important Safety instructions
. Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, near surface burners
or in the broiler drawer. This includes paper, plastic and
cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels,
as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives,
such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.
. Do Not Leave Children Alone--Children should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
, DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE BURNERS,AREAS NEAR
THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface and oven
burners may be hot even though flames are not visible.
Areas near surface burners 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 have had sufficient time to cool. Among these
areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the
oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and window.
, Wear Proper Apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
. Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
. When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
. Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
, Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is
to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
. Use Care When Opening 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. Do not let
potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven.
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
. 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.
IMPORTANT-- Do not attempt to operate the oven during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn offthe oven. If
the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven
will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset
the clock (if equipped) and oven function.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
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 iton, 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.
* Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners--To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of
the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
* 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.

important Safety instructions
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP (Cont'd)
. Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may

Setting Surface Controls
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. Potholders, towels or wood
spoons could catch fire if placed too
close to a flame.
Electric ignition models:
In the event of an electrical power
outage, the surface burners can be lit
manually. To light a surface burner,
ihold 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.
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.
Each burner lights automatically from either an electric ignitor or standing pilot,
depending on your model. Standing pilots must be lit initially. Refer to your
installation instruction book for directions on lighting the standing pilot.
Standing pilots will remain litwhen the burners are turned off. Models with
electric ignitors light automatically each time a control knob is turned to the
LITE position.
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.
4. Visually check that the burner has lit.
5. 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.)
iii....................
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.
Fordeep fatfrying, 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.
Never extend the flame beyond the
outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases your risk of being burned
by the f ame.
*Flame Size
High Flame
Medium Flame
LowFlame
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
*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 ifflame is
yellow-orange.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent
\
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located at the rear center of the cook top. When
the oven is on, warm air is released through this vent. This venting is
necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking
results. DO NOT BLOCK THE OVEN VENT.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL
(PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when

General Care & Cleaning
Follow these cleaning precautions:
•Allow the oven to cool before
cleaning.
•Wear rubber gloves when cleaning
the appliance manually.
Ammonia must be
rinsed before operating the oven.
Provide adequate ventilation.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, bottom, racks or any other
part of the appliance with
aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy
heat distribution, produce poor
baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven).
REMOVE SPILLOVERSAND HEAVY
SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
REGULARCLEANINGWILL REDUCE
THE EFFORT REQUIRED FOR
MAJOR CLEANINGS LATER.
Porcelain Enamel Oven and Broiler Drawer
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, itissafe 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, sauerkraut, 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 cleaners 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 in the rear 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.
To Clean 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.

General Care & Cleaning
When lowering the cooktop, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. Also, DO NOT
drop or bend the cooktop when raising or lowering. This could damage the surface.
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.
To Raise and Lower the cooktop for Cleaning
1. Remove burner grates and drip pans (some models). Set aside.
2. Grasp the sides of the cooktop and then lift from the front (See Fig. 1)
3. Lift the cooktop high enough to allowthe cooktop support rods to snap into place. The rods will support the cooktop in the
raised position.
4. Clean underneath using hot, soapy water and a clean cloth; then, dry.
5. To lower the cooktop, 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 cooktop down to the range.

Removing and Replacing the Oven Door
The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the doorflat with
the inside of the door facing down.
To Remove Oven Door:
1. Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor- See Fig. 1).
2. Remove 2 screws located on the inside of the oven door liner (See A Fig. 2)
3. Insert the 2 screws into the door hinge holes located on the side of the
hinge arm, one intoeach hinge (See B Fig. 2).
4. Close oven door until the door stops (Do not force the door to close any
further). The placement of these screws should keep door open in about a
45 degree position.
5. Grasp oven door firmly on both sides and slide door up and off hinges at the
same angle. (See Fig. 3)
6. To clean oven door, follow the instructionsin the Care & Cleaning table
(page 11).
To Replace Oven Door:
1. Be sure the hinge arms remain at the 45 degree angle position. Be sure the
screws are still locking the hinge arms from moving. If the screws fall out of
the hinge holes, the hinge(s) may snap back against the oven frame and
could pinch fingers or chip the porcelain finish on the oven front frame.
2. Hold door at the sides near the top while resting the lower front of door on
your knee. Insert the door channels at the bottom of door over the door
hinges, (See Fig. 3).
3. Allow the door to slide down intothe door hinges evenly at the same 45
degree angle. The hinge arms should be inserted intothe bottom corners
as far as they can go.
4. Open door completely (horizontal with floor) and remove both screws from
holes in door hinges.
5. Reinstall the 2 screws intothe door liner (See C Fig. 2).
6. If the door is not inalignment with the oven frame, remove door and repeat
the above steps.
