WARNING!
IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primaril 9 by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properl 9 adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish 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 fan or hood.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off volve and how to shut it off
if necessary.
_i_,:Have your range installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed onlg by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.
;;i:,:Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specificallg
recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
_i:,:Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have an ungrounded outlet
replaced with a properly grounded,
three-prong outlet in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. Do not use
an extension cord with this appliance.

coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such tgpe
of use. Never install it directlg over interior
kitchen carpeting.
;_):,_Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriouslg burned.
;;):,:Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door, storage drawer, warming
drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
CAUTION: Itemsof interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a
range or on the backsplash of a range-
children climbing on the range to reach items
could be seriouslg injured.
WARNING: NEVERusethis
appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
_t_:_Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited
if brought in contact with flame or hot oven
surfaces and may cause severe burns.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
a range storage drawer, a warming drawer
or near a cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completelg with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-tgpe
fire extinguisheE
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completelg by closing the oven door and
turning the control to off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-tgpe
fire extinguishen
_t_:_Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
;_i:,:Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properlg with correct combustion. Air openings
are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the

WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped, Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spiffovers, make sure cookware is large enough
to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of
food, since heavy spattering or spiffovers left on range con ignite, Use pans with handles that can be
eosifg grasped and remain cool,
_;i:,:Always use the Lite position when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.
_::Never leave the surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
_i:,:Adjust the top burner flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
_t_:_Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth in place
of a pot holder
_i:,:When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking,
_:::To minimize the possibilitg of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back of
the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
_:::Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
_i_Always heat fat slowlg, and watch as it heats.
_: Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
_t_::If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowlg.
;_i:,:Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
;_::,:Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
_):,:Do not flame foods on the cooktop, If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
_i:,:Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the
wok has a round metal ring that is placed over
the burner grate to support the wok, This ring
acts as a heat trap, which may damage the
burner grate and burner head. Also, it may
cause the burner to work improperlg, This may
cause a carbon monoxide level above that
allowed by current standards, resulting in a
health hazard.
_t_:_Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
_t_:_Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especiallg
a deep fat frye[ Wait until the fat is cool.
;_i:,:Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
;_i:,:Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
;_i:,:To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the Off'position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
_i:,:If range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and create a fire hazard.
_t::_If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
;_::,:Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
;_i:,:Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner
models, Lifting the cooktop can lead to
damage and improper operation of the range.

Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Hedium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Host foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will give satisfactorg results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer's
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two tgpes of glass
cookware-those for oven use only and those
for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,coffee
and teapots).Glassconducts heat very
slowly.
HeatproofGlass Ceramic: Can be used for
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts
heat verg slowly and cools verg slowly. Check
cookware manufacturer's directions to be
sure itcan be used on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Stove Top Grills (on models with sealed burners)
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas
burners. If you use the stove top grill on the
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.

Vent appearance and location vorg.
Oven Vent
Youroven is vented through ducts at the rear
of the range. Do not block these ducts when
cooking in the oven-it is important that the
flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air
to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid
touching the vent openings or nearb9
surfaces during oven or broiler operation-
they mag become hot.
_ Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop
mo_j become hot if left too close to the vent.
_ Do not leave plastic or flammable items on
the cooktop-the_j may melt or ignite if left
too close to the vent.
::Ji::Do not leave closed containers on the
cooktop. Thepressure in closedcontainers
may increase,which may cause them to
burst.
::J_::Metal items will become very hot if theg are
left on the cooktop, and could cause bums.

The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a
power failure. Gas will not flow unless the
glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power failure
occurs,the oven burner shuts off and cannot
be re-lit until power is restored.This is
because the flow of gas is automaticallg
stopped and will not resume when power
is restored until the glow bar has reached

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe callsfor it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for
good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or
tone,preheat i0 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as possible.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls
of the oven. If you need to usetwo shelves,
stagger the pans so one is not directly above
the other,and leave approximately 1VS'
between pans,from the front, back and sides
of the wall.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelfwith aluminum
foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several
inches below the food.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

Recipe failure con result if cokes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat

Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat bg weight. Low fat spreads,on the

