A 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 volve and how to shut it off if necessory.
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.
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 o 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 o properly grounded,
three-prong outlet in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. Do not use
on extension cord with this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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.
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.
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.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door, storage drawer, warming
drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
CAUTION: Items
ofinterest
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.
A WARNING: NEVERuse
this
4
appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
Neverwear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Becareful when
reachingfor 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 severeburns.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
a range storage drawer, a warming drawer
or near a cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
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.
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.
Flame in the oven or warming drawer can
be smothered completely by closing the oven
door and turning the control to off or by using
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
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, kick panel or storage drawer.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can
lead to broken or shattered glass.

A WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
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
Always use the LITE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
hove ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flume settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookwure. Excessive flume is hazardous.
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 flumes when lifting cookwure. Do not use
u towel or other bulky cloth in place of u pot
holder.
When using glass cookwure, make sure
it is designed for top-of-range cooking.
To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and spillage,
turn cookwure handles toward the side or
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
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.
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.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktopthey may melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics away from the surface

attempting to remove them.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
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.

frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead
to damage and improper operation
of the range.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
COOK MEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of l60°F and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of l80°K Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodbome illness.
OVEN
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape
can cause bums to hands, face and eyes.
Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
Place the oven racks in the desired position
while the oven is cool.
Pulling out the rack 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.
Always remove any 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.
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,
the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
A WARNING: NEVERcover
Makesure any broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibilityof grease fires.
any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
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.
6
Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens.
If you should have a grease fire in a broiler
pan, touch the Clear/Off pad, and keep
the oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out.
For safety and proper cooking performance,
always bake and broil with the oven door
closed.

Top-of-Range
Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware
is recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in
an aluminum skillet. Usesaucepans with
tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookwure may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer's
recommendations for cooking methods.

I
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.
HeatproofGlass-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.
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.

(on models with sealed burners)
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.
LI
This can be hazardous to your health.
Wok

Usea flat-bottomed wok.
This
Way
(on models with sealed burners)
! ii We recommend
that you use a 14" or smaller
flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom
sits flat on the grate. They are available at your
local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support
ring. Placingthe ring over the burner or grate
may cause the burner to work improperly,
resulting in carbon monoxide levelsabove
allowable standards. This could be dangerous
to your health.

Preheating
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary
when convection baking and for good
results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
When bakingona single rack,use
the rack positionfrom the chartfor
yourtype of food. Bakingresultswill
be better if bakingpansare centered
in the ovenas muchas possible.
(
and Pan Placement
Baking results will be better if foods are
centered in the oven as much as possible.
Pans should not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
For best resultswhen baking four cake layers
at a time, use racks B and D. Placethe lower
pans at the back of the rack and the upper
pans at the front of the rack as shown so that
one pan is not directly above another leaving
approximately 1-1/2" between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the walls.

(80% fat).
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 resultswith your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70%
vegetable oil.

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.
Remove the racks, any broiler pan, broiler
grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
The oven racks can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus
the high clean cycle temperatures may
damage the porcelain finish of the oven.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot water, soap-filled scouring pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scrub.¢ Rinse

Grates
Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.Wash
them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water. When replacing the grates, be sure
they are positioned securely over
the burners.
On models with professional-style double
grates, the grates are position-specific. For
maximum stability, these grates should only
be used in their proper position; they cannot
be interchanged left to right or front to back.
For convenience, the undersides of the left
and right grates are marked "LEFTFRONT"
and "RIGHTFRONT."
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates
in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia
and let them soak several hours or overnight.
Wash, rinse well and dry.
Although they are durable, the grates
will gradually losetheir 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.
NOTE:Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning
oven.
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.

Cooktop
Surface
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. Forother spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water once the surface
has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry
cloth.
Stainless
Steel Surfaces
NOTE:Do not store flammable materials
in on 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.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed
burner models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to
damage and improper operation of the range.
(onsome models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface,
use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel
cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in
the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface.

Rinsewell. You may also use a glass
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside
of the door.
iii,Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and busting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When the
surface is cool, clean and rinse.
iii_Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
To clean the inside of the door:
Do not allow excess water to run into
any holes or slots in the door.
Becausethe area insidethe gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle,you
do not need to clean this by hand. Any
soup left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel
finish. To make cleaning easier,protect
the oven bottom from excessivespillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the
rack you are cooking on. 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 tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauces
with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause
pitting and damage to the porcelain-enamel
surface and should be wiped up immediately.
30
We don't recommend using aluminum foil
on the oven bottom. It can affect airflow if the
holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat
at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor
baking performance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring
pad. Rinsewell to remove any soap before
self-cleaning.

SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.
• INSTALL and CHECKthe
ANTI-TIP bracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
For your safety, never use your range for warming
or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not
designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not
be operated without cookwore on the grate. Such abuse
could result in fire and damage to your range and will
void your warranty.
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must
be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See
installation instructions shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting to install.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

LOCATION
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut offthe main gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hookup has
been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other
gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supply fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by
carpeting or woodwork.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSAInternational-certified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and
can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl
or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type
of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and
inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range.
If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align
the pipe;the range cannot be moved after the connection
is made.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(or similar material).When the floor covering ends at
the front of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with plywood to the same level
or higher than the floor covering.
To prevent gas leaks,put pipe-joint compound on, or wrap
pipe-thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external)
pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line
in an easily accessed location outside of the range.
Hake sure everyone operating the range knows where
and how to shut offthe gas supply to the range.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
or servicing.Also, make sure your floor covering will
withstand 180°F.(Seethe Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulator. Usea backup wrench
on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
Hake sure the wall coverings around your range can
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F)by the range.
(Seethe Installation SafetyInstructions section.)
When installing the range from the front, remove the 90°
elbow for easier installation.
C. 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.
ITI PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
This range is designed for an operating manifold
pressure of 4" or S" water column (W.C.) on natural gas
(see rating label on product) or 10" W.C. on LP gas.
E.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.
This range comes from the factory set for use on natural
gas, but it is convertible for use on LPgas. If you decide to
use this range on LPgas, conversion must be made by a
qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the
range.
WARNING: DO NOT USEA FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
Forproper operation, the inlet pressure to the regulator
should be at least 1" W.C.above the operating manifold
pressure but must not exceed 14"W.C.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate
the range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off valve.
The pressure regulator located atthe inlet of the range
manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of
whether natural or LP gas is being used. When checking for
proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be
at least 1" greater than the operating manifold pressure.
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 connectors no
longer than 6 feet in length.

or time-delay fuse.
(CONT.)
Power Cord Will
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 TEMPORARYCONNECTIONmay be
made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by
the use of a UL-listedadapter, 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.
Extension Cord Cautions
Becauseof 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,3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord
and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes
be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch circuit rating.

^_
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.
e2:ists before use
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and 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.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE
THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
A word obout GFCIs- GFCIsore not required or
recommended for gos ronge receptocles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)are devicesthat
sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically
switch off power when a threshold leakage level isdetected.
Thesedevices must be manually reset by the consumer.
The National ElectricalCode requiresthe use of GFCIsin
