IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Installation and Service

Electrical/Mechanical

WARNING

Tip-Over Hazard

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

• Install anti-tip device to range and/or structure per installation

instructions.

• Engage the range to the anti-tip device installed to the structure.

• Reengage anti-tip device if range is moved.

• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to

children or adults.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach an approved and packed anti-tip device to the floor.

Check for proper installation by carefully tipping the range forward. The anti-tip device should engage

and prevent the range from tipping over.

If the range is pulled out away from the wall for any reason, make sure the anti-tip device is reengaged

after the range has been pushed back into place.

Never completely get rid of the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device

properly.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.

DO NOT step/sit/lean on the door or drawer to prevent accidental tipping of the range.

Follow basic precautions when installing and using this range to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

injury, or death to persons, including:

This range must be properly installed and located in accordance with the installation instructions before

it is used.

Professional installation is strongly recommended.

Due to the size and weight of the range, it is highly recommended that two or more people move or

install this appliance.

All ranges can tip over and cause severe injuries.

Never try to repair or replace this appliance on your own unless it is specifically recommended in this

manual. This appliance should be serviced only by a qualified service technician.

Know the location of the gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

Properly remove or destroy the packaging materials after the appliance is unpacked.

Unplug or disconnect power before servicing.

Do not tamper with the controls.

Grates and griddles (if equipped) are heavy. They can be dangerous if dropped.

The inner portion of the split oven rack (if equipped) could drop down accidentally if not assembled

properly. Place the inner rack in the proper position within the outer rack.

Always position the oven racks at the same level on each cavity side. Uneven racks could cause food to

slide to the lower side, posing a risk of burns.

WARNING

Danger to children

Fire

Do not store any object of interest to children on the cooktop or back guard of the range. Children

climbing on the range to reach items could be killed or seriously injured.

Do not let little children touch the range.

The cooktop grates and griddle (if equipped) are heavy and presents a risk of injury if dropped on a foot.

Teach children not to touch or play with grates or griddle.

The inner rack of the Split Rack can be dropped if it is not assembled properly. Place the Inner rack in the

proper place on the Outer rack. Always insert the rack or split rack assembly (if equipped) on the same

level of the oven cavity side.

Keep children away from the door when opening or closing it as they may bump themselves on the

door or catch their fingers in the door.

Keep all packaging materials out of reach of children. Failure to dispose of plastic bags could result in

suffocation.

Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area where a range is in use. They should never be

allowed to sit or stand on any part of a range.

Teach children not to touch or play with the controls or any part of the range.

Do not leave the oven door open. An opened door could entice children to hang on the door or crawl

inside the oven. It is recommended to utilize the control/door lockout feature to reduce the risk of

misuse from children.

Before disposing of the range, cut off the power cord to prevent it being connected to a power source.

Remove the door to prevent children and animals from getting trapped.

Do not touch oven burners or interior surfaces of the oven.

Cooking surfaces, grates, cooktop burners and caps, as well as oven walls may be hot even though they

are dark in color. Interior oven surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do

not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact oven burners, or interior surfaces of the

oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Do not let a pot holder touch a hot heating element. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth as a pot

holder.

Do not use your range to heat unopened food containers or to dry newspapers.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Clean vents frequently to avoid grease buildup.

Never use your range for warming or heating a room. Doing so could result in carbon monoxide

poisoning and/or overheating of the oven.

Loose-fitting or hanging garments should not be worn while using this appliance.

DO NOT STORE OR USE combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors or liquids in the

vicinity of this appliance. See “WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS” under the Gas Warnings.

Do not pour water into the cooktop well while cleaning the cooktop. This could leak down into the

range gas and electrical systems creating a risk of electrical shock or high levels of Carbon Monoxide,

due to corrosion of the gas valves or ports.

Do not use water on a grease fire. Water might cause a grease fire to explode, spreading the fire and

creating a larger fire and health hazard. Turn off heat source and smother with tight-fitting lid or use a

multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking, and greasy

spillovers could ignite.

Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks. Use a soapy water mixture around the area you are checking

instead. If there is a gas leak, you will see small bubbles in the soapy water mixture at the point of the

leak.

Do not place portable appliances, or any other object other than cookware on the cooktop. Damage or

fire could occur if cooktop is hot.

Read instructions completely and carefully.

Installation of this range must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA.54, latest edition. In Canada, installation must conform with

the current Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the current Propane Installation Code,

CAN/CGA-B149.2, and with local codes where applicable. This range has been design-certified by UL

according to ANSI Z21.1, latest edition, and Canadian Gas Association according to CAN/CGA-1.1, latest

edition.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier.

Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off.

Always use NEW flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance. Never reuse old flexible

connectors. The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal injury.

Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon

monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

SURFACE BURNER WARNINGS

This appliance must be properly grounded. Plug your range into a 120- volt grounded outlet that is only

used for this appliance. Do not remove the grounding (third) prong from the plug. Firmly plug the

power cord into the wall outlet. If you are not sure your electrical outlet is grounded, it is your personal

responsibility and obligation to have a properly grounded, three-prong outlet installed in accordance

with local and national codes. Do not use a damaged power plug or loose wall outlet. Do not use an

extension cord with this appliance. In addition, do not use an adapter or otherwise defeat the

grounding plug. If you do not have a proper outlet or have any doubt, consult a licensed electrician.

Locate the range out of kitchen traffic paths and drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation.

This appliance should be positioned in such a way that the power plug is accessible.

Do not install in an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions.

Remove all packaging materials from the range before operating it. These materials can ignite, causing

smoke and/or fire damage.

Install this appliance on a level and hard floor that can support its weight. Synthetic flooring, like

linoleum, must withstand 180° F (82° C) temperatures without shrinking, warping, or discoloring. Never

install the range directly over interior kitchen carpeting unless a sheet of 0.25-inch plywood or similar

insulator is placed between the range and carpeting.

Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and exhaust necessary for

the range to operate properly with correct combustion.

Air openings are located behind the range, under the oven control panel, at the top and bottom of the

oven door, and under the storage drawer.

Large scratches or impacts on door glass can cause the glass to break or shatter.

Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat, up to 200° F (93° C), generated by

the range.

Avoid placing cabinets above the range. This reduces the hazard caused by reaching over the open

flames of operating burners.

If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a minimum clearance of 40 in (102 cm) between the

cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.

Install a ventilation hood or an externally vented Over The Range Microwave Oven over the range

cooktop that is as wide as the range, centered over the range, and projects forward beyond the front of

the cabinets.

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.

Remove any accessories from the oven and/or lower drawer.

Check to make sure no range parts have come loose during shipping.

Seal any openings in the wall behind the appliance and in the floor under the appliance after the gas

supply line is installed.

Follow basic precautions when installing and using this range to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

injury, or death to persons, including:

Use proper pan sizes. Avoid pans that are unstable or warped. Select cookware having flat bottoms

large enough to cover the burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to

contain your food. This will save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since

heavy spattering or spillovers left on the range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily

grasped and remain cool.

Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners. Make sure the burners have ignited.

Never leave the surface burners unattended at HIGH flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and

greasy spillovers that might catch on fire.

Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive

flames past cookware edges can be hazardous.

Only use dry pot holders. Pot holders with moisture in them may result in burns from steam when they

come in contact with hot surfaces.

WARNING

OVEN WARNINGS

Keep pot holders away from open flames when lifting cookware. Never use a towel or bulky cloth in

place of a pot holder.

Keep all plastic away from the surface burners or any open flame.

When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.

Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop, but not over other

surface burners. This will minimize the chance of burns, spillovers, and ignition of flammable materials

due to bumping the pan.

Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite and burn you if they

touch a surface burner.

Always heat frying oils slowly, and watch as it heats. If foods are being fried at high heat, carefully watch

during the cooking process. If a combination of fats or oils are to be used during frying, they need to be

stirred together before heating.

