DRAWER (if equipped). Both surface burners and
oven heating elements may be hot even though they are
dark in color. 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, surfaces 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.
I
 WARNING
turn off the main gas shutoff valve.
• Use only dry potholders—Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers—Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the oven off. If the oven is not turns off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.
WARNING

! Electronic controllers can be damaged
connecting it to the power supply.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit. Always turn the knob to the LITE position when
igniting the burners. Visually check that burner has lit.
Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil.
• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the surface burner to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship
of utensil to the surface burner will also improve
efficiency.
• 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
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or short circuit.
• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for
rangetop use.
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to
the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and
cause combustion problems.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop—If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean cooktop glass with caution—If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
Important Safety Instructions
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door or warmer drawer
(if equipped)—Stand to the side of the range when
opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace food in the oven/
warmer drawer.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is
located at the rear of the cooktop. Touching the surfaces
in this area when the oven is operating may cause
severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive
items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt
or ignite.
ik WARNING NEVER cover any slots, holes or
passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air
flowthrough the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a
fire hazard.
• Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped)
racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. 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 potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and
be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.
Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are
flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the
hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in
this Use and Care Guide. Before self cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the
oven.
• 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.
• 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.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

Before Setting Surface 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. This standard burner is located at the left front position on
the cooktop.
The POWER burners are 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 (some models) and left rear positions on the cooktop.
The DUAL burner (some models) can be used as a standard
burner or a power burner depending on the setting you are using.
The DUAL burner is located at the right front 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.

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.
Figure 1

flame size
*Flame Size

Low Flame
*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 quickly and 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.
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Maintain aslowboil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

Setting Surface Controls
Setting the Dual Burner (SOME MODELS ONLY)
The Dual Burner has two rings of flame that you can control for two different
heat levels, one for small and one for large cookware.
Large Cookware Operation (Figure 1; Zone A & B)
1. Place a large cooking utensil centered over the surface Burner Grate.
2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF
position (See Figures 2 & 3).
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All electronic
surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the dual Burner
will ignite.
4. Visually check that zone A & B of dual burner are lit (Figure 4). Adjust the
flame size by turning the control knob between the HI and the 2nd dot
settings (Figure 3). 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).
Small Cookware Operation (Figure 1; Zone A)
1. Place a small cooking utensil centered over the dual surface Burner Grate.
2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF
position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (Figures 2 & 3).
Note: All electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However,
only the selected surface Burner will life.
4. Visually check that zone A & B of the dual burner has lit.
5. Continue to rotate the gas control knob counterclockwise past the 2nd dot
setting; zone B flames will extinguish.
6. Visually check that only zone A is lit.
7. Continue to turn the control knob counterclockwise to adjust to the desired
flame size for the zone A. Note: The markings between the 2nd dot and Lo
settings on the control knob adjust the flame size for the zone A (Refer to
Figure 2 or 3). DO NOT cook with any of the surface control knobs in the
LITE position (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left
in the LITE position).

Surface Cooking
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should
have flat bottoms that Q
make good contact / ' '
with the entire \
surface heating
element. 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.
Figure 1
CORRECT INCORRECT
• Curved and warped pan bottoms.
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.

Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may
be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware
requirements.
Pan overhangs burner grate by
more than 2.5 cm (1”).
Heavy handle tilts pan.
Flame extends beyond pan.
Using a wok (some models)
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in
most cookshop or hardware stores.
Round-bottomed 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.

Care & Seasoning of the Griddle (some models)
Before first use:
• Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.
• Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).
• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.
• Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.
• The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from the seasoning process. If
desired, wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.
After each use:
•To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.
• DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.
• Dry Immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before storing.
Using the Griddle:
• Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side gas burners or over the
Bridge Burner. For location refer to Figure 1.
• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat
ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.
• DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle
and prevent even heat distribution.
