Important Safety 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 when using the range, follow basic precautions, includ-
ing the following:
WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a
fire or explosion may 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 Immediately 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.
General
l Gas fuels and their use in appliances can
cause minor exposures to benzene, formal-
* Install or locate the range only in accordance dehyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primar-
with the provided Installation Instructions.
The range must be installed by a qualified ily from incomplete combustion. Significant
exposure to these substances can cause
installer. The range must be properly cancer or reproductive harm. Properly
connected to the proper gas supply and adjusted burners with a blue, rather than a
checked for leaks. The range must also be yellow, flame will minimize incomplete
properly connected to electrical supply and combustion. Venting with a hood or an open
grounded. window will further minimize exposure.

l CAUTION: Do not store things children might
want above the range. Children could be
burned or injured while climbing on it.
l Do not leave children 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.
. 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 on
electric ignition models 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 interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of
the range may become hot enough to cause
burns; such as, the oven vent opening, the
surface near the vent opening, the cook-top
and the oven door.
l Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the range. They could ignite if
they touch a hot surface burner and you
could be burned.
l Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on surface burners may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch
surface burners. Do not use a towel or bulky
cloth for a potholder. It could catch on fire.
l Keep range vents unobstructed.
. 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 can create an explo-
sion and/or fire hazard.
l Do not use the oven for storage.
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 spillovers. Heavy splattering or spillovers
left on a range can ignite and burn you. Pan
size is especially 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, earthen-
ware 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 may ignite.

l Turn pan handles inward, but not over other
surface burners. This will help reduce the
chance of burns, igniting of flammable
materials, and spills due to bumping of the
pan.
l Do not use decorative covers or trivets over
the surface burners.
When using the oven
l Always position the oven rack(s) in desired
location while oven is cool.
l Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air
or steam escape before removing or replac-
ing food.
Grease
l Grease is flammable. Do not allow grease to
collect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe
spillovers immediately.
l 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 multipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
Care and cleaning
l Do not clean door heat seal. It is essential 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 On some models, disconnect the electrical
supply before servicing the range. On all
models, disconnect the gas supply at the
shutoff valve near the range before servicing.

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 either standing pilots
or electric ignitors. Standing pilots must be lit
initially with a match following the directions on
page 11. The pilot light will remain lit when the
burners are turned off. To turn a burner on again, -
just push in and turn the control knob to LITE
and the burner will light. Electric igniters automati-
cally light the burners each time the control knob
is turned to LITE.
Push in control knobs and turn them to the
LITE position. On electric ignitor models, the
clicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Visually
check that burner has lit.
After the burner lights, turn the control knob
to the desired setting. You can set the control
knob anywhere 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).
If the heat setting is too high, it can:
l Char bacon and cause curling.
l Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.
9Toughen liver, fish and seafood.
l Scorch delicate sauces and custards.
l Cause a boilover.
7

Until you get used to the setting, use the
following as a guide. For best results, start
cooking at the high setting; then turn the control
knob down to continue cooking.
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 hold 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 with electric ignitors can be
manually lighted. Hold a lit match near a burner
and slowly turn the control knob on until the
burner lights. After the burner lights, turn the
control knob to the desired setting. Power failures
will not affect standing pilots. Do not attempt to
operate an electric ignition oven during a
power failure.
Burn, Fire, Explosion and
Product Damage Hazard
l Burner flame should not extend beyond the
edge of the cooking utensil. The flame can
burn you and cause poor cooking resutts.
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 precau-
tions could result in explosion or fire.
l Do not leave an empty utensil, or one
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface
burner. The utensil can overheat and may
damage the utensil or cooking product.
Cookware tips
There is no one brand of cooking utensil that is
best for all people. Knowing something about pan
materials and construction will help you select the
correct cooking utensils for your needs.
l NOTE: For best results and greater fuel
efficiency, use only flat-bottomed utensils that
make good contact with the surface burners.
Utensils with rounded, warped, ridged (porce-
lain enamel-ware) or dented bottoms could
cause severe overheating, which damages the
utensil and/or surface burner.
Woks, canners and teakettles with flat
bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are
now available in most stores that sell
housewares.
l The pan should have straight sides and a tight-
fitting lid.
l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)
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.
l Handles should 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 utensils only as they were 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 larger diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can cause
damage to the cooklop.
To protect your range:
l For best reeufts, 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.
Positioning racks and pans
For baking/roeeting with one rack, place the
rack so the top of the food will be centered in the
oven.
Rack placement for l pectfk foods:
1
FOOD RACK POSITION
Frozen pies, large roasts, 1st or 2nd rack
turkeys guide from bottom
Angel and bundt cakes, 2nd rack guide
most quick breads, yeast from bottom
breads, casseroles, meats
Cookies, biscuits, muffins, 2nd or 3rd rack
cakes, nonfrozen pies guide from bottom
When baking on two recka, arrange racks on
first and third rack guides from bottom.
6th 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 rosstlng, follow these guklelines:
l The rack must be level.
l Use adequate amount of liquid (meat juices or
water) so food does not get overdone.
. Do not try to pull rack out over door. Rack will
be at the same level as door when door is
opened.
Personal Injury Hazard
l 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 removing
large food items from sixth rack position.
Food will be close to hot surfaces, including
oven bottom and sides.
Failure to follow the above precautions
may result in personal injury.
6th oven
rack position
9

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 1 I/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).
. Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at one
time.
Use the following 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.

