• Do not leave children alone_Children should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
• DO NOTTOUCH SURFACEBURNERS, AREASNEAR
THESE BURNERS,OVEN HEATING ELEMENTSOR
INTERIOR SURFACESOFTHE OVEN ORWARMER
DRAWER (if equipped). Boths_Jrfaceburners and oven
heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color.Areas near surface burnersmay become hot enough
to causeburns. During and after use,do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials touch these-areas
until they havehad sufficienttime to cool.Among these
areas are the cooktop, surfacesfacing the cooktop, the
oven vent openings and surfacesnear these openings,
oven door andwindow.
• Wear proper apparelmLoose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be wQrn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing orother flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
Use proper pan size---Adjust flame size
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
The useof undersized utensilswill expose a portion of the
burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensilto flamewill also
improve efficiency.
Do not usestove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top g'rill on a
sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and
can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levelsabove
allowable current standards. This can be hazardous te-your
health.
Electronic controllers can be damaged by
cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the
first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of
time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°(_/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.
IMPORTANT INSTRUJCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Always turn the knobto the LITEpositionwhen igniting
the burners.Visually checkthat burner haslit. Then adjust
the flame so itdoes not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires_Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fator
grease may catch fire ifallowed to become too hot.
Use proper pan size. This appliance isequipped with one
or more surface burnersof different sizes.Selectutensils
having flat bottoms largeenough to coverthe surface
burner. The useof undersizedutensilswill exposea portion
of the surfaceburner to directcontact and may resultin
ignition of clothing. Properrelationshipof utensilto the
surface burner will also improve efficiency.
In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to turn
off the main gas shutoff valve.
• Use only dry potholders--Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers--Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is
to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the oven off. If the oven isnot turned off and the power
resumes,the oven may begin to operate again (Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.)
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners. To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings---Boilovers causesmokingand greasy
accumulations that may ignite, or a pan that hasboiled dry
may melt.
Protective liners_Do not (Jsealuminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if usedas a
cover placedon the food. Any other useof protective
