WARNING!  
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.  
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon  
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or  
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize  
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open  
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.  
I Have your range installed and properly  
grounded by a qualified installer, in  
accordance with the Installation Instructions.  
Any adjustment and service should be  
performed only by qualified gas range  
installers or service technicians.  
I Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded  
outlet only. Do not remove the round  
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt  
about the grounding of the home electrical  
system, it is your personal responsibility and  
obligation to have an ungrounded outlet  
replaced with a properly grounded,  
I Do not attempt to repair or replace any  
part of your range unless it is specifically  
recommended in this manual. All other  
service should be referred to a qualified  
technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
I Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path  
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor  
air circulation.  
I Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments  
while using the appliance. Be careful when  
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the  
range. Flammable material could be ignited  
if brought in contact with flame or hot oven  
surfaces and may cause severe burns.  
I Be sure all packaging materials are removed  
from the range before operating it to  
prevent fire or smoke damage should the  
packaging material ignite.  
I Do not store flammable materials in an  
oven, a range storage drawer, a warming  
drawer or near a cooktop.  
I Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by  
a qualified service technician or installer for  
the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be  
used. Your range can be converted for use  
with either type of gas. See the Installation  
of the range section.  
I Do not store or use combustible materials,  
gasoline or other flammable vapors and  
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other  
appliance.  
I Do not let cooking grease or other  
flammable materials accumulate in or  
near the range.  
I
WARNING:  
These adjustments must  
be made by a qualified service technician  
in accordance with the manufacturer’s  
instructions and all codes and requirements  
of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure  
to follow these instructions could result in  
serious injury or property damage. The  
qualified agency performing this work  
assumes responsibility for the conversion.  
I Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick  
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.  
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner  
by covering the pan completely with a  
well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.  
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or  
foam-type fire extinguisher.  
I After prolonged use of a range, high floor  
temperatures may result and many floor  
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.  
Never install the range over vinyl tile or  
linoleum that cannot withstand such type  
of use. Never install it directly over interior  
kitchen carpeting.  
I Flaming grease outside a pan can be put  
out by covering it with baking soda or,  
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry  
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.  
I Flame in the oven can be smothered  
completely by closing the oven door and  
turning the control to off or by using a  
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type  
fire extinguisher.  
I Do not leave children alone or unattended  
where a range is hot or in operation. They  
could be seriously burned.  
I Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang  
on the oven door, storage drawer, warming  
drawer or cooktop. They could damage the  
range and even tip it over, causing severe  
personal injury.  
I Let the burner grates and other surfaces  
cool before touching them or leaving them  
where children can reach them.  
I Never block the vents (air openings) of the  
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet  
that are necessary for the range to operate  
properly with correct combustion. Air  
openings are located at the rear of the  
cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven  
door, and at the bottom of the range under  
the kick panel or storage drawer.  
I
CAUTION:  
Items of interest to  
children should not be stored in cabinets  
above a range or on the backsplash of a  
range—children climbing on the range  
to reach items could be seriously injured.

