Utensil Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped,
easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using
pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to
move when filled with food may also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food
and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in
deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the
volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble
action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do
not extend handles over adjacent surface burners.
Always turn pan handles toward the side or back of the
appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit
or reached by small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil
and the appliance.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using oven
cooking bags.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage
without breaking due to the sudden change in tempera-
ture. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using
glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance
using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically recommended in
this guide. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units,
stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The
use of devices or accessories that are not expressly
recommended in this manual can create serious safety
hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the
life of the components of the appliance.
Cleaning Safety
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool
before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the
burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam
burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes
if applied to a hot surface.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Do not leave food or cooking utensils, etc. in the ovens
during the self-clean cycle.
Self-Cleaning Ovens
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door
gaskets. The door gaskets are essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gaskets. Do
not use oven cleaners or oven liner protective coating of any
kind in or around any part of the self-clean ovens.
Before self-cleaning one of the ovens, remove broiler pan,
oven racks and other utensils and wipe up excessive
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke, flare-ups or flaming.
It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot
during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the cooktop
during a clean cycle should be avoided.
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.
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.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven
is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low-level
exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon
monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by
properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the
windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is
located during the self-clean cycle.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: 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 during an oven self-cleaning cycle
may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to
overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-
stick cookware may be equally harmful.
