IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
appliance, follow the important safety instructions listed below:
Safety and warningsSafety and warnings
WARNING!
Electrical Shock Hazard
Before removing a faulty oven light bulb, make sure you turn the power to the range
off at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. If you don’t know how to do this, contact an electrician. Do not remove the kickstrip grate. Due to access to live electrical
parts behind it, the kickstrip grate should only be removed by a qualied technician.
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong or four-prong grounding plug for your
protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded power outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. Failure to follow this advice may result in death or electrical shock.
WARNING!
Tipping Hazard
A child or adult can tip this range and be killed. It must be secured by a properly
installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions for details.
Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged when the range is moved. Check
engagment following the steps above. Do not use the appliance until it has been
secured. Failure to do so can result in or death or serious burns to children or
adults.
WARNING!
Explosion Hazard
If you smell gas, do not use the appliance. Open a window or door to let the
gas escape, then follow the instructions on the inside front cover of this manual. Do
not use water on grease res. A violent steam explosion may result. Turn all burners off, then smother re or ame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not heat unopened food containters such as cans – Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury. Failure to follow this advice may result in injury or death.
WARNING!
Fire Hazard
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Persons could be
injured or a re could start. Keep the area around the appliance free from combustible materials (e.g. wall coverings, curtains, drapes), gasoline and other ammable
vapors and liquids.
Do not let cooking grease or other ammable materials accumulate in, or, or near
the appliance. Do not hang any articles (e.g. dish towels) off the oven handle.
Some fabrics may ignite or melt from the heat. Never leave the rangetop burners
unattended when in use – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite. Be sure all the controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using
any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. Chemicals in such cleaners
could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
Failure to follow this advice may result in death or serious injury.
WARNING!
Poisoning Hazard
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire
rack or the oven oor with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may also trap heat, causing a re hazard.
Clean the appliance with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow the directions of the cleaner manufacturer. Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room.
Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance. Failure to follow this advice may result in poisoning or death.
WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot during use. Do not touch burners, areas near
burners, the French Top, grill, griddle, grease drip-pans, heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven – These may be hot enough to cause burns even though they are
dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other ammable
materials contact these parts and surfaces until they have had sufcient time to
cool. Other parts and surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause
burns - among these areas are the grates, back trim and oven vents at the back of
the rangetop, front edge, surfaces adjacent to the rangetop, and the oven door.
Use only dry potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Ovens
with a CLEAN cycle: During self-cleaning, the oven reaches higher temperatures
than it does for cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than
usual. Children should be kept away. Failure to follow this advice could result in
burns and scalds.

Safety and warnings Safety and warnings
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and after cooking.
This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take particular care
during warmer weather.
• Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the appliance.
• Do not obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilation air to the appliance.
• Before self-cleaning the oven – Remove oven shelves, side racks, broiler pan and all other cook-
ware/utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.
• Before self-cleaning the oven –make sure you move any pet birds to another, closed and well ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during a self-cleaning
cycle, and may die if left in the same room as the range during such a cycle.
• Do not use any cookware on the French Top, grill or griddle.
• Top cover (lid) must be removed when the griddle is in operation.
• When using the grill or griddle, make sure the grease drip-pan is in place – absence of this during
use may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
• The oven(s), French Top, grill, and griddle of your rangetop cannot be used in the event of a power
failure. Do not attempt to operate these during power failure.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or rangetop. This will cause heat to be trapped
underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking performance and damage the nish of the
oven or rangetop parts.
• Do not place any dishes, trays, water or ice directly on the oven oor during cooking, as doing so will
irreversibly damage the porcelain enamel nish.
• For safety reasons, the rangetop burner ame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond
the edge of the cookware.
• Use cookware of the appropriate size and construction for the type of cooking. This appliance is
equipped with burners of different sizes. Cookware must be matched to the size of the burner.
• Select utensils with at bottoms large enough to cover the burner ames. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the burner ames to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationships of utensil to burner will also improve efciency.
• Protective liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line grease drip-pans or oven bottoms.
• Glazed cooking utensils – only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent rangetop burners – To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend
over adjacent rangetop burners.
• The Governor of California is required to publish a list of substances known to the State of California
to cause cancer or reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.
WARNING!: This product emits exhaust that contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. To reduce the risk from such chemicals, make sure this
appliance is installed, operated, and maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Conditioning the oven
Conditioning will burn off any manufacturing residues and ensure that you get the best results right
from the start.
1 Insert all of the racks. See ‘Positioning the racks for instructions.
2 Turn on the ventilation hood above your range on high.
3 Heat the empty oven at 450 degrees F for:
30 minutes using BAKE
15 minutes using BROIL (Main oven only).
See sections ‘Using your oven for baking and roasting’ and ‘Using your oven for broiling’ for instructions. There will be a distinctive smell while you are conditioning the oven. This is normal. Make
sure the kitchen is well ventilated during the conditioning.
4 Once cooled, wipe the oven interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and dry thoroughly.
Seasoning the griddle
1 Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any protective coating.
2 Rinse with a mixture of 1 cup water and ¼ cup white vinegar, then dry thoroughly.
3 Pour 1 tsp vegetable (but not corn) oil into the center of the griddle, then rub it over its entire
surface, using a soft, heavy cloth.
4 Turn the griddle knob counterclockwise to 350oF.
5 When the oil begins to smoke, turn the knob clockwise to OFF and allow the griddle to cool.
6 Repeat steps 3 to 5.
7 Wipe the entire surface of the griddle using a soft, heavy cloth.
8 Apply a very thin layer of vegetable (but not corn) oil.
9 Check the grease drip-pan and clean if necessary. Discard any liquid or soiling that may have
collected in the grease drip-pan during the conditioning.
The griddle is now ready to use.
For best results, re-season the griddle after long periods of non-use.
Note: the griddle will darken with use. This is normal.
