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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm,

and requires businesses to warn customers of

potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances 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 further by venting with an open window or

using a ventilation fan or hood.

When You Get Your Range

• Have the installer show you the location of the

range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off

if necessary.

• Have your range installed and properly grounded

by a qualified installer in accordance with the

Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service

should be performed only by qualified gas range

installers or service technicians.

• Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet

only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from

the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home

electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with

a properly grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance

with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an

extension cord with this appliance.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of

your range unless it is specifically recommended

in this manual. All other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician,

• Be sure all packing materials are removed from

the range before operating it to prevent fire or

smoke damage, should the packing material ignite.

° Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path and out

of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation,

• 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 rite or linoleum that cannot withstand

such type of use. Never install it directly over interior

kitchen carpeting.

° Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a

qualified 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

Instructions°

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.

&WARNING

All ranges can tip and injury could

result. To prevent accidental tipping

of the range, attach it to the wall and

floor by installingthe Anti-Tip device

supplied.

If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the

(_ range does not fit this application, use

the universal Anti-Tip device WB2X7909.

Call 1-800_4-MY-HOME_,

To check if the device is installed and

engaged properly, open the broiler

compartment and inspect the rear leveling

leg. Make sure it fits securely in the slot,

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason,

make sure the device is properly engaged when you push

the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a

possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if

you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door. Please

refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual.

Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of

the range and injury°

Using Your Range

• Do not leave children alone or unattended where

a range is hot or in operation° They could be

seriously burned

• Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can

lead to broken or shattered glass.

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.

, Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on

the door, broiler compartment or cooktop. They

could damage the range and even tip it over, causing

severe personal injury°

• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where

children can reach them.

• Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching

for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop_

Flammable material could be ignited if brought

in contact with flames or hot oven surfaces and

may cause severe bums°

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up

a flaming pan. Turn the controls off Smother a

flaming pan on a surface unit 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..

° FIaming 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 can be smothered completely by

closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by

using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range broiler 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.

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°E

Cooking to these temperatures usually protects

against foodborne illness r

For your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

Surface Cooking

. 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 cook-ware.

Excessive flame is hazardous,

Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot holders

on hot surfaces may resuft in burns from steam

Do not let pot holders come near open flames

when lifting cookware. Do not use a towei or other

bulky cloth in place of a pot holder

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware

handles toward the side or back of the range without

letting them extend over adjacent burners

Always turn the surface burners to OFF before

removing cookware or the griddle.

Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame

setting.

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 broiler compartment.

Do not use a wok 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 alIowed by 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°

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.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating or as fats

melt slowly,

Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.

Use a deep-fat thermometer whenever possible

to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

Use proper pan size. Avoid pans that are unstable

or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms

large enough to properly contain food and avoid

boitovers and spillovers and large enough to cover

burner grates° This will both save cleaning time and

prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy

spattering or spitlovers left on the range can ignite.

Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped

and will remain cool.

Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead

to damage and improper operation of the range.

• When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed

for top of-range cookfngo

• Keep all plastics away from the top burners

• Do not leave plastic

items on the

cooktop--they may

melt if left too close

to the vent.

Vent appearance and location vary

• 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

• 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.

• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan

OFF° The fan, if operating, may spread the flames.

• If the range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the top 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

• Never leave the kitchen while using the griddle°

o Do not use aluminum foil to line the griddle. Misuse

could result in a fire hazard

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

= 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 shelves in the desired position

while the oven is cool.

• 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,

• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf-stop is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also

a precaution against burns that could result 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 range1

• Never use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.

Improper use of foil could start a fire and result in

high carbon monoxide.

, When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,

follow the manufacturer's directions

° Use only glass cookware that is recommended for

use in gas ovens.

• Always remove broiler pan from the range as soon

as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can

catch on 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 the broiler pan is in place correctly to

reduce the possibility of grease fires.

• If you should have a grease fire in the broiler pan,

turn the oven off and keep the broiler compartment and

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

Cleaning Your Range

• Clean only parts listed in this Use and

Care Guide.

° Keep the range clean and free of accumulations

of grease or spillovers, which may ignite.

• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead

to damage and improper operation of the range.

Surface Burner Controls

Knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are

marked as to which burners they control. The two knobs

on the left control the left front and left rear burners.

The two knobs on the right control the right front and

right rear burners. The center feft knob controls the

center oval burner,.

Before Lighting a Burner

o Make sure all burners and caps are in placeo

• Make sure all the grates (and the center griddle, if it is

going to be used) are in place on the range before

using any burner.

oThe center oval burner is the largest in size and is

for large oval pots/pans, round pots/pans 10" or

greater in diameter or with the griddle,.

• The side burners are all the same size and power.,

To Light a Surface Burner

Make sure all surface burners are placed in their

respective positions.

Push the control knob in and

turn it to t.ITE. 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,.

After Lighting a Burner

• After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust

the flame.,

• Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one

you want to use.

• 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.

• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you

place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other

materials on them.

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heal

When fast heating is desired, the flame size on a gas

burner should match the cookware you are using.

Use only large oval pots/pans, round pots/pans

10" or greater in diameter or the griddle on the

center burner..

FOR SAFE HANDLING OF _ .A

COOKWARE NEVER LET THE

FLAME EXTEND UP THE

SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. .

Any flame larger than the bottom

of the cookware wilt not result in faster heating of the

cookware and could be hazardous°

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface

burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match

to the burner, then turn the 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.

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 ofwater,,

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets wilf 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 siowty.

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,

Wok

We recommend that you

use a 14-inch or smatler

flat-bottomed wok, Make sure

the wok bottom sits fiat on the

grate. Only a fiat-bottomed wok should be used.

They are available at your local retail store..

Do not use a fiat-bottomed

wok on a support ring.

Placing the ring over the burner

grate may cause the burner to

work improperly, resulting in

carbon monoxide levels above

allowable standards. This could

be dangerous to your health,,

Stove Top Grills

Do not use stove top grills on

your gas burners_ If you use the

stove top grill on the gas burner,

it wilt cause incomplete

combustion and can result in

exposure to carbon monoxide

levels above allowable

standards, This can be

hazardous to your health,

Griddle

Use only the griddle shipped with your range. It is

specifically designed to operate with the center surface

burner of your range, See the griddle information in this

Use & Care Guide for proper use,

Griddle

Your non-stick coated

griddle provides an

extra-large cooking

surface for meats,

pancakes or other food

usually prepared in a frying pan or skillet.

NOTE: Your griddle will discolor over time as it becomes

seasoned with use.

How to Insert the Griddle

CAUTION: Place and remove the griddle

only when all grates and griddle are cool and all

surface units are turned OFF,

The griddle can only be used with the center burner and

must be locked into place on the center grate.

Place the "U" locks on the underside of the griddle over

the center fingers of the center grate.

Move the griddle back-and-forth to make sure it is locked

in place..

Underside of

Place the "U" locks onto the center fingers

on the center grate.

oDo not use oil on the griddle for extended lengths

of time., Permanent staining andtor craze lines on the

surface could result.

• Do not cook milk products (such as french toast) on the

griddle. Permanent staining and!or craze lines on the

surface could result..

, Never place or store any items on the griddle, even

when it is not in use.. The griddle can become heated

when using the surrounding burners.,

• Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the griddle

burner on at HI for an extended amount of time without

food can damage the non-stick coating.

Before Using Your Oven

Oven Shelves

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired

position before you turn the oven on,.

The shelves have

stop-locks so, when

placed correctly on the

shelf supports (A through

E), they will stop before

coming completely out;

they also will not tilt.

When placing and removing

cookware, pull the shelf out

to the bump on the shelf support.

To remove a shelf,

pull it toward you, tilt

the front end up and

pull it out.

To replace, place

the end of the shelf

(stop-locks) on the

support, tilt up the front

and push the shelf in,.

NOTE: The shelf Jsnot designed to

slide out at the special tow (R) shelf position.

Oven Contro!

Your oven is controlled by a single OVEN

CONTROL knob..

