FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

ping 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.

To check if device is properly installed, look underneath range with a flashlight to make sure 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. You should check this anytime the range has been moved.

To reduce risk of tip-

To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it.

Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.

If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.

NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may cause them to burst.

Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted surface burner.

To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If 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 may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

Child Safety

NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot.

NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.

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: NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets above an appliance or on backguard of a range. Children climbing on the appliance door to reach items could be seriously injured.

About Your Appliance

NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance. Also, do not use the cooktop or oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Restriction of air flow to the burner prevents proper performance and increases carbon monoxide emission to unsafe levels.

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.

Other potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven door and areas around door and window.

WARNING: NEVER use appliance door, or drawer, if equipped, as a step stool or seat as this may result in possible tipping of the appliance, damage to the appliance, and serious injuries.

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.

Cooking 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. Dishtowels 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.

NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or longsleeved apparel 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 moving or replacing food.

Important Safety Instructions

, cont.

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.

NEVER use aluminum foil to cover an oven rack or oven bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.

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. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.

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.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or addon oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

Cleaning Safety

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance 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.

Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Check these points if . . .

Important Safety Notice and Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in lowlevel 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. Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by properly venting the burners to the outdoors.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the

kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

models)

Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a constant standing pilot light. There are two ignitors for conventional surface burners. Each sealed burner has a spark ignitor. When cleaning around the surface burner use care. If cleaning cloth should catch the ignitor, it could damage it preventing ignition.

If the surface burner does not light, check if ignitor is broken, soiled or wet. If clogged, clean the small port beneath the ignitor using a straight pin.

Pilot Ignition

models)

When the range is first installed, the standing 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 the knob on. When the burner lights, turn the knob off and proceed as directed below.

To light pilot: Raise the cooktop and

hold a lighted match near the pilot ports (See illustration). There are two pilot ports, one on the right side and one on the left side.

Surface Cooking

Surface Control Knobs

Use to turn on the surface burners. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from LO to HI. At the HI setting a detent or notch may be felt. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings.

Graphics near the knob identify which burner the knob controls. For example, the graphic shows the right rear burner location.

Setting the Controls

1. Place a pan on the burner grate.

• The burner flame may lift off or

appear separated from the port if a pan is not placed on the grate.

2. Push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to the LITE setting.

• A clicking (spark) sound will be

heard and the burner will light. (All ignitors will spark when any surface burner knob is turned to the LITE position.)

Suggested Heat Settings

The size and type of cookware will affect the flame setting.

Setting Uses

HIGH: Use to bring liq-

uid to a boil. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.

MEDIUM: An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking. Food will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.

High Speed Burners

(select models)

Select ranges feature one or two high speed burners located in the right front and left rear position. These burners offer higher speed cooking that can be used to quickly bring water to a boil and for large-quantity cooking.

Operating During a Power Failure

1. Hold a lighted match to the desired

surface burner head.

2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to LITE.

3. Adjust the flame to the desired level.

CAUTION:

When lighting the surface burners, be sure all of the controls are in the OFF position. Strike the match first and hold it in position before turning the knob to LITE.

3. After the burner lights, turn the knob to

the desired flame size.

• The ignitor will continue to spark

until the knob is turned past the

LITE position.

LOW: Use to simmer

foods, keep foods warm and melt chocolate or butter.

Cooktop

To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining:

• Clean cooktop after each use.

• Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon

as the cooktop has cooled as these spills may discolor the porcelain.

Conventional Burners

Freestanding ranges with conventional gas burners feature a lift-up cooktop.

To raise the cooktop:

when cool, grasp the front edge of the cooktop and gently lift up until the two support rods, if equipped, at the front of the cooktop snap into place.

To lower: Hold the front edge of the cooktop and carefully push back on each support rod, if equipped, to release the notched support. Then gently lower the top into place. The support rods will slide into the cooktop frame.

SUPPORT RO

Sealed Burners

The sealed burners of your range are secured to the cooktop and are not designed to be removed. Since the burners are sealed into the cooktop, boilovers or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. However, the burners should be cleaned after each use. (See page 9 for cleaning directions.)

Unlike a range with conventional gas burners, this cooktop does not liftup nor is it removable.

Do not attempt to lift the cooktop for any reason.

