is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the ovens off. If the ovens are not turns off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.
 WARNING Use proper pan size—Adjust flame size
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
The use of undersize utensils will exposed 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.
Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on
a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion
and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous
to your health.
 CAUTION

period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to
a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours
before connecting it to the power supply.
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 units of different sizes. Select
utensils having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of the surface heating to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface unit 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 units 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 the burners because the covers may
cause overheating. Air will 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
Important Safety Instructions
produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop giass with sharp
objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening 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 ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its
own vent iocated on the top, near each side and towards
the back 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 an oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.
• Piacement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while ovens are cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
pothoiders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let pothoiders contact the hot heating
elements in the ovens. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its grid. The
broiler pan and its grid allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid 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.

Cookware Material types
The cookware material determines how eveniy and quickly heat is transferred from fhe surface elemenf 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 & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which
will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
COPPER ' Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum
above).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON ' A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Surface Cooking
Specialty Pans & Trivets
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metai ring that extends
beyond the burner unit. Because
this ring traps heat, the cooktop
surface couid be damaged.
Canning Tips & Information
À CAUTION Canning can generate
large amounts of steam. Use extreme
caution to prevent burns. Always raise
the lid to vent steam away from you.
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your
cooktop are available in most cookshop or hardware
stores. Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring
that does not extend beyond the burner unit) 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)
A CAUTION DO NOT use two burner units to heat
one large pan such as a roaster or griddle, or allow
cooking utensils to boil dry. The bottom surface of the
pan in either of these situations couid cause discolor
ing or cracking of the appliance cooking surface, and
damage to the grates and burner units.
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware
bottoms must be in direct contact with the surface
elements.
1. Use tested recipes and follow Instructions carefully. Check with the
manufacturer of glass jars for the iatest canning Information.
2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the
bottom surface is flat.
3. Center canner on the burner grate.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to
bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to
maintain a constant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
A CAUTION
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one
inch beyond the edge of the burner grate.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
3. 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.
A CAUTION

Using the Wok Stand
A CAUTION I Aiways use potholders to remove the wok stand from the grate.
Alfow the wok stand to coo! before removing. Do not set hot wok stand on
surfaces that cannot withstand high heat such as countertops.
The Wok Stand provided with your range is designed to allow
only round-bottomed woks up to 14 inches in diameter {35.5 cm).
The Wok Stand must be used on either of the front burners, although it is
recommended that you use the larger burner for best performance. Because the
rim of the Wok Stand extends beyond the edge of the grate, DO NOT use the
rear burner next to Wok stand when it is positioned over front burner. Spills or
flame-ups may occur that may result in personal injury or cooktop damage.
If properly positioned, the Wok Stand cannot slide off the grate.
To properly position the Wok Stand
With the grate in position over the burner, set the Wok Stand on top of the grate.
Turn the Wok Stand, as shown, until the grate fingers fit into the slots on the
bottom of the stand.
A CAUTION Be sure the grate stand is positioned correctly and stably before
use to prevent hot spills and possible burns.
Round-bottomed woks {with a support ring that does not extend beyond
the burner unit} may also be used without the Wok Stand. The metal ring was
designed to support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids
(soup making) or fat (frying).
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the

Before Setting Surface Controls
Locations of the Gas Surface Burners
The STANDARD sized burners are used for most
surface cooking needs. These burners are located at the
left and right rear positions on the cooktop.
The SIMMER burner is used to simmering delicate
aliments as chocolate, sauces, etc. This burner is
located at the center rear position on the cooktop
The POWER burners are best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when
preparing larger quantities of food. These burners are
located at the left and right front positions on the
cooktop.
Placement of Burner Bases and Caps
Place the burner base over each gas
orifice, matching the burner base size with
the gas orifice size. Place the burner cap
on each burner base, again matching the
cap size to the burner base size. The cap
for each Burner has a inner locating ring
which locates the burner cap in the center
of the burner.

Setting Surface Controls
A CAUTION 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
couid melt or ignite. Pothoiders, toweis or
wood spoons could catch fire if placed too
close to a fiame.
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 rapidly turn the
surface control knob to Med. After burner
lights turn knob to desired setting. Use
caution when lighting surface burners
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 five
electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only
the burner you are turning on wiii 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 wiii 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 fiame size for various types of cooking. The
size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked wiii
influence the setting needed for cooking.
Figure 1
J Proper
flame size
*Flame 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
yellow-orange.
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 wiii 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.

Before Setting the Oven Controls
Oven Vent(s) and Racks
Oven Vent Locations
Each oven has its own vent located on the top,
near each side and towards the back of the
cooktop. When an oven is on, warm air is
released through the vent; this ventilation is
necessary for proper air circuiation in the oven
and good baking results.
Oven Vent Locations,

Arranging Oven Racks
The smaller oven has one oven rack and the iarger oven has
three oven racks. ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE
OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Aiways
use oven mitts when using the oven.
To remove an oven rack, puil the rack forward until it stops. Lift
up front of rack and siide out. To replace an oven rack, fit the
rack onto the guides on the oven walis. Tilt the front of the rack
upward and slide the rack back into place.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circuiation 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.
