- Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the

cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces

and may cause severe bums.

• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

- Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a

flaming pan on a surface unit 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 extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or. if available, by

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 bums 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.

• 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.

• Always turn the surface burners to offbefore removing cookware.

, Carefully watch foods being flied at a high

flame setting.

• 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 broiler drawer or storage drawer.

- Do not use a wok on models with sealed burners

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.

• 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.

•ff 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.

•Never try to move a pan of hot fat. especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

• Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat

bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers and large enough to

cover burner grate. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food.

• 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.

• When flaming foods are under the hood. turn the fan off. The fan. if operating, may spread the flames.

• Place the oven shelves in the desired position while the oven is cool.

• Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that

escapes can cause burns to hands face and eyes.

• Pulling out the sheff to the sheff-stop 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

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE

TO YOUR OLD ONE?

Your new cooktop has gas burners. If you are used to cooking with induction or other electric surface

units, you will notice some differences when you use gas burners.

Type of Cooktop Gas Burners

Radiant (Glass Ceramic)

Cooktop

Description

Regmlar or sealed gas burners use

either LP gas or natural gas.

Electric coils under a glass-

ceramic cooktop.

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 oft; cooking stops right away. Heat travels to the glass surt_ace and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on

the bottom tbr good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is mined off. Remove the pan t}om the surface unit if

you want cooking to stop.

Induction

Electric Coil

Solid Disk

High frequency induction coils

under a glass

sur_:ace.

Flattened metal tubing containing

electric resistance wire suspended

over a drip pan. Solid cast iron

disk sealed to the cooktop surface.

Pans must be made of f_rrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away

and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control oft; the glass cooktop is hot t}om the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.

Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of

warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to

continue cooking for a short time after they are turned of£ Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good

cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned oft'. Remove the pan

t}om the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or

surface unit you have. The following chart will help you to understand the

differences between gas burner cooktops and any other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

Page 9

Surface Burner Controls

SURFACE COOKING

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 fight

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

Electric Ignition Models: Push the control knob in and

turn it to LITE. 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.

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 right front burner is higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker.

Standing Pilot Models: Push control knob in and turn it to HI position.

The burner should light within a few seconds. Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift slightly away from the burner when the burner

is first turned on. A blowing or hissing sound may be heard for 30 to 60 seconds. This normal sound is

due to improved iniection of gas and air into the burner. Put a pan on the burner before lighting it,

or adjust the flame to match pan size as soon as it lights, and the blowing or hissing sound will be

much less noticeable.

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.

After Lighting a Burner

• Do not operate a burner fbr 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.

(continued ne.vt page)

Page 10

How to Select Flame Size

SURFACE COOKING

(continued)

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 NEVER

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.

Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting 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 nrelt. Follow cookware lnanufacturer's recommendations for cooking methods.

Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is

wasted and only serves to heat the handle.

Glass: There are two types of glass cool<ware--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 ve U 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.

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.

_, ,,_i_i_ _

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.

CLOCK AND TIMER

(on some models)

Follow the directions below if your range has the clock and timer shown at the right.

You have the choice of having the timer show the time counting down or the time of day. In either case,

the timer will signal at the end of the timer period to alert you that the time is up.

TMER,,--,__,,,SETTM

(Appearance may vary)

To Set the Clock NOTE: When you first plug in the range or after a

power thilure, the entke Clock!Timer display will light up.

1. Press the CLOCK pad.

2. Press and hold the + or - pad and the time of day

will change 10minutes at a time. To change the time by single minutes, give the pads short taps.

3. Press the CLOCK pad to start the clock.

To Change or Cancel the Timer Setting

When the timer is counting down, use the + and - pad to change the remaining time, or press the TIMER

ON/OFF pad to stop the timer. The timer cannot be cancelled unless you have fully completed "set timer"

instructions above.

To Set the Timer

1. Press the TIMER ON/OFF pad.

2. Use the + and - pads to set the timer. Short taps on

the + or - pad change the timer's setting one minute at a time. Pressing and continuing to hold the + pad

increases the setting ten minutes at a time.

3. Once you have set your timer, press the TIMER ON/OFF pad to start timing.

As the timer counts down, a signal will indicate when one minute is left. After this signal, the display

will count down in seconds. When time _qansout, a

final signal will sound. Press the TIMER ON/OFF

pad to stop the signal.

