Owner’s Manual

- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
- WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
ŶDo not try to light any appliance.
ŶDo not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
ŶImmediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
ŶIf you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
- Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
WARNING If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or
explosion may result, causing property damage, personal injury or death.
To reduce the risk of tipping the
range, the range must be secured by
a properly installed anti-tip bracket.
See installation instructions shipped
with the bracket for complete details
before attempting to install.
For Freestanding and Slide-In
Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed
and engaged properly, look
underneath the range to see that
the rear leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the
storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easy inspection. If
visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the
anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide the
range back so the rear leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat
this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip
bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be
secured to the anti-tip device properly.
Freestanding and Slide-In Ranges
Anti-Tip
Bracket
Leveling Leg
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed
and engaged.
Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range
is moved.
Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in
place and engaged.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
serious burns to children or adults.

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.

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

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
turn it to the LITE position.

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.

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.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
RYHQWHPSHUDWXUHE\)QH[WWLPH
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.

Wipe the control panel after each use of the oven with
a damp cloth. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or

water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.

plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
SDQHO²WKH\ZLOOGDPDJHWKHILQLVK
Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up or down
or by hanging a towel or other such loads. This can
damage the gas valve shaft.
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
With knobs in the OFF position pull them straight off the
stems.
The knobs can be washed by hand with soap and water
or in a dishwasher.
Not all knobs are interchangeable. To determine the
correct location of a particular knob, examine the back of
the knob. A knob with a label or two stem holes should
be replaced on the front panel first by matching the
shape of the knob holes to the shape of the control panel
stems. The remainder of the knobs having no labels and
only one stem hole can then be replaced on the front
panel anywhere there is a single stem.
Oven Exterior and Cooktop Surface
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or
cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven.

soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they
are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If a stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild
abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces
cool, then clean and rinse.
Oven Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually
or by using the Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool,
then clean and rinse.

Clean cycle the door will unlock. With a sponge, soak up
remaining water and wipe the moisture-softened soil from
the oven walls and door.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle, they

necessary to grease all oven rack side edges with a light
coating of vegetable oil after cleaning them by hand or in
