Important Safety Information
Save these instructions for future reference.
Do not
touch cook top burners or areas near
burners
Gas burners may be hot even if they have been
off for some time. Areas near the gas burners
may become hot enough to cause burns. During
and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
touch or other flammable materials contact the
burners or areas near the burners until they have
had enough time to cool. These areas include
the rangetop and backguard.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVENS
Oven and Broiler heating elements may be hot
though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of
an oven or broiler may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials
touch heating elements or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had enough time to cool.
Other range surfaces that may become hot
enough to cause burns are the oven door and
oven vent at the base of the range splashback.
Wear Suitable Clothing
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes
while using the range. Be careful when reaching
for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop.
Flammable material could be ignited if brought
in contact with a burner flame or hot surface
and may cause severe burns.
Use Only Dry Potholders or Oven Gloves
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Never let a potholder
touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place
of a glove. They might catch fire if they touch a
hot surface.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable - using
damp gloves might result in steam burns when
you touch a hot surface. Never operate the
range with wet hands.
Important Safety Notice and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires
the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.
This appliance contains or produces a chemical or
chemicals which can cause death or serious illness
and which are known to the state of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the
burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to
some of the listed substances, including benzene,
formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the
incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid
petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners
will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances can also be minimized by
properly venting the burners to the outdoors.
To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or
from fuel combustion make sure this appliance is
