To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must
be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See
installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete
details before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the
range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be
reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason,
always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly
secured by the anti-tip bracket.
For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely remove
the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip
device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase,
call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call
1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket,

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California
to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas
or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

■ Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air
circulation.
■ Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging
material ignite.
■ Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be
used. Your range can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation
of the range section.
■ WARNING: These adjustments
must be made by a qualified service
technician in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and all codes
and requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualified agency performing
this work assumes responsibility for the
conversion.
■ After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of
use. Never install the range over vinyl tile
or linoleum that cannot withstand such type
of use. Never install it directly over interior
kitchen carpeting.
■ Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door, storage drawer, warming
drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
■ CAUTION: Items of interest
to children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of
a range—children climbing on the range
to reach items could be seriously injured.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited
if brought in contact with flame or hot oven
surfaces and may cause severe burns.
■ Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
a range storage drawer, a warming drawer
or near a cooktop.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with a
well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ Flame in the oven or warming drawer can
be smothered completely by closing the oven
door and turning the control to off or by using
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
■ Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
■ Never block the vents (air openings) of
the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air openings
are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the
top and bottom of the oven door, and at the
bottom of the range under the warming
drawer, kick panel or storage drawer.
■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can
lead to broken or shattered glass.

SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough
to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations
of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can
be easily grasped and remain cool.
■ Always use the LITE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
■ Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
■ Adjust the top burner flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot
holder.
■ When using glass cookware, make sure
it is designed for top-of-range cooking.
■ To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and spillage,
turn cookware handles toward the side or
back of the range without extending over
adjacent burners.
■ Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
■ Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
■ If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
■ Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
■ Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
■ Do not use a wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner grate to support
the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap,
which may damage the burner grate and
burner head. Also, it may cause the burner
to work improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
■ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
■ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
■ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
■ Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
■ To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
■ If range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and create a fire hazard.
■ If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
■ Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
■ Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead
to damage and improper operation
of the range.

■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Place the oven racks in the desired position
while the oven is cool.
■ Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest
position is not designed to slide.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■ Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in
the oven except as described in this manual.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage
to the range.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■ Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
■ Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens.
■ Always remove any broiler pan from range
as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in
the pan can catch fire if oven is used without
removing the grease from the broiler pan.
■ When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,
the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
■ Make sure any broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
■ If you should have a grease fire in a broiler
pan, touch the Clear/Off pad, and keep
the oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out.
■ For safety and proper cooking performance,
always bake and broil with the oven door
closed.
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape
can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
OVEN
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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.

■ The purpose of the warming drawer
is to hold hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food;
cold food cannot be heated or cooked
in the warming drawer.
■ Do not use the warming drawer to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they can catch
on fire.
■ Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the warming drawer when not
in use.
■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings
in or near your warming drawer.
■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your warming drawer.
■ Do not warm food in the warming drawer
for more than two hours.
■ Do not touch the heating element or the
interior surface of the warming drawer.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
■ REMEMBER: The inside surface of the warming
drawer may be hot when the drawer is
opened.
■ Use care when opening the drawer. Open the
drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food. Hot air or
steam which escapes can cause burns to
hands, face and/or eyes.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer.
Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will
trap heat beneath it. This will upset the
performance of the drawer and it could
damage the interior finish.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are placed
in their respective positions.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to the LITE position.
You will hear a little clicking noise—
the sound of the electric spark igniting
the burner.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue
to click.
When one burner is turned to LITE,
all the burners spark. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner
while another burner is on. An electric shock
may result, which could cause you to knock
over hot cookware.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to the LITE position.

Before Lighting a Gas Burner After Lighting a Gas Burner
■ Drip pans are supplied with your range;
they should be used at all times.
■ Make sure all burners are in place.
■ Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any burner.
■ Do not operate the burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
■ Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials
on them.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has four sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience
and flexibility to be used in a wide range
of cooking applications.
The smallest burner in the right rear position
is the simmer burner. This burner can be
turned down to a very low simmer setting.
It provides precise cooking performance for
delicate foods such as sauces or foods that
require low heat for a long cooking time.
The medium (left rear and, on some models,
left front) and the large (right front and, on
some models, left front) burners are the
primary burners for most cooking. These
general-purpose burners can be turned down
from HI to LO to suit a wide range of cooking
needs.
NOTE: On some models, the burners are all
the same size and power.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the
flames extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce
heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame
size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using.
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating
of the cookware and could be hazardous.

Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware
is recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in
an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with
tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware—those for oven use only and those
for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee
and teapots). Glass conducts heat very
slowly.
Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts
heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check
cookware manufacturer’s directions to be
sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily
if they are used with medium heat
as the manufacturer recommends.
Stove Top Grills (on models with sealed burners)
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas
burners. If you use the stove top grill on the
sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposure to
carbon monoxide levels above allowable
current standards.
This can be hazardous to your health.
Wok This Way (on models with sealed burners)
We recommend that you use a 14″ or smaller
flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom
sits flat on the grate. They are available at
your local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support
ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate
may cause the burner to work improperly,
resulting in carbon monoxide levels above
allowable standards. This could be dangerous
to your health.
In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light
the gas surface burners on your range with
a match. Hold a lit match to the burner,
then push in and turn the control knob
to the LITE position. Use extreme caution
when lighting burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to operate
normally.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear
of the range. Do not block these ducts when
cooking in the oven—it is important that the
flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air
to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid
touching the vent openings or nearby
surfaces during oven or broiler operation—
they may become hot.
■ Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop
may become hot if left too close to the vent.
■ Do not leave plastic or flammable items on
the cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left
too close to the vent.
■ Do not leave closed containers on the
cooktop. The pressure in closed containers
may increase, which may cause them
to burst.
■ Metal items will become very hot if they are
left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.
Plastic items on the cooktop may melt
if left too close to the vent.
Vent appearance and location vary.
Using the oven.
Before you begin…
The racks have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the rack supports
(A through E), they will stop before coming
completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out to the bump on the
rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the rack in.
NOTE: The rack is not designed to slide out
at the special low rack (R) position.
The oven has 5 rack positions.
It also has a special low rack position (R)
for extra large items, such as a large
turkey.
Power Outage
CAUTION: Do not make any
attempt to operate the electric ignition oven
during an electrical power failure.
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during
a power failure. Gas will not flow unless
the glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power failure
occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot
be relit until power is restored. This is because
the flow of gas is automatically stopped
and will not resume when power is restored
until the glow bar has reached operating
temperature.

Touch the Oven Light On/Off pad on
the upper control panel to turn the light
on or off.

Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Baking or Roasting
Your oven is not designed for open-door
cooking.
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the number pads to set
the desired temperature.
Touch the START pad.
The word ON and 100° will be displayed.
As the oven heats up, the display will show
the changing temperature. When the oven
reaches the temperature you set, a tone
will sound.
To change the oven temperature during
BAKE cycle, press the BAKE pad and then
the number pads to get the new temperature.
Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when
cooking is complete.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary
when convection baking and for good
results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
Baking results will be better if foods are
centered in the oven as much as possible.
Pans should not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
For best results when baking four cake layers
at a time, use racks B and D. Place the lower
pans at the back of the rack and the upper
pans at the front of the rack as shown so that
one pan is not directly above another leaving
approximately 1-1/2″ between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the walls.
The oven has a special low rack (R)
position just above the oven bottom.
Use it when extra cooking space is
needed, for example, when cooking
a large turkey. The rack is not designed
to slide out at this position.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom
of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch
a spillover by placing it on a lower rack
several inches below the food.
Type of Food Rack Position
Angel food cake A or C
Bundt or pound cakes A or C
Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C
cookies, cupcakes,
layer cakes, pies
Casseroles B or C
Pies – On cookie sheet B or C
Roasting R or A
4-Layer cakes B & D
When baking on a single rack, use
the rack position from the chart for
your type of food. Baking results will
be better if baking pans are centered
in the oven as much as possible.
When baking four cake layers at a time,
use racks B and D. Place the lower pans
at the back of the rack and the upper
pans to the front of the rack shown
so that one pan is not directly above
another.

Broiling Guide
Using the oven.
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
NOTE: On models with an OVEN TEMP knob, turn
it to BROIL.
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid
in a broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions
in the Broiling Guide.
The oven door must be closed during
broiling.
Touch the Broil Hi/Lo pad once for
Hi Broil.
To change to Lo Broil, touch the
Broil Hi/Lo pad again.
Touch the Start/On pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
Clear/Off pad.
Serve the food immediately, and leave the
pan outside the oven to cool during the meal
for easiest cleaning.
Use Lo Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
overbrowning them.

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat
yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained
in memory after a power failure.

as you would normally.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the
broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. It will
be retained in memory after a power failure.
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat).
If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads,
on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70%
vegetable oil.
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

To decrease the oven temperature,
move the top screw toward the left.
Each click will change the oven
temperature approximately 10°F. (Range
is plus or minus 60°F from the arrow.)
We suggest that you make the

Using the warming drawer. (on some models)
When Using the Warming Drawer
The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked
foods at serving temperature. Always start
with hot food. Do not use to heat cold
food other than crisping crackers, chips
or dry cereal.
Do not line the warming drawer with
aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat
insulator and will trap heat beneath it.
This will upset the performance of the
drawer and could damage the interior
finish.
■ Preheat prior to use according to these
recommended times:
Setting Lo . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .15 minutes
Setting Medium . . . . . . . . . . . . . .25 minutes

