first time, or if it has not been used for a [ong period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a tempera-
ture above B°C/32°F for at [east 3 hours before connect- ing it to the power suppIyo
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
Know which knob controJs each surface heating unit. Always turn tile knob to the LITEposition when igniting the
burners. Visually check that the burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil.
Use ProperPan Size--This appliance isequipped with one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. Tile useof undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the surface burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the
surface burner will also improve efficiency.
Utensil HandIes ShouJd Be Turned Inward and Should 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 tile utensil should be positioned sothat it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burner.
Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended--Believers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a
pan that has boiled dry may melt.
INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Protective [iners-- Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil asrecommended for baking if used asa cover placed on the food. Any other used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or
a short circuit.
Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed uten- silsare suitable for rangetop servicewithout breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.
Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a 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 overheat- ing. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
Use Care When Opening Door or Warmer Drawer (if equipped)--Stand to tile side of tile appliance when
opening tile door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven/warmer drawer.
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. Theoven isvented at the front above the oven door. 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 tile oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

Severeshock or damage to the appliance may occur if the appliance is not installed by a qualified installer.
SeMecting Surface Cooking UtensiMs
For best resu/ts and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:
Pansshould have flat bottoms. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler acrossthe bot-
tom. There should be no gaps between tile pan and ruler.
Note: Always useautensil for its intend- ed purpose. Follow manufacturer's in-
structions. Some utensils were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots,
griddles and pressure cookers may be used but must conform to the above
recommended cookware requirements.
Specialty Pans & Trivets

Easyto clean.
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are available in
most cookshop or hardware stores. Round-bottomed woks(with asupport
ring that does not extend beyond the burner unit) may also be used. The
metal ring was designedto support the wok safely when it isfilled with large
amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metaJ ring that extends beyond
the burner unit. Because this ring traps heat, the surface unit and
cooktop surface could be damaged.
Wire trivets: Donot usewire trivets.
Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact with the grates.
Canning Tips & mnformation
Canning can generate
large amounts of steam. Useextreme cau- tion to prevent burns. Always raise tile lid to vent steam away from you.
1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glassjars for the latest canning information.
2. Useflat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.
3. Center canner on the burner grate.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to maintain
a constant boil.
5. It isbest to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch beyond the edge of the burner grate,
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time,
3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.
Safecanning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed
and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle
but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.
Setting Surface Controls
Assembly of the Surface Burner Heads, Burner Caps and Burner Grates
It is very important to make sure that all of the Surface Burner Heads,
Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates are installed correctly and at tile correct locations.
1. Placeall 4 Burner Heads in the correct locations. Make sure that the correct Burner Head is placed with the corresponding Orifice Holder
and that the Electrode is located properly in the slot of each Burner
Head (SeeFigure 1). Proper Burner Head placement insures that each Burner will have the correct spark required for surface gas ignition.
2. Placetile correct Burner Caps at each of the burner locations (Burner Cap Pilot Hole must face up). Each of the4 (four) Burner Heads MUST
havea Burner Cap installed to insure proper ignition and gasflame size
and must be in place with the Pilot Hole facing up BEFOREplacing the
Burner Grates (See Figure 1).
3. Placethe 2 (two) cast iron Burner Grates supplied with the range. Carefully line-up the 2 Grate Pins on each Grate with the Cap Pilot
Holes in the 2 Burner Caps on each side of the range. DO NOT force
the Burner Grates onto tile Burner Caps.Forcing the grates down onto
improperly installed Burner Headsand Burner Caps maydamage tile gas burners. EachBurner Cap isdesigned with a Cap Pilot Hole in the top center of the Cap. Visually check that ALL the Grate Pinsline up
into the Burner Cap Pilot Holes (SeeFigure 1). Properly installed Burner Grates will rest with all four Grate legs on tile glass cooktop.
REMEMBER-- DO NOTALLOW SPILLS,FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR
ANY OTH ERMATERIALTO ENTERTHEGASORIFICEHOLDEROPENING, Always keep the Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place whenever the
surface burners are in use,

