IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
When You Get Your Range
• 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.
• Have the installer show you the location of the
range gas cut-off valve and how to shut it off
if necessary.
• 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.
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.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
• 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, three-prong outlet in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. In Canada, the
appliance must be electrically grounded in
accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
• Fluorescent light bulbs and safety valves on
standing pilot ranges contain mercury. If your
model has these features, they must be recycled
according to local, state and federal codes.
• Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent pilot
outage (on standing pilot models) and poor
air circulation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
• Be sure all packing materials are removed
Using Your Range
from the range before operating it to prevent fire
or smoke damage should the packing material
ignite.
WARNING—
All ranges can tip and injury
could result. To prevent accidental
tipping of the range, attach it to the
wall and floor by installing the Anti-
Tip device supplied.
• 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 Instructions.
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.
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 guide. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and injury.
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.
• 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.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
• 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.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door, broiler drawer or cooktop. They
could damage the range and even tip it over,
causing severe personal injury.
• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.

• Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces
and may cause severe burns.
Surface Cooking
• Always use the LITE position (on electric
ignition models) or the HI position (on standing
pilot models) when igniting the top 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.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• 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.
• Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam.
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.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a
range broiler or storage drawer or near a cooktop.
• Always turn the surface burners to off before
removing cookware.
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
• 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 broiler drawer.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.
• Do not use a wok on models with sealed
burners 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
• 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.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides
of the pan.
• 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.
• 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.
• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flames.
• If range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the top burners
and create a fire hazard.
• When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot models),
you will detect a faint odor of gas as your signal
to relight the pilot. When relighting the pilot,
make sure burner controls are in the off position,
and follow instructions in this book to relight.
• If you smell gas, and you have already made sure
pilots are lit (on standing pilot models), turn off the
gas to the range and call a qualified service technician.
Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
• 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.
• Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food
and avoid boilovers and 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 range can ignite. Use pans with
handles that can be easily grasped and remain
cool.
• When using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for top-of-range cooking.
• 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.
Vent appearance and location vary.

Baking, Broiling and Roasting
Cleaning Your Range
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
• Keep range clean and free of accumulations
of grease or spillovers, which may ignite.
• Place the oven shelves in the desired position
while the oven is cool.
• Be careful when you clean the cooktop because
the area over the pilot (on standing pilot
models) will be hot.
• Stand away from the range when opening the
door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that
escapes can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
• For continuous clean models, do not use oven
cleaners on any of the continuous cleaning
surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can be
identified by their rough surface finish.
• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf-stop 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 “R” is not designed to slide.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
• Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven
except as described in this guide. Misuse could
result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens.
• 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.
• When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,
the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
• Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
• If you should have a grease fire in the broiler
pan, turn off oven control, and keep broiler
drawer and oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE
TO YOUR OLD ONE?
Your new cooktop has gas burners. If you are used
The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or
surface unit you have.
to cooking with induction or other electric surface
units, you will notice some differences when you use
gas burners.
The following chart will help you to understand the
differences between gas burner cooktops and any
other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.
Type of Cooktop
Gas Burners
Description
How it Works
Regular or sealed
gas burners use
either LP gas
Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but
pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change
heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.
or natural gas.
Radiant
(Glass Ceramic)
Cooktop
Electric coils
under a glass-
ceramic cooktop.
Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on
the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to
continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if
you want cooking to stop.
Induction
High frequency
induction coils
under a glass
surface.
Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is
produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away
and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control
off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
Electric Coil
Flattened metal
tubing containing
electric resistance
wire suspended
over a drip pan.
Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best
cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of
warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change
heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to
continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.
Solid Disk
Solid cast iron
disk sealed to the
cooktop surface.
Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good
cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The
disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.
SURFACE COOKING
Lighting Instructions for Electric Ignition Models
Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition,
eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with
constantly burning flames.
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed.
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.
In case of a power failure, you can light the surface
burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted
match to the burner, then turn the 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.

