IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Notice
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door , warmer
drawer or lower oven door—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 Unobstructed. The oven vent
is located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in
this area when the oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition.Donotletpotholderscontactthehotheating
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
beforemoving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and
be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
•Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the
ovenbottom. Only usealuminum foil asrecommended in
thismanual. Improper installationofthese linersmay
result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP

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. Visuallycheckthatburnerhaslit.
Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the
edgeof the utensil.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners—To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillageduetounintentionalcontactwiththeutensil,the
handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is
turnedinward,anddoes not extend over adjacent
surfaceburners.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at high
heat settings—Boiloverscause smokingand greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
•Glazed cooking utensils—Onlycertaintypesofglass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking
duetothe sudden change in temperature.Checkthe
manufacturer’srecommendationsforcooktopuse.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn
the fan on.
• Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which
operate by blowing a downward air flow on to a range,
shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other

testedandlistedby an independent test laboratoryfor
useincombination with each other.
WARNING
Use Proper Flame Size—Adjustflame sizeso itdoes
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
improveefficiency.

special dark coating on the left and right rack
sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.
2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely
coolbeforeproceeding.
3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only (see
previouspage to verifypositions).Be sure therack
connector brackets are at the rear of the range and
pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).
4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the oven
door open and the oven rack in place, install one end of
the connector arm to the hole in the door connector
bracket (Fig. 1) and the other end in the hole in the
rack connector bracket (Fig. 2 and as in Fig. 3). The
oven rack may need to be adjusted in or out in the rack
positiontomatch the length oftheconnector arm.
5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the
connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point
upwards (See Figs. 4 & 5). The connector arm should

WARNING
CAUTION
ToavoidpossibleburnsDO NOT touchburnercapsor
surface burner grates after using any of the surface
burners. The surface burner grates, caps, and areas
around them may still be very hot. Providesufficient
time for these areas and the parts to completely cool
beforehandling.
Fig. 1 - correct burner cap
placement
Be sure to review the Care & Cleaning section for
complete detailed information about cleaning the burner
caps and proper burner cap placement.
Using the griddle (some models)
Before first use:
•Wash griddle in hot soapy water.
•Rinse and dry completely.
After each use:
•To prevent possible rusting, store in a dry place and keep
uncovered.
•After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water
only, then rinse.
•Dry immediately.
•Do not clean griddle in the dishwasher.
Using the griddle:
Remove the center burner grate (some models) and
carefully replace with the griddle.
For best results, preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on
medium or a medium low setting. Slow preheating
provides more even heat distribution during the cooking
process. Do not preheat the griddle on Hi setting.
Preheating using a Hi burner setting may warp the griddle
and prevent even heat distribution.
Fig. 2 - incorrect burner cap
placement
Visually check for proper burner cap placement before
operating any of the surface burners (See Fig.1).
Check for proper burner cap placement
If any of the surface burner caps appears to be resting

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
•Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
•When using two canners at the same time, stagger the
canners on the left and right sides of the cooktop. This
will help distribute the heat generated more evenly.
Be sure to review the latest online information for home
canning. Some suggestions might be the U.S. Department
of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service or the
National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP).

IMPORTANT
Setting surface controls
The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes
increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance
may be equipped with many different sized surface burners.
It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the
amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner
and flame size appropriate for the cookware size.
The standard size burner or burners may be used for most
surfacecookingneeds.Usethesmallersimmer burner
(some models) when simmering delicate sauces, etc.
The larger quick boil (some models) burner or burners are
best when used to bring large quantities of liquid to
temperatureorwhen heating larger quantities offood.
Setting a surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate.
Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the burner
grate.
2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn
counterclockwise outofthe OFFposition(Fig. 1).
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the lite
position.Visuallycheckthat the burner has a steady
gas flame.
4. Once the surface burner has a flame, push the surface
controlknobinandturncounterclockwise tothe
desired flame size setting. Use the knob markings and
adjust the flame as needed.
Do not placeflammable items suchasplasticwrappings,
spoon holders or plastic salt and pepper shakers on the

Potholders,towelsor wooden spoonscouldcatch fire if
placedtoo closetotherangecooktop.
CAUTION
• DO NOT cook withasurfacecontrol knob leftinthelite
position.Theelectronicignitor will continue to spark.
Turncontrolknob out oflite position andadjustthe
flame size.
• Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt on the range cooktop. If items melt the
they may permanently damage the appearance of the
cooktop.
NOTES
•Whensettingasurfacecontrolknobtothelite position,all

Quick bake uses a fan to circulate theoven'sheat
uniformlyandcontinuouslyaroundtheoven.Heatedair
flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and
flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.
Thisimprovedheat distribution allowsforfast,even cooking
and browning results. It also gives better baking results
when using two oven racks at the same time.
Most foods baked in a standard oven may be cooked faster
andmoreevenly when usingthequick bake feature.
Suggestions for quick bake:
1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheattheovenwhenbaking foods such as cookies,
biscuitsandbreads.
2. Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s
recommendedoventemperature.Followtheremainder
oftherecipe’s instructionsusingthe minimum
recommendedcooktime.
3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in
positions 2 & 5 for best results (Fig. 1).
Quick bake
Benefits of the quick bake feature
— Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy.
—Multiplerackbaking.
— No special pans or bakeware needed.
When roasting
1. Preheatingisnot necessary whenroastingfoods using
quickbake.
2. Since quick bake cooks food faster,reduce the cook
time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your
recipe. Check the food at this time. If necessary,
increase cook time until the desired doneness is
obtained.
3. Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will keep
the air from circulating around the food.
