IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
- 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 the fire department.
- Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
WARNING
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result,
causing property damage, personal injury or death.
All ranges can tip. BURNS or other SERIOUS INJURIES can result. INSTALL and CHECK the anti-tip
bracket following the instructions supplied with the bracket. To reduce the risk of tipping the
range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket See installation
instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see
that the rear leveling leg is engaged in the bracket On some models, the storage drawer or
kick panel can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the
range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide
the range back so the rear leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the
range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip
device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call 1-800-932-4267 toll-free to
receive one at no cost.
WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of
the oven.
Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described
in this owners manual.
Have your range installed and properly grounded by a
qualified installer in accordance with the provided
installation instructions. Any adjustment and service
should be performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians. Do not attempt to repair
or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual.
Your range is shipped from the factory set for use with
natural gas. It can be converted for use with LP gas. If
required, these adjustments must be made by a
qualified technician in accordance with the installation
instructions and local codes. The agency performing this
work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Have the installer show you the location of the range
gas shut-off valve and how to turn it off if necessary.
Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do
not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If
in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your responsibility and obligation to have an
ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded,
three prong outlet in accordance with the National
Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance.
Before performing any service, unplug the range or
disconnect the power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off
the circuit breaker.
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
range before operating to prevent ignition of these
materials.
Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cooktops or
control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do
not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or
cuts may occur.
Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
Do not store items of interest to children above a range
or on the backguard of a range-children climbing on
the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the
oven door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range or tip it over causing severe injury or death.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They
provide the air inlets and outlets that are necessary for
the range to operate properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at
the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the
bottom of the range under the warming drawer, lower
oven drawer or kick panel.
Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
pot holders touch surface burners, burner grate, or oven
heating element Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
in place of pot holders.
Be careful not to touch hot surfaces of the range.
Potentially hot surfaces include burners, grates, cooktop,
backguard, oven and door interior and crevices around
the oven door.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could
build up and the container could burst, causing an
injury.
To protect against foodborne illness, ensure that
temperatures of meat and poultry products meet or
exceed the USDA minimum recommended
temperatures for food safety. For more information see:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING
Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or
near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders,
linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using
the appliance. Avoid storing commonly used items in
cabinets above the range and be careful when
reaching over the range. Clothing in close proximity to
burners or hot surfaces may ignite causing severe burns.
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO
WARNING
PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING:
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a
flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan
on a surface burner by covering the pan completely
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat troy. If
necessary, use a multipurpose dry chemical or foamtype fire extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, turn the oven
off and keep the door closed until the fire goes out. If
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or
on the cooktop may ignite.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
necessary, use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam
type fire extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the
oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the
door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean
temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the
oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe
burns.
WARNING
Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium
or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may
ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding
cabinets.
Never leave oil unattended While frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in
fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen
foods with excessive amounts of ice.
Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or
easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the
size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so
that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan
Excessive flame may be hazardous.
Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners
and make sure the burners have ignited.
When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is
suitable for cooktop service; others may break because
of sudden change in temperature.
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage, the handle of a container should
be turned toward the center of the range without
extending over nearby burners.
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the
fan on.
Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring, the
ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting
in a carbon monoxide hazard.
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop if your range has
sealed surface burners. Doing so may damage the gas
tubing to the surface burners resulting in a gas leak and
risk of fire.
Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any
part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop
surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
Stand away from the range when opening the oven
door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns
to hands, face and/or eyes.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the
oven may ignite.
Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven is hot, be careful to
avoid touching hot surfaces.
WARNING
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven. Follow
these instructions for safe operation.
Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans,
shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the oven.
Only porcelain-coated oven racks may be left in the
oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other parts, such as
grates.
Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and
food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease
may ignite leading to smoke damage to your home.
NEVER cover any slots, holes, or
SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Some models)
Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading
and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent
burns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven
walls.
Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or
food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an
oven can ignite.
Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent
which is in the center of the backguard. Items may
overheat resulting in a risk of fire or burns.
When using cooking or roosting bags in the oven, follow
the manufacturer’s directions.
Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is not
permitted due to overheating of control knobs.
If the self—cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven
off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced
by a qualified technician.
Do not clean the 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. No commercial oven cleaner
or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven.
WARNING
WARMING DRAWER/LOWER OVEN DRAWER SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (Some models)
The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow
very rapidly in food that is between 40 and 140°F. Do not
put cold food in warming drawer. Do not keep food in
the warming drawer for more than 2 hours. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in foodborne illness.
Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or
combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.
Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface
of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to
cause burns.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a
crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food. Hot air or steam that escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the warming drawer. Foil
is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath
it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and
potentially cause a fire hazard.

