circumstances cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Failure to follow this advice may result in death or electrical shock.
!
WARNING!
FIre Hazard
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Persons could
be injured or a fire could start.
Keep the area around the appliance free from combustible materials
(eg wall coverings, curtains, drapes), gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in, or,
or near the appliance.
Do not hang any articles (eg dish towels) off the oven handle. Some
fabrics may ignite or melt from the heat.
Never leave the cooktop burners unattended when in use –
Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Be sure all the controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before
using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. Chemicals
in such cleaners could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts
to corrode.
Failure to follow this advice may result in death or serious injury.

Failure to follow this advice may result in injury or death.
!
WARNING!
Poisoning Hazard
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover
an entire rack or the oven floor with materials such as aluminum foil.
Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Clean the appliance with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Follow the directions of the cleaner manufacturer.
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.
Failure to follow this advice may result in poisoning or death.
!
WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot during use.
Do not touch burners, areas near burners, the grill, griddle, grease drip-
pans, heating elements or interior surfaces of oven – These may be hot
enough to cause burns even though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact these parts and surfaces until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Other parts and surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough
to cause burns – among these areas are the grates, back trim and oven
vents at the back of the cooktop, front edge, surfaces adjacent to the
cooktop, and the oven door.
Use only dry potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.
Ovens with a CLEAN cycle: During self-cleaning, the oven reaches higher
temperatures than it does for cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces
may get hotter than usual. Children should be kept away.
Failure to follow this advice may result in serious injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
● Read all the instructions before using the appliance. Use the appliance only for
its intended purpose as described in these instructions.
● Proper installation – Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician. A risk of tip-over exists when the appliance is not installed
in accordance with the installation instructions.
● Do not operate the appliance if it is damaged or not working properly. If you received
a damaged product, contact your dealer or installer immediately.
● Be sure to have the installer show you where and how to turn off the power supply
to the range (ie location of the main fuse or circuit breaker panel) and where and
how to turn off the gas supply to the range in an emergency.
● Do not leave children alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play with the
appliance or to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
● Caution – for safety reasons, do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above a range or at the back of the range – children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
● Wear proper apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance.
● User servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician. Technicians must disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
any servicing.
● Storage in or on appliance – Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or
near the cooktop.
● Use care when opening the oven door – Let hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
● Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
● Keep rugs and mats well clear of the base of the range.
● Placement of oven shelves – Always position shelves in the desired location while

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
● Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before
and after cooking. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause
food poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.
● Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
● Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the appliance.
● Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the appliance.
● Before self-cleaning the oven – Remove oven shelves, side racks, broiler pan and
all other cookware/utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.
● Before self-cleaning the oven –make sure you move any pet birds to another, closed
and well-ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during a self-cleaning cycle, and may die if left in the same room as the range
during such a cycle.
● Do not use any cookware on the grill or griddle.
● Top cover (lid) must be removed when the grill or griddle is in operation.
● When using the grill or griddle, make sure the grease drip-pan is in place – absence
of this during use may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
● The oven(s), grill, and griddle of your range cannot be used in the event of a power
failure. Do not attempt to operate these during power failure.
● Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop. This will cause heat
to be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking performance
and damage the finish of the oven or cooktop parts.
● Do not place any dishes, trays, water or ice directly on the oven floor during cooking,
as doing so will irreversibly damage the porcelain enamel finish.
● For safety reasons, the cooktop burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
● Use cookware of the appropriate size and construction for the type of cooking.
This appliance is equipped with burners of different sizes. Cookware must be matched
to the size of the burner. Select utensils with flat bottoms large enough to cover
the burner flames. The use of undersize utensils will expose a portion of the burner
flames to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationships
of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
● Protective liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line grease drip-pans or oven bottoms.
● Glazed cooking utensils – only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
● Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent cooktop burners
– To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent cooktop burners.
● The Governor of California is required 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.
● WARNING!: This product emits exhaust that contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. To reduce
the risk from such chemicals, make sure this appliance is installed, operated, and
maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

COOKING GUIDE
Oven cooking guidelines
IMPORTANT!
● Use all the oven modes with the oven door closed.
● Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven shelves or to line the floor of the oven.
The trapped heat can irreversibly damage the enamel and may even cause fire.
● Do not place water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor, as this will
irreversibly damage the enamel.
● Do not cover the broil pan with aluminum foil. This will catch the grease and could
cause fire.
● Do not use plastic wrap or wax paper in the oven.
● For food safety reasons, do not leave food in the oven for longer than two hours
before and after cooking or defrosting. This is to avoid contamination by organisms
which may cause food poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.
BAKING
● For best results when baking, always preheat your oven. The broil element may
turn on for a short time while the oven is heating up. Depending on the temperature
and the size of the oven, preheating will take around 10-20 minutes. The temperature
dial will turn from white to orange when the preset temperature is reached.
● Your cookware will influence baking times. Dark pans absorb the heat more quickly
than reflective pans; glass cookware may require a lower temperature.
● Avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking. Do not open the oven door
until at least ¾ through the suggested baking time.
Shelf Position Guide
Place your baking on a shelf that will have the top of your pan near the center of the
oven cavity.
● If you have a 48” range, the main oven is ideal for multi-shelf baking or baking larger
quantites. For smaller quantities baked on a single shelf, use the secondary oven.
● Arrange pans and food items evenly on the shelves. Make sure pans do not touch
each other or the sides of the oven. When baking a single item, always center the
item on the oven shelf. If baking on multiple shelves, make sure you stagger items
on the shelves so that one is never directly above another.
● When baking a single item, shelf position 2 is the most frequently used.
See ‘Cooking Charts’ for more shelf position suggestions.
