inside or in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Keep items that could explode, such as aerosol cans, away from the product. Do
not store explosive or ammable materials in nearby cabinets or areas. When operating the oven or broiler, do not touch the surfaces
of the ceramic tile broiler, the rack or rack supports, the walls of the oven or the inside surfaces of the oven door – interior surfaces
become hot enough to cause burns. The heat deector, which deects heat away from the control panel, and the oven door sides will
also be hot during use.
POWER FAILURE WARNING: Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal injury, when applicable do not attempt
to light or operate range burners, grills, griddles, the oven or broiler during a power failure. Safety systems which detect the presence of
an ignition source and operate the gas safety valve do not function during a power failure. Be sure all gas valve knobs are turned to and
remain in the OFF position during a power failure.
Do not store items of interest to children above or near the appliance. Children, as well as adults, must never be allowed to sit, stand or
climb on any part of the appliance. Serious personal injury may occur.
Always DISCONNECT the electrical plug from the wall outlet power source before servicing the unit. It is recommended that a
dedicated electrical circuit be used for this appliance. Always turn gas shut-o valve to OFF position before servicing unit.
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California
to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposures to such substances. Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is operated, there
may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors using approved overhead ventilation equipment or by opening the windows
and/or doors in the room where the appliance is located. This appliance must not be operated without a properly sized and functional
ventilation hood.

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 appliance. Do not use the range top or oven as a food or kitchen item storage area.
Never block or cover any slots, holes or passages located anywhere inside or outside the range. These structures are important to safe
operation of the appliance and doing so may block airow through the oven or cooktop possibly causing carbon monoxide poisoning
or re. Routinely keep all slots free of grease and other materials.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. DO NOT USE any device or accessory not
specically recommended in this guide. DO NOT USE pan or pan covers on surface units, grills or griddles. These devices can create
serious safety hazards including personal injury, create performance problems and may damage the appliance. Do not store or use
corrosive chemicals, vapors, ammables or non-food products in or near this appliance. It is specically designed for use when heating
or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals while heating or cleaning could result in personal injury or damage to the appliance.
Purchase a kitchen re extinguisher for your home and store it in close proximity to your appliance. Should an uncontrolled re occur,
never use water on grease res. Never pick up a aming pan. The oven door interior and exterior, especially the glass can get hot
during operation. Do not touch the glass – use the door handle to open or close the range door.
The push-to-turn gas valve knobs on the appliance are designed to be child-safe, however, they are not a guarantee of operation.

Never wear loose tting or long sleeved apparel while cooking. Never wear garments made of ammable materials. Clothing may ignite
or catch utensil handles. DO NOT drape towels or other items on door handles. These items could ignite and cause burns.
If your product is a range or oven ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired position before you start cooking and while the oven is
cool. Always use dry and sturdy pot-holders to carefully slide the oven rack out to add or remove food.
If your product is a range or cooktop located near a window, be certain window curtains or other ammable objects do not blow over
or near the range burners; the items could catch on re.
If operating the surface burners, the ame must be adjusted to just cover the bottom of the pan or pot. Excessive high ame settings
may cause scorching of the nearby counter-top surface, as well as the outside of the utensil and handles.
ALWAYS turn the appliance o at the end of cooking.
When dehydrating food items, periodically check during the process to ensure that they do not catch on re.
If you are “aming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft from the fan could cause the ames to
spread out of control.
Care must be exercised if your appliance is equipped with a high-shelf. During heavy or continuous use, this shelf may be come hot. Do
not place combustible materials or plastic items on the shelf.
Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing them from the valve stems for cleaning.

BEFORE USING THE NEW COOKTOP
»Before using the cooktop for the rst time, wash the outside
area with soap and water to remove any shipping and factory
residue.
»The burner grates are designed in sections and are easy to
remove and clean. They are made of cast iron with a porcelain
coating and will remain hot after the burner is turned o
creating a residual heat for continued cooking. Use caution when
handling.
»Your new professional Range is equipped with burners that are
similar to those used in restaurants. The burner heads are large
and designed to ensure even heat distribution for better cooking.
They must be in place and properly seated before lighting.
»The Range must not be operated without the burner heads.
»There are no continuously burning pilot lights. An electronic
spark ignition system is used to light the burner. If the ame
should go out from a boil-over or a strong draft, the burner will
automatically reignite.
The surface burners are rated at dierent power levels:
When you are using the surface burners, select the burner power
and location depending on the heating or cooking function you
would like to perform.
A normal ame is blue in color and steady. Foreign materials in
the kitchen air or the gas line, especially in new construction
installations, may cause some orange color bursts during initial
operation. This will disappear with continued use. Small yellow tips
on the ends of ames are normal when using LP gas.
If the ames look odd, (too small, too large, lazy or drifting, uneven
around the burner circle, etc.), check to see that the burner head
is seated correctly on the burner base. Do this when the burner is
cold by gently rocking the burner head or rotating the head from
side to side. If it is correctly seated, it will nest in detents, in the
case of the sealed burners, or on the corresponding pin/hole for
open burners. If this does not correct the problem, turn to the
Troubleshooting section of this manual.
AUTO RE-IGNITION
The surface burners are equipped with a special ignition and
re-ignition system that senses the presence of ame and re-ignites
the burner should the ame disappear while gas is still owing to
the burner.
Strong drafts, spills and general grime inuence the operation of
the automatic re-ignition system – a clean system will generally
function better than a dirty system. Periodically, remove any
materials or grime that might build up on the high voltage spark
electrode – using a toothbrush or other non-metallic cleaning
utensil.
OPERATION OF THE BURNERS
1. Press in on the knob that corresponds to the burner that you
would like to light. Use the front panel graphic to conrm
your selection until you become familiar with the range. Turn
the knob counter-
clockwise to the
“American Flame”
icon located on the
knob – this is the light
position of the burner
valve.
2. The igniter for all
the surface burners
will begin sparking –
however, gas will ow
to only the selected
burner.
3. After the burner
lights, the igniter
clicking will stop –
indicating that the
ame sensing and
re-ignition system is
active on the selected burner.
4. Rotate the knob to any ame setting that you desire between
MAX and SIMMER.

