important Safety instructions
• DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR
THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR iNTERiOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface burners 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 cooktop, surfaces facing the
cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven door and window.
• Wear properappareI--Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
• 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 ifallowed to become too hot.
In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to turn
off the main gas shutoff valve.
• Use only dry potholders--Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating burners. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers--Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is
to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven during
a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the
oven. If the oven isnot turned off and the power resumes,
the oven may begin to operate again. Once the power
resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for
the first time, or if it has not been used for a long
period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.
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 ignitionof
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also
improve efficiency.
Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on
a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion
and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your
health.
• Know which knob controls each surface burner.
Place a pan of food on the burner before turning iton,
and turn the burner off before removing the pan.
• Always turn the knob to the full LITE position when
igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit.
Then adjust the flame so itdoes not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil.
• Use proper pan size. This appliance isequipped with
one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the surface burner to direct contact
and may result in ignitionof clothing. Proper relationship
of utensil to the surface burner will also improve
efficiency.
• 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 to 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.
• 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.
• Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without
breaking due to the sudden change intemperature.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop
use.
Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The searing
grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so
may result in a fire.
Do not use decorative surface burner covers, if a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and
cause combustion problems.
important Safety instructions
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean cooktop glass with caution--If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce harmful fumes ifapplied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
= Use care when opening oven door or warmer drawer
(if equipped)--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/
warmerdrawer.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is
located at the center rear of the cooktop. 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.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or
passages in the oven bottom or covet an entire rack
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a
fire hazard.
• Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) racks.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/
warmer drawer (if equipped) 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 inthe oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).
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.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing
so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are flaming
food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the hood
manufacturer's instructionsfor cleaning.
SELF=CLEANING OVENS
• in the self=Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in
this Use and Care Guide. Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the :!
oven.
• Do not use oven cleaners--No commercial oven cleaner
or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven.
• Do not clean door gasket--The door gasket isessential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or move the gasket.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self=cleaning
cycle of the range. Move the birds to another well
ventilated room.

Control Locations of the Gas Surface
Burners
Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with
different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker
and in larger volumes increases as the burner size
increases.
The small SIMMER burner is best used for simmering
delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right
rear burner position on the cooktop (see Figure 4).
The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface
cooking needs. The 2 standard burners are located at
the left front and rear positions on the cooktop (see
Figure 4).
The POWER burners are best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when
preparing larger quantities of food. The POWER burner
is located at the right front burner position on the
cooktop (see Figure 4).
Regardless of size, 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.
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
placed too close to a flame.
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.
Operating the Gas Surface Controls:
t. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of
the OFF position (See Figure t).
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four
electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only
the burner you are turning on will ignite.
4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.
5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The
control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob
indicator settings to 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.)
Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
Formost 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.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Proper
flame size
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Low Flame 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 ifflame isyellow-orange.
Regardless of size, 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.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned
by the flame (Figura 2).
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 istoo 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.

Surface Cooking
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should
have flat bottoms that
make good contact
with the entire surface
heating element.
Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the Figure 1
cookware (See Figure
1). Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using cookware
as shown in Figure 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used
will influence the setting needed for best
cooking results.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Some utensils were not made to be used in
the oven or on the cooktop.
CORRECT
• 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 material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
iNCORRECT
• Curved and warped pan bottoms.
• Pan overhangs unit by more than
2.5 cm (1").
Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Flame extends beyond unit.
Figure 2
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be
used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.
Using a wok
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use
on your cooktop are available in most
cookshop or hardware stores. Round-
bottomed woks (with a support ring that
does not extend beyond the burner unit)
may also be used. The metal ring was
designed to support the wok safely
when it is filled with large amounts of
liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets.
Cookware bottoms must be in direct
contact with the grates.
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.

Self-Cleaning
During the Self-Cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can
become very hot to the touch. DO NOT
leave small children unattended near the
appliance.
The health of some
birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle
of any range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom 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).
DO NOT force the oven
door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use
caution when opening the door after the
Self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The
oven may still be VERY HOT.

Self-Cleaning Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above
cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to
a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
= DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the Self-Cleaning oven.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven
door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or remove the gasket.
= DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.
= Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
• Oven racks do not have to be removed. If they are not removed during
the Self-Clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will
be dull. If left in, after the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled,
rub the sides of the oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a
small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the
rack position).
= Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting
the Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth.
Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to
remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
= 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. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the
oven bottom should be removed.
What to Expect during Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher
than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and
contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being
removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and
cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should
not cause alarm. Ifavailable, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning
cycle.
2O
Self=Cleaning (cont'd)
Self-Clean Time Length
For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils, and a 3 hour cycle for average, and a 4 hour cycle
for heavy soils. NOTE: The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood
during the Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the Self-Clean cycle.
To Set the Controls for a Self=Clean Cycle or a Delayed Start Self=Clean Cycle:
(Note: If you do not want to start a Delayed Self-Clean Cycle, skips steps 2 & 3.)
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Press @. The " : " in the time of day will flash.
3. Press and hold the A pad to scroll to the time to start the delayed Self-Clean cycle. Release the pad when the
desired time is displayed.
4. Press 0' " "appears in the

5. Press the j%. or V once. "3:00" appears in the display for a 3 hour cycle. To change to a 2 hour cycle press
V. "2:00" appears in the display or to select a 4 hour cycle press j_. "4:00" appears in the display.
As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close automatically and the "Door Locked"
indicator light will flash. DO NOT open the oven door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the
oven door to lock).
6. "CLn" will appear in the display during the Self-Clean cycle and the "Door Locked" light will glow until the Self-
Cleaning cycle is completed or cancelled and the oven temperature has cooled.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed:
1. The time of day or "End" will appear in the display window and the "Clean" and "Door Locked" light will continue to
glow.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOU Rand the "Door Locked" light has gone out, the oven door can be
opened.
3. If "End" is in the display and the Select Clean indicator light remains ON, press _. The time of day will appear in
the display.
NOTE: When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
if it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a Self-Cleaning cycle:
1. Press _.
2. Once the oven has cooled clown for about 1 HOUR and the "Door Locked" light has gone out, the oven door can be
opened.
3. Restart the Self-Clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.
To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the
side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
iii"_J'
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution
and avoid possible burns when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.

blue. If they do go through the self-clean cycle, wait until the oven has cooled, then
remove the oven racks and rub their sides with wax paper or a cloth containing a
small amount of baby or salad oil; this will make the oven racks glide easier back in
and out of their positions.
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse
well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT
immerse the door in water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to
enter the door vents. DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh
abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven
material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential fora good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.
