IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE
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 birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to worn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP
fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by abluish rather than ayellow flame will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
The fiberglass insulation in self-cleon ovens gives off avery small amount of carbon monoxide during the
cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using aventilation fan or
hood. 3

children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of a
range-children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Foryour safety, neveruseyour appliance
for warming or heating the room.
Largescratches or impacts to glassdoors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.
WARNING: NEVERusethis
appliance as a space heater to heat or worm
the room. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the
cooktop or oven.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a
range storage drawer or near a cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering it with baking soda or, if available,
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the control
to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children con reach them.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range.
They provide the air inlet and outlet that are
necessary for the range to operate properly with
correct combustion. Air openings are located at
the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom
of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range
under the storage drawer or kick panel.

Always use the LITE position when igniting the top
burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessiveflame is hazardous.
, Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let pot holders come near open
flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
When using glass cookware, make sure it
isdesigned for top-of-range cooking.
, 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 adjacent burners.
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame
setting.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air
from the vent may ignite flammable items and will
increase pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slowly.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Do not operate the burner without all burner parts
in place.
Use the least possible amount of fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of
fat can cause spillovers when food isadded.

Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame
foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Do not usea wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed
over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring
acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner
grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the
burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost
on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can
cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of
the pan.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat iscool.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop- they
may melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
Toavoidthe possibilityofa burn,alwaysbecertain
that the controlsfor allburnersare
at theOFFpositionand all gratesare coolbefore
attempting to removethem.
Ifrangeislocatednear awindow, donot hang long
curtainsthat couldblow overthe surfaceburners
and create a fire hazard.
Ifyou smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and
call a qualified service technician. Never use an
open flame to locate a leak.
Always turn the surface burner controls off before
removing cookware.
When disabling range lock-out, make sure the
surface controls are set to the OFF position. This will
preclude gas flow when the range isturned on.

Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly.Mostfoods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet.Usesaucepans with tight-
fitting lidswhen cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skilletswill
givesatisfactory results.
Enamelware: Undersome conditions, the
enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow
cookware manufacturer's recommendations
for cooking methods.
Glass:There are two types of glasscookware-
those for oven useonly and those for top-of-
range cooking (saucepans,coffee and teapots).
Glassconducts heat very slowly.
HeatproofGlass Ceramic: Canbe usedfor
either surface or ovencooking. It conducts
heat very slowlyand cools very slowly.Check
cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure
it can be usedon gas ranges.
Stainless Steel'.This metal alone haspoor
heating properties and isusually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metalsfor
improved heat distribution. Combination metal
skilletsusually work satisfactorily ifthey are
usedwith medium heat asthe manufacturer
recommends.
Stove Top Grills
Donot usestovetop grills on your sealed gas
burners. Ifyou usethe stove top grill
on the sealed gas burner,it will cause
incomplete combustion and can result
in exposure to carbon monoxide levelsabove
allowable current standards.
Thiscan be hazardous toyour health.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Wok This Way
We recommend that you usea 14-inch(35.6
cm) or smaller fiat-bottomed wok. Makesure
the wok bottom sitsflat on the grate. Theyare
available atyour localretail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Donot usea flat-bottomed wok on a support
ring. Placingthe ring over the burner or grate
may cause the burner to work improperly,
resulting in carbon monoxide levelsabove
allowable standards. Thiscould be dangerous
to your health.
In Case of Power Failure
Incase of a power failure, you can light the gas
surface burners on your range with a match.
Holda litmatch to the burner,then pushin and
turn the control knob to the LITEposition.Use

