Important Safety Instructions

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.

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 LP with high butane gas content. 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.

When You Get Your Range

• Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

• Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance

with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.

•

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this guide. All other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

• Plug your range into a 220-volt grounded outlet only. If in doubt about the grounding of the

home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded outlet.

• 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 packing materials are removed fr om the range before operating it to prevent fire or

smoke damage should the packing material ignite.

• Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer.

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.

• 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.

Using Your Range

WARNING—All ranges

can tip and injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall by installing

the Anti-Tip device supplied. 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 device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this guide. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.

• Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation.

They could be seriously burned.

• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

• 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.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They

could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.

• Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when

reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a

flaming pan on a surface unit 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 can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foamtype fire extinguisher.

• Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a storage 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.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160ºF. and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180ºF. Cooking to these temperatures usually

protects against foodborne illness.

Surface Cooking

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

• 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 .

• 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.

• Always turn the surface burners to off before removing cookware.

• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.

• 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 storage drawer or kick panel.

• Do not use a wok on models with sealed burners 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.

• 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.

• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

• When using glass cookware, make sure it is

designed for top-of-range cooking.

• If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats

melt slowly.

• Use proper pan size—Avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers and large enough to cover burner grate. 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.

• Keep all plastics away from the top burners.

• 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.

• 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.

• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

• If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard.

• When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot models), you will detect a faint odor of gas as your signal to relight the pilot. When relighting the pilot, make sure burner controls are in the off position, and follow instructions in this guide to relight.

• If you smell gas, and you have already made sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models), turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

• Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

• Place the oven shelves in the desired position while the oven is cool.

• Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that

escapes can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf-stop 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.

• Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven except as described in this guide. Misuse could

result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.

• Never use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper use of foil could start a fire.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

• 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,

turn off oven control, and keep the oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.

Self-Cleaning Oven

• Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Guide.

• Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is

essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating 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.

• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the shelves, the broiler pan and grid and other cookware.

• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation.

• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply.

Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE

TO YOUR OLD ONE?

Y our new cooktop has gas burners. If you are used to cooking with induction or other electric surface units, you will notice some differences when you use gas burners.

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or surface unit you have.

The following chart will help you to understand the differences between gas burner cooktops and any other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

Type of Cooktop Description How it Works Gas Burners Regular or sealed Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but

gas burners. 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.

Radiant Electric coils Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on (Glass Ceramic) under a glass- the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to Cooktop ceramic cooktop. continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if

you want cooking to stop.

Induction High frequency Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is

induction coils produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away under a glass and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control surface. off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.

Electric Coil Flattened metal Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best

tubing containing cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of electric resistance warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change wire suspended heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to over a drip pan. continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.

Solid Disk Solid cast iron Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good

disk sealed to the cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The cooktop surface. disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan

from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

SURFACE COOKING

Surface Burner Controls

The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are located on the control panel in front of the burners.

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 grates on the range are in place before using any burner.

On ranges with sealed 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 right front burner is higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker.

To Light a Surface Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it to LITE. 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.

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.

How to Select Flame Size

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 NEVER

LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE.

Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.

(continued next page)

Cooktop Comparison Surface Cooking

After Lighting a Burner

• Do not operate a 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.

SURFACE COOKING

(continued)

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 tight-fitting 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.

Stove Top Grills

(on models with sealed burners)

Wok This Way

(on models with sealed burners)

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.

We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

A traditional round bottom wok can be used with Wok Holder accessory, model JXWK which can be ordered from your appliance dealer. The Wok Holder fits on top of the range grate to provide support and proper air circulation for traditional round bottom woks only. Do not use flat bottomed woks with the Wok Holder.

Do not use a wok on any other support ring.

Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring unless you are using the Wok Holder. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven Electric Ignition

Be sure you understand how to set the controls properly. Practice removing and replacing the shelves while the oven is cool. Read the information and tips on the following pages. Keep this guide handy where you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.

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 Moisture Fluorescent Night Light (on some models)

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.

Use the switch on the upper control panel to turn the light on and off.

Oven Light Automatic Oven Shut Off

Use the switch on the lower control panel to turn the light on or off.

As a safety feature, this oven will automatically shut itself off if it has been left on for more than 12 hours.

(continued next page)

Oven Control, Clock and Timer Using Your Oven

OVEN CONTROL, CLOCK AND TIMER

The control has a series of tones that will sound at different times. These tones may sound while you set the control for an oven function or at the end of the oven function. They will also alert you when an incorrect time or temperature has been entered or if there is a problem with the oven.

Tones While Setting the Control Preheat Notification Tone

When you press a touch pad you will hear a beep. This beep will let you know you have placed enough pressure on the pad to activate it.

When you set an oven temperature the oven automatically starts to heat. When the temperature inside the oven reaches your set temperature a tone will sound to let you know to place the food in the oven.

Attention Tone

This tone will sound if you set an invalid function or try to set an additional function. The tone can be quickly identified by watching the display messages.

USING YOUR OVEN

(continued)

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 uninterrupted.

• The vent openings and nearby surfaces may become hot. Do not touch them.

• Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent.

• 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 increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

Vent appearance and location vary

Oven Vents

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for baking, roasting and broiling identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a large turkey—the shelf is not designed to slide out at this position. Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove a shelf from the oven, pull it toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull the shelf out.

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with the stop-locks (curved extension of the shelf) facing up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.
