an extension cord with this appliance.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
■ Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
■ Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the range before operating it
to prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packaging material ignite.
■ Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be
used. Your range can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation of
the range section.
■
WARNING: These adjustments must
be made by a qualified service technician
in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and all codes and requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury or property damage. The
qualified agency performing this work
assumes responsibility for the conversion.
■ After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such type
of use. Never install it directly over interior
kitchen carpeting.
■ Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the oven door, warming drawer
or cooktop. They could damage the range
and even tip it over, causing severe personal
injury.
■
CAUTION: Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of a
range—children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
■ Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited
if brought in contact with flame or hot oven
surfaces and may cause severe burns.
■ Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range drawer or near a cooktop.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ Flame in the oven or warming drawer can
be smothered completely by closing the oven
door or drawer and turning the control to
off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving them
where children can reach them.
■ Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air
openings are located at the rear of the
cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven
door, and at the bottom of the range under
the warming drawer.
■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.

SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain
the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since
heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped
and remain cool.

■ Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and
any aluminum foil.
■ Oven shelves should be removed from the
oven before beginning the self-clean cycle.
■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician.
■ Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner of any kind
should be used in or around any part of
the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will
damage the inside of the oven when the
self-clean cycle is used.
SELF-CLEANING THE OVEN
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to
at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
■ The purpose of the warming drawer
is to hold hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food;
cold food cannot be heated or cooked in
the warming drawer.
■ Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■ Do not leave paper products, plastics,
canned food, or combustible materials in
the drawer.
■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your drawer.
■ Do not warm food in the drawer for more
than two hours.
■ Do not touch the heating element or the
interior surface of the drawer. These
surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the
drawer may be hot when the drawer
is opened.
■ Use care when opening the drawer. Open
the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the
drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator
and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset
the performance of the drawer and it could
damage the interior finish.

■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Place the oven shelves in the desired
position while the oven is cool.
■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The
lowest position is not designed to slide.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■ Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the
oven except as described in this manual.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or
damage to the range.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■ Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
■ Use only glass cookware that is
recommended for use in gas ovens.
■ Always remove the broiler pan from range as
soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the
pan can catch fire if oven is used without
removing the grease from the broiler pan.
■ When broiling, if meat is too close to the
flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to
prevent excessive flare-ups.
■ Make sure the broiler pan is in place
correctly to reduce the possibility of
grease fires.
■ If you should have a grease fire in the broiler
pan, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad, and keep
the oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out.
■ For safety and proper cooking performance,
always bake and broil with the oven door
closed.
■ The unit should not be operated in any
mode with the bake element removed.
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can
cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
OVEN
WARNING:
NEVER cover any
slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom
or cover an entire rack with materials such
as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are
placed in their respective positions.
Push the control knob in and turn it to
the LITE position.
You will hear a little clicking noise—
the sound of the electric spark igniting
the burner.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue
to click.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all
the burners spark. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner
while another burner is on. An electric
shock may result, which could cause you
to knock over hot cookware.
9
In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light the
gas surface burners on your range with a
match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then
push in and turn the control knob to the
LITE position. Use extreme caution when
lighting burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to
operate normally.

Wok This Way
We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller
flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits
flat on the grate. They are available at your local
retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the
ring over the burner or grate may cause the
burner to work improperly, resulting in
carbon monoxide levels above allowable
standards. This could be dangerous to
your health.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Stove Top Grills
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed
gas burners. If you use the stove top grill
on the 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.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tightfitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will
give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware—those for oven use only and
those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,
coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts
heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check
cookware manufacturer’s directions to be
sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
10
Most griddled foods require cooking
on a preheated surface. Preheat griddle
according to the guide below, then switch
to the desired cook setting.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
■ Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods and be
careful of grease spill-over while cooking.
■ Do not use oil on the griddle for extended lengths
of time. Permanent staining and/or craze lines on
the surface could result.
■ Never place or store any items on the griddle,
even when it is not in use. The griddle can
become heated when using the surrounding
burners.
■ Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the
griddle burner on at HI for an extended amount
of time without food can damage the non-stick
coating
.
■ Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points pr
rough sharp edges which might damage the
griddle surface.
■ Do not cut foods on the griddle.

Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the shelf supports (A
through E), they will stop before coming
completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf
support.
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the shelf (stoplocks) on the support, tilt up the front and
push the shelf in.
NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out at the
special low shelf (R) position.
The oven has 5 shelf positions.
It also has a special low shelf
position (R) for extra large items,
such as a large turkey.
Power Outage
CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the
electric ignition oven during an electrical power
failure.
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a
power failure. Gas will not flow unless the
glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power failure
occurs, the oven burner shuts off and
cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This
is because the flow of gas is automatically
stopped and will not resume when power is
restored until the glow bar has reached
operating temperature.
Oven Light
Touch the OVEN LIGHT pad on the control
panel to turn the light on or off.
Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the
rear of the range. Do not block these ducts
when cooking in the oven—it is important
that the flow of hot air from the oven and
fresh air to the oven burner be
uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent
openings or nearby surfaces during oven or
broiler operation—they may become hot.
■ Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.
■ Do not leave plastic or flammable items on the
cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left too close
to the vent.
■ Do not leave closed containers on the cooktop.
The pressure in closed containers may increase,
which may cause them to burst.
■ Metal items will become very hot if they are left
on the cooktop, and could cause burns.
Plastic items on the cooktop may
melt if left too close to the vent.
Vent appearance and location vary.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary
for good results when baking cakes,
cookies, pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible. Pans should not touch each other
or the walls of the oven. If you need to use
two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not
directly above the other, and leave
approximately 11⁄2″ between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the wall.
Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom with
aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you
must mold the foil tightly to the grid and
cut slits in it just like the grid.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a
spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil
on a lower shelf several inches below the
food.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Place the meat or fish on the broiler
grid in the broiler pan.
Follow suggested shelf positions in the
Broiling Guide.
The oven door must be closed during
broiling.
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for
HI Broil.
To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL
HI/LO pad again.
Touch the START pad.
Broil Preheat – After touching START,
the display will show preheat for
approximately 10 minutes. The gas
bake element will cycle on during
preheat. Place your food in the oven
after the preheat cycle has completed.
When broiling is finished, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
Serve the food immediately, and leave the
pan outside the oven to cool during the
meal for easiest cleaning.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
over-browning them.
Always use the broiler pan and grid
that came with your oven. It is
designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the
shielded lower part of the pan.
The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature and
your preference of
doneness will affect
broiling times. This guide
is based on meats at
refrigerator temperature.
†The U.S. Department of Agriculture
says “Rare beef is popular, but you
should know that cooking it to only
140°F. means some food poisoning
organisms may survive.” (Source:
Safe Food Book, Y
our Kitchen
Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.)
The oven has 5 shelf positions.
To Set the Clock
The clock must be set to the correct time of
day for the automatic oven timing functions
to work properly. The time of day cannot
be changed during a timed baking or
self-cleaning cycle.
Touch and hold the TIMER/CLOCK pad
until the display changes.
Touch the number pads.
Touch the number pads the same way you
read them. For example, to set 12:34, touch
the number pads 1, 2, 3 and 4 in that order.
If number pads are not touched within one
minute after you touch the CLOCK pad, the
display reverts to the original setting. If this
happens, touch the CLOCK pad and reenter
the time of day.
Touch the START pad until the time of
day shows in the display. This enters
the time and starts the clock.
To check the time of day when the display is
showing other information:
Touch and hold the TIMER/CLOCK pad until the
time of day is displayed. The time of day shows
until another pad is touched.
To Set the Timer
The timer does not control oven operations.
The maximum setting on the timer is 9 hours
and 59 minutes.
Touch the TIMER/CLOCK pad.
Touch the number pads until the
amount of time you want shows in the
display. The maximum time that can
be entered in minutes is 59. Times
more than 59 minutes should be
changed to hours and minutes. For
example, to enter 90 minutes as 1
hour 30 minutes, touch 1, 3 and 0 in
that order.
If you make a mistake, touch the TIMER/CLOCK
pad and begin again.
Touch the START pad. After pressing
the START pad, SET disappears; this
tells you the time is counting down,
although the display does not change
until one minute has passed.
When the timer reaches :00, the
control will beep 3 times followed
by one beep every 6 seconds until
the TIMER/CLOCK pad is touched.
The 6 second tone can be canceled by following
the steps in the Special features of your oven
control section under Tones at the End of
a Timed Cycle.

Using the timed baking and roasting features.
NOTE: Foods that spoil easily—such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork—should not be allowed to sit for more
than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven
light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
How to Set an Immediate Start and Automatic Stop
The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a selected
length of time. At the end of the cooking time, the oven
will turn off automatically.
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the desired
oven temperature.
Touch the COOKING TIME pad.
NOTE: If your recipe requires preheating, you may need
to add additional time to the length of the cooking time.
Touch the number pads to set the desired
length of cooking time. The minimum
cooking time you can set is 1 minute.
The oven temperature that you set and the
cooking time that you entered will be in
the display.
Touch the START pad.
The oven will turn ON, and the display will show
the cooking time countdown and the changing
temperature starting at 100°F. (The temperature
display will start to change once the oven
temperature reaches 100°F.) When the oven
reaches the temperature you set, 3 beeps will
sound.
The oven will continue to cook for the set
amount of time, then turn off automatically,
unless the Cook and Hold feature was set. See the
Special features of your oven control section.
After the oven turns off, the end-of-cycle tone
will sound.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad to clear the
display if necessary. Remove the food from
the oven. Remember, even though the