Use a deep fryer thermometer whenever possible. This prevents overheating fryer beyond the smoking

point.

Use as little fat as possible for shallow or deep-fat frying. Using too much fat can cause spillovers when

food is added.

Items should always be removed from the cooktop when they are done cooking. Never leave plastic

items on the cooktop. This prevents the hot air from the vent from igniting flammable items, melting, or

building up pressure in closed containers.

This cooktop is not designed to flame foods or cooking with a wok or wok ring attachment. If foods are

flamed, they should only be flamed under a ventilation hood that is on.

Always make sure foods being fried are thawed and dried. Moisture of any kind can cause hot fat to

bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

Never move a pan or deep-fat fryer full of hot fat. It should always be cooled before moving.

If range is located near a window, NEVER hang long curtains or paper blinds on that window. They could

blow over the surface burners and ignite, causing a fire hazard.

Always make sure the controls are OFF and the grates are cool before they are removed to prevent any

possibility of burning.

Grease is flammable and should be handled very carefully. Do not use water on grease fires.

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 off the surface burner controls before removing cookware. All surface burner controls

should be turned OFF when not cooking.

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 causes the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that

allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

NEVER cover any holes or passages in the bottom oven cover. NEVER cover an entire oven rack with

aluminum foil or like material. Covering bottom cover and/or racks blocks airflow through the oven and

could cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Do not use aluminum foil or foil liners anywhere in the oven. Misuse traps heat and could cause a fire

hazard or damage the range.

DO NOT clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to

damage or move the gasket.

Always follow the manufacturers directions when using cooking or roasting bags in the oven.

Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The escaping hot air and steam can

cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

Do not use the oven for storage. Stored items can be damaged or ignite.

Selecting a location

Clearances and dimensions

BEFORE YOU BEGIN to install your range, refer to the following information, dimensions, and clearances. Do not locate

your range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Provide adequate clearances between your range and adjacent

combustible surfaces. These dimensions must be met for safe use of your range. The location of the electrical outlet and

gas piping may be adjusted to meet the following dimensions and clearances.

For installation in Canada, a free-standing range is not to be installed closer than 4.7 in. (12 cm) from any adjacent surface.

Minimum dimensions

CAUTION:

Your range has been designed to comply with the maximum allowable wood cabinet temperature of 194° F (90 °C). Make sure that the

wall covering, counter tops, and cabinets around the range can withstand the heat (up to 194° F (90° C)) generated by your range. If

not, discoloration, de-lamination, or melting may occur.

WARNING:

If you have overhead cabinets, use a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 in. (12.7 cm) beyond the front of the

cabinets. This helps dissipate any heat buildup in the overhead cabinets to prevent death, personal injury, or a fire hazard. Install

above the cooktop with a clearance of not less than .25 in. (.6 cm) between the hood and the underside of the combustible material or

metal cabinet. The hood must be at least as wide as your range and centered over your range. Clearance between the cooking surface

and the ventilation hood surface must never be less than 24 in. (61 cm).

Exception: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the installations packed

with that appliance.

• 30 in. (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood

or metal cabinet. Or If there is not a 30 in. (76.2 cm) minimum clearance, 24 in. (61 cm) minimum when the bottom of

the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than .25 in. (.64 cm) flame-retardant mill board covered with not

Gas requirements

Your range is convertible for use with natural or propane gas. The factory default is natural gas. If you decide to use this

range on LP gas, conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the range.

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5 in. (13 cm) of water column on natural gas or 10 in. (25 cm) of water

column on LP gas (propane or butane).

Do not attempt to convert your range from the natural or LP gas without consulting the gas supplier.

For correct operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 5 and 13 in. (13 and 33 cm) of

water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10 and 13 in. (25 and 33 cm) of water column.

When checking the operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) greater than the operating

(manifold) pressure as given.

The pressure regulator, located at the inlet of the range manifold, must remain in the supply line for either natural or LP

gas. A flexible-metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 0.5 in.

(1.3 cm) and be 5 ft. (152 cm) in length for ease of installation.

In Canada, flexible connectors must be single-wall metal connectors no longer than 6 ft. (183 cm) in length.

Commonwealth of Massachusetts requirements

Special instructions for appliances installed in the State of Massachusetts: Your range must be installed by a qualified

plumber or gas fitter.

Electrical requirements

• Your range is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The

plug must be firmly plugged into a three-prong outlet that is correctly installed and grounded in accordance with all

Installing your gas range

Important notes to the installer:

1 Read this manual before installing the range.

2 Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

3 Make sure that you leave these instructions with the range.

4 Before installing the range in an area covered with linoleum or any synthetic floor covering, make sure that the floor

covering can withstand temperatures of at least 180° F (82° C) without shrinking, warping, or discoloring.

5 Do not install the range over carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of .25 in. (.6 cm) thick plywood

between the range and carpeting.

Before installing your range

1 Remove the exterior and interior packing.

2 Wipe the surfaces of the range with a damp cloth or sponge, then wipe them dry with a clean, dry cloth.

Connecting to gas

1 Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting an old range. Leave the valve off until the new hookup is

complete. Don't forget to relight the pilots on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

2 Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessed location outside of your range.

Make sure that everyone operating your range knows where the valve is and how to shut off the gas supply to your

range.

3 Install a male 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) flare union adapter to the 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) NPT internal thread at the regulator inlet. Use a

backup wrench on the elbow regulator fitting to avoid damage.

When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.

4 Install a male 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) or 0.75 in. (1.9 cm) 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.

5 Connect a flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on your range. Position your range to allow room for the

connection at the shut-off valve.

WARNING: We recommend that a professional installer install your range.

If your range is not installed correctly, incorrect electrical grounding or gas leaks can cause a fire or explosion which can lead to injury

or death.

WARNING: If the gas is not installed correctly to your range, a gas leak can cause a fire or explosion which can lead to death or injury.

We recommend that a professional installer connect the gas.

WARNINGS:

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the Fire Department.

Never use an old connector when installing your range. If you use the hard-piping method, carefully align the pipe. You can’t move

your after the gas is connected.

Notes:

• Because hard piping restricts movement of your range, we recommend that you use a CSA International-certified flexible metal

appliance connector unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.

• To prevent gas leaks, apply pipe-joint compound or wrap pipe-thread tape with Teflon on all male (external) pipe threads.

CAUTIONS:

Do not over-tighten the flare union adapter to the NTP internal thread at the regulator.

To prevent gas leaks, apply pipe-joint compound in the vicinity of the joints.

6 When all connections have been made, make sure that all range controls are in the OFF positions, then turn on the

main gas supply valve.

7 Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks.

WARNING: Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks. An explosion or fire may occur causing person injury or death.

Placing your range and connecting to power

1 Plug in the power cord. Make sure that the outlet meets local or national electrical codes.

2 Slide the range into place.

3 Check the gas supply line to make sure that it did not get damaged and it stayed connected during positioning.

4 Check to make sure that the back leg of the range slid into the anti-tip bracket. Carefully tip the range forward to

ensure that the anti-tip bracket engages the back brace and prevents tip-over.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping, your range must be secured by the provided anti-tip device.

• All ranges can tip, resulting in personal injury.

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

• Install the anti-tip device to your range and structure by following the installation instructions.

• Engage your range to the anti-tip device installed to the structure.

• If you pull the range away from the wall for cleaning, service, or any other reason, make sure that the anti-tip device is correctly

reengaged when you push the range back against the wall. In the event of abnormal usage (such as a person standing, sitting, or

leaning on an open door), failure to take this precaution can result in tipping of the range. Personal injury might result from spilled

hot liquids or from the range itself.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

WARNINGS: Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock.

