Canada, the range must be electrically grounded in accordance
with Canadian Electrical Code. Be sure the 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.
• Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the
appliance.
• Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance
doors or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting
on the doors or drawers.
• Maintenance - Keep range area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
• Storage in or on the Range - Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven or near surface
units.
• Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

COOKTOPUSE
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.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
LITE • Light the burner.
HI • Start food cooking.
• Bring liquid to a boil.
Between • Hold a rapid boil.
HI and LO
LO • Keep food warm.
• Quickly brown or sear food.
• Fry or saute foods.
• Cook soups, sauces and gravies.
• Stew or steam foods.
• Simmer.
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural
gas. If you wish to use LP gas, an LP Gas Conversion Kit is
included with your new cooktop. See the instructions included
with the LP Gas Conversion Kit for details on making this
conversion.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
The large burners (14,000 Btu/h ]British Thermal Units] and
12,500 Btu/h) provide the highest heat setting, and are ideal for
cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using large pots and
pans. The small burners (6,000 Btu/h) allow more accurate
simmer control at the lowest setting, and are ideal for cooking
smaller quantities of food, using smaller pots and pans.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner while using empty cookware or without
any cookware on the grate.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does
not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter
click, turn the burner off. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or
blown household fuse.
Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the
valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained
repair specialist.
Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation
of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not
provide correct polarity, the igniter will become grounded and
occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a
trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle to see
whether it is wired with the correct polarity.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the
control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following
chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models)
during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may
I
become hot. I
Power Failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwise to ignite. After burner lights, turn knob to
setting.

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 burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to "General Cleaning" section.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. 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.
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
• Center the canner on the grate.
• Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
• For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the
cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is afactor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.

OVENUSE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-
ventilated room.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or
cookware.
• On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover
the oven bottom vents.
• Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to
move freely for best cooking results.
• To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least W' (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
RACKS
NOTES:
• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not move racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.

On models without a temperature probe, use a meat
thermometer to determine doneness of meat, poultry and fish.
The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to
determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with
this appliance.
• Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
• After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat
1/2"(1.3 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops,
cook the meat or poultry longer.
• Check all meat, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places.
The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows
the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or
covering oven vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting
cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other
items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
A. Oven vent cap
The oven automatically regulates the heat levels and both the top
and bottom elements cycle on and off accordingly during preheat
and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal
cooking results.
To Bake or Roast:
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 it is recommended in the recipe.
1. Press BAKE.
Press the TEMP '%" or "-" arrow pads to enter a temperature
other than 350°F (175°C). Press the "+" or "-" pads to raise or
lower the temperature in 5°F/5°C increments.
2= Press START.
A preheat time will count down, and "PrE" will appear on the
display. The oven control automatically sets preheating times
based on the oven temperature you select.
When the actual oven temperature is reached, the set
temperature will replace "PrE" on the display.
When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 tone will sound.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
The temperature can be changed anytime after pressing START.
10
Preheating
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,
baking soda and eggs.
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control
when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
• For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (provided on some
models). It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter
and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See "Assistance or Service" section to order. Ask for
Part Number 4396923.
• For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
• Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
• After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
To Broil:
Before broiling, position the rack according to the Broiling Chart.
Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the
center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in,
unless recommended in the recipe. Close the door.
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.
2. Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the display until the
oven is turned off.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
To Change Broil Temperature:
When custom broiling, changing the temperature allows more
precise control. The lower the temperature, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL. "500°F '' will appear on the display.
Press the TEMP "+" or "-" arrow pads to enter a temperature
other than 500°F (260°C). The broil range can be set between
300°F and 525°F (149°C and 274°C). "HI" will appear instead
of 525°F (274°C).
2. Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display
until the oven is turned off.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil
burner. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted
for individual foods and tastes. It is recommended that food be
turned approximately two-thirds of the way through the total
cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to determine the
doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature in 2 or 3
places.
Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1)
to the top (4). Do not use position 5. For diagram, see the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
