SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface and oven
burners may be hot even though flames are not visible.
Areas near surface burners may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these
areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the
oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and window.
• 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.
Important Safety Instructions
• 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.
• 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.

Code ANSI Z223.- latest edition, or in Canada CAN/
CGA B149.1, and CAN/CGA B149.2, and the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.70-1atest edition, or
in Canada CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1, and local code requirements. Install
only per installation instructions provided in the literature
package for this range.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and
an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the
power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in
case of an emergency.
• User Servicing--Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recommended in
the manuals. To reduce the risk of personal injury and
damage to the range, all other servicing should be done
only by a qualified technician.
• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by
removing leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip
brackets/screws, or any other part of the product.
• Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate
by blowing a downward air flow on to a range, shall not be

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door--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.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent
is located below the backguard. 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.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven 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. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insertallow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
IMPORTANT-- Do not attempt to operate the oven during
a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the oven.
If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the
oven will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes,
reset the clock (if equipped) and oven function.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame
size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
The use of undersized utensils will expose 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.
• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place
a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn
the burner off before removing the pan.
•Always turn knob to the full LITE position when
igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit.
Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil.
• 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.
Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP (Cont'd)
• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to
line surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except as
suggested in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

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
)laced too close to a flame.
Electric ignition models:
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.
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.
Models with electric ignition light automatically each time a control knob is
turned to the LITE position.
Operating surface burners:
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the
OFF position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. All four ignitors will spark
at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.
4. Visually check that the burner has lit.
5. Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame
size. The surface control knobs do not have to be set at a particular
setting. Use the knob markings and 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.)
W
_orrect
flame setting
W
Never extend the flame beyond the
outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases your risk of being
burned by the fame.
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.
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.
*Flame Size
High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
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. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
oven vent
Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located at the rear center of the cook top. When

General Care & Cleaning
Follow these cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before
cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning
the appliance manually.
_1__1 Ammonia must be
rinsed before operating
the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, bottom, racks or
any other part of the appliance with
aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy
heat distribution, produce poor
baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven).
REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY
SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL
REDUCE THE EFFORT REQUIRED
FOR MAJOR CLEANINGS LATER.
Porcelain enamel oven and broiler drawer
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.
General cleaning:
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high
sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or
pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning.
To remove heavy soil:
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours
with the oven door closed. Clean softened dirt spots using hot, soapy
water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If
necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO
NOT mix ammonia with other cleaners.
3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean
with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray cleaners on the electrical controls or switches because it
could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature
sensing bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is
located in the rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A change in its position
could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary
tube.
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, broiler drawer
glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range, plastic or painted
surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
To clean oven bottom:
The oven bottom is porcelain enamel and can be removed for easier
cleaning. Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-
filled abrasive pad or oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions.

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and
built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to
60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any
of these materials; they can scratch these surfaces.
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 as instructed above.
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. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and
the shaft, then push the knob(s)into place.
Clean burner grates, broiler pan and insert in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If
soils are not removed, follow the cooktop cleaning instructions below.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a
1:1 solution of clean 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, 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 range top.
Clean with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth.
Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30-40 minutes. Rinse.
Cleaners made especially for stainless steel are recommended. Be sure to rinse the
cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed.
Remove racks. See "Removing and Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting
Oven Controls. 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 salad oil (this will make the racks
glide easier into the rack positions).
The holes in the burners of your range must be kept clean at all times for proper
ignition and a complete, even flame. Clean the burner holes routinely with a small
gauge wire or needle and especially after bad spillovers which could clog these
holes.
To remove and replace burner units per your model, see "To Remove and Replace
Burners" under Care & Cleaning. To clean, soak the burners in a 1:1 solution of
ammonia and water for 30 to 40 minutes. For stubborn stains, scrub with soap and
water or a mild abrasive cleanser and a damp cloth. Dry the burners thoroughly in a
warm oven for 30 minutes. Then replace them, making sure they are properly seated
and level. DO NOT wash burner units in the dishwasher.
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse
the door in water.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a silicone
rubber material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.

General Care & Cleaning
When lowering the cooktop, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. Also, DO
NOT drop or bend the cooktop when raising or lowering. This could damage the surface.
DO NOT turn the burners on when the cooktop is raised for cleaning. Be sure that the top is completely
lowered and securely in place before turning on the burners.
To raise and lower the cooktop for cleaning:
1. Remove burner grates and drip pans (some models). Set aside.
2. Grasp the sides of the cooktop and then lift from the front (See Fig. 1)
3. Lift the cooktop high enough to allow the cooktop support rods to snap into place. The rods will support the cooktop
in the raised position.
4. Clean underneath using hot, soapy water and a clean cloth; then, dry.
5. To lower the cooktop, grasp the front corner of each side of the top while pushing back on each rod with the heel of
your hand. This will release the notched support. Hold the range top and gently slide the cooktop down to the range.

Removing and replacing surface burners for cleaning
To remove surface burners:
1. Remove surface burner mounting screws with a Phillips-head screwdriver. See Fig. 2 for screw locations.
2. Tilt the burner at the end closest to the support bar until the Iocator tab is released (front burners tilt right, rear burners
tilt left). Move the burner toward the back of the range. This will separate it from the gas valve at the front of the range.
To replace surface burners:
1. Slide the burner tube over the gas valve at the front of the range (front burners fit over the right valve, rear burners fit
over the left valve on each side of the range).
2. Tilt burner so that the locating tab will slide into the slot on the support bar. Make sure burners are properly seated on
support bar and are level.
3. Replace mounting screws.

Before You Call
Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that
are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.
OCCURRENCE POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Oven smokes excessively during broiling. Meat too close to the broil burner. Reposition the rack to provide more clearance
between the meat and the broiler burner.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Slash remaining fatty
edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.
Broiler pan used without insert or insert covered with foil. DO NOT use the broiler pan
without the insert or cover the insert with foil.
Broiler drawer needs to be cleaned. Excessive smoking is caused by a build up of
grease or food spatters. If the broiler is used often, clean on a regular basis.
