The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relation of utensil to flame will also improve
cooking 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
ignitionof clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the
surface burner will also improveefficiency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners--To reduce the risk
of burns, ignitionof flammable materials, and spillage due
to unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of the
utensil should be positioned so that itis 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 intemperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.
= Do not use decorative surface burner covets. Ifa
burner isaccidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur ifthe 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 awet 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.
• 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 under 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.
important

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

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 slowly turn the
surface control knob to LITE. After burner
lights push inand 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.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................}:i*
*Flame Size Type of Cooking
A
Off _ Hi Med Lo
Figure 1
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 ina well-lighted room. Each
cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Clean burner ifflame 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. Ifthe fat istoo 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.
