How it Works Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but

flat-bottomed pans provide more stability on top of the grates. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.

Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if you want cooking to stop.

Surface Burner Controls

Knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are marked as to which burners they control. The two

knobs on the left control the left front and left rear

burners. The two knobs on the right control the right front and right rear burners.

Before Lighting a Burner

● If drip pans are supplied with your range, they

should be used at all times.

● Make sure all the grates on the range are in place

before using any 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.

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the 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.

(continued)

● Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you

place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the

cookware you are using. FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE

LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE.

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown

Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

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.

TOP Grills (on models with sealed burners)

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas 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.

If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be 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.

Power Outage

An electrical power failure will not affect the

standing oven pilot.

Oven Control

Your oven is controlled by a single OVEN CONTROL knob. It will normally take 30-90 seconds before the flame comes on. After the

oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner completely, then on with a full flame-to maintain the selected temperature.

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.

Oven Vents

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop. See the Features section. Do not block

these openings when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burners be unintempted.

● The vent openings and nearby surfaces may

become hot. Do not touch them.

● Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may

become hot if left too close to the vent.

● Metal items will become very hot if they are left

on the cooktop and could cause burns.

● Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air

from the vent may ignite flammable items and will

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for best baking results.

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all

around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Cookies can be baked on several shelves at the same time but browning may be uneven because of reduced air circulation.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven.

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans

to produce a browner, crisper crust. Stagger the pies for most even browning. Frozen pies in foil pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet for baking since the

shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust;

Do not put aluminum foil on the oven bottom.

Cakes

For best browning when baking several 8“ or 9“ cakes, stagger them so one pan is not directly above another. Warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.

ADJUST THE OVEN

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you

use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think

it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make it hotter.

YOURSELF!

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive

thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers may vary

degrees.

Adjust the Thermostat:

(appearance may vary)

Pull the OVEN CONTROL knob off the range and look at the back side.

To make adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn), but do not completely remove, the two screws on the back of the knob. With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.

To raise the oven temperature, move the top screw

toward the right. You’ll hear a click for each notch you move the knob. the top screw toward the left. Each click will change the oven temperature approximately plus or minus

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

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 roasting a large turkey. The shelf is not designed to slide this position.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore the oven controls are set for Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound indicating the oven is working properly.)

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing after being removed from the oven. Recommended

standing time for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This

allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to If you wish to compensate for temperature rise, remove the roast from the oven when its internal temperature is 5° to shown in the Roasting Guide.

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

2. Check the weight of the roast. Place the meat fat-side-up or the poultry breast-side-upon the roasting grid in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of meat as possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a

good pan for this.)

3. Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to the desired temperature. See the Roasting Guide for temperatures and approximate cooking times.

4. When roasting is finished, turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF and then remove the food from the oven.

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same time. For example: While roasting a 20-lb. turkey on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped) may be added on position D so that scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time. Calculate the total cooking time to enable both dishes to complete cooking at the same time. Allow 15-20 minutes of additional cooking time for the potatoes.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan. This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

Your range has a compartment below the oven for broiling. A specially designed broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain away from the food and keeps it away from the high heat of the gas flame.

Both the oven and broiler compartment doors must be closed during broiling.

Turn most foods once during cooking (the exception is thin fillets of fish; oil one side, place that side down on broiler grid and cook without Time foods for about one-half the total cooking time, turn food, then continue to cook to preferred doneness.

until done).

1. You can change the distance of the food from the

heat source by positioning the broiler pan and grid on one of three shelf positions in the broiler compartment-A (bottom of broiler compartment), B (middle) and C (top).

2. Preheating the broiler or oven is not necessary and

can produce poor results.

3. If meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2“ apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8” thick.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just

the grid.

4. Arrange the food on the grid and position the

broiler pan on the appropriate shelf in the oven or broiling compartment. Placing food closer to the

flame increases exterior browning of the food, but also increases spattering and the possibility of fats and meat juices igniting.

5. Close the oven and broiler compartment door.

6. Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to BROIL.

7. Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF. Remove the broiler pan from the broiler compartment and

serve the food immediately. Leave the pan outside

the range to cool.

Questions and Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a

grid in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the

pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling? A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as

they should?

A. Check to see if you are using the recommended

shelf position. Broil for the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling.

When arranging the food on the pan, do not let fatty your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

Cooktop Surface

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of

acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set.

When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills such as fat smatterings, etc., wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

Be careful when you clean the cooktop because the area over the pilot will be hot (on models with standing pilots).

Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures. You will notice this sooner with lighter color grates.

The special coating is a porous ceramic material,

which is dark in color and feels slightly rough to the touch. If magnified, the surface would appear as peaks, valleys and sub-surface “tunnels.” This rough finish tends to prevent grease spatters from forming little beads or droplets that run down the side walls of a hard-surface oven require hand cleaning. Instead, when spatter hits the porous finish, it is dispersed and partially absorbed. This spreading action increases the exposure of oven soil to heated air and makes it somewhat less noticeable.

To Clean the Continuous-Cleaning Oven:

1. Let range parts cool before handling. We recommend

rubber gloves be worn when cleaning.

2. Remove shelves and cookware.

3. Soil visibility maybe reduced by operating the oven

at CONTROL knob to hours. Repeated cycles may be necessary before

improvement in appearance is apparent.

Remember: During the operation of the oven, the door and other range surfaces will get hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch. Let the range cool before replacing the oven shelves.

Use water sparingly and change it frequently, keeping it as clean as possible, and be sure to blot it up with paper towels, cloths or sponges. Do not rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths or sponges, since they will leave unsightly lint on the oven finish. If water leaves a white ring on the finish as it dries, apply water again and blot it with a clean sponge, starting at the edge of the ring and working toward the center.

This range has been design-certified by the American Gas Association according to ANSI

221.1, latest edition and Canadian Gas Association according to any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find these precautions in the Important Safety Instructions in the front of this

guide. Read them carefully.

● Have your range installed by a qualified

installer or service technician.

● Your range must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code In Canada, electrical grounding must be in accordance with the current Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes. See Electrical Connections in this section.

. Before installing your range on linoleum or

any other synthetic floor covering, make sure

the floor covering can withstand

shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of thick plywood or similar insulator is placed between the range and carpeting.

● Make sure the wall coverings around the

range can withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°

. Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To

reduce the hazard caused by reaching over the

open flames of operating burners, install a ventilation hood over the range that projects forward at least 5“ beyond the front of the cabinets.

● The ventilating hood must be constructed of

sheet metal not less than 0.0122” thick. Install above the cooktop with a clearance of not less than 1/4” between the hood and the underside of the combustible material or metal cabinet.

The hood must beat least as wide as the

appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface and the

ventilation hood surface MUST

WARNING

ranges can tip and injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach an approved

Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See

Installing the Anti-Tip Device in this section.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The

Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the

range from tipping over. If you pull the range out from the wall for any

reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged

when you push the range back against the wall.

● For your safety, never use your range for

warming or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen.

Top burners should not be operated without

cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your range and will void

your warranty.

● Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids

in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

● Do not use oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

● Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.
