IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may cause burns from steam. DO NOT use a towel
or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. DO NOT let
potholders touch hot elements, hot burners, or burner
grates.
NEVER leave the range unattended when using high flame
settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite. Also, if the STAR burner flames and igniter
is smothered with spillage, unburned gas will escape into the
room. See page 4 regarding gas leaks.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
•
Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet,
or other metal tray, then turn off the gas STAR
burner or the electric element. Be careful to prevent
burns. If the flames do not go out immediately,
evacuate and call the fire department.
•
NEVER pick up a flaming pan — You may be
burned.
•
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or
towels — a violent steam explosion will result.
•
Use an extinguisher only if:
•
You know you have a class ABC extinguisher
and you already know how to operate it.
•
The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
•
The fire department is being called.
•
You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
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 ovens.
DO NOT use aluminum foil to line any part of the ovens 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 ovens or the
range.
When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER
GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA.
Important Safety Instructions
Areas adjacent to the STAR
enough to cause burns.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the ovens
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the ovens.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
WARNING
The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety
considerations, NEVER use the ovens or cooktop to
warm or heat a room. Also, such use can damage the
cooktop or oven parts.

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.
Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable
for cooking on the range STAR burners. This type of
cookware may break with sudden temperature changes.
Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the
utensil manufacturer's directions.
DO NOT heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
During cooking, set the STAR burner control so that the
flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
