SAFETY INFORMATION

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

To reduce the risk of tipping the range,

the range must be secured by a properly

installed anti-tip bracket. See installation

instructions shipped with the bracket for

complete details before attempting to

install.

For Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges

To check if the bracket is installed and

engaged properly, look underneath the

range to see that the rear leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On

some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easy

inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward,

confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and

slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket.

If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this

procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured

to the anti-tip device properly.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film

with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance

surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film.

Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the

first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the

product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from

packaging tape on new appliances is an application of

a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a

soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It

cannot be removed if it is baked on.

In Case of a Power Failure

USING THE RANGE: InCaseofaPowerFailure/SurfaceBurners

Surface Burners

Intheeventofapowerfailure,theovenisinoperableandnoattemptshouldbemadetooperateit.However,the

surface burners may be lit with a match. Using extreme caution, hold a lit match near the ports beneath the surface

burner cap, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Once lit, surface burners will continue to operate normally.

Lighting a Surface Burner

WARNING Burners should be operated only

when covered by cookware. Burner flames not

covered by cookware present a risk of fire or

clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the

sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result

in serious injury.

Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and

fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.

Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob

in and turn it to the LITE position.

Youwillhearaclickingnoise—thesoundoftheelectric

spark igniting the burner. When one burner is turned to

LITE, all burners will spark. Sparking will continue as

long as the knob remains at LITE. Once gas is ignited,

turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

Using the Surface Burners

NOTES:

■ Donotoperatetheburnerforanextendedperiodof

time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the

grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb

the heat.

■ Donotattempttodisassembleanyburnerwhileanother

burner is on. Damage to the product may occur.

■ Besuretheburnersandgratesarecoolbeforeyou

place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials

on them.

Your rangetop offers convenience, cleanability and

flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.

The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer

burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking

performance for foods such as delicate sauces that

require low heat for a long cooking time.

Selecting a Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When

rapid heating is desired, the flame size should match the

size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than

the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may

be hazardous.

Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

These flames are too large for the pot

49-2000227 Rev. 0 9

USING THE RANGE: Surface Burners

Surface Burners (Cont.)

Stove Top Grills

Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your

gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause

incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide

levels above allowable standards. This could be

hazardous to your health.

Using a Wok

Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches

or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.

Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the

burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly,

resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable

standards. This could be hazardous to your health. Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Do not use stove top grills

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended

because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown

evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-

fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating

properties and is usually combined with copper,

aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution.

Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if

they are used with medium heat or as the manufacturer

recommends.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give

satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel

of some cookware may melt. Follow the cookware

manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass:Therearetwotypesofglasscookware—those

for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking

(saucepans,coffeeandteapots).Glassconductsheat

very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either

surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and

cools very slowly. Check the cookware manufacturer’s

directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
