Important safety Instructions
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Gas ranges have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with
any appliance, there are specific installation and safety precautions which must be followed
to ensure safe and satisfactory operation.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons,
or damage where using the range, follow basic precautions,
Including the following:
WARNING: lf the information in this manual is not followed exactly,
a fire or explosion could result causing property damage, personal
injury or death.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
l Do not try to light any appliance.
l Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your
building.
l lmmedlately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow
the gas supplier’s Instructions.
l If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.
Genera I
l Install or locate the range only in accor-
dance with the provided Installation
Instructions. The range must be installed
by a qualified installer. The range must be
properly connected to the proper gas
supply and checked for leaks. The range
must also be properly connected to
electrical supply and grounded.
l Gas fuels and their use in appliances can
cause minor exposures to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and
soot, primarily from incomplete combus-
tion. Significant exposure to these
substances could cause cancer or
reproductive harm. Properly adjusted
burners with a blue, rather than a yellow,
flame will minimize incomplete combus-
tion. Venting with a hood or an open
window will further minimize exposure.
l Do not store things children might want
above the range. Children could be burned
or injured while climbing on it.
l Do not leave chikiren alone or unattended
in area where the range is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the range. They could be
burned or injured.
l Do not operate the range if it is damaged
or not working properly.
continued on next page

l Do not use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
l Do not attempt to light the oven burner
during a power failure. Personal injury
could result. Reset oven controls to the
off position in the event of a power
failure.
l Use the range only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
l Do not touch surface burners, areas
near surface burners or interior surfaces
of oven. Areas near surface burners and
interior surfaces of an oven become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact surface
burners, areas near surface burners or
interiir surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other sur-
faces of the range, such as the oven
vent opening, the surface near the vent
opening, the cooktop, the oven door and
window, could also become hot enough
to cause bums.
l Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the range. They could ignite
if they touch an open flame and you
could be burned.
. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces could result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch an open flame. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could
catch on fire.
l Keep range vents unobstructed.
l Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
l Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
l Do not use the oven for storage.
l Do not use aluminum foil to line area
around surface burners, oven bottom, or
any other part of the range. Use alumi-
num foil only as recommended in this
manual.
l Never use a match or other flame to look
for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could
result.
l Know where your main gas shutoff valve
is located.
When using the cooktop
l Make sure the utensils you use are large
enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and @lovers. Heavy splatter-
ing or spillovers left on a range could
ignite and burn you. Pan size is espe-
cially important in deep fat frying.
l Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the range. Only
certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
l Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that could ignite.
4

1Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface burners. This will help
reduce the chance of bums, igniting of
flammable materials, and spills due to
bumping of the pan.
bDo not use decorative covers or trivets
over the surface burners.
When using the oven
DAlways position the oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
bUse care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
bGrease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop or in
vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.
Care and cleaning
l Do not clean door heat seal. It is essen-
tial for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the
seal. Clean only parts recommended in
this Use and Care Guide.
l Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified technician.
l Any additions, changes or conversions
required in order for this appliance to
satisfactorily meet the application needs
must be made by a Roper Distributor or
Qualified Agency.
l Disconnect the electrical supply and the
gas supply at the shutoff valve near the
range before servicing the range.
. Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan by covering with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease
outside of pan can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a multipur-
pose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.

To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your range properly. This
section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your range.
Using the surface burners
Your range is equipped with electric ignitors.
Electrii ignitors automatically light the
burners each time they are used.
Push In and turn
Push In the control knob and turn
counterclockwise to the LITE position. The
clicking sound is the ignitor sparking.
Visually check that burner has lit.
To stop the clicking sound after the burner
lights, turn the control knob to the desired
setting. You can set the control knob any-
where between HI and LO.
Surface burner markers
The solid dot in the surface burner marker
shows which surface burner is turned on by
that knob.
Burner heat settings
Use correct burner heat settings (see next
page). lf the heat setting is too high, it can:
l Char bacon and cause curling.
l Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.
l Toughen liver, fish and seafood.
l Scorch delicate sauces and custards.
l Cause a boilover.
7

