if you don't follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured
if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,
and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
The range will not tip during normal use. However, tipping can occur if you apply too much
force or weight to the open door without the anti-tip bracket properly secured.

rts and Features
Hot air and moisture escape from the oven
through a vent in the center rear of the
cooktop. The vent lets air circulate properly.
Be careful not to block the vent, or you will
get poor baking/roasting results.
NOTE: Never store plastics, paper, or other
items that could melt or burn near the oven
vent, or any of the surface burners.
Oven vent
'' "' :JJ_:i ":_' Oven door vent
Hot air and moisture may escape from the
door vent during certain oven modes. Some
condensation may be observed occasional-
ly. This will not affect cooking performances.
Removing the oven door:
1. Open the door to the Broil Stop position
(open about 4" [10 cm]).
2. Lift door slightly and pull out and back until
hinges come out to the catch position.
3. Push door down and pull straight out to
remove door completely.
Replacing the oven door:
1. Holding the door by the handle, place
1

past it.
Using the side of your leg, apply
pressure to the bottom of the door front.
Lift the door slightly while applying
pressure to push, until the hinges have
gone in fully.

"ngand Caring for Your
Cooktop
LIsill !!i:i:iiii iJ
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with
an auto-reignition system. The sealed burn-
ers spread the heat evenly across the bot-
tom of the cookware and provide infinite
heat control. The auto-reignition system
senses when a burner flame has gone out
and will automatically reignite that burner.
When to use the left rear and
right front burners:
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set
for use with Natural Gas. If you wish to
use L.P. gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit
is included with your new range. See the
appropriate section of the Installation
Instructions for details on making this
conversion.
6,000 BTU burner
6,000 BTU burner
When to use the right rear
and left front burners:
10,000 BTU burner
Use these burners for simmering or for
cooking smaller quantities of food requiring
small cookware.
10,000 BTU burner
Use these burners for cooking large quanti-
ties of food, deep-fat frying, or cooking with
large cookware.

iii and Caring for Your Cooktop
Using the surface burners:
Control knobs
1. Grasp the control knob.
2. Push down and turn to HI. The electric
spark ignitor will ignite the gas flowing into
the burner. When you hear a clicking
sound, you know that the ignitors are
working. Gas is flowing as long as knob is
not set at OFF.
3. When the burner is lit, turn the control
knob to the desired flame setting. (See the
guide under "Burner heat settings" later in
this section.) You can turn the knobs to
any of the marked settings. The ignitor will
turn off and the clicking will stop when the
burner ignites.
NOTES:
• The ignitors may click a number of times
before burner lights. This is normal.
, All four burner ignitors will spark
regardless of which burner you are using.
, Visually check that the burner has lit. If the
burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking
sound. If you do not hear the ignitor click,
TURN THE BURNER OFF. Check that the
service cord is placed firmly in the wall
receptacle. Check for a tripped circuit
breaker or blown fuse.
Check that the control knob is pressed
completely down on valve shaft. If the spark
ignitor still fails to operate, call your
nearest designated service outlet.
Proper grounding and polarity are
necessary for correct operation of the electric
ignition system. If the wall receptacle does
not provide correct polarity, the ignitor will
become grounded and click every once in
awhile, even after the burner has ignited.
A qualified electrician should check the wall
receptacle to see if it is wired with correct
polarity.

Fire Hazard
Do not let the burner flame extend
beyond the edge of the pan.
Turn off all controls when not
cooking.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or fire.
Burner heat settings

high, it can:
