WARNING i

NEVERuse appliance door as a step stool or seat as this may result in possible tipping of the appliance and serious

injuries. NEVERuse this appliance as a space heater to heat or

warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide

poisoning and overheating of the oven. NEVERcover any slots, holes or passages in the oven

bottom or cover the entire rackwith materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven

and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum

foil may also trap heat causing a fire hazard.

NEVERobstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing so restricts

airto the burners and may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.

Do not use the cooktop or oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.

Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power

to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock.

Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface

burner. Make sure the correct burner isturned on and that

the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn

burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner flame.

Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive

flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.

Never leave a surface

cooking operation

unattended especially

when using a high heat setting or when deep fat

frying. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills

as soon as possible. Do not use high heat for extended cooking operations.

Never heat an unopened container on the surface burner

or in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to

burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the

appliance.

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 appliance parts.

Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool

before attempting to move or handle.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan.

Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

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. After oven isturned off, do not touch the oven vent

or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Your cooktop will feature either pilot ignition or pilotless ignition. Ifthe gas supply to the range is turned off, be

sure all controls are set inthe OFF position before re-supplying gas to the appliance.

CAUTION: If the flame should go out during a cooking operation, turn the burner off. If gas has accumulated and a strong gas odor is detected, open a window and wait 5 minutes for the gas odor to disappear before relighting

burner.

Pilot Ignition

When the range is first installed, the pilots may be difficult to light due to air in the gas line. To bleed off air from the

line, hold a lighted match next to the burner and turn knob on. When the burner lights, turn the knob off and proceed

as directed below.

To light pilot: Raise cooktop and hold a lighted match near the pilot ports. There are two pilot ports.

Pilotless Ignition

Pilotless ignition uses a spark from the ignitor to light the burner. There are two ignitors for conventional surface

burners. Once the burner lights, turn the knob to the desired setting. The clicking sound will not stop until the

knob is turned from the LITE position. Once the burner lights, turn the knob to the desired setting. The clicking

sound will not stop until the knob is turned from the LITE position.

In the event of a power failure, the surface burner can be manually lighted. Be sure all controls are in the OFF

position. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head. Push in and turn knob to the LITE position. The burner will then light. Adjust the flame to the desired

flame size.

To prevent damage to the cooktop or pan, never operate surface burner without a pan in place, never allow a pan

to boil dry and never operate a surface burner on HIGH for extended periods of time.

To light surface burner:

1. Place a pan on the burner grate. NOTE: The burner flame may lift off the burner head

and a "roaring" sound may be heard if a pan is not placed on the grate before lighting the burner.

2. Push in and turn knob to the LITE position. Pilotless ignition models only: A clicking sound will

be heard and the burner will light. When one burner is

turned on, all ignitors will spark.

00.<._ INTERNATIONAL 00 SYMBOLS

RIGHTREAR

3. After the burner lights, turn the knob to the desired

flame size.

Pilotless ignition models only: The ignitors will continue to spark until the knob is turned from the LITE

position.

Adjust the flame size so it

does not extend beyond

the edge of the cooking

utensil. This is for personal safety and to

prevent possible damage

to the appliance, pan, or

cabinets above the appliance. This also improves cooking efficiency.

Page 6

UseaHIGHflamesettingtoquicklybringliquidstoa boil ortobeginacookingorcanningoperation.Thenreduce toalowersettingtocontinuecooking.Neverleavefood

unattendedwhenusinga HIGHflamesetting.

An intermediate flame size is used to continue a cooking operation. Food will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used than needed to maintain a gentle

boil. Remember, water boils at the same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.

Use LO to simmer or keep foods at serving temperatures.

Cookware, including canning equipment, which extends more than two inches beyond the grate, rests on two

grates, or touches the cooktop will cause a build up of heat and may result in damage to the the burner grate,

burner and cooktop. Cookware, such as a wok with a support ring, which

restricts air circulation around the burner will cause heat to build up and may result in damage to the burner grate,

burner or cooktop. Foods cook faster when the cookware is covered because

more heat is retained. Lower the flame size when cookware is covered. This also improves cooking

efficiency. The cooking performance is greatly affected by the type of

cookware used. Proper cookware will reduce cooking times, use less energy and produce more even cooking

results. For best results use a heavy gauge metal pan with a smooth flat bottom, straight sides and a tight fitting

lid. Select a material, such as aluminum or copper, that conducts heat quickly and evenly.

If a knob is turned very quickly from the HI to the LO setting, the flame may go out, particularly if the burner is

cold. If this occurs, turn the knob to the OFF position. Wait several seconds, then light the burner again.

A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds. You may hear a "popping" sound on

some types of gas when the surface burner is turned off. This is a normal operating sound of the burner.

On natural gas, the flame will be blue with a deeper blue core; there should be no trace of yellow in the flame. A

yellow flame indicates an improper mixture of air/gas. Have a serviceman adjust the mixture if a yellow flame

occurs. (NOTE: Adjustments are not covered by the warranty.)

On LP gas, some yellow tipping may occur. This is normal and adjustment is not necessary.

When canning, use the HI setting just until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in a pressure

canner, then reduce to a setting that maintains the pressure or a boil.

Prolonged use of the HI setting, the use of incorrect canning utensils, or the use of improper canning

techniques may produce excessive heat and result in permanent damage to the appliance.

NOTE: For additional canning information contact your local County Extension Office. Or, contact AIItrista

Use a reliable recipe and accurately measure fresh ingredients. Carefully

follow directions for oven temperature and cooking time.

Preheat oven if recommended.

Roasting is the method for cooking

large, tender cuts of meat uncovered, without adding moisture.

