Proper Installation and Maintenance
• WARNING: When properly cared for, your new
appliance has been designed to be safe and reliable.
Read all instructions carefully before use. These
precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, and injury to persons. When using kitchen
appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed,
including those in the following pages.
• Have the installer show you the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
• This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to a
properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation
Instructions for details.
• This appliance is intended for normal family household
use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the
“Statement of Limited Product Warranty”. If you have
any questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables or nonfood products in or near this
appliance. It is specifically designed for use when
heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive
chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the
appliance and could result in injury.
• Do not operate this appliance if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged. Contact an
authorized servicer.
• Do not obstruct oven vents.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may
ignite.
WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE
•
TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the burner.
• In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
• Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
• Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air
vents do not push the flames so that they extend
beyond the edges of the pan.
• Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
• Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the oven.
9 WARNING

such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
• Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol
content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven.
Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a
risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in
the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods,
and open the oven door carefully.
Child Safety
• When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents or legal
guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe
practices by qualified persons.

Cleaning Safety
• IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor
of California to publish a list of substances known to the
state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances. The burning of gas
cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-cleaning
can generate small amounts of carbon monoxide.The
fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small
amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning
cycles. California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of
cancer. Carbon monoxide is a potential cause of
reproductive toxicity. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized by:
1) Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2) Providing good ventilation during and immediately
after self cleaning the oven.
3) Operating the unit according to the instructions in
this manual.
• Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
• Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using
cooking or roasting bags.
• Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.
• Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware
will expose a portion of the heating element or burner
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of different
size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating
element or burner will also improve efficiency.
• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do
not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the
edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires,
spills and burns.
• CAUTION: Plastic containers or plastic wrap can melt
if in direct contact with the drawer or a hot utensil. If it
melts onto the drawer, it may not be removable.
Food Safety
• CAUTION: To maintain food safety, follow these
guidelines:
1) DO NOT use a warming drawer to heat cold food
(exception: it is safe to use the drawer to crisp
crackers, chips or dry cereal and to warm plates).
2) Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The
USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F or
warmer.
3) DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.
• Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns from
steam.
• When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will
not open. If the door does not lock, do not run Self-Clean.
Contact service.
• Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep
pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where kitchen
fumes could reach them. During self clean, fumes are
released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes
such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also
be harmful.
• Keep oven free from grease build up.

Operation - Cooktop
This section explains how to operate the cooktop. See
“Cooktop Cooking Guide” on page 22 for guidelines to
improve cooktop results.
About the Cooktop
Use the cooktop for surface cooking applications such as
boiling, frying, simmering, steaming and sautéing.
9 WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury, while the self-clean
cycle is operating, the cooktop will not operate.
When using the cooktop and the oven is set to self-clean,
"Turn Off Cooktop" is shown in the display. The self-clean
cycle does not come on. Turn off the cooktop to use selfclean.
The cooktop cannot be used when self-clean is running in
the oven.
9 WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small
amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene and
Formaldehyde. To minimize exposure to these
substances, the burners should be adjusted by a
certified installer or agency to ensure proper
combustion. Ensure proper ventilation with an open
window or use a ventilation fan or hood when
cooking with Gas. Always operate the unit according
to the instructions in this manual.
The cooktop has one control knob for each burner. Push
down and turn to the desired heat setting.
Normal Operation
(Electronic Ignition/Reignition)
The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners.
There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own igniter. If a
burner flame blows out during use, the burner will
automatically reignite.
9 CAUTION
To avoid possible injury or damage to the
appliance, ensure grates are installed exactly per
installation instructions and not backwards or
upside down.
Typical Flame Characteristics
The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with no
yellow tips, excessive noise or fluttering. It should burn
completely around the burner cap.
Yellow Flames:
Further adjustment is required.
Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:
Normal for LP Gas.
Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas.
If the flame is completely or
mostly yellow, verify that the
regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment,
retest.
Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial startup. Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate
before making adjustments.
Figure 3: Checking Flame Characteristics
Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange
flame during initial use. This should disappear with use.
Check burner to make sure port holes are not obstructed. If
the ports are clogged, see “Self Help” on page 38.
NOTE:
An audible “pop” may be heard when the burner is turned
off manually. The “popping” may be louder with LP gas than
with natural gas. This is normal.