Setting Surface ControMs (continued)
Operating the Gas Surface Controms
1. Placecooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE.Note: All electronic ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning
on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired flame size.The control knobs do not haveto be set at a particular mark. Usethe guides and
adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE
position.)
5. Toturn the burner off, turn the control knob as far as it ill go, to the OFF position.
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.Usecaution when lighting surface
burners manually,Surface burner in use when an electrical power failure occurs m ed
will continue to operate normally.
Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time
without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top
of the cooktop when it is in use. Theseitems could melt or ignite. Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
The surface control knob shown below
may not look identical to the Surface Control Knobs on your range; They are only representational.
OFF
FMame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use a chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. Tile size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
Fordeep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If tile fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. Ifthe fat is too hot, tile food will
brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much
food at once asthe 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; steam. Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew.
* These settings are based on using medium thickness aluminum pans with tids.
Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of tile
utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
Proper Burner Adjustments
The color of the flame isthe key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame isclear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted
room. Eachcone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. Toclean burner,
see instructions under General Cleaning.
Before Setting Oven ControMs
Some models are equipped with a btower which runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep
aH internal components at a cool temperature, It is possibte that the blower keeps running even if the range has been turned off, until the components have cooled down,
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKSWHEN THE OVENIS COOL (PRIORTO OPERATINGTHE OVEN).Always use oven mitts when
tile oven is hot.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located at right side of the front paneJ and visible when the oven door isopen. When the oven is on, hot air is released through the vents. This venting isnecessaryfor proper aircirculation in tile oven and good baking results.

Speed BakeTM Cooking System OfEquipped)
Speed BakeTM Cooking System uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two racks at
the same time.
Heated air flows around tile food from all sides, sealing in iuices and flavors. Meats cooked with Speed BakeTM Cooking System are iuicer. Poultry iscrisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster and more evenly with Speed
BakeTM Cooking System.
Benefits of Speed Bake TM Cooking System:
Foods cook up to 30% faster, saving time and energy. Two racks can be used with more even cooking and browning. No special pans or bakeware needed.
General Cooking Instructions:
1. To convert baking times from normal recipesto Speed Bake times, start with a 30% reduction in time and increase the time until desired doneness is obtained. Time
reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food.
2. Preheating isnot necessarywhen cooking with Speed Bake, except with items such as cakes, cookies, biscuits, breads, etc.
3. When using two racksat the sametime, place them in positions 1 and 3 for tile best results.
4. When baking cakes with Speed Bake, set temperature 25% (!3°C) degrees lower

Preheating Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before preheating. Foodswill stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROILasinstructed in the Electronic Oven Control Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating isnot necessarywhen broiling meats well-done.
Open door

position when broiling_
Always pull oven rack out to the "stop" position be-
fore turning or removing food.
To Broi(
Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Seasonand serve.
Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.
Determining BroiJing Times
Broffing times w_r5 so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from the
element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and aloneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also require
additional time.
BroHing Tips
The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foiL The
exposed grease cou)d ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close tile oven door and turn off the oven. If
the fire continues, throw baking sodaon the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

\
Broiler Ctean-Up Tips:
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT (:over the broiler grid with foil. To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads be(ause the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water. Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
1) Aluminum foil Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.
2) Aluminum utensils Tile melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, caremust be taken when aluminum pots or pans
are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusing or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal
markings on the cooktop surface. Thesemarks should be removed immediately
after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can
become permanent if not removed prior to future use.
1¸¸¸¸¸¸¸¸¸¸¸
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic:or glass)with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass acrossthe cooktop. Do not useyour cooktop asa cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not
drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
Before cleaning tile cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and tile cooktop is COOL.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.
Things to Remember
1. AVOID using bleach and don't use ammonia to clean tile ceramic surface.
2. Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.
3. Never slide oven racks across cooktop surface. They may scratch or metalmark the cooktop.

Oven Cleaning
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before cleanklg.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOTleavesmall
children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during tile self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control isturned off or else push CANCEL pad.
Wait until the oven iscool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleanersor oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOTclean tile oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door isessentialfor a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. DO NOT cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self<leaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above (ooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or
reduce it to a fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth.
Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Remove all excessspillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-clean- ing cycle. To clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers (:an
cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT

Clean Door Clean Seal
allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on tile surface as they may cause a dull spot even after (:leaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration). These areasheat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycleto bum soil on. Clean with soap and water.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do
not withstand high cleaning temperatures
4. Oven racks may be left in tile oven or may be removed. If they go through the (:lean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle iscompleted and tile oven hascooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil. This will make the racks glide easier.
What to Expect During Cleaning
While the oven isin operation, the oven heatsto temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor isalso normal astile food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent, located on tile top of the control panel.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before (:leaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal
and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, usean exhaust fan during tile self-cleaning cycle.
NOT[:: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of tile soil into a colorless vapor.
