WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

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, namelg benzene, carbon

monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by o bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize

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

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

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

_::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.

_t_:_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.

_t_:_Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded

outlet onlg. 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.

overheating of the oven.

_i_Clean onlg parts listed in this Owner's Manual. _::Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Becareful 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 broiler, behind the kick panel 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 well- fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a

multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguishe[

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 completelg by closing the oven door and

turning the control to off or by using a multi-

purpose dry chemical or foam-tgpe fire extinguishe[

;_i:,: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

properlg 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 broiler compartment or kick panel.

_?_::Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can

lead to broken or shattered glass.

COOKMEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an INTERNALtemperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNALtemperature of l80°E Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodbome illness.

OVEN

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.

ii//i/i!ii_i_iiii/

;_):,:Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored inthe oven can ignite.

;_i:,:Keep the oven free from grease buildup. ;_i:,:Place the oven shelves in the desired aosition

while the oven is cool.

;_i:,: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 is not designed to slide.

_t::_Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

WARNING: NEVERcover

any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire shelf with

materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and

may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Aluminum foil linings may also trap

heat, causing a fire hazard.

;_i:,:Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the

oven except asdescribed in this manual.

Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage

to the range.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select coo!<wore having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, mal<esure coo!<wore 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. _;):,:Always use the Life 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.

_;i:,:Adjust the top burner flame size so it

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

_t_:_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.

;_i:,:When using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for top-of-range cooking.

_:::To minimize the possibilitg of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of

the range without extending over adjacent

burners.

_t_:_Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

_t_:_Always heat fat slowlg, 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.

_t_::If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating or as fats

melt slowlg,

;_::,: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.

;_i:,: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.

_t_::Do not use aluminum foil to line the griddle.

Misuse could result in a fire hazard.

_' Never leave the kitchen while using the griddle. _t::_Foods for frging should be as drg 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 trg to move a pan of hot fat, especiallg

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

_t::_Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

theg mag melt if left too close to the vent.

;_i:,: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 and the griddle

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.

_t::_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.

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

before removing cookware or the griddle.

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

lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

_:_Do not place or store items that can melt or

catch fire on the grates, even when the cooktop is not being used.

To avoid 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 correctlu on the shelf supports

(Athrough E),they will stop before coming completelu out, and will nottilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the

shelf support.

Oven Vent

Your oven isvented through ducts at the rear of the range.Do not block these ductswhen

cooking in the oven-it isimportant 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 ovenor broiler operation- they may become hot.

Toremove oshelf, pull it toward Uou,tilt the front end up and pull it out.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheatthe oven if the recipe calls for it.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct

temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes,cookies, pastry and breads.

Forovenswithout apreheat indicator light or tone,preheat 10 minutes.

Aluminum Foil

Do notuse aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelfwith aluminum foil.Thiswilldisturb the heat circulation and

result in poor baking. A smallersheet of foil may be usedto catch a

spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Oven Moisture

Baking resultswill be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible,

Pansshould not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to usetwo shelves,

stagger the pans so one isnot directly above the other,and leave approximately 1V2"

between pans,from the front, back and sides of the wall.

Your range has a compartment below the oven for broiling.

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 turning until done). Time foods for about one-half the total cooking time, turn

food, then continue to cook to preferred doneness.

[] You can change the distance of the food

from the heat source bUpositioning a

broiler pan and grid on one of three shelf positions in the broiler compartment-A

(bottom of broiler compartment), B (middle) and C (top).

[] Preheating the broiler or oven is not

necessar Uand can produce poor results.

[] If meat has fat or gristle around the edge,

cut vertical slashes through both about 2" apart. If desired, the fat ma U be

trimmed, leaving a lager about 1/8" thick.

Arrange the food on the grid and position

[]

the broiler pan on the appropriate shelf in the oven or broiling compartment.

Broiling Guide

The oven and broiler compartment doors must be closed during broiling.

_:Alwags use abroiler panand grid. It is

designed to minimize smoking and spattering bg trapping juices inthe shielded lower part of the pan.

ij_:,For steaksand chops,slash fat evenlg

around the outside edgesof the meat. To slash,cut crosswise through the outer fat

surfacejust to the edge ofthe meat. Use tongs to turn the meat overto prevent

piercingthe meat and Iosingjuices.

Thesize,weight, thickness,

starting temperature and Food gour preference of doneness

will affect broiling times. This Bacon

guide is based on meats at

refrigerator temperature.

Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If Fou still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat

yourself

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of Four oven. These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperature.

Thetype of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If Fou decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat

content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become. Federalstandards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80%fat by weight. Low-fat spreads,on the

other hand,contain lessfat andmore water The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best resultswith your old favorite recipes,usemargarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least

70% vegetable oil.

Oven Air Vents

Vent appearance and location vary.

Pull the knob straight off the stem.

Never blockthe 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 kick panel or broiler compartment (depending on the model).

Lower Control Panel {Front Manifold Panel] and Knobs

It'sa good idea to wipe the control panel after each useof the oven. Usea damp cloth to

clean or rinse.Forcleaning,use mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and

water For rinsing,use clean water Polishdry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers,strong liquid cleaners,plasticscouring pads or oven

cleaners on the control panel-they will damage the finish.

Do not bend knobs by pulling them up or down or by hanging a towel or other such

loads.Thiscan damage the gas valveshaft.

The control knobs may be removed for easier

cleaning. Make surethe knobs are inthe Offpositions

and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning.

