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

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
WARNING
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 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 BeTurned 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
' Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or fire.
' Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed 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 YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer 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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area
underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to
accumulate. Refer to the 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.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this
Use & Care Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner or
oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
• Do Not Clean Door Gasket—The door gasket is essential for
a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.

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
The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will
influence the setting needed for cooking.
Flame Size Type ofCooking
High Flame ( Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Medium Flame ' Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Low Flame j Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
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.

Double Burner (some models);
The versatile Double ring burner offers a complete range of gas surface settings from the same burner location. At the
lowest setting, only the inner ring is active, providing a low flame for any simmering needs. If needed however, one
additional gas ring may be added quickly to provide a total output of 18,000 BTU. When set at the highest, the double
burner may be used to bring a large pan of liquid to boil quickly.
Operating the Double Ring Burner;
1. Push right front surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position -Fig. 1.
2. Release the knob and rotate to the lite position. Note: Although all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time,
only the selected surface burner will lite.
3. Visually check that both the inner and outer rings are lit -Fig. 4.
When both burners are lit, continue to turn the control knob counterclockwise to adjust to the desired flame size.
4. If only the inner burner is needed, continue to rotate the gas control knob counterclockwise somewhere past grey area -
Fig. 3.
5. Adjust the inner flame to desired size -Fig. 5.

Care & Seasoning of the Griddle (Optional accessory)
Before first use:
• Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.
• Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).
• Preheat your oven to 350°F . Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.
• Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.
• The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from the seasoning process. If
desired, wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.
After each use:
• To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.
• DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.
• Dry Immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before storing.
Using the Griddle:
• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow
preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.
• DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle
and prevent even heat distribution.

Arranging Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Drawer Rack Positions
The rack can be used in two ways:
• In the upward position (Fig. 2) to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for
example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath).
• In the downward position (Fig. 3) to allow you to place light weight food items and empty dishware (for example, rolls
or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Warmer Drawer Food
Temperature Settings
Use the recommended Warmer Drawer
food temperature settings table (See Fig.
6). If a particular food is not listed, start
with the MED setting. If more crispness is
desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil
from the food.
Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures on the MED setting. When a
combination of foods are to be kept warm
(for instance, a meat with 2 vegetables and
rolls), use the HI setting. To avoid heat
loss, do not open the Warmer Drawer
repeatedly while in use.

Warmer Drawer Removal
• Preparing Bread Dough for the Warmer Drawer
• Removing & Replacing Warmer Drawer
Preparing Bread Dough for the Warmer Drawer
The Warmer Drawer has a “Proof Bread” feature that can be used to help
prepare bread dough. The recommended length of time to keep the bread
dough in the Warmer Drawer is about 45-60 minutes. Be sure however to
follow the recipe’s recommended times.
The prepared bread dough should be placed in a large bowl because the
dough will nearly double in volume. Arrange the Warmer Drawer Rack in
the downward position (See Fig. 1). Place the bowl on the rack in the
Warmer Drawer and follow the Warmer Drawer and Bread Proof Control
setting instructions at the top of this page.
