All ranges can tip. Injury to persons could result. Install anti-tip device packaged with range. Verify that the anti-tip devices are engaged. See installation instructions.

 

 

Figure 1: Tipping Precautions
Fire Safety

• Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance,

 

 

especially surface unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners

 

 

may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING:

 

 

 

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or

 

 

 

cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so

 

 

 

blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide

 

 

 

poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire

 

 

 

hazard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom

 

 

of the pan.

 

• If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door

 

 

closed. Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit

 

 

breaker box.

 

• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a

 

 

hot burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

 

• If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent, or fan, be certain that flam-

 

 

mable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the

 

 

burners or elements. They could catch on fire.

 

• Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

 

• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking

 

 

and greasy spillovers may ignite.

English 2

Safety

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

a)Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

b)Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').

c)Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

d)Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a)SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

b)NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.

c)DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.

d)Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1)You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

2)The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

3)The fire department is being called.

4)You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

e)Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the oven.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

Gas Safety

• To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block appliance air vents.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed

 

 

 

 

 

 

exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage,

 

 

 

 

 

 

personal injury or death.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flam-

 

 

 

 

mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appli-

 

 

 

 

ance.

 

 

 

- WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

 

 

 

 

• Do not try to light any appliance.

 

 

 

 

• Do not touch any electrical switch.

 

 

 

 

• Do not use any phone in your building.

 

 

 

 

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone.

 

 

 

 

Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

 

 

 

 

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call fire department.

 

 

 

- Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,

 

 

 

 

authorized service agency or the gas supplier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located.

 

• If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until

 

 

 

 

gas dissipates before using the appliance.

 

• If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for

 

 

 

 

leaks. If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak

 

 

 

 

and, therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself" pro-

 

 

 

 

cedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON

 

 

 

 

position and this must be done by a qualified service technician. See warn-

 

 

 

 

ing in “Gas Safety” on page 4.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING:

 

 

 

 

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.

 

 

 

 

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room.

 

 

 

 

Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the

 

 

 

 

appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.

 

 

 

 

 

Burn Prevention

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface

 

 

 

 

units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface

 

 

 

 

units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not

 

 

 

 

touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact sur-

 

 

 

 

face units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.

 

 

 

 

Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

 

• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF

 

 

 

 

OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.

 

 

 

 

Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and

 

 

 

 

after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable mate-

 

 

 

 

rials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have

 

 

 

 

had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot

 

 

 

 

enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, sur-

 

 

 

 

faces near these openings and oven doors.

 

• Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open

 

 

 

 

the door (or drawer) slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape.

 

 

 

 

Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or

 

 

 

 

pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with

 

 

 

 

your cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning

 

 

 

 

purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.

English 4

 

 

 

 

 

 

Safety

• Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

• Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements.

• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food

 

 

(i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').

 

• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bub-

 

 

bling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting.

 

 

Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

 

• Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

Child Safety

• When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal

 

 

responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are

 

 

instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

 

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an

 

 

appliance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can

 

 

damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe

 

 

injury.

 

• Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an

 

 

adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area

 

 

where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its

 

 

vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION:

 

 

 

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabi-

 

 

 

nets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an

 

 

 

appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:

 

 

 

The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Gov-

 

 

 

ernor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to

 

 

 

cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires busi-

 

 

 

nesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

 

 

 

1) The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-

 

 

 

cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide.

 

 

 

2) The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small

 

 

 

amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.

 

 

 

3) California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon

 

 

 

Monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.

 

 

 

4) Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:

 

 

 

a) Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.

 

 

 

b) Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self

 

 

 

cleaning the oven.

 

 

 

c) Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.

 

 

 

 

 

Cleaning Safety

• Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce nox-

 

 

ious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause

 

 

burns from steam.

 

• When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door

 

 

does not lock, do not run Self-Clean. Contact service.

 

• Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds out of the

 

 

kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could reach them. During self

 

 

clean, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes

 

 

such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.

 

 

English 5

Safety

 

• Keep oven free from grease build up.

Cookware Safety

• Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

 

• Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.

 

• Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent

 

 

spills and movement of the pan.

