WARNING!  
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.  
OpeagIructions  
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.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.  
I 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.  
I 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,  
laIructions  
I 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
I Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path  
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor  
air circulation.  
I 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.  
SafeyIructions  
I Be sure all packaging materials are  
removed from the range before operating it  
to prevent fire or smoke damage should the  
packaging material ignite.  
I Do not store flammable materials in an  
oven, a range drawer or near a cooktop.  
I 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 of  
the range section.  
I Do not store or use combustible materials,  
gasoline or other flammable vapors and  
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other  
appliance.  
I Do not let cooking grease or other flammable  
materials accumulate in or near the range.  
I
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.  
I 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.  
OpeagIructions  
I 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.  
I 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.  
I Flame in the upper oven or lower oven  
drawer can be smothered completely by  
closing the oven door or drawer and turning  
the control to off or by using a multi-  
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire  
extinguisher.  
laIructions  
I Do not leave children alone or unattended  
where a range is hot or in operation.  
They could be seriously burned.  
ips  
I Let the burner grates and other surfaces  
cool before touching them or leaving them  
where children can reach them.  
I Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or  
hang on the oven door, lower oven drawer  
or cooktop. They could damage the range  
and even tip it over, causing severe personal  
injury.  
I 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 rear of the  
cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven  
door, and at the bottom of the range under  
the lower oven drawer.

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.  
OpeagIructions  
I Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you  
do flame foods under the hood, turn the  
fan on.  
I Always use the LITE position when igniting  
the top burners and make sure the burners  
have ignited.  
I 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.  
I 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.  
I Never leave the surface burners unattended  
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking  
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.  
I Adjust the top burner flame size so it  
does not extend beyond the edge of the  
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.  
I 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.  
laIructions  
I When using glass cookware, make sure it  
is designed for top-of-range cooking.  
I Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially  
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.  
I Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—  
they may melt if left too close to the vent.  
I Keep all plastics away from the surface

I Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
I 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.  
I If a combination of oils or fats will be used  
in frying, stir together before heating or  
as fats melt slowly.  
I Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond  
the smoking point.

I Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop  
can lead to damage and improper operation  
of the range.  
I When disabling Gas/Control Lockout, make  
sure the surface controls are set to the OFF  
position. This will preclude gas flow when the

Before Lighting a Gas Burner  
After Lighting a Gas Burner  
I Make sure all burners are in place.  
I 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.  
I Make sure all grates on the range are

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.  
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.  
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will  
give satisfactory results.  
OpeagIructions  
Enamelware: Under some conditions,  
the enamel of some cookware may melt.

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  
Do not use a wok 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.  
We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.  
Before you begin…  
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when  
placed correctly on the shelf supports (A  
through E), they will stop before coming  
completely out, and will not tilt.  
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the  
front end up and pull it out.  
To replace, place the end of the shelf (stop-  
locks) on the support, tilt up the front and  
push the shelf in.  
SafeyIructions  
When placing and removing cookware,  
pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf  
support.  
NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out at the  
special low shelf (R) position.  
The oven has 5 shelf positions.  
It also has a special low shelf  
position (R) for extra large items,  
such as a large turkey.  
Upper Oven Vent  
Your oven is vented through ducts at the  
rear of the range. Do not block these ducts  
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.  
IHandles of pots and pans on the cooktop may

become hot if left too close to the vent.  
IDo not leave plastic or flammable items on the  
cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left too close  
to the vent.  
IDo not leave closed containers on the cooktop.  
The pressure in closed containers may increase,  
which may cause them to burst.  
Plastic items on the cooktop may  
melt if left too close to the vent.  
Vent appearance and location vary.  
IMetal items will become very hot if they are left  
on the cooktop, and could cause burns.  
Power Outage  
laIructions  
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.  
CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the

Preheating and Pan Placement  
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.  
To preheat, set the oven at the correct  
temperature. Preheating is necessary  
when convection baking and for good  
results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry  
and breads.  
Baking results will be better if baking pans  
are centered in the oven as much as  
possible. Pans should not touch each other  
or the walls of the oven. If you need to use  
two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not  
directly above the other, and leave  
approximately 112between pans, from  
the front, back and sides of the wall.  
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,  
preheat 7 minutes.

Aluminum Foil  
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of  
the oven.  
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch  
a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf  
several inches below the food.

