IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

cancm; birth defects or other reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn

customers of potential exposure to such
substances.

* The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens

gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure

can he minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using your appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:

• Have the installer show yon the location of
the range gas cut-off valve and how to shut it

off if necessary.

• Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent

fire or smoke damage should the packing

material ignite.

• Mter 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 use.

Never install it directly over interior kitchen

carpeting.

• 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 fimls.
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.

AWARNING--

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 forw-ard.
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.

• Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations and areas with

poor air circulation.

• 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.

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.

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 information in
the installation instructions.

Failure to take this precaution could result in

tipping of the range and injury.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

* Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this manual.

* Be sure your appliance is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation

insn'uctions.

* Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other

servicing should be referred to a qualified

technician.

* Before performing any service,

DISCONNECT THE RANGE POWER

SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD
DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING

THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE

CIRCUIT BREAKER.

* Do not leave children alone--children should

not be left alone or unattended in an area

where an appliance is in use. They should

never be allowed to sit or stand on any part

of the appliance.

*Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the door, kick panel, drip tray handles,
or cooktop. They could damage the range

and even tip it ovm; causing severe personal

injury.

,,Do not store flammable materials in the oven

or near the cooktop.

* Do not store plastic, flammable liquids or

combustible materials on top of the optional
high shelf.

* 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 over the range.

Flammable material could he ignited if
brought in contact with surface burners,

burner grates or oven heating elements
and may cause severe burns.

, Use only dry pot hoMers--moist or damp pot

holders on hot surtaces may result in burns

fi'om steam. Do not let pot holders touch
surface burners, burner grates or oven

heating elements. Do not use a rowel or

other bulky cloth.

. When surface cooking, do not touch the

surface burners, burner grates, grille or
griddle (on some models) or the surrounding

areas.

When using the oven, do not touch the oven
heating dements, the interior surface of the

oven or the exterior area immediately
surrounding the door or back trim.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
During and after use, do not touch, or let

clothing or other flammable materials
contact, the surface burners, grille or griddle

(on some models), areas near the surface

burners, or any interior area of the oven;
allow sufficient time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,

surfaces near the opening, crevices around
the oven door, the drip tray handles directly

above the oven dora; metal trim parts
above the dool. or any backguard or high

shelf surface.

The drip trays get hot when the oven is on.
Do not remove the drip trays until they are

COO1.

CAUTION: The inside surthce of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.

, Keep the ventilator hood and grease filters

clean to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires. Turn the ventilator OFF in case

of fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor
or other spirits on the cooktop. The blowei.

if in operation, could spread the flames.

. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or

ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a
fi'esh air supply is available.

. Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat

to at least an INTERNAL temperature of

160°E and poultry to at least an INTERNAL

temperature of 180°E Cooking to these

temperatures usually protects against

toodborne illness.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

,, Do not use water on grease lures. Never pick

up a flaming pan. Turn the conn'ols 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
extinguishen

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 extinguishm:

Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing tile oven door and

turning tile oven offor by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguishen

,, 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 flanmmble

materials accumulate in or near the range.
Clean drip trays and liners after every use.

'*If you smell gas, the ins'taller has not done a

proper,job of checking for leaks. You can have
a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if

the connections are not completely tight.
Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself

procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the ON position and fbr

your protection it must be done by a qualified
service technician. Never use an open flame to

locate a leak.

'*If by some chance a burner goes out and gas

escapes, open a window or a door to let the
room air out. Do not attempt to use the

appliance until the gas has had time to
dissipate. Follow the instructions in What to do
if You Smell Gas.

,*Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of

the oven or cooktop. Using a foil liner could
result in a fire hazard or the obstruction of the

flow of combustion and ventilation ai_: Foil is
an excellent heat insulator and heat will be

trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can
upset the cooking performance and can

damage the finish of the oven or the cooktop.

SURFACE COOKING

* Do not heat unopened food containers; a

build-up of pressure may cause the container
to hurst.

* Set the burner control so that the flame heats

only the bottom of the pan and does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame
is hazardous. The high BTU burners can easily

melt cookware handles.

* Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry pot

holder, to prevent movement of the utensil
when sdrring or turning food.

*Always heat fat siow_ and watch as it heats.
*Always use the LITE position when igniting

the surface burners and make sure the burners
have ignited, including the center simmer

flame.

,*Never leave the surface burners unattended at

high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

If the burner flames are smothered by a severe
boilover which affects the ignitol; unhurned gas

will escape into the room.

,*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.

, Never Mock the vents (air openings) of the

range. They provide the air inlet and oudet that
are necessary for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion. Air openings are
located at the top and bottom of the oven door,
drip ways, drip tray handle areas, backgaurd
vent area and area immediately surrounding
the top burners (burner pans).

SURFACE COOKING

• Always turn the surface burners to OFF before
removing cookware.

• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.

* 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

tile sides of tile pan.

• Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fht can cause spillovers when

food is added.

"Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible

to prevent overheating tat beyond the smoking
point.

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

a deep fat fryen Wait until tile fat is cool.

• When using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for top-of-range cooking.

