¥ Be sure all packing materials ar e removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packing material ignite. ¥ Be sure your range is corr ectly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used.
¥ Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.
¥ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. ¥ Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
Baking, Br oiling and Roasting ¥ Keep the oven free fr om grease buildup. ¥ Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite. ¥ Place the oven shelves in the desired position while the oven is cool. ¥ Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven.

Read the information and tips on the following pages. Keep this guide handy where you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.
13 Oven Shelves The shelves are designed with stop- locks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are r emoving food from them or placing food on them. When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.
Pr eheating Pan Placement Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting the food in the oven. T o preheat, set the oven at the correct temperatureÑ selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.
15 Baking Guides When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for best baking results.
