Important Safety Instructions
•Storage on Appliance. Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface burners. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance.
•Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
•DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR
THESE BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface and oven burners may be hot even though flames are not visible. Areas near surface burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surface facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.
•Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
•Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
•When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
•Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholders touch hot heating burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
•Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

importanT—Do not attempt to operate the appliance during a power failure. If power fails, always turn off the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off and the power resumes, it will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
Use Proper Flame Size. Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.
•Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and then turn the burner off before removing the pan.
•Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
•Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface burners. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners
•Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accumulations that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
•Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
•Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
•Use Care When Opening an Oven Door—Stand to the side of the appliance when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.
•Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The upper oven is vented at the back of the cooktop and the lower oven at the center trim. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
•Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot holders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let pot holders contact the hot oven burner or interior of the oven.
•Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
•Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

Before Setting Surface Burner Controls
Locations of the Gas Surface Burners
Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.
The small simmer burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear burner position on the cooktop.
The standard burner can be used for most surface cooking needs. The standard burner is located at the left front position on the cooktop.
The power burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The POWER burners are located at the right front and left rear burner positions on the cooktop.
The OVAL burner is best suited when using rectangular or long shaped cookware. The OVAL burner is located at center positions on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Assembly of the surface burner caps and burner grates
It is very important to make sure that all of the Surface
Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations.
1.Remove all packing material from cooktop area.
2.Discard all packing material (if applicable).
3.Position the burner caps in the correct position.
4.Unpack Burner Grates and position on the cooktop.
Note: Burner heads are fixed. Do not try to remove them.
REMEMBER — DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS OPENING. Always keep the Burner Caps in place whenever the surface burners are in use.

Setting Surface Burner Controls
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
Manual Lighting
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights push in and turn knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Operating the Gas Surface Controls:
1.Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2.Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (See Figure 1).
3.Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position.
Note: All four electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.
4.Visually check that the burner has a flame.
5.Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings to adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob in the LITE position (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position).
Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
*Flame Size |
Type of Cooking |
High Flame |
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling. |
Medium Flame |
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming. |
|
|
Low Flame |
Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing. |
*These settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Figure 2).
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
Figure 2

Surface Cooking
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should have flat bottoms that
make good contact with the entire surface
heating burner.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the
cookware (See Figure 1). Be sure to follow the recommendations for using cookware as shown in Figure 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Some utensils were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.
CORRECT
•Flat bottom and straight sides.
•Tight fitting lids.
•Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.
•Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared.
•Made of material that conducts heat well.
•Easy to clean.
INCORRECT
•Curved and warped pan bottoms.
•Pan overhangs burner grate by more than 2.5 cm (1”).
•Heavy handle tilts pan.
•Flame extends beyond pan.
Figure 2
*Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.
Using a wok
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are available in most cookshop
or hardware stores. Roundbottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the burner circumference) may also be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact with the grates.
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner circumference. Because this ring traps heat, the surface unit and cooktop surface could be damaged.
