Important Safety Instructions
Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate
by blowing a downward air ow on to a range, shall not
be used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the
hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by
an independent test laboratory for use in combination with

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.
NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
CARBON MONOXIDE poisoning.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air ow
through the oven and may cause CARBON MONOXIDE
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a
re hazard.
Do not store items of interest to children
in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of the
range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could
be seriously injured.
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, including the
storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, warmer drawer or
lower double oven.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS,
AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface and
oven burners may be hot even though ames 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 ammable materials touch these areas
until they have had sucient 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 proper apparel — loose-tting or
hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other ammable materials
contact hot surfaces or open ames.
Do not use water or our on grease res —
smother the re with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or
drawers of a range can result in serious injuries and also
cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT allow children
to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on
an open oven door may cause the range to tip, resulting in
serious burns or other injury.
Storage in or on appliance — ammable
materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface
units or in the storage drawer, warmer drawer or lower
oven. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as
cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as ammable
liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or
near the range.
When heating fat or grease, watch it
closely. Fat or grease may catch re if allowed to become
too hot.
Use dry potholders — moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.

Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust ame
size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
burner ame to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to ame will also
improve eciency.
• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a
pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn
the burner o 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 ame 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 ammable 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.
• Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Protective Liners — DO NOT use aluminum
foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock, or re.
• Use care when opening oven door , warmer drawer or
lower oven door — 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.
• When aming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the
fan on.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located below the control panel (Refer to
Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through this
vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in
the oven and good baking results. Do not block the oven
vent.

Removing, replacing and arranging racks
Always use oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking using the oven, the oven interior, oven
racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.
Arranging - always arrange
the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the
oven).
To remove - pull the rack
forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out.
Types of oven racks
at handle
oven rack
at
oven rack
oset
oven rack
The at oven rack or at handle oven rack (on some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The oset oven rack (on some models) will place the base
of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than a at
oven rack. This feature provides several additional possible
oven rack positions.
Air circulation in the oven
For best 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. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
To replace - t the rack onto
the guides on the oven walls.
Tilt the front of the rack
upward and slide the rack
back into place.
Recommended oven rack positions by food type:
