IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Recognize safety symbols, words and labels Safety items throughout this manual are labeled with a WARNING or CAUTION based on the risk type as described below: WARNING This symbol alerts you to situations that may cause serious body harm, death or property damage. CAUTION This symbol alerts you to situations that may cause bodily injury or property damage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Remove all tape and packaging before using the range. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with packaging material. • Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223- latest edition, or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1 and CAN/GGA B149.2, and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Important instructions for using your cooktop WARNING Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency. • Know which knob controls each surface burner.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Important cleaning instructions • Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate. • Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

Surface Cooking Cookware Using proper cookware The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire burner grate surface. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.
Surface Cooking Before setting surface burners (con’t) On round style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure 1,) should fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level. Refer to Figures 2 and 3 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement. Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Figure 4) to be sure it is centered and firmly seated. When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner cap click.
Surface Cooking Setting surface burners Surface burner positions 1. Push the desired gas surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 1). 2. Turn knob to (lite) position. Visually check 2 that the needed burner has lit. 5 3. To adjust, turn counterclockwise to a flame size setting that best fits your need. 3 1 1 4 2 3 4 5 1. Standard burner -9.5K BTU- best for most surface cooking requirements. Fig.
Oven Cooking Oven racks CAUTION Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns. Air circulation in the oven For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation. Be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity.
Oven Cooking Luxury Glide™ oven racks IMPORTANT Remove ALL oven racks before starting a selfclean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the Luxury-Glide™ oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish. Clean oven racks according to the instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section. The fully extendable Luxury-Glide™ rack makes food preparation easier.

Setting Oven Controls Cook time The cook time feature is used when a recipe calls for a specific temperature and cook time. Following the recipe’s suggested cook time can help ensure the best possible results. The maximum cook time setting is 11 hours, 59 minutes. Cook time instructions may be set with the following features: When the cook time runs out: "End" will appear in the display window and the oven will shut-off automatically (Figure 2).
Setting Oven Controls Setting cook time with end time Adding a cook time with a specific end time gives the same benefits as the cook time option in addition to controlling exactly when the cooking process will begin and end. Cook time and end time instructions may be set with the following features: Fig. 1 • Slow cook Once START is pressed, the oven will calculate the delayed start time. Once the delayed start time has passed, the oven will automatically turn on and heat to the set temperature.
Setting Oven Controls Broil Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. To set broil with the factory default temperature setting of 550°F / 288°C: Example The following oven temperature settings apply to the broil feature: Step • Factory default temperature: 550°F / 288°C 1. Place the broiler insert on the broiler pan, then place the meat on the insert. Remember to follow all warnings and cautions. • Min.
Setting Oven Controls Broil (con’t) The broil pan insert has slots that allow grease and fat from the meat to drain into the broil pan.

If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.
Self-clean Setting self-clean A self-cleaning oven automatically cleans itself using much higher temperatures than those used for cooking. The self-clean feature eliminates soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash that you can later easily wipe away with a damp cloth. The self-clean function provides 3 different clean time settings for self-cleaning. Set clean for 2 hours for light, 3 hours for normal or 4 hours for heavier soils.
Self-clean Setting self-clean (cont’d) Setting delayed self-clean To cancel self-clean: You may wish to set your appliance to perform a self-clean cycle later (up to 12 hours later). The end time key will determine when the cleaning will stop. 1. Press thecancel key. 2. If the self-clean cycle has heated the oven to a high temperature, "Hot" (Figure 1) will show in the display. Allow enough time for the oven to cool and for the "door OPn" message to display (Figure 2).
Care and Cleaning Cleaning Recommendations Surface Type Cleaning Recommendation • Control knobs (some models) • Painted body parts • Painted decorative trim • Aluminum, plastic or vinyl trim For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto soil. Leave on soil for 30-60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners these surfaces; they can scratch.
Care and Cleaning Cleaning cooktop and parts CAUTION • Do not remove any parts from the cooktop until they have completely cooled and are safe to handle.

Care and Cleaning Aluminum foil and oven liners Do not use oven bottom liners or use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. CAUTION Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire. Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven.
Care and Cleaning Removing the oven door CAUTION To prevent possible burns, do not attempt to remove the oven door until the oven has completely cooled. K LOC IMPORTANT The oven door is heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door. Do not lift the oven door by the handle. Fig. 2 1. Open oven door completely (Figure 1). 2. Pull the hinge locks on both left and right hinges down from the oven frame completely towards the oven door (Figure 2).