Before Lighting a Gas Burner
Make sure all burners are in place.
Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any burner.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are
placed in their respective positions.
Push the control knob in and turn it to the
LITE position.
You will hear a little clicking noise—the
sound of the electric spark igniting the
burner.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the
knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click.
How to Select Flame Size
WARNING
Flames that are not covered by cookware
may present a risk of burns or clothing
ignition. Never let flames extend beyond
the sides of the cookware.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
Do not operate the burner for an
extended period of time without
cookware on the grate. The finish on the
grate may chip without cookware to
absorb the heat.
Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot
holder, cleaning cloths or other materials
on them.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all the
burners spark. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner
while another burner is on. An electric
shock may result, which could cause you
to knock over hot cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
adjust heat. When fast heating is desired,
the flame size on a gas burner should
match the cookware you are using.
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating
and may be hazardous.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight
fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will
give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the
enamel of some cookware may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware-those for oven use only and
In Case of Power Failure

those for top-of-range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass
conducts heat very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts
heat very slowly and cools very slowly.
Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on gas
ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Surface burners in use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to
operate normally.

Using the oven.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Oven Control
Your oven is controlled by an OVEN TEMP
knob. It can take up to 90 seconds before
the flame comes on.
After the oven reaches the selected
temperature, the oven burner maintains
the selected temperature.
Power Outage
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a
power failure.
If the oven is in use when a power failure
occurs, the oven burner shuts off. This is
because the flow of gas is automatically
stopped and will not resume until power is
restored.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin...
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the shelf supports (A
through D), they will stop before coming
completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf
support.
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the shelf
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front
and push the shelf in.
NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out
at the special low shelf (A) position.
CAUTION
CAUTION When you are using a rack in the
lowest position (A), you will need to use
caution when pulling the rack out. We
The oven has 4 shelf positions.
recommend that you pull the rack out
several inches and then, using two pot
holders, pull the rack out by holding the
sides of it. The rack is low and you can be
burned if you put your hand in the middle
of the rack and pull all the way out.

Using the oven.
Plastic items on the cooktop may
melt if left too close to the vent.
Vent appearance and location
vary.
Upper Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the
rear of the range. Do not block these ducts
when cooking in the oven—it is important
that the flow of hot air from the oven and
fresh air to the oven burner be
uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent
openings or nearby surfaces during oven or
broiler operation—they may become hot.
Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop
may become hot if left too close to the
vent.
Oven Light
Use the switch on the lower control panel to
turn the light on or off.
Do not leave plastic or flammable items
on the cooktop—they may melt or ignite
if left too close to the vent.
Do not leave closed containers on the
cooktop. The pressure in closed
containers may increase, which may
cause them to burst.
Metal items will become very hot if they
are left on the cooktop, and could cause
burns.
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

Using the oven for baking.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
How to Set the Oven For Baking
Place most foods in the middle of
the oven.
1. Close the oven door. Then turn the OVEN
TEMP knob to the desired temperature.
Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the
desired locations while the oven is cool. The
correct shelf position depends on the kind of
food and the browning desired.
As a general rule, place most foods in the
middle of the oven, on either the shelf
position B or C. See the chart for suggested
shelf positions.
2. Check the food for doneness at the
minimum time on the recipe. Cook longer
if necessary. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to
OFF and remove the food.