• Do not use an adapter plug, an extension cord, or remove the grounding prong from the power cord. Failure to follow this warning

can cause serious injury, fire, or death.

• The range is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly

into a correctly grounded receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

• The power cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong ground-type outlet, grounded to conform with the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 latest edition, or Canadian Electrical Code (CSA) and all local codes and ordinances.

• For personal safety, the range must be correctly grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an electrical

outlet that is correctly polarized and grounded.

• If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, have it replaced with a correctly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed

by a qualified electrician.

• Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Leveling your range

Your range should be level. If your range is not level, the door may not close or seal correctly which can cause uneven

heating and gas wastage problems.

1 Make sure the range is positioned where you want it.

2 Using a wrench, level the range by turning the front leveling legs if necessary. Counterclockwise shortens the leg and

lowers the range. Clockwise lengthens the leg and raises the range.

Adjust the leveling legs only as far as necessary to level the range. Extending the leveling legs more than necessary or

removing legs can cause the range to be unstable.

3 If range is next to or between cabinets, make sure that the cooktop (without the surface burner grates) is level with the

counter tops.

4 Position an oven rack in the center rack position. Check the level of the range with a carpenter level using the two

positions.

5 After your range is level, make sure that the rear leg is engaged with the anti-tip device.

Notes:

• To make it easier to adjust the feet, have someone push against the top of the range to tilt it slightly.

• Adjusting the two front legs is usually sufficient, but all four legs adjust if necessary.

Before you begin using your range

Before turning on the burners or oven:

• Remove all packaging materials.

• Wipe the surfaces of your range with a damp cloth or sponge, then dry with a clean, dry cloth.

When you turn on a burner or the oven for the first time, smoke and odors may be emitted. This is normal. Make sure that

the room is well ventilated.

ADDITIONAL SURFACE BURNER WARNINGS

Follow the surface burner warnings in SURFACE BURNER WARNINGS

on page 9. In addition, follow these warnings:

• The burner head can be blocked by food or dust. Clean the head if it appears blocked. If you clean the head with water,

assemble it only after it is completely dry. If the head is wet, it might prevent the burners from igniting.

• Do not pour water on the cooktop for cleaning. It can get inside the range and cause the parts inside to rust.

• Only ignite the cooktop burners with the burner caps in place. If the burner caps are not in place, you can damage

the

controls or cause an unintended large or dangerous flame.

• Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners. Make sure that the burners have ignited.

• If ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF and wait until the gas already emitted has dissipated. If you keep the knob in the

LITE position without proper ignition, the emitted gas might cause an explosion.

• Heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, ALWAYS allow heated

beverages to stand at least 20 seconds after you have turned the burner off so that the temperature in the liquid can

stabilize.

• After turning on a surface burner, check to make sure that the burner has ignited. Adjust the level of the flame by

turning the burner knob.

• Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Flames that extend pa

cookware edges can be hazardous.

• To decrease spattering when cooking foods with lots of liquid, such as meat sauce or stew, adjust the flame to low and

stir frequently.

• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the burner knob quickly. Watch the flame to make sure it stays on.

Tips for saving gas

• Use dark-colored or enamel-coated cookware in the oven because the heat transmission is better.

• Before cooking, preheat the oven if the recipe calls for preheating.

• Do not open the oven door frequently during cooking to maintain the oven temperature and save energy.

• Try to cook more than one dish in the oven at the same time whenever possible.

• If you plan to cook more than one dish, cook them one after another. The oven will already be hot.

• Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.

• Use pots and pans with covers for cooking.

• Select the burner that most closely matches the size of the bottom of the pot you are using. Always select the correc

pot size for your dishes. Larger pots require more gas.

WARNING: All electrical and gas equipment with moving parts can be dangerous. Making sure that you read and understand all

safety information. See IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on page 4. Pay particular attention to SURFACE BURNER WARNINGS on

page 9 and OVEN WARNINGS on page 10.

CAUTION: Do not use harsh detergents, scouring powder, or any sharp objects to clean your range. These items can damage the

surfaces of the range.

