•FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce 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.
1
Important Safety Instructions
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 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.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire
or flame.
Child Safety
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.
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.
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.
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.
About Your Appliance
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.
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.
The oven vent is located at the base of the control panel.
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.
2
Important Safety Instructions
Other potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent
opening, oven door, areas around the oven door and
oven window.
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 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.
Use racks only in the oven in which they were shipped/
purchased.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before moving 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.
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.
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.

Important Safety Instructions
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 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.
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 (select models)
CAUTION
Do not leave food or cooking utensils, etc. in the
oven during the self-clean cycle.
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.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven
racks and other utensils and wipe up excessive
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke, flare-ups or
flaming.
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.
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.
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.

Surface Cooking
LO: Use to simmer foods, keep foods
warm and melt chocolate or butter. Some
cooking may take place on the LO setting
if the pan is covered.
HI: 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.
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.
Surface Controls
CAUTION
• If flame should go out during a cooking operation, turn
the burner off. If a strong gas odor is detected, open a
window and wait five minutes before relighting the
burner.
• Be sure all surface controls are set in the OFF position
before supplying gas to the range.
• NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some
parts of the cooktop, especially around the burners, to
become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to
protect hands.
Pilotless Ignition
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.
BURNER HEAD
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.

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 next to the knob identify which burner the
knob controls. For example, the graphic at right
shows the left front burner location.
Setting the controls:
The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting. For
information on cookware and other factors affecting heat
settings, refer to “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.
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 four ignitors will spark when any surface
burner knob is turned to the LITE position.)
3. After the burner lights, turn knob to desired flame size.
• The ignitor will continue to spark until the knob is
turned past the LITE position.
Operating During a
Power Failure
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.
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to LITE.
3. Once lit, adjust the flame to the desired level.

Surface Cooking
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 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. (See
page 20 for cleaning directions.)
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 1-800-688-8408
to order.
High Performance Burner
(12,000 BTU*)
There is one high speed burner on your range, located in the
right front position. This burner offers higher speed cooking
that can be used to quickly bring water to a boil and for largequantity cooking.
Simmer Burner
This burner is located in the left rear position. The simmer
burner offers a lower BTU* flame for delicate sauces or
melting chocolate.
* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.
Burner Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking.
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, slight 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 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.

Care & Cleaning
Self-Clean Oven (select models)
Note: For manual clean oven, see page 21.
CAUTION
• It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during a
self-clean cycle.
• To prevent personal injury and damage to the oven door
do not attempt to open door when “LOCK” is displayed.
•Avoid touching cooktop, door, window or oven vent area
during a clean cycle.
•Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish
or around any part of the oven. They will damage the
finish or parts.
The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures
to automatically clean the oven interior. Do not force the oven
door or lock lever open. This may result in exposure to high
temperatures and be a burn hazard.
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during
cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the
oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy buildup of soil 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 broiler pan, 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.
3. 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 is the seal around the oven
door and window.)
4. To prevent damage, do not clean or
rub the gasket around the oven
door. The gasket is designed 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.
6. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet
potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel
is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may
discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up before a selfclean cycle.
Note: Oven temperature must be below 400° F to program
a clean cycle.
To set Self-Clean:
1. Close the oven door.
2. Move door lock lever right to the locked position.
3. Press the Clean pad.
•“CLEAN” flashes in the display.
If the door is not closed, beeps will sound and “DOOR” will
display. If the door is not closed within 45 seconds, the
self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display
will return to the time of day.
4. Press the More+ or Less- pad.
•“CL-M” (Medium Soil, 3 hours) is displayed.
5. Press the More+ or Less- pad to scroll through

when LOCK is displayed.
Smoke and Smells
You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few
times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in
time.
Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a
broiler pan was left in the oven.
Sounds
As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts
expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage the oven.
After Self-Cleaning
About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK
will turn off. The door can then be opened. Move door lock
lever to the left to unlock.
Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove
it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means
the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.
If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide
smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports
with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to
move.
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went
through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not
affect performance.
A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic
or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean
cycle. This discoloration is normal and will not affect perfor-
mance.
Notes:
• If the oven door is left open, “DOOR” will flash in the
display and a signal will beep until the door is closed
and the Clean pad is pressed again.
• If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the
Clean pad and the More+ or Less- pad, the program will
automatically return to the previous display.
• The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is
forced to open when “LOCK” is still displayed.
