WARNING: If the information in this manual is not
followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury or death.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
- WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not
use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a
qualified installer, service agency or the gas
supplier.
GENERAL
No cooking appliance should be used as
a space heater. This instruction is based
on safety considerations to prevent po-
tential hazard to the consumer as well
as damage to the appliance.
If range is installed near a window,
proper precautions should be taken to
prevent curtains from blowing over
burners creating a FIRE HAZARD.
Keep area around appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gaso-
line, and other flammable vapors and
materials.
Have the installer show you the location
of the gas shut off valve and how to shut
it off in an emergency.
Your appliance is vented through the
base of the backguard. Never block
oven vent or air intakes. Do not obstruct
the flow of combustion and ventilation
air. Restriction of air flow to the burner
prevents proper performance.
Avoid touching oven vent area while
oven is on and for several minutes after
oven is turned off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding area become hot
enough to cause burns.
Do not use cooktop or oven as a storage
area for food or cooking utensils. This
instruction is based on safety consid-
erations to prevent potential hazard to
user and to the appliance.
Misuse of appliance doors, such as
stepping, leaning or sitting on the door,
may result in possible tipping of the ap-
pliance or breakage of door and serious
injuries.
IN CASE OF FIRE:
1. Turn off range controls.
2. Smother fire or flame with baking
soda, dry chemical, or a foam-type
extinguisher. Do not use water on
grease fires.

CHILD SAFETY
Do not leave children alone or unsuper-
vised near the appliance when it is in
use or is still hot. Children should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the appliance. Children must be taught
that the appliance and utensils in it can
be hot. Children should be taught that
an appliance is not a toy. They should
not be allowed to play with controls or
other parts of the unit. Let hot utensils
cool in asafe place, out of reach of small
children.
CAUTION: Do not store items of inter-
est to children in cabinets above an ap-
pliance or on the backguard of a range.
Children climbing on the appliance to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not use an appliance as a step stool
to cabinets above.
Touching a hot oven light bulb with a
damp cloth could cause the bulb to
break. Should the bulb break, discon-
nect power to the range before trying to
remove the bulb to avoid electrical
shock.
Clean range with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleaners can pro-
duce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
Use extreme caution when moving the
grease kettle or disposing of hot grease.
Hot grease is flammable. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect around appli-
ance, range hood, or vent fan. Do not
leave container of grease around a
cooking appliance. Always let quantities
of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool be-
fore attempting to move or handle. In the
event of a grease fire, DO NOT attempt
to move pan. Cover pan with a lid to ex-
tinguish flame and turn surface burner
off. Do not douse flame with water. Use
a dry chemical or foam-type fire extin-
guisher, if available, or sprinkle heavily
with baking soda.
Be sure you know which knob controls
which surface burner. Always make
sure the correct burner is turned on and
that the burner has ignited. When cook-
ing is completed, turn burner off.
Use caution when wearing garments
made of flammable material to avoid
clothing fires. Loose fitting or long hang-
ing-sleeved apparel should not be worn
while cooking. Clothing may ignite or
catch utensil handles.
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of tipping of the appli-
ance from unusual usage or by exces-
sive loading of the oven door, the appli-
ance must be secured by a properly in-
stalled anti-tip device. To check if de-
vice is installed properly: Use a flash-
light and look underneath range to see
that one of the rear leveling legs is en-
gaged inthe bracket slot. When remov-
ing appliance for cleaning, be sure anti-
tip device is engaged when range is re-
placed. The anti-tip device secures the
rear leveling leg to the floor, when prop-
erly engaged.
CLEANING
Turn off all controls and wait for range
parts to cool before touching or cleaning
them. Do not touch the burner grates or
surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Spills or boilovers which contain grease
should be cleaned up as soon as possi-
ble. If they are allowed to accumulate,
they could create a FIRE HAZARD.
COOKING SAFETY
Always adjust surface burners flame so
that is does not extend beyond the bot-
tom of utensil. This instruction is based
on safety considerations.
Never leave a surface cooking opera-
tion unattended especially when using a
high heat setting. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers may ig-
nite.
-2-
Never heat an unopened container on
the surface burner or in the oven. Pres-
sure build-up may cause container to
burst resulting in serious personal injury
or damage to the range.
Slide oven rack out to add or remove
food, using dry, sturdy pot holders. Al-
ways avoid reaching into oven to place
or remove food.
Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot
holders may cause burns from steam.
Dish towels or other substitutes should
never be used as pot holders because
they can trail across hot surface burners
and ignite or get caught on range parts.
Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before remov-
ingor replacing food. Always place oven
racks inthe desired positions while oven
is cool. If a rack must be moved while
hot, be careful to avoid contact of pot
holders with oven burner flame.

