IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

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 isturned 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/ Bake=n=Warm TM Double Oven (if equipped). 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

underneath each surface element. 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.

settingsurfaCecontroIs

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.

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 push in and turn knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Setting Surface Controls

Your range may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. The

Simmer burner (some models) is best used for simmering delicate food items such as sauces, etc.

The standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs. Some models

include a center burner (or griddle burner). Note: Before using the center burner with the griddle, REMOVE the center burner grate from the cooktop and replace with the griddle.

The Power Plus burner or burners (some models) are best used for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

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.

Operating the Gas Surface Burners:

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the

OFF position.

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.

3. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame

size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the guides and 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.)

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 for cooking.

*Flame Size High Flame

Medium Flame

INCORRECT

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge ofthe utensil. A higher flame simply

wastes heat and energy, and increases your r sk of be ng burned by the fame.

*These settings are based on using medium=weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. 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 ifflame is yellow-orange.

LowFlame

Fordeep fatfrying, 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

will neither brown nor cook properly.

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.
