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.
Fluorescent light bulbs and safety valves on standing pilot ranges contain mercury. If your model has
these features, they must be recycled according to local, state and federal codes.

■Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent pilot
outage (on standing pilot models) and 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, storage drawer, 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.
■For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■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 storage drawer, a warming 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 wellfitting 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, storage drawer or kick
panel.

Safety InstructionsInstallation InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service
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.
WARNING!
SURFACE BURNERS
■Always use the
LITE
position (on electric
ignition models) or the
HI
position (on
standing pilot models) when igniting the top
burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
■Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
■Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
■Use only dry pot holders— moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders come
near open flames when lifting cookware. Do
not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place
of a pot holder.
■When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
■To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
■Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
■Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
■If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
■Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
■When flaming foods are under the hood,
turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may
spread the flames.
■Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if
the wok has a round metal ring that is placed
over the burner grate to support the wok. This
ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage
the burner grate and burner head. Also, it
may cause the burner to work improperly.
This may cause a carbon monoxide level
above that allowed by current standards,
resulting in a health hazard.
■Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
■Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
■Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
■Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
■To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are
at the
OFF
position and all grates are cool
before attempting to remove them.
■ If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and create a fire hazard.
■If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
■Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
■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 warming drawer to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they can catch
on fire.
■Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the warming drawer
when not in use.
■Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your warming drawer.
■Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance away from your
warming drawer.
■Do not warm food in the warming drawer
for more than two hours.
■
Do not touch the heating element or the
interior surface of the warming drawer.
These surfaces may be hot enough to
burn.
REMEMBER:
The inside surface of the
warming 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.

■Avoid scratching the glass cooktop surface.
The glass surface can be scratched with items
such as sharp instruments, rings or other
jewelry and rivets on clothing.
■Do not operate the cooktop if the glass is
broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may
penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk
of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass
cooktop surface become broken.
■Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
■Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop surface, even
when it is not being used.
■Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause burns.
■Clean the cooktop surface with caution. If a
wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
NOTE:
We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface areas until they have cooled and
the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills
are the exception to this. Please see
Cleaning
the glass cooktop surface
section.
■When the cooktop surface is cool, use only
the recommended cleaning cream to clean
the cooktop.
■To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the
glass surface when it is hot.
■After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel
to remove all cleaning cream residue.
■Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.
Use care when touching the glass cooktop surface. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after
the controls have been turned off.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Operating Instructions
Safety InstructionsInstallation InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service
Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
the shelves, broiler pan, grid and
other cookware.
■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.
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
■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 OVEN
■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 “R” is not designed to slide.
■Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■Never use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Improper use of foil could start a fire.
■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, press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad, and keep
the oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out.
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
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.

Using the gas surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
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.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to the LITE position.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames
extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner
should match the cookware you are using.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to heat
the handle.
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.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
■If drip pans are supplied with your range,
they should be used at all times.
■Make sure all grates on the range are in
place before using any burner.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
■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.
■Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials on
them.
Sealed Gas Burners
The smaller burner (right rear position) will
give the best simmer results. It offers precise
cooking performance for delicate foods,
such as sauces or foods which need to cook
over low heat for a long time. It can be
turned down to a very low simmer setting.
The largest burners are higher powered
than the others and will bring liquids to a
boil quicker.

Using the gas surface burners (cont.).
Wok This Way
We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok.
They are available at your local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok with a
wok holder.
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a
support ring. Placing the ring over the
burner or grate may cause the burner
to work improperly, resulting in carbon
monoxide levels above allowable current
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.

is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
About the glass surface (on some models)…
The
WARMING ZONE
features heating units
beneath a smooth glass surface.
The
WARMING ZONE
unit will cycle on
and off to maintain your selected control
setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass
surface even when the cooktop is cool.

remove this discoloration.
■
Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
■
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop
is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating
of new parts and insulating materials and will
disappear in a short time.
NOTE: On some models with a white glass cooktop,
it is normal for the surface to appear discolored
when it is hot. This is temporary and will disappear
as the glass cools.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
Always place the pan in the center of
the warming zone.
The
WARMING ZONE
, located in the back
center of the glass surface, will keep hot,
cooked food at serving temperature.

Notes.
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 supports, 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 upper
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 items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
■
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot
air from the vent may ignite flammable items and
will increase pressure in closed containers, 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.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Touch the
BAKE
pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired temperature.
Touch the
START
pad.
The word ONand
100°
will be displayed.
As the oven heats up, the display will show
the changing temperature. When the oven
reaches the temperature you set, a tone will
sound.
To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle,
press the BAKE pad and then the number pads to
get the new temperature.
Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if
necessary.
Touch the
CLEAR/OFF
pad when
cooking is complete.
Type of Food Shelf Position
Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) B or C
Angel food cake, A
bundt or pound cakes
Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C
cookies, cupcakes,
layer cakes, pies
Casseroles B or C
Roasting R or A
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
when convection baking and 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.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch
a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf
several inches below the food.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
The oven has a special low shelf (R)
position just above the oven bottom.
Use it when extra cooking space is
needed, for example, when cooking
a large turkey. The shelf is not
designed to slide out at this position.

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:
