DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR
THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if
equipped). Both surface burners 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

andwindow.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by

cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the

first time, or ff it has not been used for a long period of

time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR
COOKTOP

Use proper flame size--Adjust flame size

so itdoes 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 ignitionof clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve
efficiency.

Do not use stove top grills on the burner

grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a
sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and

can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your
health.

= Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place

a pan of food on the burner before turning iton, and turn
the burner off before removing the pan.

= Always turn the 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.

• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils

having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface burner to direct contact and may

result inignitionof clothing. Proper relationship of utensil

to the surface burner will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners. To reduce the

risk of burns, ignitionof 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 to 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 range top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The searing
grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may

result in a fire.

Important Safety Instructions

Do not use decorative surface burner covers, ifa
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will

become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause
combustion problems.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop---If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean cooktop glass with caution--if a wet sponge or
cloth isused to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be

careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
harmful fumes ifapplied to a hot surface.

= Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR
OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door or warmer drawer (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 inthe oven/warmer drawer.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is
located at the center rear of the cooktop. Touching the
surfaces inthis 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/warmer drawer (if equipped) racks.

Always place oven racks indesired location while oven/
warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. if rack must be moved
while oven ishot 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/
warmer drawer (if equipped). 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.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing
so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance

or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and

replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

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

that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and
grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to

accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan
could catch fire. When you are flaming food under the hood,

turn the fan on. Refer to the hood manufacturer's

instructions for cleaning.

SELF=CLEANING OVENS

• In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in

this Use and Care 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 isessential for

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

move the gasket.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in

the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely

sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of the range. Move the birds to another well

ventilated room.

Control Locations of the Gas Surface Burners

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

in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.

The small SIMMER burner is best used for simmering
delicate sauces, etc. This burner islocated at the right rear

burner position on the cooktop (see Figure 4).

The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface
cooking needs. The 2 burners are located at the left front

position on the cooktop (see Figure 4).

The POWER burners are best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature orwhen preparing

larger quantities of food. The 2 POWER burners are located

at the right front and left rear burner positions on the cooktop
