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. Airwill 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
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/ warmerdrawer.
• 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.
Important Safety Instructions
• 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 underthe 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
fora 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.

Assembly of the Surface Burner Heads, Burner Caps and Burner Grates
It is very important to make sure that all of the Surface Burner Heads, Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates
are installed correctly and at the correct locations.
1. Be sure to follow the Installation Instructions before
installing and using your new range.
2. Remove all packing tape from cooktop. Remove Burner
Caps and Burner Heads (See Figure 1).
3. Discard all packing material located under all Burner
Heads (if applicable).
4. To replace Burner Heads & Caps, match the letters
located under center of Burner Caps with the letters
located inside Burner Head (only positions A & F are
marked with letters - See Figure 2). Place all Burner
Heads & Caps on the cooktop (See Figure 1) while
carefully aligning the Electrodes into slots or holes of the
Burner Heads (Figure 4). Note: The Burner Heads should
sit flat on Cooktop Burner Skirts.
5. Replace Bridge Burner Caps. These include one Bridge
Burner Center Cap (rectangular shaped) and the two
Bridge Burner End Caps (The Bridge Burner End Caps
will fit either the front or rear Bridge Burner Head loca
tions). Make sure that the tabs located under the Bridge
Burner Caps fall into the slots located in the Bridge
Burner Head (See arrows in Figure 3) and that all the
Bridge Burner Caps lie flat and evenly on the Bridge
Burner Head.
6. Unpack Burner Grates. NOTE: Do not force End Burner
Grates down on cooktop. Be careful to line up the 2 Grate
Pins located on each of the 2 End Burner Grates into the
Pilot holes located on top of the Burner Caps (See Figure
5). Position Burner Grates on cooktop and check that all
the Burner Grate legs lie on the glass surface.
7. Place Center Burner Grate between the end Burner
Grates.
REMEMBER — DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD,
CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO
ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING. Always
keep the Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place whenever
the surface burners are in use.
Figure 5
Locations of the Gas Surface Burners (See Figure 6)

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.

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.
Figure 1
Proper
flame size
*F!ame Size
High Flame
Medium Flame
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 yelloworange.
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 a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Keep foods cooking: poach: stewing.

3. Visually check that the left rear Burner has lit.
4. Continue to rotate the gas control knob counterclockwise past the first LO
setting to the arrow marked BRIDGE.
5. Visually check that both the left rear and left center Burners are lit.
6. When both burners are lit, continue to turn the control knob
counterclockwise to adjust to the desired flame size for both burners
together. Note: The markings between the 2nd HI and LO settings on the left
rear control knob adjust the flame size for both burners. Use the guide marks
between the 2nd HI and LO settings and adjust the flame size as needed
(Refer to Figure 3).
7. Add the left front Burner if needed. Once lit, visually adjust the flame size of
the left front Burner to match the flame size of the Bridge Burner.
8. Place cooking utensil centered over the left-hand cooktop surface Burner
Grate. 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).
Note: If only the left rear surface Burner is needed, follow the instructions
provided below.

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.

purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Some utensils were not made to be used in
the oven oron the cooktop.
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.
Figure 2
Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be
used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.
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.

Surface Cooking
Care & Seasoning of the Griddle
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 remov
ing.
• 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.

1 Oven Rack
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware
do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven
cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in
the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