To help you understand the difference  
between convection bake and roast and  
traditional bake and roast, here are some  
general guidelines.  
Roasts or poultry should be cooked on shelf  
position (A).  
When you are convection roasting, it is  
important that you use a broiler pan and  
grid for best convection roasting results.  
The pan is used to catch grease spills  
and the grid is used to prevent grease

they were cooked on a rotisserie. Heated

Cookware for Convection Cooking  
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.  
Metal and Glass  
Any type of cookware will work in your  
convection oven. However, metal pans heat  
the fastest and are recommended for  
convection baking.  
SafeyIructions  
IDarkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster  
than shiny pans.  
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,  
when oven is below 400°F.  
IGlass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.  
When baking cookies, you will get the best  
results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead  
of a pan with low sides.  
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,  
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot  
circulate well around food in a pan with  
high sides.

place one shelf in the 2nd (A) position, one  
on the 4th (C) position and the third shelf  
in the 6th (E) position.  
Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times  
slightly for some foods but the overall result  
is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and  
other quick breads give very good results  
with multi-shelf baking.  
When baking cookies, place the shelves in  
the 3rd (B), 4th (C) and 6th (E) positions.  
When convection baking with only  
1 shelf, follow the shelf positions  
recommended in the Using the  
Oven section.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Convection Roasting when Using the Probe  
The display will flash PROBE and the oven  
control will signal if the probe is inserted  
into the outlet, and you have not set  
a probe temperature and touched the  
START pad.  
CAUTION: To prevent possible burns, do not unplug  
the probe from the oven outlet until the oven has  
cooled. Do not store the probe in the oven.  
For best results when roasting large  
turkeys and roasts, we recommend  
using the probe included in the  
convection oven.  
NOTE:  
I If the probe is removed from the food before the  
final temperature is reached, a tone will sound  
and the display will flash until the probe is  
removed from the oven.  
Place the shelf in the shelf position  
(A). Insert the probe completely  
into the food.  
OpeagIructions  
Plug the probe into the outlet in the  
oven. Make sure it is pushed all the  
way in. Close the oven door.  
I You will hear a fan while cooking with this  
feature. The fan will stop when the door is  
opened but the heat will not turn off.  
Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad.  
I You can use the timer even though you cannot  
use timed oven operations while using the probe.  
Touch the number pads to set the  
desired oven temperature.  
Touch the PROBE pad.  
Touch the number pads to set the  
desired internal food temperature.  
laIructions  
To change the oven temperature during  
the Convection Roast cycle, touch the  
CONVECTION ROAST pad and then touch  
the number pads to set the new desired  
temperature.  
Touch the START pad.  
When the oven starts to heat, the word  
LO will be in the display.

reaches 100°F, the changing internal  
temperature will be shown in the display.

ubleshotingT  
When the internal temperature of the  
food reaches the number you have  
set, the probe and the oven turn off  
and the oven control signals. To stop  
the signal, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.  
Use hot pads to remove the probe  
from the food. Do not use tongs to  
pull on it—they might damage it.

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.  
laIructions  
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.  
ips  
Federal standards require products labeled margarineto 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.

Cooktop Surface  
To avoid damaging the stainless steel  
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it  
from becoming dull, clean up spills right  
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,  
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with  
high sugar content could cause a dull spot  
if allowed to set.  
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in  
an oven, drawer or near the cooktop. Do not  
store or use combustible materials, gasoline or  
other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity  
of this or any other appliance.  
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop  
can lead to damage and improper operation of the  
range.  
When the surface has cooled, wash and  
rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings,  
etc., wash with soap and water once the  
surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish  
with a dry cloth.

Lift-Off Oven Door  
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may  
need help removing and replacing the door.  
I The area outside the gasket can be  
cleaned with a soap-filled plastic  
scouring pad.  
To remove the door, open it a few inches to  
the special stop position that will hold the  
door open. Grasp firmly on each side and  
lift the door straight up and off the hinges.  
To clean the outside of the door:  
I Use soap and water to thoroughly clean  
the top, sides and front of the oven door.  
Rinse well. You may also use a glass  
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside  
of the door.  
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the  
hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could  
snap back and pinch fingers.  
OpeagIructions  
To replace the door, make sure the hinges  
are in the special stop position. Position the  
slots in the bottom of the door squarely  
over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly  
and evenly over both hinges at the same  
time. If the hinges snap back against the  
oven frame, pull them back out.  
Lift the door straight up and off the  
hinges.

sauces and basting materials containing  
acids may cause discoloration and should

powders or harsh abrasives on the  
outside of the door.  
To clean the inside of the door:  
I Do not allow excess water to run into  
any holes or slots in the door.  
The gasket is designed with a gap at  
the bottom to allow for proper air  
circulation.  
laIructions  
I Because the area inside the gasket is  
cleaned during the self clean cycle, you  
do not need to clean this by hand. Any  
soap left on the liner causes additional  
stains when the oven is heated.  
Do not rub or clean the door  
gasket—it has an extremely low  
resistance to abrasion.  
If you notice the gasket becoming  
worn, frayed or damaged in any way  
or if it has become displaced on the  
door, you should have it replaced.  
Oven Bottom  
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel  
finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the  
oven bottom from excessive spillovers by  
placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below  
the shelf you are cooking on. This is  
particularly important when baking a fruit  
pie or other foods with a high acid content.  
Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are  
highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut  
and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice)  
may cause pitting and damage to the  
porcelain enamel surface and should be  
wiped up immediately.  
We dont recommend using aluminum foil  
on the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if  
the holes are blocked and it can concentrate  
heat at the bottom of the oven, resulting in  
poor baking performance.

