Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage
when using the oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The appliance
must be installed and electrically grounded according to local codes.
Have this technician show the the location of the gas shut-off valve
on the range so you know where and how to turn off the gas if
necessary.
2. Do not attempt to repair or replace an part of this appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician. Warranty service must be
performed by an authorized service agency.
3. The “push-to-turn” knobs of this range are designed to be child-safe.
However, children should not be left alone in the kitchen while the
range is in use. Do not store items of interest to children over the
:
unit. CAUTION
injured.
4. GREASE is flammable and should be handled carefully. Do not use
water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan by covering utensil completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of utensil can be extinguished
with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam
type extinguisher.
5. Never leave the surface area unattended at high heat setting. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spill-overs which may ignite.
6. If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN
THE FAN OFF
control.
7. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the appliance.
8. Never use your oven for storage. This is based on safety
considerations.
9. Use proper pan size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the burner. Using undersized utensils allows the
flame to come up the side of the utensil, scorching the outside of the
utensil and making cleanup harder.
10. Keep area clean and free from combustible material, gasoline, and
other flammable liquids.
Children climbing to reach items could be seriously
.
The draft could cause the flames to spread out of
11. The flame of the open-top burner should be adjusted to just cover
the bottom of the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause
scorching of adjacent countertop surfaces, as well as the outside of
the utensil. This is based on safety considerations.
12. Use dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot surface
areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
13. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward toward the
center of the range, and so that it does not extend over adjacent
burners.
14. Surface areas near burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch areas near burners until they have
had sufficient time to cool.
15. Once the unit is 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 wellventilated. 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
effective ventilation (such as
increasing the level of a
mechanical ventilation if
present).
16. The flueway must also
remain clear.
17. Storage cabinet area above the unit must be 36” (91.4 cm) and
cannot project more than 13” (33.0 cm) outward from the rear wall.
Beware of potential hazards associated with retrieving items from
such cabinets when the unit is in operation.
18. Do not attempt to operate the appliance during power failure.
19. Do not heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure may
cause the container to explode and result in injury.
20. Never sit, step, stand, or lean on any part of the oven, or injury may
result.
21. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.

22. This appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation
device. It shall be installed and connected in accordance with current
installation regulations giving particular attention to the relevant
requirements regarding ventilation.
23. A risk of tip-over may result if the appliance is not installed in
accordance with installation instructions including excessive loading
of the oven door or from abnormal usage.
24. Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good, tight seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
25. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
26. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven
racks, rack supports, and other utensils. Do not use your oven to
clean other parts. A fan noise should be heard sometime during the
cleaning cycle; if not, call service before self-cleaning again.

therefore, children should be kept away.
When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual,
Steel Griddle/Simmer Plate (if applicable)
The griddle is a heavy-weight, blanchard finished steel griddle that
has a USDA authorized protective coating. Before using, remove
protective coating with vinegar and water and rinse well. No additional
seasoning is needed for efficient use.
Grill (If applicable)
The grates should be removed and washed in hot soapy water,
rinsed and then replaced prior to use. Other grill parts should be
removed, dusted, and replaced, making sure that no flammable materials
have ben accidentally placed in the grill.
Drip Tray/Pan (If applicable - Griddle or Grill Models only)
The drip tray should be pulled out and checked for flammable
materials. Make sure to unwrap the drip pan and replace it in its proper
place under the griddle or grill.
Cooking Utensils
Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular
cooking utensils that are most appropriate for the type cooking being
done. Any and all cooking utensils are suitable for use in the range and it
is not necessary to replace your present domestic utensils with
commercial cookware. This 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 FLAMES, IT IS
RECOMMENDED TO USE THE FRONT BURNERS. THERE IS MORE
ROOM IN THE FRONT AND POTENTIAL CLEANUP OF REAR OF
APPLIANCE DUE TO STAINING OR DISCOLORATION WILL BE
MINIMIZED.
Before You Use Your New Range
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any
visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the
manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean the range
thoroughly with hot, soapy water
Oven
Before first use, wipe interior with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
Using Your Range
Lighting the Burners
All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are no open-
flame, “standing” pilots.
Surface Burners-Automatic Reignition
To light the surface burners, 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 reignition system. If the flame goes out for any reason, the
burners will automatically reignite if the gas is still flowing. When gas is
permitted to flow to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On
all surface igniters you should hear a “clicking” sound. If you do not, turn
off 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 be able to light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control
to any position to adjust the flame size.
Setting the proper height for the desired cooking process and selected
utensil will result in superior cooking performance, while also saving time
and energy.

Surface Cooking Tips
•Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in utensils that are
poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast-iron.
Reduce the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the
utensil diameter. This will ensure more even heating within the utensil
and reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.
•Reduce the flame if it is extending beyond the bottom of the utensil.
A flame that extends along the sides of the utensil is potentially
dangerous, heats the utensil handle and kitchen instead of the food,
and wastes energy.
•Reduce the flame 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 flavor and nutrient level.
•The minimum utensil diameter recommended is 6”(15 cm). Utensils
as small as 4”(10 cm) is possible but not recommended.

Griddle/Simmer Plate
Turning the thermostat counter clockwise to any “on” position
activates a glo-bar igniter and opens an electromechanical valve in the
system to start the gas valve. The griddle has a power “ON” light
which glows when the griddle thermostat is turned on. The light cycles
on and off with the burner.
Griddle/Simmer Plate Operation
•Turn the griddle control knob to desired temperature setting. Wait
until light cycles off for indication that the desired temperature has
been reached.
•Always turn off when not in use, or lower the heat between cooking
loads.
Cooking Tips
•Wait until light cycles off for indication that the desired temperature
has been reached.
•Use liquid cooking oil, cooking sprays, or butter for eggs, pancakes,
French toast, fish and sandwiches. This will help reduce sticking.
Meats usually have enough natural oils.
•Remove food particles with a metal spatula during cooking to make
the cleanup easier and to avoid including those particles in the food.
•Do not overheat the griddle. Turn it off when not in use, or lower
heat between cooking loads.
•After using and cleaning the griddle, the surface should be wiped with
a light film of cooking oil to protect the finish from rust and corrosion.

Grill Operation
•Turn on kitchen ventilation product.
•Turn grill control knob to HI.
•Preheat on HI for 5 to 10 minutes.
•Place food on grill, cook as desired.
Grill Cooking Tips
•When grilling chicken, roasts, well done steaks or chops and thick
pieces of meat, sear on HI. Then, reduce the heat setting to prevent
excessive flare-up. This will allow the food to cook through without
burning the outside.
•After steaks, chops, or hamburgers have been allowed to sear for
approximately 1 minute, you may slide a spatula under the meat and
turn it approximately 90
the food.
•Use a metal spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat. A
spatula will not puncture the meat allowing juices to escape.
•Turn the meat over only once. Juices are lost when steaks, chops or
hamburgers are turned several times. The best time to turn the meat
is after the juices have begun to bubble to the surface.
•To test for doneness, make a small slash in the center of the meat, not
the edge. This will prevent loss of juices.
•Occasionally there may be flare-ups or flames above the grill due to
drops of fat falling onto the flame spreader. It is normal to have some
flare-up during grilling. Use a long handled spatula to move food to
another area until the flames subside.
