To avoid risk of property damage, personal injury or death; follow information in this manual exactly to prevent a ﬁ re or explosion. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other ﬂ ammable vapors and liquids nearbythis or any appliance.

What to do if you smell gas:

Do not light any appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch. Do not use any phone in your building. Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the ﬁ re department.

NOTE: Installation and service must be performed by a qualiﬁ ed installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

In Massachusetts:

All gas products must be installed by a “Massachusetts” licensed plumber or gasﬁ tter. A “T” handle type manual gas valve must be installed in the gas line connected to this appliance.

To ensure proper and safe operation: Appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualiﬁ ed technician. DO NOT attempt to adjust, repair, service, or replace any part of your appliance unless it is speciﬁ cally recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualiﬁ ed servicer. Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut-oﬀ valve and how to shut it oﬀ in an emergency.

A certiﬁ ed technician is required for any adjustments or conversions to Natural or LP gas.

To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

• Be sure all packing materials are removed from

the appliance before operating it.

• Never let clothing, potholders, or other ﬂ am-

mable materials come in contact with or too close to any element, top burner or burner grate until it has cooled.

• If appliance is installed near a window, proper

precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.

• Never leave any items on the cooktop. The hot

air from the vent may ignite ﬂ ammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may cause them to burst.

• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSI-

VE when exposed to heat and may be highly ﬂ ammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

In Case of Fire

Turn oﬀ appliance and ventilation hood to avoid spreading the ﬂ ame. Extinguish ﬂ ame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.

• Cooktop: Smother ﬁ re or ﬂ ame in a pan with a

lid or cookie sheet.

• NEVER pick up or move a ﬂ aming pan.

• Oven: Smother ﬁ re or ﬂ ame by closing the oven

door. DO NOT use water on grease ﬁ res. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foamtype extinguisher to smother ﬁ re or ﬂ ame, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher.

Child Safety

• NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised

near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot.

• NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any

part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.

• DO NOT store items of interest to children over

the unit. Children climbing to reach those items could be seriously injured.

/ Warnings

Cooking Safety

• 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 eﬀ ective ventilation (such as increasing the level of a mechanical ventilation if present).

• NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks

or oven bottom. This could result in risk of electric shock, ﬁ re, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.

• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot

surface burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly above a unit. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner befo-

re turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn burner oﬀ before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner ﬂ ame.

• ALWAYS adjust surface burner ﬂ ame so that it

does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive ﬂ ame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance. This is based on safety considerations.

• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation

unattended especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.

• DO NOT heat unopened food containers, bu-

ild up of pressure may cause the container to explode and result in injury.

• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep

fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.

• NEVER wear garments made of ﬂ ammable

material or loose ﬁ tting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles. DO NOT drape towels or materials on oven door handles. These items could ignite and cause burns.

• ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired posi-

tions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy potholders.

• ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to add or

remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry pot-holder.

• ALWAYS turn the oven oﬀ at the end of cooking.

• Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot

air or steam escape before moving or replacing food.

• DO NOT cook directly on the oven bottom.

This could result in damage to your appliance. Always use the oven racks when cooking in the oven.

Do not connect any appliances to the plugs above or near to the induction cooktop; connection cable insulation can melt if in contact with heat, and this may result in an injury and a property damage.

Recommended Utensils

• Use pans with ﬂ 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 ﬁ lled with food may also be hazardous.

• Be sure utensil is large enough to properly con-

tain 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 ﬂ ammable mate-

rials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent surface burners. ALWAYS turn 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, ce-

ramic 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.

/ Warnings

Induction Cooking Surfaces

• Surface areas on or adjacent to the unit may be

hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch the cooking area as long as the light indicating residual heat on the glass-ceramic cooktop area, is “on”; this indicates that the temperature in the relative area is still high.

• DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKING SUR-

FACE – If cooking surface should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooking surface and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualiﬁ ed technician immediately.

• Keep a close eye on children because they are

unlikely to see the residual heat warning lights. The cooking zones are still very hot for some time after use, even if they are switched oﬀ . Make sure that children never touch them.

• NEVER use aluminum foil to to hold the food

while cooking on a glass-ceramic cooktop area.

