Important Safety Instructions

• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, near surface burners
or in the drawer (if equipped). 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 appliance.
Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or
property damage.

• 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 burners 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 cooktop, surfaces facing the
cooktop, 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.

IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
off the oven. If the oven is not turned off and the power

resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Once the
power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance
for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long
period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.

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.

Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill
on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposure to carbon
monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This
can be hazardous to your health.

• 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.

In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to

turn off the main gas shutoff valve.

• Use only dry potholders—Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do

not let potholders touch hot heating burners. 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.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.

• 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 the 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.

• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the surface burner to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship
of utensil to the surface burner will also improve
efficiency.

• 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 to adjacent surface
burners.

Important Safety Instructions

• 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.

• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.

• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The searing
grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so
may result in a fire.

• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if
the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done
to the cooktop or burners because the covers may
cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner
and cause combustion problems.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop—If cooktop

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.

• Clean cooktop glass with caution—If a wet sponge or

cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door or warmer 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/
warmer drawer.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is

located at the center rear of the cooktop. Touching the
surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may
cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat­sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items
could melt or ignite.

• Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped)
racks. Always place oven racks in desired location

while oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) 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/warmer drawer (if equipped).
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow 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.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.

Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation

hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are
flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the
hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

• 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

• In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed
in this Use and Care Guide. 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.

5

Important Safety Instructions

• 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.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left

in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self­cleaning cycle of the range. Move the birds to another
well ventilated room.

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.

Grounding Instructions

For personal safety, the cooktop must be properly grounded. For
maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an electrical
outlet that is correctly polarized and properly grounded.

It is very important to make sure that all of the Surface Burner Heads,
Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates are installed correctly and
at the correct locations.

1. Place all 4 Burner Heads in the correct locations (See Figure 1). Make
sure that the correct Burner Head is placed with the corresponding
Orifice Holder and that the Electrode is located properly in the slot of
each Burner Head (See Figure 2). Proper Burner Head placement
insures that each Burner will have the correct spark required for surface
gas ignition.

2. Place the correct Burner Caps at each of the burner locations (Burner
Cap Pilot Hole must face up). Each of the 4 (four) Burner Heads MUST
have a Burner Cap installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size
and must be in place with the Pilot Hole facing up BEFORE placing the
Burner Grates (See Figure 2).

3. Place the 2 (two) cast iron Burner Grates supplied with the range.
Carefully lineup the 2 Grate Pins on each Grate with the Cap Pilot Holes
in the 2 Burner Caps on each side of the range. DO NOT force the
Burner Grates onto the Burner Caps. Forcing the grates down onto
improperly installed Burner Heads and Burner Caps may damage the
gas burners. Each Burner Cap is designed with a Cap Pilot Hole in the
top center of the Cap. Visually check that ALL the Grate Pins line up
into the Burner Cap Pilot Holes (See Figure 2). Properly installed
Burner Grates will rest with all four Grate legs on the glass cooktop.

4. Place the 2 (two) flue covers over the inner vent cover as shown on
figure 3.

REMEMBER — DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS

OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER

Setting Surface Controls

Control Locations of the Gas Surface Burners

Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with 3
different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and
in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.

The small SIMMER burner is best used for simmering
delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear
burner position on the cooktop (see figure 1).

The STANDARD burners can be used for most surface
cooking needs. The 2 burners are located at the left front and
rear burner positions on the cooktop (see figure 1).

The POWER burner is best used for bringing large quantities
of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger
quantities of food. The POWER burner is located at the left
front burner position on the cooktop (see figure 1).

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable
for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a
burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow

Setting Surface Controls

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

For most cooking - start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower

one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for
determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of

Correct

RIGHT

WRONG

Incorrect

Never extend the flame beyond the outer
edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply
wastes heat and energy, and increases
the risk of being burned by the gas flame.

*Note: Settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum pans. Settings may vary when using other types
of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-

lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed.

*Flame Size Type of Cooking

High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

For deep fat frying - use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the
fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown
nor cook properly.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Air Circulation in the Oven

If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger
cookware as shown.

For best air circulation and baking results allow 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
circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach
around the food.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep

all internal components at a cool temperature. It is possible that the blower keeps running even if the range has
been turned off, until the components have cooled down.

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven
mitts when the oven is hot.

Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located in the center
rear on the cooktop. When the oven is

on, warm air passes through the vent.
This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking
results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.
Never close off the openings with
aluminum foil or any other material.

Cooking Informations

Broiling

Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.

Preheating

Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot
metal.) To preheat, set the control(s) to BROIL as instructed in the Owner's Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot,
usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.

To Broil

Broil on side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop"
position before turning or removing food.

