IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

r|.Vl:1;i#lh'[_l 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.

• 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. 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 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, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this

manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk

of electric shock, or fire.

• 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer--

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 Unobstructed. The oven vent is located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this

area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could 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 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 utensils from the rack before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan

and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed

fat and grease could ignite.

• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, be certain

the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at

least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease

that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area in and around each surface burner. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Refer to the range manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware

that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this

Owner's Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the

broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners--No commercial oven cleaner or

oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

• Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is essential for

a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or

move the gasket.

Your gas range was supplied with 4 different surface gas burners; a "SIMMER" Burner (5,000 BTU), a STANDARD burner (9,500 BTU), a "POWER" Burner (12,000 BTU) and a POWER PLUS TM Burner (14,000 BTU). When setting up the gas range for the first time, make sure that the correct

Burner Heads, Burner Caps and Burner Grates are correctly (See Fig. 1).

Assembly of the Surface Burner Heads, Burner Caps and

Burner Grates:

It is very important to makes sure that all of the Surface Burner Heads, Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates are installed correctly and in

the correct locations.

1. Place all 4 Burner Heads in the correct locations (See Fig. 1). Make sure that the correct Burner Head is placed with the corresponding Orifice

Holder and that the Electrode is located properly in the slot provided of each Burner Head (See Fig. 2). Proper Burner Head placement insures that each Burner will have the correct spark required for gas ignition.

2. Place the correct Burner Caps at each of the burner locations. Each of the 4 Burner Heads MUST have a Burner Cap installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size before placing the Burner Grates (See Fig. 2).

3. Place the 4 cast iron surface Burner Grates supplied with the range. After the surface grates been installed place the center grate between the four grates and be sure to interlock the grates correctly (See Fig. 3).

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.

Control Locations of the Gas Surface Burners

Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with 4 different BTU ratings. The ability to heat

food quicker and in larger volumes increases as

the burner size increases.

The smaller SIMMER burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. This burner is

located at the right rear burner position on the cooktop (See Fig. 1).

The STANDARD size burner can be used for most surface cooking needs. This burner is located at the left front burner position on the

cooktop (See Fig. 1).

The larger 2 POWER and POWER PLUS TM burners are best used for bringing large quantities

of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The two POWER and POWER PLUS TM Burners are

located at the left rear and right front burner (See

_ositions on the cooktop as shown in Fig. 1).

Operating the Gas Surface Burner Controls:

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (See Fig. 2).

3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. 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 aflame.

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.)

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. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too

close to a flame.

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

PROPER FLAME

SIZE

IMPROPER FLAME SIZE

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.

setting needed.

*Flame Size

High Flame

Medium Flame

Low Flame

For deep fat frying - use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be

undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food wilt neither brown nor cook properly.

*Note: Settings are based on using medium-weight 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 well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

Type of Cooking Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.

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

Arranging the Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO

OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when the oven is hot.

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located below the

backguard. When the oven is on, hot

air is released through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper air

circulation in the oven and good baking

results.
