Important Safety Instructions

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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOl(TOP

Use Proper Flame Size m 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 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 m 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.

• 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.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the

fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF- CLEANING OVENS

Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven vent location

The oven vent is centered just below the control panel as shown in 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 oven vent.

oven vent

Fig. 1

Removing, replacing and arranging oven racks

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when

using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and

exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

Protective Liners m 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 fire.

Types of oven racks

flat oven rack

flat handle oven rack

offset oven rack

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.

To replace - fit oven rack onto the rack guides on both

sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward

and slide the rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are

level before using.

Recommended oven rack positions by food type (Refer to Fig. 2)

Food type Position

The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs.

The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than flat oven racks. This design provides several additional possible positions between the flat 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 cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food (See Fig. 3 ).

Fig. 3

Before Setting Surface Controls

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

(Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

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.

Correct

flame setting

incorrect

flame setting

Please note: 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 most popular materials for cookware available are:

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food

will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting).

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.

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.

For most cooking; start on the highest setting and then turn

to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)

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.

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

_These settings are based for medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using

cookware made from different materials.

Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

Fig. 2

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.

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.

The smaller cooktop SIMMER burner (right rear cooktop position) is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard size cooktop burners may be used for most surface cooking needs. Some models are equipped with an oblong shaped CENTER burner. This burner is rated 10,000 BTU and will heat like any other standard sized burner.

The larger cooktop POWER burner (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:

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 counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).

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.

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.

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.

Fig. 1

Setting Surface Controls

Setting Double Ring Burner (some models)

The versatile Double Ring surface burner offers a complete

range of gas surface settings from the same burner position.

At the lowest setting, only the burner's inner ring is active, providing a smaller flame that is perfect for simmering. If needed, the burner's outer ring may be added and when

set for HI will provide a gas flame that may be used to bring a large pan of liquid to boil quickly.

I_ 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.

I_ 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.

Operating the Double Ring Burner:

1. Push right front surface burner control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position -Fig. 1.

2. Release the knob and rotate to the Lite position.

3. Visually check that both inner and outer rings for the

Double Ring burner are lit (See Fig. 3). Once lit, push in the control knob and to turn

counterclockwise out of the Lite position and adjust to the desired flame size.

4. When adjusting for a low or simmer type flame setting, continue to rotate the control knob counterclockwise

from MED setting towards LO (See Fig 2). Between the MED and LO setting the flame for the outer ring portion of the burner will turn off leaving only the inner burner

with a flame for simmering (See Fig. 4). Make any further flame adjustments as needed.

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.
