%_ _3_[_ Anti-Tip

/__ Range

To check if the anti-tip bracket is installed properly, use

both arms and grasp the rear edge of range back. Carefully attempt to tilt range forward. When properly installed, the range should not tilt forward.

Refer to the anti-tip bracket installation instructions supplied with your range for proper installation.

Save these instructions for future reference.

• Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawers of a range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the appliance. DO

NOT allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

• NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to

heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.

• 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.

• Storage in or on appliance -- to avoid a fire

hazard, flammable materials should not be stored

in an oven, near surface units or in the storage drawer, warmer drawer or lower oven. This

includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.

• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE -- to avoid

injuries or burns children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the range is in

use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on

any part of the range including the storage drawer,

lower broiler drawer, lower oven or warmer drawer.

• Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above a range or on the backguard of the range. Children climbing on the range to reach

items could be seriously injured.

• Do not touch surface burners, areas near

these burners, oven burners or interior

surfaces of the oven. Both surface and oven

burners may be hot even though flames are not visible. Areas near surface burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do

not touch, or let clothing or other flammable

materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven

door and window.

Wear proper apparel--loose-fitting or

hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other

flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

Do not use water or flour on grease fires -- flour

may be explosive. Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-

type extinguisher.

When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.

Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

Use dry potholders - moist or damp potholders

on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.

Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do not heat unopened food containers -

buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

• Besure to always have an appropriate foam-type fire extinguisher available, visible and easily accessible

located near the appliance.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range

by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip bracket/screws, or any other part of the range.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.

• User servicing -- Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.

For electric ignition models only: Do not attempt

to operate the range during a power failure. If the

power fails, always turn off the range. If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset

the clock and oven function.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door, warmer drawer or lower oven door--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 isoperating 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.

Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line

the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

Important Safety Notice

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to

such substances.

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

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.

Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood,

turn the fan on.

Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which

operate by blowing a downward air flow on to a range,

shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for

use in combination with each other.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

Grounding Instructions

• Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.

• Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.

• Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts

listed in this Use & Care Manual. 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.

• The health of some birds isextremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any

range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

IM PORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FORCLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention

to the area around each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

• 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.

• Clean ventilating hoods frequently--Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood

or filter. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for

cleaning hoods.

Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an adapter plug, an extension cord, or

remove grounding prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.

This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

For personal safety, the range must be properly grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is correctly polarized and properly grounded.

If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Conversion to Liquefied Petroleum Gas

Personal injury or death from electrical shock may occur if the range is not installed by a qualified installer or electrician. Any additions, changes or conversions

required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by a qualified technician.

If your gas range model design allows for L.P. conversion, the L.P. conversion kit may be obtained from your local appliance dealer and should be installed by a qualified service technician. Before installing the kit be sure to follow the L.P. Installation Instructions carefully.

See the Installation Instructions packaged with this range for complete installation and grounding instructions.

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located below the control panel (Fig. 1). When the oven is heating, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven which helps to provide good baking results. Do

not block the oven vent.

Oven racks

Always use oven mitts to protect hands from possible

burns when using the oven or cooktop. The oven, oven racks and cooktoP will become very hot.

Do not remove or attempt to arrange oven racks with cookware still on the racks. To avoid damaging cookware

or spilling food items, always remove any cookware first.

Oven rack stop

Most oven racks slide on rack guides provided along the oven cavity sides. The rack guides are curved near the front of each guide. The curve will catch and hold the oven rack stable into a stop position when an oven rack is extended straight out from the oven.

For better access to food items in the oven, slowly pull the oven rack straight out to the oven rack stop position (Fig. 3) before checking on food items or removing food

dishes from the oven.

Types of oven racks

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the following oven rack types listed below:

The flat oven rack may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most rack positions.

The flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most rack positions. Similar to the flat rack but comes with a

handle. The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional

stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design. The offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than the flat rack.

The half rack (some models) has a removable section to allow for taller cooking utensils in the oven. When the removable section is in place, the rack may be used like a

flat rack. The Effortless "MOven Rack (some models) instructions

are provided later in this section. Be sure to read the important notes.

The bottom oven rack (some models) should only be used in the lowest oven rack position. This rack may be

used when placing large cuts of meat in the oven.

For best baking results allow 2 to 4 inches (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. For even heating, hot air must be able to circulate freely around the pans and cookware (See Fig. 1).

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack in positions 2 & 4. For best results when using a single or an offset oven rack, place cookware on rack in position 2, 3 or 4.

Effortless TM Oven Rack system (some models) Some models are equipped with a special oven rack system that automatically partially extends the oven rack from the interior oven glides to assist in easier access to your food items. This feature works whenever the oven door is opened or closed.

