I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE 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 death.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE 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.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: NEVER use this appliance 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 stored in cabinets over the range.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE SURFACE BURNERS (continued) • 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 flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder. • When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE 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.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE 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 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.
O P E R AT I N G I N S T RU C T I O N S USING THE GAS SURFACE BURNERS Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model. BEFORE LIGHTING A GAS BURNER • Make sure all burners are in place. • Make sure all grates on the range are properly placed before using any burner. • Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
O P E R AT I N G I N S T RU C T I O N S USING THE GAS SURFACE BURNERS HOW TO SELECT FLAME SIZE For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware. Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using. Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating of the cookware and could be hazardous.

O P E R AT I N G I N S T RU C T I O N S USING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN BEFORE A CLEAN CYCLE For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan Wipe up heavy soil on the or hood. oven bottom. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, probe and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures. NOTE: If your oven is equipped with nickel oven shelves, remove them before you begin the self-clean cycle.
O P E R AT I N G I N S T RU C T I O N S USING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly. HOW TO DELAY THE START OF CLEANING Make sure the clock shows the correct time of day. 1 Touch the SELF CLEAN pad. 2 Using the number pads, enter the desired clean time. 3 Touch the DELAY START pad. The earliest start time you can set will appear in the display. 4 Using the number pads, enter the time of day you want the clean cycle to start.
CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE CARE AND CLEANING Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range. If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury. CAUTION: Do not operate the cooktop without all burner parts and grates in place.
CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE BURNER CAPS AND HEADS BURNER CAPS Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. AFTER CLEANING Burner cap is properly seated. Burner cap is NOT properly seated. BURNER HEADS For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the section that fits over the electrode is kept open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it.
CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE BURNER GRATES Your range has three professional-style grates. These 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. Make sure the front portion of both grates is in front. The middle grate has a bow in front. Make sure the bowed portion is toward the front of the range. CLEANING Lift out when cool.
CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES 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.
CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE OVEN DOOR The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door. TO REMOVE THE DOOR To remove the door, open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges. NOTE: Be careful not Lift the door straight up to place hands and off the hinges. between the hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.
CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE BROILER PAN AND GRID After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad. If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.
CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE REMOVABLE WARMING DRAWER NOTE: Before performing any adjustments, cleaning or service, disconnect the range electrical power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker. Make sure the warming drawer heating element is cool. Most cleaning can be done with the drawer in place. However, the drawer may be removed if further cleaning is needed. Use soap and warm water to thoroughly clean.
