IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
WARNING
Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust fl ame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner
fl ame to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to fl ame will also
improve effi ciency.
•
Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface burners of different sizes.
Select utensils having fl at bottoms large enough
to cover the surface burner. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the burner fl ame to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to fl ame will also improve
effi ciency.
4
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Know which knob controls each surface burner.
Place pan of food on the burner before turning it on,
and turn the burner off before removing the pan.
• 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 fi re.
WARNING
Do not use stove top grills on your 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.
• Always turn the knob to the full LITE position
when igniting top burners. Visually check that the
burner has lit. Then adjust the fl ame 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 fl ammable
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 over 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. Protective liners or aluminum
foil may interfere with heat and air distribution, and
combustion. Damage to the cooktop or personal injury
may result.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If
a burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able
to see that the burner is on. 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warm
& Serve Drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the side
of the appliance when opening the door/drawer of a
hot appliance. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven/drawer.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven
is vented at the center 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.
WARNING
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 fl ow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap
heat, causing a fi re hazard.
• Placement of Oven/Warm & Serve Drawer (if
equipped) Racks. Always place oven/Warm & Serve
Drawer (if equipped) racks in desired location while
appliance is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack
before removing rack. If rack must be moved while
oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot holders and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
pot holders contact the hot oven burner or interior of
the oven.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom
with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could
ignite.
• Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp
cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to the
appliance before removing and replacing the bulb.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR OVEN
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fi re. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease fi lters should be kept
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fi re. Refer to the hood
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Cleaners/Aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s
recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess
residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and/or injury.
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of
the appliance listed in this Owner’s Guide. Before
using the self-cleaning cycle of the appliance, remove
all utensils stored in the appliance.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken

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 (see Figures 1 & 2).
The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface
cooking needs. The standard burners are located at the
left front position on the cooktop (see Figures 1 & 2).
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 burners
are located at the right front and left rear burner
positions on the cooktop (see Figures 1 & 2).
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable
for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a
burner and fl ame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow
fl ames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Figure 2 - Model B
Figure 1 - Model A
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.
REMEMBER — 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.

OFF
Operating the gas surface controls
1. 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 fi gures 1 & 2). 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 fl ame.
5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the
desired fl ame size. The control knobs do not have to
be set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator
settings to adjust the fl ame 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.)
CAUTION
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 fi re if placed too close to a
fl ame.
Setting proper surface burner fl ame 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 fl ame size for various types
of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the
amount of food being cooked will infl uence 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.
IncorrectCorrect
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
Do not operate the burner for an extended period
of time without cookware on the grate. The fi nish
on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the
heat.
Figure 1
(All models)
Figure 2
(Model B only)
Never extend the fl ame beyond the outer edge of the
utensil. A higher fl ame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases the risk of being burned by the gas
fl ame.
NOTE
*Note: Settings are based on using mediumweight metal or aluminum pans. Settings may
vary when using other types of pans. The color
of the fl ame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A
good fl ame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a welllighted room. Each cone of fl ame should be steady and
sharp. Clean burner if fl ame is yellow-orange.
IMPORTANT
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. Use caution when
lighting surface burners manually.

Oven vent location
The oven is vented at the center rear of the cooktop.
When the oven is on, warm air is released 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
aluminium foil or any other material.
(Model B shown only)
CAUTION
Some models are equipped with a blower
which runs in baking and self-cleaning mode
to keep all internal components at a cool
temperature. The blower may keep running
even if the oven has been turned off, until the
components have cooled down.
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.
Arranging oven racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS
COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use
oven mitts when using the oven.
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it
stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.
To replace an oven rack, fi t the rack onto the guides
on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and
slide the rack back into place.

Figure 1
Flat handle oven rack
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting the
oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if
possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.
The Flat Oven Handle Rack has an handle to facilitate
the sliding of the rack when large amount of foods weight
on it.
The Flat Oven Half Rack has a removable insert that
can provide extra space for larger food items. The right
half rack portion may still be used for other food items
like a casserole dish (See Figure 2 & 3). To remove the
insert, squeeze on the left front insert side (See Figure
5) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall, insert
rear hooks at back of insert (See fi gure 5) and lay insert
down. Make sure both insert front hooks snap into rack
(See fi gure 6).
Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge
of the Flat Half Rack. For best results, allow 2 inches
between the pan placed on the rack and oven side or
rear walls.
