• 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.
• Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a
stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will
cause incomplete combustion and can result
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards. This can be
hazardous to your health.
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 the 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.
• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface burners
of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface
burner. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the surface heating unit
to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the
surface unit will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward
and Should 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—
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum
foil to line oven bottom or any other part of
the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover
placed on the food. Any other used of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.
• 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.
• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop.
The searing grill is not designed for use on the
cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface burner
Covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on,
the decorative cover will become hot and
possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers
are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop or burners because the covers may
cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the
burner and cause combustion problems.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Door or Drawer—
Stand to the side of the appliance when opening
the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace food in
the oven/warmer drawer.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The
oven is vented at the front above the oven door
or through the rear of cooktop. 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/Warmer Drawer (if
equipped) Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven/drawer (if equipped)
is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack
before removing rack. 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 oven element or interior of the oven/warmer
drawer (if equipped).
