J

important Safety instructions

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 cook top,
surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings and
surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

• Wear ProperAppareI--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.

• 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 atowel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup of

the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR COOKTO P

Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size

so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use
of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burnerflame
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 itdoes 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 offlammable materials, and spillage due
to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the
utensil should be positioned so that it isturned 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 surface

burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installationofthese liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or otherglazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to
sudden change in temperatures. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cooktop use.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOU ROVEN

• Use CareWhen Opening Oven Door orWarmer 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 broiler insert with 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 has been in temperatures above 32°F(0°C) for atleast
3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR

grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the

area underneath each surface element. Do not allowgrease
toaccumulate. Refer tothe range 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.

Before Setting Oven Controls

OVEN VENT

Fig. 1

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent islocated below the backguard (See Fig. 1). When the oven
ison, 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
VENT.

Arranging Oven Racks

AL WA YS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

Removing & Replacing Oven Racks

To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and
slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt
the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Types of Oven Racks

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack
types shown; Flat Rack, or Handle Rack.

Ov

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on oven rack positions 1 & 4 (Refer to Figs. 2 & 3).
When using a single oven rack, place cookware on oven rack position 2or 3 (Refer to Figs. 2 & 4).

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking
results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookware for proper aircirculation
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 be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for

even heat to reach around the food.

Setting Surface Controls

Your range may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to
heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.

The SIMMER burner (some models) is best used for simmering delicate sauces,
etc. The standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs. The
POWER burner or burners (some models) are best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Select aburner and flame size appropriate to the pan.
Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Fig. 3 Fig. 4

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.

Setting Surface Controls

Operating the Gas Surface Burners:

1. If the Cooktop Lockout indicator light is ON, unlock the cooktop (some models). If your
model does not have this feature or if the cooktop is unlocked proceed to step 2.

2. Place cooking utensil on gas surface burner.

3. Push the surface control knob in & turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position.

4. Release the knob & 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.

5. Visually check that the burner has lit.

6. Push the control knob in & turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control
knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the guides & 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).

NOTE: 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.

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

CORRECT

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.

*Flame Size

iNCORRECT

High Flame
Medium Flame

Low Flame

Never extend the flame beyond the outer I
edge ofthe utensil. A higher flame simply I

wastes heat and energy, and increases
your r sk of be ng burned by the f ame.

*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 & nearly invisible in a well-lighted

room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer & 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 or cook properly.

Type of Cooking
Start most foods, bring water to a boil or pan broiling.
Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces, gravies or steaming.
Keep foods cooking, poach or stewing.

To Set the Cooktop Lockout Feature (some models)

The _ pad is used to activate the Cooktop Lockout
feature which will lock all gas surface burners from being

To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature OFF:

1. BE SUREALL GAS SURFACE BURNER CONTROLS

ARE SET TO THE OFF POSITION.

2. Press & hold _V until one beep is heard (after 3
seconds). The Cooktop Locked indicator light will turn OFF
