To Prevent Fire or Smoke
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire
or flame.
Chimd Safety
NEVER store items of interest to cNldren in cabinets
above an appliance or on backguard of a range.
items could be seriously injured.
Keep area around appliance clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors
and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper precau-
tions 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.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spread-
ing 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 dosing the oven door.
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.
About Your Appliance
NEVER use appliance door, or drawer, if equipped, as
tipping of the appliance, damage to the 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.
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 pars 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.

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 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 exces-
sive 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.
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 care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before moving or replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNUNG: 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.
Utensim 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.
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 accumu-
hting 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.
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 tempera-
ture. Follow manufacturer's instructions when using
glass.

Important Safety Notice and
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment 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, formalde-
hyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combus-
tion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP} fuels. Prop-
erly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete combus-
tion. Exposure to these substances can also be mini-
mized 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.

Ceektep
To prevent the coektep from discoloring or
staining:
" CHeancooktop after each use.
Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has
cooHedas these spills may discoHorthe
Burner Grates
The grates must be propedy positioned before cooking.
When installing the grates, pHacethe tab ends toward the
center, matching the straight bars.
Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping of
the cooktop.
Seamed 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 cooP,top, 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 page 17 for cleaning directions._)
The burner heads must be correctly placed on the burner
base for proper operation of the burner.
High Performance Burners*
There isone high speed burner located in the right front position
on your range. Select models also have a second high speed
burner located in the left front position. These burners offer
higher speed cooking that can be used to quickly bring water to
a boil and for large-quantity cooking.
Sim er F}w'ner (select models )
This burner is located in the left rear or right rear position. The
simmer burner offers a lower BTU flame for delicate sauces or
melting chocolate.
* BTUratings will vary when usingLP gas,
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.
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 tile burner grates are durable, they will gradually
lose their shine and/or discolor, due to the high temperatures
of the gas flame.
" 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 aidgas
mixture may be incorrect. Contact a service technician
to adjust. (Adjustments are not covered by the war-
ranty'.)
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 rdight the burner.
" The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the pan.

• To prevent damage to oven door. do not attempt to open
the door when "LOCK" is displayed.
o Avoid touching cooktoD, door. window ol oven vent area
during a clean cycle.
, Do not use commercial oven charters on the oven finish
or around any part of the oven. They will damage the
finish oHparts.
The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures
to automatically clean the oven interior.
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 build-
up 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 Se f-Cmeaning
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-proofi The porcelain finish may
discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up before a self-clean
cycle.

temperature often "drifts" and may become hotter or cooler. See page 12 for
instructions on adjusting the oven temperature. Note: It is not recommended to
adjust the temperature if only one or two recipes are in question.
, Use correct pan. Dark pans produce dark browning. Shiny pans produce light
browning. See "Cooking Made Simple" booklet for more information on bakeware.
, Check rack positions and pan placement. Stagger panswhen using two racks. Allow
1-2 inches between pans and oven wall.
, Check the use of foil in the oven. Never use foil to cover an entire oven rack. Place
a small piece of foil on the rack below the pan to catch spillovers.
