A WARNING!
IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement 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 can cause minor exposu,e to f()tlFof flmse substances, namely benzene, carl)on
monoxide, f_[maldehyde and soot, caused primarily by tile incomplete combustion of natural
gas or I,P fllels. Pmpedy adjusted burners, indicated by a bh|isll rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting
with an open window or using a ventilation tan or hood.
WARNING: If the information in this
manual is not followed exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or death.
-- Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TODO IF YOUSMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do
not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor's phone. Follow the
gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier,
call the fire department.
-- Installation and service must be
performed by a qualified installer,

IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION.
READALLINSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.
a, WARNING'!
SURFACECOOKINGUNITS
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 boilovers and spillovers and large enough to
cover burner grate. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food,
since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily
grasped and remain cool
• Always use file LITEposition (on elecuic
ignition models) or the HI position (on
standing pilot models) when igniting top
burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.
• Never leave smthce burners unattended
at high flame settings, l_)ilover causes
smoking and g_easy spillovers that m W
catch on fire.
• Adjust the mp burner flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the
(:ookware. Excessive flame is hazar, Mus.
• Use only dU pot holders-moist or damp
pot hoMers on hot smihces m W result in
bums fl_ml steam. Do not let pot holders
come near open flames when lifting
cookx_le. Do not use a tox_l or other
bulky clofll 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 file range without extending
over a(!jacent burners.
• Always turn tim smlhce burner to OFF
l_fbr_ removing the (:ookware.
• Carefhlly watch foods being flied at a high
flame setting.
• Never blo(:k the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
flint are necessa U ff)r the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air
openings are located at the rear of the
cooktop, at dm top and bottom of the oven
door, and at the bottom of the range under
the broiler drinker.
• Foods for flying shouM be as (hT as
possible. Frost on fiozen foods or moisture
on flesh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over sides of the pan.
• Use least possible amount of fat fbr effective
shallow or deep4at fiTing. Filling the pan
too fhll of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
• V_qmnflaming foods under the hood,
turn the fan on.
• Ira combination of oils or Inkswill be used
in flying, stir uNether before heating or as
faks melt sloMy.
• Always heat fat slowly, and wat(:h as it heats.
• Use a deep fat them_ometer whenever
possible u) prevent overheating fat 1)eyond
the smoking point.
• V_qmn using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for mp-of:range cooking.
• Keep all plastics away from top burners.
• Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-
they may melt ifleft too close to the vent.
• Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air fiom 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, ah_ys be
certain that the conmfls for all burners are
at the OFF position and all gTates are cool
bef0r_ attempting to remove them.
• Should _x)u have a g_ase fire, turn the fan
oftL The fan, if operating, may spread the
flames.
• ff range is located near a win(bw, do not
hang long curtains that couM blow over
the top burners and create a fire h_ar,1.
• Wqlen a pilot goes out (on standing pilot
models), you will demct a faint odor (fig'as
as your signal m relight the pilot. V_qmn
relighting the pilot, make sure burner
controls are in the OFFposition, and follow
instructions in this manual m r_light.
• If you smell gas, and >)u have already made
sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot
m odels),mrn off tim gas to tim range and
call a qualified sere'ice technician. Never
use an ()pen flame to locate a leak.
• Keep range clean and flee ofaccumulations
ofg_ease or spillovers, which may ignite.
• Be carefifl when you clean the cooktop
because tim area over tim pilot (on standing
pilot models) will be hot.
FLOORINGUNDERTHERANGE
Yourrange, like so many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such
as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
V_qmn **loving dm range on this type of
flooring, it should be installed oil a 1/4" thick
sheet ofpl}_vood (or similar material) as
follows: When thefloor coveringends at the
front ofthe range, the area that the range will
rest (m should be built up with plD_x_od to the
same level or higher than tim floor covering.
This will allow tim range m be moved for
cleaning or servicing.
%
LEVELINGTHERANGE
I,eveling legs are located on each corner of
the base of dm range. Your range must be
level in o,,ler to produce proper cooking and
baking results. After it is in its final location,
place a level horizontally on any oven shelf
and check the levelness flont m back and side
u) side. Level the range by ad,jusfing the
leveling legs or by placing shims under the
corners as needed.
One of tim rear leveling legs will engage the
Anti-Tip device (allow f0r some side m side
a(!jusmmnt). Allow a mininmm clearance of
1/8 inch between the range and the leveling
leg that is m be installed into the Anti-Tip
device.

Usingthe oven formasting.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry carl be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting
temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Roasting is easy;just follow these directions."
Place the shelf in theA or B
position.
How to Set the Oven For Roasting
[] Place tile shelf in tile A or B position.
No preheating is ne(essa U.
[]
(heck tile weight of tile meat. Place
it fat side up (or for pouhiT, breast-
side-up) on a roasting rack in a
shallow pan. The melting tht will
baste the meat. Select a pan as close
to the size of the meat as possible.
IJne the pan with aluminum fi)il
when using tile pan fi)r mminafing,
cooking _dth fi_uits, cooking hemily
cured meats, or basting tood during
cooking.
[] Turn tile OVENTEMPknob to tile

Usingtheovenforbroiling.
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food, Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be bmi/ect Follow
£hesesteps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum,
Yourrange has a compartment below the oven for broiling. A specially designed broiler pan allows dripping fat to
drain awayfmm the food,
Both the oven and broiler compartment doors should'be closed during broiling.
How to Set Your Oven for Broiling
[] You can change tile distance oftim []
fi)od fi'om the heat som(e by
positioning the broiler pan in tile []
broiler compamnent-A (bottom of
broiler compamnent) or second
position. Most broiling sh¢mM be
clone in position A.
[]
[]
Preheat the broiler fi)r best resuhs.
If the meat has fat or gristle around
the edge, cut vertical slashes through
it about 2 indms apmt, but don't cut
into the meat. We recommend that
you trim the tat to prevent excessive
smoking, leaving a layer about 1/8
inch thick.
[]
Turn tile OVENTEMPknob to BROIL.
Turn inost foods once during
cooking. Time foods fi)r about one-
half tile total cooking time, mrn

preterred doneness.
Turn tile OVEN TEMP knob to OFF.
Remove tile broiler pan fiom tile
broiler compartment and serve tile
/i)od imme(fiately. I_eave tile pan

[] Close tile oven and broiler
compartment door.
Useof AluminumFoil
You can use alulninuln fi)il to line your

Careand cleaning of therange.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these
directions carefully in caring for your range to assure safe and proper maintenance.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip
device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
How toRemovetheRangefor Cleaningand Servicing

Connectthe Rangeto Gas
Thehouse piping and connector used to connect the range to the main gas supply must be
clean, free of metal shavings, rust, dirt or liquids (oil or water). Contaminants in the supply lines
can work their way into the range manifold and cause failure of gas valves or controls and clog
burners or pilot orifices.
