important Safety instructions
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Use Proper Flame Size m Adjust flame
size so 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 contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also
improve emciency.
* Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a
pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn
the burner off: before removing the pan.
Protective Liners m DO NOT use aluminum
toll to llne the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
*Use care when opening oven door, warmer drawer or
lower oven door = Stand to the 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.
• 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 not extend
over adjacent surface burners _ 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.
* Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings _ Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
*Glazed cooking utensils = Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.
* When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood,
turn the fan on.
Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate
by blowing a downward air flow on to a range, shall not
be used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the
hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by
an independent test laboratory for use in combination with
each other.
*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 extreme caution. Use potholders and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven.
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler
pan and its insert allow 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 fat and grease could ignite.
important Safety Notice
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 cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.

important Safety instructions
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
Before manually cleaning any part of the
range, be sure aii controls are turned OFF and the range is

Before Setting Surface Controls
Installing burner grates
Do not use the surface burners without the
burner grates properly installed. Missing pieces or improper
installation may lead to spills, burns, or damage to your
range and cool<ware.
Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the
cooktop before using the surface burners. The grates are
designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.
To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down and
align into the cooktop recess. Use the tabs on the grates to
arrange. Grates should rest flush against each other and
against the sides of the recess.
Using proper cookware
DO NOT place flammable items such as
plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items
could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons
could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.
Important: DO NOT place aluminum foil, or ANY material
that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they
may damage the cooktop.
For best cooking results,
cookware should have flat
bottoms that rest level on the
burner grate. Before using
cool<ware, check for flatness
by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (Fig. 1). Fig. 1
Please note: The size and type of utensil used, and the
amount and type of food being cooked will influence the
burner flame setting needed for best cooking results.
Cookware material types
The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists
staining & pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results.
Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron -A slow heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
Porcelaln-enamel on metal -Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Before Setting Surface Controls
Setting proper burner flame size
I_[]i][]_l Never extend the flame beyond the outer
edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy,
and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment.
Agood flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted
room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust
or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
Flame size_ Type of cooking
High flame Start most foods; bring water to a
boil; pan broiling.
Medium flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces,
gravies; steaming.
Low flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
For most cooking; start on the highest setting and then
turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the
recommendations as a guide for determining proper flame
size for various types of cooking.
_These settings are based for medium-weight metal or
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using
other types of pans.
For deep fat frying; use a thermometer and adjust the
surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food wii!
absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food
will brown so quickly that the center will be under cooked.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as
the food will neither brown or cool<properly.

Setting Surface Controls
Seffing surface burners
Always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Set a flame size appropriate
to the cool<ware. Adjust burner to a setting that does not
allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the
cooking utensil,
When a surface control knob is turned to the LITE position,
the selected surface burner will ignite automatically from a
spark generated by the electric ignitor.
To set surface burners:
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate.
Be sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner
grate.
2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn
cauniercJackwlse out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).
3. Rotate to the BiTE position. Visually check that the
burner has lit.
4. Once the burner has a flame, turn the knob out of the
LITE setting to the desired flame size setting. Use the
control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.
Please note: DO NOT cook with the surface control knob
left in the LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue
to spark if the control knob setting remains in the LITE
position.
When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position,
all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time.
However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
Important notes
*NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This
can cause uneven heating results.
°In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting
surface burners manually. To light a surface burner,
hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the
surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights push in
and turn knob to desired setting.
°When operating the oven, it is possible for residual heat
from the oven to build-up and over time to eventually
transfer to the surface control knobs located directly
above the oven door.
Fig. 1
J_J_J]J_J Do not place flammable items such as
plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings an the cooktop when it is in use. These items
could melt or ignite. PothoJders, towels or wooden spoons
could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.
Do not place aluminum fail, or ANY
material that can melt on the range cookfop. If these items
melt they may permanently damage the cooktop surface.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as
well as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
°Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
°Use only a completely flat bottom canner.
°Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed
1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
•Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
•Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat
to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located at center rear of coaktep below
the control panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm
air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for
proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block the oven vent.

Care & Cleaning
General cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food
spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as mill<,
tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain
on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as
possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the effort required for
major cleaning laten
Follow fhese cleaning precautions:
°Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
°Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance
manually.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passag-
es in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack wlih
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause CARBON MONOXIDE
poisoning. Aluminum loll linings may trap heat, causing a
fire hazard.
Cleaning porcelaln enamel oven and broller drawer:
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean
using oven cleaners.
Adhere to the following precautions when using
spray oven cleaners:
•DO NOT spray cleaner on the electrical controls or
switches because it could cause a short circuit and
result in sparking or fire.
DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on
the temperature sensing bulb; it could cause the oven
to heat improperly. The bulb is located in the rear of
the oven. Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven
cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A change
in its position could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid
bending the bulb and capillary tube.
DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or
gasket, broiler drawer glides, handles or any exterior
surfaces of the range, plastic or painted surfaces. The
cleaner can damage these surfaces.
Cleaning oven bottom
The oven bottom is porcelain enamel and can be removed
for easier cleaning.
Gentle scouring with a soapy nonabrasive plastic scrubbing
pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of
clear water and ammonia.
If necessary, cover difiqcult spots with an ammonia-soaked
paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with dean water
and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled non-
abrasive scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating
the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
To remove heavy soil:
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight
or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean
softened dirt spots using hob soapy water. Rinse well
with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad or a
nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner
following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT mix
ammonia with other cleaners.
3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner
outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the
front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy
water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.