Getting the Most Out of Your Cooktop
Cooktop Cooking Guide
Boiling Water
Time to boil can vary greatly depending on environmental
conditions. Try the following tips to decrease boil time:
• Use a lid.
• Use a pan that is appropriately sized for the amount of
water and the size of the element.
• Select a pan with a flat base (See “Cookware Selection
Guide” in the next column for details).
• Choose a medium-weight pan (rather than a heavyweight one).
• Make sure that the pan is positioned so that the entire
base is in contact with the burner grate.
• Start with water that is already warm.
• Boil the smallest amount of water necessary. Smaller
volumes will boil faster than larger volumes.
Recommended Settings
Use this chart as a guide for heat settings. A range of heat
settings are listed because the actual setting depends on:
• type and quality of pan (See “Cookware Selection
Guide”),
• type, quantity and temperature of the food,
• element used and
• the cook’s preference.

Cookware Selection Guide
Cookware Characteristics
• Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat
evenly.
• Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may
cook unevenly.
• Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks
more evenly at low-to-medium settings.
• Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and
stability.
• DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or
ridged as they heat unevenly.
Tight Fitting Lids – A lid shortens cooking/boiling time by
holding heat inside the pot.
Cookware Tips
• Use of pots and pans with rounded (either concave or
convex) warped or dented bottoms should be avoided.
• Make sure the bottom of the pot or pan being used is
clean and dry.
• Use pots and pans with thick, smooth metal bottoms.
Specialty Pans
Pan Bottom Diameter
• The flame should be
the same size as the
bottom of the pan or
smaller. Do not use
small pans with high
flame settings as the
flames can lick up the
sides of the pan.
• Oversize pans that
span two burners are
placed front to back,
not side to side.
• For best cooking
results, large pans
should not extend over
the sides of the grates.
English 22
Use Balanced Pans
• Balance is important for
stability and even
cooking.
• Pans must sit level on
the cooktop grate
without rocking or
wobbling.
• Center pan over burner.
Use a Lid That Fits Properly
A well-fitting lid helps
shorten the cooking time.
Specialty pans such as griddles, roasters, pressure
cookers, woks, water bath canners and pressure canners
must have the same features as described above. Use only
a flat-bottomed wok or wok ring when using a wok.
Getting the Most Out of Your Oven
General Tips
Pan Placement
Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of
the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at
least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking
four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two
racks so that one pan is not directly above the other.
Rack Position
Rack positions
are numbered
from 1 to 6, from
bottom to top.
Consult the food
cooking charts at
the back of this
manual for
recommended
rack positions.
The rail at the top of the oven is used as the guide for the
top rack (position 6). Use rack positions 1 through 6 only.
DO NOT attempt to use the top guide to support an oven
rack.
Rack Position Best For
6 (highest
position)
5 hamburgers, steaks, melting cheese,
browning toppings, broiling most
meats and fish
4 broiling poultry and thicker meats,
toasting bread
3 most baked goods on a cookie sheet
or baking pan using a single rack,
includes frozen convenience foods,
cakes, casseroles, frozen pizza
2 small roasts or poultry, bundt cakes,
pies, breads
1 (lowest
position)
large roasts, turkey, angel food cake
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part
of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing
these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Preheating the Oven
• Place oven racks in desired position before heating the
oven.
• Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection
Bake, Pizza, Broil, and Warm modes.
• Preheat is not used for Roast, Convection Roast and
Proof modes.
• Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe
ingredients or food items.
English 23
• Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat
time.
• Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as
quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and
reduction of oven temperature.
Preheat Reminders
• Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry,
casseroles and some frozen foods.
• Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer
preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F
is longer than the preheat time for 350° F.
When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not
preheat for more than 5 minutes.
For Best Results
High Altitude Baking
• When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking
times will vary.
• For accurate information, write the Extension Service,
Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado
80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify
which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer:
general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.
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 may condense on any surface
cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control
panel.
• Use the cooking recommendations as a guide.
• Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid
temperature reduction.
• Use the interior oven light to view the food through the
oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
• Use the Kitchen Timer to keep track of cooking times.
Baking Pans and Dishes
• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven
temperature 25° F when baking using glass dishes.
• Preheat the oven before adding glass baking dishes.
• Use pans that provide the desired browning. For
tender, light, golden-brown crusts, use light, anodized
or shiny metal bakeware.
• Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will
absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust.
Some manufacturers recommend reducing the
temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Follow
manufacturers' recommendations.
• Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the
length of cooking time.
• Do not set any heavy object on the open oven door.
• Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven
during cooking as this could change the cooking
performance. Store pans outside the oven.

