IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a
pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn
the burner o 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 ame 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 ammable 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.
• Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.
• When aming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the
fan on.
Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust ame
size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
burner ame to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to ame will also
improve eciency.
• Use care when opening oven door , warmer drawer or
lower 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 insert allow 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 Safety Instructions
Protective Liners — DO NOT use aluminum
foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock, or re.

Before Setting Surface Controls
Do not use the surface burners without the
burner caps and burner grates properly installed. Missing
pieces or improper installation may lead to spills, burns, or
damage to your range and cookware.
Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the
cooktop before using the surface burners. The grates are
designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.
To install burner grates, place grates at-side down and
align into the cooktop recess. Grates should rest ush
against each other and against the sides of the recess.
Installing burner grates

Before Setting Surface Controls
Please note: The size and type of utensil used, and the
amount and type of food being cooked will inuence the
burner ame setting needed for best cooking results.
Cookware material types
The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists
staining & pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results.
Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.
Using proper cookware
For best cooking results,
cookware should have at
bottoms that rest level on the
burner grate. Before using
cookware, check for atness
by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (Fig. 1).
Setting proper burner ame size
For most cooking; start on the highest setting and then
turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the
recommendations below as a guide for determining proper
ame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)
For deep fat frying; use a thermometer and adjust the
surface 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 under cooked.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as
the food will neither brown or cook properly.
Never extend the ame beyond the outer
edge of the cooking utensil. A higher ame wastes energy,
and increases your risk of being burned by the ame.
*These settings are based for medium-weight metal or
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using
other types of pans.
The color of the ame is the key to proper burner adjustment.
A good ame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted
room. Each cone of ame should be steady and sharp. Adjust
or clean burner if ame is yellow-orange.

DO NOT place ammable items such as
plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items
could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons
could catch re if placed too close to the range cooktop.
Important: DO NOT place aluminum foil, or ANY material
that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they
may damage the cooktop.

Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as
well as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
• Use only quality at bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Use only a completely at bottom canner.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when rst bringing the water
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
Setting Surface Controls
Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY
material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items
melt they may permanently damage the cooktop surface.
Fig. 1
Important notes:
• DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the
LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark
if the control knob setting remains in the LITE position .
• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE
position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the
same time. However, only the surface burner you are
setting will ignite.
• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2
dierent surface cooking areas at the same time. This
can cause uneven heating results.
• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting
surface burners 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.
• When operating the oven, it is possible for residual heat
from the oven to build-up and over time to eventually
transfer to the surface control knobs located directly
above the oven door.
Setting surface burners
Your gas appliance may be equipped with dierent sized
surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in
larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is
important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount
and type of food being prepared.
The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best suited
for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
The standard size burners may be used for most surface
cooking needs. Some models are equipped with a center
burner.
The larger POWER burners (on some models) or TURBO
BOIL burner (on some models) are recommended for
bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when
preparing larger quantities of food.
To set surface burners:
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate.
Be sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner
grate.
2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn
counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE
position. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. Once the burner has a ame, push the control knob in and
turn counterclockwise to the desired ame size. Use the
control knob markings and adjust the ame as needed.

Care & Cleaning
Follow these cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance
manually.
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 lling) to remain
on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as
possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the eort required for
major cleaning later.
Adhere to the following precautions when using
spray oven cleaners:
• DO NOT spray cleaner on the electrical controls or
switches because it could cause a short circuit and
result in sparking or re.
• DO NOT allow a lm 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 aect how the oven bakes. Avoid
bending the bulb and capillary tube.
• 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.
Cleaning porcelain enamel oven and broiler drawer:
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean
using oven cleaners.
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 nonabrasive 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.
Aluminum foil and utensils
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the
surface burners under ANY circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is
much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken
when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If
aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the
cooktop, the utensil may be damaged or destroyed.
Cleaning oven bottom (some models)
The oven bottom is porcelain enamel and on some models
may be removed for easier cleaning.
Gentle scouring with a soapy nonabrasive plastic scrubbing
pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear
water and ammonia.
If necessary, cover dicult spots with an ammonia-soaked
paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water
and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-lled non-
abrasive scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating
the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passag-
es in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air ow
through the oven and may cause CARBON MONOXIDE
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a
re hazard.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
General cleaning
Before manually cleaning any part of the range,
be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL.
