Child Safety
NEVER leave children alone or unsuper-
vised near tile appliance when it is in use
or is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance as they could be
injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appli-
ance and utensils in it can be hot. Let hot
utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of
small children. Children should be taught
that an appliance is not a toy. Children
should not be allowed to play with con-
trols or other parts of the unit.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of inter-
est to children in cabinets above an appli-
ance or on backguard of a range. Children
climbing on the appliance door to reach
items could be seriously injured.
About Your
Appliance
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm a room to prevent potential
hazard to the user and damage to the
appliance. Also, do not use tile cooktop or
oven as a storage area for food or cooking
utensils.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air by blocking tile oven
vent or air intakes. Restriction of air flow
to the burner prevents proper performance
and increases carbon monoxide emission
to unsafe levels.
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven
is on and for several minutes after oven is
turned off. Some parts of the vent and
surrounding area become hot enough to
cause burns. After oven is turned off, do
not touch the oven vent or surrounding
areas until they have had sufficient time
to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven
door and areas around door and window.
WARNING: NEVER use appliance door,
or drawer, if equipped, as a step stool or
seat as this may result in possible tipping
of the appliance, damage to the appliance,
and serious injuries.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a
damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should
the bulb break, disconnect power to the
appliance before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
Cooking Safety
Always place a pan on a surface burner
before turning it on. Be sure you know
which knob controls which surface burner.
Make sure the correct burner is turned on
and that the burner has ignited. When
cooking is completed, turn burner off be-
fore removing pan to prevent exposure to
burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so
that it does not extend beyond the bottom
edge of the pan. An excessive flame is
hazardous, wastes energy and may dam-
age the appliance, pan or cabinets above
the appliance.
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation
unattended especially when using a high
heat setting or when deep fat frying.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy
spills as soon as possible. Do not use high
heat for extended cooking operations.
NEVER heat an unopened container on
the surface burner or in the oven. Pressure
build-up may cause container to burst
resulting in seriouspersonal injury or dam-
age to the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot
holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should
never be used as pot holders because they
can trail across hot surface burners and
ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for
deep fat frying cool before attempting to
move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other flam-
mable materials accumulate in or near the
appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood
frequently to prevent grease from accu-
mulating on hood or filter. When flaming
foods under the hood turn the fan on.
NEVER wear garments made of flam-
mable material or loose fitting or long-
sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing
may ignite or catch utensil handles.
Always place oven racks in the desired
positions while oven is cool. Slide oven
rack out to add or remove food, using dry,
sturdy pot holders. Always avoid reach-
ing into the oven to add or remove food. If
a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry
pot holder. Always turn the oven offat the
end of cooking.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before moving or
replacing food.

Important Safety Instructions. cont.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow
food manufacturer's instructions. Ifaplas-
tic frozen food container and/or its cover
distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged
during cooking, immediately discard the
food and its container. The food could be
contaminated.
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover an
oven rack or oven bottom. Misuse could
result in risk of electric shock, fire, or
damage to the appliance. Use foil only as
directed in this guide.
Utensil Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles
that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid
using unstable, warped, easily tipped or
loose-handled pans. Also avoid using
pans, especially small pans, with heavy
handles as they could be unstable and
easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move
when filled with food may also be haz-
ardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan
size is particularly important in deep fat
frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the
volume of food that is to be added as well
as the bubble action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to uninten-
tional contact with the utensil, do not
extend handles over adjacent surface burn-
ers. Always turn pan handles toward the
side or back of the appliance, not out into
the room where they are easily hit or
reached by small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could
damage the utensil and the appliance.
Follow the manufacturer's directions
when using oven cooking bags.
Only certain types ofglass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop or oven usage without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
Follow manufacturer's instructions when
using glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional cook-
ware. Do not use any devices or accesso-
ries that are not specifically recommended
in this guide. Do not use eyelid covers for
the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-
on oven convection systems. The use of
devices or accessories that are not ex-
pressly recommended in this manual can
create serious safety hazards, result in
performance problems, and reduce the
life of the components of the appliance.
Cleaning Safety
Turn off all controls and wait for appli-
ance parts to cool before touching or clean-
ing them. Do not touch the burner grates
or surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to
avoid steam burns ifa wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot surface.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes
if applied to a hot surface.
Important Safety
Notice and
Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposi-
tion 65) requires the Governor of Califor-
nia to publish a list of substances known
to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires busi-
nesses to warn customers of potential ex-
posures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that the burning of gas can result in low-
level exposure to some of the listed sub-
stances, including benzene, formaldehyde
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion ofnatural gas or liquid petro-
leum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burn-
ers will minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can also be
minimized by properly venting the burn-
ers to the outdoors.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the
kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from
the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very
sensitive respiratory system. Fumes re-
leased during an oven self-cleaning cycle
may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil,
fat, margarine and overheated non-stick
cookware may be equally harmful.

