Important Safety Instructions
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Gas ranges have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with
any appliance, there are specific installation and safety precautions which must be followed
to ensure safe and satisfactory operation.
lectrical shock, injury
to persons, or damage when using the range,
follow basic
precautions,
WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly,
a fire or explosion could result causing death, personal injury, or
property damage.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
l
Do not try to light any appliance.
l
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your
building.
l
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow
the gas supplier’s instructions.
l
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
including the following:
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
service agency, or the gas supplier.
General
l
Install or locate the range only in
accordance with the provided Installation
Instructions. The range must be installed
by a qualified installer. The range must
be properly connected to the proper gas
supply and checked for leaks. The range
must also be properly connected to
electrical supply and grounded.
l
Gas fuels and their use in appliances
can cause minor exposures to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and
soot, primarily from incomplete
combustion. Significant exposure to
these substances could cause cancer or
reproductive harm. Properly adjusted
burners with a blue, rather than a yellow,
flame will minimize incomplete combustion. Venting with a hood or an open
window will further minimize exposure.
l
Do not store things children might want
above the range. Children could be
burned or injured while climbing on it.
l
Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the range is in
use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the range.
They could be burned or injured.
l
Do not operate the range if it is dam-
aged or not working properly.

l Do not use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
l Do not attempt to light the oven burner
during a power failure. Personal injury
could result. Reset oven controls to the
off position in the event of a power
failure.
l Use the range only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
l Do not touch surface burners, areas
near surface burners, or interior surfaces
of oven. Areas near surface burners and
interior surfaces of an oven become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact surface
burners, areas near surface burners, or
interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces
of the range, such as the oven vent
opening, the surface near the vent
opening, the cooktop, and the oven door
and window, could also become hot
enough to cause burns.
‘\
4s
l Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the range. They could ignite
if they touch an open flame and you could
be burned.
l Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder
touch an open flame. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It could
catch on fire.
l Keep range vents unobstructed.
l Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
l Use only utensils approved for oven use
Follow utensil manufacturer’s instructions, especially when using glass or
plastic utensils.
l Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
l Do not use the oven for storage.
l Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner well area, oven bottom, or any
other part of the range. Use aluminum
foil only as recommended in this manual.
l Never use a match or other flame to look
for a gas leak. Explosion and injury
could result.
l Know where your main gas shutoff valve
is located.
When using the cooktop
l Make sure the utensils you use are large
enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splatter-
ing or spillovers left on a range could
ignite and burn you. Pan size is
especially important in deep fat frying.
l Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the range. Only
certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
l Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that could ignite.
l Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface burners. This will help
reduce the chance of burns, igniting of
flammable materials, and spills due to
bumping of the pan.
l Do not use decorative covers or trivets
over the surface burners.
When using the oven
@Always position the oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
l Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
l Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop or in
vents, Wipe spillovers immediately.
Care and cleaninn
l Do not clean door heat seal. It is essen-
tial for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or move the
seal. Clean only parts recommended in
this Use and Care Guide.
l Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified technician.
*Any additions, changes, or conversions
required in order for this appliance to
satisfactorily meet the application needs
must be made by a Whirlpool Service
Company or Qualified Agency.
l Disconnect the electrical supply and the
gas supply at the shutoff valve near the
range before servicing the range.
l Do not use water on grease fires,
Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother
flaming pan by covering with a well-fitted
lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available,
a multipurpose dry chemical or foamtype extinguisher.

Using the surface burners
Your range is equipped with electric ignitors.
Electric ignitors automatically light the
burners each time they are used.
Push in the control knob and turn
counterclockwise to the LITE position. The
clicking sound is the ignitor sparking.
Visually check that burner has lit.
To stop the clicking sound after the
burner lights, turn the control knob to the
desired cook setting. The control knob has
six cook settings. However, you can set the
control knob anywhere between HI and
OFF.
Page

NOTE: All the electric ignitors will click at
the same time. However, the burner with
the control knob turned to LITE is the one
that will ignite.
Surface burner markers
The solid dot in the surface burner marker
shows which surface burner is turned on by
that knob.
Burner heat settings
Use correct burner heat settings (see next
page). If the heat setting is too high, it can:
l Char bacon and cause curling.
l Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.
l Toughen liver, fish, and seafood.
l Scorch delicate sauces and custards.
l Cause a boilover.
Until you get used to the settings, use
the following as a guide. For best results,
start cooking at the high setting; then turn
the control knob down to continue cooking.

Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the
control knob to the LITE position. After the
burner lights, turn the control knob to the
desired setting.
Fire Hazard
Burner flame should not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
Be sure all control knobs are turned to
OFF when you are not cooking.
Failure to follow these precautions could
result in fire or burns.
NOTE: Do not leave an empty utensil, or
one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface
burner. The utensil could overheat and
damage the utensil or cooking product.
Cookware tips
No one brand of cookware is best for all
people. Knowing something about pan
materials and construction will help you
select the correct cooking utensils for your
needs.
l NOTE: For best results and greater fuel
efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cookware in good condition.
l The pan should have straight sides and a
tight-fitting lid.
l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-
ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.
l The pan material (metal or glass) affects
how fast heat transfers from the surface
burners through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.
Choose pans that provide the best cooking
results.
l Handles should be made of a sturdy, heat-
resistant material and be securely attached
to the pan.
8
l Pans should be easy to clean. Check to be
sure there are no crevices, rough edges,
or areas where food might collect.
l Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are
full or empty.
l Use cookware only as it was intended to
be used. Follow pan instructions. This is
very important for glass cookware because
some should be used only in the oven.
Other pans are marked as flameware and
may be used on the surface burners.
Home canning information
The large diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can cause
damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:
l For best results, use a canner which can
be centered over the surface burner.
l Do not place canner on two surface
burners at the same time. Too much heat
will build up and will damage the cooktop.
l Start with hot water. This reduces the
time the control is set on high. Reduce
heat setting to lowest position needed to
keep water boiling.
l Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
Positioning racks and
For baking/roasting with one rack, place
the rack so the top of the food will be
centered in the oven.
Rack placement for specific foods:
FOOD
Frozen pies, large
roasts, turkeys, angel guide from bottom
food cakes
Bundt cakes, most
quick breads, yeast
breads, casseroles,
meats
Cookies, biscuits,
muffins, cakes,
nonfrozen pies
When baking on two racks, arrange racks
on first and third rack guides from bottom.

Personal Injury Hazard
Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location before turning oven
on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.
If rack(s) must be moved while oven
is hot, use pot holders or oven mitts
to protect hands.
Do not place items on the open oven
door.
Be careful when installing and removing large food items from extra oven
rack position. Food will be close to hot
surfaces, including oven bottom and
sides.
Failure to follow the above precautions
could result in personal injury.
