IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
Use Proper Flame Size. 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
e_iciency.
Instructions
* Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a
pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and then
turn the burner off: before removing the pan.
"Always turn knob to the fun 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 isturned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface burners
* Never leave surface burners unattended at high
heat sefflngs--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
accumulations that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled
dry may melt.
*Protective llners--Do not use aluminum foil to 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.
* Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

Before Setting Surface Burner Controls
Locations of the Gas Surface Burners
Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with
different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in
larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.
The small SIMMER burner is best used for simmering
delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear
burner position on the cooktop.
The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface
cooking needs. The standard burner is located at the left
front position on the cooktop.
The POWER burner is best used for bringing large quantities
of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger
quantities of food. The POWER burners are located at the
right front and left rear burner positions on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable
for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a
burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow
flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Burner Cap
Fixed Burner Head Gas Opening
Assembly of the surface burner caps and
burner grates
It is very important to make sure that all of the Surface
Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates are installed
correctly and at the correct locations.
1. Remove all packing material from cooktop area.
2. Discard all packing material (if applicable).
3. Position the burner caps in the correct position.
4. Unpack Burner Grates and position on the cooktop.
Note: Burner heads are fixed. Do not try to remove them.
REMEMBER m DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING
AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS
OPENING. Always keep the Burner Caps in place whenever
the surface burners are in use.

Seffing Surface Burner Controls
Do not place plastic items
such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders or plastic wrappings on fop of
the range when if is in use. These items
could melt or ignite. Pofholders, towels or
wood spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to a flame.
Manual Lighting
In the event of an electrical power outage,
the surface burners can be lit manually.
To light a surface burner, hold a lit match
to the burner head, then slowly turn the
surface control knob to UTE. After burner
lights push in and turn knob to desired
setting. Use caution when lighting surface
burners manually.
Operating the Gas Surface Controls:
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of the
OFF position (See Figure 1).
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position.
Note: All four electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time.
However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.
4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.
5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The
control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob
indicator settings to adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cool< with
the surface control knob in the LITE position (The electronic ignitor will
continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position).
Seffing Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower
one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for
determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type
of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for cooking.

Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces_ gravies; steaming.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
_These setflngs are based on using medlum=welghf metal or aluminum
pans wlfh llds. Sefflngs may vary when using other types of pans. The color
of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear,
blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be
steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to
the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Figure 2
flame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned by
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy.
If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be
undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the
food will neither brown nor cool< properly.

Surface Cooking
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should
have flat bottoms that
make good contact
with the entire surface
heating burner.
Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the Figure 1
cookware (See Figure 1). Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using cookware as
shown in Figure 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used
will influence the setting needed for best
cooking results.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Some utensils were not made to be used in the
oven or on the cooktop.
CORRECT
* Flat bottom and straight sides.
°Tight fitting lids.
°Weight of handle does not flit
pan. Pan is well balanced.
°Pan sizes match the amount of
food to be prepared.
°Made of material that con-
ducts heat well.
Easy to clean.
INCORRECT
°Curved and warped pan bottoms.
IL......
°Pan overhangs burner grate by
more than 2.5 cm (1").
°Heavy handle tilts pan.
°Flame extends beyond pan.
Figure 2
Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers
may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware
requirements.
Using awok
Woks with flat bottoms suit-
able for use on your cooktop are
available in most cookshop or
hardware stores. Round-bottomed
woks (with a support ring that
does not extend beyond the burn-
er circumference) may also be
used. The metal ring was designed
to support the wok safely when it
is filled with large amounts of liq-
uids (soup making) or fat (frying).
Wire trivets: Do not use wire
trivets. Cookware bottoms must be
in direct contact with the grates.
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a
metal ring that extends beyond the burner
circumference. Because this ring traps heat,
the surface unit and cooktop surface could
be damaged.

Before Setting
Upper &Lower Oven Vents
Upper Oven
the Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
See illustration on left side for venting location of each oven. When the oven is

display.
5. Preheat the broil burner for 5 minutes.
6. Place your broiler pan insert on your broiler pan. Then place the food on the
broiler pan insert. DO NOT use your broiler pan without the insert. DO NOT
cover your broiler insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
7. Place your broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center your broiler pan directly
under the broiler burner. Make sure the oven door is closed when broiling.
8. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side.
Season and serve. Note: Always puli the rack out to the stop position before
turning or removing food.
9. To cancel broiling press Stop pad.
Note: The broil temperature setting may be changed at any time.
Not supplied

kept away from the high heat of the
broiler. DO NOT use the pan without
its insert. DO NOT cover the insert
with foil The exposed grease could
ignite.
Preheating
For best searing preheating the broiler 5 minutes before placing the food under the broiler, especially for meats (Remove
your broiler pan before preheating. Foods wiii stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheah set the control(s) to BROIL as
instructed in this Use and Care Guide.
Determine Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from burner, but on the thickness and
aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than second. Frozen
meats also require additional time.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips (broiler pan not supplied with appliance)
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads
because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off: grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may
scratch the grid.

v_ The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-clean cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part of

Self-Cleaning Oven
ASelf-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above
cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to
a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following cleanlng precoutlons:
*Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
*Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven
manually.
*DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the oven interior.
*DO NOT dean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven
door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.
*DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.
*Remove all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures.
*Porcelain Coated Racks: Some ovens come with lubricated porcelain
oven racks, which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Do
not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important that
the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable
oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of
vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or
when the rack becomes difncult to slide.
* Chrome Oven Racks: Some models come with chrome oven racks, which
have to be removed from the oven during the self-clean cycle or else
their finish will turn dull and their color slightly blue. If left in, after the
cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven
racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad
oil [this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position). Clean
chrome oven racks by using a mild cleaner following manufacturer's
instructions. Rinse with dean water and dry.
*Before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle, hand clean any sol from the
oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the small
area at the front center of the oven. These surfaces are not in the
self-cleaning area. Clean with soap and water. Burned-on residue can
be cleaned off with a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber.
DO NOT hand dean the oven door gasket or it will be permanently
damaged.

Self-Cleaning
What to Expect during Cleaning
While the oven is in operation_ the oven heats to temperatures much higher than
those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are
normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear
through the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause
more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause
alarm. If available° use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
Self-Clean Cycle time length
For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light sails and a 3 hour
cycle for average or a 4 hour cycle for heavy sails. NOTE: The kitchen area should
be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the
Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the Self-
Clean cycle.
To avoid possible
burns use care when opening the
oven door after the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Stand to the side of the oven
when opening the door to allow hot
air or steam to escape.
force the oven
door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use
caution and avoid possible burns
when opening the door after the
Self-Cleaning cycle has completed.
