Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. 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. Operating Instructions WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.
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. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ■ Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation. ■ Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite. Operating Instructions Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SURFACE BURNERS Operating Instructions 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. Safety Instructions ge.
ELECTRIC WARMING DRAWER ■ The purpose of the warming 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. ■ Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire. ■ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food, or combustible materials in the drawer. ■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your drawer. ■ Do not warm food in the drawer for more than two hours.
OVEN Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes. ■ Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to the range. Installation Instructions WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model. How to Light a Gas Surface Burner Make sure all the surface burners are placed in their respective positions. 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. Turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click. 8 When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark.
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 tightfitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water. Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods. Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly.
Your non-stick coated griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for meats, pancakes or other food usually prepared in a frying pan or skillet. NOTE: Your griddle will discolor over time as it becomes seasoned with use. How to Insert the Griddle Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the griddle. (on some models) CAUTION: Place and remove the griddle only when all grates and griddle are cool and all surface units are turned OFF. The griddle can only be used with the center burner.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan. 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. Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide. The oven door must be closed during broiling. Serve the food immediately, and leave the pan outside the oven to cool during the meal for easiest cleaning.

Safety Instructions Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself! You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself. Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the electric warming drawer. ■ Repeated opening of the drawer allows the hot air to escape and the food to cool.
The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly. Before a Clean Cycle For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
