IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
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  
cancer, 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.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
When using your appliance, follow basic safety  
precautions, including the following:  
WARNING:  
All ranges can tip and injury  
could result. To prevent  
• Have the installer show you the location of  
the range gas shut-off valve and how to turn  
it off if necessary.  
accidental tipping of the range,  
attach it to the wall by installing  
the Anti-Tip device supplied.  
• Be sure all packing materials are removed  
from the range before operating it to prevent  
fire or smoke damage should the packing  
material ignite.  
To check if the device is  
installed and engaged properly,  
carefully tip the range forward.  
The Anti-Tip device should  
engage and prevent the range  
from tipping over.  
• 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 use.  
Never install it directly over interior kitchen  
carpeting.  
If you pull the range out from the wall for  
any reason, make sure the device is properly  
engaged when you push the range back  
against the wall.  
• Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path  
and out of drafty locations and areas with  
poor air circulation.  
If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range  
tipping over and causing injury if you or a  
child stand, sit or lean on an open door.  
Please refer to the Anti-Tip information in  
the installation instructions.  
Failure to take this precaution could result in  
tipping of the range and injury.

AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ  
AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ  
• Le California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic  
Enforcement Act exige que le Gouverneur de  
Californie publie une liste de substances que  
l’on sait causer des anomalies congénitales  
ou d’autres déficiences de reproduction et  
exige que les entreprises mettent en garde  
leurs clients contre une exposition possible  
à ces substances.  
• Les appareils ménagers à gaz peuvent causer  
une exposition mineure aux substances  
suivantes : le benzène, le monoxyde de  
carbone, le formaldéhyde et la suie,  
produites principalement par la combustion  
incomplète de gaz naturel ou de carburants  
de pétrole liquéfié.  
Un bon réglage des brûleurs, indiqué  
par une flamme bleuâtre plutôt que jaune,  
minimise une combustion incomplète.  
Vous pouvez diminuer l’exposition à ces  
substances en aérant, en ouvrant les fenêtres  
ou en utilisant une hotte ou un ventilateur  
d’aération.  
• L’isolant de fibres de verre dans les  
cuisinières autonettoyantes émet de toutes  
petites quantités de monoxyde de carbone  
pendant le cycle de nettoyage. Vous pouvez  
réduire votre exposition à ce monoxyde de  
carbone en aérant, en ouvrant les fenêtres  
ou en utilisant une hotte ou un ventilateur  
d’aération.  
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ  
Pour utiliser votre appareil ménager, vous  
devez prendre certaines précautions de base,  
en particulier les précautions suivantes :  
AVERTISSEMENT:  
Toutes les cuisinières peuvent  
basculer et causer des blessures.  
Pour éviter que votre cuisinière  
bascule accidentellement,  
• Demandez à l’installateur de vous montrer  
l’emplacement du robinet d’alimentation de  
gaz de la cuisinière et la manière de couper  
l’alimentation de gaz si nécessaire.  
fixez-la au mur ou au plancher  
en installant le mécanisme  
anti-basculant fourni.  
• Assurez-vous de bien enlever tous les  
matériaux d’emballage de votre cuisinière  
avant de commencer à l’utiliser, pour éviter  
tout risque d’incendie ou de dommage dû  
à la fumée si les matériaux d’emballage  
prennent feu.  
Pour vérifier si le mécanisme  
est bien installé et fixé, faites  
basculer avec soin la cuisinière  
vers l’avant. Le mécanisme anti-basculant  
devrait se brancher et empêcher la cuisinière  
de basculer vers l’avant.  
• Après tout usage prolongé de votre  
cuisinière, il se produit une élévation de la  
température du plancher et ne nombreuses  
couvertures de plancher ne supportent pas  
ce genre d’utilisation. N’installez jamais votre  
cuisinière sur des carreaux de vinyle ou sur  
du linoléum, qui ne peuvent pas supporter  
ce genre d’utilisation. N’installez jamais votre  
cuisinière directement sur un revêtement  
intérieur de cuisine.  
Si vous écartez du mur votre cuisinière  
en la tirant, pour une raison quelconque,  
assurez-vous que le mécanisme entre bien  
quand vous repoussez la cuisinière contre  
le mur.  
Autrement, vous risquez de faire basculer la  
cuisinière en occasionnant des blessures si un  
enfant se tient, est assis ou se penche sur une  
porte ouverte.  
• Ne placez jamais votre cuisinière dans un  
passage ou dans un emplacement venteux  
ou un endroit où il peut y avoir une mauvaise  
circulation de l’air.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
• Use this appliance only for its intended use  
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp  
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in  
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders  
touch surface burners, burner grates or  
oven heating elements. Do not use a towel  
or other bulky cloth.  
as described in this manual.  
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed  
and grounded by a qualified technician in  
accordance with the provided installation  
instructions.  
• When surface cooking, do not touch the  
surface burners, burner grates, grill or  
griddle (on some models) or the  
surrounding areas.  
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any  
part of your range unless it is specifically  
recommended in this manual. All other  
servicing should be referred to a qualified  
technician.  
When using the oven, do not touch the oven  
heating elements, the interior surface of the  
oven or the exterior area immediately  
surrounding the door or back trim.  
• Before performing any service,  
DISCONNECT THE RANGE POWER  
SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD  
DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING  
THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE  
CIRCUIT BREAKER.  
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.  
During and after use, do not touch, or  
let clothing or other flammable materials  
contact, the surface burners, grill or griddle  
(on some models), areas near the surface  
burners, or any interior area of the oven;  
allow sufficient time for cooling first.  
• 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.  
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,  
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,  
surfaces near the opening, crevices around  
the oven door, the drip tray handles directly  
above the oven door, metal trim parts  
above the door, or any backguard or high  
shelf surface.  
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang  
on the door, kick panel, drip tray handles,  
or cooktop. They could damage the range  
and even tip it over, causing severe personal  
injury.  
• Do not store flammable materials in the oven  
or near the cooktop.  
The drip trays get hot when the oven is on.  
Do not remove the drip trays until they  
are cool.  
• Do not store plastic, flammable liquids or  
combustible materials on top of the optional  
high shelf.  
CAUTION: The inside surface of the oven  
may be hot when the door is opened.  
• 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.  
• Keep the ventilator hood and grease filters  
clean to maintain good venting and to avoid  
grease fires. Turn the ventilator OFF in case  
of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor  
or other spirits on the cooktop. The blower,  
if in operation, could spread the flames.  
• For your safety, never use your appliance  
for warming or heating the room.  
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion  
or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure  
a fresh air supply is available.  
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments  
while using the appliance. Be careful when  
reaching for items stored over the range.  
Flammable material could be ignited if  
brought in contact with surface burners,  
burner grates or oven heating elements  
and may cause severe burns.  
• 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.

AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ  
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ  
• N’utilisez cet appareil qu’aux fins prévues décrites  
• N’utilisez que des poignées de casserole sèches.  
Des poignées de casseroles humides ou mouillées  
sur des surfaces chaudes peuvent occasionner des  
brûlures dues à la vapeur. Ne laissez jamais de  
poignée de casserole s’approcher des brûleurs  
de surface, des grilles de brûleur ou des éléments  
de chauffage du four. N’utilisez jamais de serviette  
ou de linge épais à la place d’une poignée de  
casserole.  
• Quand vous cuisez en surface, ne touchez jamais  
les brûleurs de surface, les grilles de brûleur, la  
grille ou le grill (sur certains modèles), ni les  
surfaces avoisinantes.  
Quand vous utilisez le four, ne touchez jamais les  
éléments de chauffage du four, la surface intérieure

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never  
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls  
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface  
unit 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.  
• If you smell gas, the installer has not done a  
proper job of checking for leaks. You can have  
a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if  
the connections are not completely tight.  
Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself  
procedure. Some leaks can only be found  
with the burner control in the ON position  
and for your protection it must be done by  
a qualified service technician. Never use an  
open flame to locate a leak.  
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.  
• If by some chance a burner goes out and  
gas escapes, open a window or a door to  
let the room air out. Do not attempt to use  
the appliance until the gas has had time  
to dissipate. Follow the instructions in  
“What to do if You Smell Gas” on page 2.  
Flame in the oven can be smothered  
completely by closing the oven door and  
turning the oven off or by using a multi-  
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire  
extinguisher.  
• 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 use aluminum foil to line any part of  
the oven or cooktop. Using a foil liner could  
result in a fire hazard or the obstruction of  
the flow of combustion and ventilation air.  
Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat  
will be trapped underneath it. This trapped  
heat can upset the cooking performance and  
can damage the finish of the oven or the  
cooktop.  
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable  
materials accumulate in or near the range.  
Clean drip trays and liners after every use.  
SURFACE COOKING  
• Do not heat unopened food containers;  
a build-up of pressure may cause the  
container to burst.  
• 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.  
• Set the burner control so that the flame  
heats only the bottom of the pan and does  
not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.  
Excessive flame is hazardous. The high BTU  
burners can easily melt cookware handles.  
• 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.  
• Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry pot  
holder, to prevent movement of the utensil  
when stirring or turning food.  
• 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 at the top and bottom  
of the oven door, in the front portion of the  
drip tray and at the bottom of the backguard.  
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
• Always use the LITE position when igniting  
the surface 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. If the burner flames are smothered  
by a severe boilover which affects the ignitor,  
unburned gas will escape into the room.

AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ  
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ  
• N’utilisez jamais d’eau sur les feux de graisse.  
Ne soulevez jamais une casserole en flammes.  
Mettez tous les boutons de réglage en position  
OFF (arrêt). Arrêtez les flammes d’une casserole  
placée sur un brûleur de surface en la recouvrant  
complètement d’un couvercle bien ajusté, d’une  
tôle à biscuits ou d’un plateau plat. Utilisez un  
extincteur d’incendie polyvalent à mousse ou à  
poudre.  
• Si vous sentez le gaz, c’est que l’installateur n’a  
pas bien vérifié les fuites. Il est possible que vous  
ayez une petite fuite et par conséquent une  
faible odeur de gaz si les raccords ne sont pas  
complètement étanches.  
Vous NE pouvez PAS localiser vous-même une  
fuite de gaz. On ne peut trouver certaines fuites  
qu’avec les boutons de contrôle des brûleurs en  
position ON (marche). Pour votre protection,  
c’est un technicien qualifié qui doit localiser toute  
fuite. N’essayez jamais de localiser une fuite à  
l’aide d’une flamme.  
Vous pouvez éteindre de la graisse en flamme sortie  
d’une casserole en la couvrant de bicarbonate de  
soude ou, si possible, en utilisant un extincteur  
d’incendie polyvalent à mousse ou à poudre.  
• Si, par hasard, un brûleur s’éteint et du gaz  
s’échappe, ouvrez une fenêtre ou une porte pour  
laisser sortir l’air de la pièce. N’essayez jamais  
d’utiliser votre appareil ménager avant que tout  
le gaz se soit dissipé. Suivez les instructions de la  
page 2 “Que faire si vous sentez le gaz.”  
Vous pouvez éteindre des flammes dans le four  
en fermant la porte du four et en mettant tous les  
boutons de réglage en position OFF (arrêt) ou  
en utilisant un extincteur d’incendie polyvalent  
à mousse ou à poudre.  
• NE RANGEZ JAMAIS OU N’UTILISEZ JAMAIS  
DE MATIÈRE COMBUSTIBLE, D’ESSENCE  
OU D’AUTRE VAPEUR OU LIQUIDE  
INFLAMMABLE À PROXIMITÉ DE CET  
APPAREIL OU DE TOUT AUTRE APPAREIL  
MÉNAGER.  
• N’utilisez jamais de papier d’aluminium pour  
recouvrir un élément du four ou de la table de  
cuisson. L’utilisation de papier d’aluminium peut  
occasionner un incendie ou un arrêt de la  
circulation d’air de combustion et de ventilation.  
Le papier d’aluminium est un excellent isolant de  
la chaleur et prend au piège toute la chaleur.  
Cette chaleur prise au piège peut gêner la cuisson  
et endommager le fini du four ou de la table de  
cuisson.  
• Ne laissez jamais de graisse de cuisson ou d’autre  
matière inflammable s’accumuler dans votre  
cuisinière ou à proximité de votre cuisinière.  
Nettoyez après chaque utilisation les égouttoirs  
et les revêtements intérieurs.  
CUISSON DE SURFACE  
• Ne réchauffez pas de contenants d’aliments  
fermés; une augmentation de pression peut faire  
exploser le contenant.  
Si les brûleurs sont éteints par un débordement  
important qui touche l’allumage, du gaz peut  
s’échapper dans la pièce.  
• Ajustez la taille de la flamme du brûleur de  
surface de manière à ce qu’elle ne dépasse pas le  
fond de la casserole. Une trop grande flamme est  
dangereuse. Les brûleurs forts peuvent facilement  
faire fondre les poignées de casserole.  
• Ne laissez jamais de poignée de casserole  
s’approcher des flammes quand vous soulevez une  
casserole. N’utilisez jamais de serviette ou de linge  
épais à la place d’une poignée de casserole.  
• Pour minimiser la possibilité de brûlures,  
d’ignition de matériel inflammable et de  
renversement, tournez les poignées de casserole  
vers le côté ou l’arrière de la cuisinière sans les  
laisser dépasser sur des brûleurs adjacents.  
Tenez la casserole par sa poignée, à l’aide d’un  
torchon sec, pour éviter tout mouvement de  
l’ustensile quand vous remuez ou touillez des  
aliments.  
• Réchauffez toujours doucement les matières  
grasses, et surveillez-les quand elles chauffent.  
• Ne bloquez jamais les évents (ouvertures  
d’aération) de votre cuisinière. Ils fournissent  
l’entrée et la sortie d’air nécessaires pour  
permettre à votre cuisinière de fonctionner avec  
une bonne combustion. Les ouvertures d’aération  
sont situées en haut et en bas de la porte du four,  
devant l’égouttoir et en bas du dosseret.  
• Utilisez toujours le réglage en position LITE  
(allumage) quand vous allumez les brûleurs de  
surface et assurez-vous que les brûleurs aient  
bien pris feu.  
• Ne laissez jamais vos brûleurs de surface sans  
surveillance à un réglage de flammes élevées.  
Les liquides bouillants causent des débordements  
fumants et graisseux qui peuvent prendre feu.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
SURFACE COOKING  
• Always turn the surface burners to OFF  
before removing cookware.  
• 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.  
• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high  
flame setting.  
• Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do  
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.  
• 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.  
• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool  
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting  
grease deposits collect in the grill or the  
griddle drip trays. Clean these areas after  
each use.  
• 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.  
• For proper lighting and performance of the  
cooktop burners, keep the burner ports  
clean. It may be necessary to clean these  
when there is a boilover or when the burner  
does not light, even though the electronic  
ignitors click.  
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond  
the smoking point.  
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially  
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.  
• After cleaning, it is important to make sure  
the cap and burner port are properly aligned  
with the burner base. Incorrect alignment  
will produce poor burner performance.  
Never operate the burner without all burner  
parts in place.  
• When using glass cookware, make sure it  
is designed for top-of-range cooking.  
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used  
in frying, stir together before heating or  
as fats melt slowly.  
• Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam  
burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth  
to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some  
cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied  
to a hot surface. Follow manufacturer’s  
directions.  
• 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.  
• Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are  
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware

spillovers and large enough to cover burner  
grate. This will both save cleaning time and  
prevent hazardous accumulations of food,  
since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the  
range can ignite. Use pans with handles that  
can be easily grasped and remain cool.  
• If range is located near a window, do not  
hang long curtains that could blow over the  
surface burners and create a fire hazard.  
• Be sure all the range and/or cooktop  
controls are turned off and the appliance is  
cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner  
or cooking spray on or around the appliance.  
The chemical that produces the spraying  
action could, in the presence of heat, ignite  
or cause metal parts to corrode.  
• Keep all plastics away from the top burners.  
• Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—  
they may melt if left too close to the vent.

les ustensiles de cuisine.  
• Ne laissez jamais d’article en matière plastique  
sur la table de cuisson. Il peut fondre s’il se  
trouve trop près de l’évent.  
• Surveillez bien les fritures d’aliments à réglage  
de flammes élevées.  
• Les aliments à frire doivent être aussi secs  
que possible. Le givre sur les aliments surgelés  
ou l’humidité sur les aliments frais peuvent  
occasionner un bouillonnement de matières  
grasses chaudes et un débordement de la  
casserole.  
• Pour éviter toute possibilité de brûlure,  
assurez-vous toujours que les contrôles de  
tous les brûleurs se trouvent en position OFF  
(arrêt) et que toutes les grilles soient froides  
avant d’essayer de les enlever.  
• Ne flambez pas les aliments sur la surface de  
cuisson. Si vous le faites sous la hotte, mettez  
le ventilateur en marche.  
• Utilisez le moins de matière grasse possible  
pour faire frire en friture profonde ou basse.  
Si vous mettez trop de matière grasse, cela peut  
occasionner des débordements si vous ajoutez  
des aliments.  
• La graisse est inflammable. Laissez refroidir les  
matières grasses chaudes avant d’essayer de les  
traiter. Évitez de laissez des dépôts de matière  
grasse s’accumuler dans le gril ou l’égouttoir.  
Nettoyez ces surfaces après chaque usage.  
• Utilisez autant que possible un thermomètre  
profond à matières grasses pour empêcher les  
matières grasses de surchauffer au-delà du point  
de fumée.  
• Pour bien allumer et faire fonctionner les  
brûleurs de la table de cuisson, conservez  
les orifices de brûleur propres. Vous devrez  
peut-être les nettoyer s’il y a un débordement  
ou si les brûleurs ne s’allument pas, même si les  
allumeurs électroniques cliquent.  
• N’essayez jamais de déplacer une casserole  
de matière grasse chaude, en particulier une  
friteuse à friture profonde. Attendez que la  
matière grasse soit refroidie.  
• Quand vous utilisez une casserole de verre,  
assurez-vous qu’elle soit conçue pour la cuisson  
sur table de cuisson.  
• Après les avoir nettoyés, vous devez bien aligner  
le capuchon et l’orifice du brûleur à la base du  
brûleur. Si vous ne les alignez pas bien, vous  
obtiendrez un mauvais rendement du brûleur.  
Ne faites jamais fonctionner un brûleur si toutes  
ses pièces ne sont pas bien placées.  
• Si vous utilisez une combinaison d’huiles ou de  
matières grasses pour vos fritures, mélangez  
bien avant de chauffer ou pendant que les  
matières grasses fondent doucement.  
• Faites attention quand vous nettoyez la table  
de cuisson. Évitez les brûlures dues à la vapeur.  
N’utilisez jamais d’éponge ou de linge mouillé  
pour nettoyer la table de cuisson quand elle est  
chaude. Certains détergents produisent des  
émanations délétères en contact d’une surface  
chaude. Suivez les instructions du fabricant.  
• Ne laissez aucun article sur la table de  
cuisson. L’air chaud en provenance de l’évent  
peut mettre feu à des articles inflammables et  
augmenter la pression dans des contenants  
fermés, qui peuvent exploser.  
• Utilisez toujours la bonne taille de casserole.  
Évitez les casseroles qui sont instables ou qui  
peuvent être facilement renversées. Choisissez  
des casseroles qui ont des fonds plats  
suffisamment grands pour couvrir la grille du  
brûleur. Pour éviter tout renversement, assurez-  
vous que la casserole soit suffisamment grande  
pour bien contenir toute la nourriture. Cela  
économise du temps de cuisson et empêche  
des accumulations dangereuses d’aliments,  
car des renversements ou des débordements  
importants sur votre cuisinière peuvent prendre  
feu. Utilisez des casseroles qui ont des poignées  
qui sont facilement saisies et restent froides.  
• N’utilisez jamais le gril pour cuire des aliments  
excessivement gras ou des produits qui  
favorisent la flambée.  
• Si la cuisinière est placée près d’une fenêtre,  
ne pendez pas de rideaux longs qui peuvent  
s’envoler sur les brûleurs de surface et  
prendre feu.  
• Assurez-vous que tous les boutons de réglage  
du four et/ou de la table de cuisson soient  
en position OFF (arrêt) et que votre appareil  
ménager soit froid pour utiliser un produit  
nettoyant en aérosol ou un aérosol de cuisine  
sur ou autour de l’appareil. Les produits qui  
vaporisent peuvent, en présence de chaleur,  
s’enflammer ou corroder les pièces métalliques.