Most meats are roasted at 325°F. It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

Broiling is used for tender cuts of

meat or marinated meats, poultry, fish and some fruits and vegetables. The food is placed directly under the

burner.

Use the correct rack position. Baking results may be affected if the

wrong rack position is used.

• Top browning may be darker if food is located toward the top of

the oven.

• Bottom browning may be darker if food is located toward the bottom

of the oven.

Bakeware material plays an important part in baking results.

Always use the type and size of pan called for in the recipe. Cooking

times or cooking results may be affected if the wrong size is used.

• Shiny metal pan reflects heat

away from the food, produces lighter browning and a softer crust. Use shiny pans for baking cakes

or cookies.

Dark metal pan or a pan with an

anodized (dull) bottom absorbs

heat, produces darker browning and a crisper crust. Use this type

of pan for pies, pie crusts or bread.

• If using oven-proof glassware, or

dark pans such as Baker's

Secret reduce the oven

temperature by 25°F except when

baking pies or bread. Use the

same baking time as called for in the recipe.

• If using insulated bakeware,

expect cooking times to increase

slightly. It is not necessary to

adjust the oven temperature.

If you add additional ingredients

or alter the recipe, expect cooking times to increase or decrease

slightly.

Place the meat fat-side-up on a rack

in a shallow roasting pan. Placing the meat on a rack holds it out of the

drippings, thus allowing better heat circulation for even cooking. As the

fat on top of the roast melts, the meat is basted naturally, eliminating

the need for additional basting. The cooking time is determined by

the weight of the meat and the desired doneness.

For more accurate results, use a

meat thermometer. Insert it so the tip is inthe center of the thickest part of

the meat. It should not touch fat or bone.

Remove the roast from the oven

when the thermometer registers the desired doneness.

NOTE: For more information about

food safety, call USDA's Meat &

Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555. For cooking information, write to

the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, 444 North Michigan

Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611, or

call 1-800-368-3138.

Cooking time is determined by the desired degree of doneness and the

distance between the food and the

burner. For best results, steaks and chops

should be at least 3/4-inch thick. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive

spattering or smoking. Cut slashes in the outer edges of the fat to prevent curling during cooking.

Use a broiler pan with an insert

designed to drain excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface.

This is to prevent spatters and smoke.

For a brown exterior and rare interior, meat should be close to the burner.

For well-done meat, place the broiler pan farther from the burner.

Increasing the distance between the meat and the burner will help reduce

spattering and smoking.

Foods that require turning should be

turned only once during broiling. Turn after half the recommended cooking

time.

Page 11

Yourovenwill feature either pilot ignition or pilotless

ignition. If the gas supply to the range is turned off, be sure all controls are set inthe OFF position before

re-supplying gas to the appliance.

Pilot Ignition

To light oven pilot: When cool, remove oven racks and oven bottom. With the oven thermostat knob in the OFF

position, hold a lighted match to the pilot located at the back end of the oven burner. Once the pilot lights, replace

oven bottom and racks.

To replace: Insert the two pins on the back of the cooktop into the holes in the backguard. Lower the top into place

applying pressure at the front edges to secure top to the range.

CAUTION: Do not operate a surface burner without a pan on the grate. The porcelain finish on the grate may chip

without a pan to absorb the intense heat from the burner flame.

Burner grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Burner grates are durable but may gradually lose their

shine due to usage and high temperatures.

Grates for the porcelain cooktop are square. When installing square grates, place indented sides together so straight sides are at front and rear.

Pilotless Ignition

With this type of ignition system, a glo bar will light the oven burner. The oven will not operate during a power

failure or if the oven is disconnected from the wall outlet. NOTE: A lighted match will not light the burner. No

attempt should be made to operate oven during a power failure.

The cooktop featuring conventional surface burners lifts up for easy cleaning of the burner box area.

To remove: When cool, first remove grates and drip bowls, if equipped. Grasp two front burner wells and lift

up. The top can be completely removed.

Surface burners are secured in place during transportation with a shipping screw.

Once the range is installed, these may be removed to allow quick and easy removal of the burner.

To remove: Lift up and support or remove the cooktop. When cool, grasp burner head and tilt to release tab from

slot near ignitor or pilot. Lift up and toward back of cooktop until air shutter end of burner releases from valve.

To replace: Insert air shutter end of burner over valve and lower into place. Replace cooktop. Turn on burner to be

sure burner has been correctly replaced.

Follow these procedures to remove appliance for cleaning or servicing:

1. Shut-off gas supply to appliance.

2. Disconnect electrical supply to appliance, if equipped.

3. Disconnect gas supply tubing to appliance.

4. Slide range forward to disengage range from the anti-tip bracket. (See Installation Instructions for location of bracket.)

5. Reverse procedure to reinstall. If gas line has been disconnected, check for gas leaks after reconnection. A

qualified servicer should disconnect and reconnect the gas supply. (See Installation Instructions for gas leak

test method.)

To prevent range from accidently tipping, range must be secured to the floor by sliding rear leveling leg into an anti-tip bracket supplied with the range.

This is normal for a new range and will disappear after a few uses. Opening a window

or turning on a fan will help remove the smoke and odor.

Appliances which require electrical power are equipped with a three-prong grounding plug which

must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-hole 120 volt electrical outlet.

Always disconnect power to

appliance before servicing.

The three-prong grounding plug offers protection against shock hazards. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD

GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG.

WARNING: Possible risks may result from abnormal

usage, including excessive loading of the oven door and of the risk of tip over, should the appliance not be

reinstalled according to the installation instructions.

If an ungrounded, two-hole or other type electrical outlet is encountered, it is the personal responsibility of the

appliance owner to have the outlet replaced with a properly grounded three-hole electrical outlet.
