Warnings
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD
DO NOT touch a hot oven
light bulb with a damp cloth
as the bulb could break. Should the bulb
break, disconnect electric power to the
appliance at the main fuse or circuit
breaker before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD

WARNING
NOTICE
CAUTION
WARNING
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the
oven after self-cleaning cycle has begun,
since some parts become extremely hot to
the touch!
During the rst few times the self-cleaning
feature is used, there may be some odor
and smoking from the “curing” of the
binder in the high-density insulation
used in the oven. When the insulation is
thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear.
During subsequent self-cleaning cycles,
you may sense an odor characteristic of
high temperatures.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING
THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.
CAUTION
You must carefully check the food during
the dehydration process to ensure that it
does not catch re.
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
•Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it.
• Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other ammable vapors and materials.
• If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.
• NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air from the vent may ignite ammable items and may increase pressure in
closed containers which may cause them to burst.
• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly ammable. Avoid their use or storage near
an appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave
plastic items on the rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted surface burner.
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over
hot foods. DO NOT leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc; re hazard.
In Case of Fire
Turn o appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the ame. Extinguish ame then turn on hood to remove smoke and
odor.
• Cooktop: Smother re or ame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.
• NEVER pick up or move a aming pan.
• Oven: Smother re or ame by closing the oven door. DO NOT use water on grease res. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher to smother re or ame.
• GREASE–Grease is ammable and should be handled carefully. DO NOT use water on grease res. Flaming grease can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher. Let fat cool before
attempting to handle it. DO NOT allow grease to collect around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.
Child Safety
• NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot.
• NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.
• DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

Warnings
Cooking Safety
• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If
storage is provided, it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are safely stored in an area subjected to
heat from an appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make
sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn burner o before removing
pan to prevent exposure to burner ame.
• ALWAYS adjust surface burner ame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive ame
is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance. This is based on safety
considerations.
• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended
cooking operations.
• DO NOT heat unopened food containers, build up of pressure may cause the container to explode and result in injury.
• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used
as potholders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.
• DO NOT let cooking grease or other ammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood
frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or lter. When aming foods under the hood, turn the fan o .
• NEVER wear garments made of ammable material or loose tting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or
catch utensil handles. DO NOT drape towels or materials on oven door handles. These items could ignite and cause burns.
• ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy
potholders. ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry potholder.
• ALWAYS turn the oven o at the end of cooking.
• Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before moving or replacing food.
• NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could result in risk of electric shock, re, or damage to the
appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts,
warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The food could be contaminated.
• If you are “ aming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the ames to spread out of
control.
• Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that
the kitchen is well-ventilated. Keep natural venting holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device. Prolonged or intensive use
of the appliance may call for additional (such as opening a window) or more e ective ventilation (such as increasing the level of a
mechanical ventilation if present).
Utensil Safety
• Use pans with at bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loosehandled pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that
are heavy to move when lled with food may also be hazardous.
• Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be
sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.
• To minimize burns, ignition of ammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend
handles over adjacent surface burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room
where they are easily hit or reached by small children.
• NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance.
• Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop surface or oven usage without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when using glass.
• This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that
are not speci cally recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven
convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety
hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.
• The ame of the burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause
scorching of adjacent counter-top surfaces, as well as the outside of the utensil. This is based on safety considerations.

Surface Operation
Lighting Burners
All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are no open- ame, “standing” pilots.
Surface Burners-Automatic Reignition
To light the surface burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to any
position. This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any “ON” position
with the automatic re-ignition system. If the ame goes out for any reason, the burners will automatically
reignite if the gas is still owing. When gas is permitted to ow to the burners, the electric igniters start
sparking. On all surface igniters you should hear a “clicking” sound. If you do not, turn o the control and
check that the unit is plugged in and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.
Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control to
any position to adjust the ame size. Setting the proper ame height for the desired cooking process and selecting the correct
cooking vessel will result in superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.
Your range is equipped with a variety of di erent sized surface burners. Below is a guide for which burners work best for certain
cooking applications:
Burner Use
Front left / Front right
18,000 BTU / 17,000 BTU
Rear left 9,100 BTU Best for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
Center 9,100 BTU burner Best for use with the reversible griddle/grill
Rear Right 12,000 BTU burner Best used for most standard surface cooking
Best for bringing large quantities of liquid
to temperature and when preparing large
quantities of food
accessory
needs

Surface Operation
Surface Cooking Tips
• Use low or medium ame heights when cooking in vessels that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast-iron.
Reduce the ame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the cooking vessel diameter. This will ensure more even heating
within the cooking vessel and reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.
• Reduce the ame if it is extending beyond the bottom of the cooking vessel. A ame that extends along the sides of the vessel is
potentially dangerous, heats the utensil handle and kitchen instead of the food, and wastes energy.
• Reduce the ame height to the minimum level necessary to perform the desired cooking process. Remember that food cooks
just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a rolling boil. Maintaining a higher boil than is necessary wastes energy, cooks away
moisture, and causes a loss in food avor and nutrient level.
• The minimum pot or pan (vessel) diameter recommended is 6” (15 cm). Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but
not recommended.

*Note: The above information is given as a guide only. You may need
to vary the heat settings to suit your personal requirements.
Cooking Vessels
Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking vessels that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being
done. Any and all cooking vessels are suitable for use in the range and it is not necessary to replace your present domestic vessels
with commercial cookware. This is a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free
from excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.
Note: When using big pots and/or high ames, it is recommended to use the front burners. There is more room in the front and
potential cleanup at rear of appliance due to staining or discoloration will be minimized.
