SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Ŷ
Never leave the surface burners unattended at
medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially
oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could
spread to surrounding cabinets.
Ŷ
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed
to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding
cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
Ŷ
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum
amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid
cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of
ice.
Ŷ
Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that is
matched to the size of the burner. Burner flames
should be adjusted so that they do not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame
may be hazardous.
Ŷ
Always use the LITE position when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.
Ŷ
When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure
it is suitable for cooktop service; others may
break because of sudden change in temperature.
Ŷ
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of
the range without extending over nearby burners.
Ŷ
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn
the fan on.
Ŷ
Do not use a wok with a round metal support
ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the
burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.
Ŷ
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may
damage the gas tubing to the surface burners
resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.
Ŷ
When disabling Lock Control (on some models),
make sure the surface controls are set to the
OFF position. This will prevent unintended gas
flow from the burners.
Ŷ
Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or
line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the
cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

WARNING
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots,
holes, or passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil or oven liners. Doing so blocks
air flow through the oven and may cause
carbon monoxide poisoning. Never place foil
or oven liners on the oven bottom. They can
trap heat causing risk of smoke or fire.
Ŷ
Use this appliance for its intended purpose as
described in this owner’s manual.
Ŷ
Stand away from the range when opening the
oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
Ŷ
Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease
in the oven may ignite.
Ŷ
Place oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot,
be careful to avoid touching hot surfaces.
Ŷ
Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when
loading and unloading food from the oven. This
helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces
of the door and oven walls.
Ŷ
Do not leave items such as paper, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
Ŷ
Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven
vent which is in the center of the backguard. Items
may overheat resulting in a risk of fire or burns.
Ŷ
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Ŷ
Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is
not permitted due to overheating of control knobs.