WARNING!  
SURFACE BURNERS  
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms  
large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain  
the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since  
heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped  
and remain cool.  
I When flaming foods are under the hood,  
turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may  
spread the flames.  
I Always use the LITE position when igniting  
the top burners and make sure the burners  
have ignited.  
I Do not use a wok on the cooking surface  
if the wok has a round metal ring that is  
placed over the burner grate to support  
the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap,  
which may damage the burner grate and  
burner head. Also, it may cause the burner  
to work improperly. This may cause a  
carbon monoxide level above that  
allowed by current standards, resulting  
in a health hazard.  
I Never leave the surface burners unattended  
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause  
smoking and greasy spillovers that may  
catch on fire.  
I Adjust the top burner flame size so it  
does not extend beyond the edge of the  
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.  
I 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.  
I Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.  
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh  
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and  
over the sides of the pan.  
I When using glass cookware, make sure it  
I Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.  
I To minimize the possibility of burns,  
ignition of flammable materials and spillage,  
turn cookware handles toward the side or  
back of the range without extending over  
adjacent burners.  
I Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—  
they may melt if left too close to the vent.  
I Keep all plastics away from the surface  
burners.  
I To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be  
certain that the controls for all burners are  
at the OFF position and all grates are cool  
before attempting to remove them.  
I Carefully watch foods being fried at a high  
flame setting.  
I Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
I Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The  
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable  
items and will increase pressure in closed  
containers, which may cause them to burst.  
I If range is located near a window, do not  
hang long curtains that could blow over the  
surface burners and create a fire hazard.  
I If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range  
and call a qualified service technician. Never  
use an open flame to locate a leak.  
I If a combination of oils or fats will be used in  
frying, stir together before heating or as fats  
melt slowly.  
I Always turn the surface burner controls off  
I Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond  
the smoking point.  
before removing cookware.  
I Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner  
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead  
to damage and improper operation of  
the range.  
I Use the least possible amount of fat for  
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling  
the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers  
when food is added.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…  
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to  
at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against  
foodborne illness.  
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.  
I Do not use the oven for a storage area.  
I When using cooking or roasting bags in the  
Items stored in the oven can ignite.  
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.  
I Keep the oven free from grease buildup.  
I Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.  
If overheated, they can catch fire.  
I Place the oven shelves in the desired  
position while the oven is cool.  
I Use only glass cookware that is  
recommended for use in gas ovens.  
I Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a  
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also  
a precaution against burns from touching  
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The  
lowest position is not designed to slide.  
I Always remove the broiler pan from range  
as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in  
the pan can catch fire if oven is used without  
removing the grease from the broiler pan.  
I Do not heat unopened food containers.  
Pressure could build up and the container  
could burst, causing an injury.  
I When broiling, if meat is too close to the  
flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to  
prevent excessive flare-ups.  
I Make sure the broiler pan is in place  
correctly to reduce the possibility of  
grease fires.  
WARNING:  
NEVER cover  
any slots, holes or passages in the oven  
bottom or cover an entire rack with  
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing  
so blocks air flow through the oven and  
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.  
Aluminum foil linings may also trap  
heat, causing a fire hazard.  
I If you should have a grease fire in the broiler  
pan, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad, and keep  
the oven door closed to contain fire until  
it burns out.  
I For safety and proper cooking performance,  
always bake and broil with the oven door  
closed.  
I Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the  
oven except as described in this manual.  
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or  
damage to the range.

I Before self-cleaning the oven, remove  
the shelves, broiler pan, grid and other  
cookware.  
I Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial  
oven cleaner or oven liner of any kind  
should be used in or around any part of  
the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will  
damage the inside of the oven when the  
self-clean cycle is used.  
I Do not clean the door gasket. The door

Using the gas surface burners.  
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.  
Before Lighting a Gas Burner  
After Lighting a Gas Burner  
I Drip pans are supplied with your range;  
they should be used at all times.  
I Do not operate the burner for an  
extended period of time without  
cookware on the grate. The finish on  
the grate may chip without cookware  
to absorb the heat.  
I Make sure all burners are in place.  
I Make sure all grates on the range are  
properly placed before using any burner.  
I Be sure the burners and grates are cool  
before you place your hand, a pot holder,  
cleaning cloths or other materials  
on them.  
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner  
Make sure all the surface burners are  
placed in their respective positions.  
When one burner is turned to LITE,  
all the burners spark. Do not attempt to  
disassemble or clean around any burner  
while another burner is on. An electric  
shock may result, which could cause you  
to knock over hot cookware.  
Push the control knob in and turn it  
to the LITE position.  
You will hear a little clicking noise—  
the sound of the electric spark igniting  
the burner.  
Push the control knob in and turn it  
to the LITE position.  
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.  
If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue  
to click.  
Sealed Gas Burners  
Medium  
Small  
Your gas range cooktop has four sealed  
gas burners. They offer convenience and  
flexibility to be used in a wide range of  
cooking applications.  
The medium (left rear and, on some  
models, left front) and the large (right  
front and, on some models, left front)  
burners are the primary burners for most  
cooking. These general-purpose burners  
can be turned down from HI to LO to suit  
a wide range of cooking needs.  
The smallest burner in the right rear  
position is the simmer burner. This burner  
can be turned down to a very low simmer  
setting. It provides precise cooking  
performance for delicate foods such as  
sauces or foods that require low heat for  
a long cooking time.

