important Safety instructions
De Not Leave Children Alone--Children should not be left
alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE BURNERS,AREAS NEARTHESE
BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OFTHE
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 window.
Wear Proper Apparel--Loose=fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance, Do not let
clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother the
fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
,, When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease
may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholders touch hot heating burners. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
,, Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

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.
,,Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance
has not been used for an extended period of time, be certain
the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at
least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
Use Proper Flame Size--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--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.
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.

Setting Surface Controls
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 (some models) is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. The standard burners can be used for
most surface cooking needs. The POWER burner or burners (some models) are best used for bringing large quantities of
liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.
The BRIDGE Burner is best suited when using rectangular or long shaped cookware. The center rear and center middle
burners are combined. The center FRONT burner may also be added for a total of 3 burners.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that issuitable 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.
Operating single Gas Surface Burners:
1. If the Cooktop Lockout indicator light is ON, unlock the cooktop (some
models). If your model does not have this feature or if the cooktop is
unlocked proceed to step 2.
2. Place cooking utensil on gas surface burner.
3. Push the surface control knob in & turn counterclockwise out of the OFF i
position.
4. Release the knob & rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four electronic
surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you ::
are turning on will ignite.
5. Visually check that the burner has lit.
6. Push the control knob in & turn counterclockwise to the desired flame
size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use
the guides &adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface
control knob inthe LITE position (The electronic ignitor will continue to
spark ifthe knob is left in the LITE position).
Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
Formost cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a
lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a
CORRECT
iNCORRECT
Never extend the flame beyond the
outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame 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 isclear, 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

Low Flame
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.
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies;
Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