WARNINGS:

• Do not touch any hot surface on your range. Use oven gloves or potholders.

• Do not let children near your range.

WARNING:

Never Operate the Top Surface Cooking Section of this Appliance Unattended

• Failure to follow this warning statement could result in a fire, explosion, or burn hazard that could cause property damage, personal

injury, or death.

• If a fire should occur, keep away from the appliance and immediately call your Fire Department.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EXTINGUISH AN OIL/GREASE FIRE WITH WATER.

Your range cooktop has five surface burners. The different burner sizes make sure that you have the correct heat source for

each cooking job.

Using the surface burners

The right rear burner provides precise cooking performance for delicate foods and foods that require low heat for long

cooking times. The right rear burner lets you use the LO setting for a low simmer setting.

The right front burner provides maximum output. This burner can also be used as a general-purpose burner, but it is

designed to provide quick heat to large cookware. The right front burner spreads out the heat with a larger circle of flames

.The

left front

left rear bu

rners are general-purpose burners that can be used for most cooking. The

settings on

the control knobs provide a wide range of cooking temperatures to meet your cooking needs. This provides

better heat distribution for larger cookware (12 in. [30.5 cm]) or larger pots and pans.

Each surface burner has a control knob with settings from HI to LO. They also have a LITE setting that is only used to light

the flame. The electronic ignition system sparks when the control knob is in the LITE position.

The surface burner indicator next to the control knob shows which burner the knob controls.

Using the correct cookware

Using the correct cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended cooking times. Using the

correct pans reduces cooking times and cooks food more evenly. Look for the following pan characteristics:

• Flat bottom and straight sides

• Tight-fitting lid

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan

• Pan is well-balanced

• Pan size matches the amount of food being prepared.

• Made of material that conducts heat well.

• The pan diameter matches the surface burner flame diameter.

WARNINGS:

Before using the surface burners, make sure to follow all the safety warnings and precautions as listed. Failure to do so could result in

product damage, personal injury, and/or death.

When you want to move a pot or pan onto another burner, lift it up and place it on the other burner. Do not slide a pot or pan from

one burner to another.

Indicator

What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface burner to the pan

bottom.

Lighting a burner

Make sure all surface burners are positioned and assembled correctly.

1 Push in and turn the control knob for a surface burner to the LITE position. The “clicking” sound indicates the electronic

ignition system is operating correctly. The burner lights in about four seconds, after the air has been purged from the

supply line.

2 After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the setting you want. The “clicking” sound stops and the flame height

changes from Max. to Min. when you turn the control knob.

Manually lighting a burner

If a power failure occurs, you can manually light the surface burners.

1 Hold a long gas grill lighter to the surface burner you want to light.

2 Push in and turn the control knob for that burner to the LITE position.

3 After the burner has lit, set the control knob and the burner to the setting you want.

Selecting the flame size

The flames on the burners should always stay under the cookware. The flames should never extend beyond the bottom

surface or up the sides of the cookware.

Always watch the flame when adjusting the heat setting with the control knob. The flame should always match the size of

the cookware being used.

MATERIAL DESCRIPTION

Aluminum Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food cause aluminum to

darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting.)

Copper Excellent heat conductor, but discolors easily.

Stainless Steel Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. It is durable, easy

to clean, and resists staining.

Cast-iron A poor conductor, but retains heat well. Cooks evenly once cooking

temperature is reached.

Enamelware Heating characteristics vary depending on base material.

Glass Slow heat conductor. Only use glass cookware that it is designated

for oven use.

WARNING: Use extreme caution when manually lighting a surface burner.

WARNING: Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware do not result in faster heating, but could result in a fire hazard or personal

injury.

WARNING: Before using the surface burners, make sure to follow all the safety warnings and precautions as listed. Failure to do so

could result in product damage, personal injury, or death.

Using the oven

Using the oven vent

The oven vent is located under the oven control panel.