3. Locate the two pilot ports and light each of them
with a match.
NOTE: If the pilot is too high or low, you can adjust
it. See the Adjust the Surface Burner Pilots If
Necessary section of the Installation Instructions.
• The right front burner is higher powered than the
others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker
(natural gas installations only).
4. Lower the cooktop. Your surface burners are now
ready for use.
5. Observe lighted burners. Compare the flames to
pictures in the Installation Instructions. If any flame
is unsatisfactory, call for service.
Before Lighting a Burner
• If drip pans are supplied with your range, they should be used at all times.
• Make sure all the grates on the range are in place before using any burner.
To Light a Surface Burner
Electric Ignition Models:
Standing Pilot Models:
Push the control knob in and
turn it to LITE. You will hear
a little ‘‘clicking’’ noise—the
sound of the electric spark
igniting the burner.
Push control knob in and turn it to HI position.
The burner should light within a few seconds.
Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift slightly
away from the burner when the burner is first
turned on. A blowing or hissing sound may be
heard for 30 to 60 seconds. This normal sound is due
to improved injection of gas and air into the burner.
Put a pan on the burner before lighting it, or adjust the
flame to match pan size as soon as it lights, and the
blowing or hissing sound will be much less noticeable.
After Lighting a Burner
• After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the
flame size.
• 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.
• Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one
you want to use.
• 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 Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
Any flame larger than the
bottom of the cookware is
wasted and only serves to
heat the handle.
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.
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 recommendations for cooking methods.
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.

USING YOUR OVEN
Before Using Your Oven
Be sure you understand how to set the controls properly. Practice removing
and replacing the shelves while the oven is cool. Read the information and
tips on the following pages. Keep this guide handy where you can refer to
it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.
Lighting Instructions for Electric Ignition Models
The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by
electric ignition.
Power Outage
To light the burner, turn the OVEN CONTROL
knob to the desired temperature. The burner should
light within 30-90 seconds. After the oven reaches the
selected temperature, the oven burner cycles—off
completely, then on with a full flame—to maintain the
selected 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.
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.
Lighting Instructions for Standing Pilot Models
These ranges have
standing oven pilots that
must be lit initially.
3. Find the oven pilot port at the back of the broiler
compartment. The long tube, running from front to
back, is the oven burner. The pilot port is at the
back, about one inch below the burner.

This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
Shelf Positions
The oven has five shelf supports for baking and
roasting identified in this illustration as A (bottom),
B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf
position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a
large turkey—the shelf is not designed to slide out at
this position. Shelf positions for cooking are suggested
in the Baking and Roasting sections.

Oven Vents
The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear
of the cooktop. See the Features section. Do not block
these openings when cooking in the oven—it is
important that the flow of hot air from the oven and
fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.
• 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.
• Do not leave plastic
items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left
too close to the vent.
• The vent openings and nearby surfaces may
become hot. Do not touch them.
• Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.
Vent appearance and location vary.
• Metal items will become very hot if they are left
on the cooktop and could cause burns.
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.

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches
the walls or the door of the oven.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven
at a time.
Pies
Cakes
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier
than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may
overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size
used is the one recommended.
Baking Pans
Don’t Peek
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on
the pan determines the amount of browning that
will occur.
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such
as “bake 30-40 minutes.”
• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum
time. Opening the oven door frequently during
cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times
longer. Your baking results may also be affected.
• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.
• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to
be reduced by 25°F.

Pull the OVEN CONTROL knob off the range and
look at the back side.
To make adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn),
but do not completely remove, the two screws on the
back of the knob. With the back of the knob facing
you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand
and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.
To raise the oven temperature, move the top screw
toward the right. You’ll hear a click for each notch
you move the knob. To lower the temperature, move
the top screw toward the left. Each click will change
the oven temperature approximately 10°F. (Range is
plus or minus 60°F. from the arrow.)
We suggest that you make the adjustment one click

before making any additional adjustments.
After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so they

Roasting temperatures, which should be low and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
The oven has a special
low shelf (R) position
just above the oven
bottom. Use it when
extra cooking space is
needed, for example,
when roasting a large
turkey. The shelf is not
designed to slide out at
this position.
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing
after being removed from the oven. Recommended
standing time for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F.
If you wish to compensate for temperature rise,
remove the roast from the oven when its internal
temperature is 5° to 10°F. less than temperature
shown in the Roasting Guide.

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot
oven and therefore should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has been reached.

2. Check the weight of the roast. Place the meat
fat-side-up or the poultry breast-side-up on the
roasting grid in a shallow pan. The melting fat will
baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of
meat as possible. (Broiler pan with grid is a good
pan for this.)
Use of Aluminum Foil

turkey on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so
equipped) may be added on position D so that
scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time.
Calculate the total cooking time to enable both dishes
to complete cooking at the same time. Allow 15-20
minutes of additional cooking time for the potatoes.

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.
This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for

Questions and Answers
Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a
meat thermometer?
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook
a roast or poultry?
A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the
completion of cooking time is recommended.
Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For
roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at half-
hour intervals after half the time has passed.
A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven.
Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips
that would help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,
or buy rolled roasts.
Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to
carve it?
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when
roasting a turkey?
A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to
20 minutes after removing from oven. Be sure to
cut across the grain of the meat.
A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving
it unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown
the meat.
ROASTING GUIDE
Frozen Roasts
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started
without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes per pound
additional time (15 minutes per pound for roasts under
5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).
Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting.
Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly.
Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked
successfully without thawing. Follow directions
given on package label.