Display Clock While Timer Is Operating

Pressing the CLOCK pad while the timer is operating will not interfere with the timer's operation; the

display will change to show the clock, but the timer will continue to count down and will still signal when

time is up. Press the TIMER ON/OFF pad again to change the display back to show the timer.

Clock

Follow these directions if

your range has the clock and timer shown at the right.

To set the clock, push in the

knob and turn it to the right. Let the knob out when the

clock hands reach the correct time. Continue turning the

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

Be sure you understand how to set the controls properly. Practice removing and replacing the shelves while the oven is cool. Read the information and

tips on the following pages. Keep this guide handy where you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.

Power Outage--Electric Ignition

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.

Power Outage--Standing Pilot

An electrical power failure will not affect the standing oven pilot.

Oven Control

Your oven is controlled by a single OVEN CONTROL knob. It will normally take 30-90 seconds before the flame comes on. After the

oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner cycles--off completely, then on with a full flame--to maintain the selected temperature.

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.

Oven Light (on some models) Use the switch on the lower control panel to turn the

light on or off.

Page 13

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-

locks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop

before coming completely out of the

oven and will not tilt when you are removing

food from them or placing food on them.

Bump

When placing cookware on a shell pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shell then slide the shelf back into the oven.

This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for baking and roasting identified in this illustration as A (bottom),

B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a

large turkey--the shelf is not designed to slide out at this position. Shelf positions for cooking are suggested

in the Baking, Broiling and Roasting sections.

shelt) facing up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back

of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it

all the way back.

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 uninterrupted.

• 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.

• Do not leave plastic

items on the cooktop-- they may melt if left

too close to the vent.

Vent appearance and location vary.

BAKING

Your oven temperature is controlled using the latest technology in oven control systems. It is recommended

that you operate your new oven for a number of weeks to become familiar with its performance.

How to Set Your Range for Baking

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turu the oven on.

1. Close the oven door. Turn the OVEN CONTROL

knob to the desired temperature.

Oven Shelves

Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in

the desired locations while

the oven is cool. The correct shelf

position depends on the kind of

food and the browning desired.

As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on

either shelf position B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

O O

If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy Do It

gourse!finsmmtions on how to adjust the thermostat.

2. Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

3. Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF and then remove food.

Type of Food Shelf Position Angel food cake A

Biscuits or muffins B or C

Cookies or cupcakes B or C Brownies B or C

Layer cakes B or C Bundt or pound cakes A or B

Pies or pie shells B or C Frozen pies A (on cookie sheet)

Casseroles B or C

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting the food in the oven.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature-- selecting a higher temperature does not shorten

preheat time.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as

much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Roasting B or R

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles and masts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens

without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes. After the oven is preheated place the food

in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1- to 1<-,-inch space between pans as

well as fi'om the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans

so one is not directly above the other.

Page 15

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for best baking results.

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets

(without sides) produce better-looking cookies.

Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all

around) may have darker edges and pale or light

browning may occur. 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 pies for most even browning.

Frozen pies in toil pans should be placed on an

aluminum cookie sheet for baking since the

shiny toil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum

foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and

result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of toil

may be used to catch a spillover by placing it

on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Do not put aluminum foil on the oven bottom.

Cakes

For best browning when baking several 8" or 9"

cakes, stagger them so one pan is not directly

above another. Warped or bent pans will cause

uneven baking results and poorly shaped

products. A cake baked in a pan larger than the

recipe recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller

than recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may overflow.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount ofbrowuing that will occur.

• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and

cookies require this type of pan.

• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to

be reduced by 25°F.

Don't Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes

provide minimum and maximum baking times such as "bake 30-40 minutes."

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door flequently during

cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

Page 16

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT--

DO IT YOURSELF!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you

use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your

recipes as a guide. If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold,

you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler.

If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make it hotter.

We do not recommend the use of thermometers, such as those %und in grocery stores, to check the

temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

To Adjust the Thermostat:

(appearance may vary)

Pull the OVEN CONTROL knob off the range and look at the back side.

To make ad.iustment, loosen (approximately one turn), but do not completely remove, the two screws on the back of the knob. With the back of the knob facing

you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.

