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 tempera-

ture. 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. Cleaning a hot range can cause burns.

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular

attention to the area around each burner element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

Always follow the manufacturer's recommended

directions for use of kitchen cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and

aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury. Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning

hoods.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

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 responsi- bility 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.

Grounding type wail receptacle

Do not cut, remove, or bypass the grounding

plug under any circumstances.

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 room.

Power supply cord with 3-prong grounding plug

Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an adapter plug, and extension cord, or remove

grounding prong from the power cord. Failure to follow this warning may cause serious injury, fire, or

death. This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding i

plug. For your protection it should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

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 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.

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.
