Important READ Safety Instructions AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Gas ranges have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with any appliance, there are specific installation and safety precautions which must be followed to ensure safe and satisfactory operation.

They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. They could be burned or injured. l Do not operate the range if it is damaged or not working properly. l Do not use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start. .
l l Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the range. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking. Burn, Fire, and Explosion l RECOMMENDED SETTING LITE HI l l l Medium l l l l LO l USE To light the burner. After the burner lights, turn control back to a desired setting. l To start foods cooking. To bring liquids to a boil. To hold a rapid boil. To fry chicken or pancakes. For gravy, pudding and icing.
l l l Pans should be easy to clean. Check to be sure there are no crevices, rough edges or areas where food might collect. Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are full or empty. Use cookware only as it was intended to be used. Follow pan instructions. This is very important for glass cookware because some should be used only in the oven. Other pans are marked as flameware and may be used on the surface burners.
Extra oven rack (roasting rack) position When roasting food too large to be placed in oven with rack in lowest position, place rack on bottom of oven. For proper roasting, follow these guidelines: l The rack must be level. l Use adequate amount of liquid (meat juices or water) so food does not get overdone. l Do not try to pull rack out over door. Rack will be at the same level as door when door is opened.
Lighting standing pilots (models FGP320Y, FGP320A, FLP320A, and FLP3lOY) To light range pilots: 1. Make sure all controls are turned off. 2. Remove the surface burner grates from the cooktop. Lift the cooktop. (See “Liftup cooktop” on page 18.) 3. To light, hold a lit match over the pilot light located between the front and back burners. The pilot flame should be l/4 to 3/ain (.6-l cm) high. 4.
Baking/roasting NOTE: Do not attempt to light the oven burner on electric ignition models during a power failure. See “Important Safety Instructions” on page 4 for more information. 1. Position the rack(s) properly before turning on the oven. To change rack position, lift rack at front and pull out. For further information, see “Positioning racks and pans” on page 9. 2. Push in and turn the Oven Temperature Control counterclockwise to the baking/ roasting temperature you want.
Adjusting the oven temperature control Oven temperature controls will gradually shift after years of use. So, even though your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven. If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, you can adjust them by following these steps: 1. Make sure the Oven Temperature Control Knob is turned to the off position. Pull knob straight off and flip it over. 2.
Broiling The broiler drawer is located below the oven door. Always broil with the oven door closed. 1. Pull the broiler drawer open and tilt the door panel down. 2. Place broiler pan grid so grease can drain down ribbing and through slots into lower part of the broiler pan. See picture. 3. Before the broiler is turned on, place food on broiler pan and position the broiler pan at one of the three levels. 4. Close broiler drawer. 5. Push in and turn the Oven Temperature Control counterclockwise to BROIL.
Energy saving tips Although the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your cooking product: l Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides and tight-fitting lids. l Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to help shorten cooking time. l Preheat pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.
The anti-tip brackets ’ The range will not tip during normal use. However, tipping can occur if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the anti-tip brackets properly secured. Personal Injury Hazard *To reduce risk of range tipping over, secure range with properly installed anti-tip brackets supplied with range. l If range is moved for cleaning or service, check that anti-tip devices are engaged before using range.