To raise the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the right. You'll hear a click for each notch

you move the knob. To lower the temperature, move the top screw toward the left. Each click will change

the oven temperature approximately 10°F. (Range is plus or minus 60°F. flom the arrow.)

We suggest that you make the adjustment one click from the original setting and check oven performance

before making any additional adjustments. After the adjustment is made, retighten screws

so they are snug, but be careful not to ove:ighten. Re-install knob on range and check performance.

Page 17

ROASTING

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.

Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

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.

1. Position oven shelf

at (B) position for small size roast

(3 to 5 lbs.) and at _N.......

(R) position for _,_,_,._, larger roasts.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore the oven controls are set for Baking.

(You may hear a slight clicking sound indicating the oven is working properly.)

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing after being removed from the oven. Recommended

standing time for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to finn up and makes them easier to

carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5 ° to 10°F. If you wish to compensate for temperature rise,

remove the roast from the oven when its internal temperature is 5° to 10°F. less than temperature

shown in the Roasting Guide. Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot

oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

3. Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to the desired temperature. See the Roasting Guide for

temperatures and approximate cooking times.

4. When roasting is finished, turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF and then remove the food

from the oven.

2. Check the weight of the roast. Place the meat fat-side-up or the poultry breast-side-up on the

roasting grid in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of

meat as possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum toil 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.

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.

Questions and Answers

ROASTING

(continued)

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a

meat thermometer?

A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the

completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For

roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at half- hour intervals after half the time has passed.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to

carve it?

A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to

20 minutes after removing from oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

ROASTING GUIDE

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beet. pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes per pound

additional time (15 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook

a roast or poultry?

A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven. Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips

that would help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,

or buy rolled roasts.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil "tent" when

roasting a turkey?

A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving

it unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting. Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly.

Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfiflly without thawing. Follow directions

given on package label.

BROILING

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat t}om above the lbod. 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 t:atto drain away from the food and keep 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 tat 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 turning until done). Time foods for about one-half the total cooking time,

turn food, then continue to cook to preferred doneness.

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. Close the oven and broiler compartment door.

Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to BROIL.

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.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly

to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid. Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat

juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices

could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

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.

Page 20

BROILING GUIDE

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

• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with

your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and

spattering by trapping .juices in the shielded lower

part of the pan.

• For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the

outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through the outer fat surface .just to the edge of the

meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices.

Burner Grates

Lilt out when cool. ,_ n===,,_ Grates should be washed

regularly and, of course, alter spillovers. Wash

them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Alter cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them

in a warm oven for a few minutes. Don't put the grates back on the range while they are wet. When

replacing the grates, be sure they're positioned securely over the burners.

To prevent rusting on cast iron grates, apply a light coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.

Cooktop Surface

To avoid damaging the porcelain

enamel surface of the cooktop and to

prevent it from

becoming dull, clean up spills fight

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 surl:ace has cooled, wash and rinse. For

other spills such as fat spatterings, 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).

Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible

materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or auy other appliance.

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup

ammonia to loosen the soil. Let sit overnight (or approximately 12 hours), then scrub with a

soap-filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse grates thoroughly and dry completely before replacing

them on the range top. 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 coo_vare to absorb the heat.

CAUTION: Do not clean the grates in a dishwasher or in a self-cleaning oven.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from

excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. This is

particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings

or other foods that are highly acidic (such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or

lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surt:ace and should be wiped up

immediately. We don't recommend using aluminum toil on the

oven bottom. It can affect air flow if the holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat at the bottom of

the oven, resulting in poor baking performance. If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow

the oven to cool first. Remove the oven bottom for easier clean-up and to prevent damage to the

continuous cleaning oven coating (on some models). Frequent wipings with mild soap and water

(particularly after cooking meat) will prolong the time between major cleanings. Rinse thoroughly.

Soap left on the oven bottom can cause stains.

For heavy soil, use an abrasive cleaner or a soap- filled scouring pad. A commercial oven cleaner may

also be used, following the package directions.

the bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only. Do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb will break.

Control Panel and Knobs

It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water or

vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dlT with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control

panel--they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up. To raise the cooktop:

1. Be sure burners are turned off.

2. Remove the grates.

3. Grasp the two front burner wells and lift up.

Some models have dual support rods that will hold the cooktop up while you clean underneath it.

Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy water and a

clean cloth. If you removed your surface burners while

cleaning, make sure they are properly seated when

replacing them. After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be careful not

to pinch your fingers). Lower cooktop gently to avoid blowing out pilot flames (on standing pilot models).

Oven Air Vents

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 kick panel, storage

drawer or broiler drawer (depending on the model). Vent appearance and location vary.

Removable Storage Drawer (on some models)

The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable

material in the drawer. The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under

the range. Clean the storage drawer with a damp cloth or sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or scouring pads.

To remove the storage drawer:

1. Pull the drawer straight , 1_.

out until it stops.

2. Tilt the front of the drawer ... _;, __i

up and tree of the range.

To replace the storage drawer:

1. Set the stops on the back of the drawer over the stops in the range.

2. Slide the drawer evenly and straight back, so that the rails in the range are engaged.

Removable Kick Panel (on some models)

The kick panel may be removed for cleaning under the range.

To remove, lift up the bottom of the panel slightly to disengage the

panel from the tabs at the base of the range. Pull the bottom of the

panel forward until the spring clips are released at the top of the panel.

To replace, insert the two slots at the bottom of the panel onto

the two tabs at the base of the range and push the top of the

panel forward to engage the spring clips.

CARE AND CLEANING

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door.

To remove the dora, open it a few inches to the special stop

position that will hold the door open. Grasp

firmly on each side and lift the door

straight up and off the hinges.

NOTE: Be careful not to place hands

between the hinge and the oven door

frame as the hinge could snap back and

pinch fingers. To replace the dora; make sure the hinges are in the

special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the

door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull

them back out.

(continued)

TO CLEAN THE DOOR: (Do not immerse door in water.)

Inside of door:

• Allow to cool before cleaning. For light soil, wipe frequently with mild soap and water (especially after

cooking meat). This will prolong the time between maior cleanings. Rinse thoroughly.

NOTE: Soap left on the oven door causes

additional stains when the oven is reheated.

• For heavy soil, choose an oven cleaner (for

continuous cleaning ovens, before applying a commercial oven cleaner, remove the oven door)

and follow label instrnctions. Rinse well.

Outside of door: *Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,

sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well.

You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.

* Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces

and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

, Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or

harsh abrasives on the outside of the dora:

Porcelain Oven Interior (on all models except Continuous-Cleaning models)

With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will retain its attractive finish for many years.

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a

mild abrasive cleanser. Soapy, wet pads may also be used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or

acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit

juices or pie filling) to remain on the 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 leave in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia

fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food. When necessary, you may use a commercial oven

cleaner. Follow the package directions.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

• Be careful where the oven cleaner is sprayed.

• Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls

and switches (on some models) because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

• Do not allow a fihn from the cleaner to remain on

the temperature sensing bulb--it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located at the

rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the

bulb as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

• Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside oven

dooc handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinet or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage

these surfaces.

Page 27

Special Care of Continuous-Cleaning Oven Interior (on some models)

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

coating that cannot be cleaned in the usual manner with soap, detergents, steel wool pads, commercial oven

cleaners, coarse abrasive pads or coarse brushes. Use of such cleansers and/or the use of oven sprays will cause

permanent damage. The special coating is a porous ceramic material,

which is dark in color and *'eels 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 fiom forming little

beads or droplets that run down the side walls of a hard-surface oven liner, leaving unsightly streaks that

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 and at some time after extended usage, stains may appear that cannot

be removed. The special coating works best on small amounts

of spatter. It does not work well with larger spills, especially sugars, egg or dairy lnixtures. 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 tile 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

othel_ise damaging the porous finish on the oven walls.

To Clean the Continuous-Cleaning Oven:

1. Let range parts cool before handling. We recommend

rubber gloves be worn when cleaning.

2. Remove shelves and cookware.

3. Soil visibility may be reduced by operating the oven at 400°F. Close the door and turn the OVEN

CONTROL knob to 400°F. Time for at least four hours. Repeated cycles may be necessary before

improvement in appearance is apparent.

Remember: During the operation of the oven, the door and other range surfaces will get hot enough to

cause burns. Do not touch. Let the range cool before replacing the oven shelves.

