IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
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.
• 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 — Boil overs cause smoking and
greasy spill overs 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 you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the oven 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. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heatsensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items can 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, do not let
potholders contact hot heating element in oven.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands
to reposition.Remove all cookware and utensils
before moving the rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil or any other
material; exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil or any
other materials or liners to line surface or oven
bottoms, except as suggested in the manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electric shock, or fire.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook
in proper cookware and always use the oven
racks.
• 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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
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 is located at the right rear
burner position on the cooktop. The standard burner can be
used for most surface cooking needs. The standard b urners
are located at the left front and left rear positions on the
cooktop.
The power burners are best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when prep aring
larger quantities of food. The power burner is located at the
right front position on the cooktop. Regardless of size,
always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Sele ct a burn er and fla me size
appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend
beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Assembly of the surface burner caps and burner grates
It is very important to make sure that all of the surface
burner caps and surface burner grates are installed
correctly and at the correct locations.
Figure 1: Proper grate installation
1. Remove all packing material from cooktop area.
2. Discard all packing material (if applicable).
3. Unpack burner grates and position on the cooktop.
• The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on
the cooktop.
• To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down
and align into the cooktop recess.
• Grates should rest flush against each other and
against the sides of the recess.
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.

IMPORTANT
CAUTION
SETTING SURFACE BURNERS
Operating the gas surface controls
• Do not cook with the surface control knob left in the
LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to
spark if the control knob setting remains in the LITE
position.
• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE
position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the
same time. However, only the surface burner you are
setting will ignite.
• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This
can cause uneven heating results.
• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners can be lit manually . Use caution when lighting
surface burners 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.
• When operating the oven, it is possible for residual
heat from the oven to build-up and over time to even
tually transfer to the surface control knobs located
directly above the oven door.
• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrap p ing s
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 or any material that can
melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they
may permanently damage the cooktop surface.
• The cooktop should not be used during a self-clean
cycle. On some models, turning on any cooktop
surface burner will cause the clean cycle to cancel. If
the clean cycle is canceled, the oven control display
will show “SPr" for 5 seconds. The oven door will
remain locked until the oven has cooled down below
cleaning temperature. If the oven is below cleaning
temperature, the user can start another clean cycle
immediately. If the oven is in cleaning temperature
range, another self-clean cycle can be set once the
door unlocks (up to 4 hours).
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclock-
wise out of the OFF position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (see figure 2). 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 a flame.
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 elec
tronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in
the LITE position.)

IMPORTANT
CAUTION
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.
Settings based on using medium weight metal or
aluminum pans. Settings may vary using other types of
pans. The color of the flame is key to proper burner
adjustment. A good flame is clear , blue, and hardly visible
in a well lit room. Each cone of the flame should be
steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
Flame Size Type of Cooking
High Flame
• Start most foods
• Bring water to a boil
• Pan broiling
Gas Cooktop Burners
The front control gas cooktop comes with a variety of
burners to accommodate different sizes of cookware. The
most powerful burner (18k BTU) for cooking in larger pots
for canning or large amounts of soup or for boiling water is
located at the right front of the cooktop.
The cooktop also has12k, 7.5k, and 5k BTU burners to fit
most cookware and cooking need.
The Simmer Oval burner is in the center of the cooktop and
consists of a center burner and an oval burner. The center
burner of the simmer oval can be set separately from the
oval burner.
Medium Flame
Low Flame
Figure 3: Gas flame adjustme n t
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.
