IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven, near surface burners or in the

drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic and cloth

items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as

flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol
cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials may

explode and result in fire or property damage.

• Do 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 NEAR
THESE BURNERS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR

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.

IM PORTANT--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 pan 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.

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.

In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to turn

off the main gas shutoff valve.

Use only dry potholders--Moist 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 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

• 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 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 cooktop--lf 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
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can

produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Do not place hot cookware on cold cooktop glass. This

could cause glass to break.

• 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.

SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.

• 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

• 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.

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils

that have these characteristics:

Pans should have flat bottoms. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom.

There should be no gap between the pan and
ruler.

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.

Do not use griddle over more

than one burner because it could damage your
cooktop. It can also result in exposure to

carbon monoxide levels above allowable
current standards and be hazardous to your

health.

Surface

Cooking

FEATURE OVERVIEW

• Using the Wok Stand

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.

USING THE WOK STAND

The Wok Stand provided with your range is designed to allow
only round-bottomed woks up to 14 inches in diameter (35.5 cm).

The Wok Stand must be used on either of the front burners, although it is recommended
that you use the larger burner for best performance.

If properly positioned, the Wok Stand cannot be slid 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. Turn
the Wok Stand, as shown, until the grate fingers fit into the slots on the bottom of the

stand.

Be sure the grate stand is positioned correctly and stably before use to

prevent hot spills and possible burns.

Flat-bottomed woks mayalso be

used on your cooktop without the
Wok Stand.

The WOK STAND fits
over grate fingers.

Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the burner
unit) may also be used without the Wok Stand. The metal ring was designed to support
the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat
(frying).

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner
unit. Because this ring traps heat, the surface unit and cooktop surface could be
damaged.

Flame Size

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to

complete the process. Use the chart 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.

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.

*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; steam
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings
may vary when using other types of pans.

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.

Proper Burner Adjustments

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
sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To adjust the flame see

the Installation Instructions and to clean burner, see instructions under General
Cleaning.

Setting Surface Controls

Your cooktop may be equipped with any combination of the following burners:

3

Simmer Burner; this burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
Standard Burner; can be used for most all surface cooking needs.

4

Large Burner; the larger burner is best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to
temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

5

Regardless of size, always select a utensil 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.

Your cooktop is also equipped with 270 ° rotation valves. These valves provide enhanced

control of the burner flame. Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor when
its control knob is turned to the LITE position.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders

or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop 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.

To operate the surface burner:

1. Place cooking utensil on burner.

2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Note: All electronic ignitors will click
at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.

3. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. Push in and turn the Surface Control Knob to the desired flame size. The control knobs
do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and adjust the flame as needed.

DO NOT cook with the Surface Control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor
will continue to click if left in the LITE position, causing premature wear.)

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 LITE. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

To Operate the Warmer Drawer
Your range is equipped with a 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 dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the warmer
drawer.

To Set the Thermostat Control

The thermostat control is used to select the temperature of the warmer

drawer. It is located on the control panel. To set the thermostat, push in and
turn the knob to the desired setting. The temperatures are approximate, and

are designated by HI, MED and LO.

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 thermostat control to OFF.

Temperature Selection

Refer to the chart in the side column for recommended settings. If a
particular food is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness is

desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil.
Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting.

When a combination of foods is to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2
vegetables and rolls), use the high setting.

Refrain from opening the warmer drawer while in use to eliminate loss of
heat from the drawer.

Indicator Light

The indicator light is located below the warmer drawer control. 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. The indicator light
will not come on during the self-clean cycle.

NOTE:Theconvectionfanautomaticallyturnsoff whentheovendoorisopenedwhile
ovenis in a convection mode and resumes when the door is closed again.

The convection oven uses a fan and a convection element located in the rear wall oven
to circulate heated air around the food to be cooked. The convection mode reduces the

cook time. It retains the natural food juice and allows the food to keep more flavors. This
method of cooking enables you obtain the best results when baking, thawing,
dehydrating and roasting foods.

Convection Notes:

1. Batch cooking is more convenient with better results.

2. Defrosting is quicker in convection mode when compared to regular radiant cooking.

3. Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection baking/roasting
when using the convection mode. Times may be reduced by as much as 30% when
using the convection feature.

