Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit. CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above an appliance or on the backguard of a range. Children climbing on the appliance or on the appliance door to reach items c0uld be seriously injured. ABOUT YOUR APPLIANCE To prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance, do not use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room. Also, do not use the cooktop or oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Restriction of air flow to the burner prevents proper p'erformance and increases carbon monoxide emission to unsafe levels, Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause burns, After oven is turned off, do not touch the oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. CAUTION: Do not eu_ use an appliance as a step stool to cabinets above. Misuse of appliance doors or drawers, such as stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawer, may result in possible tipping of the appliance, breakage of door, and serious injuries. Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock. COOKING SAFETY Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to bu rner flame. Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance. Never leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spiltovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible, Do not use high heat for extended cooking operations. Never heat an unopened container on the surface burner or in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance. Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may cause burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should never be used as pot holders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance parts. Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on. ' IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS Use caution when wearing garments made of flammable material to avoid clothing fires. Loose fitting or long hanging-sleeved apparel should not be worn while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles. Always place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry sturdy pot holders. Always avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry pot holder. Atways turn the oven off at the end of cooking. Use care when opening the oven door.'Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The food could be contaminated. UTENSIL SAFETY Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose handled pans. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous. To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do not extend handles over adjacent surface burners. Always turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by small children. Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance. Fotlow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags. J Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, or glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventionat cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this manual. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units, stove top grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance. CLEANING SAFETY Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam bums if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. IMPORTANT WARNING SAFETY NOTICE AND =1 : The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances. Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can resuft in tow-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by properly venting the burners to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is located. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS I IGNITION ABOUT+YOURCOOKTOP SYSTEM + HOW TO LIGHT SURFACE BURNERS Your cooktop will feature either pilot ignition or pilotless Ignition. If the gas supply to the range is turned off, be sure all controls are set in the OFF position before re-supplying gas to the appliance. CAUTION: If the flame should go out during a cooking operation, turn the burner off. If gas has accumutated and a strong gas odor is detected, open a window and wait 5 minutes for the gas odor to disappear before relighting burner. Pilot Ignition To prevent damage to the €ooktop or pan, never operate surface burner without a pan in place, never allow a pan to boil dry and never operate a surface burner on HIGH for extended periods of time. When the range is first installed, the pilots may be difficult to light due to air in the gas line. To bleed off air from the line, hold a lighted match next to the burner and turn knob on. When the burner lights, turn the knob off and proceed as directed below, To light surface burner: 1. Place a pan on the burner grate. To light pilot: Raise cooktop and hold a lighted match near the pilot ports. There are two pilot ports. NOTE: The burner flame may lift off the burner head and a "roaring" sound may be heard if a pan is not placed on the grate before lighting the burner. 2. Push in and turn knob to the LITE position. Pilotless ignition models only: A clicking sound will be heard and the burner wilt light. When one burner is turned on, all ignitorswill spark. Pilotless Ignition Pilotless ignition uses a spark from the ignitor to light the burner. There are two ignitors for conventional surface burners. Once the burner lights, turn the knob to the desired setting. The clicking sound wilt not stop untiI the knob is turned from the LITE position. Once the burner lights, turn the knob to the desired setting. The clicking sound will not stop until the knob is turned from the UTE position. In the event of a power failure, the surface burner can be manually lighted. Be sure all controls are in the OFF position. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head. Push in and turn knob to the L1TEposftion. The burner will then light. Adjust the flame to the desired flame size. 3. After the burner lights, turn the knob to the desired flame size. Pilotless ignition models only: The ignitors will continue to spark until the knob is turned from the LITE position. Adjust the flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. This is for personal safety and to prevent possible damage to the apptiance, pan, or cabinets above the appliance. This also improves cooking efficiency+ ABOUT YOURCOOKTOP SELECTING FLAME SIZE COOKWARE Use a HtGH flame setting to quickly bring liquids to a boil or to begin a cooking or canning operation. Then reduce to a lower setting to continue cookingl Never leave food unattended when using a HIGH flame setting. CONSIDERATIONS Cookware, including canning equipment, which extends more than two inches beyond the grate, rests on two grates, or touches the cooktop will cause a build up of heat and may result in damage to the the burner grate, burner and cooktop. Cookware, such as a wok with a support ring, which restricts air circulation around the burner will cause heat to build up and may result in damage to the burner grate, burner or cooktop. An intermediate flame size is used to continue a cooking operation. Food will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Remember, water boils at the same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously. Use LO to simmer or keep foods at serving temperatures. Foods cook faster when the cookware is covered because more heat is retained. Lower the flame size when cookware is covered. This also improves cooking efficiency. The cooking performance is greatty affected by the type of cookware used. Proper cookware will reduce cooking times, use less energy and produce more even cooking results. For best results use a heavy gauge metal pan with a smooth flat bottom, straight sides and a tight fitting lid. Select a material, such as aluminum or copper, that conducts heat quickly and evenly. CANNING If a knob is turned very quickly from the HI to the LO setting, the flame may go out, particularly if the burner is cold. If this occurs, turn the knob to the OFF position, wait several seconds, then light the burner again. ABOUT THE SURFACE BURNER FLAME A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds. You may hear a "popping" sound on some types of gas when the surface burner is turned off. This is a normal operating sound of the burner. On natural gas, the flame will be blue with a deeper blue core; there should be no trace of yellow in the flame. A yellow flame indicates an improper mixture of air/gas. Have a serviceman adjust the mixture if a yellow flame occurs. (NOTE: Adjustments are not covered by the warranty.) On LP gas, some yellow tipping may occur. This is normal and adjustment is not necessary. When canning, use the HI setting just until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in a pressure canner, then reduce to a setting that maintains the pressure or a boil. Prolonged use of the HI setting, the use of incorrect canning utensils, or the use of improper canning techniques may produce excessive heat and result in permanent damage to the appliance. NOTE: For additional canning information contact your local County Extension Office. Or, contact AIItrista Consumer Products Company, marketer of Ball brand home canning products at 800-240-3340 or write: AIItrista Corp., Consumer Affairs Dept., P.O. Box 2729, Muncie, IN 47307-0729. J ALUMINUM ABOUT YOUR OVEN FOIL USAGE HOW TO SET OVEN TO BAKE ° Do not cover an entire oven rack or oven bottom with aluminum foil. This will reduce heat circulation, result Jnpoor baking and may damage the oven bottom. • Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. This prevents fat from draining into the pan below and increases flare-ups and smoke. However, the broiler pan may be fined with foil for easier clean-up. • Preheating is necessary for baking. • It is not necessary to preheat for roasting. • To preheat, set the oven to the desired temperature and allow about 8 to 15 minutes for the oven to preheat, * When the oven reaches the preset temperature, the oven indicator Iight will turn off. • Selecting a temperature higher than desired will NOT preheat the oven any faster, and may have a negative effect on baking results. 2. Push in and turn OVEN TEMP knob to desired temperature. 3. Place food in center of oven, allowing a minimum of 2 inches between utensil and oven walls. I Always turn this knob just TO the desired temperature. ° _o_ HOW TO SET OVEN TO BROIL 1. Place broil rack and broiler pan in the recommended rack position. 2. Push in and turn OVEN TEMP knob to BROIL, 3. It is possible to broil longer cooking foods such as chicken pieces at a lower temperature to prevent overbrowning. Turn the knob to 400 or 450_F, rather OVENTEMP than BROIL, for low temperature broiling. 4. Turn meat once about halfway thorugh cooking. 5. Remove food from oven and turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF. After cleaning broiler pan, store it in the lower broil compartment. OVEN CONTROL To accurately set the oven temperature, do not turn to a higher temperature and then back. I 1, When cool, position rack in oven. 4. Check food for doneness at OVEN TEMP minimum time in recipe. Cook longer if necessary. 