 

• Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion

 

 

of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition

 

 

of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the

 

 

surface heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface

 

 

units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or

 

 

burner will also improve efficiency.

 

• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja-

 

 

cent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk

 

 

of fires, spills and burns.

 

• Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond the edge of the

 

 

cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety

 

 

risks.

Proper Installation and Maintenance

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING:

 

 

 

When properly cared for, your new appliance has been designed to be

Burner Caps

The cooktop has four burner caps. Match the size of the burner cap to the size of

 

the burner. Burner caps are not interchangeable.

 

Make sure the burner cap is completely seated on the burner base before

 

attempting to light the burner. If the burner cap is not placed correctly, the burner

 

may not light or the flame may not burn completely or correctly. The appliance

English 8

 

Getting Started

comes with two different types of burner caps: standard and diffusion (model dependent). See the sections below for further information on each.

Burner Grates

WARNING:

To prevent flare-ups, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned. Do not use a grate if the feet are missing or damaged.

There are two burner grates: one for the left side of the cooktop and one for the right side of the cooktop. Position them so that the circular opening is over the burner cap. Burner grates should rest flat on the cooktop. The rubber feet on the grates should rest in the indents on the cooktop.

Left Side

Burner Grate

Right Side

Burner Grate

 

Figure 3: Grates for Free-standing Models
Electronic Ignitor

The cooktop uses electronic ignitors to light the burners. There is no pilot light.

 

Each burner has its own ignitor. For proper operation, keep the ignitor clean and

 

dry. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boilover or when the burner

 

does not light even though the ignitor clicks.

 

CAUTION:

 

All ignitors spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not touch

 

any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.

High Power Burner

The high power burner is the largest burner. It is the most powerful burner on the

 

cooktop. The burner cap retains heat longer than normal burner caps and, at low

 

settings, prohibits the flame from touching the cookware. This results in a gentle,

 

more predictable heat. Use the low settings on this burner to simmer large

 

amounts of sauces or soups. Use the high settings to quickly bring large

 

amounts of water to a boil.

Precision Burner

The precision burner is the smallest burner on the cooktop. It is well suited for

 

gentle cooking of small amounts of food. Use the burner to melt butter or choco-

 

late or to prepare delicate sauces.

Oven Racks

Depending on model, the range is equipped with one of the following combina-

 

tions:

 

• Two flat racks and one full extension rack

 

• Two flat racks and one half rack

Flat Oven Racks

The racks are designed with a stop so they will stop before coming completely

 

out of the oven and not tilt.

English 9

Getting Started

CAUTION:

To avoid burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot elements.

Inserting Racks Into Oven

1.Grasp rack firmly on both sides.

2.Tilt rack up to allow stop into rack guide.

3.Bring rack to a horizontal position and press the rest of the way in. Rack should be straight and flat, not crooked.

filled steel wool pad. DO NOT clean the rack in the self-cleaning oven.

Half Oven Rack (Some Models)

The half oven rack can be used as a simple flat rack or as a half-sized rack. With

 

the right half of the rack removed, you can place a tall item (such as a turkey) on

 

one side of the rack below and a shorter item (such as a casserole) on the other

 

side. A second shorter item can then be placed on the half rack (above the first

shorter item). This allows for easier access to all items and better utilization of the oven cavity.

Tip:

The removable section can also be used outside of the oven as a trivet or cooling rack.

CAUTION:

Do not place food directly on oven bottom. Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance, especially surface unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

The combustion vents are located along the back edge of the cooktop. They allow the burners to operate properly. Do not block these vents.

 

CAUTION:

 

DO NOT block combustion vents. Blocked vents could lead to fire or

 

unintentional release of carbon monoxide.

Oven Vent

The oven vent is located below the display above the rear left cooktop burner. It

 

is normal to see steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect on

 

the backguard and cooktop.

 

CAUTION:

 

This area may become hot when the oven is in use. To prevent car-

 

bon monoxide build-up, do not block the vent. The oven vent is also

 

important for air circulation.

Automatic Shutoff

The oven will automatically shut off after 12 hours (24 hours if the time format is

 

set for 24 hour in the Select Function section).

Self Cleaning

The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor

 

involved with cleaning your oven.
