IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
shall not be used in conjunction with a gas range
unless the hood and range have been designed and
tested in accordance with the Standard for Domestic
Gas Ranges, ANSI Z21.1 • CSA 1.1, and listed by an
independent testing laboratory for combination use.
▶ When flambéing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil.
Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may
▶
cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
▶ Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
WARNING
IN CASE OF AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE
If a gas control knob is turned ON and there is no
▶
electrical power to operate the electronic igniters on the
burners, turn OFF the gas control knob and wait
5 minutes for the gas to dissipate before lighting the
burner manually.
▶ To light the burners manually, carefully hold a lighted
match to the burner ports and turn the gas control knob
to HI. During a power failure, you can use the standard
burners, but each must be lit with a match.
Do not attempt to light an XLO® burner manually.
▶
These burners are equipped with the ExtraLow®
feature and cannot be lit manually.
CAUTION
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above
a range or on the backguard of a range. Children climbing
on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
WARNING

and for several minutes after the appliance is off. Some
parts of the vent and surrounding areas become hot
enough to cause burns. Allow appliance sufficient time
to cool before touching or cleaning vent areas.
▶ Do not position plastic or other heat-sensitive items on
or near the vent. These items could melt or ignite.
▶ To provide proper ventilation of the range do not
remove range feet.
WARNING
Do not allow meat probes or other utensils to come into
contact with the heating elements.
