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

of flammable materials and spillage, turn  
cookware handles toward the side or back  
of the range without extending over

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.

the WARM ZONE setting of the lower oven  
drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at  
serving temperature. Always start with hot  
food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked  
in the warming drawer or the WARM ZONE  
setting of the lower oven drawer.  
I Do not touch the heating element or the  
interior surface of the drawer. These  
surfaces may be hot enough to burn.  
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the  
drawer may be hot when the drawer  
is opened.  
I Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers. If

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.  
In Case of Power Failure  
In case of a power failure, you can light the  
gas surface burners on your range with a

Using the upper oven.

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.  
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.
