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 then 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

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

* Never leave surface burners unattended at

high heat settingsmBoilovers cause smoking

and greasy accumulations that may ignite, or
a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

" Protective linersmDo 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 the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cooktop use.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

* Use Care When Opening an Oven Door--Stand

to the side of the appliance 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 upper

oven is vented at the back of the cooktop and
the lower oven at the center trim. Touching the

surfaces in this area when the oven is operating

may cause severe burns. Also, do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items 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. Remove all utensils from the rack before

removing rack. If rack must be moved while

oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot

holders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let pot holders contact the

hot oven burner or interior of the oven.

* Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a

damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to

break. Disconnect the appliance or shut off the
power to the appliance before removing and

replacing the bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

* Clean the appliance regularly to keep all

parts free of grease that could catch fire.

Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters

should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could

catch fire. Refer to the hood 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.

* Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts

of the appliance listed in this Use & Care
Guide. Before using the self-cleaning cycle of
the appliance, remove the broiler pan and any

utensils stored in the appliance.

* Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

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

appliance

The health of some birds is extremely

sensitive to the fumes given off: during the self-
dean cycle of any oven. Move birds to another
well ventilated room.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert.
The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to

drain and be kept away from the high heat of
the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom
with aluminum foiL Exposed fat and grease

could ignite.

Before Setting Surface Burner Controls

Locations of the Gas Surface Burners

Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with
different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in

larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.
The small SIMMER burner is best used for simmering

delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear
burner position on the cooktop.

The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface
cooking needs. The standard burners are located at the left

front and center positions on the cooktop.
The POWER burner is best used for bringing large quantities

of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger
quantities of food. The POWER burners are located at the

right front and left rear burner positions on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, 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.

Burner Cap

Fixed Burner Head

Gas Opening

Assembly of the surface burner caps and

burner grates

It is very important to make sure that all of the Surface

Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates are installed
correctly and at the correct locations.

1. Remove all packing material from cooktop area.

2. Discard all packing material (if applicable).

3. Position the burner caps in the correct position.

4. Unpack Burner Grates and position on the cooktop.

Note: Burner heads are fixed. Do not try to remove them.

REMEMBER m DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING
AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS

OPENING. Always keep the Burner Caps in place whenever
the surface burners are in use.

Seffing Surface Burner Controls

Do not place plastic items

such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon

holders or plastic wrappings on fop of
the range when if is in use. These items

could melt or ignite. Pofholders, towels or
wood spoons could catch fire if placed

too close to a flame.

Manual Lighting

In the event of an electrical power outage,
the surface burners can be lit manually.
To light a surface burner, hold a lit match
to the burner head, then slowly turn the

surface control knob to UTE. After burner
lights push in and turn knob to desired

setting. Use caution when lighting surface
burners manually.

Operating the Gas Surface Controls:

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of the
OFF position (See Figure 1).

3. Release the knob and 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.

4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.

5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The
control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob
indicator settings to adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cool< 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).

Seffing 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 of cooking. The size and type

of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting

needed for cooking.

OFF _ HI o MED o LO

Figure 1

Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces_ gravies; steaming.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

*These setflngs are based on using medlum=welghf metal or aluminum
pans wlfh llds. Sefflngs 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. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

Regardless of size, 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.

flame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned by

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 cool< properly.

Figure 2

Surface Cooking

Use Proper Cookware

Cookware should
have flat bottoms that

make good contact
with the entire surface

heating burner.
Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across

the bottom of the Figure 1
cookware (See Figure 1). Be sure to follow

the recommendations for using cookware as
shown in Figure 2.

Note: The size and type of cookware used
will influence the setting needed for best
cooking results.

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Some utensils were not made to be used in the
oven or on the cooktop.

CORRECT

* Flat bottom and straight sides.
° Tight fitting lids.
° Weight of handle does not flit

pan. Pan is well balanced.

° Pan sizes match the amount of

food to be prepared.

° Made of material that con-

ducts heat well.

Easy to clean.

Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers
may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware

requirements.

INCORRECT

° Curved and warped pan bottoms.

IL......

° Pan overhangs burner grate by

more than 2.5 cm (1").

° Heavy handle tilts pan.

° Flame extends beyond pan.

Figure 2

Using a wok

Woks with flat bottoms suit-

able for use on your cooktop are
available in most cookshop or

hardware stores. Round-bottomed

woks (with a support ring that

does not extend beyond the burn-
er circumference) may also be

used. The metal ring was designed

to support the wok safely when it

is filled with large amounts of liq-
uids (soup making) or fat (frying).

