IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
• Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described
in this owner's manual.
• Have your range installed and properly grounded by
a qualified installer in accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
• Any adjustment and service should be performed only by
a qualified gas range installer or service technician. Do
not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range
unless it is specifically recommended in this manual.
• Your range is shipped from the factory set for use with
natural gas. It can be converted for use with propane
gas. If required, these adjustments must be made by a
qualified technician in accordance with the installation
instructions and local codes. The agency performing
this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
• Have the installer show you the location of the range
gas shut-off valve and how to turn it off if necessary.
• Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only.
Do not remove the round grounding prong from the
plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home
electrical system, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly
grounded, three prong outlet in accordance with the
National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord
with this appliance.
• Before performing any service, unplug the range
or disconnect the power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off
the circuit breaker.
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the range
before operating to prevent ignition of these materials.
• Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cooktops, or
control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do
not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire, or
cuts may occur.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
CAUTION
• Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above an oven - children climbing
on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They
provide the air inlets and outlets 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 warming drawer, lower oven
drawer or kick panel.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not
let pot holders touch surface burners, burner grate, or
oven heating element. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth in place of pot holders.
• Do not touch the heating elements or the interior
surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot
enough to burn even though they are dark in color.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact any interior area of
the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough
to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the
burners, grates, oven vent opening, surfaces near the
opening, and crevices around the oven door.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could
build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
• Cook food thoroughly to help protect against
foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature
recommendations can be found at
www.IsItDoneYet.gov and www.fsis.usda.gov. Use
a food thermometer to take food temperatures and
check several locations.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven
door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range
or tip it over causing severe injury or death.
