IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
FI,W'-1:t_II_[_II 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 ofthe 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.
• 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.
• Do net use Searing Grill on the coektep. The Searing Grill is
not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result ina
fire.
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
hotuse 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

1. Place all 4 Burner Heads in the correct locations (See Fig. 1).
Make sure that the correct Burner Head is placed with the
corresponding Orifice Holder and that the Electrode is located
properly in the slot of each Burner Head (See Fig. 2). Proper
Burner Head placement insures that each Burner will have the
correct spark required for surface gas ignition.
2. Place the correct Burner Caps at each of the burner locations (Burner
Cap Pilot Hole must face up). Each of the 4 (four) Burner Heads
MUST have a Burner Cap installed to insure proper ignition and gas
flame size and must be in place with the Pilot Hole facing up
BEFORE placing the Burner Grates (See Fig. 2).
3. Place the 2 (two) cast iron Burner Grates supplied with the range.
Carefully line-up the 2 Grate Pins on each Grate with the Cap Pilot
Holes in the 2 Burner Caps on each side of the range. DO NOT force
the Burner Grates onto the Burner Caps. Forcing the grates down
onto improperly installed Burner Heads and Burner Caps may damage
the gas burners. Each Burner Cap is designed with a Cap Pilot Hole
in the top center of the Cap. Visually check that ALL the Grate Pins
line up into the Burner Cap Pilot Holes (See Figure 2). Properly
installed Burner Grates wilt rest with all four Grate legs on the
glass .
REMEMBER -- DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS
OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER
OPENING. Always keep the Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place
whenever the surface burners are in use. If burner orifice becomes
blocked with food spillage, service would be required.

Surface Cooking
FEATURE OVERVIEW
Setting Proper Flame Size
Using the Wok Stand
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 ofcooking. The size
and type of utensil used and the amount offood being cooked will influence the
setting needed.
Co_e_
*Flame Size
High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
For deep fat frying - use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
Incorrect
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
wilt neither brown nor cook properly.
Never extend the flame beyond the
outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases the risk of being burned
by the gas flame.
*Note: Settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum
pans, 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.
Using the Wok Stand
The Wok Stand provided with your range is designed to allow round-bottomed
woks to be used. It is recommended that you use a 14 inch maximum
diameter (35.5 cm) Wok. The Wok Stand MUST be used on either the right or
left FRONT burner positions. Cooking with a Wok using the Wok Stand on the
rear burner positions may damage the control panel of the range. And it is
recommended that you use the right front POWER burner for best
performance. If properly positioned, the Wok Stand will not slide off the grate.
To Properly Position the Wok Stand:
With the grate in position over the burner, set the Wok Stand on top of the
grate positioningthe angled notch in the Wok Stand towards the rear of the
range (See Fig 1). Turn the Wok Stand, as shown, untilthe grate fingers fit into
the slots on the bottom of the stand (See Fig. 2).
Always use potholders to
remove the wok stand from the grate.
Allow the wok stand to cool before
removing. Do not set hot wok stand on
surfaces that cannot withstand high
heat; such as countertops.
Be sure the Wok Stand
is positioned correctly and stable before
use to prevent hot spills and possible
burns.

top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top ofthe rack and a casserole dish
underneath).
In the downward position to allow you to place lightweight food items and empty
dishware (for example, rollsor pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Operating the Warmer Drawer
The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold
food in the Warmer Drawer. All food placed in the Warmer Drawer should be
covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic
wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult
to clean. Use only utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the
Warmer Drawer.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from
the Warmer Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.
To Set the Warmer Drawer Control:
The control is used to select the temperature of the Warmer Drawer. It is
located on the control panel. To set the control, push in and turn the knob to
the desired setting. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by
HI (high), MED (medium) and LO (low).
1. Turn the knob to select the desired temperature setting.
2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer
will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.
3. When done, turn the control to OFF.
Temperature Selection
Recommended Warmer Drawer settings table is shown in Figure 3. 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 while in use.
Warmer Drawer Indicator Light
The Warmer Drawer indicator light is located above the Warmer Drawer control
knob (See Fig.2). It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the
control is turned off. The Warmer Drawer is inoperable during the Self-
Clean cycle.
