WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance
from abnormal usage or by excessive loading of the oven
door, the appliance must be secured by a properly
installed anti-tip device. If the range is moved from the
wall, be sure the anti-tip device is engaged when the
range is replaced. Look underneath range to verify that
one of the rear leveling legs is properly engaged in the
bracket slot. The anti-tip device secures the rear leveling
leg to the floor when properly engaged. Also, be sure the
range is properly re-installed.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.
