Important Safety Instructions
General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your range, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
WARNING WARNING
If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact •
your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged
appliance.
Make sure that the range has been properly installed •
by a qualified installer according to the accompanying
installation instructions. Have the installer show you
the location of the gas shut off valve and the electrical
outlet so that you know where and how to turn off the
gas supply and disconnect power to the range.
Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range •
unless specifically recommended in the literature
accompanying it. A qualified service technician should
perform all other service.
Before performing any type of service, make sure that •
the gas supply is off and the power cord to the range
is disconnected.
Only use this range for cooking tasks expected of a •
home appliance as outlined in this manual. This range
is not intended for commercial use. This appliance is
certified only for indoor use.
DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE RANGE •
DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. After use,
make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to
cool before touching them.
In the interest of safety, keep the oven door shut •
unless inserting or removing food from the oven or
when cleaning it.
Do not operate the range without the backguard •
attached. A fire hazard may result.
Make sure individuals who use the range are able to •
operate it properly.
Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or •
climb on any part of the range. Doing so may cause
damage, serious injury or death. Do not leave children
alone or unattended in the area around the range. Do
not allow children to play with the controls, pull on the
handle or touch other parts of the range.
Do not store items of interest to children on top of or •
above the range. Children could be burned or injured
while climbing on the appliance.
Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a •
power failure. If a power failure occurs while operating
the cooktop, turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or alter •
any part of the range unless specifically instructed to
do so in these instructions.
Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over •
the range.
Do not cover the burners and grates with anything •
except properly selected utensils. Decorative covers
may cause a fire hazard or damage to the cooktop if a
burner is accidentally turned on with the cover in place.
Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby •
food jars and cans. Pressure build up may cause the
container to burst and cause injury.
Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, •
plastic and cloth away from the burners and other
hot surfaces. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot
surfaces or gas burners.
Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using •
the range. Do not allow clothing to come into contact
with the range and surrounding areas during and
immediately after use.
Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.•
Use only dry pot holders when removing food and •
cookware from the cooktop or oven. Wet pot holders
can cause steam burns.
If the range is near a window, do not use long curtains •
as window treatment. The curtains could blow over the
cooktop and create a fire hazard.
To avoid the possibility of fire, do not leave the range •
unattended when in use.
Clean the range thoroughly before operating it for the •
first time.
Clean and maintain the range regularly as instructed in •
the Care and Cleaning section of this manual. Keep
the entire range, ventilation filters and range hoods
free of grease that could catch fire.
Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check •
the manufacture’s recommendations before use to
determine if a utensil is suitable for use with a range.
Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware
are not suitable for use with a range. Personal injury
or damage may result from the improper use of
cookware.
Select cookware carefully. Use utensils of the proper •
size, material and construction for the particular type
of cooking being done. Utensils need to be large
enough to contain the desired quantity of food without
boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose pans with easy to
hold handles that will stay cool while cooking. Do not
use utensils with loose handles. Avoid using pans that
are too heavy to lift safely.
Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a hot •
cooktop or oven. The steam can cause serious burns
or scalds.

Getting to Know Your Range
Parts of the Cooktop
BACKGUARD: Model ER30G comes standard with a
six inch backguard installed. Model ER30GI comes
standard with a low profile (1 3/4” inch) backguard.
The backguard protects the wall from the effects of
heat and splattering grease. Optional kits are available to change the size of the backguard for both
models. See the Accessories section.
SPILL TRAY: The spill tray catches any food that
falls through the cooktop grates.
GRATES: The porcelain coated cast iron grates support the cooking utensils during cooking. They are
removable to allow the area below and around the
burners to be cleaned easily.
BURNERS: See below for the size and location of
the different burners. The range generates a spark
to light the burner when you turn the knob to the
HIGH position.
BURNER CONTROL KNOBS: Use the knobs to turn
on the burners and adjust the flame size. The corresponding knob illuminates when a burner is on. The
center knob operates the oven.

OVEN RACKS: Each oven comes with three
chrome-plated adjustable oven racks.
RACK SUPPORTS: There are six rack positions
inside the oven chamber. The rack positions are
numbered from the bottom counting up.
OVEN CONTROL KNOB: Located in the center. Use
the oven control knob to turn on the oven. One knob
is used to control both the bake and broil burners. It
lights when the oven is on.
BAKE BURNER: Located below the floor of the
oven. It is the source of bottom heat.
CERAMIC INFRARED (IR) BROIL BURNER: The
infrared broil burner is the source of top heat. It is
mounted in the oven ceiling.
IR BROIL BURNER IGNITER: The igniter lights
the broil burner when broiling. It normally glows
orange from time to time during broil operation.
OVEN ON INDICATOR LIGHT: The oven ON
indicator light illuminates when the oven is on. The
light cycles on and off during normal use indicating
that the oven’s burner control system is maintaining a constant temperature. NOTE: When the power
plug is first connected, reconnected or after a power
outage, this light flashes on and off for about ten
seconds while the range’s circuitry starts up. The
range is ready to use when the light stops flashing.
DOOR GASKET: The door gasket prevents heat
from escaping when the door is closed.
TEMPERATURE PROBE: The temperature probe
monitors the temperature inside the oven for the
oven’s burner control system. To prevent improper
operation, do not cover it or do anything to damage
it.
CONVECTION FAN: The convection fan circulates
heated air through the oven chamber during the
convection cooking process. The convection filter
covers it. The CONVECTION FAN SWITCH, on the
right side of the control panel, turns the convection
fan on and off.
CONVECTION FILTER: The convection filter covers
the convection fan. It helps prevent the transfer of
taste from one food to another when you are cooking a whole meal with the convection fan in use. It
also keeps the oven cleaner, especially when convection baking or convection broiling. In addition, it
covers the moving convection fan blades for safety
purposes.
OVEN LIGHT: The oven light is located behind the
left oven rack supports. The light turns on or off
only when you flip the LIGHT SWITCH on the front
of the control panel. The bulbs are 12 Vac, 20 Watt,
halogen.