Installation Instructions  
WARNING!  
ANTI-TIP DEVICE  
LOCATION  
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to  
strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind  
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings  
around the base of the range that supply fresh air for  
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by  
carpeting or woodwork.  
All ranges can tip and injury could  
result.  
To prevent accidental tipping of the range,  
attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the  
wall. (See Installing the Anti-Tip Device in  
this section.) 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.  
Your range, like many other household items, is  
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as  
cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving  
the range on this type of flooring. It is recommended  
that the following simple and inexpensive instructions  
be followed to protect your floor.  
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood  
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at  
the front of the range, the area that the range will rest  
on should be built up with plywood to the same level  
or higher than the floor covering.  
If you pull the range out from the wall for  
any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device  
is engaged when you push the range back  
against the wall.  
I For your safety, never use your range for warming  
or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are  
not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners  
should not be operated without cookware on the  
grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage  
to your range and will void your warranty.  
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning  
or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will  
withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions  
section.)  
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can  
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the  
range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)  
I Do not store or use combustible materials,  
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids  
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.  
Explosions or fires could result.  
I Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in  
IMPORTANT!  
the oven can ignite.  
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the  
burners are properly seated and level.  
I Do not let cooking grease or other flammable  
materials accumulate in or near the range.  
Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or  
drawer.  
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose  
during shipping.

PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS  
SUPPLY  
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS  
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting  
the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has  
been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on  
other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.  
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5of  
water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas  
(propane or butane), 10 of water column.  
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,  
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal  
appliance connector is recommended unless local  
codes require a hard-piped connection.  
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type  
of gas for which it is designed.  
This range is convertible for use on natural or  
propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas,  
conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer  
before attempting to operate the range on that gas.  
Never use an old connector when installing a new  
range. If the hard piping method is used, you must  
carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved  
after the connection is made.  
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas  
supplied to the regulator must be between 5and 13″  
of water column.  
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or  
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male  
(external) pipe threads.  
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10″  
and 13of water column.  
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line  
in an easily accessed location outside of the range.  
Make sure everyone operating the range knows  
where and how to shut off the gas supply to the  
range.  
When checking for proper operation of the regulator,  
the inlet pressure must be at least 1greater than the  
operating (manifold) pressure as given above.  
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range  
manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of  
whether natural or LP gas is being used.  
B. Install male 1/2flare union adapter to the 1/2″  
NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a  
backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid  
damage.  
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect  
the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of  
1/2and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In  
Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal  
connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.  
When installing the range from the front, remove  
the 90° elbow for easier installation.  
C. Install male 1/2or 3/4flare union adapter to the  
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve,  
taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it  
from turning.  
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the  
adapter on the range. Position range to permit  
connection at the shut-off valve.  
E. When all connections have been made, make sure  
all range controls are in the off position and turn on  
the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector  
at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the  
system.  
WARNING: DO NOT USE A  
FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.  
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to  
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,  
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from  
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2  
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate  
the range from the gas supply system by closing the  
individual shut-off valve.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)  
Electrical Requirements  
A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will  
be Disconnected Infrequently.  
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit  
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or  
time delay fuse.  
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit.  
Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where  
local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION  
may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall  
receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available  
at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter  
must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall  
receptacle to provide proper polarity in the  
Extension Cord Cautions  
Because of potential safety hazards associated  
with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against  
the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect  
to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that  
it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance  
extension cord and that the current carrying rating of  
the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than,  
the circuit rating.  
connection of the power cord.  
Temporary Method  
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)  
Grounding  
Align large prongs/slots  
IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)  
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST  
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.  
Ensure proper  
ground and firm  
connection before  
use  
Preferred Method  
Ensure proper ground  
exists before use  
CAUTION:  
Attaching the adapter  
ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover  
screw does not ground the appliance unless  
the cover screw is metal, and not insulated,  
and the wall receptacle is grounded through  
the house wiring. The customer should have  
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician  
to make sure the receptacle is properly  
grounded.  
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a  
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a  
standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to  
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from  
this appliance.  
The customer should have the wall receptacle and  
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure  
the receptacle is properly grounded.  
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,  
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not  
done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to  
break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO  
NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground  
has again been established.  
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is  
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and  
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a  
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.  
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,  
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG  
FROM THE POWER CORD.  
A word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required or  
recommended for gas range receptacles.  
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are  
devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and  
automatically switch off power when a threshold  
leakage level is detected. These devices must be  
manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical  
Code requires the use of GFCIs in kitchen receptacles  
installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of  
the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI-  
protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of  
the GFCI breaker is possible.

maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the display.  
Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be  
checked after the range and gas supply lines have been  
carefully checked for leaks.  
Electric Ignition Models  
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push  
in and turn to LITE position. You will hear a clicking  
sound indicating proper operation of the spark  
module. Once the air has been purged from the  
supply lines, burners should light within 4 seconds.  
After burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE  
position. Try each burner in succession until all  
burners have been checked.  
To check ignition of the broil burner, touch the BROIL  
HI/LO pad and then the START pad. After 3090 seconds,
