USINGYOURRANGE
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.
Your range comes with electric ignitors. Electric
ignitors automatically light the burners each time
you turn the control knobs to LIGHT.
• Place a filled pan on the burner grate before
turning on the surface burner. Do not operate a
burner for extended periods of time without
having cookware on the grate.
• Push in the control knob and turn it counter-
clockwise to the
LIGHT position. The
clicking sound is the
ignitor sparking. Make
sure the burner has lit.
• To stop the clicking
sound after the burner
lights, turn the control
knob to the cook
setting you want. You
can set the control
knob anywhere between HIGH and LOW.
NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same
time. However, the burner with the control knob
turned to LIGHT is the one that will ignite.
Use the following chart as a guide.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
LIGHT • To light the burner.
POWERTMBurner • To provide highest heat
.......(!e_ fr0nt burner )...................................................setting: .............................................................................................................................................................................................................

• To cook large amounts of
vegetables.
LOW • To keep food warm.
• To simmer.
ACCUSlMMERTM • To provide lowest
setting simmer/heat setting.
(right rear burner) • To melt chocolate or butter.
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The
cookware could overheat, causing damage to the
cookware or cooking product.

POWER Burner is an adjustable setting for the left
front burner which provides an ultra-high heat setting.
It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to
cook large quantities of food.
ACCUSIMMER is an adjustable setting for the right
rear burner. It allows more accurate simmer control at
the lowest setting.
• To help shorten your cooking time, use the least
amount of liquid possible.
• Preheat your pots and pans only when
recommended and for the shortest time possible.
• Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn
the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.

You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit
match near a burner and turn the control knob to
the LIGHT position. After the burner lights, turn the
control knob to the setting you want.
• Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.
For up-to-date information on canning, contact your
local U.S. Government Agricultural Department
Extension Office or companies who manufacture
home canning products.
The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure
canners combined with high heat settings for long
periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:
• Center the canner over the surface burner. Do
not extend more than 1 inch outside the burner
area.
• Do not place your canner on two surface burners
at the same time.
• Start with hot water, cover with a lid and bring to
a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or
required pressure levels in a pressure canner.
• The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides,
and a well-fitting lid.
• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)
cookware.
• The pan material (metal or glass) affects how
quickly and evenly the pan heats.
• When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to
make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.
• To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are
centered on the grates.
The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. They
are designed to drain extra juices from the
cooking surface. This drainage helps prevent
spatter and smoke.
• To make sure the juices drain well, do not cover
the grid with foil.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the fat
on the edges to prevent curling.
• Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.
• Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning
or removing food.
• 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.

Use the storage drawer to store cookware. You can
remove the drawer to make it easier to clean under
the range.
1, Empty the drawer before you remove it. Pull the
drawer straight out to the first stop. (The stops
are small, round objects formed in the slide rail.
They keep the drawer from sliding all the way
out.) Then lift the front of the drawer and pull it
out to the second stop.
2, Lift the back of the drawer slightly and slide it all
the way out.
1, Position the drawer so that the lower drawer
guides rest just inside the front frame lip.
2, Lift the front of the drawer and push it in until
the metal stops on the drawer slide rails clear
the upper drawer guides. Then slide the drawer
closed.

USINGTHESELF-CLEANINGCYCLE
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling
dangerous fumes.
' iJ'iiil; !iIi iiiii,i!iii''¸
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make
sure you:
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket.
You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.
• Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get
hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for
soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent
or a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.
• Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door
and frame.
• Remove the broiler pan and grid and any
cookware/bakeware being stored in the oven.
• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help
reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
• Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as
possible after the oven cools down. When sugar
is heated to a high temperature in the Self-
Cleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause
the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain.
This can cause staining and etching, pitting, or
faint white spots.
• Remove the oven racks from the oven if you
want them to remain shiny. You can clean the
oven racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they
will become harder to slide. (See the "Cleaning
chart" in the "Caring for Your Range" section.) If
you clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle,
place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The
guides are counted from bottom to top.)
• Heat and odors are normal during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated
by opening a window or by turning on a vent
hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Move birds to another closed and
well ventilated room.
TIPS:

Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the
Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors,
and smoke.
• Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and
results in more smoke than usual.
• Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.
• Remove any combustible items, such as paper
napkins, from the storage drawer. This includes
utensils with plastic handles that can become
overheated and melt.
• Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They
may melt.
• Do not leave any foil in the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and
damage the oven surface.
• The oven light will not work during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn
away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven
gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or
broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease
and burns it away.

• You should routinely remove and clean the burner
cap. Always clean the burner cap after a spill-over.
Keeping the burner cap clean prevents improper
ignition and an uneven flame.
• For the proper flow of gas and ignition of the
burner, do not allow spills, food, cleaning
agents, or any other material to enter the gas
tube opening.
• Gas must flow freely through the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. You must
keep this area free of any soil and protect it from
boilovers or spillovers. Always keep the burner
cap in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
• Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.
• Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust
removers.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
• Be careful not to allow moisture to collect in the
control areas. Moisture can cause the ignitor
switches to fail.
• Occasionally check the burner flames for proper
