WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETY OTICE N
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yeflow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
SAFETYRECAUTIONS P
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut # off if necessary. Hate your rang_ installed and properly grounded 1)y a qualified installer, in accordance with the Installation Insuucfions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only 1)y qualified gas rang_ installers or service technicians. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be refened technician, to a qna]ified Plug your rang_ into a 190_\_lt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from dm plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to haxe an ungrounded outlet replaced wifll a properly gTounded, d_tee-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an exmnsion cord with this appliance.

WARNING!
SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having fiat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spi//overs, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spi/Iovers left on range can ignite. Use pans wih handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool, Always use the LITE position when igniting file top burners and make sure the humers hme ignited.
