They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
• 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 flames 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 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

relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.
• Know which knob controis 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—Boilovers 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

Setting Surface Controls
^CAUTION
items such as salt and peppershakers,
spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on top of the range when it is in use.
Do not place plastic
These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wood spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
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 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 (if equipped) is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
The standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.
The Power burners (if equipped) 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 offood being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan.
Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
operating the Gas 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. Note: All four electronic
surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burneryou are
turning on will ignite.
3.
Visually check that the burner has lit.
4.
Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame
size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the
guides and 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.)
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 flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of
utensil used and the amount offood being cooked will influence the setting needed
for cooking.
*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.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer
edge of the 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 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.
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.
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 VENT.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS 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.
Arranging Oven Racks with 6 Rack Positions
To bake on a single rack, place the rack on position 3 or 4.
To bake on 2 racks, place the racks on positions 3 and 5.