SAFETY INS l RUC lIONS
STORAGE ABOVE
RANGE
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over
hot surface burners, cabinet storage
should not be provided directly above a
unit. If such storage is provided, it
should be limited to items which are
used infrequently and which are safely
stored in an area subjected to heat from
an appliance. Temperatures in storage
areas above the unit may be unsafe for
some items, such as volatile liquids,
cleaners or aerosol sprays.
UTENSIL SAFETY
Use only pans that have flat bottoms
and handles that are easily grasped and
stay cool. Avoid using unstable,
warped, easily tipped or loose handled
pans. Do not use pans if their handles
twist and cannot be tightened. Pans that
are heavy to move when filled with food
may also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to prop-
erly contain food and avoid boilovers.
Pan size is particularly important in
deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accom-
modate the volume of food that is to be
added as well as the bubble action of fat.
Never leave a deep fat frying operation
unattended.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could
damage the utensil and the appliance.
ALUMINUM FOIL
Use aluminum foil ONLY as instructed
in this book. Improper use of aluminum
foil may cause damage to the oven, af-
fect cooking results, and can also result
in shock and/or fire hazards.
PLASTICS
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat.
Keep plastics away from parts of the ap-
pliance that may become warm or hot.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
NOTICE AND WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Propo-
sition 65) requires the Governor of Cali-
fornia to publish a list of substances
known to the State of California to cause
cancer or reproductive harm, and re-
quires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposures to such sub-
stances.
Users of this appliance are hereby
warned that the burning of gas can re-
sult in low-level exposure to some of the
listed substances, including benzene,
formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to
the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Prop-
erly adjusted burners will minimize in-
complete combustion. Exposure to
these substances can also be mini-
mized by properly venting the burners to
the outdoors.
Always place a pan of food on a surface
burner before turning it on, and turn it off
before removing the pan.
Always turn pan handles to the side or
back of appliance, not out into the room
where they are easily hit or reached by
small children. To minimize burns, igni-
tion of flammable materials and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, do not extend handles over ad-
jacent surface burners.
!
AEROSOL SPRAYS
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EX-
PLOSIVE when exposed to heat and
may be highly flammable. Avoid their
use or storage near an appliance.
SELF-CLEAN OVEN
Do not clean door gasket. The door gas-
ket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket. Do not use oven
cleaners of any kind in or around any
part of the self-clean oven. Clean only
parts listed in this booklet. Before self-
cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan,
oven racks, and other utensils, and wipe
off excessive spillovers.
It is normal for the cooktop of the range
to become hot during a self-clean cycle.
Therefore, touching or lifting the cook-
top during a clean cycle should be
avoided.
VENTILATING HOOD
To reduce the hazard of storage above
a range, install a ventilating hood that
projects at least 5 inches beyond the
bottom edge of the cabinets. Clean
hood frequently to prevent grease from
accumulating on hood or its filter.
Should a boilover or spillover result inan
open flame, immediately turn off the
hood's fan to avoid spreading the flame.
After thoroughly extinguishing flame,
the fan may be turned on to remove un-
pleasant odor or smoke.

FEATURES
BEFORE
SELF-CLEANING
Clean oven frame, door frame and
around the oven vent with a non-abra-
sive cleaning agent such as Bon Ami.
These areas are not exposed to clean-
ing temperatures and should be
cleaned to prevent soil from baking on
during the clean cycle.
Wipe up excess grease or spillovers
from the oven bottom to prevent exces-
sive smoking during the clean cycle.
DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANERS OR
OVEN LINER PROTECTIVE COAT-
INGS OF ANY KIND ON THE SELF-
CLEAN OVEN FINISH OR AROUND
ANY PART OF THE OVEN.
To prevent damage, do not clean or rub
the gasket around the oven door. The
gasket isdesigned to seal in heat during
the clean cycle.
DURING
SELF-CLEANING
When the door is lockedand the CLEAN
pad is pressed, the oven automatically
begins to heat to cleaning tempera-
tures.
As the oven reaches cleaning tempera-
tures, the LOCK indicator will turn on to
show that an internal lock mechanism
has engaged. At this point, the oven
door can not be unlocked and opened.
To prevent damage to the door and lock
lever, do not force the lock lever to the
left when the LOCK indicator is dis-
played.
About one hour after the completion of
the clean cycle, the internal lock will dis-
engage and the LOCK indicator will turn
off. At this point, the lock lever can be
moved to the left (unlocked position)
and the door opened.
The first few times the oven is cleaned,
some smoke and odor may be detected.
This is normal and will reduce or disap-
pear with use. If the oven is heavily
soiled, or if the broiler pan is left in the
oven, smoke and odor may occur.
--5--
It is normal for the cooktop of the range
to become hot during a clean cycle.
Therefore touching the cooktop during a
self-clean cycle should be avoided.
As the oven heats and cools, you my
hear sounds of metal parts expanding
and contracting. This is normal and will
not damage your appliance.
AFTER
SELF-CLEANING
Some soil may leave a light gray, pow-
dery ash which can be removed with a
damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates
that the clean cycle was not long
enough. The soil will be removed during
the next clean cycle.
If the oven racks do not slide smoothly
after a clean cycle, wipe racks and em-
bossed rack supports with a small
amount of vegetable oil to restore ease
of movement.
Fine, hair-like lines may appear in the
oven interior or oven door. This is a nor-
mal condition resulting from heating and
cooling of the porcelain finish. These
lines do not affect the performance of
the oven.

