BRACKET.
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to
■
children in cabinets above a range or on the
backguard of a range – children climbing on the
range to reach items could be seriously injured.
■ Proper Installation – The range, when installed, must
be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
range is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
■ This range is equipped with a three-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.
Be sure the
■ Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the

COOKTOP USE
Cooktop/Oven Temperature Controls
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the
edge of the pan.
Turn off all controls when not cooking.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or fire.
Electric ignitors automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without
cookware on the grate.
To Set Oven Temperature:
Push in and turn oven temperature control knob to desired
temperature setting.
Power failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be
lighted manually. Hold a lighted match near a burner and turn
knob counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to
setting.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or during the
Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may
become hot.
Pilot Lights
(on some models)
LIGHTING STANDING PILOTS
Before the range is used, standing pilot must be lighted. It will
stay lighted even after the burners are turned off.
To Light Surface Burner Pilots:
Make sure all controls are turned off.
1.
Remove the suface grates from cooktop.
2.
Place a lighted match through small holes located between
3.
the front and rear burners on cooktop. The pilot flame should
be seen through each pilot hole.
To Set Burner Temperature:
Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
1.
All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the
control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
Turn knob anywhere between HIGH and LOW. The clicking

Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
“General Cleaning” section.
Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of
soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any
other material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from
spillovers by always using a burner cap.

1. 1-1½” (25-38 mm)
2. Burner Ports
Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not
yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
To Clean:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach
or rust removers.
1. Remove the surface burner grates.
2. Remove burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to “General Cleaning” section.
3. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
4. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a
trained repair specialist.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking
■
area or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in.
(2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.
■ Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements
or surface burners at the same time.
■ On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.
■ On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit
is recommended. If not installed, the life of the coil element
will be shortened. See “Assistance or Service” for ordering
instructions.
■ For more information, contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office. Companies that
manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a non-stick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
*Aluminum ■ Heats quickly and evenly.
■ Suitable for all types of cooking.
Medium or heavy thickness is best for
■
most cooking tasks.
5. Replace the burner cap.
6. Replace surface burner grates.
7. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

Oven Vent
1
1. Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set
plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the
oven vent.
Baking and Roasting
Do not try to light the oven burner during a power failure.
Do not place food or cookware directly on the oven door or the
oven bottom.
Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired
1.
temperature setting.
Place food in oven.
2.
The oven burner will cycle on and off to keep the oven
temperature at the setting.
Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.
3.
Broiling
BROILER
The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and
grid pull out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler and
oven doors closed.
Do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door while it is
■
open.
Do not preheat broiler before use. completely close broiler
■
door during broiling.
Do not use broiler drawer for storage.
■
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance.
■
It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and
smoke.
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
■
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
