SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

After prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures may result. Many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Before installing your range on linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand 100° without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of %” thick plywood or similar insulator is
placed between the range and carpeting.
Do not leave children aione or unattended where a range is hot or in operation. Never use your appliance for heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not be operated without cookware. Do not let cooking grease accumulate in or near the range. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well fitting lid. Do not use water on grease fires. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda, multipurpose dry chemical, or fire extinguisher. Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using baking soda, multipurpose dry chemical, or fire extinguisher. Do not store or use combustable materials in an oven, broiler, storage drawer, or near the cooktop. 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 flames or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may catch fire. Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive
flame is hazardous.
Page 4
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS continued...
Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without letting them extend over adjacent burners, to minimize the possibility of burns.
Always turn the surface burners to OFF before removing cookware.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are
necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. 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.
if a combination of oils or fats will be caused in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats. Use a deep-fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool. When using’glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking. Use proper pan size. Avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers. Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will
increase pressure in dosed containers, which may cause them to burst. Do not use the oven as a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite. Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape
can cause burns to hands, face, and eyes. Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Place the oven shelves in the desired position while the oven is cool. Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury. Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven except as described in the manual. Misuse could
result in a fire hazard or damage to the range. When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer instructions. Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens.
When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor
baking.
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system, it is recommended that you operate the oven for a number of weeks to become familiar with your new oven’s performance.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on. Close the oven door. Turn the oven set knob to the temperature you desire. Check the food for doneness at the minimum time on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Turn the oven set knob to off and then remove the food. Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face, and eyes.

OPERATING YOUR GAS RANGE
Before operating the unit, read this section thoroughly.
The first time the burners are used, a small amount of smoke may be generated due to burning of grease on the burners, especially on oven and broiler burners. This is not dangerous. For that reason, the burners must be operated without any cooking purpose for 10 minutes for the first time. This range is equipped with an electric ignition system to ignite the burners. Therefore, it must be supplied with electricity. If any electric power failure occurs, using a match can ignite the burners. A constant supply of air is needed for combustion. Therefore, allow sufficient, ventilation into _the_room_whefe_the_range_is­piaced.
Figure 6
Page 10
Manual Lighting Of The Oven Burner During Power Outage
You should place a lighted match next to the entrance of the burner hole. Depress the oven burner knob and turn counter-clockwise. Keep the control knob depressed for 10 seconds after lighting. Check that the burner is lit (Figure 7). Use extreme caution when lighting burners in this manner.
> Operation of Surface Burners
There are 3 different types of surface burners with different size and heat output on the cook top. A rapid burner (Front Right) Two semi-rapid burners (Back) A simmer burner (Front Left)
▲ WARNING®
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE ANY SURFACE BURNER WITHOUT INSTALLING IT. OTHERWISE, THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION.
First, the surface burners must be installed correctly, as seen in Figure 7.
The ring and its cap must be in its place. The burners should be level with the surface of
the main top.
The cookware supports must be in their places on the cook top. These plastic rings are already in place and are used to prevent rocking as shown in Figure 8. Use stable cookware with a flat bottom and always place the utensils on the cookware supports before lighting the burner.
The surface burners are controlled by knobs located on control panel at front side of the
appliance, as seen in Figure 9.
There is a symbol over the knob on the control panel to identify which knob controls which burner. Also, there is a symbol indicator on the knobs, to aid in setting the burner to the
desired temperature.
10
Page 11

> To Light the Desired Surface Burner

• Push the control knob in.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob counter-clockwise without releasing it to adjust the
flame size. Then release the knob.
For maximum heat output, align the large flame symbol on the knob with the vertical line on the control panel. In order to decrease the heat output, turn the knob in the direction of the small flame symbol. For minimum heat output, align the small flame symbol on the knob with the vertical line on the control panel.
The amount of food being cooked, the amount of liquid, or the size of the pan should determine the heat settings. Always position the utensil on the burner grate before lighting the burner. For your safety, the flame should not extend beyond the sides of the pan. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only heats the handle.
• To turn the burner off, turn the knob clockwise until it reaches the {•) symbol.
• Before lighting a burner.
• Make sure all grates on the range are In place before using any burner.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size. Watch the flame not the
knob, as you adjust the heat.
• In case of power failure.
You can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match to
the burner, and then turn the knob to the ON position. Use extreme caution when
lighting burners in this manner.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate
normally.
NOTE; The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed. When one burner is turned to ON, all the burners spark. Do not disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An
electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Operating Your Oven Burner

