WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
All ranges can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall or floor by installing the Anti-Tip device
supplied.
If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip
device WB2X7909.
To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage drawer and inspect the
rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.
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. 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 device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution
could result in tipping of the range and injury.
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.
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
I Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance from your
range.
I Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range storage drawer or near a
cooktop.
I Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
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 clean the range with flammable or
volatile cleaning fluids.
I Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.
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 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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 the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers

I When preparing flaming foods under the
hood, turn the fan on.
I Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
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

monoxide level above that allowed by current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
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 Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
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.
WARNING!
OVEN
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
I Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.

Using the gas surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it to
the LITE position.
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.
You will hear a little clicking noise—
the sound of the electric spark igniting
the burner.
After the flame lights, turn the knob to
adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at
LITE, it will continue to click.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to the LITE position.
Sealed Gas Burners
The smaller burner (right rear position)
will give the best simmer results for
delicate foods, such as sauces or foods
which need to cook over low heat for a
long time. It can be turned down to a very
low setting.
The largest burners are higher powered
than the others and will bring liquids to
a boil quicker.
How to Select Flame Size
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to heat
the handle.
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. The flame size on a gas
burner should match the cookware
you are using.
In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light
the gas surface burners on your range
with a match. Hold a lit match to the
burner, then push in and turn the control
knob to the LITE position. Use extreme
caution when lighting burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to
operate normally.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
After Lighting a Gas Burner

extended period of time without
cookware on the grate. The finish on
the grate may chip without cookware
to absorb the heat.

cool before you place your hand,
a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other materials on them.

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.
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
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.
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 top-of-range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots).
Glass conducts heat very slowly.
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
We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller
flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your
local retail store. Make sure the wok bottom
sits flat on the grate.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Do not use a round-bottomed wok on a
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.

broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If you
do not cut the slits, you are essentially
frying, not broiling.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to
heat up.
Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through the rear vent
located through the cooktop under the
vent grille. Do not block this vent 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 items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
IDo 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.
IMetal items will become very hot if they are
left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible burns, place the
racks in the desired position before you turn the
oven on.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
over-browning them.
Always use the broiler pan and
grid that came with your oven. It
is designed to minimize smoking
and spattering by trapping juices
in the shielded lower part of the
pan.
Place the meat or fish on the broiler
grid in the broiler pan.
Touch the START/ON pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
Follow suggested rack positions in
the Broiling Guide.
Serve the food immediately, and leave the
pan outside the oven to cool during the
meal for easiest cleaning.
The oven door must be closed
during broiling.
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for
HI Broil.
To change to LO Broil, touch the
BROIL HI/LO pad again.

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.
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.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to 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.

Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip
device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive left from packaging tape and
cooktop labels on new appliances is an
application of a household liquid dishwashing
detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish
to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts.
It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Control Knobs
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a
vinegar and hot water solution but do not
soak.
The knobs can also be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning,
please note that the knobs are in the OFF
position. When replacing the knobs, check
the OFF position to insure proper placement.
Burner Assembly
The burner assemblies should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
To reassemble the surface burners:
Place burner heads over the electrodes
on the cooktop, in the correct locations
according to their size.
Turn all controls off before removing burner parts.
The burner grates, burner heads and burner
caps can be removed for easy cleaning.

abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, if
needed. Dry them with a cloth—don’t
put them back on the cooktop wet.
Rubber Grate Feet
For stability, your cooktop has rubber
feet on the burner grates. If any of these
rubber feet should become damaged or
lost, replace them immediately.
Although they’re durable, the grates,
vent grille and vent grille cap will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of
the best care you can give them. This is
due to their continual exposure to high
temperatures.

To clean the inside of the door:
I Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you
do not need to clean this by hand.
I If any stain on the door vent trim is
persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner
and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
I The area outside the gasket and
the door liner can be cleaned with a
soap-filled or plastic scouring pad,
hot water and detergent. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution.
The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

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
