IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 5

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The 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 imperfect combustion

of natural or LP gas. Correctly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow

flame, will minimize imperfect combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized

by opening windows or using a ventilation fan or hood.

-._WARNING -,

,, This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.

Wash hands after handling.

,, Never use your range as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result

in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

,, Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful

when reaching for items placed in cabinets over the range. Flammable materials could

be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe

burns.

,, Do not place or use combustible materials such as gasoline or other flammable vapors

and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

,, Do not place flammable materials in the oven or near the cooktop.

,, Do not allow cooking grease or other flammable materials in or near the range.

,, Do not use water on grease fires. Never touch 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.

A grease fire 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 upper oven or lower oven 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.

,, Do not use the oven or the drawer for storage.

,, Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them.

,, Never block the vents (air holes) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet

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.

,, Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent

or air intakes. Doing so restricts air to the burner and may result in carbon monoxide

poisoning.

,, Never cover 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.

,, Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.

,, Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers of this range can result in serious

injuries and also cause damage to the range. Do not allow children to climb or play

around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip,

resulting in serious burns or other injury.

,, Leak testing of the appliance must be conducted according to the manufacturer's

instructions.

6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

.........._ WARNING

,, Gas leaks may occur in the system and result in aserious hazard. Gas leaks may

not be detected by smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install

a UL approved gas detector. Install and use in accordance with the gas detector

manufacturer's instructions.

,, Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish or around any part of the

oven. They will damage the finish.

,, To prevent staining or discoloration, clean appliance after each use.

,, Do not attempt to open or close the door or operate the oven until the door is properly

installed.

,, Never place fingers between the hinge and front oven frame. Hinge arms are spring

mounted. If accidentally hit, the hinge will slam shut against the oven frame and injure

your fingers.

8 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SURFACE BURNERS

WARNING

o Even if the top burner flame goes out, gas is still flowing to the burner until the knob is

turned to the Off position. If you smell gas, immediately open a window and ventilate

the area for five minutes prior to using the burner. Do not leave the burners on

unattended.

Use proper pan size. Do not use pans that are unstable or that can be easily tipped.

Select cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid

spillovers, make sure the 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 the range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be

easily grasped and remain cool.

......_ CAUTION

. Be sure that all surface controls are set in the Off position prior to supplying gas to the

range.

Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers may

cause smoke and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

Always turn the knobs to the Lite position when igniting the top burners and make sure

the burners have ignited.

Control the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the

cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

Only use 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 towels or other bulky cloth items. Use a pot holder.

if using glass cookware, make sure the cookware is designed for range-top cooking.

To prevent burns from ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware

handles toward the side or back of the range without extending them over adjacent

burners.

Never 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.

,, Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

,, If frying combinations of oils and fats, stir together before heating.

Use a deep fat thermometer if possible to prevent overheating fat from heating beyond

the smoking point.

Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the

pan with too much fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

Do not cook foods directly on an open flame on the cooktop.

Do not use a wok on the surface 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. It may also cause the burner to work

improperly. This may cause carbon monoxide levels which are higher than what is

allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost or moisture on foods can cause hot

fat to bubble up and spill over the sides of the pan.

,, Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

Do not place plastic items on the cooktop- they may melt if left too close to the vent.

Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 9

.........._ CAUTION

, To prevent burns, always be sure that the controls for all burners are in the Off position

and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.

o If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician.

Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

,, Always turn the knobs to the Off position before removing cookware.

• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can cause damage and improper operation

of the range.

If the range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over

the surface burners and catch on fire.

Use care when cleaning the cooktop. The pointed metal ends on the electrodes could

cause injury.

BROILER

Always use a broiler pan and a grid for excess fat and grease drainage. This will help to

reduce splatter, smoke, and flare-ups.

_-IA WARNING

hen using your broiler, the temperature inside the oven will be extremely high. Take

aution to avoid possible burns by:

Keeping the door closed when broiling (refer to Broil section of the manual)

Always wearing oven mitts when inserting or removing food items

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY

To protect against food=borne illnesses, cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an

INTERNAL temperature of 160 °F, poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 165 °F and

beef, pork, veal & lamb steaks & chops to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 145 °F.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

Make sure to wipe off excess spillage before operating the Self Clean function.

.........._ CAUTION

, Do not leave food, broiler trays, cooking utensils, racks, etc. in the oven during the self

clean cycle.

o Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating

of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven

cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self clean cycle is used.

Remove oven racks and other items from both upper and lower ovens before starting

the self clean cycle.

Only clean the parts listed in this manual.

, Do not manually clean the door gasket. The door gasket is necessary for a good seal.

Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

, if the self cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the range off and disconnect the power

supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

,, it is normal for parts of the oven to become hot during aSelf Clean cycle.

Avoid touching the door, window or oven vent area during a Self Clean cycle.

10 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

OVEN

When opening the door of a hot oven, stand away from the range. The hot air and steam

that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

............_ WARNING

,, Never block 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 heat food in closed containers. Pressure inside the container could increase and

cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.

,, Do not line oven walls or bottom with aluminum foil or allow them to contact exposed

heating elements in the oven. Doing so could create a fire hazard or cause damage to

the range.

,, Do not use the oven for storage. Items stored in the oven can catch on fire.

,, Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

,, Insert the oven racks in the desired position while the oven is cool.

,, To prevent burns when removing food, slide racks out until the stop engages, then

remove food items. This may also protect you from getting burnt by touching hot

surfaces of the door or oven walls.

,, When placing or removing a griddle, always wear oven mitts.

,, 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 the range after you finish broiling. Grease left in the

pan can catch fire if the oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan.

,, If meat is too close to the flame while broiling, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to

prevent excessive flare-ups.

,, Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly to minimize the possibility of grease fires.

