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 NEARTHESE

BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR 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 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 exti ngu isher.

* 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: Donot
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.

, Protective LinersiDo 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 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 tit. 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 fiammabte 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--Boitovers cause smoking and greasy spitlovers that

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

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 aerosolsmAIways 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.

Before Setting Oven Controls

OVEN VENT

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located below the backguard (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on,
warm air is released through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air

circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK THE VENT.

Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and
may cause burns.

Removing & Replacing Oven Racks

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.This range has a total of 6 oven rack
postions.

Recommended Rack Positions for Broiling, Baking & Roasting:
Food Rack Position

Broiling hamburgers & steaks 6
Broiling meats, chicken or fish 6, 5 or 4

Cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits 3 or 4
& Muffins

Frozen pies, angel food cake, 1 or 2
yeast, bread, casseroles, small
cuts of meat or poultry
Turkey, roast or ham 1 or 2

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks.

Types of Oven Racks

Step Down Oven Rack Flat Handle Oven Rack Flat Half Oven Rack

(some models) Fig. 5

Fig. 3 Fig. 4

Your range may be equipped with one or more of
the oven rack types shown; a Step Down Oven
Rack (Fig. 3), a Porcelain coated Flat Handle
Oven Rack (Fig. 4) or a Porcelain coated Flat
Oven Half Rack (Fig. 5). The Flat Oven Half
Rack has a removable insert that can provide
extra space for larger food items. The right half

Fig. 6

To remove the Half Oven Rack insert, squeeze on the left front insert side (See Fig. 5) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To
reinstall insert rear hooks at back of insert (See 1-Fig. 7) and lay insert down. Make sure both insert front hooks snap into
rack (See 2-Fig. 7).

Fig. 7

Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge of the Oven Flat Half Rack. For best results, allow 2 inches between
the pan placed on the rack and oven side or rear walls.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on oven rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 1 and Fig.
2 on page 9). For best results when using a single oven rack, place cookware on oven rack position 4 (See Fig. 2 and Fig.
2 on page page 9).

Air Circulation in the Oven

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 be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for

even heat to reach around the food.

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 electronic surface ignitors will spark
at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on wilt 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. Usethe guides and adjust the flame as

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.

Flame Size Typeof Cooking

Fig. 1

High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a stow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

Always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type offood being prepared.

Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond

the outer edge of the pan.

Double Burner (some models):
The versatile Double ring burner offers a complete range of gas surface settings from the same burner location. At the

lowest setting, only the inner ring is active, providing a Iowflame for any simmering needs. If needed however, one
additional gas ring may be added quickly to provide a total output of 18,000 BTU. When set at the highest, the double

burner may be used to bring a large pan of liquid to boil quickly.

Preparing Bread Dough for the Warmer Drawer

The Warmer Drawer has a "Proof Bread" feature that can be used to help
prepare bread dough. The recommended length of time to keep the bread
dough in the Warmer Drawer is about 45-60 minutes. Be sure however to
follow the recipe's recommended times.

The prepared bread dough should be placed in a large bowl because the
dough will nearly double in volume. Arrange the Warmer Drawer Rack in
the downward position (See Fig. 1). Place the bowl on the rack in the

Warmer Drawer and follow the Warmer Drawer and Bread Proof Control
setting instructions at the top of this page.
