important Safety instructions
DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface burners 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, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.
Wear proper appareIRLoose=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.
In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to 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 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 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 off the oven. If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven may 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 itdoes 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 inignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.
Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.
Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on,
and turn the burner off before removing the pan.
Always turn the 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.
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 to 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 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 rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop
use. Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The searing
grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.
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 ifthe 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.
important Safety instructions
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 center 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.
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
flow through 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 potholders 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 gasketiThe 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.
_The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self- cleaning cycle of the range. Move the birds to another
well ventilated room.

Control 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 (see Figure 4).
The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface cooking needs. The standard burner is located at the
left front position on the cooktop (see Figure 4).
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 and left rear burner positions on the cooktop (see Figure 4).
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.
Setting Surface 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.
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 (Figure 2). 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.
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling. Medium Flame Maintain a slow broil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Figure 1
Figure 2
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. Adjust or 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.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control
knob accordingly. Ifthe 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.

Surface Cooking
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should have flat bottoms that 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 instruc-
tions. Some utensils were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.

Figure 2
Using a wok
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in most cook shop or hardware stores. Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the burner unit) 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 unit. Because this ring traps heat, the surface unit and cooktop surface could be damaged.

Self-Cleaning
During the Self-Cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT
leave small children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some
birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Self-Cleaning Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (we[[ above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions: ,, DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around
any part of the Self-Cleaning oven.
,, DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven
door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.
,, DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.
Remove the broiler pan and insert, a[[ utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
,, Oven racks do not have to be removed, but remaining in the oven
during the Self-Clean will turn them slightly blue and dull their finish. If left in, after the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position). Remove any excessive spi[[overs inthe oven cavity before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
,, Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water. Do not hand clean door gasket.
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven bottom should be removed.

What to Expect during Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and con- traction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and
should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self- cleaning cycle.

Self-Cleaning (cont'd)
Self-Clean Time Length
For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils, and a 3 hour cycle for average, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils. NOTE: The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the Self-Clean cycle.

Dust particles in main line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns blue.
Salt air in coastal areas. A slightly orange flame is unavoidable.
Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipes'
recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see
"Adjusting your Oven Temperature" section in this Use and Care Guide.

OCCURRENCE POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Fan noise during cooking operation. A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. It is normal, and
the fan may continue to run after the range has been turned "OFF" but may also stop
immediately to turn "ON" after a while.
Flames inside oven or smoking from vent.
Oven smokes excessively during broiling.
Self=cleaning cycle does not work.
Soil not completely removed after self=
cleaning cycle.

amounts of grease on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting the self-clean cycle, if flames or excessive smoke are present, stop the self-clean cycle and follow the steps under "Stopping or Interrupting the Self=Cleaning
Cycle" inthis Use and Care Guide.
Meat is too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance
between the meat and the oven broil element.

edges to prevent the meat from curling, but do not cut into the lean of the meat.

use the Broiler Pan without the Broiler Pan Insert or cover the insert with foil.

basis.