COOKTOP
The cooktop is designed with two con-
toured welts which contain spills until
they can be wiped up. Unlike the stan-
dard gas appliance, THIS COOKTOP
DOES NOT LIFT-UP NOR IS IT RE-
MOVABLE. To prevent damage to the
gas tubing or top, do not attempt to lift
cooktop.
GRATES
Burner grates must be properly posi-
tioned before cooking. Do not operate
burners without a pan on the grate. The
porcelain finish may chip without a pan
to absorb the intense heat.
When reinstalling square grates, place
indented sides together so straight
sides are at front and rear.
Y
lainfinish ofthe grate may chip without a
pan to absorb the intense heat from the
burner flame.
DUAL PURPOSE
SEALED BURNERS*
The four sealed burners are secured to
the cooktop and are NOT designed to
be removed by the consumer.
Since the four burners are sealed into
the cooktop, boilovers won't seep un-
derneath to the burner box area. Thus,
there are no hidden spills in the burner
box area to clean.
Some models feature two special HI
SPEED sealed burners. Use the H!
SPEED burners to quickly bring water to
a boil and for large - pot cooking. See
information on rating plate to determine
if your appliance features the HIGH
SPEED burner.
LOCATION OF BURNERS:
SPEED BURNER
HIGH SPEED BURNER
A properly adjusted burner with dean
ports willlight within a few seconds. On
natural gas, the flame wilt be blue with a
deeper blue inner core; there should be
no trace of yellow in the flame, indicating
an improper mixture of air/gas. This
wastes fuel, so have a serviceman ad-
just the mixture if a yellow flame occurs.
You may hear a "popping" sound on LP
gas when the surface burner is turned
off. This is a normal operating sound of
the burner.
To light burner:
1. Place utensil on burner grate.
2. Push in and turn knob to the LITE po-
sition.
3. After the burner lights, turn knob to
the desired flame size.
If flame shoutd go out during a cooking
operation, turn the burner off. IF GAS
HAS ACCUMULATED AND A
STRONG GAS ODOR IS DETECTED,
WAIT 5 MINUTES FOR THE GAS
ODOR TO DISAPPEAR BEFORE
RELIGHTING BURNER.
IGNITORS
Once burner lights, turn knob to the de-
sired setting. The sparking wili not stop
until the knob is turned from the LITE po-
sition.
Optional re-ignition system (if
equipped) will automaticaJly relight the
burner if a draft should extinguish it
when using a very low setting. When
this occurs, you will hear a sparking or
clicking sound.

PROPORTIONAL VALVE
To obtain a lower flame size, turn knob
back toward the OFF position until the
desired flame size is reached. The low-
est flame setting is located adjacent to
the OFF position.
SELECTING FLAME SIZE
If a knob is turned very quickly from
HiGH to LOW setting, the flame may go
out, particularly if burner is cold. If this
occurs, turn the knob OFF. Wait several
seconds, then light again.
Flame should be adjusted so itdoes not
extend beyond the edge of cooking
utensil. This isfor personal safety and to
prevent damage to cabinets above
range.
Use LOW to simmer or keep foods at
serving temperatures. Some cooking
may take place if the utensil is covered.
If a LOW setting is to be used, preheat
the burner on HIGH for a minute then re-
duce to the LOW setting and continue
the cooking operation.
CARE INFORMATION
When cleaning around the surface
burner, use care to prevent damage to
the spark ignitor which is located at the
back-side of each burner. If a cleaning
cloth should catch the ignitor, it could
damage or break it. If the ignitor isdam-
aged or broken, the surface burner will

