IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable materials should

not be stored in an oven, near surface burners or in the drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic and cloth

items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not storeexplosives,suchasaerosol cans, on or nearthe appliance. Flammablematerials mayexplodeand result in fire or property damage

• Do not leave children alone--Children should not be

left alone or unattended in the area where appliance

is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• DO NOTTOUCH SURFACEBURNERS,AREAS NEAR

THESE BURNERS,OVEN HEATING ELEMENTSOR

INTERIOR SURFACESOFTHE OVEN OR WARMER 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.

Use proper pan size--Adjust flame size

so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

The useof 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.

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.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by

cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before 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 LITEposition 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.

• 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 potholdersiMoist 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.

IMPORTANTiDo not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven isnot turned off and the power

resumes, the oven may begin to operate again (Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.)

Use proper pan size. This appliance isequipped with one

or more surface burners of different sizes. Selectutensils

having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. The useof 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.

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 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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 isaccidentally turned on, the decorative cover will

become hot and possibly melt. Burnswill 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_lf 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 isused to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be 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 isoperating 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.

• 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 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.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware

that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite

causing damage and injury

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

• In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in _s_

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.

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.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils Forbestresultandenergyconservation,choosecookingutensils

that have these characteristics:

Pansshould have flat bottoms. Check for

flatness by rotating a ruler across the

bottom. There should be no gap between

the pan and rulen

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.

Do not usegriddle over

more than one burner because it could

damage your cooktop. It can also result in exposure to carbon monoxide levelsabove

allowable current standards and be

hazardousto your health.

*GOOD

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

• Pan sizesmatch the amount of food to be prepared.

• Made of a material that conducts heat well.

• Easyto clean.

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be

used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.

POOR

• Curved and wraped pan bottoms.

• Panoverhangs unit by more than one inch or 2.5 cm.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Flameextends beyond pan.

Specialty Pans & Trivets

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 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 usewire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact with the grates.

DO NOT use two burner units to heat one large pan such as a

roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils to boil dry. The bottom surface of the pan in either of these situations could cause discoloring or crazing of the appliance cooking surface, and damage to the grates and burner units.

DO NOT usea 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.

1. Usetested recipesand follow instructions carefully. Check with the manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.

2. Usefiat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.

3. Center canner on the burner grate.

4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to maintain a constant boil.

5. It isbest to can small amounts and light loads.

Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:

1. Do not use water bath or pressure cannersthat extend more than one inch beyond the edqe of the burner qrate.

2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.

3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Tryto avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.

Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars

are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be

maintained continuously for the required time.

Flame Size

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the chart 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.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat istoo 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 asthe food will neither brown nor cook properly.

*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; steam Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings

may vary when using other types of pans.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increasesyour risk of being burned by the flame.

Proper Burner Adjustments

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame isclear, blue and

hardly visible in a weIMighted room. Eachcone of flame should be steady and sharply defined.

Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. In coastal areas, a slightly orange flame is

unvoidable due to salt air. To adjust the flame see the Installation Instructions and to clean burner, see instructions under General Cleaning.

Surface Cooking

FEATURE OVERVIEW

• Placement of Burner Grates

• Setting Surface Controls

Placement of Burner Grates

Place grate over burner pans. Make sure that the groove under grate fits over the raised lip of the burner pan. The rounded corners of the grates should be placed toward the front of the

cooktop for the front burners and the rear of the cooktop for the back burners.

NOTE: White glass surface

can appear green when it is

hot, which is normal, and it will come back to white when it cools down.

Setting Surface Controls

Your cooktop may be equipped with any combination of the following burners: Simmer Burner; this burner isbest used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

Standard Burner; can be used for most all surface cooking needs. Large Burner; the larger burner isbest usedwhen bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature

and when preparing larger quantities of food.

Regardlessof size, always select a utensil that issuitable 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.

Your cooktop isalso equipped with 270° rotation valves.These valves provide enhanced control of the burner flame. Eachburner lights automatically from an electric ignitor when its control knob is

turned to the LITEposition.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders

or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These itemscould melt or ignite.

Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too closeto a flame.

To operate the surface burner:

1. Place cooking utensil on burner.

2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to I.ITE Note: All electronic ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.

3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