Appearance may vary.
The grates may be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
Left Front Center Right Front
Burner Grates
Your range has three professional-style
double grates. These grates are position-
specific. For maximum stability, these grates
should only be used in their proper position;
they cannot be interchanged left to right or
front to back. For convenience, the
undersides of the left and right grates are
marked "LEFTFRONT"and "RIGHTFRONT."
Makesure the front portion of both grates is
in front. The middle grate has a bow in front.
Makesure the bowed portion istoward the
front of the range.
Cleaning
Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water When replacing the grates,
be sure they are positioned securely over
the burners. Replacethe grates so that
continuous arcs are formed with the center
ribs of all three grates.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the grate.
The finish on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates
in a covered container Add i/4cup ammonia
and let them soak several hours or overnight.
Wash, rinse well and dry.
Although they are durable, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of
the best care you can give them. This is
due to their continual exposureto high
temperatures. Youwill notice this sooner
with lighter color grates.
NOTE:Do not cleon the grates in a self-
cleaning oven.
Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills right
away. Foods with a lot of acid {tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.)or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot
if allowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash and
rinse.For other spills such as fat spatterings,
etc.,wash with soap and water once the
surface has cooled.Then rinse and polish
with a dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials
in an oven, drawer or near the cooktop. Do
not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of thisor ang other
appliance.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the
cooktop can lead to damage and improper
operation of the range.
Stainless Steel Surfaces Ion some models)
0o not use u steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainlesssteel surface, use warm
sudsy water or a stainlesssteel cleaner or
polish.Always wipe the surface in the
direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface.

The gasket is designed with a gap
at the bottom to allow for proper
air circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door
gasket- it has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming
worn, frayed or damaged in any
way or if it has become displaced
on the door, you should have it
replaced.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy.
You may need help removing and replacing
the doo_
To remove the door, open it a few inchesto
the special stop position that will hold the
door open. Grasp firmlg on each side and lift
the door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE:Be careful not to place hands between
the hinge and the oven door frame as the
hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges
are in the special stop position. Positionthe
slots in the bottom of the door squarelg over
the hinges.Then lower the door slowlg and
evenlg over both hinges at the same time. If
the hinges snap back against the oven frame,
pullthem back out.
To cleon the inside of the door:

?_:Becausethe area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self clean cgcle, gou do
not need to clean this bg hand. Ang soap
left on the liner causes additional stains
when the oven is heated.
?_:The area outside the gasket can be
cleaned with a soap-filled scouring pad.
To cleon the outside of the door:
?_Usesoap and water to thoroughlg clean
the top, sidesand front of the oven door.
Rinsewell.You mag also use a glass
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside
of the door.
_ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids mag cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediatelg. When the
surface is cool, clean and rinse.
;;Ji::Do not use oven cleaners,cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel
finish.To make cleaning easier, protect the
oven bottom from excessivespillovers bg
placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below the
shelf gou are cooking on.This is particularlg
important when baking a fruit pie or other
foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit
fillings or other foods that are highlg acidic
(suchas tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauces
with vinegar or lemon juice) mag cause
pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel
surface and should be wiped up immediatelg.
We don't recommend using aluminum foil on
the oven bottom. It can affect airflow if the
holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat
at the bottom of the oven, resultingin poor
baking performance.
To clean up spillovers,use soap and water,
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring
pad. Rinsewell to remove any soap before
self-cleaning.

