Installation Guide

Know which knob controls each burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before
turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan. Always turn to the full
LITE position when igniting top burners. Then adjust the flame size so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the utensil.
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, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
Never leave the surface burners unattended. Boilovers may cause smoking, greasy
spillovers may catch fire or a pan which has boiled dry may melt.
Do not place hands between the spring tension hinge and the oven door frame
when you are removing the oven door. You could pinch your fingers.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow
dripping fat or grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not
cover the insert with foil. Exposed fat or grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth. A hot oven light bulb could
break it touched with a damp cloth. Disconnect the electrical service cord or shut off the
power to the oven before removing and replacing the bulb.
Allow parts to cool to room temperature before touching or removing them from
the range. When a surface burner is first turned off, the burner and grate are hot enough
to cause burns.
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of fat or grease which could catch
fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface burner. Exhaust fan
ventilating hoods and grease filters should be clean. Do not allow fat or grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.
An overhead ventilation hood that directs air in a downward manner toward the
appliance is not to be installed in conjunction with this range. Ventilation hoods
that direct air toward a gas range may cause ignition or combustion problems with a gas
cooking appliance resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
Glazed cooking utensils: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking,
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations
for rangetop use.