below the ignitor. Do not enlarge or distort holes.
• Becareful not to get water into burner ports.
•Use care when cleaning the ignitor. If the ignitor is wet or damaged the surface burner will not light.
• Conventional Burners: Dry burners in the oven set at 170°F.
The burner box is located under the lift-up cooktop. Clean frequently to remove spillovers. If soil is allowed
to accumulate, it may damage the finish.
• Remove grates and surface burners. Raise lift-up top.
•Clean with soap and water, rinse and dry.
• For stubborn soils, use mildly abrasive cleaning agents such as baking soda/water paste or Bon Ami*, and
a non-abrasive plastic scrubbing pad.
Wash grates with warm, soapy water and a nonabrasive, plastic scrubbing pad. For stubborn soils, clean with
a soap-filled, nonabrasive pad or a sponge and Cooktop Cleaning Creme (Part #20000001).**
For burned on soils, remove grates, place on newspapers and carefully spray with commercial oven cleaner.
(Do not spray surrounding surfaces.) Place in plastic bags for several hours or over night. Wearing rubber
gloves, remove from bags. Wash, rinse, dry and replace on cooktop.

Maintenance
Removal of Gas
Appliance
Gas appliance connectors used to connect
this appliance to the gas supply are not
designed for continuous movement. Once
installed, DO NOT repeatedly move this
gas appliance for cleaning or to relocate. If
this appliance has to be moved and/or
removed for servicing, follow tile proce-
dure described in the installation instruc-
tions.
To prevent range from accidentally tip-
ping, range must be secured to the floor by
sliding rear leveling leg into the anti-tip
bracket.
Oven Window
(select models)
To protect the oven door
window:
1. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans,
furniture, toys, or other objects.
2. Do not close tile oven door until the
oven racks are in place.
Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the
glass may weaken its structure causing an
increased risk of breakage at a later date.
Oven Light
(select models)
ACAUTIONS:
•Disconnect power to range before
replacing light bulb.
•Usea drypotholder to preventpos-
sibleharm tohands when replacing
bulb.
• Be surebulb is cool before touching
bulb.
• Do not touch hot bulb with a damp
cloth as this may cause the bulb to
break.
To replace light bulb:
1. Remove light bulb.
2 Replace with a 40 watt appliance bulb.
3. Reconnect power to range. Reset clock.
Oven Door
ACAUTIONS:
Do not place excessive weight on or
stand on an open oven door. This
could cause the range to tip over,
break the door, or injure the user.
Do not attempt to open or close
door or operate oven until door is
properly replaced.
Never place fingers between hinge
and front oven frame. Hinge arms
are spring mounted, ff accidentally
hit, the hinge will slam shut against
oven frame and could injure your
fingers.
To remove:
1. When cool, open
the oven door to the
first stop position
(opened about four
inches).
2. Grasp door at each
side. Do not use
the door handle to lift door.
3. Lift up evenly until door clears hinge
arms.
To replace:
1. Grasp door at each side.
2. Align slots in the door with the hinge
arms on the range.
3. Slide the door down onto the hinge
arms until the door is completely seated
on the hinges. Push down on the top
corners of the door to completely seat
door on hinges. Door should not appear
crooked.
NOTE: The oven door on a new range
may feel "spongy" when it is closed.
This is normal and will decrease with
use.
Leveling Legs
CAUTION:
•Besuretheanti-tipbracketsecures
one of the rear leveling legs to the
floor to prevent the range from
accidentallytipping.
The range should be leveled
when installed. If the range is /_
not lm el, turn the plastic le_ el-
ing legs, located at each cor-
ner of therange, until _ _j,J
range is le, el. _._