It will normally take 30-90 seconds before the flame

comes on_ After the oven reaches the selected

temperature, the oven burner repeatedly cycles--off

completely, then on with a futt flame--to maintain the

selected temperature,

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

giass_ These droplets are harmless and wilt evaporate as

the oven continues to heat up.

Oven Light

Use the switch on the lower control panel to turn the light

on or off.

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf

supports for baking and

roasting as shown in this

illustration--A (bottom),

B, C, D and E (top). It also

has a special low shelf

position (R) for roasting

extra large items, such as

a large turkey--the shelf

is not designed to slide out

at this position.. The shelf

positions for cooking are suggested

in the Baking and Roasting sections..

Oven Vents

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of

the range. Do not block these openings when cooking in

the oven--it is important that the flow of hot air from the

oven and fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.

• Avoid touching the vent openings and nearby

surfaces during oven or broiler operation.

They may become hot.

• Do not leave plastic

or flammable items

on the cooktop--

they may melt or

ignite if left too

close to the vent.

• Handles of pots and Ventappearanceandlocationvary

pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too

close to the vent.

• Metal items will become very hot if they are left

on the cooktop and could cause burns.

• Do not leave closed containers on the cooktop.

The pressure in closed containers may increase,

which may cause them to burst..

Baking

Your oven temperature is controlled using the latest

technology in oven control systems_ It is recommended

that you operate the oven for a number of weeks to

become familiar with your new oven's performance, tf you

think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the

Oven Thermostat section.

NOTE: Your oven is not designed for open-door cooking

How to Set Your Range for Baking

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the

correct position before you turn the oven on.

1. Close the oven door. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob

to the desired temperature.,

2. Check the food for doneness at the minimum time

on the recipe, Cook longer if necessary.

3. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and then

remove food_

Oven Shelves

Arrange the oven shelf

or shelves in the

desired locations while

the oven is cool. The

correct shelf position

depends on the kind of

food and the browning

desired. As a general

rule, place most foods

in the middle of the

oven, on either shelf position B or C. See the following

chart for suggested shelf positions,.

Type of Food Shelf Position

Angel food cake B

Biscuits or muffins B or C

Cookies or cupcakes B or C

Brownies B or C

Layer cakes C

Bundt or pound cakes B

Pies or pie shells B or C

Frozen pies A (on cookie sheet)

Casseroles B or C

Roasting B or R

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe ca{ts for it. Preheat means

bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before

putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at

the correct temperature--selecting a higher temperature

does not shorten preheat time.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking

cakes, cookies, pastry and breads For most casseroles

and roasts, preheating is not necessary. Preheat

10 minutes. After the oven is preheated place the food

in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from

escaping.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan

determines the amount of browning that will occur,

• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a

browner, crisper crust., Use this type for pies.

• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies

require this type of pan,r

• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking in

glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be

reduced by 25°F (t3°C).

- If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find that

you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F (13°C)

to prevent over-browning,

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be

enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results

will be better if baking pans are centered as much as

possible rather than being placed to the front or to the

back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the

oven. Allow 1- to 1½-inch (2.5- to 4-cm) space between

pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and

the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the

pans so one is not directly above the other..

Baking

(continued)

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven

bottom with aluminum

foil.

Never entirely cover a

shelf with aluminum foil.

This will disturb the heat

circulation and result in

poor baking., Aluminum foil

may also be used to catch

a spiliover., To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a lower

shelf several inches below the food.

Don't Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and

do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes

provide minimum and maximum baking times such as

"bake 30-40 minutes,,"

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time.

Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows

heat to escape and makes baking times longer Your

baking results may atso be affected.

Adjust the Oven Thermostat--

Do it Yourself!

You may feel that your new oven cooks differently

than the one it replaced. We recommend that you

use your new oven for a few weeks to become more

familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes

as a guide°

If you think your new oven is cooking too hot or too

cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself, If you

think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooiero

If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make it

hotter.

We do not recommend the use of thermometers,

such as those found in grocery stores, to check the

temperature setting of your new oven_ These

thermometers may vary 20-40°F (tl-22°C)_

To Adjust the Thermostat:

Pull the OVEN CONTROL knob off the range and look

at the back side.

TOmake adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn),

but do not completely remove, the top screw on the back

of the knob. With the back of the knob facing you, hold

the outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn the

front of the knob with the other hand.

Midpoint

The Type of Margarine Will Affect

Baking Performance

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 Iower 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

(appearance may vary)

To raise the oven temperature, move the top screw

toward the right, You'll hear a click for each notch you

move the knob, To lower the temperature, move the top

screw toward the left. Each click will change the oven

temperature approximately 10°F (6°C). Available

thermostat setting range is 60°F (33°C). [Plus or minus

30°F (16°C) from the factory set midpoint..]

We suggest that you make the adjustment one click from

the original setting and check oven performance before

making any additional adjustments

After the adjustment is made, rettghten screws so they

are snug, but be careful not to overtighten. Reinstall

knob on range and check performance.

Roasting

Roasting is cooking by dry heat,LTender meat or poultry

can be roasted uncovered in your oven,. Roasting

temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep

spattering to a minimum°

The oven has a special low

shelf position (R) just above

the oven bottom. Use it

when extra cooking space

is needed, for example,

when roasting a targe

turkey. The shelf is not

designed to slide out at

this position°

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats..

Therefore, the oven controls are set for Baking.. (You may

hear a slight cticking sound indicating the oven is working

properly)

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing after

being removed from the oven. Recommended standing

time for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows the roasts

to firm up and makes them easier to carve. The internal

temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F (3° to 6°C). If you

wish to compensate for the temperature rise, remove the

roast from the oven when its internal temperature is 5° to

10°F (3° to 6°C) less than the temperature shown in the

Roasting Guide.

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot

oven, even after it has been turned off, and should be

removed when the desired internal temperature has been

reached.

1. Position oven shelf at

position B for small

size roast (3 to 5 lbs.

[1.3 to 2.3 kg]) and at

position R for larger

roasts.

2. Check the weight of the

meat. Place the meat

fat-side-up or the poultry breast-side-up on roasting

grid in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the

meat,. Select a pan as close to the size of the meat

as possibteo (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan

for this°)

3. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired temperature

(you may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the

oven is working properly)° See the Roasting Guide for

temperatures and approximate cooking times_

4. When roasting is finished, turn the OVEN TEMP knob

to OFF and then remove the food from the oven.

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same

time° For example: While roasting a 20-tb,. (10 kg) turkey

on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped) may

be added on position D so that an additional food such as

scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time.

Foods cooked with the turkey should be added toward

the end of the time allowed for the turkey_ For example,

potatoes which cook for 1 hour should be added to the

oven 1 hour before the end of cooking time for the turkey.

Use of Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This

will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover. To

do so, place a small sheet of foil on a lower shelf several

inches below the food°

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc,., can be started

without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes per pound

(450 grams) additional time (I5 minutes per pound for

roasts under 5 pounds [2.3 kg], more time for larger

roasts)_

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting. Unthawed

poultry often does not cook eveniyo Some commercially

frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without

thawing. Follow the directions given on the package label.

Broiling

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the

food Your range has a convenient broiler compartment

below the oven for broiling It also has a specially

designed broiler pan and grid that allows the dripping fat

to drain away from the high heat of the gas flame°

It is recommended that meat be cooked to at least an

INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71°C) and poultry

to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F (82°C)

Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodborne illness

Distance from the heat source may be changed by

positioning the broiler pan and grid on one of the three

shelf positions in the broiler compartment--A (bottom of

broiler compartment), B (middle) and C (top)°

Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled.

Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking

to a minimum.

The oven door and broiler compartment door must be

closed during broiling.

Turn most foods once during cooking (the exception is

thin fillets of fish; oil one side, place that side down on the

broiler grid and cook without turning until done).. Time the

food for about one-half the total cooking time, turn the

food, then continue to cook to the preferred donenesso

How to Broil

1. The broiler compartment does not need to be

preheated for broiling°

2. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2" (5 cm) apart,

but do not cut into meat If desired the fat may be

trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8" (3 ram) thick.

3. Arrange the food on the grid and position the

broiler pan on the appropriate shelf in the broiler

compartment. Placing the food closer to flame sears

the exterior and increases the surface browning of

food, but also increases spattering and the possibility

of fats and meat juices igniting.

4. Close the broiler compartment and turn the OVEN

TEMP knob to BROIL.

5. When broiling is finished, turn the OVEN TEMP knob

to OFE Remove the broiler pan from the broiler

compartment and serve the food immediately. Do not

leave a soiled broiler pan and grid inside the range.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil

to line your broiler pan and

broiler grid. However, you

must mold the foil tightly to

the grid and cut slits in it

just like the grid.

Without the slits, the foil

will prevent fat and meat

Cut slits in 1he foil just like the grid

juices from draining to the broiler pan.. The juices could

become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the

slits, you are frying, not broiling°

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.

Broiling Guide

The oven door and broiler compartment must be

closed during broiling.

o Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with

your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and

spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part

of the pan.

• For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the

outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise

through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the

meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent

piercing the meat and losing juices.

• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling

Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only

• When arranging the food on the pan, do not let fatty

edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could

soil the oven

• The broiler compartment does not need to be

preheated, However, for very thin foods, or to increase

browning, preheat if desired

- Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the broiler

pan and grid at next lowest shelf position and increasing

cooking time given in this guide 1_/'_times per side.

Griddle

NOTE: The griddle is to be used on the center burner

grate only

Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and food particles,

using a square-edged spatula, while it is still hot°

Wipe the griddle with a dry, heavy, coarse cloth to

remove any remaining residue and food particles.

Wash with hot soapy water, rinse and dry.

Once the griddle has cooled, rub the surface lightly with

vegetable oil. Do not use corn oil or cooking sprays as

they get sticky.

If the griddle is cleaned with anything other than a dry,

heavy, coarse cloth, it wilt need to be reseasoned.

Never flood the hot griddle with cold water.. This could

cause the griddle to crack or warp.

As the griddle is used and seasoned, it may change color

over time.

Griddle Precautions:

• If something has spilled under the griddle, it should be

cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent "baked on"

food soil.

• Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle as

it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle as soon

as it is cool.. Clean with hot soapy water.

To replace the grates:

1, Place the side grates in position on the cooktop,

2. Place the center grate on the cooktop making sure the

locking feet hook over the side grates.

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.

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 heal

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 dult spot if allowed to siL

When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse For other

spills such as fat spatterings, etco, wash with soap and

water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish

with a dry cloth.

Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead

to damage and improper operation of the range.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven or

near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible

materials, gasotine or other flammable vapors and

Oven Shelves

Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or

scouring pad. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with

clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish,

To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from

excessive spil!overs by placing a cookie sheet on the

shelf below the shelf you are cooking on.. You can use

aluminum foil if you do not cover the whole shelf. 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,

If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow

the oven to cool firsL Remove the oven bottom for easier

clean-up.

To remove the oven bottom:

2. Grasp the oven

bottom at the finger

slots on each side.

3. Lift the rear of the Ovenbottom

oven bottom enough

to clear the lip of the range frame, push it back, and

then pull it up and out,,

Make sure the oven bottom is in place before you

turn the oven on for any reason,

Frequent wipings with mild soap and water (particularly

after cooking meat) will prolong the time between major

cleaningso Rinse thoroughly. Soap left on the oven bottom

can cause stains_

For heavy soil, use an abrasive cleaner or a soap-filled

scouring pad. A commercial oven cleaner may also be

used, following the package directions.

Porcelain Oven interior

With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will retain

its attractive finish for many years°

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering

or spitlovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive

cleanser.. Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.

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.. They may cause dul! spots

even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier.

Place 1/2cup (125 ml) ammonia in a shallow glass pan

and leave in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes

will help loosen the burned-on grease and food_

When necessary', you may use a commercial oven

cleaner.. Follow the package directions.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

• Be careful where the oven cleaner is sprayed

• Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls

and switches because it could cause a short circuit

and result in sparking or fire..

• Do not allow a film from the cleaner to remain on the

temperature sensing bulb--it could cause the oven to

heat improperly. (The bulb is located at the rear of the

oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven

cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb as a

change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

- Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside of the

oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven,

cabinets or painted surfaces. Oven cleaner can damage

these surfaces..

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 wilt 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 as the hinge could snap back

and pinch fingers.

Hinges

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 hinges

snap back against the oven

frame, pull them back out.

To Clean the Door:

Do not allow excess water to run into any ho_es or slots

in the door.

Inside of door:

Allow to coot before cleaning. For light soil, wipe

frequently with mild soap and water (especially after

cooking meat).. This will prolong the time between

major cleanings. Rinse thorougNy.

NOTE: Soap left on the oven door causes

additional stains when the oven is reheated.

• For heavy soil, you can use an oven cleaner and

follow labet instruction& Rinse wello

See "Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners"

below.

Outside of door:

Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides

and front of the oven door. Rinse wello 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 surface is cool, clean and rinse.

• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or

harsh abrasives such as steel wool pads on the

outside of the door.

As with any appliance using gas and generating heat,

there are certain safety precautions you should follow.

You will find these precautions in the Important Safety

Instructions section in the front of this manual+

Read them carefully.

• Have your range installed by a qualified installer°

o Your range must be electrically grounded in accordance

with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,

in accordance with the National Electrical Code

(ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition). See Electrical

Connections in this section.

- Before installing your range on linoleum or any other

synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering

can withstand 180°F (82°C) without shrinking, warping

or discoloring_ Do not install the range over carpeting

unless a sheet of V4"(6 ram) thick plywood or similar

insulator is placed between the range and carpeting.

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range

can withstand heat generated by the range up to

200°F (93°C)+

• Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce

the hazard caused by reaching into the cabinets

over the open flames of operating burners, install a

ventilation hood over the range that projects forward at

least 5" (12..7 cm) beyond the front of the cabinets+

• The ventilating hoed must be constructed of sheet

metal not less than 0.0122" (+31 ram) thick. Install

above the cooking top with a clearance of not less than

+/4"(6 mm) between the hood and the underside of the

metal cabinet or combustible material The hood must

be at least as wide as the appliance and centered over

the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface

and the ventilation hood surface MUST NEVER BE

LESS THAN 24" (61 cm)+.

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or

cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the

installation instructions packed with that appliance.

If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a minimum

clearance of 30" (76..2 cm) between the cooking surface

and the bottom of unprotected cabinets

If a 30" (76+2 cm) clearance between cooking surface

and overhead metal cabinets or combustible material

cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the

cabinets above the cooking top with not less than

+/4"(6 mm) insulating millboard covered with sheet

metal not less than 0.0122" (.31 ram) thick.

Clearance between the cooking surface and protected

cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24" (61 cm)o

surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets

extending closer than 1" (2.5 cm) to the plane of the

range sides must not be less than 18" (4547 cm)_

(See the Dimensions and Clearances illustration in

this section°)

CAUTION: Itemsof+meresttochildren

should not be stored in cabinets above a range or

on the backsptash of a range--children climbing on

the range to reach items could be seriously injured..

AWARNING

• All ranges can tip and injury could

result, To prevent accidental tipping

of the range, attach an approved

Anti-Tip device to the walt and floor.

(See Installing the Anti-Tip Device

in this section.)

To check if the device is installed

and engaged properly, open the

broiler compartment and inspectthe rear

leveling leg, Make sure it fits securety in

the slot,

If you pull the range out from the wall

for any reason, make sure the AntFTip device is

engaged when you push the range back against the

wall,

• 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 wilt void your warranty_

o 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.

GENERAL

• See the Dimensions and Clearances illustration in this

section for all rough-in and spacing dimensions° These

dimensions must be met for safe use of your range.

The location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening

(see Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations) may be

adjusted to meet specific requirements°

• The range may be placed with 0" (0 cm) clearance

(flush) at the back wall and at the side walls of the

range,,

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong

draft& 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.

PROTECT YOUR FLOOR

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 materiaO. When the floor covering ends at

the front of the range, the area that the range wilt 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. See the

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on the

previous page.

MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION

You'll find the model and serial numbers on a label on the

front frame of the range, behind the broiler compartmenL

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

° Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers

• Pencil and ruler

*Teflon: Registered trademark of DuPont

PREPARATION

• Remove all tape and packaging°

* Take the accessory pack out ofthe oven,.

• Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during

shipping.

STEP 1

Provide Adequate Gas Supply

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" (102 cm)

of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LPgas

(propane or butane), 10" (25 4 cm) 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 touse this range on LPgas,

conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before

attempting to operate therange on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to

the regulator must be between 4" (10,2 cm) and 13" (33 cm)

of water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be

between 10" (25,4 cm) and 13" (33 cm) of water column.

When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet

pressure must be at least 1" (2,5 cm) greater than the operaling

(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 usedto connect the range

to the gas supply line shoutd have an LDoof 1/2" and be 5 feet

(1.5 m) in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible

connectors must be single wail metal connectors no longer

than 6 feet (1.8 m) in length.

STEP 2

Connect the Range to Gas

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old

range and leave it off until new hook-up 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 InternationaFcertified 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, use pipe joint compound or wrap Teflon*

pipe thread tapearound all male (external) pipe threads.

connection at the shut-off valve.

5, 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.

CAUTION: DoNOTUSEAFLAMETO

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

When using test pressures greater than 1/_psig to

pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,

disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from

the gas supply pipingo When using test pressures of

1,,_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..

STEP 3

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 itbe a

tJL-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 three-prong

(grounding) plug which

mates with a standard

three-prong grounding

walt receptacle to

minimize the possibility

of electric shock hazard

from this appliance

The customer should

PREFERRED

METHOD

Ensure proper

ground exists

before use

have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is

properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, itis the personal responsibility and

obligation of the customer to have it replaced with

a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR

REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE

POWER CORD.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's) are devices that

sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically

switch off power when a threshold Ieakage level is

detected.. These devices must be manually reset by the

consumer.

Although the National Electrical Code requires the use of

GFCI's in kitchen receptacles installedto serve countertop

appliances, GFCI's are not required or recommended in a

receptacle serving a gas range.

Performance of the range will not be affected if operated

on a GFCFprotected circuit, but occasional nuisance

tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible. If the breaker

trips, power to the range will switch off,.

A: Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord

will be Disconnected Infrequently,

TEMPORARY METHOD

Adapter

Align large prongs/slots

Ensure proper ground

\ and firm connection

Cover before use

screw

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 two-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

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.

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.

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 two-

prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-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 A225ol, latest edition, or with local codes.

Electric Disconnect Plug

STEP 6

Check Ignition of Surface Burners

Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be

checked after all range and gas supply lines have been

carefully checked for leaks..

Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in

and turn to LITE position. You will hear a snapping 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..

NOTE: When one burner is turned to LITE, all the

burners spark°

Quality of Flames

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be

determined visually.

(A) Yellow flames--Call

Sears for service

STEP 7

Check Ignition of Oven Burner

Your oven is designed to operate quietly and

automatically. To operate the oven, turn the OVEN TEMP

knob to a setting above 200°F (93_C)..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 OVEN TEMP knob.

Electronic 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

oven burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until power

is restored°

(B) Yellow tips on outer

cones--Normal for LP gas

Normal for natural gas

If burner flames look like (A), call Sears 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.

STEP 8

Adjusting the Oven Burner/Broiler Burner

Air Adjustment Shutter, If Necessary

To determine if the oven/broiler burner flames are burning

properly, first remove the oven bottom,,

To remove the oven bottom:

1. Remove the knuried

screws holding down

the rear of the oven

bottom.

2. Grasp the oven

bottom at the finger

slots on each side..

3. Lift the rear of the

>nHl

Ovenbottom

oven bottom enough to clear the lip of the range

frame, push it back, and then pull it up and out

With the oven bottom

removed, properly c

adjusted flames should c

have approximately 1"

(25 cm) 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 the burner ports°

if lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter

opening until flames are stabilized..

The shutter for the oven burner is near the back

wall of the oven and behind the broiler compartment°

Open the broiler compartment. See the Care and
