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.
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 Install or locate the range only in accordance
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, formal-
dehyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primarily
from incomplete combustion. Significant
exposure to these substances can cause
cancer or reproductive harm. Properly
adjusted burners with a blue, rather than a
yellow, flame will minimize incomplete
combustion. 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 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.

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 resuft.
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 cooktop, the oven door and
window.
!k&
\
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.
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 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 usinn the cookton
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
cook-tops without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
l Never leave surface burners unattended at
high heat settings. A boilover could resutt
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
replacing food.

Grease Care and cleaning
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 muftipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
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 Disconnect the electrical supply and the gas
supply at the shutoff valve near the range
before servicing the range.

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.
Electric ignitors automatically light the burners
each time they are used.
Push in control knobs and turn them 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 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.
. 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, and then turn the
control knob down to continue cooking.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
LlTE l
To light the burner. After the
burner lights, turn control back
to a desired setting.
HI l
To start foods cooking.
l To bring liquids to a boil.
Medium 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.
LO 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, 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 results.
. 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.
8

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.
. Keep reflector pans clean for best heat
reflection.
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:
Angel and bundt cakes,
most quick breads, yeast
breads, casseroles, meats
~Cookies, biscuits, muffins,
cakes, nonfrozen pies
When baking on two racks
arrange racks on
first and third rack guides frc n bottom.
2nd rack guide
from bottom
2nd or 3rd rack
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 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.
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 kerns 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

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%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 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.

turn on and off to maintain the temperature
setting.
5. When baking/roasting is done, turn the
Oven Temperature Control to OFF.
12

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.
Locking
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.

Energy saving tips
Afthough the energy used for cooking is usually a
very small percentage of the total energy used in
the home, cookfng energy can be used effi-
ciently. 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 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 peaking” 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 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.
l Do not preheat when broiling, roasting or
cooking items such as casseroles.
l Keep reflector pans clean for best heat
reflection.
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 can become
hot enough to burn the user and to melt
plastics. Use potholders to move pans.
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.