5. Remove food from the oven and turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF. PREHEATING The OVEN TEMP knob is used to select the oven temperature. 611 o OVENTEMP BROILING TYPE OF MEAT RACK POSITION BACON bottom BEEF STEAK 1-inch thick middle middle CHICKEN Pieces FISH bottom middle CHART TOTAL TIME (MINUTES) BROIL at 400_F 7 to 10 minutes (well) BROIL 15 to 20 minutes BROIL 20 to 25 minutes (reed) BROIL at 450°F 30 to 45 minutes BROIL (well) (well) 8 to ! 5 minutes (flaky) HAMBURGERS 3/4-inch thick middle BROIL 14to 18 minutes (well) ABOUT YOUR OVEN BAKING TIPS ROASTING TIPS BROILING TIPS Use a reliable recipe and accurately measure fresh ingredients. Carefully follow directions for oven temperature and cooking time. Preheat oven if recommended. Roasting is the metl_ od for cooking large, tender cuts of meat uncovered, without adding moisture. Most meats are roasted at 325°E It is not necessary to preheat the oven. Broiling is used for tender cuts of meat or marinated meats, poultry, fish and some fruits and vegetables. •The food is placed directly under the burner. Use the correct rack position. Baking results may be affected if the wrong rack position is used. Place the meat fat-side-up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Placing the meat on a rack holds it out of the drippings, thus allowing better heat circulation for even cooking. As the fat on top of the roast melts, the meat is basted naturally, eliminating the need for additional basting. Cooking time is determined by the desired degree of aloneness and the distance between the food and the burner. • Top browning may be darker if food is located toward the top of the oven. • Bottom browning may be darker if food is located toward the bottom of the oven. Bakeware material plays an important part in baking results. Always use the type and size of pan called for in the recipe. Cooking times or cooking results may be affected if the wrong size is used. Shiny metal pan reflects heat away from the food, produces lighter browning and a softer crust. Use shiny pans for baking cakes or cookies. Dark metal pan or a pan with an anodized (dull) bottom absorbs heat, produces darker browning and a crisper crust. Use this type of pan for pies, pie crusts or bread. • If using oven-proof glassware, or dark pans such as Baker's Secret reduce the oven temperature by 25°F except when baking pies or bread. Use the same baking time as called for in the recipe. If using insulated bakeware, expect cooking times to increase slightly. It is not necessary to adjust the oven temperature. If you add additional ingredients or alter the recipe, expect cooking times to increase or decrease slightly. The cooking time is determined by the weight of the meat and the desired doneness. For more accurate results, use a meat thermometer. Insert it so the tip is in the center of the thickest part of the meat. It should not touch fat or bone. Remove the roast from the oven when the thermometer registers the desired doneness. NOTE: For more information about food safety, call USDA's Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-800+535-4555. For cooking information, write to the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, 444 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Itlinois 60611, or ca]l 1-800-368-3138. For best results, steaks and chops should be at least 3!4-inch thick. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive spattering or smoking. Cut slashes in the outer edges of the fat to prevent curling during cooking. Use a broiler pan with an insert designed to drain excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface. This is to prevent spatters and smoke. For a brown exterior and rare interior, meat should be close to the burner. For well-done meat, place the broiler pan farther from the burner. Increasing the distance between the meat and the burner will help reduce spattering and smoking. Foods that require turning should be turned only once during broiling+ Turn after half the recommended cooking time. ABOUT CLEANING PRODUCTS Read and carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Pilot Ignition To light oven pilot; When cool, remove oven racks and oven bottom. With the oven thermostat knob in the OFF position, hold a lighted match to the pilot located at the back end of the oven burner. Once the pilot lights, replace oven bottom and racks. To replace: Insert the two pins on the back of the cooktop into the holes in the backguard. Lower the top into place applying pressure at the front edges to secure top to the range. BURNER GRATES CAUTION: Do net operate a surface burner without a pan on the grate. The porcelain finish on the grate may chip without a pan to absorb the intense heat from the burner flame. Burner grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Burner grates are durable but may gradually lose their shine due to usage and high temperatures. Grates for the porcelain cooktop are square. When installing square grates, place indented sides together so straight sides are at front and rear. Pilotless Ignition With this type of ignition system, a gro bar will light the oven burner. The oven will not operate during a power failure or if the oven is disconnected from the wall outlet. NOTE: A lighted match will not light the burner. No attempt should be made to operate oven during a power failure. SURFACE BURNERS Surface burners are secured in peace during transportation with a shipping screw. COOKTOP The cooktop featuring conventional surface burners lifts up for easy cleaning of the burner box area. To remove: When cool, first remove grates ancJdrip bowie, if equipped.