-__-
Adjusting the oven temperature control
Oven temperature controls will gradually shift
after years of use. So, even though your new
oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate
temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than
your old oven.
If, after using the oven for a period of time, you
are not satisfied with the temperature settings,
you can adjust them by following these steps:
1. Push in and turn the Oven Temperature
Control Knob to the off position. Pull knob
straight off and flip it over.
2. Loosen the locking screws inside the control
knob. Note the position of the notches.
3. To lower the temperature, hold knob handle
firmly and move the tooth a notch clockwise.
Each notch equals about 10°F (5°C).
4. To raise the temperature, hold knob handle
firmly and move the tooth a notch counter-
clockwise. Each notch equals about 10°F
(5°C).
Tighten the locking screws and replace the
control knob.
Broiling
The broiler drawer is located below the oven
door. Always broil with the oven door closed.
1. Pull the broiler drawer open and tilt the door
panel down.
2. Place broiler pan grid so grease can drain
down ribbing and through slots into lower part
of the broiler pan. See picture.
Drain slot Rib Front
3. Before the broiler is turned on, place food
on broiler pan and position the broiler pan at
one of the three levels. Refer to a reliable
cookbook for broiling chart.
Slds view

4. Push in and turn the Oven Temperature
Control to BROIL. The broiler will automatically
light in 50-60 seconds.
5. When broiling is done, turn the Oven
Temperature Control to OFF.
NOTE: Do not preheat the broiler before using.
Completely close the broiler drawer during
broiling.
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.
9 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 or off to finish
cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when
possible.
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
resufts. Rely on your timer to keep track of the
cooking time.
l Bake cakes, pies or cookies when oven is
warm. Best time is after a meal has been
cooked in it.
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.
. Do not preheat when broiling, roasting or
cooking items such as casseroles.
The oven vent
Hot air and moisture escape from the oven
through a vent located under the 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 can become
hot enough to burn the user and to melt
plastics. Use potholders to move pans.
14

The anti-tip bracket
The range will not tip during normal use. How-
ever, tipping can occur if you apply too much
force or weight to the open door without the anti-
tip bracket properly secured.
To verify the anti-tip bracket is engaged:
l Look to see if the anti-tip bracket is attached
with screws to the wall behind the backguard.
l Make sure the cable tether on the back of the
range is secured by the two hooks on the
bracket.
l See Installation Instructions for further details.

Your range is designed for ease of 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.
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.
4. Replace burner grates,
Burn, Electrical Shock, Fire and
Explosion Hazard
. 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.
Failure to follow these guidelines could result
in burns, electrical shock, fire or explosion.
16

Lift-up cooktop
1. Remove surface burner grates.
2. Lift front of cooktop at both front corners until
the support rods lock into place.
Personal Injury and
Product Damage Hazard
l Be sure both support rods are fully ex-
tended and in the locked position. Failure
to do so could resuft in personal injury from
the cooktop accidentally falling.
l Do not drop the cooktop. Damage can
result to the porcelain and the cooktop
frame.
3. Wipe with warm, soapy water. Use a soapy
steel-wool pad on heavily soiled areas.
NOTE: When cleaning under the cook-top on
standing pilot models, be careful not to
extinguish pilots.
4. To lower the cooktop, lift cooktop from both
sides while pressing the support rods back to
unlock them. Lower the cooktop into place.
Replace surface burner grates.
Surface burners
1. Lift up the cooktop, following the instructions
above.
2.
Before cleaning, remove screws that hold
each of the burners in place. The 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.
4. If ports are clogged, clean with a straight
pin. DO NOT enlarge or distort the ports.
DO NOT use a toothpick to clean the ports.

5. Before putting the burners back, dry them
thoroughly by setting them in a warm oven for
30 minutes.
6. Replace burners, making sure they are
properly seated and level. Replace screws.
7. Occasionally check the burner flames for
proper size and shape as shown. A good
flame is blue in color. If flames lift off ports, are
yellow, or are noisy when turned off, you may
need to clean the burners (see page 17) or
call a qualified technician for adjustment.