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

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

* Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air from tile vent may ignite flammable

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

• 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 m cover burner grate. This
will both save cleaning time and prevent

hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy
spattering or spillovers left on the range can

ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily
grasped and remain cool.

*Keep all plastics away from the top burners.

* Do not leave plastic items on the cooktol_-

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

. To avoid the possibility of a burn, al_ys 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 under the hood, turn

the fan on.

,*Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool

before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the container under

the cooktop burners, the grille or the griddle.
Clean these areas after each use or boiloven

. For proper lighting and performance of the

cooktop burners, keep the burner ports dean.
It may be necessary to clean these when there

is a boilover or when the burner does not light,

even though the electronic igllitors click.

'*After deaning, it is important to make sure

the ontex cap/burner port is properly aligned

with the burner base. incorrect alignment will
produce poor burner performance. Never

operate the burner without all burner parts
in place.

. Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam

burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to
clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some

cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. Follow manufhcturer's directions.

. Do not use the grille for cooking excessively

fatty meats or products which promote flare-up.
'*DO NOT use cookware on the grille.
'*If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the surface

burners and create a fire hazard.

, Be sure all the range and/or cooktop controls

are turned off and the appliance is cool before

using any type of aerosol cleaner or cooking

spray on or around the appliance. The

chemical that produces the spraying action

could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause

metal parts to corrode.

OVEN

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

* Stand away from the range when opening the

oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• Never "open door broil" with children nearby.
They could quickly come into contact with a

hot oven interior surface, causing severe burns.

• Children in walkers, or children crawling, can

be attracted to the round oven door handle
and may grab and open the oven door. This

can result in injtu 7 from tile door being pulled
open on a child, or severe burns if the oven

is in use and hot.

,, Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and tile con'miner
could burst, causing an i_,jury.

• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

. Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
. Place the oven shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder

contact the heating elements.

, Pulling out the shelf to the shelf 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.

, 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 on fire.

, Do not use oven for a storage area. Items

stored in an oven can ignite.

,*Do not leave paper products, cooking uteus'ds

or food in the oven when not in use.

• Do not clean the door gasket. The door gz_sket
is essential for a good seal. Care should be
token not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

,, Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven

cleaner or oven liner protective coating 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 selt:

clean cycle is used.

" Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

,*Before serf-cleaning the oven, remove the oven

shelves, oven shelf slide assemblies, broiler
pan, grid and other cookw-are.

. Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting the self-cleaning operation.

,*If the self-deaning mode malfunctions, turn

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

Burners

Your new professional gas range is equipped
with burners typical of those used in restaurants.

These burners are designed in two pieces tbr
easy cleaning and control.

The center, smaller cap covers and protects the
simmer burner from boilovers tbat could put the

flame out. This cap also spreads the simmer
burner heat out to avoid too much heat being

concentrated on the center of tim pan.
The simmer burner is always on when the burner

is in use. The burner should never be operated
if tim simmer cap is not in place.

The outer cap/port ring constitute tim main
burner and are in operation between the HI

and LO settings.
The burners have electronic spark ignition to

eliminate continuously burning pilots. When the
outer cap/port ring is on and tim flame is blown

out, it will relight. The burners are rated at

15,000 BTU around tim outer cap/port ring.

When turned to the simmer setting, only the
center of tim burner is lit, and it is rated at

500 BTU.

ignitors

NOTE: Keep the ignitor, ignitor cap and burner
ports clean.

If a burner does not ignite, listen for the
clicking sound. If the ignitor is not clicking,

turn off the burnm: Check the circuit breaker
for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breakm:

If the ignitor still fails to operate, check the
Problem Solver in the back of tbis manual or

the Power Failure information in this section.

NOTE: If you are using propane gas, a slight pop
or flash may occur at the burner ports a few

seconds after the burner has been turned off
This "extinction pop" is normal for propane gas.

Burner base

Simmering Your new profbssional gas range has

exceptionally low simmering capabilities. The
center simmer cap serves as a heat diffuser to
spread out the heat to avoid having a center hot
spot. Keep in mind tbat because of the high
heat capacity of the outer burnm; and the mass
of the cast iron burner grates (they retain heat
longer tban lighter, conventional grates), some
foods may continue to cook by retained heal

after tbe burner has been turned off.

The simmer burner is lit from the outside
burner flame.

B_rner

efficiency
and jlame

characteristics

The burner flame should burn completely
around and witbin tim burner Mth no excessive

noise or lifting. The flame should be blue in
color and stable witb no yellow tips.

An improper air-gas mixture may cause eitber
a burner flutter or a yellow-tipped flame.
A technician should adjust tim flame.

The flame travels tbrough tbe simmer ignition
channels and crosses over onto tbe simmer

burner located just beneatb the simmer cap.
When lighting only the simmer burnm; always

light the main burner first. This will in turn

provide the ignition source fbr tbe simmer
burner. Ensure that tbe simmer ports are lit
before turning tim control knob down to tim
simmer position. Should a strong draft or
boilover extinguish the simmer flame, it will not

relight automatically as the outer burner would.

During initial use, fbreigm particles in tim gas

line, or dust in the air or around tim appliance

may cause an orange flame. This will disappear
