important Safety instructions

=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.

• DONOTTOUCH SURFACE BURNERS,AREAS NEARTHESE
BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS ORINTERIOR SURFACES OFTHE
OVEN. Both surface and oven burners may be hot even though

flames are not visible. 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 cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the

oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven
door and window.

• 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.

• Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholders touch hot heating burners. 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--ELECTRIC IGNITION MODELS ONLY: Do not
attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power

fails, always turn off the oven. If the oven is not turned off and
the power resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Once
the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

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.

• 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 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.

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 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.

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
the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at

least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE

Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area

underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to
accumulate. Refer to the range 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

• Clean in the self=cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this
Use & 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.

Surface Cooking

• Operating Gas Surface Burners

• Setting Proper Burner Flame Size

• Griddle Accessory

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.

Operating the Gas Surface Burners:

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2. Push the knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (See

Fig. 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 lit.

5. Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame

size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. 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 spark
if the knob is left in the LITE position).

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will
influence the setting needed for 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; stewing.

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.

Care & Seasoning of the Griddle (optional accessory)

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°F. Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.

* Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side gas burners or over the Bridge Burner

(some models). For location refer to Fig. 1.
