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 NOTTOUCH 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.

• 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.

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 Jeast 3hours before
connecting it to the power suppJy.

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.

• Knowwhich 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 ignitionof 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 itis
turned inward, and does not extend to 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.

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 isaccidentally 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--lf 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 ifapplied 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 warm & serve

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/warm & serve 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 heat-

sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items
could melt or ignite.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages

in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the

oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil linings may trap heat, causing afire hazard.

Placement of oven/warm & serve drawer (if equipped)
racks. Always place oven racks in desired location
while oven/warm & serve drawer (if equipped) iscool. 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 inthe oven/warm & serve drawer
(if equipped). Remove all utensils from the rack before
moving.

• Do not use a 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 your 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 instructionsfor 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 all 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 " 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 self-cleaning cycle of the range. Move the birds

to another well ventilated room.

Control Locations of the Gas Surface Burners

Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with
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 islocated at the right rear

burner position on the cooktop (see Figure 2).

The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface
cooking needs. The standard burners are located at the left

front position and left rear position (some models) on the
cooktop (see Figure 2).

The POWER burners are best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid rapidly up totemperature orwhen preparing

larger quantities of food. The POWER burners are located at
the right front and left rear (some models) burner positions on
the cooktop (see Figure 2).

Regardless of size, always select cookware that issuitable
for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a

burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on

top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire
if placed too close to a flame.

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match
to the burner head, then slowlytu m the surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights turn the knob to desired setting. Use
caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Operating the Gas Surface Controls:

t. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF
position.

3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (see figure 1). Note: All four
electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you
are turning on will ignite.

4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.

5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control
knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings

to adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob in the
LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the
LITE position.)

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

*Flame Size

High Flame

Medium Flame

Low Flame

Incorrect

Never extend the flame beyond the outer]
edge ofthe 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 isthe key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible ina well-

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

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.

J

Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

Air Circulation in the Oven

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 nottouch
each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must
circulate around the pans and cookware inthe oven for even heat to reach

around the food.

Some models are equipped with a blower which
runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep all internal
components at acool temperature, it is possible that the blower

keeps running even if the range has been turned off, until the
components have cooled down.

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. Some Models

Broiling Tips (some models)

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

DO NOT use your 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 (some models): Broiler Pan
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.

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 toanother well-ventilated

room.

DO NOT line the oven

walls, racks, bottom or anyother 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:

• DONOTuseovencleanersorovenprotectivecoatingsinoraroundanypart
of the Self-Cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door
gasket is essential fora 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 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 inthe 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.

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 inoperation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher

than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contrac-
tion are normal. Odor isalso 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

DO NOT HAND

DO HAND
CLEAN DOOR

Note: See additional cleaning information
for the oven door in the General Care &

Cleaning section.

CLEAN SEAL

not cause alarm, if available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning

cycle.

NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a

colorless vapor.

To Set the Self=Clean Cycle

Refer to the Oven Control Guide for Self-Clean Cycle settings.
