. Teach children not to touch or play with grates or
griddle.
Teach children not to touch or play with the controls or any part of the range.
We recommend you utilize the control / door lockout feature to reduce the risk
of mis-use by children.
Before disposing of the range, cut o the power cord to prevent it being
connected to a power source. Remove the door to prevent children and
animals from getting trapped.

Do not touch oven burners, drawer burners, or interior surfaces of the oven.
Cooking surfaces, grates, cooktop burners and caps, as well as oven walls
may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior oven surfaces can
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact oven burners, drawer burners, or
interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sucient time to cool.
Do not let a pot holder touch a hot heating element. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth as a pot holder.
Do not use your range to heat unopened food containers or to dry wet stu.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Clean vents frequently to avoid grease
buildup. See page 55. There can be slight popping sound during oven
cooking. This sound may occur during normal oven burner cycling, when the
oven burner flame is extinguished.

Never use your range for any purposes but cooking. Doing so could result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and/or overheating of the oven.
Loose-fitting or hanging garments should not be worn while using this
appliance.
DO NOT STORE OR USE combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable
vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this appliance. See “WHAT TO DO IF YOU
SMELL GAS” under the Gas Warnings.
Do not pour water into the cooktop well while cleaning the cooktop. This could
leak down into the range gas and electrical systems causing a risk of electrical
shock or high levels of Carbon Monoxide, due to corrosion of fuel orifices.
Do not use water on a grease fire. Water might cause a grease fire to explode,
spreading the fire and creating a larger fire and health hazard. Turn o heat
source and smother with tight-fitting lid or use a multipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoke, and greasy spillovers could ignite.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks. Use a soapy water mixture around
the area you are checking instead.
Do not place portable appliances, or any other object other than cookware on
the cooktop. Damage or fire could occur if the cooktop is hot.
Do not attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, or
has missing or broken parts.
Never place plastic, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven
vents or any of the surface burners.
If the self-clean mode malfunctions, turn the oven o and disconnect the power
supply. Refer to pages 77 and 78 to contact a qualified service technician.
There can be slight popping sound during oven cooking.

Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or placing food in a hot oven.
Use only dry pot holders. Putting moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam.

– The burner spreader can be blocked by food or dust. Clean the spreader
if it appears blocked. If you clean the spreader with water, assemble it only
after it is completely dry. If the spreader is wet, it might prevent the burners
from igniting.
– Do not pour water on the cooktop for cleaning. It can get inside the range
and cause the parts inside to rust.
– Only ignite the cooktop burners with the burner caps in place. If the
burner caps are not in place, you can damage the controls or cause an
unintended large or dangerous flame.
– Heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling. To prevent
delayed eruptive boiling, ALWAYS allow heated beverages to stand at least
20 seconds after you have turned the burner o so that the temperature
in the liquid can stabilize. In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID
instructions:
• Immersethescaldedareaincoldwaterforatleast10minutes

• Donotapplyanycreams,oilsorlotions
– The‘Sparkmark’ontheDualburnerspreadermustbeplacedbesidethe
electrode when it is assembled to prevent an abnormal flame.
– After turning on a surface burner, check to make sure that the burner has
ignited. Adjust the level of the flame by turning the burner knob.
– When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the burner knob quickly.
Watch the flame to make sure it stays on.

Installation of this range must conform with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA.54, latest
edition. In Canada, installation must conform with the current Natural Gas
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the current Propane Installation Code,
CAN/CGA-B149.2, and with local codes where applicable. This range has
been design-certified by ETL according to ANSI Z21.1, latest edition, and
Canadian Gas Association according to CAN/CGA-1.1, latest edition.
Do not install the appliance at a place which is exposed strong draft.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service
agency, or gas supplier.
Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut-o valve and how to

10_ important safety instructions
CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING
WATER AND TOXIC
ENFORCEMENT ACT
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.
WARNING
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances,
namely, 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 yellow flame, will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with
an open window or by using a ventilation fan or hood.
IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF
MASSACHUSETTS
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter qualified or
licensed by the State of Massachusetts.
When using ball-type gas shut-o valves, they shall be the T-handle type.
Multiple flexible gas lines must not be connected in series.
