IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
CONVERSION TO L.P. GAS
This appliance allows for conversion to Liquefied
Petroleum (L.P.) Gas.
If L.P. conversion is needed, contact your local L.P.
Gas provider for assistance. The L.P. conversion kit is
provided with this appliance and is located on the
lower REAR (back side) panel of the range. Before
installing the kit be sure to read the L.P. Installation
Instructions and follow them carefully when making
the installation.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Never use the appliance for warming or heating
the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). 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 clear. 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.
• Always handle oven racks when the oven is cool.
Place oven racks in desired positions while the
oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the
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 cookware and
utensils before moving the rack.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook
in proper cookware and always use the over racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOK TOP
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.
• 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 and check that burner has lit.
Adjust flame so it does not extend beyond the
edge of cookware.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at high
heat settings — spill overs cause smoking and
greasy spills that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt.
• Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of
cookware are suitable for cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations
for cook top use.
• When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Do not
cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not use aluminum foil or other protective liners
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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For personal safety, the cook top must be properly
grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must
be plugged into an electrical outlet that is correctly
polarized and properly grounded.
Do not operate the cook top using a 2-prong adapter
or an extension cord. If a 2-prong 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.
See the installation instructions packaged with this
cook top for complete installation and grounding
instructions.
• Use the self-clean cycle to clean only the parts
listed in this manual. Before using self-clean,
remove the broiler pan, any food, utensils, and
cookware from the oven. Remove oven racks
unless otherwise instructed.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven
cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of the
oven.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Do not rub,
damage, or move the gasket.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during the self-clean cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well-ventilated r
.

IMPORTANT
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Control locations of the gas surface burners
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 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 (Figure 1).
The power burners are 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 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.
Assembly of the surface burner caps and burner
grates
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.
Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas orifice holder opening.
Always keep the Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place
whenever the surface burners are in use.
