• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR
THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNER OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Areas near surface burners may

become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch
these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the
cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven door and window.

• Wear Proper Apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials

contact hot surfaces.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS(continued)

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.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or

grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not

let the potholders touch the flame or burners. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build-up
of pressure may cause the container to burst and
result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is
to be stored or discarded.

• IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven

during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power

resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so

it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame
todirect contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not

Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce the

risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of
the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High
Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans, oven bottom or any other part of the range.
Use of protective liners or aluminum foil may interfere with
heat and air distribution, and combustion. Damage to the
range or personal injury may result.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see
that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are
touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or
burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will
be blocked from the burner and cause combustion
problems.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door—Stand to the side of the

range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or
steam escape before you remove or replace food in the
oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented
below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area
when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do
not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven
vent. These items could melt or ignite.

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 trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contact the oven burner flame or interior of the
oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing
rack.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS(continued)

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pan
and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of broiler.

• Do not cover broiler grid with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb (some models) with a
damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.

Disconnect the range or turn off the power to the range
before removing and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to

the area underneath each surface burner. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do
not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan
could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.

• Kitchen cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and/or injury.

CONTINUOUS CLEANING OVENS (some models):

• Do not use oven cleaners on the oven liner or any of
the continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous cleaning

surfaces can be identified by their rough surface finish.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS (some models):

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the
oven listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning

the oven, remove all utensils stored in the oven.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind should be used in or around
any part of the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

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.

IMPORTANT: READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your

protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

For personal safety, this oven must be properly grounded. For maximum safety,
the power cord must be plugged into a 120V—60 Hz. outlet that is correctly
polarized and properly grounded.

If a two-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the personal
responsibility of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three­prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD ROUND
GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG. SEE THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS PACKAGED WITH THIS APPLIANCE FOR COMPLETE INSTALLATION
AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE USING A TWO­PRONG ADAPTER OR AN EXTENSION CORD.

To Manually Light Cooktop Burners with Spark Ignition

When you turn the control knob to LITE, all ignitors make an electric spark (a ticking
sound) which lights the selected burner.

During a power failure,
the oven burners cannot be lit and you
should not try to do so. The oven burner
valves will not open up and will prevent
the gas from flowing through the burner
valves to the burners.

During a power failure, the burners will not light automatically. In an emergency,
a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the steps below:

1. Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light. Wooden
matches work best.

2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure you are turning the correct
knob for the burner you are lighting.

Note: If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the knob off
and wait one minute before trying again.

Oven Ignition

When you turn the oven on, the glow bar igniter begins to heat. When the lighter
is hot enough, in about 1 minute, the gas flows into the burner and is ignited.

The igniter glows bright orange when hot. It cycles on and off with the thermostat
and will glow whenever the burner is on.
