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.
To Light a Surface Burner

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

● The smaller burner (right rear position) will give
the best simmer results. It offers precise cooking

foods which need to cook over low heat for a
long time. It can be turned down to a very low
simmer setting.

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.

SU~ACE COO~G
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.
How
to Select Flame Size
(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.

Any flame larger than the

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

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

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.

BROmmG
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.
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.
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.
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.

like
the grid.
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.

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.
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.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven or

Special Care
The Continuous-Cleaning Oven cleans itself while
cooking. The oven walls are finished with a
coating

permanent damage.
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.
Soil may not disappear completely
after extended usage, stains may appear that cannot
be removed.
The special coating works best on small amounts
of spatter.
especially sugars, egg or dairy mixtures. The oven
bottom does not have the continuous cleaning oven
coating and can be removed and cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner.
This special coating is not used on the oven
shelves, oven bottom or the inside of the oven
door. Remove these to clean with a commercial
oven cleaner to prevent damaging the Continuous-
Cleaning Oven coating.
Make sure the oven bottom is in place before
you turn the oven on for any reason.
Use care in removing and replacing the oven
bottom and shelves and in placing and removing
dishes and food to avoid scratching, rubbing or
otherwise damaging the porous finish on the oven walls.

surface, as soon as the oven has cooled, remove as
much of the soil as possible using a small amount of
water and a stiff-bristle nylon brush. 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.
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.
The oven bottom comes out for cleaning away from the

how to clean the inside of the oven door refer to the
Lift-Off Oven Door section.
Do not use soap, detergent, steel wool pads,

Because hard piping restricts movement of the
range, the use of an A.
G.A.-certfled
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 made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound
on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon*
around, all male (external) pipe threads.
