IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
• Placement of Oven Racks - Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven
in hot, use extreme caution and do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in
oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack
with both hands to reposition. Remove all
bakeware and utensils before moving the
rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease
could ignite.
• Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum
foil to line oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of
electric shock, or fire.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
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 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
heating unit. Place a pan of food on the
surface element unit before turning it on,
and turn the element off before removing
the pan.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.
• Use proper pan size — This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different sizes. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to element
will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface
elements — 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 units.
• Never leave surface elements 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.
• Improper cookware may break due to
sudden changes in temperature. Check
the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
• Do not use decorative surface burner
covers. If an element is accidentally
turned on, the decorative over will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched.
Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.
• 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.
Save these instructions for future reference.

Before Setting Surface Controls
Check Burner Cap Placement Before Operating
the Surface Burners
To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of
harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner
caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame
size.
It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and
burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations
before operating the cooktop burners.
Important notes:
• Always keep surface burner caps in place whenever using a
surface burner.
• When placing the burner caps, be sure that all burner caps
are seated firmly and rest level on top of burner heads.
• For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow
spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter
the gas orifice port opening.
On round style burners, the burner cap lip (See Figure 3) should
fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level.
Burner cap
Burner cap lip
Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the
burner cap from side to side to be sure it is centered and firmly
seated (See Figure 5). When the burner cap lip makes contact
inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the
burner cap click. Please note that the burner cap should not
move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to
side.
Check and be sure that all oval style (some models) burner caps
are correctly in place on oval burner heads.
Figure 5: Checking the fit
Installing Burner Grates
Surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The surface element may still
be hot and burns may occur if the surface element is touched
before it has cooled sufficiently.

Using Proper Cookware
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the range cooktop.
Important:
Do not place aluminum foil, or any material that can melt on the
range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the
cooktop.
For best cooking results, cookware should have flat bottoms
that rest level on the surface
burner grate. Before using
cookware, check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See
Figure 7).
Figure 7: Testing cookware
Important:
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of
food being cooked will influence the burner flame setting
needed for best cooking results.
Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat
is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The
most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will
cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining
and pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See
Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is
durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very
well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary
depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.
Setting Proper Burner Flame Size
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge
of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and
increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
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. Adjust or
clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
Figure 8: Correct and incorrect flame settings
For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a
lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations
in Table 1 as a guide for determining proper flame size for
various types of cooking.)
For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the surface
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 under cooked. Do not attempt to
deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither
brown or cook properly.
Table 1: Flame size recommendations
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
*These settings are based for medium-weight metal or
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using
cookware made from different materials.
10
Home Canning
Canning can generate large amounts of steam.
Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to
vent steam away from you. 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.
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Web site and be sure to read
all the information they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning.
Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is
recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric
coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on
the burner grates.
Before Setting Surface Controls
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check
with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service
or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat
for an extended amount of time.
• Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the
units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid
canning on the same burner unit all day.
11
Setting Surface Controls
Setting Surface Burners
Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized
surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger
volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to
select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food
being prepared.
The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best suited for
simmering delicate sauces, etc.
The standard size burners may be used for most surface cooking
needs. Some models are equipped with a center burner.
The larger POWER burners (on some models) or TURBO BOIL
burner (on some models) are recommended for bringing large
quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger
quantities of food.
To set surface burners:
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the range cooktop.
Do not place aluminum foil, or any material
that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may
permanently damage the cooktop surface.
When operating the oven, it is possible for
residual heat from the oven to build-up and over time to eventually transfer to the surface control knobs located directly above
the oven door.
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be
sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate.
2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counter-
clockwise out of the OFF position (See Figure 9).
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE
position. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in and
turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the
control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.
Figure 9: Surface control knob
Important notes:
• Do not cook with the surface control knob left in the LITE
position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the
control knob setting remains in the LITE position.
• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position,
all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time.
However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different
surface cooking areas at the same time. This can cause
uneven heating results.
• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting
surface burners 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.
• The cooktop should not be used during a self-clean cycle.
On some models, turning on any cooktop surface burner will
cause the clean cycle to cancel. If the clean cycle is
canceled, the oven control display will show “SPr" for 5
seconds. The oven door will remain locked until the oven
has cooled down below cleaning temperature. If the oven is
below cleaning temperature, the user can start another
clean cycle immediately. If the oven is in cleaning temperature range, another self-clean cycle can be set once the
door unlocks (up to 4 hours).