• Never place pan with bottoms which are not

perfectly ﬂ at and smooth on the cooktop area.

• If you drop a heavy pot on your cooktop area it

will not break. On the contrary, if a hard object, such as the salt shaker or the spice bottle strikes the edge or the corner of the cooktop area, the cooktop area may break.

• Never use the glass-ceramic cooktop area as

support surface.

• Only use cleaning products made speciﬁ cally

for ceramic glass cooking surfaces.

Metal items such as cutlery or lids must never be placed on the surface of the cooktop area since they may become hot.

Oven 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 ﬂ ammable materials contact heating elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufﬁ cient 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.

• Clean the range with caution. Avoid steam

burns; DO NOT use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the range while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.

• DO NOT clean, rub, damage, move or remove

the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. If the gasket becomes worn or excessively soiled with food particles, replace gasket to assure a tight seal.

Power failure warning

Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal injury in attempting to light and extinguish the oven burners, the grill and the oven burner should not be used during a power failure. The oven control knob should always remain in the “OFF” position during a power failure.

NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance. Also, DO NOT use the rangetop or oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.

Electrical shock hazard

Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock. DO NOT touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock. NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil.Doing so blocks air ﬂ ow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a ﬁ re hazard.

Burn hazard

The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot. DO NOT touch the oven door glass!

Cleaning Safety

• Turn oﬀ all controls and wait for appliance parts

to cool before touching or cleaning them. DO NOT touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had suﬃ cient time to cool.

Warning-tipping hazard

Children and adults can tip over the range if it has not been secured.This may lead to fatal injuries.

To reduce the risk of the appliance tipping, it must be secured and connected using the anti-tip device according to the installation instructions. Re-engage the anti-tip device if the range is moved.

/ Warnings

Do not operate the range without te anti-tipdevice in place and engaged. Do not use the range if the anti-tip device has not been properly installed and engaged. See installation instructions for details.

Failure to observe the information contained in the installation instructions can lead to serious or fatal injuries for children and adults.

GAS COOKTOP

/ Gas cooktop

BURNER CAPS AND GRATES

The burners and the burner caps must be properly placed for the cooktop to function properly.

The burner grates must be properly placed inside the recess on the cooktop.

The correct ﬂ ame height depends on:

• size and material of pan being used

• food being cooked

• amount of liquid in the pan.

Never extend the ﬂ ame beyond the base of the pan. Use a low or medium ﬂ ame for pan materials that conduct the heat slowly, such as porcelain coated steel or glass-ceramic.

Because the edges of the ﬂ ame are much hotter than its center, the ﬂ ame tips should stay beneath the bottom of the cookware. Flame tips which extend beyond the sides of the cookware emit unnecessary heat into the room and can also damage cookware handles, which increases the risk of injury.

USING THE GAS BURNERS

• Press in the control knob and turn it anti-clockwi-

se, to HIGH position.

• Continue to hold the knob in for 5 to 10 seconds

after the burner ignition before releasing

• Adjust ﬂ ame with the knob as needed.

MAKING SURE THE FLAME IS OPTIMAL

The ﬂ ame should be stable with no excessive noise or ﬂ uttering. The color should be blue with no yellow on the tips. It is not uncommon to see orange in the ﬂ ame color; this indicates the burning of airborne impurities in the gas and will disappear with use.

• With propane (LP) gas, slight yellow tips on the

primary icone are normal.

• The ﬂ ame should burn completely around the

burner cap. If it doesn’t, check that the cap is positioned

• correctly on the base and that the ports are not

blocked.

GAS SHUT-OFF SAFETY THERMOCOUPLE

A ﬂ ame failure device (thermocouple) on each burner acts as a safety gas cut-oﬀ in case the ﬂ ame is accidentally blown out. A thermocouple detects the absence of a ﬂ ame and stops the supply of gas. The thermocouple must be heated for a few seconds when the burner is ignited before the knob is released.

USING SPECIALTY COOKWARE Woks

Either ﬂ at-based or round-bottom woks with the accessory ring can be used on all models. Round bottom woks must be used with a support ring. In some models the porcelain-coated cast iron wok support ring must be purchased separately.

Simmer ring

For very slow cooking could be use the the porcelain-coated simmer ring . In some models the porcelain-coated cast iron simmer ring must be purchased separately. Simmer ring must be used for pan with diameteusing r less than 4 inches.

NOTE: In the event of a power failure, the burners can be lit with a match or gas lighter. The ﬂ ame failure devices will continue to function normally.

ELECTRIC GRIDDLE

/ Electric griddle

Available on 48’’ models only

The electric stainless steel griddle is manufactured from 3/16 inches stainless steel designedfor maximum heat retention. Use extrem caution when operating the griddle to avoid burn hazard!

PREPARING THE GRIDDLE

• Check the griddle plate adjustment by pouring

two tablespoons of water on the back of the griddle plate. The water should slowly roll into the grease tray.

• Move the griddle plate to the side (Figure 23).

• Adjust the two screws under the back of the pla-

te. Start with one half turn counterclockwise of the screws. Further adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water slowly ﬂ ows into the grease tray.

• Turn the control knob to a maximum setting.

• Turn the heat oﬀ when the oil begins to smoke.

Allow the griddle to cool.

• Repeat step 3 covering the entire surface with

the oil. Turn oﬀ the heat and allow the griddle to cool.

• Wipe the entire surface of the griddle using a

heavy cloth.

• Apply a very thin layer of vegetable oil. The

griddle is now ready for use.

USING THE ELECTRIC GRIDDLE

Press and turn the knob (Fig.16) anti-clockwise to the selected position. The activation of the griddle is shown by the indicator light which is also found on the front panel of the appliance. Pre-heat at the maximum temperature for 15 minutes, then place the food on the griddle and cook at the desired temperature.

OFF

SEASONING THE GRIDDLE

The stainless steel griddle must be seasoned before using it for the ﬁ rst time. We also recommend re-seasoning after a long time of not use.

• Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot water and

soap solution to remove any protective coating.

• Rinse with a mixture ¼ gal of water and 1 cup

white vinegar and dry thoroughly.

• Pour 1 tsp vegetable oil into the centre of the

MAIN GAS OVEN

Warning!

Do not use the gas oven in case of electric power failure. In case of electric power failure reset oven/broiler controls to OFF position. Oven/broiler burners cannot operates until electric power is restored to the appliance.

If the oven burner ﬂ ame is extinguished accidentally during operation, turn the temperature control knob counter-clockwise to the OFF position. Wait at least 60 seconds before attempting to light the oven again.

ATTENTION! When using the oven for the ﬁ rst

time it should be operated for 15-30 minutes at a temperature of about 500°F/260°C without cooking anything inside in order to eliminate any moisture and odours from the internal insulation.

SHELVES POSITIONS

Shelves are mounted on the appropriate guides situated on the sides of the oven compartment. Insert the shelf between top and bottom guide in any of the 7 positions indicated.

of gas. The thermocouple must be heated for a few seconds when the burner is ignited before the knob is released.

PREHEATING THE OVEN

Most cooking times in recipes are intended for a preheated oven and require that the oven already be at the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Preheating time depends on the temperature setting and the number of racks in the oven.

OVEN COOKING MODES

The oven is equipped with several elements, used alone or in combination to create diﬀ erent cooking modes:

• Bake burner

• Broil burner

• Oven fan

The temperature setting and cooking times can vary slightly from one oven to another. It is possible that recipes and cooking times need to be adjust accordingly.

Bake

Heat from bake burner only.

COOLING FAN

Automatic operation of the cooling fan. The range cooker is equipped with a thermostatically controlled cooling fan designed to prevent the control panel and knobs from overheating. The cooling fan will operate when the oven temperature groves up. It will turn oﬀ when the temperature decreases. NOTE: It is normal for the cooling process to push heated air out into the room when the oven is on.

GAS SHUT-OFF SAFETY THERMOCOUPLE

Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.

• Open the oven door, with oven/broiler thermo-

stat knob in the OFF position,

• Press the thermostat knob for about 1 sec., re-

lease it immediately

• Turn it to the desired oven temperature; if the

burner does not light up, turn the thermostat knob to the OFF position again and and wait 1 minute before repeating the sequence.

• The gas oven operation is indicated by the light

in the cavity.