How to Select Flame Size  
Flames larger than the bottom of the  
cookware will not result in faster heating  
of the cookware and could be hazardous.  
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.

Top-of-Range Cookware  
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is  
recommended because it heats quickly  
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an  
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-  
fitting lids when cooking with minimum  
amounts of water.  
Glass: There are two types of glass  
cookware—those for oven use only and  
those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,  
coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat  
very slowly.  
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for  
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts  
heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check  
cookware manufacturer’s directions to be  
sure it can be used on gas ranges.  
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will  
give satisfactory results.  
Enamelware: Under some conditions,  
the enamel of some cookware may melt.  
Follow cookware manufacturer’s  
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor  
heating properties and is usually combined  
with copper, aluminum or other metals for  
improved heat distribution. Combination  
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if  
they are used with medium heat as the  
manufacturer recommends.  
recommendations for cooking methods.  
Stove Top Grills (on models with sealed burners)  
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed  
gas burners. If you use the stove top grill  
on the sealed gas burner, it will cause  
incomplete combustion and can result  
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels  
above allowable current standards.  
This can be hazardous to your health.  
Wok This Way (on models with sealed burners)  
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a  
support ring. Placing the ring over the  
burner or grate may cause the burner  
to work improperly, resulting in carbon  
monoxide levels above allowable standards.  
This could be dangerous to your health.  
We recommend that you use a 14or smaller  
flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom  
sits flat on the grate. They are available at your  
local retail store.  
Use a flat-bottomed wok.  
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.  
In Case of Power Failure  
In case of a power failure, you can light  
the gas surface burners on your range with  
a match. Hold a lit match to the burner,  
then push in and turn the control knob  
to the LITE position. Use extreme caution  
when lighting burners this way.  
Surface burners in use when an electrical  
power failure occurs will continue to  
operate normally.

Using the oven.  
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.  
Before you begin…  
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when  
placed correctly on the shelf supports  
(A through E), they will stop before  
coming completely out, and will not tilt.  
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the  
front end up and pull it out.  
To replace, place the end of the shelf  
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the  
front and push the shelf in.  
When placing and removing cookware,  
pull the shelf out to the bump on the  
shelf support.  
NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out at the  
special low shelf (R) position.  
The oven has 5 shelf positions.  
It also has a special low shelf  
position (R) for extra large items,  
such as a large turkey.  
Oven Vent  
Your oven is vented through ducts at the  
rear of the range. Do not block these ducts  
when cooking in the oven—it is important  
that the flow of hot air from the oven  
and fresh air to the oven burner be  
uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent  
openings or nearby surfaces during oven or  
broiler operation—they may become hot.  
IHandles of pots and pans on the cooktop may  
become hot if left too close to the vent.  
IDo not leave plastic or flammable items on the  
cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left too close  
to the vent.  
Plastic items on the cooktop may  
melt if left too close to the vent.  
IDo not leave closed containers on the cooktop.  
The pressure in closed containers may increase,  
which may cause them to burst.  
Vent appearance and location vary.  
IMetal items will become very hot if they are left  
on the cooktop, and could cause burns.  
Power Outage  
If the oven is in use when a power failure  
occurs, the oven burner shuts off and  
cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This  
is because the flow of gas is automatically  
stopped and will not resume when power  
is restored until the glow bar has reached  
operating temperature.  
CAUTION:  
Do not make any  
attempt to operate the electric ignition oven  
during an electrical power failure.  
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during  
a power failure. Gas will not flow unless  
the glow bar is hot.

