IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read

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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by 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.

When You Get Your Range

●

Have the installer show you the location of the

range gas cut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

●

Have

your range installed and properly

grounded by a qualified installer,

with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians,

●

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, prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. In Canada, the appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

●

Be sure all packing materials are removed from

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

●

Locate range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent 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. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See Installation Instructions.

three-

●

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.

Using Your Range

●

Don’t leave children alone or unattended where

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

Don’t allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on

the door, storage or broiler drawer (on models so equipped) or range top. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

could result. To prevent accidental tipping of the

range, attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See Installation Instructions.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The

;.4

Anti-Tip device is engaged-when you push the range back against the wall.

●

Let burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.

●

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 burns.

●

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 off burner, then smother

flaming pan by covering pan

completely with well-fitting lid, cookie

baking soda or, if available, a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

●

Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range storage drawer or near a cooktop.

●

not store or use combustible

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.

●

Always turn surface burner to OFF before

removing cookware.

●

Carefully watch foods being fried 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 storage drawer.

●

Do not use a wok 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 sides of pan.

●

Use 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.

●

If a combination of oils or fats will be used

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

●

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

●

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

●

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, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

●

When using glass cookware, make sure it is

designed for top-of-range cooking.

●

Keep all plastics away from top burners.

●

Do not leave plastic

appearance and location vary

The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

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.

●

If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the top burners

and create a fire hazard.

●

If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and

call a qualified service technician. Never use an

open flame to locate a leak.

●

Use only glass cookware that is recommended

for use in gas ovens.

●

Always remove broiler pan from oven 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 broiler pan is in place correctly to

reduce the possibility of grease fires.

If you should have a grease fire in the broiler

pan, turn off oven, and keep oven door closed to contain fire until it bums out.

Cleaning Your Range

which may ignite.

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

●

Do not use oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

●

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.

●

Keep oven free from grease buildup.

●

Place oven shelves in desired position while

oven is cool.

●

Pulling out 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. The lowest position “R” is not designed to slide.

●

Don’t heat unopened food containers in the

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

●

Don’t use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven

Self-Cleaning Oven

●

Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is

essential for a good seal. Care should be taken 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.

●

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler

pan and other cookware.

You Need Service

●

Read “The Problem Solver” in the back of

this guide.

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

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.

lids when cooking with

When boiling, adjust the flame so the circle it makes is about 1/2 inch smaller than the bottom of the cookware—no matter what the cookware is made of. Foods cook just as quickly at a gentle boil

at a furious, rolling boil. A high boil creates steam and cooks away moisture, flavor and nutrition. Avoid it except for the few cooking processes that need a vigorous boil.

When frying or warming foods in stainless steel, cast iron or enamelware, keep the flame down lower—to about 1/2 the diameter of the pan.

When frying in glass or ceramic cookware, lower the flame even more.

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 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 book handy where you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.

Electric Ignition

The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by electric ignition.

To light either burner, press the pad for the desired

function then press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed. The burner should ignite within

After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner cycles—off completely, then on with a full flame-to keep the oven temperature controlled.

Oven Light

The oven light comes on automatically when the door is opened. Use the switch on the lower control panel to turn the light on or off when the door is closed.

Adjusting Oven Thermostat

When cooking a food for the first time in your new

oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period the factory setting, and differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual. You may be inclined to think that the new oven is not performing correctly; however, your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more

likely to be accurate than the oven it replaced.

If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change the thermostat, set the oven temperature or lower than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of tbis “test” should give you an idea of how much the thermostat should be changed.