Surface Cooking  
Stainless Steel Range  
Your surface burners are equipped with  
electronic ignition which eliminates the need  
for a standing pilot light.  
In case of a power outage, you can light the  
surface burners on your cooktop with a match.  
Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn  
the knob to the HIGH position. Use extreme  
caution when lighting burners this way.  
Electronic  
ignition &  
automatic  
reignition  
All igniters will spark and make clicking sounds  
when only one burner is being turned on.  
Do not touch any of the burners when igniters  
are clicking.  
The burners on this range will automatically  
relight if the flame goes out. All burners will  
spark while any one burner is relighting.  
Burners may spark if wind or a draft lifts the  
flame away from the flame sensor.  
Push the control knob down and turn it  
counterclockwise to the LITE position.  
To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise,  
as far as it will go, to the OFF position.  
To light  
a burner  
• All of the burners can be used for both  
general cooking and simmering.  
ER  
LITE  
• 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.  
• For your convenience, the indicator lamp  
in the bezel for each knob verifies the burner  
is “ON”.  
• Be sure you turn the control knob to “OFF”  
when you finish cooking.  
After the burner ignites, turn the knob in either  
direction to adjust the flame size.  
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you increase  
or reduce heat.  
How to  
select  
flame size  
The flame size on a gas burner should match  
the cookware you are using.  
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE,  
NEVER LET THE FLAME 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.  
NOTE: Use 10or larger diameter cookware  
when using heat settings between HI and  
X-HI.

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 for cooking with minimum  
amounts of water.  
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 cooktops.  
Cookware  
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 generally work satisfactorily  
if they are used at medium heat as the  
manufacturer recommends.  
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 surface  
cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots).  
Glass conductors heat very slowly.  
All burner grates are designed to support  
wok cooking. For easy access and additional  
clearances to combustibles, we suggest using  
a front burner for wok cooking.  
Wok  
cooking  
Lift out one burner grate at the front. Turn  
it over and replace in the grate frame. The  
wok side is contoured to support a wok with  
a round or bowl shaped bottom. This design  
eliminates the need for a wok ring and will  
accommodate most woks.  
Check to be sure that your wok fits securely  
and is stable when placed on the wok grate.  
CAUTION: Good wok stability is best achieved  
by using round-bottom woks. Flat-bottom woks  
are not recommended. Avoid using woks with  
extremely smooth, untextured, bottom surface  
finishes as these may allow undesired rocking  
of the wok in the grate cradle.  
ATTENTION : Pour obtenir une bonne  
stabilité de travail, il vaut mieux utiliser des  
woks à fond rond. Les woks à fond plat ne sont  
pas recommandés. Évitez d’utiliser des woks  
dont le fond a une surface extrêmement lisse,  
sans texture, car il peuvent occasionner un  
balancement imprévu du wok dans le trou  
de la grille.

