Important safety instructions
Important instuctions for using your
cooktop
•Use Proper Flame Size—Adjustflamesizeso
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
contactand may result in ignitionof clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also
improveefficiency.
•Knowwhichknobcontrolseachsurface
burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before
turning it on, and turn the burner off before
removingthepan.
•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
NotExtendOver AdjacentSurfaceBurners—
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.
•Neverleavesurfaceburnersunattendedat
highheatsettings—Boiloverscausesmoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan
that has boiled dry may melt.
•ProtectiveLiners—Donotusealuminumfoilto
line surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except
as suggested in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock, or fire.
•Glazedcookingutensils—Onlycertaintypesof
glass,glass/ceramic,ceramic,earthenware,or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top
service without breaking due to the sudden
changeintemperature.Checkthe
manufacturer’srecommendationsforcooktop
use.
Important instructions for using your
oven
•Use care when opening oven door or lower
oven drawer (if equipped)—Standtothe 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
extremecaution. Use potholders and grasp the
rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholderscontactthehotheatingelementsin
the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
beforemoving.
•Do not use the broiler pan without insert. The
broiler pan and insert allows 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 fatand greasecouldignite.
•Coldtemperatures candamagetheelectronic

time, or when the appliance has not been used
for an extended period of time, be certain the

10 Getting Started
About the griddle (some models)
Your new appliance is supplied with a griddle. Use
the raised grill side of the griddle -Fig. 1- to cook
meats such as sausage, steak, bacon, or other
items that produce grease when cooking. Use the
smooth side of the griddle -Fig. 2- to cook items
such as pancakes, eggs or grilled cheese
sandwiches.
The griddle will perform best on the left side, but
may be used on the right side. Make sure that all
burners are turned off before placing the griddle on
thegrates.
Using the griddle
• Place either side of the griddle centered over the
left or right side of gas burner grates. Be sure
locking tabs fit properly on top of grates -Fig. 1-.
• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to
medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even
heatdistributionduringthecookingprocess.
• DONOT preheat thegriddle on HI burner setting.
Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and
prevent even heat distribution.
After each use
•DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.
• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot
water only.
• Dry immediately and apply a light coating of
vegetable oil to griddle before storing.
• To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep
uncovered.
Before first use
1. Wash griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then
dry completely.
2. Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire
surface (front and back of griddle).
3. Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven
OFFandletcool before removing.
4. The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to
it from the seasoning process. If desired, wash
the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and
dry completely.

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven
racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven
racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 4 -
refer to Fig. 4-. For best results when using a
offset oven rack, place cookware on rack position 2
or3.
Aircirculationin the oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow a
space of 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for
proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookwaredonot touch eachother,theovendoor,
sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must
be able to circulate around the pans and cookware
in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait
until the oven has completely cooled if possible.
Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.
The offset -Fig 1- and handle -Fig 3- oven rack
may be used in all of the rack positions. The offset
designprovidesadditionalheight options. For
maximum available space if preparing a large
turkey, it is suggested to place the rack near the
oven bottom (rack positions 1 or 2) - refer to Fig. 4.
Do not extend the offset rack past the oven door
when in the lowest rack postion.
The fully extendable glide racks -Fig. 2- make food
preparationeasier.Especiallywhen preparing
heavier dishes. The glide oven rack has 2 glide
tracks that allow you to extend your food away
from the oven effortlessly without rubbing the sides
of the oven wall.

Removing and replacing the offset rack
(notillustrated)
•To remove pull the oven rack straight forward
until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of
oven rack slightly and slide out.
•To replace, fit the oven rack onto the rack
guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the
rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack
completely back into place (not shown).
RemovingandreplacingtheLuxury-
Glide™oven rack
•To remove use thumbs to press in on both left
and right spring-loaded release levers -Fig. 1-.
Place the remainder of both hands over the
upper front of the glide rack. While pressing in
on both levers, pull the rack straight out slightly
and release thumb levers. Using both hands
grasp both the upper and lower portions of
the glide rack -Fig. 1; pull rack using both hands
straight out until reaching the stop position -Fig
2-. At the stop, lift up front of rack slightly and
continue to pull rack away from oven -Fig 3-. Be
sure to hold on both upper and lower rack
portions when removing from or handling rack
outside of the the oven - these rack portions
move independently and are difficult to handle
unless held together.
•To replace, grasping both upper and lower
portions of glide rack, lift and place the rack
resting evenly between the oven cavity walls.
Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and
slide the rack completely into position. Some
force may be necessary to make sure the oven
rack has snapped completely back into place.
