tip and injury
could result.
To prevent
accidental
tipping of the

from the wall for any reason, make
sure the rear legs are returned to
their positions in the bracket when
you push the cooking center back.

prevent fire or smoke damage
should the packing material ignite.

for the type of gas (Natural or
LP) on which it is to be used.
Your cooking center can be
converted for

When cooking pork, follow
the directions
exactly and always
cook the
meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F.
This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be killed
and meat will be safe to eat.
Surface Cooking
l
Always use the LITE position
when igniting top burners and
make
sure
the burners have ignited

Never leave surface burners
unattended at HI flame
settings. Boilover

Adjust top burner flame size
so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the cooking utensil.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
