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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
I Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
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,
warming 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 warming drawer, lower oven drawer or
kick panel.

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.
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.
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 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.
burners.
I Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
I 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.
I If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and create a fire hazard.
I 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.
flame setting.
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 Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
I Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation
of the range.
I 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.

I Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
I Use only glass cookware that is
recommended for use in gas ovens.
I Place the oven shelves in the desired
position while the oven is cool.
I Always remove the broiler pan from range as
soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the
pan can catch fire if oven is used without
removing the grease from the broiler pan.
I Pulling out the shelf 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. The
lowest position is not designed to slide.
I When broiling, if meat is too close to the
flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to
prevent excessive flare-ups.
I Do not heat unopened food containers.

Using the gas surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
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
properly placed before using any burner.
I Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials on
them.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are
placed in their respective positions.
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.
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.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to the LITE position.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue
to click.
Sealed Gas Burners
Medium
Small
Your gas range cooktop has five sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience,
cleanability and flexibility to be used in
a wide range of cooking applications.
The extra large burner (right front) is the
maximum output burner. Like the other
four burners, it can be turned down
from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking
applications; however, this burner is
designed to quickly bring large amounts of
liquid to a boil. It has a special POWER BOIL™
setting designed to be used with cookware
10 inches or larger in diameter.
The smallest burner in the right rear
position is the simmer burner. This burner
can be turned down to LO for a very low
simmer setting. It provides precise cooking
performance for delicate foods such as
sauces or foods that require low heat for a
long cooking time.
Extra Large
Large
The center oval burner is the largest in
size and is for large oval pots/pans, round
pots/pans 10” or greater in diameter or
with the griddle.
The medium (left rear) and the large
(left front) burners are the primary burners
for most cooking. These general-purpose
burners can be turned down from HI to LO
to suit a wide range of cooking needs.
Extra-large burners only
How to Select Flame Size
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating of
the cookware and could be hazardous.
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames
extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat. When fast heating is desired,
the flame size on a gas burner should
match the cookware you are using.

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.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer’s
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.
recommendations for cooking methods.
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
flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits
flat on the grate. They are available at your local
retail store.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.

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.
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
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
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.
Upper Oven Light
Touch the OVEN LIGHT pad on the upper
control panel to turn the light on or off.
On some models, the OVEN LIGHT switch is
on the lower front control panel.
