SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Ŷ Never 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.

Ŷ Never 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. 

Ŷ To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum 

amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid 
cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of 
ice.

Ŷ Use 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.

Ŷ Always use the LITE position when igniting the 

top burners and make sure the burners have 
ignited.

Ŷ When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure 

it is suitable for cooktop service; others may 
break because of sudden change in temperature.

Ŷ To 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.

Ŷ When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn 

the fan on.

Ŷ Do 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.

Ŷ Do 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.

Ŷ When 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.

Ŷ Do 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.

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

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.

Ŷ Use this appliance for its intended purpose as 

described in this owner’s manual.

Ŷ 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.

Ŷ Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease 

in the oven may ignite.

Ŷ 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.

Ŷ Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when 

loading and unloading food from the oven. This 
helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces 
of the door and oven walls.

Ŷ 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.

Ŷ Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven 

vent which is in the center of the backguard. Items 
may overheat resulting in a risk of fire or burns.

Ŷ When using cooking or roasting bags in the 

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

Ŷ Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is 

not permitted due to overheating of control knobs.