Until you get used to the settings, use
the following as a guide. For best results,
start cooking at the high setting; then turn
the control knob down to continue cooking.
SElTlNG
LITE
HI
Medium
LO
RECOMMENDED USE
l To light the burner. After the
burner lights, turn control
back to a desired setting.
l To start foods cooking.
l To bring liquids to a boil.
l To howl a rapid boil.
l To fry chicken or pancakes.
l For gravy, pudding and
icing.
l To cook large amounts of
vegetables.
l To keep food warm until
ready to serve.
NOTE: Do not cook with the control in the
LITE position.
In case of a prolonged power
failure
Surface burners can be manually lighted.
Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the
control knob to the LITE position. After the
burner lights, turn the control knob to the
desired setting.
Burn, Fire and Explosion Hazard
l Burner flame should not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking
utensil. The flame could burn you and
cause poor cooking results.
l Be sure all control knobs are turned to
OFF when you are not cooking.
Someone could be burned or a fire
could start if a burner is accidentally
left ON.
l If the flame should go out while
cooking, or if there is a strong gas
odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five
minutes for the gas odor to disappear
before relighting burner. If gas odor is
still present, see safety note on page 3.
Failure to follow these precautions
couM result in explosion or fire.
Product Damage Hazard
Do not leave an empty utensil, or one
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface
burner.
The utensil coukf overheat and could
damage the utensil or cooking product.
Cookware tips
No one brand of cookware is best for all
people. Knowing something about pan
materiils and construction will help you
select the correct cookware for your needs.
l NOTE: For best results and greater fuel
efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cook-
ware in gcod condition.
l The pan should have straight sides and a
tight-fitting lid.
l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-
ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.
l The pan material (metal or glass) affects
how fast heat transfers from the surface
burners through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.
Choose pans that provide the best cooking
results.
8

l Handles shouM be made of a sturdy, heat-
resistant material and be securely attached
to the pan.
l Pans should be easy to clean. Check to be
sure there are no crevices, rough edges or
areas where food might collect.
l Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are
full or empty.
l Use cookware only as it was intended to
be used. Follow pan instructions. This is
very important for glass cookware because
some should be used only in the oven.
Other pans are marked as flameware and
may be used on the surface burners.
Home canning information
The large diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can cause
damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:
l For best results, use a canner which can
be centered over the surface burner.
l Do not place canner on two surface
burners at the same time. Too much heat
will build up and will damage the cooktop.
l Start with hot water. This reduces the
time the control is set on high. Reduce
heat setting to lowest position needed to
keep water boiling.
l Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
Positioning racks and pans
For baking/roasting with one rack, place
the rack so the top of the food will be
centered in the oven.
Rack placement for specific foods:
FOOD RACK POSITION
Frozen pies, large 1st or 2nd rack
roasts, turkeys guide from bottom
Angel and bundt cakes, 2nd rack guide
most quick breads, from bottom
yeast breads, casse-
roles, meats
Cookies, biscuits,
muffins, cakes,
nonfrozen pies
2nd or 3rd rack
guide from botton
When baking on two racks, arrange racks
on first and third rack guides from bottom.
Personal Injury Hazard
@Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location before turning oven
on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.
l If rack(s) must be moved while oven
is hot, use potholders or oven mitts to
protect hands.
l Do not place items on the open oven
door.
l Be careful when installing and remov-
ing large food items from extra roast-
ing rack position. Food will be close to
hot surfaces, including oven bottom
and sides.
Failure to follow the above precautions
could resuft in personal injury.
9