Occasionally grease drippings ignite. These  
drippings will create minor puffs of flame for  
a second or two. This is normal when cooking  
on a barbecue. You may find it handy to have  
a spray bottle filled with water to lightly spray  
the flare-up.  
To prevent flare-ups from happening, trim the  
fat from around the edges of steaks and chops,  
use hamburger that is lean, remove the fat  
from poultry, etc.  
Excessive  
grill  
flare-ups  
and  
flaming  
When turning any kind of meat or poultry,  
the melting fat will drop onto the grill radiant  
and may create a flare-up. If this happens,  
use a long-handled spatula to move the food  
to another area.  
If the flame becomes excessive, remove the  
food from the grill. Lower the heat setting.  
Replace the food when the flare-up subsides.  
Gourmet Radiant Tray  
Flare ups are minimized because a Gourmet  
RadiantTray, below the grille grate, directs  
grease down to the drip pan before it begins  
to burn.  
The two-piece cast stainless steel grill grates are  
reversible. Place the side with the two grooved  
tabs toward the back of the cooktop.  
Grill grates  
(on some models)  
The grate will change color when subjected  
to the heat, and as oils cook onto the surface.  
This is normal and does not affect the cooking  
performance.  
For best results, the grate should be seasoned  
before the first use. Seasoning will insure a  
stick-resistant cooking surface. If the grill has  
not been used for a period of time, it should  
be reseasoned.  
To season the grill grate:  
1 Clean the grate thoroughly with hot, soapy  
water to remove any manufacturing oils, etc.  
Side A  
Side B  
2 Rinse with a mixture of 2 cups water and  
1/2 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.  
The other side of the grate (side B) is designed  
for delicate foods that need more support  
while cooking, such as fish.  
3 Using a heavy cloth, rub vegetable oil over  
the entire surface of the rack. Do not use  
corn oil, as it can get sticky.  
Food cooked on this side achieves the same  
flavor as food cooked on an outdoor grill. The  
intense heat from the grill radiant caramelizes  
the fats and juices that are brought to the  
surface of the food, giving it the barbecued  
flavor.  
4 Place grate into the grill housing. Turn the  
burner on to a medium setting. Turn the  
burner off when the oil begins to smoke.  
Allow grates to cool.  
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4.  
This gas grill may cook slightly faster than you  
are used to.  
The grill is now ready for use.  
One side of the grates (side A) is ridged and  
should be used for foods where you want the  
fat to run off, such as steak or hamburger  
patties. The ridges are sloped so the fat runs  
toward the front of the grill, into a drain hole  
and down to a drip tray below.

LITE  
Before starting to cook on the grill, be sure the  
drip tray and liners are in place and that you  
have the grill racks turned to the side you want  
for cooking.  
(on some models)  
Preheat the grill for 15 minutes with the  
control knob set on HI.  
NOTE: The longer you preheat the grill, the  
darker the grill marks will be on your food.  
During cooking it may be necessary to adjust  
the heat setting. The control knob may be set  
to any position between HI and LO.  
NOTE: The grill will take approximately  
45 seconds to ignite. Unlike the surface  
burners, which use electric igniters, the  
grill uses a glow bar for ignition. It takes  
approximately 45 seconds for the glow bar to  
reach temperature. Gas is only supplied to the  
grill once the glow bar reaches temperature.  
For proper searing and browning the grill  
requires high heat.  
With large pieces of meat or poultry you will  
need to turn the heat to a lower heat setting  
after the food has been seared. This lower heat  
setting will allow the food to cook through  
without burning the outside.  
Marinades and barbecue sauce should be  
added toward the end of cooking time. The  
heat should be turned to low when sauces are  
added.  
Do not leave the grill unattended while it is on.  
When you are finished cooking, allow the grill  
and the drip trays to cool before cleaning them.  
They should be cleaned each time they are used.  
Replace the grill cover.  
Models equipped with a grill have a Gourmet  
Radiant Tray which distributes the heat from  
the burners evenly across the grill area.

