Safety
Important safety instructions
Remove all tape and packaging before using the range. Destroy the carton and plastic bags
after unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with packaging material.
Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223- latest edition, or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1 and CAN/GGA B149.2, and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.70-latest edition, or in Canada CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local code requirements.
Install only per installation instructions provided in the literature package for this range.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.
User servicing—Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other
servicing should be done 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 a downward 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 in or 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 cans, on or near the range.
Remove the oven door from any unused
range if it is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT
Do not attempt to operate the range during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off
the range. If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
Do not leave children alone—Children should
not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS,
AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface and oven burners may be
hot even though flames are not visible. Areas 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 potholders - Moist or damp
potholders 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 instructions for using your cooktop
Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.
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 oven
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.

Safety
Important safety instructions
Important cleaning instructions
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular
attention to the area underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow
the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from
cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
Self cleaning ovens
Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self
cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
Do not use oven cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Do not clean door gasket—The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
Grounding Instructions
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is correctly polarized and properly grounded. If a 2­prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well­ventilated room.
Important Safety Notice
The California Safe Drinking Water 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.
• Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an adapter plug, an extension cord, or remove grounding prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.
• This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

Getting Started
Griddle (optional accessory)
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. Only season one side of the griddle at a time. Be sure to bake the seasoned side up.
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 preheat the griddle on HI burner setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

Types of oven racks
Your appliance is equipped with 2 styles of interior oven racks; 1 offset oven rack and 2 fully extendable Luxury-Glide™ oven racks.
offset oven rack
Fig. 1
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.
The offset -Fig 1- oven rack may be used in all of the rack positions. The offset design provides additional height options. For maximum available space if preparing a large turkey, it is suggested to place the rack near the oven bottom (rack positions 1 or 2) - refer to Fig. 3. Do not extend the offset rack past the oven door when in the lowest rack position.
fully extendable glide oven rack
Fig. 2
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (­refer to Fig. 3-). For best results when using a offset oven rack, place cookware on rack position 3 or 4.
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.
The fully extendable glide racks -Fig. 2- make food preparation easier. Especially when preparing heavier dishes. The glide oven rack has 2 glide tracks that allow you to extend your food away from the oven effortlessly without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.

Cookware
Surface Cooking
15
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 - Excellent heat conductor. 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-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.
Glass- Slow heat conductor.
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located below the backguard. When the oven is on, warm air is released through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation and provides good baking results in the oven. DO NOT BLOCK THIS VENT.