The oven is controlled by a knob located at left side of control panel. (See Figures 9 & 10)
This knob has two functions.
To control oven burner.
To control broiling burner.
When the knob is turned in a counterclockwise direction, it controls the oven. When the knob is turned in the clockwise direction, the broiler is engaged. Those burners do not
run simultaneously.
The oven burner is controlled by a thermostat and has a flame failure device. The numbers on the knob indicate the temperature in the center of oven cavity in degrees of Fahrenheit.
—A WARiffl^G^ The maximum amount of weight placed on to the oven shelf must not exceed 30 lbs.
11
Page 12
Using Your Oven
Open oven door to confirm nothing is stored in oven cavity and set racks to proper height. Push the oven knob in and turn it counter-clockwise to the desired temperature. Observe that the oven burner is lit. Wait for ten seconds for the heating of flame failure device, then release the knob. Never pull up or out the bottom panel of the oven for
observation or operation of oven. Always make use of slots on the bottom panel of oven for observation. It is usually necessary to preheat the oven. Close the oven door and wait for 10-20 minutes depending on desired temperature, then place food in the oven.
When selected temperature is reached, the burner will maintain it.
Do not forget that because the heat rises, the top of oven will always be hotter than the bottom. After cooking time elapses, remove food and turn oven knob to OFF position, until you hear a second click.

> Oven Light

The switch located at the extreme right of the control panel turns the oven light on and off (See
Figure 9). When the button is depressed, the light will be on. (DGR-240 only)
12
Page 13
> operating Your Broiler Burner
The knob controlling the oven burner is also used for operating the
broiler burner. (See Figure 9) When the knob is turned in clockwise direction, it controls the broiler. When the knob is turned in the counter-clockwise direction, the oven is
engaged. Those burners do not run simultaneously. The broiling burner has one
position. It is full on. The burner cannot be set to other heat outputs.
To operate the broiler burner;
Open oven door to confirm nothing is stored in oven cavity.
Place the heat deflector panel, as shown in Figure 11.
▲ WARNING©
If the heat deflector is not placed, the control panel will overheat. This could damage the control knobs, and creates risk of burn injury.
A WARNING®
The maximum amount of weight placed on to the oven shelf must not exceed 30 lbs.
Place food on a cold ungreased broiling pan and set rack to proper height.
Close the oven door, until it touches the heat deflector panel.
Push the oven knob forward. Ignition starts.
Turn it in the clockwise direction to BROIL position without releasing the knob. Observe that the broiler burner is lit. Wait for ten seconds for the heating of flame failure device, then release the knob.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The appliance should be cleaned regularly for long-term operating. Make sure that all parts of the range are cool before cleaning.

> Removing the Oven Door for Cleaning

Open the door fully.
There is a small ring on each hinge. Puli the ring over the claw-like hook, which is part of the hinge mechanism. Do
not forget to do this on both hinges before the next step. (See Figure 12)
Raise the door slightly and pull it straight out and away from the oven. The door will come completely off.
When replacing the door, locate it back into the hinge holes.
Puli it down fully and slip the rings off the claw-like hooks.
Close the door and make sure that it sits in place fully. If not, repeat all above steps.
Figure 12
Page 14

> Cleaning Your Oven

The oven door glass (DGR-240) should be cleaned regularly with a non-abrasive liquid cleaner. Rinse with a damp cloth and then a dry one. The enameled and metal parts of the oven should be cleaned with hot water and suitable liquid enamel cleaner.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners on the enameled panels.

^ Cleaning the Knobs and Control Panel

Pull forward on the knobs to remove them.
Wash in a water solution with a mild detergent mix. Do not use an abrasive cleaner or abrasive action. Abrasive action will scratch away the knob markings.
The control panel should be cleaned by using a damp cloth with mild detergent. Never rinse with an abrasive cleaner or use abrasive action.

> Cleaning the Cooking Supports, Cook top, Backguard and Surface Burners

Utensil supports are made of enamel-coated steel.
They can be cleaned at the sink with detergent or soap-filled scouring pads. They can also be put :n a dishwasher.
The cooktop and backguard are also made of enamel-coated steel. They should be cleaned with hot water and suitable liquid enamel cleaner.
The aluminum burner rings may be damaged if soaked or put into a dishwasher. They should be
washed with a fine soapy wire wool.
The burner caps are made of enameled sheet. It can be cleaned in the same manner as utensil
supports. It is very important that the burner is dry before replacing it in the range. A wet burner will not allow the gas to ignite properly.

HELPFUL HINTS...

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods
brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast-iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware - those for oven use only and those for top-of-range
cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots).
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly
and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's direction to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets generally work satisfactorily if used at medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.
Stove top grills: Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners, if you use the stove top grill on
the sealed gas burner it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide
levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.
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. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature for
10-20 minutes- selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry, and breads. For most casseroles and roasts, preheating is not necessary.