NOTE: The cooktop on slide-in ranges with either conventional or sealed burners will NOT lift up.

Burner Grates

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping of the cooktop.

Do not operate the burners without a pan on the grate.

The grate’s porcelain finish may chip without a pan to absorb the heat from the burner flame.

Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/ or discolor, due to the high temperatures of the gas flame.

Drip Pans - Optional

Removeable porcelain covered drip pans are available for use with this appliance to help contain spills. Call 1-877-232-6771 USA or 1-800-688-8408 Canada to order.

NOTES . . .

•

A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds. If using natural gas the flame will be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.

If the burner flame is yellow or is noisy the air/gas mixture may be incorrect. Contact a service technician to adjust. (Adjustments are not covered by the warranty.)

With LP gas, some yellow tips on the flames are acceptable. This is normal and adjustment is not necessary.

•

With some types of gas, you may hear a “popping” sound when the

surface burner is turned off. This is a normal operating sound of the burner.

•

If the control knob is turned very quickly from HIGH to LOW, the flame may go out, particularly if the burner is cold. If this occurs, turn the knob to the Off position, wait several seconds and relight the burner.

•

The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Maintenance

Oven Door

CAUTIONS:

•

Do not place excessive weight on or stand on an open oven door. This could cause the range to tip over, break the door, or injure the user.

•

Do not attempt to open or close door or operate oven until door is properly replaced.

•

Never place fingers between hinge and front oven frame. Hinge arms are spring mounted. If accidentally hit, the hinge will slam shut against oven frame and could injure your fingers.

To remove:

1. When cool, open

the oven door to the first stop position (opened about four inches).

2. Grasp door at each side. Do not use

the door handle to lift door.

3. Lift up evenly until door clears hinge

arms.

To replace:

1. Grasp door at each side.

2. Align slots in the door with the hinge

arms on the range.

3. Slide the door down onto the hinge

arms until the door is completely seated on the hinges. Push down on the top corners of the door to completely seat door on hinges. Door should not appear crooked.

NOTE: The oven door on a new range may feel “spongy” when it is closed. This is normal and will decrease with use.

Leveling Legs

CAUTION:

•

Be sure the anti-tip bracket secures one of the rear leveling legs to the floor to prevent the range from accidentally tipping.

Be sure the range is leveled when installed. If the range is not level, turn the leveling legs, located at each corner of the range, until range is level.

Oven Window

(select models)

To protect the oven door window:

1. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents

such as steel wool scouring pads or powdered cleansers as they may scratch the glass.

2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans,

furniture, toys, or other objects.

3. Do not close the oven door until the

oven racks are in place.

Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later date.

Oven Light

(select models)

CAUTIONS:

•

Disconnect power to range before replacing light bulb.

•

Use a dry potholder to prevent possible harm to hands when replacing bulb.

•

Be sure bulb is cool before touching.

•

Do not touch hot bulb with a damp cloth as this may cause the bulb to break.

To replace light bulb:

1. Remove light bulb. 2 Replace with a 40 watt appliance bulb.

3. Reconnect power to range. Reset clock.

Lower Panel

(select models)

Ranges that do not feature a lower broiling compartment will have a panel in place of the broiler door.

To remove panel:

Grasp the bottom corners of the panel. Then lift the panel up and away from the range.

To replace panel:

Align the four slots on the panel with the four screws on the range front frame. Then lower the panel and push down until the panel snaps into place.

Conventional Surface Burners

(select models)

Under no circumstances are the surface burner assemblies to be taken apart for cleaning. The surface burner assembly can be removed to clean the burner box area.

Freestanding range only:

The two surface burner assemblies are secured in place during transportation with screws. Once the range is installed, these screws may be removed to allow quick and easy removal of the burner assemblies.

To remove: Allow the burner assembly to cool. Lift up cooktop. Grasp the burner assembly and rotate it slightly toward the left to release the two tabs on the assembly. Then lift the assembly and pull toward the back of the cooktop until the air shutter ends on the assembly release from the valves.

To replace: Insert the air shutter ends on the burner assembly over the valves and lower the assembly into place. Be sure to secure the two tabs on the burner assembly into the two slots on the burner support bracket which is mounted to the burner bottom. (NOTE: If the tabs are not properly inserted into the slots, the assembly may rock and the burners may not light properly.)