Preheating and Pan Placement  
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.  
To preheat, set the oven at the correct  
temperature. Preheating is necessary for  
good results when baking cakes, cookies,  
pastry and breads.  
Baking results will be better if baking pans  
are centered in the oven as much as  
possible. Pans should not touch each other  
or the walls of the oven. If you need to use  
two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not  
directly above the other, and leave

approximately 112between pans, from  
the front, back and sides of the wall.  
Aluminum Foil  
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch  
a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of  
foil on a lower shelf several inches below  
the food.  
Never cover the oven bottom with  
aluminum foil.  
You can use aluminum foil to line the  
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,  
you must mold the foil tightly to the  
grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.  
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum  
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation  
and result in poor baking.  
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.  
Oven Moisture  
As your oven heats up, the temperature  
change of the air in the oven may cause  
water droplets to form on the door glass.  
These droplets are harmless and will  
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!  
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to  
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.  
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.  
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.  
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained  
in memory after a power failure.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!  
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you  
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.  
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat  
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.  
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the  
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor  
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least  
70% vegetable oil.

The burner grates and drip pans (if so  
equipped) can be lifted off, making them  
easy to clean.  
Do not use steel wool because it will clog  
the surface burner openings and scratch  
the surface burners. If the holes become  
clogged, clean them with a sewing needle  
or twist-tie.  
CAUTION: Do not operate the  
cooktop without all burner parts,  
drip pans (on some models) and  
grates in place.  
The holes in the surface burners of your  
range must be kept clean at all times for  
proper ignition and an even, unhampered  
flame.  
Before putting the surface burner back,  
shake out excess water and then dry it  
thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven  
for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the  
range, making sure it is properly seated  
and level.  
You should clean the surface burners  
routinely, especially after bad spillovers,  
which could clog these holes.  
Wipe off surface burners. If heavy spillover  
occurs, remove the surface burners from  
the range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift  
up the cooktop and then lift out the surface  
burners.  
Check the flame pattern of each burner.  
If the flames are “jumpy” (not steady),  
clean the holes again with a sewing needle  
or twist-tie.  
Clean these holes thoroughly on  
each burner.  
Drip Pans (on some models)  
Remove the grates and lift out the drip  
pans. Drip pans can be cleaned in a  
dishwasher or by hand.  
Place them in a covered container. Add  
1/4 cup ammonia and let soak several  
hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.  
CAUTION: Do not clean the drip pans in a  
self-cleaning oven.  
When replacing the drip pans, make sure  
they are in the correct position.

Burner Grates  
Lift out when cool. Grates should be  
washed regularly and, of course, after  
spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water  
and rinse with clean water. When replacing  
the grates, be sure they are positioned  
securely over the burners.  
To get rid of burned-on food, place the  
grates in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup  
ammonia and let them soak several hours  
or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.  
Although they are durable, the grates  
will gradually lose their shine, regardless  
of the best care you can give them. This is  
due to their continual exposure to high  
temperatures. You will notice this sooner  
with lighter color grates.  
On models with professional-style double  
grates, the 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. For convenience, the  
undersides of the left and right grates are  
marked “LEFT FRONT” and “RIGHT  
FRONT.”  
NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning oven.  
Do not operate a burner for an extended  
period of time without cookware on the  
grate. The finish on the grate may chip  
without cookware to absorb the heat.  
Cooktop Surface  
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel  
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it  
from becoming dull, clean up spills right  
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,  
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with  
high sugar content could cause a dull spot  
if allowed to set.  
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in  
an oven or near the cooktop. Do not store or  
use combustible materials, gasoline or other  
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity  
of this or any other appliance.  
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner  
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage  
and improper operation of the range.  
When the surface has cooled, wash and  
rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings,  
etc., wash with soap and water once the  
surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish  
with a dry cloth.  
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)  
clean the appliance, wash the surface with  
dish soap and water prior to using the  
CERAMA BRYTE® Stainless Steel Appliance  
Cleaner. After washing the surface with dish  
soap and water, use a generous amount of  
CERAMA BRYTE® Stainless Steel Appliance  
Cleaner to clean the appliance.  
Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch  
the surface.