Extra oven rack position
(roasting rack)
When roasting food too large to be placed in
oven with rack in lowest position, place rack
on bottom of oven.
For proper roasting, follow these
guidelines:
l The rack must be level.
l Use adequate amount of liquid (meat
juices or water) so food does not get
overdone.
l Do not try to pull rack out over door.
Rack will be at the same level as door
when door is opened.
For best air circulation
Hot air must circulate around the pans in the
oven for even heat to reach all parts of the
oven. This results in better baking.
l Place the pans so that one is not directly
over the other.
l For best results, allow 1l/z-2 inches
(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and
between pans and oven walls. There must
be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).
l Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at
one time.
Use the followlng as a guide to determine
where to place the pans:
One pan
Place in the center of the oven rack.
Two pans
Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.
Three or four pans
Place in opposite corners on each oven rack.
Stagger pans so no pan is directly over
another.

Energy saving tips
Although the energy used for cooking is
usually a very small percentage of the total
energy used in the home, cooking energy
can be used efficiently. Here are some tips
to help you save energy when using your
cooking product:
l Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides
and tight-fitting lids.
l Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to
help shorten cooking time.
l Preheat pans only when recommended
and for the shortest time possible.
l Start food on higher heat settings, then
set surface burner control on low to
finish cooking.
l Use the more efficient surface burners
instead of the oven when possible.
l Turn on the surface burner only after
placing filled pan on the burner grate.
l “Oven Peeking” may cause heat loss,
longer cooking times and unsatisfactory
baking results. Rely on your timer to keep
track of the cooking time.
l Bake cakes, pies or cookies when oven is
warm. Best time to bake is right after a
meal has been cooked in oven.
l Preheat the oven no longer than
necessary.
l Plan your meals for the most efficient use
of the range. When using the oven to cook
one food, try to cook the rest of the meal in
it also.
l Do not preheat when broiling, roasting or
cooking items such as casseroles.
14

The oven vent
Hot air and moisture escape from the oven
through a vent located in lower part of
backguard. The vent is needed for air
circulation. Do not block the vent. Poor
baking/roasting will result.
NOTE: Never store plastics, paper or other
items that could melt or burn near the oven
vent, or any of the surface burners.
Burn Hazard
When the oven is ON, pans and pan
handles left near the oven vent could
become hot enough to burn the user
and to melt plastics. Use potholders to
move pans.
The anti-tip brackets
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 brackets properly secured.
Personal Injury Hazard
.To reduce risk of range tipping over, secure range with property
installed anti-tip brackets supplied with range.
l If range is moved for cleaning or service, check that anti-tip devices
are engaged before using range.
Failure to follow the above precautions could result in personal injury.
To verify the anti-tip brackets
are engaged:
l Grasp rear of range and carefully try to tilt
forward. If anti-tip brackets are attached to
floor with screws and rear leveling legs are
positioned under brackets (one for each
rear leveling leg), range should not tilt
forward.

Your range is designed for easy care. You
can do most cleaning with items found
around your home. Cleaning your range
whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to
keep it looking and operating like new.
Burn, Electrical Shock, Fire and
Explosion Hazard
l Make sure all controls are OFF and the
range is cool before cleaning.
l Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or
rust removers.
l Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air.
l Keep appliance area clear and free of
combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
Failure to follow these guidelines could
result in burns, electrical shock, fire or
explosion.
Surface burner grates
1. Make sure all surface burners are off and
the surrounding parts are cool.
2. Lift off the surface burner grates.
3. Wash the grates with warm, soapy water
or in a dishwasher. Use a nonabrasive,
plastic scrubbing pad for cooked-on
foods. Rinse and dry well.

screws prevent the burners from moving
during shipment. Remove the shipping
screw with a Phillips screwdriver, lift the
burner up, tilt it to one side at the end
closest to the ignitor and move it toward
the back of the range. This separates the
burner from the gas valve at the front of
the range, so it can be easily removed.
3. Wipe off surface burners with warm, soapy
water and a sponge after each use. To
remove cooked-on food, soak the burners
in a vinegar and water solution for 20-30
minutes. Scrub with a plastic scrubbing pad.
