IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
I
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic
path and out of drafty locations to prevent
pilot outage (on standing pilot models)
and poor air circulation.
I
Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the range before operating it to
prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packaging material ignite.
I
Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer
for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is
to be used. Your range can be converted
for use with either type of gas. See the
Installation of the range section.
WARNING:
I
be made by a qualified service technician
in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and all codes and requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury or property damage. The
qualified agency performing this work
assumes responsibility for the conversion.
I
Be careful when you clean the cooktop
because the area over the pilot (on
standing pilot models) will be hot.
I
After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of
use. Never install the range over vinyl tile
or linoleum that cannot withstand such
type of use. Never install it directly over
interior kitchen carpeting.
I
Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
I
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the oven door, broiler door or
cooktop. They could damage the range
and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
CAUTION:
I
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of a
range—children climbing on the range
4 to reach items could be seriously injured.

I
Clean only parts listed in this Owner's
Manual.
I
Never wear loose fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. Be
careful when reaching for items stored in
cabinets over the range. Flammable
material could be ignited if brought in
contact with flame or hot oven surfaces
and may cause severe burns.
I
Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range broiler or near a cooktop.
I
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
I
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.
I
Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface
burner by covering the pan completely
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
I
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
I
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the control to off or by using a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
I
Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving
them where children can reach them.
I
Never block the vents (air openings) of
the range. They provide the air inlet and
outlet that are necessary for the range to
operate properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the
oven door, and at the bottom of the range
under the broiler door.
I
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.