,, If you have a grease fire in the broiler pan, touch Upper Clear/Off or Lower Clear/Off

and keep the oven door closed to contain the fire until it burns out.

,, For safety and better cooking performance, always bake and broil with the oven door

closed. Open door baking or broiling can cause damage to the knobs or valves.

Do not leave the oven door open during cooking or while the oven is cooling down.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 11

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

,, Multiple-rack cooking saves time and energy. Whenever possible, cook foods requiring the

same cooking temperature together in one oven.

,, For optimal performance and energy savings, follow the guides on page 31 for proper rack

and pan placements.

,, Match the size of the cookware to the amount of food being cooked to save energy when

heating. Heating ½ quart of water requires more energy in a 3-quart pot than in a 1-quart

pot.

,, Use cookware with flat bottoms to provide the best contact with the cooktop surface when

cooking on the glass-ceramic cooktop.

,, Match the size of the cooktop burner or element to the size of the cookware in use. Using

a large element for a small pan wastes heating energy, and the exposed surface of the

element is a burn or fire hazard.

,, Reduce energy use by cleaning light oven soils with the EasyClean ® feature instead of

self-clean.

,, Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary during use. This helps the oven

maintain temperature, prevents unnecessary heat loss, and saves on energy use.

Read all instructions before using the appliance.

Installing the Range

Unpacking and Moving the Range

7 CAUTION

•You should use two or more people to move

and install the range. (Excessive Weight

Hazard) Failure to do so can result in back or

other injury.

Do not use the door handles to push or

pull the range during installation or when

moving the range out for cleaning or

service. Doing so can result in serious damage

to the door of the range.

Remove packing material, tape and any temporary

labels from your range before using. Do not remove

any warning-type labels, the model and serial number

label, or the Tech Sheet that is located on the back of

the range.

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area

briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also

be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid

dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe

with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,

flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape

or glue. These products can damage the surface of

your range.

Your range is heavy and can be installed on soft

floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.

Use care when moving the range on this type of

flooring. Use a belt when moving the range to prevent

damaging the floor. Or slide the range onto cardboard

or plywood to avoid damaging the floor covering.

Choosing the Proper Location

Do not locate your 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 blocked by

carpeting or woodwork.

Your range, like many other household units, is heavy

and can be installed on soft floor coverings such as

cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving

the range on this type of flooring.

This appliance must not be installed with a ventilation

system that blows air downward toward the range.

This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and

combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance

resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.

When the floor covering ends at the front of the

range, the area that the range will be installed on

should be built up with plywood to the same level

or higher than the floor covering. This wilt allow the

range to be moved for cleaning and servicing, as welt

as provide proper air flow to the range.

Also, make sure the floor covering can resist

temperatures of at least 167 °F (75 °C). See the

The anti-tip bracket is packaged with an installation

template. The instructions include necessary

information to complete the installation. Read and

follow the range installation instruction sheet.

---------WARNING

• Range must be secured with an approved anti-

tip device.

The range could be tipped by standing, sitting

or leaning on an open door if the range or anti-

tip device is not properly installed.

After installing the anti-tip device, verify that it is

in place by carefully attempting to tilt the range

forward.

This range has been designed to meet all

recognized industry tip standards for all normal

conditions.

The installation of the anti-tip device must meet

all local codes for securing the appliance.

The use of this device does not preclude tipping

of the range when not properly installed.

Providing Adequate Gas

Supply

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of

5" of water column on natural gas or 10" of water

column on LP.

Make sure you are supplying your range with the type

of gas for which it is configured.

This range is convertible for use on natural or LP gas.

When using this range on LP gas, conversion must

be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting

to operate the range.

For proper operation, the pressure dnatural gas

supplied to the regulator must be between 5" and 13"

of water column.

For LP gas, the pressure supplied to the regulator

must be between 10" and 13" of water column. When

checking for correct operation of the regulator, the

inlet pressure must be at least 1" more than the

operating (manifold) pressure as given above.

The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the

range must remain in the supply line regardless of

which type of 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 5/8"and a maximum length of 5 feet. In Canada,

flexible connectors must be single watt metal

connectors less than 6 feet in length.

INSTALLATION 17

Connecting the Range to Gas

Shut off the range gas supply valve before removing

the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up

has been completed.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,

the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal

appliance connector should be used unless local

codes require a hard-piped connection.

A manual valve shall be installed in an accessible

location in the gas piping external to the appliance

for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the

appliance.

Never reuse an old connector when installing a new

range.

To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe joint

sealant on all external threads.

Install a 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.

Install a male 1/2"flare union adapter to the 1/2"

NPT internal thread at the inlet of the pressure

regulator. Use a backup wrench on the pressure

regulator fitting to prevent damage.

In an emergency situation or if you want to shut

off the gas supply, close the regulator valve by

Electrical Connections

Electrical Requirements

120 Volt, 60 Hz, properly grounded dedicated circuit

protected by a 15 or 20 Amp circuit breaker, or slow

blow fuse.

If an external electrical source is utilized, the

appliance, when installed, must be electrically

grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the

absence of local codes, with the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

Grounding

IMPORTANT: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS

APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

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.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the personal responsibility and

obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a

properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR

REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM

THE POWER CORD.

Aword about GFCI's -GFCI's are not required or

recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's) are

devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit

and automatically switch off power when a threshold

leakage level is detected. These devices must

be manually reset by the consumer. The National

Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI's in kitchen

receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces.

Performance of the range will not be affected

if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but the

occasional resetting of the circuit can become an

annoyance.

Preferred

Method

CAUTION

Have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician

to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Do not use an adapter plug. Disconnecting of the

power cord places undue strain on the adapter

and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground

terminal.

Installation must conform with local codes or, in the

absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

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
