Important Safety Instructions
Wear proper apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not use water or flour on grease fires—Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to
turn off the main gas shutoff valve.
Use only dry potholders—Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
Do not heat unopened food containers—Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is
to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the oven off. If the oven is not turns off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.
Use proper flame size—Adjust flame
size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil. The use of undersize utensils will exposed a
portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
flame will also improve efficiency.
Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on
a 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.
Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance
for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long
period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit. Always turn the knob to the LITE position when
igniting the burners. Visually check that burner has lit.
Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface burner to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
the surface burner will also improve efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners—To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of
the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or short circuit.
Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for rangetop use.
Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to
the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and
cause combustion problems.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop—If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Clean cooktop glass with caution—If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Use care when opening oven door or warmer drawer (if
equipped)—Stand to the side of the range when opening
the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before
you remove or replace food in the oven/ warmer drawer.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is
located at the rear of the cooktop. Touching the surfaces in
this area when the oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on
or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
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 trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped)
racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. If rack must
be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pan
and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the broiler.
Do not cover broiler insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.
Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are
flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the
hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in this
Use and Care Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove all
utensils or foods from the oven.
Do not use oven cleaners—No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should
be used in or around any part of the oven.
Do not clean door gasket—The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or move the gasket.
Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of the range. Move the birds to another well
ventilated room.

Setting Surface Controls
Do not place plastic items
such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders or plastic wrappings on top of
the range when it is in use. These items
could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or
wood spoons could catch fire if placed too
close to a flame.
In the event of an electrical power outage,
the surface burners can be lit manually. To
light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the
burner head, then slowly turn the surface
control knob to LITE. After burner lights
push in and turn knob to desired setting. Use
caution when lighting surface burners
manually.
Figure 1
Operating the Gas Surface Controls:
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of the
OFF position (See Figure 1).
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four electronic
surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you
are turning on will ignite.
4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.
5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The
control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob
indicator settings to adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the
surface control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will
continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position.)
Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
For most cooking
, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower
one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for
determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type
of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for cooking.
*Flame Size Type of Cooking
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
*These settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum
pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. The
color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear,
blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be
steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the
pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame
wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned by the
flame (Figure 2).
For deep fat frying,
use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If
the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be
undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food
will neither brown nor cook properly.

Surface cooking
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should
have flat bottoms that
make good contact
with the entire surface
heating element.
Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the
cookware (See Figure
1). Be sure to follow
the recommendations
for using cookware as
shown in Figure 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used
will influence the setting needed for best
cooking results.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Some utensils were not made to be used in
the oven or on the cooktop.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be
used but must conform to the above recommended cookware
requirements.
CORRECT
Flat bottom and straight
sides.
Tight fitting lids.
Weight of handle does not tilt
pan. Pan is well balanced.
Pan sizes match the amount
of food to be prepared.
Made of material that con-
ducts heat well.
Easy to clean.
INCORRECT
Curved and warped pan bottoms.
Pan overhangs burner grate by
more than 2.5 cm (1”).
Heavy handle tilts pan.
Flame extends beyond pan.
Figure 2
Figure 1
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a
metal ring that extends beyond the burner
circumference. Because this ring traps heat,
the surface unit and cooktop surface could
be damaged.
Using a wok
Woks
with flat bottoms suitable for use on
your cooktop are available in most
cookshop or hardware stores. Round-
bottomed woks (with a support ring that
does not extend beyond the burner
circumference) may also be used. The
metal ring was designed to support the wok
safely when it is filled with large amounts of
liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).
Wire trivets:
Do not use wire trivets.
Cookware bottoms must be in direct
contact with the grates.

Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch
each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must
circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around
the food.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE
OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE
OVEN). Always use oven mitts when the oven is
hot.

Cooking Informations
Broiling
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the
oven. A beep lets you know when the broil temperature is reached. Be sure you center the
broiler pan directly under the broil burner for best results.
Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position the rack as needed.
Broiler pan and its insert allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat
of the broiler. DO NOT use a pan without its insert. DO NOT cover the insert with foil.
The exposed grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the
fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water
or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread and
cause personal injury.
To set for broiling
Refer to the Timer Guide
Broiler Clean-Up Tips (some models)
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover
the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as
cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off
grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel
wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.

Care & Cleaning
Oven Cleaning
Cleaning the Self-Clean Oven (some models)
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
- Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
- Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave
small children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push CANCEL
pad. Wait until the oven is cool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT
clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or move the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the gasket. Doing so could damage it. DO NOT
use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. This may affect cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely
or reduce it to a fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth.
Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Remove all excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-
cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers
can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO
NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration).
These areas heat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on.
Clean with soap and water.
3. Remove all utensils and any foil from the oven. These items do not with-
stand high cleaning temperatures
4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through
the clean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is com-
pleted and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper
or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil. This will make
the racks glide easier.
What to Expect During Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of
metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear
through the oven vent, located on the top of the control panel.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is
normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colorless vapor.
Setting the Controls for Self-Clean Cycle
To set the clean cycle, refer to the Electronic Oven Control Guide.

