Important Safety Instructions

•  If you receive a damaged product, immediately 

contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a 

damaged appliance.

•  Have the installer show you the location of the gas 

shut off valve and the electrical outlet so that you 

know where and how to turn off the gas supply and 

disconnect power to the range.

•  Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range 

unless specifically recommended in the literature 

accompanying it. A qualified service technician should 

perform all other service.

•  Before performing any type of service, make sure that 

the gas supply is off and the power cord to the range 

is disconnected.

•  Only use this range for cooking tasks expected of a 

home appliance as outlined in this manual. This range 

is not intended for commercial use. This appliance is 

certified only for indoor use.

•  DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE RANGE 

DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. After use, 

make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to 

cool before touching them.

•  NEVER block or cover any slots, holes or passages 

anywhere inside the oven or on the outside of the 

range. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and 

cooktop and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning 

or fire. Keep all slots clear of grease and grime.

•  In the interest of safety, keep the oven door shut 

unless inserting or removing food from the oven or 

when cleaning it.

•  Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a 

power failure. If a power failure occurs while operating 

the cooktop, turn all control knobs to the 

OFF position.

•  Make sure individuals who use the range are able to 

operate it properly.

•  Do not use the oven for storage.
•  Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or 

climb on any part of the range. Doing so may cause 

damage, serious injury or death. Do not leave children 

alone or unattended in the area around the range. Do 

not allow children to play with the controls, pull on the 

handle or touch other parts of the range.

•  Do not store items of interest to children on top of or 

above the range. Children could be burned or injured 

while climbing on the appliance.

•  Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or alter 

any part of the range unless specifically instructed to 

do so in these instructions.

•  Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over 

the range.

•  Do not cover the burners and grates with anything 

except properly selected utensils. Decorative covers 

may cause a fire hazard or damage to the cooktop 

if a burner is accidentally turned on with the cover in 

place.

•  Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby 

food jars and cans. Pressure build up may cause the 

container to burst and cause injury.

•  Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, 

plastic and cloth away from the burners and other 

hot surfaces. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot 

surfaces or gas burners.

•  Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using 

the range. Do not allow clothing to come into contact 

with the range and surrounding areas during and 

immediately after use.

•  Use only dry pot holders when removing food and 

cookware from the cooktop or oven. Wet pot holders 

can cause steam burns.

•  If the range is near a window, do not use long curtains 

as window treatment. The curtains could blow over 

the cooktop and create a fire hazard.

•  To avoid the possibility of fire, do not leave the range 

unattended when in use.

•  Clean the range thoroughly before operating it for the 

first time.

•  Clean and maintain the range regularly as instructed 

in the Care and Cleaning section of this manual. 

Keep the entire range, ventilation filters and range 

hoods free of grease that could catch fire.

•  Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check 

the manufacture’s recommendations before use to 

determine if a utensil is suitable for use with a range. 

Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware 

are not suitable for use with a range. Personal injury 

or damage may result from the improper use of 

cookware.

•  Select cookware carefully. Use utensils of the proper 

size, material and construction for the particular type 

of cooking being done. Utensils need to be large 

enough to contain the desired quantity of food without 

boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose pans with easy to 

hold handles that will stay cool while cooking. Do not 

use utensils with loose handles. Avoid using pans that 

are too heavy to lift safely.
