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-

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

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
![](/html/14/1421/14218f038b40c13c8e0c7dc77eb43aafd62880263e80083ff5aa9c65fe8f36d9/bg9.png)
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.

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

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.
Home canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This
will cause uneven heating results.
