How to Light a Surface Burner
WARNING Burners should be operated only
when covered by cookware. Burner flames not
covered by cookware present a risk of fire or
clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the
sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result
in serious injury.
Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and
fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.
Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob
in and turn it to the LITE position.
<RXZLOOKHDUDFOLFNLQJQRLVH²
the sound of the electric spark
igniting the burner. When one
burner is turned to LITE, all
burners will spark. Sparking will
continue as long as the knob
remains at LITE. Once gas is
ignited, turn the knob to adjust
the flame size.
Use of the Surface Burners
Your gas rangetop has sealed gas burners. They offer
convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range
of cooking applications.
The smallest burner is the simmer burner. On some
models, the center burner of the triple flame burner
provides an additional simmer burner. A simmer
burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking
performance for foods such as delicate sauces that
require low heat for a long cooking time.
The extra-large burner is designed to quickly bring
large amounts of liquid to a boil. Some models have a
POWER BOIL™ setting especially designed for use with
cookware with a diameter of 11 inches or larger.
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When
rapid heating is desired, the flame size on a burner
should match the size of the cookware you are using.
Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not
heat faster and may be hazardous.
Push the control knob in and

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with
your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface.
Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all
of the film before using the appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from
packaging tape on new appliances is an application of
a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a
soft cloth and allow to soak.

Surface Burners (Cont.)
USING THE COOKTOP: Surface Burners
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended
because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown
evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating
properties and is usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution.
Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer
recommends.

and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stove Top Grills
Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your
gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause
incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide
levels above allowable standards. This could be
hazardous to your health.
Using a Wok
Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches
or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.
Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the
burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly,
resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable
standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

WARNING Fire Hazard
ŶThe PREHEAT setting (on some models) is provided to quickly heat your griddle. Turn heat down
before placing food on the griddle. Cooking at the PREHEAT setting may result in fire.
ŶUse care when cooking greasy foods. Spilled grease may result in fire.
ŶNever place any items on the griddle when it is not in use. Heat from surrounding burners can heat the
griddle and may result in fire.
Ŷ Place and remove the griddle only when griddle is cool and all surface burners are turned OFF.
Your griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for
meats, pancakes and other foods usually prepared in
a skillet. Before first use, rinse with hot water and dry
thoroughly. Prepare the surface with cooking spray or
vegetable oil.
NOTE: Do not place the griddle in a microwave oven.
NOTE: Do not clean the griddle in the self-cleaning
oven. Doing so will remove the seasoned finish. For
instructions on how to clean the griddle, see Care and
Cleaning section.

Oven Racks
USING THE OVEN:2YHQ5DFNV&RRNZDUH
Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack
positions for various types of foods are provided in the
Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to
impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer
darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving
IRRGRQHUDFNSRVLWLRQKLJKHU,I\RXILQGIRRGVDUHWRR
brown on top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow
air to flow.
Flat Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out
WRWKHEXPSVWRSSRVLWLRQRQWKHUDFNVXSSRUW
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up
and pull it out.

onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and
push the rack in.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a
self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
Cookware
Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
,IXVLQJGDUNDQGFRDWHGFRRNZDUHFKHFNIRRGHDUOLHU
WKDQPLQLPXPFRRNWLPH,IXQGHVLUDEOHUHVXOWVDUH
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25° F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below.
Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform
differently than the oven it is replacing.
Bake
The bake mode is for baking and roasting. This mode
uses heat primarily from the lower burner but also from
the upper burner to cook food. When preparing baked
goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always
preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations
IRUIRRGSODFHPHQW,IQRJXLGHOLQHVDUHSURYLGHGFHQWHU
food in the oven. To use this mode press the Bake pad,
enter a temperature, and then press Start.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. Monitor food closely
while broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack
positions as placing food closer to the broil burner
increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of
fats igniting.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the
food. Place foods closer to the broil burner when a
seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods
and foods that need to be cooked through should be
broiled on a rack position farther from the burner or by
using Broil Lo.
Broil Hi
The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper
burner to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of
PHDWDQGRUIRRGV\RXSUHIHUOHVVGRQHRQWKHLQWHULRU
To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then
press Start,WLVQRWQHFHVVDU\WRSUHKHDWZKHQXVLQJ
this mode.
Broil Lo
The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper
burner to cook food thoroughly while also browning the
VXUIDFH8VH%URLO/RIRUWKLFNHUFXWVRIPHDWDQGRUIRRGV
that you would like cooked all the way through. To use
this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start.
,WLVQRWQHFHVVDU\WRSUHKHDWZKHQXVLQJWKLVPRGH
Convection Bake
The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on
a single rack. This mode may use heat from the upper
and lower burners, along with air movement from the
convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Your
oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is
not necessary to convert the temperature when using
this mode. To use this mode press the Bake pad under
Convection, enter a temperature, and then press Start.
Always preheat when using this mode.
Convection Roast
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode may use
heat from the upper and lower bake burner along with
air movement to improve browning and reduce cooking
