Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach itto the wall and floor by installing the Anti--tip
device supplied.
Check if the device is installed and engaged properly. Make sure the chain fits securely into the slot
in the bracket.
Do not allow the chain or bracket to damage the gas plumbing in any way.
If you pull tile range ont from the wall for ally' reason, make snre the device is properly

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
The Califomb Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Californb 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 natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by abluish 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.
SAFETYPRECAUtiONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off
if necessary.
Hax.e your rang.e installed and properly

WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan size--a void pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware 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. Usepans with
handles that can be easily grasped and remain cooL
Always use d_e LITE posidon when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
haze ignited.
Nexer leave flse surthce burners
unattended at hiOl flame setting:s.
Boiloxers cause smoking and greasy

Adjust tile mp bui_mr flame dze so it does
,lot extend beyond dse edge of tile
cookware. Excessixe flame is hazardous.
Use only d U pot holders--moist or damp
pot holders on hot surl_aces may resuh in
burlls flom 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 holden Such
cloths can catch fire on a hot burner
When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
To minimize the possibility of btsY/lS,
ignidon of flammable matesials and
spillage, mm cookware handles reward

under tile storage drawer
AiwWs heat fi_t slowl> and watch as it heats.
Do not leave any items on file cookmp.
The hot air flom tile \etlt 511W ignite
flammable items and will increase plessure
in closed containers, which m W cause
them to burst.
If a combination of oils 05 fats will be used
in flying, stir together before heating or as
fats meh slowly.
Do not use a wok on the cooking suifi_ce
if file wok has a round metal ring that is
placed oxer the burner grate to support
file wok. This 5qng acts as a heat trap, which
may damage tile burner grate and burner
head. Also, it may cause file builder to work
improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide lexel above flint allowed by
cmxent standards, resulting in a heahh
hazard.
Foods for flying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on fozen foods or moisture
on flesh foods can cause hot l_atto bubble
up and oxer the sides of the pan.
Use the least possible amount of tht for
eflectixe shallow or deep-tht flTing. Filling
tile pan too flfll of fat can cause spillo_ers
when food is added.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenexer
possible to prexent oveflseafing fat beyond

technician. Nexer use an open flame to
locate a leak.
To axoid die possibility of a burn, always be
certain dsat file controls for all burners are
at tile off position and all gaates are cool
befose attempting to remoxe fllem.
Nexer clean tile cooktop s/5iPace when it is
hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fismes
and wet cloflls could cause steam burJls if
used on a hot surl_ace.

How to Light a Surface Burner
Donot operate theburner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate. Thefinish on
thegrate may chip without cookware to absorb
theheat.
Checkto be sure the bumer you tum on is the one
youwant to use.
Besure thebumers and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other mateda/s on them.
Thesmaller burner (right rearposition) will give the
best simmer results. Thelowest setting of the
burner has a smaflflame toprovide simmering
capability Tosimmer foods,set the co&top control
knob to the/owestsetting that wi// maintain the
desired simme_ If simmering on one burner and the
other burners are turned on, the gas flow of the
sirnmedngburner may have to beadjusted.
Be sure you turn the control knob
to OFFwhen you finish cooking.
Your surti_ce burners are lit b} electric

Push the control knob in and mrn it
counterclockwise to tile rITE position.
Mter tile burner ignites, turn tile knob to

Off', turn tile knob clockwise as flu" as it
will go, to tile OFFposition.
:_In case of a power failure, youcan light the surface

to the burner, then push in and turn thecontrol knob
to the LITEposition. Useextreme caution when
lighting burnersthis way Surfaceburners in use
whenan electdcal power failure occurs wifl continue

How to Select Flame Size
Use a fiat-bottomed wok.
Forsafe handlIng of cookware,never let the flames
extend up the sides of the co&ware,
Watch tile flame, not tile knob, as vou
reduce heat. The flame size on a gas
bm'ner should match tile cookware w)u
are using.
Wok This Way
We recommendthat you use a fiat-bottomed wok,
availableat your local retail stores,or usethe Wok
Holderaccessory with traditional round bottomed woks,
TheWokHolder accesso_ model JXWK, canbe
ordered from your appliance dealer
The X&'ok Holder fits on top of tile range
grate to provide support and proper air
circulation for traditional rotmd bottom
woke only. Do not rise flat bottolned wales
with tile XAk)k Holder.
Cookware
Aluminum:Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most fbods brown evenly in
an ahmfinmn skillet. Use saucepans with
tight fitting lids when cooking with
minim mn am Otlnts of water:
Enamelware:Under some conditions,
tile enaillel of soil/e cookware ill[iv illelt.
Follow cookware illanttfilCttli'ei"s
recommendations tot cooking methods.
Glass: There are two t)p_ of glass
cook\v_lI'e: those for oven rise only and
those for top-ot:range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and tea pots). Glass
conducts heat vex_' slowly.
Any flame larger than tile bottom of tile
cookware is wasted and only sei'_es to
heat tile handle.
Do not use a wok on }lily other stlpport
ring. Placing tile ring over tile burner
grate may cause the burner to work

monoxide levels above allowable cmTent
standards. This could be dangerous to
your health. Do not tlW to use such wo]cs