Do not block or place items in front of the oven vent. Correct air circulation prevents oven burner combustion problems

and provides good cooking results.

Because the oven vent and surrounding area can become hot, use care when placing items near the vent. Hot steam could

heat or melt items placed in front of the vent.

Using the oven light

Touch Oven Light to turn the light on or off. The oven light lets you check the cooking progress without opening the oven

door.

Positioning the oven racks

You can remove and reposition the oven racks in any of the six rack positions. Each oven rack has a built-in stop to prevent

it from accidentally being pulled completely out. Correct positioning of the oven racks provides the best cooking results.

Removing an oven rack

1 Pull the rack straight out until it stops.

2 Lift up the front of the oven rack and pull to remove it from the oven.

Note: The rack position above 6 is not usable.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. This disturbs the heat circulation and results in poor baking.

• Do not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom because it could cause damage.

• Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.

• When placing an oven rack in the top most rack position, make sure that the rack is stably situated on the embossed stop.

Replacing an oven rack

1 Place the back edge of the rack on the a rack support.

2 Lift up the front of the rack and slide it into the oven.

Baking layer cakes

• Centering the baking pans in the oven produces better cooking results.

• When baking multiple items, make sure that you leave a 1 to 1.5 in. (2.5 to 3.8 cm) space around each item.

• When baking or fan baking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 3 and 5.

• Place two pans in the rear of the top rack and the other two pans in the front of the bottom rack.

Note:

• Use appropriate non-stick coated metal sheets or aluminum containers or use heat-resistant silicone molds.

• Make the best use of the space on the rack. We recommend placing the baking pan in the middle of the rack.

• Select the correct shelf position before turning the oven on.

• Do not move oven shelves when hot. If you must move a rack while the oven is hot, do not let the potholder contact

the hot oven burner.

• Keep the oven door closed as much as possible.

Cleaning surface burner grates and assemblies

1 Turn off all controls and make sure that all parts have cooled.

2 Lift up and remove the burner grates from the cooktop. Make note of the burner sizes and locations.

3 Lift up and remove its from the burner heads.

4 Lift up and remove the burner heads from the valve manifolds.

5 Clean all removable burner parts in warm, soapy water. Do not use steel-wool pads or abrasive cleaners on any burner

part.

6 Rinse thoroughly, then completely dry all parts before you reassemble them.

Note: Starter electrodes are not removable and should only be wiped clean when the controls are in the OFF position.

7 Set all burner heads on top of the manifold valves in the same locations you removed them from. The hole on the side

of a burner head goes over the electrode. The burner heads are correctly installed when they are flat on the top of the

manifold valves.

8 Set the burner caps on top of the burner heads. These also need to be flat on top of the burner heads to ensure proper

and safe operation.

9 Replace the burner grates on top of the range cooktop.

10 Push in and turn each surface burner control knob to the LITE position, let each burner light, then set each control

knob back to a burner setting to make sure each burner operates correctly.

Cleaning the cooktop

The cooktop surface is a porcelain-enamel surface. To prevent this surface from becoming dull, wipe up and clean spills as

they happen. Foods with a lot of acid (for example, tomatoes, sauerkraut, and fruit juices) or foods with high sugar content

can cause dull spots if allowed to set.

1 Make sure that all surface burners are OFF.

2 When surfaces have cooled, remove the burner grates.

3 Clean the cooktop surface with warm, soapy water and a soft, damp cloth. If a spill goes under a surface burner, remove

the surface burner cap and head to access and clean the spill.

4 Rinse with clean water, then dry and polish with a soft, dry cloth.

5 Reassemble burner components (if removed) and replace the burner grates.

WARNING: Do not use a steel-wool pad or abrasive cleaners on stainless steel surfaces. Abrasive pads and cleaners will scratch the

surface and damage the finish.

WARNING: Do not remove or lift the cooktop during cleaning. Doing so could damage the gas lines leading to the surface burner

manifolds, causing poor or dangerous operation.
