important Safety instructions
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if equipped). Both surface burners and
oven heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. 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 cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.
Wear proper apparelmLoose-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.
In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to
turn off the main gas shutoff valve.
Use only dry potholdersmMoist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. 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.
Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turns off and the power resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.
Use proper flame size=Adjust flame
size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersize utensils will exposed 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.
Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.
Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Always turn the knob to the LITE position when igniting the burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the surface burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface burner will also improve
efficiency.
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.
Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or short circuit.
,, Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.
Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
,, Do not clean or operate a broken cooktopilf cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
,, Clean cooktop glass with caution--If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be

Safety Instructions
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Use care when opening oven door or warmer drawer (if equipped)--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/
warmer drawer.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located at the rear of the cooktop. 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.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or
passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a
fire hazard.
Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) 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/warmer drawer (if equipped).
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.
Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
Clean the range 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 on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the
hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
in the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in this Use and 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.
Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
_ The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-
cleaning cycle of the range. Move the birds to another well ventilated room.

Before Setting Surface 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. This standard burner is located at the left front position on the cooktop.
The POWER burners are 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 (some models) and left rear positions on the cooktop.
The DUAL burner (some models) can be used as a standard burner or a power burner depending on the setting you are using. The DUAL burner is located at the right front 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.
Figure 1
10
Setting Surface Controls
Do not place plastic items
such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too
close to a flame.
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 rapidly turn the
surface control knob to Med. After burner lights 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 cook 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.)
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 of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will
influence the setting needed for cooking.
*Flame Size Type of Cooking
Figure 1
RIGHT
Proper
flame size
WRONG
improper
flame size
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing. *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 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.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Figure 2).
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 quickly and 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.
Figure 2

Setting Surface Controls
Setting the Dual Burner (SOME MODELS ONLY)
The Dual Burner has two rings of flame that you can control for two different heat levels, one for small and one for large cookware.
Large Cookware Operation (Figure 1; Zone A & B)
1. Place a large cooking utensil centered over the surface Burner Grate.
2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (See Figures 2 & 3).
3. Release the knob and rotate to the UTE position. Note: All electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the dual Burner will ignite.

Surface Cooking
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should have flat bottoms that
make good contact with the entire
surface heating element. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the Figure 1
bottom of the cookware (See
Figure 1). Be sure to follow the recommendations for using cookware as shown in Figure 2.
CORRECT
Flat bottom and straight sides.
Tight fitting lids.
Weight of handle does not tilt
pan. Pan is well balanced. Pan sizes match the amount
of food to be prepared.
Made of material that
conducts heat well.
INCORRECT
= Curved and warped pan bottoms.
Pan overhangs burner grate by
more than 2.5 cm (1").
Heavy handle tilts pan.
Flame extends beyond pan.
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.
Using a wok (some models)
Woks with flat bottoms suitable 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
burner circumference) may also be
used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup
making) or fat (frying).
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets.
Cookware bottoms must be indirect contact with the grates.
Easy to clean.
Figure 2
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may
be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware
requirements.
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.

Care & Seasoning of the Griddle (some models)
Before first use: ,,Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.
,,Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle). ,, Preheat your oven to 350°R Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven. ,,Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°E then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing. ,,The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from the seasoning process. If
desired, wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.
After each use: ,,To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
,,After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.
DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER. ,,Dry Immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before storing.
Using the Griddle:
,, Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side gas burners or over the
Bridge Burner. For location refer to Figure 1.
,, Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat
ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process. ..........
,,DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle
and prevent even heat distribution.

Before Setting Oven Controls
This range has a fan that will turn "ON" and "OFF" by itself to keep the electronics cool. It may
continue to run after the range has been turned "OFF", but may also stop immediately and then turn "ON" after
a while.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located in the center rear on the cooktop. When the oven is on, warm air passes through
the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT. Never close off the openings with aluminum foil or any other material.
OVEN VENT
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Flat Handle Oven Rack
Figure 2
Always use pot holders or
oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may
cause burns. Your appliance may be equipped with one
or more of the oven rack types shown; Flat Handle Oven Rack (Figure 2) and Flat Oven Half Rack (Figure 3).
The Flat Half Rack has a removable insert that can provide extra space for larger food items. The right half rack portion may still be used for other food items like a
casserole dish (See Figure 3). To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front insert side (See Figure 4) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall insert rear hooks at back of insert (See Figure 5) and lay insert down. Make sure both insert front hooks snap into rack (See Figure 5).
Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge of the Flat Half Rack. For best results, allow 2 inches between the pan placed on the rack and oven side or
rear walls.

Air Circulation in the Oven
1 Oven Rack
For best air circulation and 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. The hot air must circulate around the pans and
cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
