• The fiberglass insulation in self-clem_ ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the clemfing cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with
an open window or using a ventilation tim
or hood,
•Gas applim_ces can cause minor exposure
to four of these substances, nalnelv benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or I,P filels.
Properly a(!justed burners, indicated by
a bhfish rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances can be minimized bv
venting with an open window or using a
ventilation tim or hood.
SAbF,TY PRE CA UTIONS
When using your appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
• Have the installer show you the location of
the rmage gas shut-off valve and how to turn
it off if necessary.
•Be sure all pacMng materials axe removed
from the range befiwe operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packing
material ignite.
• After prolonged use of a rmage, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstm_d this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linolemn that cannot withstand such use.
Never install it directly over interior kitchen
caq)eting.
•Locate the rmage out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations and areas with
poor air circulation.
AWARNIN G:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFE T Y PPd,2,CA UTI ONS
•Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pm_. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surtace
unit by covering the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray:
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
ti)am-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda oi;
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or flmm-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or ti_am-Upe fire
extinguisher.
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
• Do not let cooMng grease or other flmmnable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Clema drip trays mid liners after every use.
• If you smell gas, the installer has not done a
proper job of checking tot leaks. You can have
a small leak and therefi_re a taint gas smell if
the connections are not completely fight.
Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself
procedure. Some leaks can only be timnd
with the burner control in the ON position
and fin" wmr protection it must be done bv
a qualified selwice technician. Never use an
open flame to locate a leak.
• If by some chmlce a burner goes out and
gas escapes, open a window or a door to
let the room air out. Do not attempt to use
the appliance tmtil the gas has had time
to dissipate. Follow the instructions in
"What to do if You Smell Gas" on page 2.
• Do not use almninmn foil to line any part of
the oven or cooktop. Using a loft liner could
result in a fire hazard or the obstluction of
the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat
will be trapped tmderneath it. This trapped
heat can upset the cooking performance and
can damage the finish of the oven or the
cooktop.
SURFA (;1,2COOKING
•Do not heat unopened food containers;
a build-up of pressure may cause the
COlltailler to b/llNt.
•Set the burner control so that the flmne
heats only the bottom of the pml and does
not extend bevond the bottom of the pan.
Excessive flame is hazardous. The high BTU
burnei_ can easily melt cookware handles.
• Hold the hmadle of the pan, using a dry pot
holder, to prevent movement of the utensil
when stirring or tm'ning tood.
•Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
•Always use the LITE position when igniting
the surface burners and make sure the
burnei_ have ignited.
• Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire. If the burner flames are smothered
by a severe boilover which afl'ects the ignitor,
unburned gas will escape into the room.
• Do not let pot holders come near open
flames when rifting cookware. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a
pot holder.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back of
the range without extending over ac!jacent
b/IYIleI3.
•Never block the vents (air opmtings) of the
rmage. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessai T fl)r the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air
openings are located at the top and bottom
of the oven door, in the fl'ont portion of the
drip tray and at the bottom of the backguard.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SUt A CE COOKING
•Always turn the surface burners to OFF
before removing cookwaJ'e.
•Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
•Foods for frying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on fl'ozen foods or n_oisture
on fl'esh fl_ods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pail
•Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep fat frying, Filling
the pan too full of fat can cause sl)illovers
when tood is added.
•Use adeep fat thermometer whenever
possible to i)revent overheating tat bevond
the sn/oking point,
• Never try to move apml of hot fat, especially
a deep tat fl'yer. Wait until the tat is cool.
•When using glass cookwaace, inake sure it
is designed tor toi>ot=range cooking.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together befln'e heating or
as tats melt slowly.
• Do not leave may items on the cooktop.
The hot air fl'om the vent may ignite
flanlnlable itelns and will increase l)ressure
in closed containers, which inav cause theln
to burst.
•Use proper pma size--avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware
having fiat bottoms large enough to l)rol)erly
contain tood and awfid boilovers and
sl)illovers and large enough to cover burner
grate. This will both save cleaning time and
l)revent hazardous aCCtli/ltllations of too(l,
since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the
range can ignite. Use pans with handles that
can be easily grasped and renmin cool.
•Keep all plastics away from the top burners.
• Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--
thev may inelt if left too close to the vent.
• To avoid the possibility of a burn, alwax:s be
certain that the controls fl)r all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool
befl_re atteml)ting to remove them.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn
the fan on.
•Grease is flammable. I,et hot grease cool
befl)re attenq)ting to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the grill or the
griddle drip trays. (_lean these areas after
each rise.
• For proper lighting mad performance of the
cooktop burners, keep the burner ports
clean. It may be necessary to clean these
when there is a boilover or when the burner
does not light, even though the electronic
ignitors click.
•After clemfing, it is important to make sure
the cap and burner port are properly aligned
with the burner base. Incorrect alignlnelat
will produce poor burner l)erlorn/ance.
Never operate the burner without all burner
parts in place.
•Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steatn
burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth
to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Solne
cleaners produce noxious flunes if applied
to a hot surthce. Follow iualmfi_cturer's
directions.
• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively
fatty meats or products which promote
flare-up.
•If rmlge is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surtace burners and create a fire hazard.
•Be sure all the range mad/or cooktop
controls are turned off and the appliance is
cool befl_re using any type of aerosol cleaner
or cooking spray on or around the appliance.
The chemical that produces the sl)raying
action could, in the i)resence of heat, ignite

