IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFORUSINGYOURCOOKTOP
Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.
• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan
of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off
before removing the pan.
•Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top
burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
• UtensilHandlesShouldBeTurnedInwardandNotExtendOver
AdjacentSurface Burners—Toreduce theriskof burns,ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat
Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burnerpans,or oven bottom,exceptas suggested inthismanual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cook top use.

Setting Clock & Minute Timer (some models)
Operating the Surface Burners
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. If your range is equipped with electronic
ignitors, all four ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning
on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control
knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the guides and adjust the flame as
needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic
ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position.)
Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to
complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper
flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount
of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying,use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly.
If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food
will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too
much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
IMPROPER
PROPER
Always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared.
Select a burner & flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend
beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Setting Surface & Oven Controls
* These settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum
pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. The color
of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and
hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and
sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
For Electric Ignition models ONLY: In
the event of an electrical power outage,
the surface burners can be lit manually.
To light a surface burner, hold a lit match
to the burner head, then slowly turn the
Surface Control knob to LITE. After
burner lights push in and turn knob to
desired setting. Use CAUTION when
lighting surface burners manually.
*Flame Size Type of Cooking
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
Note: The graphics shown for the oven control knob may not look identical to the knob
on your range. The illustration is representational (See Fig. 1).

1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool. See "Arranging Oven Racks" under
Before Setting Oven Controls.
2. Push in and turn the Temperature Control knob to the desired temperature.
3. Preheat the oven for 10 to 12 minutes before baking. Preheating is not necessary
when roasting, cooking casseroles or broiling most foods.
4. When cooking is finished, turn the Temperature Control knob to OFF.
Fig. 1
Broil
1. Slide broiler drawer out to the stop position.
2. Remove broiler pan & insert (Fig. 2).
3. Always position rack before setting control, while range is cool.
4. Position rack by tilting front of rack up and pulling rack out from locating holes in
rear of broiler drawer. Reposition back of rack in the desired locating holes and
allow front of rack to slide down into the corresponding slots in front of broiler

General Care & Cleaning
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up
grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse
with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can
scratch.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To
remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean as instructed above. Squeeze excess water
from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water
in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. To replace knobs after cleaning,
line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft, then push the knob(s) into place.
Clean burner grates, broiler pan & insert in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soils are not
removed, follow the cooktop cleaning instructions below.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of
clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper
towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-
filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain
may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the range top.
Remove racks. See "Removing & Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven Controls.
Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following the cleaner’s recommendations. Rinse with clean water &
let dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a
small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the oven rack
positions).
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides & front of the oven door. Rinse well. You
may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in
water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT
use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of
the oven door. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven
material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

General Care & Cleaning
Raising & Lowering the Top for Cleaning
1. Remove burner grates and spillover bowls. Set aside.
2. Grasp the sides of the cooktop and then lift from the front.
3. Lift the top high enough to allow the support rods to snap into place. The Lift-up rods
will support the top in its raised position.
4. Clean underneath using hot, soapy water and a clean cloth; then, dry.
5. To lower the range top, grasp the front corner of each side of the top while pushing back
on each rod with the heel of your hand. This will release the notched support. Hold the
range top and gently slide the range top down to the range.
When lowering the top, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. Also, DO NOT drop
or bend the rangetop when raising or lowering. This could damage the surface.
Removing & Replacing Gas Burners for Cleaning
To Remove Burners
1. Remove shipping screws with a Phillips Head screwdriver. See illustration for screw
locations.
2. Tilt the burner at the end closest to the support bar until the locator tab is released (front
burners tilt right, rear burners tilt left). Move the burner toward the back of the range. This
will separate it from the gas valve at the front of the range.
To Replace Burners
1. Slide the burner tube over the gas valve at the front of the range (front burners fit over the
right valve, rear burners fit over the left valve on each side of the range).
2. Tilt burner so that the locating tab will slide into the slot on the support bar. Make sure
burners are properly seated on support bar and are level.
3. Replace shipping screws if desired.
DO NOT turn the burners on when the cooktop is raised for cleaning. Be sure
that the top is completely lowered and securely in place before turning on the burners.
Porcelain Enamel Oven & Broiler Drawer
The oven interior is porcelain on steel and it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.
General Cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
To Remove Heavy Soil:
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened dirt spots
using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner following
manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT mix ammonia with other cleaners.
3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the
oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray cleaner on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking
or fire.
2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly.
(The bulb is located on the left interior wall of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful
not to move the bulb. A change in its position could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, broiler drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the
range, plastic or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
Cleaning the Oven Bottom
The oven bottom is porcelain enamel and can be removed for easier cleaning. Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild
abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad or oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions.