■ Do not put liquid or water in the warming
drawer.
■ For moist foods, cover them with a lid
or aluminum foil.
■ For crisp foods, leave them uncovered.
■ Food should be kept hot in its cooking
container or transferred to a heat-safe
serving dish.
CAUTION: Plastic containers or
plastic wrap will melt if in direct contact with
the drawer or a hot utensil. Melted plastic may
not be removable and is not covered under
your warranty.
■ Remove serving spoons, etc., before
placing containers in warming drawer.
Control Knob (on models equipped with a knob)
Push and turn the control knob to any desired
setting.
NOTE: The warming drawer should not

For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the racks, any broiler pan, broiler
grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
The oven racks can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus
the high clean cycle temperatures may
damage the porcelain finish of the oven.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas

Burner Grates
Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water. When replacing the grates,
be sure they are positioned securely over
the burners.
On models with professional-style double
grates, the grates are position-specific. For
maximum stability, these grates should only
be used in their proper position; they cannot
be interchanged left to right or front to back.
For convenience, the undersides of the left
and right grates are marked “LEFT FRONT”
and “RIGHT FRONT.”
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the grate.
The finish on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates
in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia
and let them soak several hours or overnight.
Wash, rinse well and dry.
Although they are durable, the grates
will gradually lose their shine, regardless
of the best care you can give them. This
is due to their continual exposure to high
temperatures. You will notice this sooner
with lighter color grates.
NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning
oven.
The electrode of the spark igniter is
exposed when the burner head is
removed. When one burner is turned
to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not
attempt to disassemble or clean
around any burner while another
burner is on. An electric shock may
result, which could cause you to
knock over hot cookware.

Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain-enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills right
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot
if allowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash and
rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water once the surface
has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry
cloth.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed
burner models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to
damage and improper operation of the range.
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials
in an oven or near the cooktop. Do not
store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface,
use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel
cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in
the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface.

Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the
oven door, and at the bottom of the range,
under the warming drawer, storage drawer
or kick panel (depending on the model).
Vent appearance and location vary.
Lift-Up Cooktop (on models with standard twin burners)
Clean the area under the cooktop often.
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch
on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be
lifted up.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed
burner models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to
damage and improper operation of the range.
To raise the cooktop:
Be sure the burners are turned off.
Remove the grates.
Grasp the two front burner wells
and lift up.
Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy
water and a clean cloth. If you removed
your surface burners while cleaning, make
sure they are properly seated when replacing
them.
After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be careful
not to pinch your fingers).
Some models have dual support rods
that will hold the cooktop up while you
clean underneath it.
Care and cleaning of the range.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy.
You may need help removing and replacing
the door.
To remove the door, open it a few inches
to the special stop position that will hold the
door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift
the door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between
the hinge and the oven door frame since
the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges
are in the special stop position. Position
the slots in the bottom of the door squarely
over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly
and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If the hinges snap back against
the oven frame, pull them back out.
To clean the inside of the door:
■ Do not allow excess water to run into
any holes or slots in the door .
■ Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you
do not need to clean this by hand. Any
soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
■ The area outside the gasket can be
cleaned with a soap-filled scouring pad.
To clean the outside of the door:
■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean
the top, sides and front of the oven door.
Rinse well. You may also use a glass
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside
of the door.
■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When the
surface is cool, clean and rinse.
■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel
finish. To make cleaning easier, protect
the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the
rack you are cooking on. This is particularly
important when baking a fruit pie or other
foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit
fillings or other foods that are highly acidic
(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauces
with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause
pitting and damage to the porcelain-enamel
surface and should be wiped up immediately.
We don’t recommend using aluminum foil
on the oven bottom. It can affect airflow if the
holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat
at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor
baking performance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring
pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before
self-cleaning.
Lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.
The gasket is designed with a gap
at the bottom to allow for proper
air circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—
it has an extremely low resistance to
abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or if it
has become displaced on the door,
you should have it replaced.

LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supply fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by
carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and
can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl
or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type
of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and
inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at
the front of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with plywood to the same level
or higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will
withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range.
(See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners
are properly seated and level.
Lift up the cooktop (on models with standard twin
burners) and remove any packing material under it.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose
during shipping.
Installation Instructions
36
WARNING!
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must
be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See
installation instructions shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop
the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must
be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any
reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range
is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely
remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured
to the anti-tip device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no
cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation
instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com
(in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).
■ For your safety, never use your range for warming
or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not
designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should
not be operated without cookware on the grate. Such
abuse could result in fire and damage to your range
and will void your warranty.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires
could result.
■ Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored
in the oven can ignite.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range
.
37
Installation Instructions
PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4″
of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propane or butane), 10″ of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type
of gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas.
If you decide to use this range on LP gas, conversion must
be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to
operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied
to the regulator must be between 4″ and 13″ of water
column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10″
and 13″ of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the
inlet pressure must be at least 1″ greater than the operating
(manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
manifold must remain in the supply line regardless
of whether natural or LP gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2″ and
be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible
connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer
than 6 feet in length.
1
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hookup has
been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other
gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range.
If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align
the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection
is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe-joint compound on, or wrap
pipe-thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external)
pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line
in an easily accessed location outside of the range.
Make sure everyone operating the range knows where
and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
B. Install male 1/2″ flare union adapter to the 1/2″ NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench
on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
B. When installing the range from the front, remove the 90°
elbow for easier installation.
C. Install male 1/2″ or 3/4″ flare union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care
to back up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
E. When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn on
the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check for leaks in
the system.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate
the range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off valve.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker
or time-delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safety hazards associated with certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of
an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord
and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes
be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE
THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
A word about GFCIs – GFCIs are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are devices that
sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically
switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected.
These devices must be manually reset by the consumer.
The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCIs in
kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces.
Performance of the range will not be affected if operated
on a GFCI-protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping
of the GFCI breaker is possible.
3
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
A. Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord Will
Be Disconnected Infrequently.
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit.
Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local
codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be
made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by
the use of a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware
stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide
proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done,
the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with
repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
3
Preferred Method
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
Temporary Method
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use
Align large prongs/slots
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal,
and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The customer should have
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
B. Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord Will
Be Disconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because
disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on
the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter
ground terminal. The customer should have the 2-prong
wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the
appliance.
The installation of appliances designed for mobile
home installation must conform with the Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,
Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or,
when such standard is not applicable, the Standard
for Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition
(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups),
ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada,
mobile home installation must be in accordance with the
current CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.
Electric Disconnect
■ Locate disconnect plug on the range back.
■ Pinch sides of connector and pull out of range back.
3
CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE
BURNERS
Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be checked
after the range and gas supply lines have been carefully
checked for leaks.
Electric Ignition Models
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in and turn
to LITE position. You will hear a clicking sound indicating proper
operation of the spark module. Once the air has been purged
from the supply lines, burners should light within 4 seconds.
After burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE position. Try
each burner in succession until all burners have been checked.
Quality of Flames
The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be
determined visually.
If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal burner
flames should look like (B) or (C), depending on the type of gas
you use.
With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.
(C) Soft blue

SEAL THE OPENINGS
Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and
in the floor under the range when hookups are completed.
4
CHECK IGNITION OF OVEN BURNER
The oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically.
To operate the oven, press the Bake pad and then press the
number pads until 350° appears in the display. Touch the
Start/On pad. After 30–90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite
and burn until the set temperature is reached. The oven burner
will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to maintain
the oven at the temperature indicated by the display.
To check ignition of the broil burner, touch the Broil Hi/Lo pad
and then the Start/On pad. After 30–90 seconds, the broil
burner will ignite.
Electric ignition models require electrical power to operate.
In case of a power outage, the oven burners on these models
cannot be lit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless
the glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the burner will
shut off and cannot be relit until power is restored.

Installation Instructions
LEVELING THE RANGE
A. Install the oven racks in the oven and position
the range where it will be installed.
B. Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or a cup,
partially filled with water, on one of the oven racks.
If using a spirit level, take two readings—with the level
placed diagonally first in one direction and then
the other.
C. Remove the storage drawer or kick panel. See the Care
and cleaning of the range section. The front leveling legs
can be adjusted from the bottom and the rear legs can
be adjusted from the top or the bottom.
D. Use an open-end or adjustable wrench to adjust
the leveling legs until the range is level.
E. After the range is level, slide the range away from
the wall so that the Anti-Tip device can be installed.
8
ADJUST BROIL AND OVEN BURNER
AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTERS
IF NECESSARY
Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burners
regulate the flow of air to the flames.
The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil) burner is
in the center of the rear wall of the oven.
The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near the back
wall behind the warming drawer, storage drawer or kick
panel. Remove the drawer or panel. See the Care and cleaning
of the range section.
To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the
Phillips-head screw and rotate the shutter toward open
or closed position as needed.
The flames for the top (broil) burner should be steady with
approximately 1″ blue cones and should not extend out
over the edges of the burner baffle.
To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning
properly, remove the oven bottom. Flames should have
approximately 1″ blue cones and, if range is supplied with
natural gas, should burn with no yellow tipping. (With most
LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer cones are
normal.) Flames should not lift off burner ports. If lifting is
observed, gradually reduce air shutter opening until flames
are stabilized.
