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.

WARNING
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.

Using the gas surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Push the control knob in and turn
it to the LITE position.
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
In case of a power failure, you can light
the gas surface burners on your range with
a match. Hold a lit match to the burner,
then push in and turn the control knob to
the LITE position. Use extreme caution
when lighting burners this way.
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.
6
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.
7
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.
8
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
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.
