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

bottom
oven rack
The fiat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs. The half
rack (some models) design comes with a removable
section that allows for taller cooking utensils. The offset
oven rack (some models) is designed to place the base of
the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than normal.
This rack design provides several additional possible
positions between the standard positions. To maximize
oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack (some
models) in the lowest rack position for baking or roasting
large cuts of meat. The Effortless "MOven Rack (some
models) is described later in this section.
Air circulation in the oven
For best 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. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.

Effortless TM Oven Rack system
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 assem ble the Effortless TM Oven Rack system:
1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied
oven rack (Effortless TM Oven Rack isa 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
coolbefore proceeding.
3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only (see
previous page to verify positions).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 is opened or closed.
Only the Effortless TM Oven 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 Effortless TM Oven rack may be used in oven rack
positions 2 thru 6. Do not attempt to use the Effortless TM
Oven rack in rack position 1.

Using proper cookware
For best cooking results,
cookware should have flat
bottoms that rests 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
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings 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 place aluminum foil, orANY material that
can melt on the range cooktop, If these items melt
they may damage the cooktop:................................................................................................................................................................
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and
type of food being cooked will influence the settings
needed for best cooking results.
Cookware material types
The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum = Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause itto 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.
Set proper burner flame size
The color of the flame isthe key to proper burner adjustment.
A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in awell-lighted
room. Each cone of flame should be steady 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 istoo 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
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the
cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and
increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Fig, 3),

Incorrect
flame setting
Setting surface controls
Your gas range may be
equipped with many
different sized surface
burners. The ability to heat
food quicker and in larger
volumes increases as the
burner size increases. It is
importantto 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.
Fig. 1
The smaller simmer burner (some models) is best suited
for simmering delicate sauces, etc. The standard size
(9,500 BTU) burners may be used for most surface cooking
needs.
The larger quick boil (some models) burner or burners are
best used for bringing larger amounts of liquid to
temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.
Setting a surface burner
1. Place cooking utensil on top of surface burner grate.
Make sure the cooking untensil is centered and stable
on the grate.
2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn
counterclockwise out of the OFFposition (Fig. 1).
3. Release the knob and rotate to the lite position. Visually
check that the gas burner has lit.
4. Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to
the desired flame size. Use the control knob markings
and adjust the flame as needed.
[i
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
light!ng surface burneEsmanually: ..........................................................................................................................................
DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the
LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark
if the control knob is left in the LITE position. When
setting any surface control knob to the LITE position, all
electronic ignitors will spark at the same time. However,
only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings 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.
Seasoning, using and caring for the griddle
Before first use:
• Wash griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry
completely.
• Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface
(front and back of griddle).
• Preheat your oven to 350°R Placethe griddle on the
upper rack in your oven.
• Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and
let cool before removing.
• The surface may appear to have a tacky fee! to it from
the seasoning process. If desired, wash the griddle in hot
soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.
Using the griddle:
Remove the center burner grate and carefully replace with
the griddle (some models). Preheat the griddle for 5
minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat
ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.
DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI
may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.
After each use:
• To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep
uncovered.
• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water
only.
• Do not clean griddle in the dishwasher.
= Dry Immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil
to griddle before storing.
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 (see
"Cookware material types" in the Before setting surface
controls section).
• 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.
