IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR cooktop

WARNING

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.

•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 burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

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 fire.

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 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 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 flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire 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 fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

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 not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

•Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the appliance.

•Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

Conversion to Liquefied Petroleum

Gas (or L.P. Gas)

This natural gas range is designed to allow for conversion to Liquefied Petroleum (L.P.) Gas.

If L.P. conversion is needed, contact the service center for assistance. The L.P. Conversion Kit is provided with this cooktop and is located in the literature envelope.

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 flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Figure 2 - Model B

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.

Figure 1 - Model A

setting surface controls

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 figures 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 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.)

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 fire if placed too close to a flame.

CAUTION

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.

OFF

(All models)	(Model B only)

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.

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

Correct

Incorrect

IMPORTANT

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.

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 flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a welllighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

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.

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, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

(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.
