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 the burners to the outdoors.
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.

Cooktop burners
Quality of Flames
On Natural Gas the burners’ flames should be a
blueish color with, at most, a slight yellowish fringe.
On Propane gas the flames may be “softer”. The
cooktop burner flames may have a slight yellowish
tip.
If the flame burns with a long white tip you should call
for service.
Normal flame appearance Burner not fitted correctly
MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION AIR TO THE RANGE IS
UNOBSTRUCTED.
Use the Right Size Pan
This appliance is equipped with burners of different
sizes. Use utensils with flat bottoms. Do not use
unstable pans and position the handles away from the
edge of the cooktop. Make sure the flames are under
the pans. It’s not safe to let the flames burn up the
sides of the pan; the handle may get too hot.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
Never Leave Cooktop burners unattended at high
settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and
greasy spills may catch on fire.
Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line
cooktop bowls or oven bottoms. Foil liners may result
in a risk of electric shock, or fire and will damage the
enamel finish. Never allow aluminum foil to contact
the heating elements.
Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
