positions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out
to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy pot-
holders. ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven
to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved
while hot, use a dry pot-holder.

an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft
could cause the ames to spread out of control.
• Once the unit has been installed as outlined in
the Installation Instructions, it is important that
the fresh air supply is not obstructed.The use of
a gas cooking appliance results in the production
of heat and moisture in the room in which
it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well-
ventilated. Keep natural venting holes open or
install a mechanical ventilation device. Prolonged
or intensive use of the appliance may call for
additional (such as opening a window) or more
effective ventilation (such as increasing the level
of a mechanical ventilation if present).
Utensil Safety
• Use pans with at 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 lled 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 ammable materials
and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent
surface burners. A LWAY Sturn 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 rangetop
surface or oven usage without breaking due
to the sudden change in temperature. 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
specically 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.
• The ame of the burner should be adjusted to
just cover the bottom of the pan or pot. Excessive
burner setting may cause scorching of adjacent
counter-top surfaces, as well as the outside of the
utensil. This is based on safety considerations.
Heating Elements
• NEVER touch oven bake and broil burner areas
or interior surfaces of oven.
• Bake and broil burners may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near burners and
interior surfaces of an oven may become hot
enough to cause burns.
• During and after use, DO NOT touch or let
clothing or other ammable materials contact
heating elements, areas near elements, or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had sufcient time
to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become
hot enough to cause burns, such as the oven vent
opening, the surface near the vent opening, and
the oven door window.
