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 flam-
mable 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 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.
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.
1
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
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 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 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.
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.

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
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.
CAUTION: Do not leave food or cooking
utensils, etc. in the oven during the selfclean cycle.
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.
Check these points if . . .
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.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that when it is engaged in the self-clean cycle,
there may be low level exposure to some of
the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors during
the self-clean cycle by opening a window
and/or door in the room where the appliance
is located.
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.

may discolor the porcelain.
Unlike a range with standard gas burners, this
cooktop does not lift-up nor
is it removable. Do not at-
tempt 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 burners should be cleaned after each use. (See
page 15 for cleaning directions.)

High Performance
Burner -
(select models)
Ranges with one high
speed burner have the
burner 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.
* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.
12,000 BTU*
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.
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.
Although the burner grates
are durable, they will
gradually lose their shine
and/or discolor, due to the high temperatures of the gas flame.

Care & Cleaning
Self–Clean Oven
Self-Clean CAUTIONS:
•
It is normal for parts of the range to
become hot during a clean cycle.
•
Avoid touching cooktop, door, window, or oven vent area during a
clean cycle.
•
To prevent damage to oven door, do
not attempt to open the door when
the LOCK indicator light is lit.
•
Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the self-clean oven finish or
around any part of the oven as they
will damage the finish or parts.
Some smoke and odor may be detected
the first few times the oven is cleaned.
This is normal and will lessen in time.
Smoke may also occur if oven is heavily
soiled or if broiler pan was left in oven.
As oven heats, you may hear sounds of
metal parts expanding and contracting.
This is normal and will not damage oven.
The self-clean cycle uses above normal
cooking temperatures to automatically
clean the entire 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 help eliminate
normal odors associated with cleaning.
Before Self-Cleaning
Turn off the oven light before cleaning as
the light may burn out during the clean
cycle.
Remove broiler pan, all pans and the oven
racks from the oven. The oven racks will
discolor and may not slide easily after a
self-clean cycle.
Clean oven
frame, door
frame (area
outside the
door gasket) and
around the
opening in
the door gasket with a nonabrasive cleaning agent such as Bon Ami* or detergent
and water. These areas are not exposed
to cleaning temperatures and should be
cleaned to prevent soil from baking on
during the clean cycle.
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.
Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from
the oven bottom to prevent excessive
smoking, flare-ups and flaming during
the clean cycle.
Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers
such as sweet potatoes, tomato or milkbased sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain fin-
ish may discolor if acidic spills are not
wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle.
During Clean Cycle
When the LOCK indicator light is lit, the
door cannot be opened. To prevent dam-
age to door, do not force door open when
the LOCK indicator light is lit.
After Self-Cleaning
About one hour after the end of the clean
cycle, the LOCK indicator light will turn
off. At this point, the door can be opened.
Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash which can be removed with a
damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates
that the clean cycle was not long enough.
The soil will be removed during the next
clean cycle.
If the oven racks were left in the oven and
do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle,
wipe racks and embossed rack supports
with a small amount of vegetable oil to
restore ease of movement.
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain
resulting from the heating and cooling of
the finish. 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 clean cycle. This
discoloration is normal and will NOT affect performance.