Conventional
Surface Burners
(select models)
Under no circumstances are the surface
burner assemblies to be taken apart for
cleaning. The surface burner assembly
can be removed to clean the burner box
area. The two surface burner assemblies
are secured in place during transporta-
tion with screws. Once the range is in-
stalled, these screws may be removed to
allow quick and easy removal of the
burner assemblies.
To remove: Allow the burner assembly to
cool. Lift up cooktop. Grasp the burner
assembly and rotate it slightly toward the
left to release the two tabs on the assem-
bly. Then lift the assembly and pull to-
ward the back of the cooktop until the air
shutter ends on the assembly release from
the valves.
To replace: Insert the air shutter ends on
the burner assembly over the valves and
lower the assembly into place. Be sure to
secure tile two tabs on the burner assem-
bly into the two slots on the burner sup-
port bracket which is mounted to the
burner bottom. (NOTE: If the tabs are not
properly inserted into the slots, the as-
sembly may rock and the burners may
not light properly.)

Before You Call for Service
Check these points if...
Part or all of appliance does
not work.
• Check to be sure plug is securely in-
serted into receptacle.
• Check or re-set circuit breaker. Check or
replace fuse.
• Check power supply.
• Check if surface and/or oven controls
have been properly set. See pages 5-7.
Surface burner fails to light.
• Check to be sure unit is properly con-
nected to power supply.
• Checkforablowncircuitfuseoratripped
main circuit breaker.
• Check tobe sureburner ports or ignition
ports are not clogged. See page 4.
• Check to be sure ignitor is dry and click-
ing. Burner will not light if ignitor is
damaged, soiled or wet. If ignitor doesn't
click, turn control knob Off.
The flame is uneven.
• Burner ports maybe clogged.
Surface burner flame lifts off
ports.
• Check to be sure a pan is sitting on the
grate above.
Baking results differ from
previous oven.
•Temperatures often varybetween a new
oven and an old one. As ovens age, the
oven temperature often "drifts" and may
become hotter or cooler.
Baking results are not what
you expected.
•Check the oven temperature selected.
Make sure oven is preheated when recipe
or directions recommend preheat.
• Check rack positions. See page 8.
• Use correct pan. Darkpans produce dark
browning. Shiny pans produce light
browning. See "Cooking Made Simple"
booklet for snore information on
bakeware.
• Check the use of foil in the oven. Never
use foil to cover an entire oven rack.
Place a small piece of foil on the rack
below the pan to catch spillovers.
• Checkpan placement. Stagger pans when
using two racks. Allow 1-2 inches be-
tween pans and oven walls.
• Make sure the oven vent has not been
blocked. See page 7for location.
• Check to make sure range is level.
Food not broiling properly.
•Check oven setting. See page 7.
• Check rack positions. See page 7.
• Aluminum foil was incorrectly used.
Never line the broiler pan insert with foil.
Oven smokes excessively
during broiling.
• Food too close to flame. See page 7 for
snore information.
• Broiler insert covered with aluminum
foil.
• Excess fat not trimmed from meat prior
to broiling.
• A soiled broiler pan was used.
Moisture condensation
collects on oven window.
• This is normal when cooking food high
in moisture.
• Excessive moisturewas used when clean-
ing the window.
Strong odor or light smoke
occurs when oven is turned
on.
• This is normal for a new range and will
disappear after a few uses. Opening a
window or turning on a fan will help
remove the smoke and odor.
• Excessive food soils on the oven bottom.
