IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
■ Proper Installation – The range, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Be sure the range is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
■ WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF
THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK
IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE
RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET
SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR OR WALL, AND
SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER
ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
■ This range is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
for your protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
■ Disconnect power before servicing.
■ Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or
drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors
or drawers.
■ 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 oven.
■ Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
■ 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.
■ Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
■ Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
■ CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range –
children climbing on the range to reach items could be
seriously injured.
For self-cleaning ranges –
■ Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and
other utensils. Wipe off all excessive spillage before
initiating the cleaning cycle.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without
cookware on the grate.
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps and bases according to
the “General Cleaning” section.
IMPORTANT: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models.
Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and the range operating
improperly.
To Set Burner Temperature:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the
gas tube by always using a burner cap.
All 4 surface burners will click. Only the burner with the
control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. The clicking will
stop. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat

4. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a
trained repair specialist.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the
cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
5. Replace the burner cap onto the burner base, making sure
the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap.
A
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material

A. Oven vent
■
■
Do not use broiler drawer for storage.
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and
cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that
could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Use only the broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices
and help avoid spatter and smoke.
■
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
■
■
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin
cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