Wire trivets: Do not use wire
trivets. Cookware bottoms must be

in direct contact with the grates.

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a
metal ring that extends beyond the burner

circumference. Because this ring traps heat,
the surface unit and cooktop surface could
be damaged.

The _ pad (lower oven only) combines a cool< cycle with the convection fan and element to roast meats and poultry. Preheating is
not necessary for meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Foods are crisp
brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside. DO NOT cover food during convection roast.

The Cakes pad provides a preheat with a gentle cycling of heat giving cakes more volume and allowing delicate foods to

The Breads pad adds a preheat feature to the bake cycle to thoroughly heat the oven from top to bottom to give more
evenly browned foods.

The Pizza pad let you choose a preset between a frozen (Fr-o) pizza (425°F) and a fresh (Frh) pizza (400°F). Always
follow the instructions on the box for preheating and baking times. The Pizza pad can be pressed to alternate between the

Setting Convection Bake - Lower Oven Only

The CONVECTION BAKE _ pad controls the Convection Bake feature. Use
the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven can

be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 300°F
(149°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and
continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution
allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking
results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown

more evenly. Convection bake cooks most foods faster and more evenly than
conventional baking.

General Convection Bake instructions

1. When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal cooking times. Adjust

the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will vary
depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked. Cookies and
biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow
heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark

finish will cook faster.

2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.

3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in

position 2 or 3. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in
positions 2 and 4.

Setting the Slow Cook Feature

Slow

The Cookpad is used to activate this feature. The Slow Cook feature may be used to cook foods more slowly, at lower oven

temperatures and provides cooking results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot. The Slow Cook feature is

ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow Cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but not burnt.
This is normal.

There are 2 settings available, high (Hi) or low (Lo). The low setting is best for cooking foods from 8 to 9 hour time period.
The high setting is best for cooking foods from 4 to 5 hour time period. The maximum cool< time for the Slow Cook feature
is 12 hours unless the oven control has been changed to the Continuous Bake mode. This feature may be used with the
additional settings of a Cook Time or a Delayed Start.

Below is a list of preparation and cooking tips you should review for best possible results using Slow Cook:

° Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the Slow Cook feature.
° When using a single rack, place in position 2 or 3.
° Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking utensils when cooking multiple food items.
° Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the Slow

Cool< time may need to extended.

° Cover the foods to keep them moist or use a loose or vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
° Cool< times will vary; depending on the weighh fat content_ bone & the shape of the food.
° Use the recipe's recommended food temperature and a food thermometer to determine when the food is done.
° Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the Slow Cool< feature.

° Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of cooking.

Self-Cleaning

During the self=cleanlng

cycle, the outside of the range can become
very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small

children unattended near the appliance.

v_ The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off

during the self-clean cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.

DO NOT line the oven

walls, racks, bottom or any other part of
the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so

will destroy heat distribution, produce poor

baking results and cause permanent damage
to the interior (aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven),

DO NOT force the oven door

open. This can damage the automatic door
locking system. Use caution when opening
the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle is
completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Self-Cleaning Oven

A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above

cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to
a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

Adhere to the following cleanlng precautions:

* Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
* Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven

manually.

* DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any

part of the oven interior.

* DO NOT dean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven

door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.

* DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so

could cause damage.

* Remove all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot

withstand high cleaning temperatures.

* Porcelain Coated Racks: Some ovens come with lubricated porcelain

oven racks, which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Do
not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important that

the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable

oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of

vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or
when the rack becomes difficult to slide.

* Before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle, hand dean any soil from the

oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the small
area at the front center of the oven. These surfaces are not in the

self-cleaning area. Clean with soap and water. Burned-on residue can
be cleaned off with a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber.

DO NOT hand clean the oven door gasket or it will be permanently
damaged.

harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning
stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may
occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution
of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover dimcuit spots with an ammonia-soaked
paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub
with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners
or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven
cleaners on the cooktop.

Porcelain Coated Racks:
Some ovens come with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during

the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off: the racks. It is important
that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain
optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack

after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes dimcuit to slide.

Porcelain enamel cooktop cleaning instructions

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the gas burner are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are
cleaned up immediately. Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food
spills and grease spatters are not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.

Do not remove any parts from the cooktop until they have completely

cooled and are safe to handle.

Daily Cleaning

For normal soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Wipe off: spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy

water.

3. If needed, use mild household cleaners or a soap-filled steel wool pad.

4. Be sure to rinse off: aii cleaning solutions or the porcelain may become damaged during

future heating.

For heavy, burned-on soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution

of clear water and ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