4. For oven temperature and setting, refer to the Electronic Oven Control Guide.

When convection roasting, use the broiler pan and grid, and the ROASTING
roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the

grid will help prevent grease spatters. The roasting rack will hold
the meat.

1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to bottom rack position.

2. Place the grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the
grid allowing the heated air to circulate under the food for
even cooking and helps to increase browning on the
underside. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on
the grid in the broiler pan. DO NOT use broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid

with aluminum foil.

3. For oven temperature and setting, refer to the Electronic Oven Control Guide.

The searing grill provided with your new range allows you to grill food
in the oven. Do not use the searing grill without the broiler pan and
insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from high heat of the broiler. Do not use searing grill on
the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop.
Doing so may result in a fire.

Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn off the
oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO
NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

To Use the Searing Grill

1. Place the insert on the broiler pan. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert or
cover the insert with aluminium foil. The exposed fat could ignite.

2. Place the Searing Grill on top of the insert.

3. Preheat the Searing Grill by placing the stacked parts in the oven and close the door.

4. Set the oven in broil mode as described in the Electronic Oven Control Guide under Broil.

5. Allow the oven to operate for approximately 10 minutes for the Searing Grill to get
hot.

6. Pull oven rack out and place food on the Searing Grill.

7. Push the oven rack in and close the oven door.

8. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season
and serve. NOTE: Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or

removing food.

9. Broil mode should be operated as described in your Electronic Oven Control Guide.
When broiling is completed, end the broil cycle.

Oven Baking

For best results, preheat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries,
etc. There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles.

The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from

your previously owned appliance.

Baking problems and solutions

Baking Problems

Cookies and
biscuits burn on

the bottom.

Cakes too dark
on top or bottom.

Cakes not done in

the center.

Cakes not level.

Causes

• Cookies and biscuits put into
the oven before the pre-heating

time is completed.

• Oven rack overcrowded.

• Dark pan absorbs heat too fast.

• Cakes put into the oven before
preheating time is completed.

• Oven rack position too high or
low.

• Oven too hot.

• Oven too hot.

• Incorrect pan size.

• Pan not centered in the oven.

• Range notlevel.

• Pan too close to oven wall or
rack overcrowded.

• Pan warped.

Corrections

• Allow oven to preheat to the selected temperature
before placing food in oven.

• Choose pan sizes that will permit 5.1 cm to 10.2 cm
(2" to 4") of air space on all sides when placed in the

oven.

• Use a medium-weight aluminum baking sheet.

• Allow oven to preheat to the selected temperature
before placing food in the oven.

• Use proper rack position for baking needs.

• Set oven temperature 25°F/12°C lower than
recommended.

• Set oven temperature 25°F/12°C lower than
recommended.

• Use pan size suggested in recipe.

• Use proper rack position and place pan so there is

5.1 cm to 10.2 cm (2" to 4") of space on all sides of
pan.

• Place marked glass measuring cup filled with water
on the center of the oven rack. If water level is

uneven, refer to the installation instructions for
leveling the appliance.

clearance on all sides of each pan in the oven.

• Do not use pans that are dented or warped.

Foods not done

when cooking
time is up.

Air Circulation

in the Oven

• Oven too cool.

• Oven overcrowded.

• Oven door opened too
frequently.

• Set oven temperature25°F/12°C higher than
suggested and bake for the recommended time.

• Be sure to remove all pans from the oven except the
ones to be used for baking.

• Open oven door onlyafter shortest recommended
baking time.

If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of oven.

For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 2-4" (5-

10 cm) around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch
each other, the door, sides or back of oven. The hot air must circulate around the pans
in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.

Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (remove the broiler pan before

preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to
BROIL as instructed in the Electronic Oven Control Guide. Wait for the element to become

red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-
done.

Close the door when broiling.

To Broil

Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season
and serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.

Determining Broiling Times

Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance
from the element, but on the thickness and age of meat, fat content and doneness
preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen
meats also require additional time.

Broiling Tips

The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler.

DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The exposed
grease could ignite.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If

the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put
water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Always pull oven rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.

Broiler Clean-Up Tips:

• To make cleaning easier, line bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT
cover the broiler grid with foil.

• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as
cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off
grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.

• Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled
steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.