Care and cleaning of the range.  
Lift-Off Oven Door  
I The area outside the gasket can be  
cleaned with a soap-filled scouring pad.  
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may  
need help removing and replacing the door.  
To clean the outside of 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.  
I Use soap and water to thoroughly clean  
the top, sides and front of the oven door.  
Rinse well. You may also use a glass  
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside  
of the door.  
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the  
hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could  
snap back and pinch fingers.  
I Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato  
sauces and basting materials containing  
acids may cause discoloration and should  
be wiped up immediately. When the  
surface is cool, clean and rinse.  
Lift the door straight up and off  
the hinges.  
To replace the door, make sure the hinges  
are in the special stop position. Position  
the slots in the bottom of the door squarely  
over the hinges. Then lower the door  
slowly and evenly over both hinges at the  
same time. If the hinges snap back against  
the oven frame, pull them back out.  
I Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing  
powders or harsh abrasives on the  
outside of the door.  
To clean the inside of the door:  
The gasket is designed with a gap  
at the bottom to allow for proper  
air circulation.  
I Do not allow excess water to run into  
any holes or slots in the door.  
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—  
it has an extremely low resistance  
to abrasion.  
I Because the area inside the gasket is  
cleaned during the self clean cycle, you  
do not need to clean this by hand. Any  
soap left on the liner causes additional  
stains when the oven is heated.  
If you notice the gasket becoming  
worn, frayed or damaged in any way  
or if it has become displaced on the  
door, you should have it replaced.  
Oven Bottom  
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel  
finish. To make cleaning easier, protect  
the oven bottom from excessive spillovers  
by placing a cookie sheet on the shelf  
below the shelf you are cooking on. This is  
particularly important when baking a fruit  
pie or other foods with a high acid content.  
Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are  
highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut,  
and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice)  
may cause pitting and damage to the  
porcelain enamel surface and should be  
wiped up immediately.  
We don’t recommend using aluminum foil  
on the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if  
the holes are blocked and it can concentrate  
heat at the bottom of the oven, resulting in  
poor baking performance.  
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,  
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring  
pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before  
self-cleaning.  
Broiler Pan and Grid  
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.  
The broiler pan and grid may be cleaned  
with a commercial oven cleaner.  
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be  
cleaned in a dishwasher.  
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid  
anywhere in the range.  
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.  
Pan  
CAUTION:  
Do not clean the broiler  
pan or grid in a self-cleaning oven.

Lift-Up Cooktop (on models with standard twin burners)  
Clean the area under the cooktop often.  
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch  
on fire.  
Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy  
water and a clean cloth. If you removed  
your surface burners while cleaning,  
make sure they are properly seated when  
replacing them.  
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may  
be lifted up.  
After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be  
careful not to pinch your fingers).  
Some models have dual support  
rods that will hold the cooktop up  
while you clean underneath it.  
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner  
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage  
and improper operation of the range.  
To raise the cooktop:  
Be sure the burners are turned off.  
Remove the grates.  
Grasp the two front burner wells and  
lift up.  
Removable Kick Panel (on some models)  
The kick panel may be removed for  
cleaning under the range.  
To remove:  
Lift up the bottom of the panel slightly to  
disengage the panel from the tabs at the  
base of the range. Pull the bottom of the  
panel forward until the spring clips are  
released at the top of the panel.  
To replace:  
Insert the two slots at the bottom of the  
panel onto the two tabs at the base of the  
range, and push the top of the panel  
forward to engage the spring clips.  
Removable Storage Drawer (on some models)  
The storage drawer is a good place to store  
cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics  
and flammable material in the drawer.  
To remove storage drawer:  
Pull drawer straight out until it stops.  
Tilt the front of the drawer up and  
free of the range.  
The storage drawer may be removed  
for cleaning under the range. Clean the  
storage drawer with a damp cloth or  
sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or  
scouring pads.  
To replace storage drawer:  
The storage drawer may be removed  
for cleaning under the range.  
Set the stops on the back of the drawer  
over the stops in the range.  
Slide drawer evenly and straight back,  
so that the rails in the range are

range. They provide the air inlet and outlet  
that are necessary for the range to operate  
properly with correct combustion.  
Vent appearance and location vary.  
Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs  
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel  
after each use of the oven. Use a damp  
cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use  
mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of  
vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean  
water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.  
The control knobs may be removed for  
easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it  
straight off the stem. If knob is difficult to  
remove, place a towel or dishcloth between  
the knob and control panel and pull gently.  
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a  
vinegar and hot water solution.  
Pull the knob straight off the stem.  
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid  
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven  
cleaners on the control panel—they will  
damage the finish.  
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and  
water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives,  
ammonia, acids or commercial oven  
cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.  
Do not bend knobs by pulling them up or  
down or by hanging a towel or other such  
loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.