Cooking Modes
Bake
Bake is cooking with dry heated air. Heat comes from the
lower burner and cycles to maintain the oven temperature.
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food
items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or
package directions for oven temperature and baking time.
• Open and close the appliance door only by holding the
door handle. To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any
other parts of the door.
Tips
• When using the Bake mode, preheat the oven if the
recipe recommends it.
• Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of
the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings
will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware
will lengthen the cook time for most foods.
English 24
• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at
least 1 1/2” space between pans or dishes and oven
walls.
• Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window
to periodically check food for doneness instead of
opening the door.
• If multiple racks are used, use a maximum of 2 racks.
For cookies and cakes use positions 2 and 5. Stagger
pans so that one is not directly above the other
Convection Bake
Convection Bake is similar to Bake. Heat comes from the
lower burner that is circulated throughout the oven by the
convection fan. The Convection Bake mode is well suited
for cakes, bar cookies and breads to take advantage of the
bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items.
It is also best for baking cookies, biscuits, cream puffs, on
multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time.
The benefits of Convection Bake include:
-- Slight decrease in cook time.
-- Higher volume (yeast items rise higher).
Tips
• Place food in shallow, uncovered pans such as cookie
sheet without sides.
• For cakes and cookies use rack positions 3 and 5.
• If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1”
to 1 1/2” of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so
that one is not directly above the other (see graphic).
Convection Conversion” in “Settings” on page 19 for
details.
Pizza
In the Pizza mode, heat from the lower burner is circulated
throughout the oven by the convection fan. Use the Pizza
mode for fresh or frozen pizza.
Tips
• When baking a frozen pizza:
For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack.
For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
• When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil
and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to
prevent crust formation.
• Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.
• If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally
with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the
pan.
• If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough
with a fork before baking.
• If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for
a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer
crust.
• Preheat baking stones following manufacturer’s
recommendations while the oven is preheating.
• Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the
center of the rack.
• Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.
Auto Convection Conversion
The Convection Bake mode requires a 25° F reduction in
temperature. Auto Convection Conversion reduces the
temperature you enter automatically. Simply enter the
package or recipe temperature when setting the mode. The
control calculates the correct temperature and it is shown in
the display.
The Auto Convection Conversion feature can be turned on
to allow for automatic temperature adjustments. See “Auto
English 25
Roast
Roast uses the lower burner to maintain the oven
temperature. Roast is best suited for meat and poultry and
less tender cuts of meat.
Tips:
• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
• Use a high-sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover dish
with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.
• For less tender cuts of meat, add liquids such as water,
juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and moisture.
• Roasting bags and using a lid are suitable for use in
this mode.
• When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings
behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.
Convection Roast
Convection Roast uses heat from the lower burner as well
as heat circulated by the convection fan. The Convection
Roast mode is well suited for preparing tender cuts of meat
and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting vegetables.
The benefits of Convection Roast include:
-- As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection
modes.
-- Rich, golden browning.
Tips:
• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
• Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
• Check doneness early, since roasting time may
decrease. Refer to the Meat/Poultry cooking chart for
examples.
• Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
• Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow,
uncovered pan with a rack for roasting.
• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal
termperature of the meat.
• If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet
done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat
to prevent overbrowning.
• Let meat stand covered with foil for 10 to 15 minutes
after removing it from the oven.
• Refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart for
recommended rack positions.
• Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to
prevent smoking and spattering.
• Turn meats (other than fish) once during the
recommended cook time. Fish does not need to be
turned.
• When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass
ceramic dishes such as CorningWare ®.
• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex ®); it cannot tolerate
the high temperature.
• For broil times, refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking
Chart.
Proof
Proof is using the lower burner to maintain a low
temperature to proof bread, pizza dough or other yeast
doughs.
• No preheat is necessary.
• Proofing is the rising of yeast dough.
• The Proof Dough mode temperature range is 85° F to
125° F.
• The default temperature in the Proof Dough mode is
100° F.
• Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that
accommodates the size of the container.
• Keep the oven door closed and use the oven light to
check the rising of the dough.
Warm
Broil
Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper burner.
The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts
of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to
brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door
closed. The benefits of broiling include:
• Fast and efficient cooking.
• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.
Tips:
• Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more
than 5 minutes.
• Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick.
• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent
sticking.
• Use a broil pan and grid, or a deep pan with a metal
rack, for broiling.
Warm is cooking with dry, heated air. The lower burner
cycles to maintain the oven temperature.
• Use the Warm mode to keep cooked foods hot until
ready to serve for up to one hour.
• Warm mode temperatures are 150° F to 225° F.
• The default temperature in the Warm mode is 170° F.
• Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with
a lid or aluminum foil.
9 CAUTION
When using Warm mode, follow these guidelines:
• Do not use the Warm mode to heat cold food.
• Be sure to maintain proper food temperature.
The USDA recommends holding hot food at
140° F or warmer.
• DO NOT warm food longer than one hour.