To preheat, set the oven at
the correct temperature—
selecting a higher
temperature does not shorten
the preheat time.
Preheating
Preheat the oven for 10 minutes if the recipe
calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven
up to the specified temperature before
putting the food in the oven.
Baking Pans
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish
on the pan determines the amount of
browning that will occur.
Glass baking dishes also absorb heat.
When baking in glass baking dishes, lower
the temperature by 25°F and use the
recommended cooking time in the
recipe. This is not necessary when baking
pies or casseroles.
Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper browning,
there must be enough room for air
circulation in the oven. Baking results will be
better if baking pans are centered as much
as possible rather than being placed to the
front or to the back of the oven.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads. For most casseroles and roasts,
preheating is not necessary.
Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat
resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use
this type for pies.
Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect
heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate
browning. Cakes and cookies require this
type of pan.
Pans should not touch each other or the
walls of the oven. Allow 1 to 1 1/2 inch space
between pans as well as from the back of
the oven, the door and the sides.
If you need to use two shelves, stagger the
pans so one is not directly above the other.
9
Page 10
Using the oven for baking.
Cookies
Flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce
better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a
jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may
have darker edges and pale or light
browning may occur.
For best results, use only one
cookie sheet in the oven at a
time.
Pies
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or
dull pans to produce a browner, crisper
crust.
Cakes
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans
will cause uneven baking results and poorly
shaped products.
A cake baked in a pan larger than the
recipe recommends will usually be crisper,
thinner and drier than it should be.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it
touches the walls or the door of the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with a large
cookie sheet.
Frozen pies in foil pans should be placed on
an aluminum cookie sheet for baking since
the shiny foil pan reflects heat away from
the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain
it.
If baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it may be undercooked and
batter may overflow.
Check the recipe to make sure the pan size
used is the one recommended.
Don’t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time
and do not open the door to look at your
food. Most recipes provide minimum and
maximum baking times such as "bake 30-40
minutes."
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and
upset the performance of the oven. Foil can
melt and permanently damage the oven
bottom. Damage from improper use of
aluminum foil is not covered by the product
warranty.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat
up.
DO NOT open the door to check until the
minimum time. Opening the oven door
frequently during cooking allows heat to
escape and makes baking times longer.
Your baking results may also be affected.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a
sheet on a lower rack, several inches below
the food. Do not use more foil than
necessary and never entirely cover an oven
rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 11/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat
circulation.
10
Page 11
Using the oven for roasting.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures,
which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Roasting is easy just follow these directions:
How to Set the Oven For Roasting
Place the shelf in the A or B
position.
1. Place the shelf in the A or B position. No
preheating is necessary.
2. Check the weight of the meat. Place it fat
side up (or for poultry, breast-side-up) on
a roasting rack in a shallow pan. The
melting fat will baste the meat. Select a
pan as close to the size of the meat as
possible. Line the pan with aluminum foil
when using the pan for marinating,
cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured
meats or basting food during cooking.
3. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired
setting.
4. After roasting is complete, turn the OVEN
TEMP knob to OFF and then remove the
food from the oven.
Adjust the oven thermostat—Easy to do yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat
yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These
thermometers may vary 20-40°F.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power
failure.

1. Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the range
and look at the back side.
To make an adjustment, loosen
(approximately one turn), but do not
completely remove, the two screws on
the back of the knob.
2. With the back of the knob facing you,
hold the outer edge of the knob with one
hand and turn the front of the knob with
the other hand.
To increase the oven temperature, move
the top screw toward the right. You’ll hear
a click for each notch you move the
knob.
To decrease the oven temperature, move
the top screw toward the left.
Each click will change the oven
temperature approximately 10°F. (Range
is plus or minus 60°F from the arrow.) We
suggest that you make the adjustment
one click from the original setting and
check oven performance before making
any additional adjustments.
3. After the adjustment is made, retighten
screws so they are snug, but be careful
not to overtighten.
4. Replace the knob, matching the flat area
of the knob to the shaft, and check
performance.