To assemble the Effortless "MOven Rack system:

1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied oven rack (Effortless T" Oven Rack is a flat rack with a special dark coating on the left and right rack sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.

2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely

cool before proceeding.

3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only. Be

sure the rack connector brackets are at the rear of the range and pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).

4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the oven door open and the oven rack in place, install one end

of the connector arm to the hole in the door

connector bracket (Fig. 1) and the other end in the hole in the rack connector bracket (Fig. 2 and as in Fig. 3). The oven rack may need to be adjusted in or out in the rack position to match the length of the

connector arm.

5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point upwards (See Figs. 4 & 5). The connector arm

should now be locked into position.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.

7. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing

the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out

of the oven freely when the door isopened or closed.

• Only the Effortless "MOven Rack system should be used in oven rack position 2. Placing ANY other rack in oven rack position 2 will prevent the oven

door from fully closing and may damage the oven

door, oven cavity or the door connector brackets.

• If the rack system is not assembled with the

connector arms the EffortlessT" Oven rack may be used in oven rack positions 2 thru 6. Do not attempt

to use the EffortlessT" Oven rack in rack position 1.

Before operating the cooktop, check for proper burner cap placement

Visually check for proper burner cap placement before operating any of the surface burners (See Fig.l).

To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmful

by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner

caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas

flame size.

To avoid possible burns DO NOT touch burner caps or

surface burner grates after using any of the surface

burners. The surface burner grates, caps, and areas

around them may still be very hot. Provide sufficient

time for these areas and the parts to completely cool

before handling.

If any of the surface burner caps appears to be resting unevenly, not centered or appears unlevel on the burner head (Fig. 2), be sure to correct the burner cap position

on the burner head before starting the surface burner.

Using the griddle (some models)

Before first use:

• Wash griddle in hot soapy water.

• Rinse and dry completely.

Using the griddle:

Remove the center burner grate (some models) and carefully replace with the griddle.

For best results, preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium or a medium low setting. Slow preheating provides more even heat distribution during the cooking process. Do not preheat the griddle on Hi setting. Preheating using a Hi burner setting may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

After each use:

• To prevent possible rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.

• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water

only, then rinse.

• Dry immediately.

• Do not clean griddle in the dishwasher.

Be sure to review the Care & Cleaning section for complete detailed information about cleaning the burner caps and proper burner cap placement.

Cookware material types

The most popular materials available are: Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of

food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting).

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking

results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining. Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain

heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.

Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Use quality cookware in good condition

For the best possible cooking results when using

the cooktop, always use quality cookware in good

condition. Pans should have flat bottoms that sit

level on the burner grate. Before using cookware, check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the

bottom of the cookware (Fig. 1). Fig. 1

Set proper burner flame size

The colorofthe flame isthe key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame isclear, blue and hardly visible inawell-lighted room. Each cone of flame should besteady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

For most cooking; start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)

For deep fat frying; use a thermometer and adjust the surface 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 or cook properly.

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. *These settings are based for medium-weight metal or

aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Fig. 2

Do not place flammable items such as plastic

wrappings, spoon holders or plastic salt and pepper shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items

could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons

could catch fi!e if placed too €loseto the !ange €0oktoPl........................

Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that

can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt

they may damage the cooktop.

The size and type of utensil used, the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the settings needed

to obtain the best cooking results.

Setting surface controls

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

burners. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the

amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate for the cookware size.

The standard size burner or burners may be used for most surface cooking needs. Use the smaller simmer burner (some models) when simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The larger quick boil (some models) burner or burners are best when used to bring large quantities of liquid to temperature or when heating larger quantities of food.

Setting a surface burner:

1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the burner grate.

2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).

3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the lite position. Visually check that the burner has a steady gas flame.

4. Once the surface burner has a flame, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the

desired flame size setting. Use the knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.

I FF [ite hi 6 5 4 3 2 Lo

Fig. 1

• When setting a surface control knob to the lite position, all the electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.

• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners may 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. Once the burner ignites, push in and turn knob out of lite then to the desired flame setting. Use caution when

lighting surface burners manually.

Do not place flammable items such as plastic wrappings, spoon holders or plastic salt and pepper shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons

could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

• DO NOT cook with a surface control knob left in the lite position. The electronic ignitor will continue to

spark. Turn control knob out of lite position and adjust the flame size.

• Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material

that can melt on the range cooktop. If items

melt the they may permanently damage the

appearance of the cooktop.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for canning procedures.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

• When using two canners at the same time, stagger the canners on the burners. This will allow for better air flow

to the burners. Do not block air to the burners.

• NEVERplace or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time. This may cause uneven heating results.
