What to Do
1. Begin by ensuring proper installation and
grounding of the appliance by a qualified
technician according to the accompanying
Installation Instructions. Have the installer
show you where the fuse or junction box
and gas valve are located so that you
know how and where to turn off the utilities.
If you smell gas, do not use the range.
Immediately turn off the gas supply at the
shut off valve, disconnect electrical power
to the unit at the fuse or junction box,
and contact the gas supplier or qualified
appliance technician.
2. Ensure that the range is used only by
those individuals who are able to operate it
properly.
3. Use the range only for cooking tasks
expected of a home oven as outlined in
this manual.
4. Properly clean and maintain the range as
recommended in this manual.
5. Use only dry potholders to avoid steam
burns when removing hot cookware.
6. Exercise caution when opening the oven
door. Let hot air or steam escape before
looking or reaching into the oven.
7. Allow the oven cool air intake (located at
the door handle) to remain unobstructed at
all times.
8. Position oven racks in desired locations
when the oven is cool. (If a rack must be
repositioned after the oven is already hot,
be certain that the potholder does not
contact a hot heating element in the oven.)
9. Before Self-Cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler grill and pan, oven racks, convection
fan filter and any other utensils.
10. Clean only those parts listed in this
manual.
11. In the event that a burner flame goes out
and gas escapes, turn off the gas control
and open a window or door. Wait at least
5 minutes before attempting to use the
cooktop.
12. Select utensils of the proper size, material,
and construction for the particular type of
cooking being done. Select utensils that
are large enough to contain the desired
quantity of food without boil-overs or spill-
overs. Choose pans with easy to hold
handles that will stay cool while cooking.
Do not use utensils with loose handles.
Avoid using pans that are too heavy to lift
safely. Use cookware only for its intended
purpose. Certain types of glass, ceramic,
and earthenware utensils are suitable for
use only in an oven and not in cooktop
applications.
13. When cooking, set the burner controls so
that the flame heats only the bottom of the
utensil and does not lick at the sides of the
utensil.
14. When deep fat frying, be certain that the
pan is large enough to contain the desired
volume of food without overflow caused by
bubbling of the fat. Never leave a deep fat
fryer unattended. Avoid deep fat frying of
moist or frost-covered foods, as foods with
high water content may cause spattering or
spilling of the hot fat. Heat fat slowly, and
stir together any combinations of oils and
fats prior to applying heat. Utilize a deep
fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the
fat to temperatures above the flash point.
15. Always turn pan handles to the side or
back of the range. Do not turn handles
towards the room where they are easily hit.
Handles should not extend over adjacent
burners.
16. Always check the positions of the control
knobs to make sure the cooktop is off when
you are finished cooking.
17. Before performing any service, turn off the
gas supply by closing the gas shut-off valve
and turning off electrical power supply.
18. Always light each burner prior to placing a
utensil on the burner grate. Also, turn the
control knob to the “off” position before
removing a utensil from the burner grate.
