IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

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 cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm, and requires

businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such

substances.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface burner.

Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on,

and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

• Always turn knob to the full LITE position when

igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit.

Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the

edge of the utensil.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not

extend over adjacent surface burners—To reduce

the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and

spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the

handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is

turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent

surface burners.

• Never leave surface burners unattended at high

heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry

may melt.

• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking

due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn

the fan on.

WARNING

Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it does

not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of

undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner

flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of

clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also

improve efficiency.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door , warmer

drawer or lower oven door—Stand to the side of the

range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or

steam escape before you remove or replace food in the

oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent

is located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in

this area when the oven is operating may cause severe

burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items

on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or

ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be

moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use

potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to

reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating

elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack

before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The

broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and

be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.

Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the

oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in

this manual. Improper installation of these liners may

result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

• Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which

operate by blowing a downward air flow on to a range,

shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other

than when the hood and range have been designed,

tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for

use in combination with each other.
