Safety and Warnings IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Definitions This is a safety alert symbol. It will alert you to potential personal or property safety hazards. Obey all safety messages to avoid any property damage, personal injury or death. WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death. CAUTION indicates a moderate hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Safety and Warnings To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the appliance, follow the important safety instructions listed below: Electrical Shock Hazard Before removing a faulty oven light bulb, make sure you turn the power to the range off at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. If you don’t know how to do this, contact an electrician. Do not remove the kick strip grate.
Safety and Warnings Explosion Hazard If you smell gas, do not use the appliance. Open a window or door to let the gas escape, then follow the instructions on the inside front cover of this manual. Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result. Turn all burners off, then smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Do not heat unopened food containers such as cans – Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
Safety and warnings Poisoning Hazard Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack or the oven floor with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Clean the appliance with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Safety and Warning IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read all the instructions before using the appliance. Use the appliance only for its intended purpose as described in these instructions. Proper installation – Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Do not operate the appliance if it is damaged or not working properly. If you received a damaged product, contact your dealer or installer immediately.
Safety and Warning Use care when opening the oven door –Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Placement of oven shelves – Always position shelves in the desired location while the oven is cool (before preheating). If a shelf must be removed while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts or potholder contact the base of the oven or hot heating elements in the oven. Do not clean the oven gasket or use any oven-cleaning products on it.

Cooktop Use Guidelines for using the cooktop burners There are dual burners have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle simmering (620 BTU/hr). Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot. Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. Never allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up its sides.
Cooktop Use Surface Burner Ignition Open Cooktop Knob OFF OFF HI HI SIM SIM To light the top burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to the “HI” position. You will hear a clicking noise – the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. Once burner ignition has been achieved, then turn the burner control knob to adjust the the desired heat setting. When one burner is turned to the “HI” position, the burner igniters will park.
Cooktop Use Flame Size When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted. The flame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial operation. Power Failure If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five minutes for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.

Oven Use Oven cooking guidelines Important! Do not block the ducts on the rear of the range when cooking in the oven. It is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air into the oven burner never be interrupted. Avoid touching the vent opening or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation--they may become hot. Use all the oven modes with the oven door closed. Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven shelves or to line the floor of the oven.
Oven Use Oven Function Natural Airflow Bake Occurs when heat is transferred into the oven from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity. Heat is then circulated by natural airflow. This is a traditional bake setting. Infrared Broil The broil burner is located at the top of the oven. This burner heats the metal screen until it glows. The glowing screen produces the infrared heat, searing the outside of broiled foods and sealing in juices.
Oven Use Convection Roast The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Using the cover and broiler pan provided, heated air will be circulated over the around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior. When convection roasting, it is important that you use the broiler pan for best convection roasting results.
Oven Use Broiler Operation Note: Door must be closed during broiler operation. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat directly under the infrared broiler in the oven. Broiling in the oven is accomplished with the oven door closed. It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be present to give the food a broiled flavor. If you open the oven door to check the food, have it open for as short a time as possible. This is to prevent the control panel from overheating.
Oven Use Broiling guidelines Choose a suitable shelf position. To ensure that meat is cooked through rather than just browned on the outside, broil thick pieces of meat and poultry on shelf positions 2 or 3. Use shelf position 4 for thinner items that need less cooking time like steaks, chops, or hamburger patties. When finishing off meals by browning the top under the broiler, use metal or glass-ceramic bakeware.
Griddle Use For the models with Griddle Before Using the Griddle 1. Clean the griddle throughly with warm, soapy water to remove dust or any protective coating. 2. Rinse with clean water and wipe off to dry with soft, clean, lint-free cloth. 3. A stainless steel cover that is sized to fit on top of the surface when the griddle is not being used is provided. Please note that the cover must be removed before turning the griddle on. 4. Make sure the grease tray is under the front edge of the griddle.
Care and cleaning DO DON’T Read these cleaning instructions and the Do not use aerosol cleaners until the ‘Safety and warnings’ section before range has completely cooled. The you start cleaning your range. propellant substance in these cleaners could catch fire in the presence of heat. Before cleaning or removing any part, make sure that everything on the range Do not let soiling or grease accumulate has been turned off. anywhere in or on the range.
Care and Cleaning Parts Care and Cleaning Burner caps and brass flame spreaders Check that the burner is turned OFF and allow it to cool. Lift off the burner cap and brass flame spreader. Wash them in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry. Use a stiff nylon brush or straight-ended paper clip to clear the notches of a flame spreader. Replace the flame spreader and burner cap correctly. To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off controls and ensure the cooktop is cool before cleaning.
Care and Cleaning Bake and broil burners Do not clean these parts. They self-clean during normal use. Porcelain Surfaces Clean oven interior and inner door liners with a solution of mild detergents and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasives or commercial oven cleaners. Oven Window Clean all glass surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Use a mild glass cleaner to remove fingerprint or smears. Dry completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.
