DO NOT Leave Children Alone or Unattended!

Babies, toddlers and young children should not be allowed 

near the range at any time. They should never be allowed to 

sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The 

weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, 

resulting in serious burns or other injury.
Teach them not to play with controls or any other part of the 

range.
Never store items of interest to children in the cabinets above 

a range or on the backguard of a range; children climbing on 

the range to reach them could be seriously injured.

DO NOT use the oven for storage.

This instruction is based on safety considerations.
Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, or near 

the cooktop burners. This includes paper, plastic and cloth 

items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as 

flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol 

cans, on or near the appliance.
Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or 

property damage.
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, 

make sure your range has been properly grounded and 

always disconnect it from the main power supply before 

servicing.

DO NOT touch cooktop burners or areas near 

burners.

Gas burners may be hot even if they have been off for 

some time. Areas near the gas burners may become hot 

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, 

or let clothing touch or other flammable materials contact 

the burners or areas near the burners until they have had 

enough time to cool. These areas include the rangetop and 

backguard.



DO NOT touch heating elements or interior surfaces 

of ovens.

Oven heating elements may be hot though they are dark 

in color. Interior surfaces of an oven may become hot 

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, 

or let clothing or other flammable materials touch heating 

elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had 

enough time to cool.
Other range surfaces that may become hot enough to cause 

burns are the oven door and oven vent at the base of the 

range back splash.

Wear Suitable Clothing

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while using the 

range. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets 

over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if 

brought into contact with a burner flame or hot surface and 

may cause severe burns. 

Use Only Dry Potholders or Oven Gloves

Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns 

from steam. Never let a potholder touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove. 

They might catch fire if they touch a hot surface.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves 

might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface. 

Never operate the range with wet hands.

Important Safety Notice and Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act 

of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to 

publish a list of substances known to the State of California to 

cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses 

to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances. 
This appliance contains or produces a chemical or chemicals 

which can cause death or serious illness and which are known 

to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or 

other reproductive harm. 
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning 

of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed 

substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due 

primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or 

liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will 

minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by 

properly venting with an open window or using a ventilation 

fan or hood.
To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or from fuel 

combustion make sure this appliance is installed, operated, 

and maintained according to the instructions in this booklet.

IMPORTANT:

 Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in 

rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. 

Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes 

released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and 

overheated non-stick cookware may be harmful. 

IMPORTANT:

 Save the installation instructions for the local 

electrical inspector’s use.

Proper Installation

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by 

a qualified technician.

Common Odors

When you first use your range it may give off an odor. This 

should stop after use.
Before using for the first time, make sure that all packing 

materials have been removed and then, to dispel 

manufacturing odors, turn all the ovens to 400 °F (200 °C) and 

run for at least 30 minutes.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air. 

People with respiratory or allergy problems should vacate the 

area for this brief period.
