Safety Precautions For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or range. Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the range. WARNING RANGE TIPPING HAZARD • All ranges can tip and injury can result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the floor, wall or cabinet by installing the Anti-Tip Device supplied. • A risk of tip-over may exist if the appliance is not installed in accordance with these instructions. • If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning, service or any other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip Device is properly reengaged when the range is pushed back against the wall. In the event of abnormal usage (such as a person standing, sitting, or leaning on an open door), failure to take this precaution can result in tipping of the range. Personal injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself. WARNING The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the oven or cooktop to warm or heat a room. Also, such use can damage the cooktop or oven parts. WARNING NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven. When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns. Never leave the range unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered, unburned gas will escape into the room. See front of this manual, page 1 regarding gas leaks. Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooking on the range burners. This type of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer's directions. Do not heat unopened food containers; a buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst. During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks. Page 5

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves
should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly
flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or range. Use of a foil liner
could result in a shock or fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion
and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped
beneath it. This will upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the
oven or the range.
WARNING RANGE TIPPING HAZARD
•
All ranges can tip and injury can result. To prevent accidental tip-
ping of the range, attach it to the floor, wall or cabinet by installing
the Anti-Tip Device supplied.
•
A risk of tip-over may exist if the appliance is not installed in accor-
dance with these instructions.
•
If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning, service or any
other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip Device is properly reengaged
when the range is pushed back against the wall. In the event of
abnormal usage (such as a person standing, sitting, or leaning on
an open door), failure to take this precaution can result in tipping of
the range. Personal injury might result from spilled hot liquids or
from the range itself.
Safety Precautions
WARNING
The appliance is for cooking.
Based on safety considerations, never
use the oven or cooktop to warm or heat a room. Also, such use can
damage the cooktop or oven parts.
When using the cooktop:
DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE
IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA.
Areas adjacent to the burners may become
hot enough to cause burns.
Never leave the range unattended
when using high flame settings. Boil overs
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. More importantly, if the burner
flames are smothered, unburned gas will escape into the room. See front of this
manual, page 1 regarding gas leaks.
Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cooking on the range burners.
This type
of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium
heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.
Do not heat unopened food containers
; a buildup of pressure may cause the con-
tainer to burst.
During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the
pan and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Proper relationship of cook-
ware to burner flame reduces safety risks.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the
room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and over-
heating of the oven.