problemsareprovidedwiththeproblemlisted:
Entire appliance does not operate (some models) - (1) The
time of day is not set. The time of day must first be set in order
to operate the oven. See “To Set the Clock” in the Setting Oven
Controls section.(2) Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly
into outlet. (3) Service wiring is not complete. Contact your
dealer, installing agent or authorized service agent. (4)
Electrical power outage (electric ignition models only). Check
house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for
service. Surface gas burners can be lit manually. See Setting
Surface Controls in this Use & Care Manual.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible
for service - (1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly.
Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2)
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range
can be lifted over carpet.
Range is not level - (1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in
center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling
legs at base of range until the oven rack is level. (2) Be sure
floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support
range. (3) If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to
correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make
range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have
sufficient room for range clearance.

See Changing Oven Light section in this Use & Care Manual.
Oven smokes excessively during broiling - (1) Control(s) not
set properly. Follow Broil instructions under Setting Oven
Controls. (2) Broiler Drawer is open. The Broiler Drawer should
be closed while broiling. (3) Meat too close to the broil element.
Reposition the broil rack to provide proper clearance between
the meat & the element. Preheat the broil element for searing.
(4) Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat.
Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into
lean. (5) Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not
draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up &
slots down to allow grease to drip into pan (some models). (6)
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is
necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters
cause excessive smoking.
Poor baking results - Many factors affect baking results. Make
sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the
oven & space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to
preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven.
Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking
time.
Surface Burners do not light - (1) Surface Control knob was
not completely turned to LITE. Push in & turn the Surface
Control knob to LITE until burner ignites and then turn control
knob to desired flame size. (2) Burner ports are clogged. With
the burner OFF, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean
ports. See “Removing & Replacing Gas Burners for Cleaning”
in the General Care & Cleaning section for additional cleaning
instructions. (3) Range power cord is disconnected from outlet
(electric ignition models only). Be sure power cord is securely
plugged into the outlet. (4) Electrical power outage (electric
ignition models only). Burners can be lit manually. See section
on Setting Surface Controls.
Oven does not operate - (1) Be sure the oven controls are set
properly for the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls in
this Use & Care Manual or read the instructions for “Entire
appliance does not operate” listed below. (2) Be sure the Gas
Regulator Valve is in the “ON” position (electric ignition models
only). Refer to the Installation Instructions to for more
information.
Surface burner flame burns only part way around - (1)
Burner ports are clogged. With the gas burner OFF, clean ports
with a small-gauge wire or needle. (2) Moisture is present after
cleaning. Lightly fan the flame & allow burner to operate until
flame is full. See “Removing & Replacing Gas Burners for
Cleaning” in the General Care & Cleaning section for
additional cleaning instructions.
Surface burner flame is orange - (1) Dust particles in gas
main line. Allow the gas burner to operate a few minutes until
flame turns blue in color. (2) In coastal areas a slightly orange
flame may be unavoidable due to salt in air.
Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent - Excessive
spillovers in oven. This will especially be the case for pie
spillovers or large amounts of grease on the oven bottom. Wipe
up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or
excessive smoke are present see “To Broil” in the Setting Oven
Controls section.
