word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured

wDANGER

wWARNING

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

if you don’t follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,

electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• WARNING – TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.

• CAUTION – Do not store items of

interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range – children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

• Proper Installation – The range, when

installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

Be sure the range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

• This range is equipped with a

three-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding plug from this plug.

• Disconnect the electrical supply before

servicing the appliance.

• Never Use the Range for Warming or

Heating the Room.

Range Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children

should not be left alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors or drawers.

• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or

hanging garments should never be worn while using the range.

• User Servicing – Do not repair or replace

any part of the range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• Maintenance – Keep range area clear and

free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

• Storage in or on the Range – Flammable

materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires –

Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp

potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR

AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cook-top and surfaces facing the cook-top.

• Use Proper Pan Size – The range is

equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency. Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended

at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls

Are in Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum

foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a 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 range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned

Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

This section tells you how to operate the controls to the cooktop. It also discusses how the sealed gas burner cooktop works, and includes tips on how to cook with and maintain the cooktop.

Using the surface burners

Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with an auto-reignition system. The sealed burners spread the heat evenly across the bottom of the cookware and provide infinite heat control. The auto-reignition system senses when a burner flame has gone out and will automatically reignite that burner.

IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set

for use with Natural Gas. If you wish to use L.P. gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit is included with your new range. See the appropriate section of the Installation Instructions for details on making this conversion.

U sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

wWARNING

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard Do not operate with a yellow flame. Doing so can result in death,

heart attack, or convulsions.

How to use the surface burners:

REAR

OFF

1. Grasp the control knob.

2. Push down and turn to HI. The electric

spark ignitor will ignite the gas flowing into the burner. When you hear a clicking sound, you know that the ignitors are working. Gas is flowing as long as knob is not set at OFF.

3. When the burner is lit, turn the control

knob to the desired flame setting. (See the guide under “Burner heat settings” later in this section.) You can turn the knobs to any of the marked settings. The ignitor will turn off and the clicking will stop when the burner ignites.

NOTES:

• The ignitors may click a number of times

before burner lights. This is normal.

• All four burner ignitors will spark regard-

less of which burner you are using.

• Visually check that the burner has lit. If

the burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If you do not hear the ignitor click, TURN THE BURNER OFF. Check that the service cord is placed firmly in the wall receptacle. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.

Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on valve shaft. If the spark

ignitor still fails t o operate , call your nearest authorized KitchenAid servicing outlet.

Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not provide correct polarity, the ignitor will become grounded and click every once in a while, even after the burner has ignited. A qualified electrician should check the wall receptacle to see if it is wired with correct polarity.

wWARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

Burner heat settings

Use correct burner heat settings (see chart later in this section). If the heat setting is too high, it can:

• Char bacon and cause curling.

• Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.

• Toughen liver, fish, and seafood.

• Scorch delicate sauces and custards.

• Cause a boilover.

U sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start

cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

SETTING

RECOMMENDED USE

• To start foods cooking.

• To bring liquids to a boil.

MED

• To hold a rapid boil.

• To fry chicken or pancakes.

• For gravy, pudding, and

icing.

• To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

• To keep food warm until

ready to serve.

In case of a prolonged power failure

Surface burners can be manually lighted.

1. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn

the control knob to the HI position.

REAR

OFF

2. After the burner lights, turn the

control knob to the desired setting.

NOTE: Do not leave the cooktop unattended

when cooking during a power failure. The auto-reignition feature of your cooktop will not operate during a power failure.

Energy saving tips

Although the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your range:

• Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides,

and tight-fitting lids.

Cookware tips

• NOTE: For best results and greater fuel

efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cook-

ware in good condition.

• The pan should have straight sides and a

tight-fitting lid.

• Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are

full or empty.

• Pans should be easy to clean. Check to

be sure there are no crevices, rough edges, or areas where food might collect.

• Use cookware only as instructed in the

cookware’s user instructions. This is very important for glass cookware because some can be used only in the oven. Pans marked as flameware can be used on surface burners.

• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-

ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

• The pan material (metal or glass) affects

how fast heat transfers from the surface burner through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

• Handles should be made of sturdy,

heat-resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.

• Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to

help shorten cooking time.

• Start food on higher heat settings, then

set surface burner control on low to finish cooking.

• Turn on the surface burner only after

placing filled pan on the burner.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or

cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The cookware could overheat, causing damage to the cookware or surface burner.

Home canning information

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.

To protect your cooktop:

Center over

surface burner

• Use a canner/pan which can be cen-

tered over the surface burner. Large diameter canners/pans, if not properly centered, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.

• Do not place canner on two surface

burners at the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktop.

• Start with hot water. This reduces the

time the control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.

• Refer to your canner manual for specific

instructions.

U sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Caring for your cooktop

Your cooktop is designed for ease of care. You can do most cleaning with items found around the home. Cleaning your cooktop whenever spills or soiling occur will help to keep it looking and operating like new.

NOTES:

• Before cleaning make sure all controls

are off and the cooktop is cool.

• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion

and ventilation air.

• If knobs are removed while cleaning, be

careful not to spill liquids through holes in the control area.

• Be careful not to allow moisture to collect

in control area. Moisture could cause ignitor switches to fail.

Surface burners

• The burner caps should be routinely

removed and cleaned. Always clean burner caps after a spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean prevents improper ignition and an uneven flame.

• For proper flow of gas and ignition of the

burner, DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS, OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS TUBE OPENING.

• Occasionally check the burner flames for

proper size and shape as shown later in this section. A good flame is blue in color. If flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when turned off, you may need to clean the burners.

To clean burners and burner caps:

Burner cap

Ignitor

Gas tube

opening

(orifice)

1. Lift the burner cap straight up from the

burner base.

2. Clean burner cap with warm, soapy water

and a sponge. For stubborn stains, clean with a mildly abrasive plastic scrubbing pad and powdered cleanser. Do not clean burner cap in dishwasher.

3. If the gas tube opening or the orifice,

located inside the opening, has become soiled or clogged, use a cotton swab or a soft cloth to clean the area.

4. If ports are clogged, clean with a

straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort

port. Do not leave anything stuck in the ports.

5. After cleaning the gas tube opening and

ports, replace the burner cap. To replace burner cap, make sure cap is properly

aligned and leveled.

6. Check the burner after cleaning for

proper lighting.

NOTE: To check oven burner flames for

proper size and shape, see the Installation Instructions also included with the range.

will sound, the display will be fully lit for a few seconds, and the display will show the last time set and “PF” (power failure). If, after you set the clock (See “Setting the clock” later in this section), the display again shows “PF,” your electricity was off for a while. Reset the clock.

• The time display will show “Err” and

3 short tones will sound if a time or temperature is incorrectly entered.
