cooktop, 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

• 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--BuiJdup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is

IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven during
a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven
off. Ifthe oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the
oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended
could catch fire or spoil.
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 ignitionof
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 isequipped 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 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 oven
bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking ifused 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.
= Do not use decorative surface burner covets. If a
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 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.
• 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
Safety instructions
• Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) racks.
Always place oven racks indesired 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

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 in and 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.

*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 in a 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. If the 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.