The knobs can be cleanedin adishwasher

or they may also bewashed with soapand water Makesurethe insidesof the knobs are

dry before replacing. Replacethe knobs inthe Offposition to

ensure proper placement. Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and

water Do not usesteelwool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners.Dry with a soft cloth.

Porcelain Oven Interior

With proper care,the porcelain enamel interior will retainits attractive finish for many

years. Soap and water will normally do thejob.

Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleanser

Soap-filledscouring pads may also be used. Do not allow food spillswith a highsugar or acid content (suchastomatoes, sauerkraut,

fruitjuices or piefilling)to remain onthe surface.They may cause dull spots even

after cleaning. Household ammonia may make the cleaning

job easier Place 1/2 cup ammonia in a

shallow glass pan and leavein acold oven overnight. Theammonia fumes will help

loosenthe burned-on grease and food. When necessary, you may use a commercial

oven cleaner Followthe package directions.

IM PORTANT - Remove allpackingmaterial

and literaturefrom oven beforeconnectinggas and

electrical supplg to range.

CAUTION - Do not attempt to operate the

oven of this range during a power failure (Electric

Ignition models onlg).

• Have gour range installed bg a qualified installer.

• Your range must be electricallg grounded in accordance with local codes or,in the absence of

local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA70, latest edition). See

Efectricof Connections in this section.

• Before installing gour range on linoleum or ang other sgnthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand 180°F without shrinking,

warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over

carpeting unless a sheet of 3_/4"thick plgwood or similar insulator is placed between the range and

carpeting.

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can

withstand heat generated bg the range up to 200°F.

• Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce the hazard caused bu reaching over the open

flames of operating burners, install a ventilation

hood over the range that projects forward at least 5" beuond 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 be at least as wide us the appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance between the

cooking surface and the ventilation hood surface MUST NEVER BELESSTHAN 24 INCHES.

EXCEPTION: Installation of o listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform

to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.

If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a minimum clearance of 30" between the cooking

surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets. If o 30" clearance between cooking surface and

overhead combustible material or metal cabinets cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the

cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4" insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not

less than 0.0122" thick. Clearance between the cooking surface and protected cabinets MUST

NEVER BELESSTHAN 24 INCHES.

• The vertical distance from the plane of the cooking

surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer than 1" to the plane of the range

sides must not be lessthan 18". (Seethe Dimensions and Clearances illustration in this section.)

• 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 seriouslg injured.

Installation Instructions

WARNING! ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All ranges can tip and injurg could result.

@ ®

[] 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.

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 properlg, carefullg tip the range

forward. The Anti-Tip device should engage

and prevent the range from tipping over. If gou pull the range out from the wall for

ang reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged when gou push the range back

against the wall.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it mag be subject to strong drafts. Ang openings in the floor or wall behind

the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings

around the base of the range that supplg fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed bg

carpeting or woodwork. Yourrange, likemany other householditems, isheavy and

can settle into soft floor coveringssuch as cushionedvinyl or carpeting. Usecare when moving the range on this type

of flooring. It isrecommended that the following simple and inexpensiveinstructions be followed to protect your floor,

The range should be installed on a sheetof plywood (or

similar material).When the floor coveringends at the front of the range,the area that the range will rest on should be

built up with plywood to the same levelor higherthan the floor covering.

This will allow the range to be movedfor cleaning or

servicing.Also,make sureyour floor covering will withstand

180°E(Seethe Installation SafetyInstructions section.)

Make surethe wall coveringsaround your range can withstand the heat generated (upto 200°F)by the range.

(Seethe Installation 5ofet_lInstructions section.)

[] 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.

MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION

Depending on your range, you'll find the model and serial numbers on a label on the front frame of the range, behind

the kick panel or broiler compartment.

IMPORTANT!

Removeall tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properlg seated and level.

Lift up the cooktop (on models with standard twin burners) and remove ang packing material under it,

Take the accessorg pack out of the oven andlor drawer.

Checkto 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 4" or 5" (depending on model) of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LPgas (propane or butane), 10" of water column.

Make sure gou are supplging gour range with the tgpe

of gas for which it is designed. This range is convertible for use on natural or propane

gas. If gou decide to use this range on LPgas, conversion must be made bg a qualified LP installer 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

:!3" of water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between

!0" and 13" of water column.

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

The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in the supplg line regardless of whether natural or LPgas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supplg line should have an I.D.of

1/2" and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation.

[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut offthe main gas supplg valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the new hookup 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. Ifthe hard piping method is used, gou must carefullg 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.

[] Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas

line in an easilg accessed location outside of the range. Make sure evergone operating the range knows where and how to shut offthe gas supplg to the range.

[] Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2"

NPT internal thread at inlet of regulato[ Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

[] Install male !/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the

NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep

it from turning.

[] Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the

adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

[] When all connections have been made, make

sure all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supplg valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the sgstem.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to

)ressure test the gas supplg sgstem of the residence,

R WARNING: Do NOT USE A FLAME TO

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS,

disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supplg piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supplg sgstem, simplg isolate the range from the gas supplg sgstem bg closing the individual shut-off valve.

[] CHECKIGNITION OF OVEN BURNER

The oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically. To operate the oven, set the oven control to a setting above 200°F.After 30-90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and burn until the set temperature is reached. The oven burner will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the Oven

Control knob. Electric ignition models require electrical power to

operate. In case of u power outage, the oven burners on these models cannot be lit manually with u match. Gas will not flow unless the glow bur is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until power

is restored.

(C)Soft blue flames-- Normal for natural

gas

If burner flames look like (A},call for service. Normal burner flames should look like (B}or (C},depending on the type of gas you use.

With LPgas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.