WARNING!
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
@
®
All ranges can tip end injurg could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range,
attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the
wall. {See Installing the Anti-Tip Device in this
section.) To check if the device is installed and
engaged properlg, carefullg tip the range
forward. The Anti-Tip device should engage
and prevent the range from tipping over.
If gou pull the range out from the wall for
ang reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device
is engaged when gou push the range back
against the wall.
[] For your sufety, never use your range for wurming
or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop ure not
designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should
not be operated without cookware on the grate. Such
abuse could result in fire and damage to your range
and will void your warranty.
[] Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires
could result.
[] Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored
in the oven can ignite.
[] Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it mag be subject to
strong drafts. Ang openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supplg fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed bg
carpeting or woodwork.
Yourrange, like many other household items, is heavy and
can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl
or carpeting. Usecare when moving the range on this type
of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and
inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or
similar material).When the floor covering ends at the front
of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be
built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the
floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or
servicing.Also,make sure your floor covering will withstand
180°R(Seethe Installation Safety Instructions section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F)by the range.
(Seethe Installation 5ofetg Instructions section.)
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners
are properlg seated and level.
Take the accessorgpack out of the oven andlor drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose
during shipping.
37
Installation Instructions
[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of
water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propaneor butane), 10" of water column.
Hake sure UOUare supplging uour range with the tupe of
gas for which it is designed.
Thisrange is convertible for use on natural or propane gas.
If gou decide to use this range on LPgas, conversion must
be made bg a qualified LP installer before attempting to
operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied
to the regulator must be between 4" and 13" of water
column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10" and
13" of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the
inlet pressure must be at least !" greater than the operating
(manifold)pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
manifold must remain in the supplUline regardlessof
whether natural or LPgas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supplg line should have an I.D.of 1/2" and
be 5feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible
connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer
than 6 feet in length.
[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut offthe main gas supplg valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hookup has
been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other
gas appliances when gou turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the
use of a CSAInternational-certified flexible metal appliance
connector is recommended unless local codes require a
hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range.
If the hard piping method is used, UOUmust carefullu align
the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection
is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipejoint compound on, or wrap
pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external)
pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve inthe gas line in
an easilu accessed location outside of the range. Hake
sure evergone operating the range knows where and
how to shut offthe gas supplu to the range.
B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulator Use a backup wrench
on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front, remove the 90°
elbow for easier installation.
C. Install male i/2" or 3/4"flare union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care
to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
E.When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn on the
main gas supplg valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all
joints and connections to check for leaksin the sgstem.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to

!20-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit
protected by a !5-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time
delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Becauseof potential safety hazardsassociatedwith certain
conditions,we strongly recommend againstthe use of an
extension cord. However,if you still elect to use an extension
cord,it is absolutely necessarythat it be a UL-listed,B-wire
grounding-type appliance extensioncord andthat the
current carrying rating of the cord in amperes beequivalent
to, or greater than, the circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT--IPleaseread carefully)
FORPERSONALSAFETY,THISAPPLIANCEMUSTBE
PROPERLYGROUNDED.
Preferred Method
_nist _%Prfo°rPeerusgr°und
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a B-prong
(grounding)plug which mates with a standard B-prong
grounding wall receptacle to minimizethe possibility of
electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have it replaced with a properly grounded B-prong wall
receptacle.
DO NOT,UNDERANY CIRCUMSTANCES,CUTOR REMOVE
THETHIRD (GROUND}PRONGFROMTHE POWERCORD.
A word about GFCI's--GFCI'sare not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's)are devices that
senseleakage of current in a circuit and automatically
switch off power when a threshold leakage levelis detected.
Thesedevicesmust be manually reset by the consumeE
The National ElectricalCode requiresthe use of GFCI'sin
kitchen receptaclesinstalledto serve countertop surfaces.
Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on
a GFCI-protectedcircuit but occasional nuisancetripping of
the GFCIbreaker is possible.
[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
A. Usoge Situations where Applionce Power Cord will be
Disconnected Infrequently.
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuiL Do not
use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes
permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a
properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle bg the use of
a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware stores. The
larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger
slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power cord.
Tempororg Method
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada}
Align large prongs/slots
Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal,
and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The customer should have
the circuit checked bg a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done,
the adapter ground terminal is very likelyto break with
repeated use.Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
41
Installation Instructions
[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
B. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will
be Disconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because
disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on
the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter
ground terminal. The customer should have the two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before
using the appliance.
The installation of appliances designed for mobile home
installation must conform with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safet U Standard, Title 24 CFR,Part
3280 (formerlg the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or,
when such standard is not applicable, the Standard
for Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition
(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups),
ANSIA225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In
Canada, mobile home installation must be in
accordance with the current CAN/CSAZ240/MH
Mobile Home Installation Code.