OPERATING YOUR COOKTOP
COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS
To avoid the risk of serious injury, damage to the range or
cookware, please observe the following guidelines.
Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc.,
should never be used on the cooktop.
Placement of large stock pots should be staggered when used
on the cooktop.
Select the base diameter of the pot to match the diameter
of the ame. The diameter of the ame and the diameter
of the pan bottom should match or be slightly smaller. Too
large or too small pots on a burner will compromise cooking
performance.
Do not place food packaged or wrapped in aluminum foil
directly on the burner grate above the burner. Aluminum foil
can melt during cooking.
Be careful to not let plastic, paper or cloth come in contact
with a hot burner grate. These materials can catch re or melt.
Never let a pan boil dry – and if it occurs remember it can be
extremely hot – and very dangerous. If this should occur, turn
o the burner immediately. Wait a while, until the pot cools
down enough to handle – this could be several minutes, but
could save you from burns or other serious injury.
The pan bottom should be at, the heavier the better – and
well balanced on the cooktop grate – sitting at without
rocking – preferably with tight tting lids. Try not to slide the
pot across the grates – while it is very handy to do so – you
may end up scratching the pot or the grate.
Always be careful when using high ames, as in wok cooking,
as they may contact ammable materials or make the handles
of the wok very hot. Use the wok ring (optional) to stabilize
the wok.
SUGGESTED BURNER SETTINGS

OPERATING YOUR RANGE
COOKTOP-BURNER OPERATION (Sealed and Open Burners)
Make sure there is nothing on the burners and/or grates prior to
igniting the burners. Push the knob in, and turn it counter-clockwise
to the HIGH position. Adjust the ame to the desired height. The
burners are equipped with a ame-sensing ignition system that
automatically detects the presence of ame on the burners, and
relights in the event the ame goes out.
CARE AND CLEANING
It is always easier to clean as you go – and while some evenings
you’d rather sit down with a good book instead of a Scrubby,
keeping your range cooktop and oven in a ready to go state for
the next meal makes everything a little more tolerable.
When cleaning the range:
»Use the mildest procedure that will do the job eciently and
eectively – and since some cleaners are harsher than others, it
is best to try them on a small, inconspicuous area rst.
»Use only clean, soft cloths, sponges, paper towels, plastic
brushes, non-metal soap pads for cleaning and scouring.
»When cleaning the oven door, control panel, top curved
section (called the bull nose) or the at top area – always
pretend it is made of wood – and rub the nish in the direction
of the grain. This is the most eective cleaning direction, to
prevent marring the surface.
»Any part of this appliance can be cleaned with hot, sudsy water.
When rinsing is required, rinse thoroughly.
»Always wipe dry immediately to reduce the appearance of
water marks.
TO CLEAN THE COOKTOP
The cooktop is constructed from brushed stainless steel with
brass burner heads. The burner cap, grates and optional wok ring
are steel coated with porcelain.
»Do not use abrasives on stainless steel. Use towels, sponges or
soft plastic scrubbers. RUB ONLY WITH THE “GRAIN.”
»Do not use steel wool pads or green rough Scrubby’s.
»Wash all cooking surfaces with hot water and dish detergent
such as Simple Green, Ivory Liquid, or Joy.
»Rub stubborn spots with baking soda or liquid cleaner such as
Windex All Surface Cleaner or 409.
»Grates and burner caps can be soaked in hot soapy water. Mild
scouring cleaners can be used, such as Bon Ami or Cameo on
grates and burner caps.
Do not soak the knobs in water or put them in the
dishwasher
»Prior to cleaning, ensure knobs are in the o position.
»Grasp each knob and pull up to remove.
»Wash the knob with soft lint-free cloth or non-abbrasive pad
and a solution of warm water and mild dish detergent.
»To reinstall the knobs, align the at of the "D-shaped" opening
of each knob with the end of its respective burner and knob
valve shaft, and carefully push the knob on until it stops.

CARE AND CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
PART / MATERIAL CLEANING SUGGESTIONS BEING CAREFUL
Main Top/
Porcelain Enamel
Soft Scrub may be used here. With a cool or slightly warm
surface, use a damp sponge or cloth as recommended by the
manufacturer.
Since the surface is glass (it can be scratched by certain
materials) try to rub gently in small circles to allow time and
chemical reactions to take place.
Control Knobs/
Powder Paint
Use dry hands to pull o the knobs; hot sudsy water works
best here… …with a sponge to avoid scratching
Chrome Knob Bezels Hot soapy water works well here, with a sponge or soft
cloth.
As with any round feature that meets the stainless steel grain,
be careful to clean the bezels in a circular motion – and not
contact the stainless steel control panel.
Exterior Finish
Island Trim
Use hot soapy water, Fantastic, Formula 409, rinse and dry
immediately. For hard water spots, try household vinegar or
CLR. If there is any heat discoloration, consider using Zud,
Wright’s All Purpose Polish or Blue Away.
Rub lightly in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel.
Salt (sodium chloride), chlorine or chlorine compounds in
some cleaners are corrosive to stainless steel.
Grates/Porcelain
Enamel on Cast Iron
Hot water and detergent with scrubby, or soap lled steel
wool pad for really tough stains will work.
Remove sugar or acid based spills, they tend to attack the
enamel. Remember the grates are heavy, use care when lifting
and replacing.
