COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
■ N ever leave the surface burners unattended at
medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially
oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could
spread to surrounding cabinets.
■ N ever leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed
to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding
cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
■ T o avoid oil spillover and fire, use the minimum
amount of oil when using a shallow pan-frying
and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive
amounts of ice.
■ U se proper pan size and avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that is
matched to the size of the burner. Burner flames
should be adjusted so that they do not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame
may be hazardous.
■ A lways use the LITE position when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.
OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes,
or passages in the oven bottom or cover an
entire rack with materials such as aluminum
foil or oven liners. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Never place foil or oven
liners on the oven bottom. They can trap heat
causing risk of smoke or fire.
■ Stand away from the range when opening the
oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■ Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking
stones, or any type of foil or liner on the oven
floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting
in damage to the product and risk of shock,
smoke or fire.

■ W hen using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure
it is suitable for cooktop service; others may
break because of sudden change in temperature.
■ T o minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of
the range without extending over nearby burners.
■ D o not use a wok with a round metal support
ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the
burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.
■ D o not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may
damage the gas tubing to the surface burners
resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.
■ W hen disabling Lock Control (on some models),
make sure the surface controls are set to the
OFF position. This will prevent unintended gas
flow from the burners.
■ D o not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or
line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the
cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.
■ Place oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot,
be careful to avoid touching hot surfaces.
■ Do not leave items such as paper, cooking
utensils, or food in the oven when not in use.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
■ Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven
vent. Items may overheat resulting in a risk of fire
or burns.
■ Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is
not permitted due to overheating of control knobs.