How to Clean
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To
remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth.
Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before
wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the
controls may cause damage to the appliance. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may
occur during heating and cannot de removed. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat
sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners
may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. DO NOT spray liquids directly on the control pad and
display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess water on the control
area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, or paper towels - they will damage the finish. To remove control knobs, turn to the
OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up
the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Clean with hot, soapy water and dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and cloth. Do not use
cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh scrubbing
cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel.
Always be sure to rinse the cleaners off from the surface as bluish stains may occur during
heating that cannot be removed.
Remove racks. See "To remove and to replace an oven rack" under Oven vent(s) and racks.
Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and
dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a
small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution
of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper
towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-
filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain
may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You
may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in
water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT
use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside
of the oven door.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on
Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove this gasket.
See
Cleaning the Cooktop, Burner Caps, Burner Heads & Grates
in the General Care &
Cleaning section for complete instructions.
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range

To Remove and Replace the Surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads - Remove
in the following order: (1st) surface Burner Grates, (2nd) Burner Caps and (3rd) Burner
Heads. Replace in the following order: Burner Heads, Burner Caps and Burner Grates.
Do not remove any parts from the cooktop until they have completely cooled
and are safe to handle. Do not operate the surface Burners without the Burner
Caps and Burner Heads properly in place.
To Clean the surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads (all models)- Use a soap-
filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean the surface Burner Caps and
Burner Heads. The ports (or slots) around the Burner Heads must be routinely
cleaned. If residue still remains in these ports, use a small-gauge wire or needle to
clean the slots or holes. For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner—DO NOT
ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO
ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING. ALWAYS keep the surface Burner
Caps and Burner Heads in place whenever the gas Burners are in use.
To Clean the Burner Grates- The Burner Grates are dishwasher safe and may be
cleaned in the dishwasher. Remove any excessive soils before placing in the
dishwasher.
To Clean the Ceramic Glass Cooktop- See Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning &
Maintenance later in this section.
Cleaning the Cooktop, Burner Heads, Caps & Grates
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the gas Burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers
are cleaned up immediately.
The cooktop, Burner Heads and Caps should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the Burner Head Ports clean will prevent improper
ignition and an uneven flame. Refer to the following instructions:
Use caution when replacing the Burner Caps so the Electrodes are not damaged. This may cause a
delayed ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.
THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.
THE FIXED OVEN VENT IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the fixed oven vent cover.
Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of cooktop cleaning cream. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad
(such as a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge). This will make cleaning easier when soiled from
cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These
marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can
become permanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide
anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop,
they may cause it to crack.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue
Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly,
leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a 3M Scotch-Brite®
Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the sponge you use to clean the
cooktop for any other purpose.
Care & Cleaning
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper,
holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened
soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use
any scrub pad other than a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No
Scratch Scrub Sponge.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted
onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of
the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning
the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula
with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow
the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on
soils.
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and
some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more
difficult to clean.
Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or
oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave
soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.
Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
Aluminum foil
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any
circumstances.
Aluminum utensils
Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other
metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used.
Pans that boil dry may permanently damage cooktop by breaking,
fusing to, or marking it.
Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (Stainless Steel models only)
Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the
appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the General Care & Cleaning section
in this Use & Care Guide.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
(1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust
leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is level, cooktop may appear out of
alignment if countertop is not level. (2) Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can
adequately support range. Contact a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor. (3) Kitchen
cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square and have
sufficient room for range clearance.
(1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the problem. (2)
Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (3) Carpeting interferes with range. Provide
sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet. (4) Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a flexible C.S.A
international approved metal appliance connector installed.
(1) Make sure cord/plug is tightly into outlet. (2) Service wiring is not complete. Call service (See
warranty information). (3) Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local
electric company for service. Surface burners can be lit manually.
(1) Surface control knob has not been completely turned to LITE. Push in and turn the surface
control knob to LITE until burner ignites and then turn the surface control knob to the desired flame
size. (2) Burner ports are clogged. Clean burners. See “Cleaning the Burner Grates, Burner Caps
and Burner Heads” under General Cleaning. (3) Range power is disconnected from outlet. Be sure
cord is securely plugged into the outlet. (4) Electrical power outage. (5) Be sure the gas supply to the
range is turned “ON”.
(1) Burner ports are clogged. With the burner off, clean ports by using a small-gauge wire or needle.
(2) Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly fan the flame and allow burner to operate until flame is
full. Dry the burners thoroughly following instructions in the "General Care & Cleaning" section.
(1) Dust particles in main line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns blue. (2)
Salt air in coastal areas. A slightly orange flame is unavoidable.
(1) Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches. Be sure
cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking
and will become less visible with time. (2) Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop
have been used. See “Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance” section under General Care &
Cleaning. (3) Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.
