WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
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 combuslion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shurt it off if
necessary.
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.
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.
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 remplaced
with a properly grounded, three-prong
outlet in accordance with the National
Electrical Code. Do not use an
extension cord with this appliance.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic
path and out of drafty locations to prevent
pilot outage (on standing pilot models)
and poor air circulation.
Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the range before operating it to
prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packaging material ignite.
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.

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.
These adjustments must
WARNING:
Be careful when you clean the cooktop
because the area over the pilot (on
standing pilot models) will be hot.
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.
Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the oven door, broiler door or
cooktop. They could damage the range
and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
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.
Items of interest to
CAUTION:
Never wear loose fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. Be
careful when reaching for items stored in
cabinets over the tange. Flammable
material could be ignited if brought in
contact with flame or hot oven surfaces
and may cause severe burns.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range broiler or near a cooktop.
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.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.
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.
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.
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 o
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the
oven door, and at the bottom of the range
under the broiler door.
Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving
them where children can reach them.

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.
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
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.
Use only glass cookware that is
recommended for use in gas ovens.
Make sure the broiler pan is in place
correctly to reduce the possibility of
grease fires.
When broiling, if meat is too close to the
flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to
prevent excessive flare-ups.
Never leave jars of fat drippings on or near
your range.
If you should have a grease fire in the

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. SeIect 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 cIeaning time and prevent hazardous
accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spilIovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with
handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
Always use the LITE position (on electric
ignition models) or the HI position (on
standing pilot models) when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
Never leave the surface burners
unattended at high flame settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
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.
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillagc, turn cookware handles toward the
side or back of the range without
extending over adjacent burners.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
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.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
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.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you
do flame foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
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.
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.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat,
especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat
is cool.
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.
Do not leave plastic items on the
cooktop—they may melt if left too close to
the vent.
Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and create a fire hazard.

SURFACE BURNERS
(cont.)
When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot
models), you willl detect a faint odor of gas
as your signal to relight the pilot. When
relighting the pilot, make sure burner
controls are in the off position, and follow
instructions in this book to relight.
If you smell gas, and you have already
made sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot
models), turn off the gas to the range and
call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
Keep range clean and free of
accumulations of grease or spillovers,
which may ignite.
Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the grates, even when the
cooktop is not being used.
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.
FLOORING UNDER THE RANGE
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 loor covering.
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.
Make sure the wall coverings around your
range can withstand the heat generated (up to
200°F) by the range. (See the Installation
Safety Instnictions section).
This wifl aflow 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).
LEVELING THE RANGE
Leveling legs are located on each corner of
the base of the range. Your range must be
level in order to produce proper cooking and
baking results. After it is in its final location,
place a level horizontally on any oven shelf
and check the levelness front to back and
side to side. Level the range by adjusting the
leveling legs or by placing shims under the
corners as needed.

Using the gas surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Surface Lighting lnstructions for Electric Ignition Models
The surface burners on some models are lit by
electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing
pilot Iights with constantly buming flames.
In case of a power failure, you can light
the surface burners on your range with
a match. Hold a lit match to the burner,
then turn the knob to the LITE position.
Use extreme caution when lighting burnes
this way.
The electrode of the spark igniter is
exposed. When one burner is turned
lo 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.
Surface burners in use when an
electrical power failure occurs will
continue to operate normally.
Surface Burner Controls
The knobs that turn the surface burners on and
off are located on the control panel on the front
of the range. The two surface knobs on the left
control the left front and left rear bumers. The
two surface knobs on the right control the right
front and right rear burners.
After Lighting a Bumer
Be sure the burners and grates are
cool before you place your hand, a
pot holder, cleaning cloths or other
materials on them.
After the burner ignites, turn the
knob to adjust the flame size.
Check to be sure the burner you
turned on is the one you want to use.
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.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to LITE (HI on pilot models). On
electric ignition models, you will
hear a little clicking noise—the
sound of the electric spark igniting
the burner.

To Use a Surface Burner
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the
flame extead up the sides of the cookware.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to
heat the handle.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce
heat the flame size on a gas burner should
match Ihe cookware you are using.
Never let the flame estend up the
sides of the cookware.

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
minimun amounts of water.
GIass: There are 2 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.
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
recommendations for cooking methods.
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 satisfctorily if they are used
with rnedium heat as the manufacturer
recomrnends.
Heatproof GIass Ceramic: Can be used
for either surface or oven cooking. It
conducts heat very slowly and cools very
slowy. Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on
gas tanges.

Using the oven.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Oven Control
Your oven is controlled by an OVEN TEMP knob.
It can take up to 90 seconds before the flame
comes on.
After the oven reaches the selected
temperature, the oven burner maintains
the selected temperature.
Power Outage—Electric Ignition Models
CAUTION: Do not make any attemp to
operate the electric ignition oven during an
electric power failure. The oven or broiler
cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas
will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.
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.

The shelves are designed with stop-locks
so when placed correctly on the shelf
supports, they will stop before coming
completely out of the oven and will not
tilt when you are removing food from
them or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf,
pull the shelf out to the bump on the
shelf support. Place the cookware on the
shelf, then slide the shelf back into the
oven. This will eliminate reaching into
the hot oven.
To remove the shelves from the oven, pull
them toward you, tilt front end upward
and pull them out.
To replace, place shelf on shelf support
with stop-locks (curved extension of
shelf) facing up and toward back of oven.