Do not place foods directly on the
oven floor.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheatthe oven ifthe recipecalls for it.
Preheating isnecessaryfor good resultswhen
baking cakes,cookies,pastry and breads.
Topreheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when the
oven is preheated and the display will show
your set temperature. The preheat time will vary
depending on the temperature setting.
Baking results will be better if baking pans ore
centered in the oven as much as possible. If
baking with more than one pan, place the pans
so each has at least 1" (2.5 cm) to 1½" (3.8 cm)
of air space around it.
Aluminum Foil
Do not usealuminum foil to line oven bottoms.
Thefoil will trap heat below and upset the
performance of the oven. Foilcan melt and
permanently damage the oven bottom.
Damage from improper useof aluminum foil is
not covered by the product warranty.
Foilmay be usedto catch spills by placing a
sheet on a lower rack,several inches below
the food .Do not usemore foilthan necessary
and never entirely cover an oven rock with
aluminum foil. Keepfoil at least 1-1/2" from
oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
Oven Moisture
Asyour oven heats up,the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause water
droplets to form on the door glass.These
droplets are harmless and will evaporate asthe
oven continues to heat up.
Oven Vent
Your oven isvented through one vent located
toward the rear of the range. Donot block this
vent when cooking in the oven-it isimportant
that the flow of hot air from the oven and
fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted.
Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby
surfaces during oven or broiler operation-
they may become hot.
Handlesof pots and pans on the cooktop
may becomehot #left too closeto the vent.
Donot leaveplastic items on the cooktop-
they may melt #left too closeto the vent.
Donot leaveany items on the cooktop. The
hot air from thevent may ignite flammable
items and will increasepressure in closed
containers,which may causethem to burst.
Metal items will become very hot #they are
left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.
Power Outage
CAUZlON- Donotmakeany
attempt to operate the electricignition oven
during on electricalpower failure.
Theoven or broiler cannot be litduring a power
failure. Gaswill not flow unlessthe glow bar is
hot.
Ifthe oven isin usewhen a power failure
occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot
be re-lit until power is restored.This isbecause
the flow of gas isautomatically stopped
and will not resume when power isrestored
untilthe glow bar has reached operating
temperature.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible bums,placethe
rocks in the desiredposition beforeyou turn the
oven on.
[] Placethe meat or fish on a broiler grid in a
broiler pan.
[] Follow suggested rack positionsin the
Broiling Guide.
[] Theoven door must be closed during
broiling.
[] Touchthe BROILHI/LO pad oncefor HIBroil.
To change to LO Broil, touch the BROILHI/
LO pad again.
UseLO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or
thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-
browning them.
r_ Touch the STARTpad.
[_] When broiling isfinished,touch the CLEAR/
OFFpad.
Servethe food immediately, and leavethe pan
outside the ovento cool during the meal for
easiestcleaning.
NOTE:Broil will not work #the temperature
probe isplugged in.
The size,weight, thickness,
starting temperature
and your preference
of doneness will affect
broiling times. This guide
is based on meats at
refrigerator temperature.
The U.S.Deportment of
Agriculture says "Rare beef
is popular, but you should
know that cooking it to only
140°F (60°C) means some food
poisoning organisms may
survive." (Source: Safe Food Book.

Usingthe probe. Consomemodes
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. Thetemperature
probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact alonenessyou want.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and
a plug at the other end that goes
into the outlet in the oven.
Useof probes other than the one providedwith
this product may result in damage to the probe
or oven control.
Usethe handlesof the probe and plug when
inserting and removing them from the food
and outlet.
Toavoid damaging your probe,do not use
tongs to pull on the cablewhen removing it.
Toavoid breaking theprobe, make surefood
iscompletely defrostedbeforeinserting.
Toprevent possible burns,do not unplug
theprobe from theoutlet until the ovenhas
cooled.
Handles
Never leave your probe inside the oven
during a self-cleaning cycle.
Do not store the probe in the oven.
After preparing the meat and placing
it on a trivet or on a broiler pan grid,
follow these directions for proper probe
placement.
Insert the probe completely into the
meet. It should not touch bone, fet
or gristle.
Forroastswith no bone,insertthe probe
into the meatiest part ofthe roast.For
bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into
the center of the lowest large muscle.
Insertthe probe into the center of dishes
such as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insertthe probe into the meatiest part of
the inner thigh from below and parallel to
the leg of a whole turkey.

Convection Fan
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air
over, under and around the food.
This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods
are evenly cooked and browned-often in less
time with convection heat.
NOTE:Theconvection fan will cycle on and off
while cooking to best distribute hot air inthe
oven.
