IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Keep this book for later use.
Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly by a
qualified technician.
Always keep the range area clear and free from things that
will burn, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Only some kinds of glass or ceramic pans can be used for
cooktop cooking. Be sure that the pan you use will not break
when heated on the cooktop burners.
Always change oven rack positions while oven is cool.
After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the oven and
clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler pan can catch on tire
next time you use the pan.
Always use dry potholders when removing pans from the
oven or cooktop. Moist or damp potholders can cause steam
burns.
Always use care when opening oven door. Let hot air and
steam out before moving food.
Always follow cleaning instructions in this book.
Never try to repair or replace any part of the oven unless
instructions are given in this book. All other work should be
done by a skilled technician.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure buildup
may make container burst and cause injury.
Never leave jars or cans of fat or drippings near the oven.
Never let grease build up on your oven. You can keep
grease fires from starting if you clean up grease and spills
after each oven use.
Never use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. Improper use
of foil could start a fire and cause incomplete combustion.

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
customersof potential exposure to such substances. Gas ap­
pliances can cause minor exposure to four of these sub­
stances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde
and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of
natural gas or L.P. fuels. Properly adjusted ranges, indi­
cated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can
be minimized further by venting with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
