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.

• 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 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 posi-

tioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface burners.

Never leave surface burners unattended at high
heat settings -- Boil overs cause smoking and
greasy spill overs that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt.

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 recom-
mendations for cook top use.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN

• Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.

Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the oven 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. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-

sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items can 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 in hot, do not let
potholders contact hot heating element in oven.
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
cookware and utensils before moving the rack.

Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and
grease could ignite.

Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as

suggested in the manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or

fire.

• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook
in proper cookware and always use the over racks.

• When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

Control locations of the gas surface burners

Assembly of the burner caps and burner grates

Your built-in 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 (some models) is best used for
simmering delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at
the right rear burner position on the cooktop (Figure 1). The
standard burner can be used for most surface cooking

needs. The standard burners are located at the left front
and left rear positions on the cooktop.

The power burners are best used for bringing large quanti-
ties of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing

larger quantities of food. The POWER burner is located at
the right front position on the cooktop.

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

flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

It is very important to make sure that all of the surface
burner caps and surface burner grates are installed
correctly and at the correct locations.

1. Remove all packing material from cooktop area.

2. Discard all packing material (if applicable).

3. Unpack burner grates and position on the cooktop.

On round style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure 2) should

fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level. Refer

to Figure 3 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement.
Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the

burner cap from side to side (Figure 4) to be sure it is
centered and firmly seated. When the burner cap lip makes

contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able
to hear the burner cap click.

Double Ring style burners (some models)

The Double Ring burner only operates properly with two
burner caps in place. Be sure the burner cap lips are posi-
tioned facing down towards the burner head and into the
recessed areas (Figure 5) on each side of the burner head.
Be sure both burner caps are seated firmly and rest level on
the burner head before operating.

Check the fit for each cap using the same method for the
round burner caps by gently sliding each cap from side to
side. Please note that the burner cap lips should not move

out of recessed areas of the burner head.

• Check and be sure that all oval style (some models)
burner caps are correctly in place on oval burner

heads.
Do not use the surface burners without the burner

caps and burner grates properly installed.
Missing pieces or improper installation may lead to

spills, burns, or damage to your range and cookware.
Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on

the cooktop before using the surface burners
(Figure 6). The grates are designed to rest inside the
recess on the cooktop.

To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down
and align into the cooktop recess.

• Grates should rest flush against each other and
against the sides of the recess.

Using Proper Cookware

Cookware Material Types
The most popular materials available are:

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.
Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if

placed too close to a flame. Do not operate the burner for
an extended period of time without cookware on the

grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware
to absorb the heat.

Important: Do not place aluminum foil or any material that
can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may
damage the cooktop.

For best cooking results, cookware should have flat
bottoms that rest level on the burner grate. Before using
cookware, check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (Figure 7).

• 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
Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results.

Durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

• Cast Iron
A slow 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.

Figure 7: Checking pan for flat bottom
Please note: The size and type of utensil used, and the

amount and type of food being cooked will influence the
burner flame setting needed for best cooking results.

Operating the gas surface controls

Setting proper surface burner flame size

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclock-

wise out of the OFF position.

,

Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position
(Figure 8). 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.

, 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 elec-
tronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in
the LITE position.)

OFF

Start on the highest control setting and adjust to the desired
setting. Use the recommendations below as a guide for
determining proper flame size for various types of cooking.
The size and type of 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 slow boil

• Thicken sauces and
gravies

• Steaming foods

Low Flame • Keep foods cooking,

poaching and stewing

IncorrectCorrect

Figure 8: Gas knob LITE position

Figure 9: Gas flame adjustment

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.

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 slowly turn the
surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights turn the
knob to desired setting.

Settings based on using medium weight metal or
aluminum pans. Settings may vary using other types of

pans. The color of the flame is key to proper burner i:_
adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue, and hardly visible

in a well-lighted room. Each cone of the flame should be !:
steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

Setting Surface Controls

Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized
surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in
larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is
important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount
and type of food being prepared.

The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best
suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard size burners may be used for most surface
cooking needs. Some models are equipped with a center

burner.
The larger POWER burners (on some models) or TURBO

BOIL burner (on some models) are recommended for
bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when
preparing larger quantities of food.

To set surface burners:

,

Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate.
Be sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner
grate.

,

Push the desired surface control knob in and turn coun-
terclockwise out of the OFF position.

,

Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE
position. Visually check that the burner is lit.

,

Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in
and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size.

Use the control knob markings and adjust the flame as
needed.

Important:

Do not cook with the surface control knob left in the Lite
position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if

the control knob setting remains in the MTE position.
When setting any surface control knob to the Lite

position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the
same time. However, only the surface burner you are
setting will ignite.

Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This
can cause uneven heating results.

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

When operating the oven, it is possible for residual heat
from the oven to build-up and over time to eventually
transfer to the surface control knobs located directly

above the oven door.

OFF

Figure 10: Proper way to set burners

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

cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if

placed too close to the range cooktop.
Do not place aluminum foil or any material that can melt on

the range cooktop. If these items melt they may perma-
nently damage the cooktop surface.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed

1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.

• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

Setting Double Ring Burner (some models)

The versatile Double Ring surface burner offers a complete
range of gas surface settings from the same burner
position.

At the lowest setting, only the burner's inner ring is active,
using a smaller flame perfect for simmering. The burner's
outer ring when set for HI will provide a gas flame that may
be used to bring a large pan of liquid to boil quickly.

ea

Figure 13: Placing burner caps correctly

Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the
cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if
placed too close to the range cooktop.

Do not place aluminum foil, or any material that can melt on
the range cooktop. If these items melt they may perma-
nently damage the cooktop surface.

Do not cook with the surface control knob left in the
LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to

spark if the control knob setting remains in the LITE
position.

When setting any surface control knob to the LITE
position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the
same time. However, only the surface burner you are
setting will ignite.

Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This
can cause uneven heating results.

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

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located in the rear of the cooktop. When
the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven
and good baking results. While the oven is in operation, it is
normal for steam or moisture to appear near the vent.

Important: Do not block oven vent.

Figure 14: Do not block oven vent location

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the

oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven
racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause

burns.

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset
oven racks

To arrange

• Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool
(prior to operating the oven).

To remove

• Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the
stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide

out.

To replace

Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of
oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly
and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven

racks are level before using.

Important: Remove all oven racks and accessories from
the oven before performing a self clean operation.

Air circulation in the oven
For best results the air circulation must be optimal when

baking. Allow a space of 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation.

Be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the
oven door, sides, or back of the oven cavity.

Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware for even
heat to reach the food.

Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in

this manual. Improper installation of these liners may :
result in risk of electric shock or fire.