4. Ifa spillover or heavy soiling occurs on the porous 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 fiequently, 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

Continuous-Cleaning Oven. The inside of the oven door has a porcelain enamel

finish. The oven door lifts off for cleaning away from the Continuous-Cleaning Oven. For instructions on

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, commercial oven cleanei; silicone oven sprays,

coarse pads or coarse brushes on the porous surface. These products will spot, clog and damage

the porous surface and reduce its ability to work. Do not scrape the porous surface _th a knife or

spatula--they could permanently damage the finish.

Z223.1, latest edition. In Canada, installation must conform with the current Natural Gas

Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B 149.1 or the current Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-

B 149.2, and with local codes where applicable.

This range has been design-certified by the American Gas Association according to ANSI

Z21.1, latest edition and Canadian Gas Association according to CAN/CGA-I.1 latest edition. As with

any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find these precautions in the Important Safety Instructions in the front of this guide. Read them careflflly.

• Have your range installed by a qualified installer.

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

Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition).

In Canada, electrical grounding must be in accordance with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian

Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes. See Electrical Connections in this section.

• Before installing your range on linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make sure

the floor covering can withstand 180°E without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4" thick plywood or similar insulator is placed between the range and carpeting.

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°E

• Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames of operating burners, install a

ventilation hood over the range that projects forward at least 5" beyond 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 as the

appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface and the

ventilation hood surface MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.

EXCEPTION: Installation of a 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 a 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 BE LESS

THAN 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 less than 18". (See 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 seriously injured.

WARNING

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 this section.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly,

careflflly 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.

• 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.

LOCAT|OH

Do not locate the range where it ,slay 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.

PROTECTYOUR FLOOR

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°E (See

the Important Safety Instructions section of the Installation Instructions.)

K|TCHEHCAD|HETS

Make sure the wall coverings around your range can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range. (See the Important Safety Instructions section of the Installation Instructions.)

[] PROVIDEADEQUATEGASSUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" 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 LP gas,

conversion must be made by 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 4" and

13" of water column. For LP gas, 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

LP gas 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.

[] CONNECTTHE RANGETO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until 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 an A.G.A.-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 made. To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound

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

remove the 90 ° elbow for easier installation.

3. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the NET internal thread of the manual shut-

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

4. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

5. 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.

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the individual

shut-off valve.

[] L|GHTTHE PILOTS

(For Models Equipped with Standing Pilots.

If the range is an electric ignition model, the

burners are ignited by electric ignition which

eliminates the need for standing pilot lights.)

The range should be installed in its permanent

position before any pilots are lit or adjusted.

Light the Surface Burner PiJots

CAUTION: Make sure tile surface burner

control knobs are in the OFF position before

attempting to light the pilots.

1. Raise the cooktop.

2. Light both pilots with a match.

3. To avoid pilot outage, use caution when

closing cooktop after lighting pilots.

NOTE: Do not leave standing pilot lit in a newly

constructed or remodeled home or apartment

that will be unoccupied for more than a month.

Each pilot flame was adjusted at the factory to be

approximately 5/16" tall. A tinge of yellow

appearing at the upper tip is normal. If you find

pilot adjustment is necessary, follow instructions

at right.

Adiust the Surface Burner Pilots if Necessary

1. Raise the cooktop.

2. Locate the pilot adjustment screw. It can be accessed through the

small hole near the center of the manifold panel.

3. To adjust, use a blade-type screwdriver with a shaft diameter of less than 3/16". Turn pilot adjustment screw tmtil pilot is 5/16" high. Do not reduce the flame to less than 5/16" or pilot outage may occur. A pilot flame burning higher than recommended may generate soot (carbon black) on the bottom of your cooktop.

Your oven is designed to operate quietly and atttomatically: To operate the oven, turn the OVEN

CONTROL knob to a setting above 200°E 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. The oven cannot be lit during a power outage. Gas will not flow unless the glow

bar 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.

burn with no yellow tipping. (With most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer cones are

normal.) Flames should not lift off burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter

opening until flames are stabilized.

The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near

the back wall behind the storage drawer or the

kick panel (depending on the model). Remove

the drawer or panel. See the Care and Cleaning

section in this guide.

To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen

the Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter
