•See installation instructions for details.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR OR WALL, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: 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 also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
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. 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 power before servicing.
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.
For self-cleaning ranges –
Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and other utensils. Wipe off all excessive spillage before initiating the cleaning cycle.

COOKTOP USE
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 igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to IGNITE.
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:
1.Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to IGNITE will produce a flame.
2.Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
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.

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 avoid 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. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube by always using a burner cap.

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.
4.Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap.

Cookware
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.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
