Installation Guide

Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent

surface burners. Toreducetheriskofburns,ignitionofammablematerials,and

spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, the handle of a cookware

should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent

surface burners.

Never leave the surface burners unattended. Boilovers may cause smoking,

Do not place hands between the spring tension hinge and the oven door

frame when you are removing the oven door. Youcouldpinchyourngers.

Allow parts to cool to room temperature before touching or removing them

from the range. Whenasurfaceburnerisrstturnedoff,theburnerandgrateare

hot enough to cause burns.

Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of fat or grease, which could

catch re. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface burner.

Do not use a “cyclonic” range hood with this product. Some range hoods cir-

culate air by blowing downward toward the range top then drawing the air back up

into the hood. This creates a “cyclonic” air wash that is designed for electric ranges

only. A “cyclonic” hood may cause the burners of a gas range to operate improp-

erly.

Glazed cookware: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen-

ware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for rangetop service without breaking,

due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommenda-

tions for rangetop use.

Do not place plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrap-

pings on top of the range. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or

woodenspoonscouldcatchreifplacedtooclosetotheame.

Do not use a wok equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner.

Because this ring traps heat, the burner and grate could be damaged. Also, the

burner may not work properly, creating a carbon monoxide level above current

health standards.

Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.

Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