• When turning the meat over, always use  
a spatula as it will not puncture the meat  
allowing the juices to run out. This will help  
to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only  
once, as juices are lost when the meat is  
repeatedly turned. Season or salt the meat  
after it has been cooked.  
• The doneness of meat is affected by the  
thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook  
a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness.  
A steak should be at least 1thick to have it  
turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time  
is affected by the temperature of the meat  
when you start to cook it, the size and shape  
of the cut and the kind of meat you are  
cooking. The degree of doneness desired  
also affects the time.  
Grilling  
hints  
• Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat  
or poultry. To prevent steaks or chops from  
curling while they are being cooked, slit the  
fat around the edges at about 2intervals.  
To test for doneness, make a small cut in the  
center of the meat.  
• The U. S. Department of Agriculture says,  
“Rare beef is popular, but you should know  
that cooking it to only 140°F means some  
food poisoning organisms may survive.”

To avoid possible burns, place the oven racks  
in the correct position before you turn the  
oven on.  
The rack stop-lock prevents the  
rack from tilting or being pulled  
out of the oven.  
Oven racks  
The correct rack position depends on the kind  
of food and the browning desired.  
The oven racks have stop-locks, 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 to the bump on the rack support.  
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish  
on the pan determines the amount of  
browning that will occur.  
• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect  
heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate  
browning. Cakes and cookies require this  
type of pan or sheet.

• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat  
resulting in a browner, crisper crust.  
Use this type for pies.  
Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When  
baking in glass baking dishes, the temperature

For even cooking and proper browning, there

In a convection oven, a fan circulates the

temperatures and in less time.  
• Preheating is not necessary for foods with  
a bake time over 15 minutes.  
• Food is heated faster in a convection oven.  
When using the convection feature, many  
types of food can be cooked at lower  
temperatures than those suggested for  
regular ovens.  
• Good for large quantities of baked foods.  
• Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,  
cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and  
bread.  
• Ideal for baked foods cooked on two or three  
shelves. Because heated air is circulated  
evenly throughout the oven, foods can be  
baked with excellent results on two or three  
racks at the same time. Multi-rack baking may  
increase cook times slightly for some foods,  
but the overall result is time saved. Multi-rack  
baking provides very good results with  
cookies, biscuits and other quickbreads.  
• Recipe books often give times and  
temperatures for cooking in traditional  
thermal ovens. Convection ovens make it  
possible to reduce the temperature by 25°F.  
• Check foods for doneness at the minimum  
suggested cooking time.  
Some package instructions for frozen  
casseroles or main dishes have been  
developed using commercial convection  
ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat  
the oven and use the temperature on the

Before using your convection oven, check  
to see if your cookware leaves room for air  
circulation in the oven. If you are baking with  
several pans, leave space between them. Also,  
be sure the pans do not touch each other or  
the walls of the oven. Use the pan size  
recommended in the recipe.  
Metal and Glass  
Convection  
cookware  
Any type of cookware will work in your  
convection oven. However, metal pans heat  
the fastest and are recommended for  
convection baking.  
• Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake  
faster than shiny pans.  
When baking cookies, you will get the best  
results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead  
of a pan with low sides.  
• Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.  
Paper and Plastic  
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that  
are recommended for use in regular ovens can  
be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware  
that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F  
can also be used.  
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you should  
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate  
well around food in a pan with high sides.

Self-Cleaning 27Oven  
Stainless Steel Range  
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.  
NOTE: When the 27oven is set for self-  
cleaning, only the surface burners may be  
used. The 12oven, the griddle and/or the  
grill cannot be used.  
Before a  
clean cycle  
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend  
venting your kitchen with an open window or  
using a ventilation fan or hood.  
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.  
Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all  
cookware, probe and any aluminum foil from  
the oven—they cannot withstand the high  
cleaning temperatures.  
NOTE: Your oven is equipped with gray  
porcelain-coated oven shelves. They may be  
left in the oven during the self-clean cycle.  
Soil outside the gasket on the front frame of  
the range and on the door will need to be  
cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot  
water, soap-filled scouring pads or cleansers  
such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean  
water and dry.  
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.  
The clean cycle takes about 5 hours plus about  
30 minutes to cool down.

If white spots remain, remove them with  
warm sudsy water and rinse thoroughly with  
a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits  
are usually a salt residue that cannot be  
removed by the clean cycle.  
You may notice some white ash in the oven.  
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven  
cools.  
After a  
clean cycle  
If the shelves become hard to slide, apply a  
small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to  
a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven  
shelves and racks with the paper towel.  
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,  
repeat the cycle.  
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish  
on the inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides,  
back and inside of the door—will stay new-  
looking for years.