Using the oven for broiling.
How to Set the Broiler Compartment
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from
above the food. Most fish and tender cuts
of meat can be broiled. Follow these
directions to keep spattering and smoking
to a minimum.
Your range has a compartment below the
oven for broiling.
Both the oven and broiler compartment
doors must be closed during broiling.
Turn most foods once during cooking (the
exception is thin fillets of fish; oil one side,
place that side down on broiler grid and
cook without turning until done). Time
foods for about one-half the total cooking
time, turn food, then continue to cook to
preferred doneness.
1. You can change the distance of the
food from the heat source by positioning
the broiler pan and grid on one of three
rack positions in the broiler
compartment—A (bottom of broiler
compartment), B (middle) and C (top).
2. Preheating the broiler or oven is not
necessary and can produce poor
results.
3. If meat has fat or gristle around the
edge, cut vertical slashes through both
about 2" apart. If desired, the fat may be
trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8"
thick.
4. Arrange the food on the grid and
position the broiler pan on the
appropriate rack in the oven or broiling
compartment. Placing food closer to the
flame increases exterior browning of the
food, but also increases spattering and
the possibility of fats and meat juices
igniting.
5. Close the oven and broiler compartment
door.
6. Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to BROIL.
7. When broiling is finished, turn the OVEN
CONTROL knob to OFF. Remove the
broiler pan from the broiler
compartment and serve the food
immediately. Leave the pan outside the
range to cool.
12
Page 13
Using the oven for broiling.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler
pan and broiler grid. However, you must
mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in
it just like the grid.
Broiling Compartment Guide Suggestions
Both the oven and broiler compartment
doors must be closed during broiling.
Always use the broiler pan and grid that
comes with your range. It is designed to
minimize smoking and spattering by
trapping juices in the shielded lower part
of the pan.
For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly
around the outside edges of the meat. To
slash, cut crosswise through the outer fat
surface just to the edge of the meat. Use
tongs to turn the meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing juices.
USDA recommends the following minimum safe internal temperatures:
• Raw beef, pork, lamb, and veal steaks or chops: 145°F as measured with a food
thermometer before removing meat from the heat source. For safety and quality, allow
meat to rest for at least three minutes before carving or consuming.
• Raw ground beef, pork, lamb or veal: 160°F as measured with a food thermometer.
• Poultry: 165°F as measured with a food thermometer

Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
WARNING
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is
reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward.
The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be
reinstalled.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify
the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
If your range has no anti-tip bracket, call 1.800.932.4267 to receive one at no cost.
Lift-Up Cooktop (on models with standard twin burners)
Some models have dual support
rods that will hold the cooktop
up while you clean underneath
it.
Clean the area under the cooktop often.
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch
on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may
be lifted up.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed
burner models. Lifting the cooktop can lead
to damage and improper operation of the
range.
To raise the cooktop:
1. Be sure the burners are turned off.
2. Remove the grates.
3. Grasp the two front burner wells and lift
up.
Burner Grates
Your range has two or three professionalstyle double grates. These grates are position
specific. For maximum stability, these grates
should only be used in their proper position;
they cannot be interchanged left to right or
front to back. For convenience, the
undersides of the left and right grates are
marked "LEFT FRONT" and "RIGHT FRONT."
Make sure the front portion of both grates is
in front. The middle grate has a bow in front.
Make sure the bowed portion is toward the
front of the range. In addition, the middle
grate is supported by the left and right
grates and must be installed LAST for stability.
Cleaning
Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water. When replacing the
grates, be sure they are positioned securely
over the burners.
Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy
water and a clean cloth. If you removed
your surface burners while cleaning, make
sure they are properly seated when
replacing them.
After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be
careful not to pinch your fingers).
Replace the grates so that continuous arcs
are formed with the center ribs of all three
grates.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the
grates in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup
ammonia and let them soak several hours or
overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.
Although they are durable, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the
best care you can give them. This is due to
their continual exposure to high
temperatures. You will notice this sooner with
lighter color grates.
NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a selfcleaning oven.

