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.

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.

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.

Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the grate or with one that spans more than one burner, such as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This can result in poor combustion that generates harmful by-products.

Use caution to insure that drafts like those from forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pot.

Always use utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized utensils could expose a portion of the flame and may result in ignition of clothing.

Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc., should never be used on the cooktop.

Do not use flammable cleaners to clean the range.

To minimize the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spillage, position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the range's cooktop.

Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

DO NOT use pots or pans on the grill plate accessory.

Do not use the grill plate accessory for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.

The optional cutting board accessory must be removed before operating the griddle beneath it or burners adjacent to it.

GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect. Clean after each use.

For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light even
