To Prevent Fire or
Child Safety
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.
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
appliance.
About Your Appliance
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.
in Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid
spreading the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood
to remove smoke and odor.
. Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or
cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
. Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire
or flame.
The oven vent is located at the base of the backguard.
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, surface near the vent
opening, oven door, area around the oven door and
oven window.
2
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.
Do not use the cooktop or ovens as a storage area for
food or cooking utensils.
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 potholders. Damp potholders may cause
burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes
should never be used as potholders 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 long-sleeved 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 potholders. Always avoid reaching into
the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be
moved while hot, use a dry potholder. Always turn the
oven off at the end of cooking.
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 oven racks or oven
bottom. This 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.
0nly 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 element covers for the surface
units, stovetop grills, or add-on 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.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before moving or replacing food.

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.
Self-Clean Oven
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 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.
Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these substances can also be
minimized by properly venting the burners to the
outdoors.
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door
gasket. The door gasket 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.
It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot
during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the
cooktop during a clean cycle should be avoided.
Save These instructions for Future Reference
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when
the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may
be some low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by properly venting
the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/
or door in the room where the appliance is located
during the self-clean cycle.
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.

Self-Clean Oven
The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures
to automatically clean the oven interior.
The oven should be cleaned regularly by wiping up spillovers
to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups. Do not allow a
heavy build-up of soil to accumulate in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well
ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.
Before Self=Cleaning
1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn
out during the clean cycle.
2.
Remove all pans and oven racks from the oven. The oven
racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-
clean cycle if they are not removed.
.
Clean oven frame, door frame, area
outside of gasket, and around the
opening in the door gasket with a
nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon
Ami* or detergent and water. The
self-cleaning process does not
clean these areas. They should be
cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean
cycle. (The gasket isthe seal around the oven door and
window.]
4. 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.
5. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom.
This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming
during the clean cycle.
.
Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet
potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel
isacid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may
discolor ifacidic spills are not wiped up before a self-clean

Suggested heat settings:
LO: Food maintains a temperature above
140° Fwithout continuing to cook. Food
is heated on a higher flame size until it
reaches this temperature and then the
flame size is reduced. Some cooking may
take place on the LO setting if the pan is
covered.
MED: An intermediateflame 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.
ill: Use to bring liquid to a boil, or reach pressure in a
pressure cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when
liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.

Burner Grates
Operating During a
Power Failure
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to LITE.
3. Adjust the flame to the desired level.
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.
Unlike a range with standard gas burners,
this cooktop does not lift-up nor is it
removable. Do not attempt to lift the
cooktop for any reason.
Sealed Gas 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 burner should be cleaned after each use. The
head portion of the burner is easily removed for cleaning.
(See pages 6-7 for cleaning directions._)
The burner heads must be correctly placed on the burner
base for proper operation of the burner.
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking.
When installing the grates, place the tab ends toward the
center, matching the straight bars.
the grates may result in
chipping of the cooktop.
Improperinstallationof __
oooo,o o,o,o, oburners without a pan
on the grate. The L............
grate's porcelain finish may chip without a pan to
absorb the heat from the burner flame.
Use care when stirring food in a pot/pan sitting on the burner
grate. The grates have a smooth finish for ease of cleaning.
The pot/pan will slide if the handle is not held. This may result
in spilling of hot food items and may be a burn hazard.
Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually
lose their shine and/or discolor, due to the high temperatures
of the gas flame.
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 isyellow 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, slight yellow tips on the flames are accept-
able. 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 HI to LO,
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.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the
factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning
differences between a new oven and an old one. As ranges
get older, the oven temperature can shift.
You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is
not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the temperature 25° higher or
lower than your recipe recommends, then bake. The results
of the "test" should give you an idea of how much to adjust
the temperature.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1. PressBake.
Oven Bottom
Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or
sugary spills, asthey may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use
the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not
place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven
bottom.