Standard Twin Burner Assemblies (on some models)
Grate
Drip pan (if so equipped)
Surface burner
CAUTION:
Do not operate the cooktop
without all burner parts, drip
pans (if so equipped) and
grates in place.
For cleaning information on sealed
burners, see section below. Sealed burner
cooktops do not lift up.
On models with standard twin burners, the
cooktop lifts up for easy access.
Turn all controls OFF before removing burner
parts and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates and drip pans (if so
equipped) can be lifted off, making them
easy to clean.
The holes in the surface burners of your
range must be kept clean at all times for
proper ignition and an even, unhampered
flame.
You should clean the surface burners
routinely, especially after bad spillovers,
which could clog these holes.
Wipe off surface burners. If heavy spillover
occurs, remove the surface burners from the
range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the
cooktop and then lift out the surface
burners.
To remove burned-on food, soak the surface
burner in a solution of mild liquid detergent
and hot water. Soak the surface burner for
20 to 30 minutes.
For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like
Soft Scrub brand or Bon Ami brand. Rinse
well to remove any traces of the cleanser
that might clog the surface burner openings.
Do not use steel wool because it will clog
the surface burner openings and scratch the
surface burners. If the holes become
clogged, clean them with a sewing needle
or twist-tie.
Before putting the surface burner back,
shake out excess water and then dry it
thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30
minutes. Then place it back in the range,
making sure it is properly seated and level.
Check the flame pattern of each burner. If
the flames are "jumpy" (not steady), clean
the holes again with a sewing needle or
twist-tie.
Clean these holes thoroughly on
each burner.
Drip Pans (if so equipped)
Remove the grates and lift out the drip pans.
Drip pans can be cleaned in a dishwasher or
by hand.
When replacing the drip pans, make sure
they are in the correct position.
Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain-enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills right
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot if
allowed to set.
Place them in a covered container. Add 1/4
cup ammonia and let soak several hours or
overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.
CAUTION: Do not clean the drip
pans in a self-cleaning oven.
When the surface has cooled, wash and
rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water once the surface
has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry
cloth.
NOTE: For stainless steel cooktops, refer to
the Stainless steel surfaces section.

Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the
cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven
door, and at the bottom of the range.
Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs
Vent appearance and location vary.
Surface burner knob
Red line
Lower oven knob (on some
models)
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use of the oven. Use a damp
cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild
soap and water or a 50/50 solution of
vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean
water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control panel—they will
damage the finish.
Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up
or down or by hanging a towel or other such
loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.
The control knobs may be removed for
easier cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions
and pull them straight off the stems for
cleaning.
Oven Shelves and Broiler Rack
The shelves and broiler rack can be cleaned
by hand using soap and water or with an
abrasive cleaner or steel wool. After
cleaning, rinse the shelves and broiler rack
with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
After cleaning, grease all oven rack edges
with a light coating of vegetable oil. This will
help maintain the ease of sliding the racks in
and out of the oven.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher
or they may also be washed with soap and
water. Make sure the insides of the knobs
are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position to
ensure proper placement.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and
water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives,
ammonia, acids or commercial oven
cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.
NOTE: Knobs are not interchangeable. Be
sure to reinstall the knobs to the original
location.

