unattended could catch fire or spoil.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Use Proper Flame SizeiAdjust 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.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners--To reducethe
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
SettingsiBoilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Protective LinersiDo not usealuminum foil to line surface
burner pans,oven bottom or anyother part of the range. Use
of protective liners or aluminum foil may interfere with heat
and air distribution, and combustion. Damagetothe rangeor
personal injury may result.
Glazed Cooking UtensilsiOnly certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check
the manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.
Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. Ifa burner
is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become
hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the
burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched.
Damage mayalso bedone to the cooktop or burners because
the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from
the burner and cause combustion problems.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Use Care When Opening DooriStand to the side of the
range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or
steam escapebefore you remove or replace food inthe oven.
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven isvented
below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area
when the oven isoperating may causesevere 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
potholderscontactthe oven burner flame or interior of the
oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing
rack.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler
pan and grid allow dri0ping fat to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the broiler.

background
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSccontinued)
* Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot light bulb (some models) with a
dampcloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Disconnecttherange or turn off the power to the range
before removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularlyto keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area
underneath each surface burner. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow
grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch
fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning.
Kitchen cleaners/aerosolsiAIways follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Beaware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and/or injury.
CONTINUOUS CLEANING OVENS (some models):
Do not use oven cleaners on the oven liner or any of the
continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can
be identified by their rough surface finish.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS (some models):
Clean in the self-cleaning cycleonlythe parts of the oven listed
in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and any utensils stored in the oven.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should betaken notto rub, damage or remove
the gasket.

Cooktop and
Oven Ignition
During a power failure,
the oven burners cannot be lit and you
should not tryto do so. The oven burner
valves will not open up and will prevent
the gasfrom flowing through the burner
valves to the burners.
To Manually Light Cooktop Burners with Spark Ignition
When you turn the control knob to LITE,all ign itors make an electric spark (aticking
sound) which lights the selected burner.
During a power failure, the burners will not light automatically. In an emergency,
a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the steps below:
.
2.
Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light. Wooden
matches work best.
Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Besure you are turning the correct
knob for the burner you are lighting.
Note: If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the knob off
and wait one minute before trying again.
Oven Ignition
When you turn the oven on, the glow bar igniter begins to heat. When the lighter
is hot enough, in about 1 minute, the gas flows into the burner and is ignited.
The igniter glows bright orange when hot. It cycles on and off with the thermostat
and will glow whenever the burner is on.
background
Flame Size
Never extend the flame beyond the outer
edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply
wastes heat andenergy, and increasesyour
risk of being burned by the flame.
RIGHT
WRONG
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn toa lower one
to complete the process. Use the chart 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 Type of Cooking
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
* These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with
lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Proper Burner
Adjustments
The color of the fla me isthe key to proper burner adjustment. A good fla me is clear,
blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Eachcone of flame should be steady
and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean
burner, see instructions under General Cleaning.
Selecting Surface
Cooking Utensils
q
Pans should have flat bottoms. Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom. There should be no gaps
between the pan and ruler.
Note: Always use a utensil for its in-
tended purpose. Follow manufacturer's
instructions. Some utensilswere not made
to be used inthe oven or on the cooktop.
Note: Do not usegriddle over more than
one burner. That can damage your
cooktop and that can result in exposure
to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards. That can
hazardous to your health.
For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these
characteristics:
*GOOD
Flat bottom and straight
sides.
Tight fitting lids.
Weight of handle does not
tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced.
Pan sizes match the amount
of food to be prepared.
Made of a material that
conducts heat well.
Easy to clean.
POOR
Curved and warped pan
bottoms.
Pan overhangs unit by more
than one inch or 25mm.
Heavy handle tilts pan.
Flame extends beyond unit.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, woks with flat bottom, griddles and pressure
cookers may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware
requirements.
background
Specialty Pans & Trivets
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in
most cookshop or hardware stores.
Round-bottomed woks (with asupport
ring that does not extend beyond the
burner unit) may also be used. The
metal ringwas designed tosupportthe
wok safely when it is filled with large
amounts of liquids (soup making) or
fat (frying).
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metal ring that extends beyond
the burner unit. Because this ring
traps heat, the surface unit and
cooktop surface could be damaged.
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact
with the grates.
DO NOT use two burner units to heat one large pan such as a roaster
or griddle, or allow cooking utensilsto boil dry. The bottom surface of the pan in either
of these situations could causediscoloring or crazing of the appliance cooking surface,
and damage to the grates and burner units.
Canning Tips &
Information
Canning can generate
large amounts of steam. Use extreme
caution to prevent burns. Always raisethe
lid to vent steam away from you.
_--;,
1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local
Cooperative Agricultural Extension Serviceor a manufacturer of glassjars for the
latest canning information.
2. Useflat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom
surface is flat.
3. Center canner on the burner grate.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring
the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to maintain
a constant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the burner grate.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allowthe units and surrounding
surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed
and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle
but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.

Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor. Electric ignitors light
automatically each time a Surface Control knob is turned to the LITEposition.
To Operate the Surface Burner
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE.Note: All electronic ignitors
will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will
ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The
control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Usethe guides and
adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the control knob in the LITE
position. (The electronic ignitors will continue to click if one Surface Control knob
is left in the LITEposition, causing premature wear.)
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.Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire
if placed too close to a flame.
Griddle (some models)
Your non-stick griddle must first be "conditioned" to insure non-stick cooking.
Remove the enamel griddle cover. Wipe a teaspoon of vegetable oil over the surface
before using the griddle for the first time.
Do not overheat the griddle as this will cause permanent staining of the non-stick
coating. You can protect the non-stick coating by keeping the enamel cover over the
griddle when not in use.
The griddle is intended for direct food cooking. Do not use pans or other cookware
onthe griddle. Doing socould damage the finish. After turning onthe griddle burner,
you can check to see if it is ignited by looking at the griddle burner flame reflection
plate through the observation hole. See diagram of Griddle Burner at left.
5th Burner (some models)
The 5th burner pan, chrome bowl insert and a burner grate can be used in place of
the griddle. To use the griddle area for a 5th burner, remove the griddle and place
the 5th burner pan over the burner. Then place the bowl insert and the burner grate
in the proper position. Operate the 5th burner with the griddle control knob.

Oven Cleaning (continued) Self-Cleaning Oven (some models)
Refer to your Electonic Oven Control Guide
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the wall oven can
become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the
appliance. Usecare when opening the oven door after self-cleaning cycle. Stand to
the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:
AIIowthe oven to cool before cleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the
range manually.
REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOIL-
ING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR
CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE THE NUM-
BER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS LATER.
Ammonia must be rinsed
before operating the oven. Provide
adequate vent at on.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, bottom, racks or any other part of
the range 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).
Easy Clean Oven (some models)
Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven cleaners
can be used on all interior oven surfaces.
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 spots using hot, soapy water. Rinsewell
with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If
neccessary,use anoven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT
mix ammonia with other cleaners.
3. Clean anysoil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket,
the small area at the front center of the oven bottom and the oven vent exit
(located below the backguard). Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinsewell using
clean water and a cloth.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray 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 causethe oven to heat improperly. (The bulb islocated 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 howthe oven
bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, handles or any
exterior surfaces of the range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.
Cleaning the Oven Bottom
The oven bottom in porcelain enamel oven models can be removed for
cleaning. See "To Remove and Replace Oven Bottom" under General Cleaning.
Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad
or oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions.

Oven Cleaning (continued)
Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:
AIIowthe oven to cool before cleaning.
Wear rubber gloveswhen cleaning the
range manually.
REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY
SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.REGUlaR
CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE THE NUM-
BER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS LATER.
Ammonia must be rinsed
before operating the oven. Provide
adequate ventilation.
DO NOT use oven
cleaners, gritty cleansers, coarse abrasive
pads or brushes, silicone sprays or metal
scrapers on the interior walls, oven frame
or ceiling of a continuous cleaning oven.
Permanent damage to the oven may
result.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, bottom, racks or any other part of
the range 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).
Continuous Cleaning Oven (some models)
Continuous cleaning ovens have a special coating which is a porous ceramic
material.This rough coating tendsto prevent greasespatters from forming little beads
which run down the side walls leaving streaks that require hand cleaning. Instead,
when spatter hits the porous coating, it disperses and is partially absorbed. This
spreading action increases the exposure of oven soil to heated air, making it less
noticeable.
Soilmaynotdisappearcompletely. Remaining soil will gradually fade with continued
oven use. The special coating works best on small amounts of spatter. Larger spills,
or spills generating from sugar, egg and dairy mixtures, do not clean as well.
If difficult soils occur:
1. Remove the oven racks and cookware.
2. Remove soils by completing steps a or b below:
a) Use hot, soapy water and wash soils using a nylon-bristly brush or a nylon
mesh scouring pad. DO NOT rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths or
sponges. They will leave lint on the oven coating.
b) Applyammoniawith aspongeand dab it intothe porouscoating. Leave the
ammonia on the soiled area for 30 minutes.
3. Rinsewith clear water.
4. Closethe oven door and push inand turn theTemperature Control knobto450°F
(230°C).
5. Operate oven for 15 minutes.
6. Remaining soil will fade with continued oven use.
Cleaning the Oven Bottom
The oven bottom is not a continuous cleaning finish. Oven cleaners can be
used on the oven bottom only. Remove the oven bottom before using oven
cleaners. DO NOT get oven cleaner on any of the continuous cleaning surfaces.
Note: To remove or replace oven bottom, see "To Remove and Replace Oven
Bottom" under General Cleaning.
To dean, use hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad
or oven cleaner (on the oven bottom only) following manufacturer's instructions.

flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
C lean in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soilsare not removed, followthese cooktop cleaning
instructions: Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1
solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked
paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinsewith clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a
soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain
may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the rangetop.
Cleanwith hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinsewith clean water and a cloth. Cover stubborn spots
with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 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.
Oven racks can be removed or left in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle for cleaning. If removed,
clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer's instructions. Rinsewith clean water
and dry.
If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be
dull. After the self-clean cycle is completed, and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with
wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide
easier 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 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
General Cleaning. To clean, soak the burners in a 1:1 clean water and ammonia solution for 30 to
40 minutes. For stubborn stains, scrub with soap and water or a mild abrasive cleanser and a damp
cloth. Before putting the burner back, dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes.
Then replace it, making sure it isproperly seated and level. DO NOT put burner units inthe dishwasher.
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the door inwater.