Oven Shelves  
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser  
or scouring pad. After cleaning, rinse the  
shelves with clean water and dry with a  
clean cloth.  
If the shelves ever become hard to slide,  
wipe the shelf edges or oven shelf supports  
with vegetable oil.  
NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you  
begin the self-clean cycle or they may discolor.  
Oven Light Replacement  
Do not touch hot bulb with a wet  
cloth. Replace bulb with a 40-watt  
household appliance bulb.  
CAUTION:  
Before replacing your  
oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to  
the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.  
Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool

LOCATION  
WARNING!  
ANTI-TIP DEVICE  
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong  
drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range  
should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the  
base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion  
and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or  
woodwork.  
All ranges can tip and injury could result.  
To prevent accidental tipping of the range,  
attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the  
wall. (See Installing the Anti-Tip Device in this  
section.) To check if the device is installed  
and engaged properly, carefully tip the range  
forward. The Anti-Tip device should engage  
and prevent the range from tipping over.  
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy  
and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned  
vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range  
on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the  
following simple and inexpensive instructions be  
followed to protect your floor.  
If you pull the range out from the wall for  
any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device  
is engaged when you push the range back  
against the wall.  
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood  
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at  
the front of the range, the area that the range will rest  
on should be built up with plywood to the same level or  
higher than the floor covering.  
I For your safety, never use your range for warming  
or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are  
not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners  
should not be operated without cookware on the  
grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage  
to your range and will void your warranty.  
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning  
or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will  
withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions  
section.)  
I Do not store or use combustible materials,  
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids  
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.  
Explosions or fires could result.  
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can  
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range.  
(See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)  
I Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in  
the oven can ignite.  
I Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

(propane or butane), 10of water column.  
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,  
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal  
appliance connector is recommended unless local codes  
require a hard-piped connection.  
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type  
of gas for which it is designed.  
This range is convertible for use on natural or  
propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas,  
conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer  
before attempting to operate the range on that gas.  
Never use an old connector when installing a new range.  
If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully  
align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the  
connection is made.  
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas  
supplied to the regulator must be between 4and 13″  
of water column.  
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or  
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male  
(external) pipe threads.  
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10″  
and 13of water column.  
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in  
an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make  
sure everyone operating the range knows where and  
how to shut off the gas supply to the range.  
When checking for proper operation of the regulator,  
the inlet pressure must be at least 1greater than the  
operating (manifold) pressure as given above.  
B. Install male 1/2flare union adapter to the 1/2NPT  
internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup  
wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.  
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range  
manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of  
whether natural or LP gas is being used.  
B. When installing the range from the front, remove the  
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the  
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2″  
and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada,  
flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors  
no longer than 6 feet in length.  
90° elbow for easier installation.  
C. Install male 1/2or 3/4flare union adapter to the  
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve,  
taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it  
from turning.  
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the  
adapter on the range. Position range to permit  
connection at the shut-off valve.  
E. When all connections have been made, make sure  
all range controls are in the off position and turn on  
the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector  
at all joints and connections to check for leaks in  
the system.  
WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME  
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.  
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to  
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,  
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve  
from the gas supply piping. When using test pressures  
of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply  
isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing  
the individual shut-off valve.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)  
Electrical Requirements  
A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will be  
Disconnected Infrequently.  
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit  
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time  
delay fuse.  
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit. Do not  
use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes  
permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made  
to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the  
use of a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware  
stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned  
with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide  
proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.  
Extension Cord Cautions  
Because of potential safety hazards associated with certain  
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of  
an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an  
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a  
UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension  
cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in  
amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch  
circuit rating.  
Temporary Method  
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)  
Align large prongs/slots  
Grounding  
IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)  
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST  
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.  
Ensure proper ground  
and firm connection  
before use  
Preferred Method  
CAUTION:  
Attaching the adapter ground  
Ensure proper ground  
exists before use  
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not  
ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal,  
and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded  
through the house wiring. The customer should have  
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make  
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.  
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a  
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard  
three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the  
possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.  
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,  
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not  
done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break  
with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE  
the appliance until a proper ground has again been  
established.  
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit  
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the  
receptacle is properly grounded.  
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is  
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and  
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with  
a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.  
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR  
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM  
THE POWER CORD.  
A word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required or  
recommended for gas range receptacles.  
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are devices  
that sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically  
switch off power when a threshold leakage level is  
detected. These devices must be manually reset by the  
consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the  
use of GFCI’s in kitchen receptacles installed to serve  
countertop surfaces. Performance of the range will not  
be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit  
but occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker  
is possible.

CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE  
BURNERS  
B. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will be  
Disconnected Frequently.  
Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be  
checked after the range and gas supply lines have been  
carefully checked for leaks.  
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because  
disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on  
the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter  
ground terminal. The customer should have the 2-prong  
wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding)  
receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the  
appliance.  
Electric Ignition Models  
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in and  
turn to LITE position. You will hear a clicking sound  
indicating proper operation of the spark module. Once the  
air has been purged from the supply lines, burners should  
light within 4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate knob out of  
the LITE position. Try each burner in succession until all  
burners have been checked.  
The installation of appliances designed for mobile home  
installation must conform with the Manufactured  
Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,  
Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile  
Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280)  
or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard  
for Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition  
(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups),  
ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In  
Canada, mobile home installation must be in accordance  
with the current CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile Home  
Installation Code.  
Quality of Flames  
The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be  
determined visually.  
(A) Yellow flames—  
Call for service  
(B) Yellow tips on  
outer cones—  
Normal for LP gas  
Electric Disconnect  
I Locate disconnect plug on the range back.  
I Pinch sides of connector and pull out of range back.  
(C) Soft blue  
flames—Normal for

If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal  
burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending  
on the type of gas you use.  
With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.

CHECK IGNITION OF OVEN BURNER  
The oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically.  
To operate the oven, press the BAKE pad and then press the  
number pads until 350° appears in the display. Touch the  
START/ON pad. After 30–90 seconds, the oven burner will  
ignite and burn until the set temperature is reached. The  
oven burner will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to  
maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the display.  
4
SEAL THE OPENINGS  
Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in  
the floor under the range when hookups are completed.  
To check ignition of the broil burner, touch the BROIL  
HI/LO pad and then the START/ON pad. After 30–90  
seconds, the broil burner will ignite.  
Electric ignition models require electrical power to operate.  
In case of a power outage, the oven burners on these models  
cannot be lit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless  
the glow bar is hot.  
If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the burner  
will shut off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored.

partially filled with water, on one of the oven shelves.  
If using a spirit level, take two readings—with the level  
placed diagonally first in one direction and then  
the other.  
The flames for the top (broil) burner should be steady  
with approximately 1blue cones and should not extend  
out over the edges of the burner baffle.  
C. Remove the storage drawer or kick panel. See the Care  
and cleaning of the range section. The front leveling legs  
can be adjusted from the bottom and the rear legs can  
be adjusted from the top or the bottom.  
D. Use an open-end or adjustable wrench to adjust the  
leveling legs until the range is level.  
To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning  
properly, remove the oven bottom. Flames should have  
approximately 1blue cones and, if range is supplied  
with natural gas, should burn with no yellow tipping.  
(With most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer  
cones are normal.) Flames should not lift off burner  
ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter  
opening until flames are stabilized.  
E. After the range is level, slide the range away from the  
wall so that the Anti-Tip device can be installed.
