the power resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Once
the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
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

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.
