Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above a range on the backguard of the
ranges. Children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Do not touch surface heating units or surface
cooking elements, areas near these units or
elements, or interior surface of the oven. Surface
heating areas and oven heating elements may
be hot even though they appear cool. Areas near
surface cooking units may become hot enough
to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials touch these areas until they are cool.
These areas may include the cook top, surfaces
facing the cook top, oven vent areas, oven door,
and oven window.
Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using this
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials come into contact with hot surfaces.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause container to burst and
result in injury.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat
or grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Cover
the fire with a pan lid, use baking soda, or use a
dry chemical or foam type extinguisher.
• Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do
not use towels or other bulky cloths.

CONVERSIONTO L.P. GAS
This appliance allows for conversion to Liquefied
Petroleum (L.P.) Gas.
If L.P. conversion is needed, contact your local L.P.
Gas provider for assistance. The L.P. conversion kit is
provided with this appliance and is located on the
lower REAR (back side) panel of the range. Before
installing the kit be sure to read the L.P. Installation
Instructions and follow them carefully when making
the installation.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Never use the appliance for warming or heating
the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the range when opening the door of a
hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts clear. Touching surfaces in
this area when the oven is on may cause severe
burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or
ignite.
Always handle oven racks when the oven is cool.
Place oven racks in desired positions while the
oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the
oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition.
Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all cookware and
utensils before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Do not
cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
Do not use aluminum foil or other protective liners
to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installation
of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or
fire.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook
in proper cookware and always use the over racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOK TOP
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.
• 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 and check that burner has lit.
Adjust flame so it does not extend beyond the
edge of cookware.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners.
Never leave surface burners unattended at high
heat settings -- spill overs cause smoking and
greasy spills that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt.
Glazed cooking utensils -- Only certain types of
cookware are suitable for cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in tempera-
ture. Check the manufacturer's recommendations
for cook top use.
• When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be
sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool.
Cleaning a hot range can cause burns.
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular
attention to the area around each burner element.
Do not allow grease to accumulate.
Always follow the manufacturer's recommended
directions for use of kitchen cleaners and aerosols.
Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and
aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning
hoods.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
Use the self-clean cycle to clean only the parts
listed in this manual. Before using self-clean,
remove the broiler pan, any food, utensils, and
cookware from the oven. Remove oven racks
unless otherwise instructed.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven
cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of the
oven.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Do not rub,
damage, or move the gasket.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during the self-clean cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For personal safety, the cook top must be properly
grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must
be plugged into an electrical outlet that is correctly
polarized and properly grounded.
Do not operate the cook top using a 2-prong adapter
or an extension cord. If a 2-prong wall receptacle is
the only available outlet, it is the personal responsi-
bility of the consumer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by
a qualified electrician.
See the installation instructions packaged with this
cook top for complete installation and grounding
instructions.
Grounding type
wail receptacle Do not cut, remove, or
bypass the grounding
plug under any
circumstances.
Power supply cord
with 3-prong
grounding plug
Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an
adapter plug, and extension cord, or remove
grounding prong from the power cord. Failure to
follow this warning may cause serious injury, fire, or
death.
This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding i
plug. For your protection it should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not
cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

Control locations of the gas surface burners
Your built-in range is equipped with gas surface burners
with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker
and in larger volumes increases as the burner size
increases.
The small simmer burner is best used for simmering
delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear
burner position on the cooktop (see Figure 1). The standard
burner can be used for most surface cooking needs. The
standard burners are located at the left front and left rear
positions on the cooktop.
The power burners are best used for bringing large quanti-
ties of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing
larger quantities of food. The POWER burner is located at
the right front position on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable
for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a
burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow
flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Assembly of the surface burner caps and burner
grates
It is very important to make sure that all of the Surface
Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates are installed
correctly and at the correct locations.
1. Remove all packing material from cooktop area.
2. Discard all packing material (if applicable).
3. Unpack Burner Grates and position on the cooktop.
Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas orifice holder opening.
Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in place
whenever the surface burners are in use.
Figure 1: Burner locations

Operating the gas surface controls
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counter-
clockwise out of the OFF position.
,Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (see
figures 1 & 2). Note: All four electronic surface ignitors
will spark at the same time. However, only the burner
you are turning on will ignite.
4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.
,Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired
flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a
particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings to
adjust the flame as needed. Do not cook with the
surface control knob in the LITE position. (The elec-
tronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in
the LITE position.)
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the
range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if
placed too close to a flame.
Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time
without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate
may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
OFF
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.
Flame Size Type of Cooking
High Flame • Star most foods
• Bring water to a boil
• Pan broiling
Medium Flame • Maintain slow boil
• Thicken sauces and
gravies
• Steaming foods
Low Flame • Keep foods cooking,
poaching and stewing
Correct Incorrect
Figure 3: Gas flame adjustment
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the
utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases the risk of being burned by the gas flame.
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 turn the
knob to desired setting.
Figure 2: Gas knob LITE position
Settings based on using medium weight metal or
aluminum pans. Settings may vary using other types of
pans. The color of the flame is key to proper burner i:_
adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue, and hardly visible
in a well-lighted room. Each cone of the flame should be !:
steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

Oven vent location
The oven vent is located near the back of the cooktop.
When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent.
This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the
oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent.
Figure 4: Do not block oven vent location
Removing, arranging and replacing racks
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the ,:
oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven
racks and cook top will become very hot which can cause i}
burns.
this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset
oven racks
To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the oven).
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both
sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward
slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure
oven racks are level before using.

Oven Rack Descriptions
• Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be
used for most cooking needs and may be placed in
most oven rack positions.
The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional
stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design.
The offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/
2 of a rack position lower than the flat rack and may be
used in most oven rack positions.
• To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven
rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for
baking or roasting large cuts of meat.
Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2-4
inches (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circu-
lation. Be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other,
the oven door, sides, or back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware for even
heat to reach the food.
