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 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 further 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 shut-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.

Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations to prevent pilot

outage (on models with standing pitots) and poor air circulation.

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.

Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified 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

Instructions.

WARNING: Theseadjustmentsmustbe

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 injuryor property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility

for the conversion..

Have your range installed and properly grounded

by a qualified installer in accordance with the

Installation lnstructions_ Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range

installers or service technicians.

Plug your range (electronic ignition models only) into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove

the round grounding prong from the plug.. If indoubt 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,

three-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_

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

AWARNING

All ranges can tip and injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and

floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied,

To check if the device is installed and

engaged properly, remove the broiler drawer and inspect the rear leveling lego Make sure it fits securely into the slot.

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.

(continued next page)

Using Your Range

• Do not leave children alone or unattended where

a range is hot or in operation. They could be

seriously burned..

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°E Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodborne illness_

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on

the door, storage or broiler drawer (depending on

model) or cooktop, They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury..

Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where

children can reach them.

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. Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching

for items stored in cabinets over the cookto F

Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flames or hot oven surfaces and

may cause severe burns. 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 using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher. Flame in the oven or broiler drawer can be smothered

completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry

chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher..

Do not store flammable materials in an oven, broiler drawer or near the 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. Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can

lead to broken or shattered glass.

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

Surface Cooking

• Always use the LITE position (on models with

electronic ignition) or the HI position (on models

with standing pilots) when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

o 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. To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without

letting them extend over adjacent burners.

Always turn the surface burners 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 in the following places:

--Oven vent at the rear of the cooktop°

--Air intake under the broiler drawer°

--Air vent at the top of the oven door.

Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models., Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper

operation of the range.

=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 standards, resulting in a heaith

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. Fillingthe 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 stowly.

• Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.

, Use a deep4at thermometer whenever possible to

prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point°

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

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

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

. 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 grates. This wilt 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 will remain cool.

Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air

from the vent may ignite flammable items and wilt

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.

tf the range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the top burners and

create a fire hazard°

When a pilot goes out (on models with standing

pilots), you will detect a faint odor of gas as your signal

to retight the pilot. When relighting the pilot, make sure the burner controts are in the OFF position, and follow

instructions in the Installation instructions

to relighL

If you smell gas, and you have already made sure the pilots are lit (on models with standing pilots), turn off the

gas to the range and call a qualified service technician.

Never use an open flame to locate a leak,

(continued next page)

, Keep all plastics away from the top burners.

° Do not leave plastic

items on the

cook'top--they may

melt if left too close

to the vent,

Vent appearance and location vary

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

• Do not use the 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 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 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.

• Do not heat unopened food containers° Pressure

could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury°

• 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

• Never use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper use of foil could start a fire.

Cleaning "YourRange

o Clean only parts listed in this Use and

Care Guide.

Keep the range clean and free of accumulations

of grease or spillovers, which may ignite.

Be careful when you clean the cooktop because

the area over the pilot will be hot (for standing

pilot models). For continuous clean models, do not use oven

cleaners on any of the continuous cleaning

surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can be

identified by their rough surface finish,

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,

follow the manufacturer's directions°

• Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens.

• Always remove broiler pan from the oven or the

broiler compartment as soon as you finish broiling.

Grease _eft in the pan can catch on 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, turn the oven off and keep the broiler compartment door

closed to contain fire until it burns out,,

3, Locate the two pilot ports and light each of them with

a match.

NOTE: If the pilot is too high or low, you can adjust it. See the Adjust the Surface Burner Pilots If Necessary

section of the Installation Instructions.

4. Lower the cooktopo Your surface burners are now ready for use.

5, Observe the lighted burners. Compare the flames

to pictures in the Before You Call for Service section.

If any flame is unsatisfactory, call for service_

Surface Burner Controls

The 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 right front and right rear burners,

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

(natural gas installations only).

• On some models, the burners are all the same size and power.

Lighting Instructions for Electronic Ignition Models

Your surface burners are lighted by electronic ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.

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 failt, re occurs will continue to operate normally.,

The electrode of the spark igniter is expose& 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.