Determine Broiling Times

Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from element, but on the thickness and
aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than second. Frozen
meats also require additional time.

Broiling Tips

The broiler pan and it grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler.

Grid

DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The
exposed grease could ignite.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the
oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use fire extinguisher. DO
NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Broiler Clean-Up Tips:

To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO
NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as
cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy
water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may
scratch the grid.

Care & Cleaning

Self-Cleaning

During the Self-Cleaning

cycle, the outside of the range can become
very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small
children unattended near the appliance.

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 well-ventilated
room.

DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the
range with aluminum foil. Doing so will
destroy heat distribution, produce poor
baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil
will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

DO NOT force the oven
door open. This can damage the automatic
door locking system. Use caution when
opening the door after the Self-Cleaning
cycle is completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.

Self-Cleaning Oven

A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part

of the Self-Cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or remove the gasket.

• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so

could cause damage.

• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil.
These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

• Oven racks do not have to be removed. If they are not removed during the

Self-Clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull.
After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad
oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).

• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the
Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

CLEAN

FRAME

NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed.

What to Expect during Cleaning:

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher
than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contrac­tion are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed.
Smoke may appear through the oven vent.

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and
cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should

Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and
a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do
not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made
for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as
bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Remove racks. See "To remove and to replace an oven rack" under Oven vent(s) and
racks. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with
clean water and dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper
or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide
easier into the rack positions).

Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well.
You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse
the door in water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door
vents. DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning
materials on the outside of the oven door.

DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material,
on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to

Care & Cleaning

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance (Some models)

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

1) Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.

2) Aluminum utensils

The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or
pans are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage,
fusing or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These
marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can
become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide

anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop,

they may cause it to crack.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.

Things to Remember

1. AVOID using bleach and don’t use ammonia to clean the
ceramic surface.

2. Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.

3. Never slide oven racks across cooktop surface. They may
scratch or metalmark the cooktop.

4. If cooktop should break, do not use cooktop or attempt to

clean it. Call your authorized service technician immedi­ately.

5. Never use a trivet or metal stand between the cooking utensil
and the ceramic cooktop. The ceramic surface may be
scratched, metal marked or etched by such items.

6. Sugary spills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface.
Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop
is still hot. Use caution when following the steps below.
a) Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.
b) Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper to scrape

the hot spill out of the cooking zone to a cooler area on the
cooktop.

c) Allow the cooktop to cool.

Use and Care of Glass Surface

Problem

Fine "brown lines
(tiny scratches or
abrasion which
have collected
soil).

Metal marking
(mark or black
marks).

Brown streaks
and specks.

Cause

Coarse particles (salt, sand, or
grit) between bottom of cook­ware and cooktop that are not re­moved before cooking.
Using incorrect cleaning materi­als.

Sliding or scraping metal uten­sils or oven shelves across
cooktop.

Cleaning with a sponge or dish­cloth that has been used for
other kitchen tasks.

To Prevent

Clean cooktop after every
use.

Use cleaner creme daily.

Do not slide cookware
across cooktop.

Use cleaner creme with
clean damp paper towel.

To Remove

Tiny scratches are not removable.
They can be minimized by continual
use of cleaner creme. Such scratches
do not affect cooking.

Apply cleaner creme with dampened
paper towel to a cooled surface.

Use a small amount of cleaner creme
with clean, damp paper towel.

NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when the

element will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its original white color after it
has completely cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).

Cleaning Materials for Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Some cleaning materials may contain an ingredient which can damage the cooktop. Use
recommended materials only (see below). Cleaner cream should be used regularly. Prior to using
your cooktop for the first time, apply a cleaner cream to the ceramic surface. A sample of CERAMA

BRYTE® cleaner cream is supplied with your range. More are available in stores if needed.
Use only recommended cleaning products and follow these basic cleaning suggestions.

1. BEFORE THE COOKTOP IS USED. Thoroughly clean and saturate the cooktop with cleaner
cream.
a) Dampen clean paper towel and clean unit.
b) Wipe off with another clean, damp paper towel; then wipe dry.

2. For normal daily cleaning, apply a dab of cleaner cream in the center of each unit-area to be
cleaned. Start with approximately 1/8 teaspoon. (Apply more if needed). Then, proceed as stated
above in (a and b).

3. Make sure bottom of cookware and cooking area are clean and dry.

4. Select heat settings and cookware large enough for food and liquid. This stops boilovers and
spatterings.

5. Wipe up food spills and spatters before they burn into surface.

CERAMA BRYTE®
(Cleaner cream for
ceramic cooktops)

IMPORTANT Regularly use cleaner cream. If you run out of cleaner cream, use one of the clean-

ers listed. Be sure to get a new supply of cleaner cream.

Never mix cleaning products! Mixtures may interact, with damaging or hazardous

results.
