Important
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.
• Do not operate range during a power
failure. If power fails, turn off range. If
range is not turned off and power resumes,
the range may begin to operate again.
Once the power resumes, reset the clock
and over function.
• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When using this appliance
for the first time, or when the appliance
has not been used for an extended period
of time, be sure the appliance has been in
temperatures above 32ºF (0ºC) for at least
3 hours before turning on the power to the
appliance.
• Remove the oven door from any unused
range if it is to be stored or discarded.
• Be sure to have an appropriate foam-type
fire extinguisher available, visible, and
easily accessible located near the appliance.
• 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 —
Boil overs cause
smoking and greasy spills that may ignite,
or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cook top use.
• When you are flaming foods under a
ventilating hood, turn the fan on.
Important: Important Safety Notice - The
California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of

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
cookware and utensils before moving the
rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease
could ignite.
Important Instructions for Cleaning Your
Range
Before manually cleaning any
part of the range, be sure all controls are
turned OFF and the range is cool. Cleaning a
hot range can cause burns
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Pay
particular attention to the area around
each burner element. Do not allow grease
to accumulate.
• On models with stainless steel cooktops,
clean with warm soapy water using a
clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean
water and dry with a soft clean cloth. Do
not use any store bought cleaners like
stainless steel cleaners or any other types
of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water
or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use of kitchen
cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that
excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on

Incorrect burner cap
placement
Check burner cap placement before operating the
surface burners
To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of
harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner
caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame
size.
It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and
burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations
BEFORE operating the cooktop burners.
Important:
• Always keep surface burner caps in place whenever using a
surface burner.
• When placing the burner caps, be sure that all burner caps
are seated firmly and rest level on top of burner heads.
• For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners DO NOT
allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to
enter the gas orifice port opening.
• On round style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure 1) should
fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level. Refer
to Figure 2for correct and incorrect burner cap placement.
• Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the
burner cap from side to side (Figure 3) to be sure it is
centered and firmly seated. When the burner cap lip makes
contact inside the center of the burner head you will be
able to hear the burner cap click.
• Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off the
center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.
Check and be sure that all oval style (some models) burner
caps are correctly in place on oval burner heads.

Double Ring style burners (some models)
The Double Ring burner only operates properly with two burner
caps in place. Be sure the burner cap lips are positioned facing
down towards the burner head and into the recessed areas
(Figure 4) on each side of the burner head. Be sure both burner
caps are seated firmly and rest level on the burner head before
operating.
Check the fit for each cap using the same method for the round
burner caps by gently sliding each cap from side to side. Please
note that the burner cap lips should NOT move out of recessed
areas of the burner head.
Installing burner grates
Do not use the surface burners without the
burner caps and burner grates properly installed. Missing pieces
or improper installation may lead to spills, burns, or damage to
your range and cookware.
Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop
before using the surface burners. The grates are designed to rest
inside the recess on the cooktop.
To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down and align
into the cooktop recess. Grates should rest flush against each
other and against the sides of the recess.

Using proper cookware
DO NOT place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the range cooktop.
Important: DO NOT place aluminum foil, or ANY
material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these
items melt they may damage the cooktop.
For best cooking results, cookware should have flat bottoms that
rest level on the burner grate. Before using cookware, check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware
(Figure 6).
Setting proper burner flame size
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge
of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and
increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
*These settings are based for 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. Adjust or
clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
Figure 6: Check for flat bottom cookware
Please note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount
and type of food being cooked will influence the burner flame
setting needed for best cooking results.
Cookware material types
The most popular materials available are:
•Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists
staining & pitting).
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
•Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results.
Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
•Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat
very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
•Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material.
•Glass - Slow heat conductor.
Figure 7: Proper flame size for efficient cooking
For most cooking; start on the highest setting and then turn to a
lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations
below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various
types of cooking.
For deep fat frying; use a thermometer and adjust the surface
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 under cooked. Do not attempt to
deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither
brown or 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, steaming.
Low flame Keep foods cooking, poach-
ing, and stewing.
10
Setting Surface Burners
Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized
surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger
volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to
select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food
being prepared.
• The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best suited
for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
• The standard size burners may be used for most surface
cooking needs. Some models are equipped with a center
burner.
• The larger POWER burners (on some models) or TURBO
BOIL burner (on some models) are recommended for
bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when
preparing larger quantities of food.
To set surface burners:
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be
sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate.
2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position.
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the Lite
position. Visually check that the burner is lit.
4. Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in and
turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the
control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.
Important notes:
• DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the Lite
position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the
control knob setting remains in the Lite position.
• When setting any surface control knob to the Lite position,
all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time.
However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different
surface cooking areas at the same time. This can cause
uneven heating results.
• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting
surface burners manually. To light a surface burner, hold a
lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface
control knob to Lite. After burner lights push in and turn
knob to desired setting.
• When operating the oven, it is possible for residual heat
from the oven to build-up and over time to eventually
transfer to the surface control knobs located directly above
the oven door.
Figure 8: Proper way to set burners
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the range cooktop.
Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material
that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may
permanently damage the cooktop surface.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United
States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read
all the information they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
11
Setting Surface Burners
Setting Double Ring Burner (some models)
The versatile Double Ring surface burner offers a complete
range of gas surface settings from the same burner position.
At the lowest setting, only the burner’s inner ring is active,
providing a smaller flame that is perfect for simmering. If
needed, the burner’s outer ring may be added and when set for
HI will provide a gas flame that may be used to bring a large
pan of liquid to boil quickly.
Operating the Double Ring Burner:
1. Push right front surface burner control knob in and turn
counterclockwise out of the OFF position.
2. Release the knob and rotate to the Lite position.
3. Visually check that both inner and outer rings for the
Double Ring burner are lit (Figure 11). Once lit, push in the
control knob and to turn counterclockwise out of the Lite
position and adjust to the desired flame size.
4. When adjusting for a low or simmer type flame setting,
continue to rotate the control knob counterclockwise from
MED setting towards LO (Figure 9). Between the MED and
LO setting the flame for the outer ring portion of the burner
will turn off leaving only the inner burner with a flame for
simmering (Figure 11). Make any further flame adjustments
as needed.
Figure 11: Burner at highest (L) setting and simmer (R)
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the range cooktop.
Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material
that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may
permanently damage the cooktop surface.
Important:
• DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the Lite
position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the
control knob setting remains in the Lite position.
• When setting any surface control knob to the Lite position,
all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time.
However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This can
cause uneven heating results.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven
racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Protective Liners — DO NOT USE ALUMINUM
FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire

Air circulation in the oven
For best 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. Hot air must be able to circulate around the
cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
Figure 13: Variety of racks and their uses
The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (on some models) is designed to place the
base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than flat
oven racks. This design allows several additional positions
between the flat rack positions.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack
(on some models) in the lowest rack position for roasting large
cuts of meat.
