• User servicing--Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance unless specificaly
recommended in the manuMs. All other
servicing should be clone only by a qualified
technician. This may reduce the risk of personal
injury and damage to the range.
• Never modify or alter the construction of a
range by removing leveling legs, panels, wire
covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other
part of the product.
• Air curtain or other overhead range hoods,
which operate by blowing adownward air
flow on to a range, shall not be used in
conjunction with gas ranges other than when
the hood and range have been designed,
tested and listed by an independent test
laboratory for use in combination with each
other.
• Storage inor on Appliance--Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven,
warmer drawer, near surface burners or in the
storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic
and cloth items, such as cookbooks,
plasticware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol
CARS,on or near the range.
• Remove the oven door from any unused
rant if it is to be stored or discarded.
near surface burners may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials touch
these areas until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Among these areas are the cook top,
surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and window.
Wear proper apparel--Loose-fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance, Do not let clothing or
other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
° Do not use water or flour on grease fires--
Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking
soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to
become too hot.
° Use only dry pothoiders - Moist or damp
pothoiders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
° Do not heat unopened food containers -
Buildup of pressure may cause container to
burst and result in injury.
Important safety instructions
Safety
Important instuctions for using your
cooktop
• Know which knob controls each surface
burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before
turning it on, and turn the burner off before
removing the pan
• Always turn knob to the full LiTE position
when igniting top burners. Visually check that
burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners--
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface
burners.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at
high heat settings--Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan
that has boiled dry may melt.
• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to
line surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except
as suggested in this manual Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock, or fire.
Important instructions for using your
OVeR
• Use care when opening oven door or lower
oven drawer (if equipped)--Stand to the side of
the range when opening the door of a hot oven
Let hot air or steam escape before you remove
or replace food in the oven.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The
oven vent is located below the backguard.
Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven
is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do
not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite
• Placement of oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven is hot use
extreme caution Use potholders and grasp the
rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contact the hot heating elements in
the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving
• Do not use the broiler pan without insert. The
broiler pan and insert allows dripping fat to drain
and be kept away from the high heat of the
broiler.
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum
foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Cold temperatures can damage the electronic
control When using the appliance for the first
time, or when the appliance has not been used
for an extended period of time, be certain the
unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C)
for at least 3 hours before turning on the power
to the appliance.
• Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cook top
use.

Getting Started
About the griddle (some models)
Your new appliance is supplied with a griddle. Use
the raised grill side of the griddle -Fig. 1- to cook
meats such as sausage, steak, bacon, or other
items that produce grease when cooking. Use the
smooth side of the griddle -Fig. 2- to cook items
such as pancakes, eggs or grilled cheese
sandwiches.
The griddle will perform best on the left side, but
may be used on the right side. Make sure that all
burners are turned off before placing the griddle on
the grates.
Before first use
1. Wash griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then
dry completely.
2. Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire
surface (front and back of griddle).
3. Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven
OFF and let cool before removing.
4. The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to
it from the seasoning process. If desired, wash
the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and
dry completely.
Using the griddle
• Place either side of the griddle centered over the
left or right side of gas burner grates. Be sure
locking tabs fit properly on top of grates -Fig. 1-.
° Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to
medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even
heat distribution during the cooking process.
• DO NOT preheatthe griddle on HI burner setting.
Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and
prevent even heat distribution.
Locking tabs
\
Grill side up
After each use
• DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.
• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot
water only.
• Dry immediately and apply a light coating of
vegetable oil to griddle before storing.
• To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep
uncovered.

Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow a
space of 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for
proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door,
sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must
be able to circulate around the pans and cookware
in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Surface Cooking
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence
the setting needed for best cooking results.
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good
contact with the entire burner grate surface. Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of
the cookware.
Cookware should always:
* Have a flat bottom.
, Have tight fitting lids.
, Be well balanced.
, Be made of a material that conducts heat well.
, Be easy to clean.
Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and
quickly heat is transferred from the surface burner
to the pan bottom. The most popular materials
available are:
• Aluminum - Excellentheatconductor. Some
types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized
aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting).
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors
easily.
° Stainless steel - Slow heat conductor with
uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean
and resists staining.
• Cast iron - A poor heat conductor however will
retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking
temperature is reached.
• Porcelain-enamelon metal - Heating
characteristics will vary depending on base
material.
• Glass- Slow heat conductor.