Let the range cool before cleaning.  
We recommend that you wear rubber gloves  
when cleaning the range.  
• Ne permettez jamais à une pellicule de produit  
à nettoyer de se former sur le thermocontact.  
Cela peut occasionner une mauvaise  
température du four (le thermocontact est  
situé à gauche du four). Essuyez soigneusement  
le thermocontact après chaque nettoyage de  
four, en prenant soin de ne pas le déplacer car  
tout changement de position peut changer la  
température de cuisson du four.  
Soap and water will normally do the job.  
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require  
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy,  
wet metal pads may also be used. Do not allow  
food spills with a high sugar or acid content  
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices  
or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They  
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.  
Household ammonia may make the cleaning  
job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or  
pottery container in a cold oven overnight.  
The ammonia fumes will help loosen the  
burned-on grease and food.  
• Ne pulvérisez aucun produit de nettoyage  
sur la porte du four, les poignées ou toute  
surface extérieure du four, les surfaces  
peintes ou la carrosserie de la cuisinière.  
Le produit de nettoyage peut endommager  
ces surfaces.  
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.  
Follow the package directions.  
• Vous pouvez placer les clayettes de four  
émaillées dans le four de 27pendant l’auto

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:  
• Do not spray on the electrical controls and  
switches because it could cause a short circuit  
and result in sparking or fire.  
• Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build  
up on the temperature sensor—it could cause  
the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is  
located on the left-hand side of the oven.)  
Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each  
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the  
sensor as a change in its position could affect  
how the oven bakes.  
• Do not spray any oven cleaner on the  
oven door, handles or any exterior surface  
of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces.  
The cleaner can damage these surfaces.  
• Porcelain-coated oven racks may be placed  
in the 27oven during self-clean.

Although they are durable, the grates 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.

Care and Cleaning  
Stainless Steel Range  
Located beneath the cooktop you will find  
a drip tray and liner(s). The drip trays and  
liners are made of stainless steel. The drip trays  
are on rollers so they are easy to remove and  
replace.  
Drip trays,  
drip tray  
liners and  
drain tubes  
(on some models)  
Drain tubes  
To remove the drip tray liner, pull the drip tray  
forward. If something has spilled into the tray,  
it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to  
prevent “baked on” food soil.  
Drip tray  
and liner  
Grease from the griddle or the grill drains  
through the drain tubes into the tray and  
into the liner below.  
Do not allow the grease to accumulate in the  
drip tray or liner as it can be a fire hazard.  
Clean the drip tray and liner as soon as they  
are cool. Clean with hot soapy water.  
To remove the drip tray, pull it forward to stop,  
push in on the release tabs located on each  
side of the tray and continue to pull forward.  
To clean the drain tube use a soapy bottle  
®
brush. A mild abrasive cleaner such as Bon-Ami  
®
or Soft Scrub can be used. For stubborn stains,  
use a soap-filled scouring pad or a harsh  
®
®
abrasive cleaner such as Comet or Ajax,  
rubbing lightly. Rinse all parts thoroughly.

Care and Cleaning  
Stainless Steel Range  
Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and  
food particles, using a square-edged spatula,  
while it is still hot.  
Griddle  
(on some models)  
Wipe the griddle with a dry, heavy, coarse cloth  
to remove any remaining residue and food  
particles.  
If desired, wash with hot soapy water, rinse  
and dry.  
Once the griddle has cooled, rub the surface  
lightly with vegetable oil. Do not use corn oil  
or cooking sprays as they get sticky.  
If the griddle is cleaned with anything other  
than a dry, heavy, coarse cloth, it will need to  
be reseasoned.  
Never flood the hot griddle with cold water.  
This could cause the griddle to crack or warp.

Care and Cleaning  
Stainless Steel Range  
Clean the grill immediately after cooking.  
Turn off the burner. To protect your hand  
from steam and heat, wear a barbecue mitt.  
Scrub the grill with a brass bristle barbecue  
brush, frequently rinsing in a bowl of water.  
Grill  
(on some models)  
The steam created softens the food particles  
and assists the cleaning process. The food  
particles will drop into the liner and drip tray.  
Be sure to clean the drain tube, drip tray and  
liner after they have cooled.  
Clean the Gourmet RadiantTray with hot  
soapy water. Rinse and dry.  
The backguards and shelf are made of  
stainless steel.  
For hard to clean soil use a standard stainless  
steel cleaner such as Bon-Ami®, Cameo® or  
Bar Keepers Friend®. Apply cleaner with a  
damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Always  
scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.  
Backguards  
and shelf  
Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch  
the surface.  
Clean with hot soapy water. Rinse and dry.  
After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish such  
as Stainless Steel Magic®.  
If the panel and shelf have food soil  
remaining, try a general kitchen cleaner, such  
as Fantastik®, Simple Green® or Formula 409®.  
The oven door is removable for easier access  
to the light bulb and cleaning.
