IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

A WARNING

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 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—Boiiovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it

• 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 YOUROVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven DoororWarmer Drawer—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.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located
below the backguard. 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.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks In desired
location while oven 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. 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 broilerinsertwith aluminum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.

• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has
not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit

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 allowflames

to extend beyond the outer edge ofthe pan.

Each burner lights automatically from either an electric ignitor or standing pilot,

depending on your model. Standing pilots must be lit initially. Refer to your

installation instruction book for directions on lighting the standing pilot. Standing
pilots will remain lit when the burners are turned off. Models with electric ignitors
light automatically each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.

Operating the Surface Burners

1.

Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

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. If your range is equipped with
electronic ignitors, all four ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only
the burner you are turning on will ignite.

3.

Visually check that the burner has lit.

4.

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

CORRECT

INCORRECT

Never extend theflame beyond theouter

edge ofthe utensil. A higherflame simply
wastes heat and energy, and increases
your risk of being burned by the 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 theflame is the key to proper burner adjustment. Agood flame is clear, blueand 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.

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 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.

*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.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located below the backguard. When the oven is on, warm air is
released through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the
oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK THE OVEN VENT.

General Cleaning

Remove soiis using hot, soapy water. Do not ailow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the
surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

To Remove Heavy Soil

1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the
oven door closed. Clean softened dirt spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with
water and a clean cloth.

2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If
necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT mix
ammonia with other cleaners.

3. 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. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse

it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located in the rear of the oven.)
Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
bulb. A change in its position could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb
and capillary tube.

problems are provided with the problem listed:

Range is not level - (1) Poor installation. Place oven rack In
center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling
legs at base of range until the oven rack is level. (2) Be sure
floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support
range. (3) If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to
correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make
range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have
sufficient room for range clearance.

for service - (1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly.

Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2)
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range
can be lifted over carpet. (3) Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a
flexible
connector installed.