The two-piece cast stainless steel grill grates are

This is normal and does not affect the cooking

For best results, the grate should be seasoned
betore the first use. Seasoning will insure a

be reseasolled.
To season the grill grate:
1Clean the grate thoroughly with hot, soapy
water to FeIl/OVe }lily IllaIlllf_lCtllI'iIlg oils, etc.
2Rinse with a mixture of 2 cups water and
1/2 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.

tile entire surtace of the rack. Do not use
corn oil, as it can get sticky.
4 Place grate into the grill housing. Turn the
burner on to a medimn setting. Turn the
burner off when the oil begins to smoke.
Allow grates to cool.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4.
The grill is now ready tot use.
One side of the grates (side A) is ridged and
should be used tor foods where wm want the

control knob set on HI.
NOTE: The longer you preheat the grill, the
darker the grill marks will be on vom" ti}od.
During cooking it may be necessary to a{!just
the heat setting. The control knob may be set
to any position between HI and I,O.
For proper searing and browning the grill
requires high heat.
_'_]th large pieces of meat or poultry you will
need to turn the heat to a lower heat setting
atier the ti}od has been seared. This lower heat
setting will allow the food to cook through
without burning the outside.
Marinades and barbecue sauce should be
added toward the end of cooking time. The
heat should be turned to low when sauces are
added.
Do not leave the grill mlattended while it is on.
When you are finished cooking, allow the grill
and the drip tra}_s to cool beti}re cleaning them.
They should be cleaned each time they are used.

45 seconds to ignite. Unlike the surtace
burne_, which use electric igniters, the
grill uses a glow bar ti}r ignition. It takes
approximately 45 seconds tin" the glow bar to
reach temi)erature. Gas is only supplied to the
grill once the glow bar reaches temi)erature.

• When turning tile n/eat ovei; always use
a spatula as it will not i)uncture tile meat
allowing the juices to run ()/it. This will hel I)
to kee I) tile meatjuic> Turn tile meat only
once, as juices are lost when the n/eat is
repeatedly turned. Season or salt the n/eat
after it has been cooked.
• Be sure to trim any excess tilt fl'om meat
or poultr> To prevent steaks or chops fl'om
curling while they are being cooked, slit the
tat around tile edges at about 2" intervals.
To test fl)r aloneness, make a sn/all cut ill tile
center of tile meat.
Tile aloneness of meat is affected bv tile
thickness of tile cut. It is impossible to cook
a thin piece (ff meat to a rare doneness.
A steak should be at least 1" thick to have it
turn out rare and juicy. Tile cooking time
is afl'ected bv tile temi)erature of tile meat
when you start to cook it, tile size and shape
of th e c/It a n d th e kin d of n/ea t VO/l a re
cooking. Tile degree of aloneness desired
also affects tile time.

The griddle is made fl'om Type 304 stainless
steel and highly polished to provide a smooth
cooking surthce. It is normal ti)r it to darken
with use as oils cook onto tile surfltce to
provide a stick-resistant base or "seasoning."
The griddle is thern/()staticallv controlled
and cycles on and off to maintain tile set
temi)erature. A light will glow t() indicate
the griddle is on.
The griddle assembly should not be removed
for clealfing.
Once tile unit is ill position, tile rear center
shiI)ping screw can be removed. It is located
beneath tile griddle title cover. Remove tile
title cover by lilting it straight up. Be careflll
not to scratch tile backguard during remowd
of tile flue cover.
Tile two outer screws are leveling screws.
Do not remove these two screws, They can be
turned to level the griddle or to provide a
ti)rward slope to hel I) grease and oils to drain
away from tile ti)od being cooked. After using
the griddle a few tin/es you will be able to
judge tile slope best ti)r tile ti)ods you are
cooking and your personal preference.
When replacing the griddle title covei, ensure
that tile cover slips to tile outside of tile ti'ont
and back metal flanges of the fixed griddle
assembly: This will ensure a tight fit of the
lille cover.