• Before closing the oven door, visually check

that the ﬂ ame is on through the portholes on the oven compartment bottom panel. If no ﬂ ame is visible, repeat the procedure.

• After lighting the burner and setting the desired

temperature, wait until the thermometer shows the set temperature before placing food in the oven.

The BAKE mode is best for baking on one rack:

• Standard baking: level 3 or 4

• Baking tall items: level 3

• Pies: level 2 or 3

• Large cuts of meat or poultry: level 2

/ Main gas oven

Convection bake

Heat from

with fan.

Cooking with convection has several advantages. In the convection system, two fans in the back of the oven move heated air evenly around the cavity, eliminating hot and cold spots and ensuring temperature is even. Multiple dishes can be cooked at the same time on diﬀ erent levels, without having to rotate the pans. For convection, use shallow bakeware to reduce heat shadows. Food cooked uncovered will brown evenly and form a nice crust. Food placed in covered bakeware or delicate custards do not beneﬁ t from convection cooking.

Preheat the oven as for BAKE and turn the function knob to ‘CONVECTION’ before placing the food in the cavity.

bake burner and airﬂ ow convection

• Single rack: use the same rack position as bake

• 2 racks: use level 3 and 5

• 3 racks : use level 2 ,4, 6

Broil

Infrared heat from the BROIL burner in the top of the cavity.

Use this setting for broiling/grilling dark meats 1” thick or less to rare or medium doneness.

The broil mode is eﬀ ective when food is placed on upper racks.

• Beef steaks, ground meat patties, and lamb

chops 1 inch or less: level 6.

• Meat 1 inches or more thick, ﬁ sh, poultry, pork

chops, ham steaks 1 inch or more: level 5.

• Browning food: level 6.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS Light

Use this function to light the oven when the oven is oﬀ (for example to clean the oven). Turn the function knob to ‘bake’. DO NOT turn on Oven Temperature Control Knob.

Prooﬁ ng

The proof feature maintains the warm, needed for prooﬁ ng yeast. It is best to start with a cool oven when using the prooﬁ ng function. Turn the function knob to ‘light’. DO NOT turn on Oven Temperature Control Knob. Do not open the oven door unnecessarily.

Convection defrost

Air is circulated by the airﬂ ow fans. The fan accelerates natural defrosting of food without heat. DO NOT leave defrosted food in the oven for more than two hours. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet. Turn the function knob to ‘CONV’. DO NOT turn on Oven Temperature Control Knob.

Before turning on the oven, place the rack in the desired position. After preheating the broiler, center the broil pan under the broil element.

Preheating the Broiler

It is recommended that you preheat the broil element before starting to cook. Preheat for 5 minutes then place food in oven.

• Open the oven door, with oven/broiler thermo-

stat knob in the OFF position,

• press the thermostat knob for about 1 sec., re-

lease it immediately

• turn it to ‘ BROIL’ ; if the broiler fails to light up,

turn the thermostat knob to the OFF position again and and wait 1 minute before repeating the sequence.

• The gas broil operation is indicated by the light

in the cavity.

• Before closing the oven door, visually check

that the ﬂ ame is on.If no ﬂ ame is visible, repeat the procedure.

CONDENSATION

It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture will condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

Using aluminum foil in the oven

Foil can be used to cover food in the oven but this should not come into close proximity with the oven elements. Foil should not be used to line the oven cavity or grill pan. This can cause overheating, buckling and cracking of the enamel surfaces.

/ Main gas oven

GETTING THE BEST RESULTS

• Minimize opening and closing the oven door

during operation.

• Use the rack position recommended by the re-

cipe and ﬁ ne-tune with personal experience.

• Use the bakeware recommended in the recipe.

• Store the broiler pan(s) outside the oven. An ex-

tra pan without food will impact browning and cooking.

• For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick/ano-

dized or dark, dull metal pans or glass bakeware. These may require lowering the bake temperature 25°F (14°C).

• Allow at least 1” (25.4 mm) of space between

the pans and the oven walls so heat can circulate around each pan.

• To keep the oven as clean as possible, cook

meat on a pan and not directly on the racks.

• For tender, golden brown crusts, use light

non-stick/anodized or shiny metal pans.
