Use Proper Rame Size--Adjustflamesizesoitdoes
notextendbeyond theedge oftheutensil.The use of
undersizedutensilswillexposea portionoftheburner

flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also

improve effidency.

• 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
theriskof burns,ignitionofflammablematerials,and
spillagedue tounintentionalcontactwiththeutensil,the
handleoftheutensilshouldbe positionedsothatitis

turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface burners.

• Never leavesurface burners unattended at high
heat settings--Boiloverscausesmoking andgreasy

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.

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 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.

Protective linersJDO 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.

• 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

• 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.

Fig. 1

Removing, replacing & arranging racks

To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out.

To replace - fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls.
Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into
place.
Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the oven).

Always use oven mitts when using the oven. When

using the appliance, oven racks and cooktop will become

very hot which can cause burns.

offset_

oven rack

The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs. The
Effortless'" Oven Rack (some models) is described later
in this section. 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 and when roasting large cuts of meat.

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 inthe 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'" 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 iscompletely

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, twistthe

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.
