IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

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 manual. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.

WARNING

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

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 manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.

■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, threeprong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 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 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.

Customer Service

Operating Instructions

Safety Instructions Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips

■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 packaging materials are removed

from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.

■Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a

qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the

Installation of

the range

section.

■

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. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

■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.

■Do not leave children alone or unattended

where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.

■Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the oven door, storage drawer, warming drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

■

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.

■For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

■Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful 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 storage drawer, a warming 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.

■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 wellfitting 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 or warming drawer can be

smothered completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■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 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Operating Instructions

Safety InstructionsInstallation InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid 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. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

WARNING!

SURFACE BURNERS

■Always use the

LITE

position (on electric

ignition models) or the

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.

■When using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for top-of-range cooking.

■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.

■Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

■Always heat fat slowly, 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.

■If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.

■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

■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.

■When flaming foods are under the hood,

turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flames.

■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 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.

■Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

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

■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.

■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.

■ If range is located near a window, do not

hang long curtains that could blow over the surface 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 manual 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.

■Be careful when you clean the cooktop

because the area over the pilot (on standing pilot models) will be hot.

■Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

■Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

■Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■Place the oven shelves in the desired position

while the oven is cool.

■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 “R” is not designed to slide.

■Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

■Never use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom. Improper use of foil could start a fire.

■Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the

oven except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.

■When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch fire.

■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, press the

CLEAR/OFF

pad, and keep the oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.

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.

OVEN

■Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

self-cleaning operation.

■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the

broiler pan, grid and other cookware.

■Do not clean the door gasket. The door

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

■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn

the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

■Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial

oven cleaner or oven liner 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.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

■The purpose of the warming drawer

is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the warming drawer.

■Do not use the warming drawer to dry

newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils or food in the warming drawer when not in use.

■Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in

or near your warming drawer.

■Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and

canned food a safe distance away from your warming drawer.

■Do not warm food in the warming drawer

for more than two hours.

■

Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the warming drawer.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the warming drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.

■Use care when opening the drawer. Open

the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■Do not use aluminum foil to line the

drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.

ELECTRIC WARMING DRAWER (on some models)

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Using the surface burners.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

How to Light a Surface Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it to the

LITE

position.

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.

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

How to Select Flame Size

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware.

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

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

In Case of Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control 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.

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.

After Lighting a Burner

■Do not operate the 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.

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 largest burners are higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker.

Customer Service

Operating InstructionsSafety Instructions

Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips

Using the surface burners.

Wok This Way

(on models with sealed burners)

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.

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Stove Top Grills

(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.

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 tightfitting 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.

Using the oven.

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

Before you begin…

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

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

To remove a shelf,

pull it toward you, tilt the

front end up and pull it out.

To replace,

place the end of the shelf (stoplocks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.

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

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

Power Outage for Electric Ignition Models

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 Light

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

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.

■

Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.

■

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.

■

Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

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

If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking or roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

Press the

BAKE

pad.

Press the +or –pad (on some models) or the number pads (on some models) until the desired temperature is displayed.

The oven will start automatically. The word

and

100°

will be displayed. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound.

To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, press the BAKE pad and then the + or – or number pads to get the new temperature.

Press the

CLEAR/OFF

pad when baking is finished and then remove the food from the oven.

Type of Food Shelf Position

Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) B or C

Angel food cake, A bundt or pound cakes

Biscuits, muffins, brownies, B or C cookies, cupcakes, layer cakes, pies

Casseroles B or C

Roasting R, A or B

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the 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.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 11⁄

″between pans, from

the front, back and sides of the wall.

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Oven Moisture

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.

The oven has a special low shelf (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when roasting a large turkey. The shelf is not designed to slide out at this position.
