CHILD SAFETY

Do not leave children alone or unsupervised 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. Let hot utensils
cool in a safe place, out of reach
of small children. Children should
be taught that an appliance is not
a toy. Children should not be
allowed to play with controls or
other parts of the unit.

CAUTION: Do not store items of
interest to children in cabinets
above an appliance or on the
backguard of a range. Children
climbing on the appliance or on the
appliance door to reach items could

be seriously injured.

ABOUT YOUR APPLIANCE

WARNING

NEVER use appliance door as a step stool or seat as this
may result in possible tipping of the appliance and serious
injuries.

NEVER use 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.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover the entire rack with 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.

NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air
by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing so restricts
air to 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.

CHILD SAFETY

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 is turned 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 is turned off, do not touch the oven vent
or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to
cool.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use caution when wearing garments made of flammable
material to avoid clothing
fires. Loose fitting or long
hanging-sleeved apparel
should not be worn while
cooking. Clothing may
ignite or catch utensil
handles.

Always place oven racks in the desired positions while
oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food,
using dry sturdy pot holders. Always avoid reaching into
the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved
while hot, use a dry pot holder. Always turn the oven off at
the end of cooking.

Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.

PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food
manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food
container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food
and its container. The food could be contaminated.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, or

UTENSIL SAFETY

Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped,
easily tipped or loose handled pans. Pans that are heavy
to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do
not extend handles
over adjacent surface
burners. Always turn
pan handles toward
the side or back of the
appliance, not out into
the room where they
are easily hit or
reached by small
children.

Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil
and the appliance.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using oven
cooking bags.

IGNITION SYSTEM

Your cooktop will feature either pilot ignition or pilotless
ignition. If the gas supply to the range is turned off, be
sure all controls are set in the OFF position before
re-supplying gas to the appliance.

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.

HOW TO LIGHT SURFACE BURNERS

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.

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.

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.

INTERNATIONAL

RIGHT REAR

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.
