WARNING!

IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE

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.

ii//i/i!ii_i_iiii/

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 o ydlow flame, will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances con be minimized by venting with on open window or using o ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

_i:,: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 manual. All other service

should be referred to a qualified technician.

;_i:,:Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded

outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. 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, three-prong outlet in accordance with

the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select coo!<ware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To ovoid spil!overs, make sure coo!<ware 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 con ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

;_):,:Always use the LITE position when igniting

the top burners and make sure the burners

have ignited.

_t_::Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

_t_::Adjust the top burner flame size so it does

not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

;_i:,: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.

_t_::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.

;_i:,:Carefullg watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

:_ Always heat fat slowlg, and watch as it heats. _t_:_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.

_t_:_If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating or

as fats melt slowlg,

;_i:,:Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

_t_:_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.

;_):,:Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you

do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

_t_:_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

improperlg, This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current

standards, resulting in a health hazard.

;_i:,: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.

_t_:_Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especiallg

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

;_i:,: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.

;_i:,:To avoid the possibilitg 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.

;_i:,:If range is located near a window, do not hang

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

_t_::If you smell gas, turn offthe gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

;_i:,:Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

_t_::Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can

lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

_t_::When disabling Gas/Control Lockout, make

sure the surface controls are set to the OFF

position. This will preclude gas flow when the range is turned on.

Toavoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin...

The oven has 5 shelf positions. It also has a special low shelf

position (R)for extra large items, such as a large turkey.

Plastic items on the cooktop mag melt if left too close to the vent.

Vent appearance and location vary.

Theshelveshave stop-locks, sothat when

placed correctly on the shelf supports (A

through E),they willstop before coming

completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware,

pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.

Upper 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.

Toremove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

Toreplace, place the end of the shelf (stop- locks)on the support, tilt upthe front and

push the shelf in.

NOTE:Theshelf isnot designedtoslide out at the speciallow shelf(R)position.

Upper Oven Light

Touch the Oven Lightpad on the upper

control panel to turn the light on or off. On some models,the Oven Light switch

ison the lower front control panel.

If the oven isin usewhen a power failure occurs,the oven burnershuts off and cannot

Aluminum Foil

Donot usealuminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Neverentirely covera shelfwith aluminum

foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and

resultin poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be usedto catch a spillover by placing iton a lower shelf several

inches below the food.

Bakingresultswill be better if bakingpans

are centered in the oven as much as possible.

Oven Moisture

Asyour 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

Using the convection oven. :onsomemode/sJ

If gour model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during convection cooking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOTleave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking.

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and

around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavitg. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and

browned-often in less time than with regular heat.

Tohelp gou understand the difference between convection bake and roast and

traditional bakeand roast, hereare some general guidelines,

Convection Bake

Cookwore for Convection Cooking

Beforeusing your convection oven,check to see if your cookware leavesroom for air

circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans,leave space between them.

Also,besurethe pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plasticcontainers that are recommended for usein regular

ovens can be used in convection ovens. Plasticcookware that isheat-resistant to

temperatures of 400°F can also be used, when oven is below 400°E

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware willwork in your convection oven. However,metal pans heat

the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.

::Ji::Darkenedor matte-finished pans will bake

faster than shiny pans.

::Ji::Glassor ceramic panscook more slowly. When baking cookies,you will get the best

resultsif you usea flat cookiesheetinstead of a pan with low sides.

For recipeslikeoven-baked chicken,use a pan with low sides.Hotair cannot circulate

well around food in a pan with high sides.

When convection baking with only 1 shelf, follow the shelf positions

recommended in the Using the Oven section.

Multi-Shelf Baking

The number of shelves provided depends on your model.

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple shelves.

Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result

is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quick breads give very good results with multi-shelf baking.

When baking larger foods on 3 shelves, place one shelf in the 2nd (A)position, one on the

4th (C)position and the third shelf in the 6th (E) position.

When baking cookies,placethe shelvesin the 4th (C),5th (D),and 6th (E)positions.

WARNING!

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All 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

• 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.

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.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air

for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.

The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or similar material). When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering.

This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will withstand 180°F.(Seethe Installation Safety Instructions

section.) Hake sure the wall coverings around your range can

withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F)by the range. (Seethe Installation Safety Instructions section.)

IMPORTANT!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.

Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or drawer.

Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.

Installation Instructions

[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5" of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP

gas (propane or butane), 10" of water column.

Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is designed.

This range is convertible for use on natural or

propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LPgas, conversion must be made by a qualified LPinstaller

before attempting to operate the range on that gas. For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied

to the regulator must be between 5" and 13" of water column.

For LPgas, the pressure supplied must be between 10" and 13" of water column.

When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given above.

The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range

manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LPgas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D.of 1/2" and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation, In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length,

[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn

the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal

appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection,

Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the

connection is mode.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap

pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe threads.

A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line

in an easily accessed location outside of the range,

Make sure everyone operating the range knows where

and how to shut off the gas supply to the range,

B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT

internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup

wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.

Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the

NPTinternal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the

adapter on the range. Position range to permit

connection at the shut-off valve.

E.When all connections have been made, make sure

all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all

joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Electrical Requirements 120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit

protected bg a 1S-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delag fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions Because of potential safetg hazards associated

with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to

use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-tgpe appliance extension

cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the circuit

rating. Grounding IMPORTANT--{Please read carefullg} FORPERSONALSAFETY,THIS APPLIANCEMUSTBE

PROPERLYGROUNDED.

Preferred Method i_

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will

be Disconnected Infrequentlg.

An adapter mag be used only on a 1S-amp circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

Temporarg Method

(AdapterplugsnotpermittedinCanada)

Align large prongs/slots

Ensureproper

ground and firm connection before

use

Ensureproperground existsbefore use

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a

standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibilitg of electric shock hazard from

this appliance. The customer should have the wall receptacle and

circuit checked bg a qualified electrician to make sure

the receptacle is properly grounded. Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the personal responsibilitg and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with

a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. DO NOT, UNDERANY CIRCUMSTANCES,

CUTOR REMOVETHE THIRD (GROUND)PRONGFROM

THE POWERCORD. A word about GFCI's- GFCI'sare not required or

recommended for gas range receptacles. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's)are

devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These devices must be manually reset by the consumen The National Electrical Code requires

the use of GFCI'sin kitchen receptacles installed to serve

countertop surfaces. Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCIbreaker is possible.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter

ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit checked bg a qualified electrician to

make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, alwags hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal isvery likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been

established.

Installation Instructions

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

B. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will

be Disconnected Frequentlg.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on

the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter

ground terminal. The customer should have the two- prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

The installation of appliances designed for mobile home

installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,Part 3280

(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or,

when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition

(Manufactured Home Sites,Communities and Set-Ups),

ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada,

mobile home installation must be in accordance with

the current CAN/CSAZ240/MH Mobile Home

Installation Code.