NOTE: If the oven bottom is replaced
incorrectly, it may warp and cause
undesirable baking results.
sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may
cause pitting and damage to the porcelainenamel surface and should be wiped up
immediately.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring
pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before
selfcleaning.
Broiler Compartment
The broiler pan is held in place in the broiler
rack.
To remove the broiler pan:
1. Gently pull forward on the drop down
broiler door.
2. Pull the broiler rack with pan forward until
the rack stops. Grasp the broiler pan and
remove it from the broiler rack.
To replace the broiler pan:
1. Slide the broiler pan onto the rack and
push both the broiler pan and the rack all
the way into the broiler compartment.
2. Close the broiler door.
If a spillover occurs in the broiler
compartment, allow the compartment to
cool first. You can clean the compartment
with soap and water, a mild abrasive
cleanser, soap-filled scouring pads or an
oven cleaner following package directions.

from the oven.
To replace the door:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the
top.
2. Insert and seat the upper and lower hinge
arms into the oven slots.
3. Push the hinge locks down from the hinge
hooks.
4. Close the oven door and make sure it is
working properly. If it is not working
properly, remove and replace it following
the above steps.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DOOR UNTIL
THIS STEP IS COMPLETE. THE HINGE OR DOOR
COULD BE DAMAGED.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with
detergent while hot and cover with wet
paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan
will remove burned on foods.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid
anywhere in the range.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
To clean the inside of the door:
Do not allow excess water to run into any
holes or slots in the door.
Wipe dishwashing detergent over any
baked-on spatters on the glass. Use a
single sided safety razor blade to clean it
off. Then wipe over the glass with a soapy
cloth to remove any residue and dry off.
The area outside the gasket can be
cleaned with a soap-filled plastic scouring
pad.
To clean the outside of the door:
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean
the top, sides and front of the oven door.
Rinse well. You may also use a glass
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside
of the door.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When the
surface is cool, clean and rinse.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the outside
of the door.
18
Page 19
Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel
finish on the inside of the oven will stay newlooking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning.
We recommend that you wear rubber
gloves when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.
Soapy, wet metal pads may also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut,
fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the
surface. They may cause a dull spot even
after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a
shallow glass or pottery container in a cold
oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will
help loosen the burned-on grease and food.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides, control
panel and door. Clean these with soap and
water or a vinegar and water solution.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
Do not spray on the electrical controls
and switches because it could cause a
short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to
build up on the temperature sensor-it
could cause the oven to heat improperly.
(The sensor is located at the top of the
oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean
after each oven cleaning, being careful
not to move the sensor as a change in its
position could affect how the oven
bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the
outside of the oven door, handles or any
exterior surface of the oven, wood or
painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.

Before installing your range on linoleum or any other
synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering
can withstand 180°F without shrinking, warping or
discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting
unless a sheet of 1/4" thick plywood or similar insulator
is placed between the range and carpeting.
Make sure the cabinets, floor, and wall coverings
around the range can withstand heat generated by
the range up to 200°F.
Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce
the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames
of operating burners, install a ventilation hood over
the range that projects forward at least 5" beyond
the front of the cabinets.
The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet
metal not less than 0.0122" thick. Install above the
cooktop with a clearance of not less than 1/4"
between the hood and the underside of the
combustible material or metal cabinet. The hood
must be at least as wide as the appliance and
centered over the appliance. Clearance between
the cooking surface and the ventilation hood surface
MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24".
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or
cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to
the installation instructions packed with that appliance.
If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a
minimum clearance of 30" between the cooking

LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the
range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supply fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by
carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy
and can settle into soft floor coverings such as
cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the
range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that
the following simple and inexpensive instructions be
followed to protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or
similar material). When the floor covering ends at the
front of the range, the area that the range will rest on
should be built up with plywood to the same level or
higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or
servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will
withstand 180°F. (Seethe Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around your
range can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F)
by the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
1
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5" of
water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propane or butane), 10" of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of
gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or propane
gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas,
conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer
before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas
supplied to the regulator must be between 6" and 13" of
water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 11"
and 13" of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator,
the inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater than the
operating (manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
must remain in the supply line regardless of whether
natural or LP gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect
the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/
2" and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In
Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal
connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners
are properly seated and level.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or
drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose
during shipping.

CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
2
Installation Instructions
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has
been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other
gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unless local
codes require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new
range. If the hard piping method is used, you must
carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved
after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male
(external) pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line
in an easily accessed location outside of the range.
Make sure everyone operating the range knows
where and how to shut off the gas supply to the
range.
B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup
wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front, remove the
90° elbow for easier installation.
C. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking
care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from
turning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
E. When all connections have been made, make sure all
range controls are in the off position and turn on the
main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all
joints and connections to check for leaks in the
system.
WARNING
Fire hazard: Do not use a flame to check for
gas leaks.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate
the range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off valve.

Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or
time delay fuse.
Note: Use of automatic, wireless, or wired external
switches that shut off power to the appliance are not
recommended for this product.
Grounding
WARNING
Shock Hazard: This appliance must be
properly grounded. Failure to do so can result
in electric shock.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this
appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE
THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD.
A word about GFCI’s - GFCI’s are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are devices
that sense leakage of current in a circuit and
automatically switch off power when a threshold
leakage level is detected. These devices must be
manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical
Code requires the use of GFCI’s in kitchen receptacles
installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of
the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCIprotected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of
the GFCI breaker is possible.
SEAL THE OPENINGS
4
Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in
the floor under the range when hookups are
completed.
IF THE RANGE HAS ELECTRIC IGNITION
5
There are separate ignition devices for the left and right
hand surface burners. Both of these ignitors are ON
when any knob is turned to the LITE setting. The ignitors
will spark as long as any of the top burner knobs are at
the LITE setting.
In the event of an electrical power failure, the top
burners can still be used. To light a burner, hold a lit
kitchen match adjacent to the top burner to be used
and turn valve knob to LITE. USE EXTREME CAUTION.

For Natural Gas:
The oven burner flame should be a clean, blue flame
with distinct inner cones approximately 1/2 inch long. A
soft, lazy flame with indistinct cones means too much
gas or not enough air. A noisy lifting flame means too
much air.

A. Install the oven shelves in the oven and position the
range where it will be installed with front access to
front leveling legs and rear access to rear leveling
legs. All legs must be leveled BEFORE the product is
installed.

B. Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or a cup,
partially filled with water, on one of the oven shelves.
If using a spirit level, take two readings-with the level
placed diagonally first in one direction and then the
other.
C. Remove the drawer (on some models). See the Care
and cleaning of the range section. The front leveling
legs can be adjusted from the bottom and the rear
legs can be adjusted from the top (on some models)
or the bottom.
D. Use an open-end or adjustable wrench to adjust the
leveling legs until the range is level.

WARNING
Never completely remove the leveling leg as the
range will not be secured to the anti-tip device
properly.
INSTALLING THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE
10
WARNING
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
• All ranges can tip.
• BURNS or other SERIOUS INJURIES can
result.
• INSTALL and CHECK the anti-tip bracket
following the instructions supplied with
the bracket.
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must
be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket.
Follow the instructions packaged with the bracket.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged
properly, look underneath the range to see that the rear
leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models,
the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for
easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide
the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is
securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide the
range back so the rear leveling leg is under the anti-tip
bracket.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always
repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly
secured by the anti-tip bracket.
If your range has no anti-tip bracket, call 1.800.932.4267
to receive one at no cost.
E. After leveling the unit, slide it into final position and
verify levelness.
F. After the range is level, slide the range away from the
wall so that the Anti-Tip device can be installed.
28
WHEN ALL HOOKUPS ARE COMPLETED
11
Make sure all controls are left in the off position. Make
sure the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the
range is unobstructed.
CONVERT TO LP GAS (or convert back to
natural gas from LP)
This range leaves the factory set for use with natural gas.
If you want to convert to LP gas, the conversion must be
performed by a qualified LP gas installer.
The conversion instructions and LP orifices can be found
attached to the back of the range.
Keep these instructions and the orifices in case you want
to convert back to natural gas.
