IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
- Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
Before performing any service, disconnect the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

- Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

■Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

■Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.

- Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation.

- Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.

- Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.

- Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation Instructions packed with the range.

Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

WARNING: These adjustments must be made by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

- Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

■ Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.

Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your range.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your range.
■ Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.
- Do not clean the range with flammable or volatile cleaning fluids.
■ After prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the cooktop or oven.

For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.
- Do not clean the range when the appliance is in use.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.

• Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a range storage drawer or near a cooktop.
  Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
  Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.
  Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.
■ Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located through the rear and front center of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the storage drawer or kick panel.
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

WARNING!

SURFACE BURNERS

Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

■ Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
■ Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
- Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.

- When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners.

- Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.

■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.

■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

- Do not operate the burner without all burner parts in place.

■ Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

■When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.
- Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
■ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—they may melt if left too close to the vent.
- Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.
If range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and create a fire hazard.
If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
■ Always turn the surface burner controls off before removing cookware.
Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160^ F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180^ F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

WARNING!

OVEN

Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

- Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

- Keep the oven vents unobstructed.

- Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

Place the oven rack in the desired position while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.

- When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

■Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

- Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

- Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

- Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

■ Make sure a broiler pan is in place correctly to reduce the possibility of grease fires.

If you should have a grease fire in a broiler pan, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and keep the oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) and all other cookware.

- Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation.

If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Using the gas surface burners.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Hand pressing a button on a wall with an arrow indicating left motion (no text or symbols)

Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

You will hear a little clicking noise—the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.

After the flame lights, turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click.

When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Sealed Gas Burners

The smaller burner (right rear position) will give the best simmer results for delicate foods, such as sauces or foods which need to cook over low heat for a long time. It can be turned down to a very low setting.

The largest burners are higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker.

How to Select Flame Size

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware.

Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

In Case of Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

Before Lighting a Gas Burner

■ Make sure all grates on the range are in place before using any burner.

After Lighting a Gas Burner

Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer's recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards.

This can be hazardous to your health.

Wok This Way

We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.

Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.

Symbolic image of a pan with a crossed-out black 'X' mark, representing resistance or crossed-out cooking (no text present)

Do not use a round-bottomed wok on a support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be dangerous to your health.

■The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Power Outage

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the electric ignition oven during an electrical power failure.

The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This is because the flow of gas is automatically stopped and will not resume when power is restored until the glow bar has reached operating temperature.

If a flashing time is in the display, electric power has been restored. Reset the clock.

If your oven was set for a timed oven operation and a power outage occurred, the clock and all programmed functions must be reset.

To reset the clock, touch the CLOCK pad. Enter the correct time of day by touching the + or - pads. Touch the START/ON pad.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Technical diagram of a multi-tiered rack with labeled components A through G, showing structural details.

The oven has 7 rack positions.

Before you begin...

The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops.

The bake burner is under the oven floor. Do not place foods on the oven bottom for cooking.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.

CAUTION: When you are using the rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the lowest position (A).

Bundt or pound cakes B or C

Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C or D cookies, cupcakes, layer cakes, pies

Casseroles C or D

Turkey A

If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack B and two layers on rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other.

Symbolic image showing a crossed-out black X over a bowl of food, enclosed in a window with musical notes above.

Do not place foods or pizza stone directly on the oven floor.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. The preheat time will vary depending on the temperature setting.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1" to 1½" of air space around it.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through the rear vent located through the cooktop under the vent grille. Do not block this vent when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation—they may become hot.

■ Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—they may melt if left too close to the vent.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.
■ Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

IMPORTANT: To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a broiler pan designed for broiling.
2 Follow suggested rack positions in the Broiling Guide.
3 The oven door must be closed during broiling.
4 Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil.

To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again.

Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.

5 Touch the START/ON pad.
6 When broiling is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

Serve the food immediately, and leave the pan outside the oven to cool during the meal for easiest cleaning.

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Using the self-cleaning oven.

Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.

Before a Clean Cycle

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel wool pads or cleansers such as Soft ScrubRinse well with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

Wait until the oven has cooled below the locking temperature to unlatch the door. You will not be able to open the door right away unless the oven has cooled below the locking temperature.

After a Clean Cycle

You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.

■ You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to be unlatched.
■While the oven is self-cleaning, you can touch the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, touch the COOKING TIME pad.
■ Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper towel. Do not spray with Pan® or other lubricant sprays.

Care and cleaning of the range.

WARNING: If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier. The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher cleaning. Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning. or they may also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing. Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.

CAUTION:

DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE.

Burner Assembly

The burner assemblies should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Turn all controls off before removing burner parts. The burner grates, burner heads and burner caps can be removed for easy cleaning.

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed beyond the surface of the burner base. When cleaning the cooktop, be careful not to snag the electrode of the spark igniter with your cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur. To avoid snagging a cloth on the spark igniter, leave the burner heads in place when cleaning the cooktop.

Be careful not to push in any cooktop controls while cleaning the cooktop. A slight electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Wash burner parts with an all-purpose non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Soak stubborn soil. Dry them with a cloth—do not reassemble while wet.

To reassemble the surface burners:

1 Place burner heads over the electrodes on the cooktop, in the correct locations according to their size.

2 Place the matching size caps onto the heads. Make sure that the heads and caps are placed in the correct locations.

After cleaning, first replace the vent grille and vent grille cap. Replace the side grates so that they fit over the tabs on the vent grille. Make sure the grates are positioned securely over the burners and that they

Burner Grates, Vent Grille and Vent Grille Cap

Porcelain enamel burner grates, vent grille and vent grille cap should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers.

Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may also use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, if needed. Dry them with a cloth—don't put them back on the cooktop wet.

Although they're durable, the grates, vent grille and vent grille cap will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

After cleaning, first replace the vent grille and the vent grille cap.

Replace the side grates so that they fit over the tabs on the vent grille. Make sure the grates are positioned securely over the burners and that they are stable and level.
