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, namelg benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by o bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances con be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off
if necessarg.
_::Have your range installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.
_t_:_Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
_t_:_Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
outlet onlg. 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.

COOKMEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an INTERNALtemperature of 160°F and poultry to
at least an INTERNALtemperature of l80°E Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodbome illness.
OVEN
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape
can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
;_):,:Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
;_i:,:Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
;_i:,:Place the oven shelves in the desired aosition
while the oven is cool.
;_i:,:Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest
position is not designed to slide.
_t::_Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
WARNING: NEVERcover
any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire shelf with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
;_i:,:Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select coo!<wore having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, mal<esure coo!<wore is large enough
to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of
food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be
easily grasped and remain cool.
_;):,:Always use the Life position when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.
_t_::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.
_t_:_Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
_t_:_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,
;_::,:Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.
_t_::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.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheatthe oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating isnecessary for
good resultswhen baking cakes,cookies,
pastry and breads.
Forovenswithout a preheat indicator light or
tone,preheat 10 minutes.
Baking resultswill be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as possible,
Pansshould not touch each other or the walls
of the oven. If you need to usetwo shelves,
stagger the pans soone isnot directly above
the other,and leave approximately 1V2"
between pans,from the front, back and sides
of the wall.
Aluminum Foil
Do notuse aluminum foilon 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 usedto catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several
inches below the food.
Oven Moisture
Asyour oven heats up,the temperature
change ofthe air in the ovenmay cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate asthe oven continuesto heat up.

Using the oven.
Broiling
Broilingiscooking food bg direct heat from
above the food. Host fish and tender cuts of
meat can be broiled.Followthese directions
to keepspattering and smoking to a
minimum.
Your range has a compartment below the
oven for broiling.
Both the oven and broiler compartment
doors must be CLOSED during broiling.
Turn most foods once during cooking (the
exception is thin fillets of fish; oil one side,
place that side down on broiler grid and cook
without turning until done). Time foods for
about one-half the total cooking time, turn
food, then continue to cook to preferred
doneness.
[] You can change the distance of the food
from the heat source bUpositioning a
broiler pan and grid on one of three shelf
positions in the broiler compartment-A
(bottom of broiler compartment), B
(middle) and C (top).
[] Preheating the broiler or oven is not
necessar Uand can produce poor results.
[] If meat has fat or gristle around the edge,
cut vertical slashes through both about
2" apart. If desired, the fat ma U be
trimmed, leaving a lager about 1/8" thick.
[]
[]
[]
[]
Arrange the food on the grid and position
the broiler pan on the appropriate shelf in
the oven or broiling compartment.
Placingfood closer to the flame
increasesexterior browning of the food,
but also increasesspattering and the
possibilitgof fats and meat juices
igniting.

Broiling Guide
The oven and broiler compartment doors
must be closed during broiling.
_:Alwags usea broiler pan and grid. It is
designed to minimize smoking and
spattering bg trapping juices inthe
shielded lower part of the pan.
ij_:,Forsteaksand chops,slash fat evenlg
around the outside edgesof the meat. To
slash,cut crosswisethrough the outer fat
surfacejust to the edge ofthe meat. Use
tongs to turn the meat overto prevent
piercingthe meat and Iosingjuices.
?_:If desired,marinate meats or chicken
beforebroiling. Or brushwith barbecue
sauce last 5 to 10 minutes onlg.
?_:When arranging the food on the pan, do
not let fattg edgeshang over the sides
becausedripping fat could soilthe oven.
ij_::Thebroiler compartment does not need to
be preheated. However,for vergthin foods,
or to increase browning, preheat if desired.
ij_::Frozensteakscan be broiled bg positioning
the shelfat the next lowest shelf position
and increasing the cooking time given in
this guide 1V_times per side.
Thesize,weight, thickness,
starting temperature and Food
gour preference of doneness
will affect broiling times. This Bacon
guide is based on meats at

Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If Fou still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat
yourself
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of Four oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperature.

Thetype of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If Fou
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federalstandards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads,on the
other hand,contain lessfat and more water The high moisture content ofthese spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. Forbest resultswith your old favorite recipes,usemargarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

Burner Grates
Lift out when cool. Firstremove the center
grate and then the sidegrates. Gratesshould
be washed regularly and,of course,after
spillovers.Wash them in hot, soapy water
and rinsewith cleanwater After cleaning,dry
them thoroughly by putting them in u warm
oven for a few minutes. Don't put the grates
buck on the range while they are wet. When
replacing the grates, be surethey are
positioned securelyover the burners.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. Thefinish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
To replace the grates:
[] Placethe sidegrates in position on the
cooktop.
[] Placethe center grate on the cooktop,
making surethe locking feet hook over
the sidegrates.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates
in a covered container Add i/4cup ammonia
and letthem soak several hours or overnight.
Wash,rinsewell and dry.
Although they are durable,the grates
will gradually losetheir shine,regardless
of the best care you can give them. This
isdue to their continual exposure to high
temperatures. Youwill notice this sooner
with lighter colorgrates.
Cooktop Surface
To ovoid 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, fruitjuices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot
ifallowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash and
rinse.Forother spillssuch as fat spatterings,
etc.,wash with soap and water once the
surface has cooled.Then rinseand polish
with a dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials
in an oven or near the cooktop. Do not
store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or 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 (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To cleanthe stainlesssteel surface, use

WARNING!
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
@
®
All ranges can tip and 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 safety, never use your range for warming
or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are 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, likemany other householditems, isheavy and
can settle into soft floor coveringssuch as cushioned vinyl
or carpeting. Usecare when moving the range on this type
of flooring. It isrecommended that the following simple and
inexpensiveinstructions be followed to protect your floor,
The range shouldbe 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 shouldbe
built up with plywood to the same levelor higher than the
floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or
servicing.Also,make sureyour floor covering will withstand
180°E(Seethe Installation SafetyInstructions section.)
Make surethe wall coveringsaround your range can
withstand the heat generated (upto 200°F)by the range.
(Seethe Installation 5ofet_lInstructions section.)
MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
Depending on your range, you'll find the model and serial
numbers on a label on the front frame of the range,behind
the kick panel or broiler compartment.
IMPORTANT!
Removeall tape and packaging. Make sure the burners
are properlg seated and level.
Lift up the cooktop (on models with standard twin
burners) and remove ang packing material under it,
Take the accessorg pack out of the oven andlor drawer.
Checkto be sure that no range parts have come loose
during shipping.
33
Installation Instructions
[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of
4" or 5" (depending on model) of water column on
natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or
butane), 10" of water column.
Make sure gou are supplging gour range with the tgpe
of gas for which it is designed.
This range 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 5" and
:!3" of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between
!0" 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 supplg line regardless of
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 5 feet in length for ease of installation.
[] 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 you
turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-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, gou must
carefullg align the pipe; the range cannot be moved
after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male
(external) pipe threads.
[] Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas
line in an easilg accessed location outside of the
range. Make sure evergone operating the range
knows where and how to shut offthe gas supplg
to the range.
[] Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2"
NPT internal thread at inlet of regulato[ Use a
backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid
damage.
[] Install male !/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the
NPTinternal thread of the manual shut-off valve,
taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep
it from turning.
[] Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
[] 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 leaks in the sgstem.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
)ressure test the gas supplg sgstem of the residence,
A
R WARNING: Do NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve
from the gas supplg piping. When using test pressures
of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supplg sgstem,
simplg isolate the range from the gas supplg sgstem
bg closing the individual shut-off valve.