BROILING
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the
Both the oven and broiler compartment doors
should be closed during broiling.
food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled.
Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking
to a minimum.
Turn most foods once during cooking (the exception
is thin fillets of fish; oil one side, place that side down
on broiler grid and cook without turning until done).
Time foods for about one-half the total cooking time,
turn food, then continue to cook to preferred doneness.
Your range has a compartment below the oven for
broiling. A specially designed broiler pan and grid
allow dripping fat to drain away from the food and
keeps it away from the high heat of the gas flame.
1. You can change the distance of the food from the
heat source by positioning the broiler pan and grid
on one of three shelf positions in the broiler
compartment—A (bottom of broiler compartment),
B (middle) and C (top).
4. Arrange the food on the grid and position the
broiler pan on the appropriate shelf in the oven or
broiling compartment. Placing food closer to the
flame increases exterior browning of the food, but
also increases spattering and the possibility of fats
and meat juices igniting.
2. Preheating the broiler or oven is not necessary and
can produce poor results.
5. Close the oven and broiler compartment door.
6. Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to BROIL.
3. If meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through it about 2 inches apart;
do not cut into the meat. We recommend that you
trim fat to prevent excessive smoking, leaving a
layer about 1/8 inch thick.
7. Turn OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF. Remove the
broiler pan from the broiler compartment and serve
food immediately. Leave the pan outside the range
to cool.
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and
broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly
to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat
juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices
could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Questions and Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
grid in the pan?
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
A. Check to see if you are using the recommended
shelf position. Broil for the longest period of time
indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only
once during broiling.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the
meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also
allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry or
fish, brush each side often with butter.

BROILING GUIDE
The oven and broiler compartment doors must be
closed during broiling.
• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling.
Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.
• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with
your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping the juices in the shielded lower
part of the pan.
• When arranging the food on the pan, do not let fatty
edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could
soil the oven.
• The broiler compartment does not need to be
preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to
increase browning, preheat if desired.
• For steaks and chops, slash the fat evenly around the
outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise
through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the
meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing juices.
• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the shelf
at the next lowest shelf position and increasing the

Burner Grates
Lift out when cool.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates
in a covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup
ammonia to loosen the soil. Let sit overnight
(or approximately 12 hours), then scrub with a
soap-filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse grates
thoroughly and dry completely before replacing
them on the range top.
Grates should be washed
regularly and, of course,
after spillovers. Wash
them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water.
After cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them in
a warm oven for a few minutes. Don’t put the grates
back on the range while they are wet. When replacing
the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over
the burners.
Although they’re 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. You will notice this sooner with
lighter color grates.
To prevent rusting on cast iron grates, apply a light
coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.
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.
CAUTION: Do not clean the grates in a dishwasher or
in a self-cleaning oven.
Cooktop Surface
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. You
can use aluminum foil if you do not cover the whole
shelf. 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 milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with
vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage
to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped
up immediately.
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel 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.
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.
If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom,
allow the oven to cool first. Remove the oven bottom
for easier clean-up and to prevent damage to the
continuous cleaning oven coating (on some models).
Frequent wipings with mild soap and water
(particularly after cooking meat) will prolong the time
between major cleanings. Rinse thoroughly. Soap left
on the oven bottom can cause stains.
For heavy soil, use an abrasive cleaner or a soap-
filled scouring pad. A commercial oven cleaner may
also be used, following the package directions.
Be careful when you clean the cooktop because
the area over the pilot will be hot (on models with
standing pilots).
(continued next page)
Do not store flammable materials in an oven 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.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Oven Light Bulb (on some models)
The light bulb is located in the upper left corner
of the oven. Before replacing your oven light bulb,
disconnect the electrical power to the range at the
main fuse or circuit breaker panel or unplug the
range from the electrical outlet. Let the bulb cool
completely before removing it. Replace the bulb with
a 40 watt appliance bulb only. Do not touch a hot bulb
with a damp cloth as the bulb will break.
Control Panel and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water or
vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may
be removed for easier
cleaning. To remove
knob, pull it straight
off the stem.
Wash the knobs in soap
and water or a vinegar
and hot water solution
but do not soak.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water.
Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids
or commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.
Removable Broiler Drawer (on some models)
To remove:
1. When the broiler is cool, remove the grid and pan.
2. Pull the broiler drawer out until it stops, then push
it back in about one inch.
3. Grasp the handle, lift and pull broiler drawer out.
Clean the broiler drawer with hot soapy water.
To replace:
Hold the broiler drawer in the raised position as you
slide it partway into the range. Then lower the drawer
and push it completely closed.
Broiler Pan and Grid
Grid
After broiling, remove the broiler pan. Remove the
grid from the pan. Carefully pour out grease from the
pan into a proper container. Wash and rinse the broiler
pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic
scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent
while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a
dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.
Both the broiler pan
and grid can also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled
broiler pan and grid
anywhere in the range.
CAUTION: Do not clean
the broiler pan or grid in a
self-cleaning oven.

Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable but it is heavy. You may
need help removing and replacing the door.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
(Do not immerse door in water.)
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
Inside of door:
• Allow to cool before cleaning. For light soil, wipe
frequently with mild soap and water (especially after
cooking meat). This will prolong the time between
major cleanings. Rinse thoroughly.
NOTE: Soap left on the oven door causes
additional stains when the oven is reheated.
straight up and off
the hinges.
• For heavy soil, choose an oven cleaner and follow
label instructions. Rinse well.
NOTE: Be careful
not to place hands
between the hinge
and the oven door
frame as the hinge
could snap back and
pinch fingers.
Outside of door:
• 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.
• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces
and basting materials containing acids may cause
discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
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 hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull
them back out.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will
retain its attractive finish for many years.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
• Be careful where the oven cleaner is sprayed.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a
mild abrasive cleanser. Soapy, wet 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 dull spots even after cleaning.
• Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls
and switches (on some models) because it could
cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
• Do not allow a film from the cleaner to remain on
the temperature sensing bulb—it could cause the
oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located at the
rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after
each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
bulb as a change in its position could affect how the
oven bakes.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job
easier. Place 1/2 cup ammonia in a shallow glass pan
and leave in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.
• Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven,
cabinet or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage
these surfaces.
When necessary, you may use a commercial oven
cleaner. Follow the package directions.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Special Care of Continuous-Cleaning Oven Interior (on some models)
The Continuous-Cleaning Oven cleans itself while
cooking. The oven walls are finished with a special
coating that cannot be cleaned in the usual manner with
soap, detergents, steel wool pads, commercial oven
cleaners, coarse abrasive pads or coarse brushes. Use of
such cleansers and/or the use of oven sprays will cause
permanent damage.
To Clean the Continuous-Cleaning Oven:
1. Let range parts cool before handling. We recommend
rubber gloves be worn when cleaning.
2. Remove shelves and cookware.
3. Soil visibility may be reduced by operating the oven
at 400°F. Close the door and turn the OVEN
CONTROL knob to 400°F. Time for at least four
hours. Repeated cycles may be necessary before
improvement in appearance is apparent.
The special coating is a porous ceramic material,
which is dark in color and feels slightly rough to the
touch. If magnified, the surface would appear as peaks,
valleys and sub-surface ‘‘tunnels.’’ This rough finish
tends to prevent grease spatters from forming little
beads or droplets that run down the side walls of a
hard-surface oven liner, leaving unsightly streaks that
require hand cleaning. Instead, when spatter hits the
porous finish, it is dispersed and partially absorbed.
This spreading action increases the exposure of oven
soil to heated air and makes it somewhat less noticeable.
Remember: During the operation of the oven, the
door and other range surfaces will get hot enough to
cause burns. Do not touch. Let the range cool before
replacing the oven shelves.
4. If a spillover or heavy soiling occurs on the porous
surface, as soon as the oven has cooled, remove as
much of the soil as possible using a small amount of
water and a stiff-bristle nylon brush. Use water
sparingly and change it frequently, keeping it as
clean as possible, and be sure to blot it up with paper
towels, cloths or sponges. Do not rub or scrub with
paper towels, cloths or sponges, since they will leave
unsightly lint on the oven finish. If water leaves a
white ring on the finish as it dries, apply water again
and blot it with a clean sponge, starting at the edge
of the ring and working toward the center.
Soil may not disappear completely and at some time
after extended usage, stains may appear that cannot
be removed.
The special coating works best on small amounts
of spatter. It does not work well with larger spills,
especially sugars, egg or dairy mixtures. The oven
bottom does not have the continuous cleaning oven
coating and can be removed and cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner.
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.
The oven bottom comes out for cleaning away from the
Continuous-Cleaning Oven.
This special coating is not used on the oven
shelves, oven bottom or the inside of the oven
door. Remove these to clean with a commercial
oven cleaner to prevent damaging the Continuous-
Cleaning Oven coating.
The inside of the oven door has a porcelain enamel
finish. The oven door lifts off for cleaning away from
the Continuous-Cleaning Oven. For instructions on
how to clean the inside of the oven door refer to the
Lift-Off Oven Door section.
Make sure the oven bottom is in place before
you turn the oven on for any reason.
Do not use soap, detergent, steel wool pads,
commercial oven cleaner, silicone oven sprays,
coarse pads or coarse brushes on the porous
surface. These products will spot, clog and damage
the porous surface and reduce its ability to work.
Use care in removing and replacing the oven
bottom and shelves and in placing and removing
dishes and food to avoid scratching, rubbing or
otherwise damaging the porous finish on the oven walls.
Do not scrape the porous surface with a knife or
spatula—they could permanently damage the
finish.

Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or
steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
Lift-up Cooktop (on models with standard twin burners)
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil,
especially grease, may catch on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up.
To raise the cooktop:
1. Be sure burners are turned off.
2. Remove the grates.
3. Grasp the two front burner wells and lift up.
Some models have dual support rods that will hold the
cooktop up while you clean underneath it.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, soapy
water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be
careful not to pinch your fingers. Lower cooktop
gently to avoid blowing out pilot flames (on standing
pilot models).
Oven Air Vents
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 kick
panel, storage drawer or broiler drawer (depending on
the model).
Vent appearance and location vary.

PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations
for Models Equipped with Sealed Burners
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure
of 4″ of water column on natural gas or, if designed
for LP gas (propane or butane), 10″ of water
column. 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.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas
supplied to the regulator must be between 4″ and
13″ of water column. For LP gas, the pressure
supplied must be between 10″ and 13″ of water
column. When checking for proper operation of
the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least
1″ greater 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. A flexible metal appliance
connector used to connect the range to the gas
supply line should have an I.D. of 1/ 2″ and be
5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada,
flexible connectors must be single wall metal

remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.
3 . Install male 1/ 2″ or 3/ 4″ flare 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.
4 . Connect flexible metal appliance connector
to the adapter on the range. Position range
to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
5 . 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.
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,

Usage Situations where Appliance Power
Cord will be Disconnected Frequently.
A
Usage Situations where Appliance
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because disconnecting of the power cord
places undue strain on the adapter and leads to
eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal.
The customer should have the two-prong
wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician
before using the appliance.
The installation of appliances designed for
mobile home installation must conform with
the Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile
Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD,
Part 280) or, when such standard is not
applicable, the Standard for Manufactured
Home Installations, latest edition (Manufactured
Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI
A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In
Canada, mobile home installation must be in
accordance with the current CAN/ CSA
Z240/ MH Mobile Home Installation Code.
Power Cord will be Disconnected Infrequently.
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
TEMP ORARY 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 connection of the
power cord.
TEMPORARY METHOD
(Adapter plugs not
permitted in Canada)
Align large
prongs/slots
Ensure proper
ground and
firm connection
before use
Electric Disconnect
1 . Locate disconnect plug on the range back.
2 . Pinch sides of connector and pull out of
range back.
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.
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.

CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE BURNERS
Operation of all cooktop and oven burners
should be checked after the pilots have been
lighted (on some models) and range and gas
supply lines have been carefully checked for leaks.
7
CHECK IGNITION OF OVEN BURNER
Your oven is designed to operate quietly and
automatically. To operate the oven, turn the OVEN
CONTROL knob to a setting above 200°F. After
30-90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and
burn until the set temperature is reached. The
oven burner will continue to cycle on and off as
necessary to maintain the oven at the temperature
indicated by the OVEN CONTROL knob.
Electric ignition models require electrical
power to operate. The oven cannot be lit during a
power outage. Gas will not flow unless the glow
bar is hot.
Standing P ilot Models
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously
push in and turn to HI position. The burner
should light within a few seconds. Try each
burner in succession until all burners have
been checked.
Electric Ignition Models
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously
push in and turn to LITE position. You will hear a
snapping 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.
If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs,
the burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until
power is restored.

With the oven bottom removed, properly
adjusted flames should have approximately 1″
blue cones and, if range is supplied with natural
gas, should burn with no yellow tipping. (With
most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of
outer cones are normal.) Flames should not lift
off burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually
reduce air shutter opening until flames are
stabilized.

3 . Use a 1 ⁄ ″ open-end or
adjustable wrench to back
out the front leveling legs
two turns.
4 . Install the oven shelves
in the oven and position
the range where it will be
installed.
5 . Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or
a cup, partially filled with water, on one of the
oven shelves. If using a spirit level, take two
readings—with the level placed diagonally first
in one direction and then the other.
6. Adjust the leveling legs until the range is level.
7 . After the range is level, slide the range away
from the wall so that the Anti-Tip device can be
installed.