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 a burner..

To Light a Surface Burner

Electronic Ignition Models: Make sure all burners and caps

are in place.

Push the control knob in and

turn it to LifE. You will hear a little

"clicking" noise--the sound of the

electric spark igniting the burner. Standing Pilot Models:

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

The burner should light within a few seconds. After the burner ignites, 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 sound may be heard the first few seconds. This normal sound is due to improved injection

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 sound will stoF

After Lighting a Burner

• After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame

° Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one

you want to use.

• Do not operate a burner for an extended pedod 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 coot before you

place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. When fast heating is desired, 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.

Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating of the

cookware and could be hazardous°

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 result& Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel

of some ceokware 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.

Wok This Way

(on models with sealed burners) We recommend that you

use a 14-inch or smaller

flat-bottomed wok Make sure

the wok bottom sits flat on the

grate. Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. They are available at your local retail store°

Do not use a flat-bottomed

wok on a support ring_

Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly,

resulting in carbon monoxide

levels above allowable standard& This could be dangerous to your health.

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 standards, This can be

hazardous to your health°

Clock and Timer

(on some models)

(appearance may vary)

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

To Set the Clock

NOTE: When you first plug in the range or after a power failure, the entire Clock/Timer display will light up.

To Set the Timer

1. Press the TIMER ON/OFF pad,.

2. Use the ,_ or V pads to set the timer,, Short taps on the A or V pad change the timer's setting one

minute at a time., Pressing and continuing to hold the A 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 runs out, a final signal will sound,, Press the TIMER ON/OFF pad to stop the signal.

To Change or Cancel the Timer Setting

When the timer is counting down, use the A or T pads 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.

TIMER ON/OFF pad again to change the display back to

show the timer

Before Using Your Oven

Be sure you understand how to set the control 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_

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired

position before you turn the oven on..

Lighting Instructions for

Standing Pilot Models

Some models have standing oven pilots that must be lit initially..

To light the oven pilot:

1. Be sure the OVEN TEMP knob is in the OFF position.

2. Open the broiler drawer and remove the broiler pan and grid.. This will make it easier for you to reach inside the broiler compartment.

3. Find the oven pilot port at the back of the broiler

compartment.. The long tube, running from front

to back, is the oven burner..

The pilot port is at the back, about one inch below the burner..

4. Using a long match or match holder, reach in

and light the oven pilot°

• To light the oven burner,

turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired temperature. The burner should light

within 60 seconds..

Lighting Instructions for Electric Ignition Models

The oven burner is lighted by electric ignition (on some models).

To light the burner, turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired temperature. The burner should ignite within

30-90 seconds. 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.

Power Outage

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the electric ignition oven during an efectfical power failure..

The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas wilt 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.,

(continued next page)

• Proper flame configuration: While using the oven

burner, visually check the burner flame in the broiler compartment.. If flame does not burn as described in the Installation section of this manual, adjust the flame following the directions on those pages..

° Power failure: An electrical power failure will not affect

a lighted standing oven pilot.

OVEN TEMP Knob

The OVEN TEMP knob is located on the control panel on the front

of the range.. Simply turn the knob to the desired cooking

temperatures°

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 Light (on some models)

Use the switch on the control panel to turn the oven light on and off.

Oven Shelves

The shelves have

stop-locks so, when placed correctly on the shelf supports (A through E), 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 (stop- locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the

shelf in.

NOTE: The shelf is not

designed to slide out at the special tow (R) shelf position,

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for baking and

roasting as shown in this illustration--A (bottom), B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special tow shelf position

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

turkey--the shelf is not designed to slide out at this

position. The shelf positions for cooking are suggested in

the Baking and Roasting sections.,

Oven Vents

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the range. 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.

• Avoid touching the vent openings and nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation. They may

become hot,

Do not leave plastic or flammable items

on the cooktop--

they may melt or

ignite if left too close to the vent.

Handles of pots and Vent appearance and location vary 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 closed containers on the cooktop. The

pressure in closed containers may increase, which may

cause them to burst.

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..