CHARACTERISTICS
OVEN BURNER
The size and appearance of a properly
adjusted oven burner flame should be
as shown:
Cone in center is smaller
Cone approx. 1/2-inch
The oven temperature is maintained by
cycling the burner on and off. After the
oven temperature has been set, there
wilt be about a 45 second delay before
the burner ignites. This is normal, and
no gas escapes during this delay_
During the clean cycle, and some ex-
tended oven cooking operations, you
may hear a "popping" sound when the
burner cycles off. This is a normal oper-
ating sound of the burner.
OVEN RACKS
The two oven racks are designed with a
"lock-stop" position to keep racks from
accidentally coming completely out of
the oven.
To remove: Be sure rack is cool. Pull
rack out to the "lock-stop" position. Tilt
up and continue pulling until rack re-
leases.
To replace: Place rack on rack sup-
ports, tilt up and push toward rear of
oven. Pull rack out to "lock-stop" posi-
tion to be sure rack is correctly replaced.
RACK POSITIONS:
RACK 1 (top of oven) used for 2 rack
cooking of oven meals.
RACK 2 used for two-rack baking or
broiling thicker cuts of meat.
RACK 3 used for most one-rack baking
and roasting some meats.
RACK 4 used for one or two rack baking
and roasting large meats, cooking
larger foods and for baking angel food
cake or pie shells.
RACK 5 used for roasting turkey or bak-
ing angel food cake or pie shells.
HINTS:
NEVER place pans directly on the oven
bottom. Do not cover entire rack with
aluminum foil. Do not place foil directly
on oven bottom or place foil directly un-
der utensil. To catch spillovers, cut a
piece of foil a little larger than the pan
and place it on the rack below the rack
containing the utensil.
If cooking on two racks, stagger pans so
one is not directly over the other, Use
rack positions 2 and 4, or 2 and 5, de-
pending on baking results, when cook-
ing on two racks,
PREHEATING
Preheating is necessary for baking. Al-
low oven to heat for 10 to 15 minutes be-
fore adding food. It is not necessary to
preheat oven for roasting.
It is not necessary to preheat for broiling
unless darker browning is desired or if
cooking thin (3/4-inch) steaks. Allow
burner to preheat 3 minutes.
Selecting temperature higher than de_
sired will NOT preheat the oven any
faster. Preheating at a higher tempera-
ture may have a negative effect on bak-
ing results.
To preheat: Set oven for baking and al-
low the oven to heat until display shows
the preset temperature. 100 will appear
in the display until the oven reaches
100°F. The display will then show the
oven temperature in 5° increments until
the oven reaches the preset tempera-
ture.
-10-
Once the preset temperature is
reached, and the oven temperature has
stabilized, a single beep will sound.
If the oven temperature ischanged after
preheating, a beep will signal that the
oven has reached the new temperature
setting.

USING YOUR OVEN
HOW TO BROIL
Broiling is a method of cooking tender
meats by direct heat under the burner.
The cooking time is determined by the
distance between the meat and the
burner, the desired degree of doneness
and the thickness of the meat.
Broiling requires the use of the broiler
pan and insert. The correct position of
the insert in the pan is very importanL
The broiler insert should be placed in
the pan so grease wilt drain freely. Im-
proper use may cause grease fires.
The broiler insert CANNOT be covered
with aluminum foil as this prevents fat
from draining into pan below. However,
for easier cleaning, the broiler pan can
be lined with foil.
Do not use disposabre broiler pans.
They do not provide a separate tray.
TO BROIL:
1. Prepare meat by removing excess fat
and slashing remaining fat, being
careful not to cut into meat. This will
help keep meat from curling.
2. Place broiler pan onany of the recom-
mended rack positions. Generally,
for brown exterior and rare interior,
the meat should be close to the
burner. Place further down if you
want meat wel! done.
3. Broiling should be done with oven
door closed.
4. Follow suggested times on broiling
chart. Meat should be turned once
about half way through cooking.
5. Check doneness by cutting a slit in
meat near center for desired color.
6. Press STOP/CLEAR pad to cancel a
broil operation.
Use HI BROIL for most broil operations.
When broiling longer cooking foods
such as pork chops, poultry or thick
steaks, select LO BROIL. Low tempera-
ture broiling arlows food to cook to the
well done stage without excessive
browning. Cooking time may increase if
LO BROIL is serected.
