WARNING WARNING

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your wall oven, follow basic

precautions including the following:

Safety

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawer of this appliance

can result in serious injuries and may also cause damage to the appliance. Do not

allow children to climb or play around the appliance. The weight of a child on an open door

may cause the appliance to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury. An open drawer,

when hot, may cause burns.

Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if equipped) for storage.

• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven,

near surface units or in the drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic and cloth

items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not

store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials

may explode and result in fire or property damage.

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.

Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the

appliance. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the

area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any

part of the appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN

HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER

DRAWER (if equipped). Both surface burners and oven heating elements may be hot

even though surface burner flames are not visible or oven elements are dark in color. Areas

near surface burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do

not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had

sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop,

the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

• Wear Proper Apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while

using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use

baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to

become too hot.

In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to turn off the main gas shutoff valve.

• Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from steam. Do not let the potholders touch hot heating surface units or interior

oven elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build up of pressure may cause the

container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused appliance if it is to be stored or discarded.

• IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the

power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes,

the oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold temperatures. When you

Safety

use your appliance for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time,

make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours

before connecting it to the power supply.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

Use proper flame size—Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond

the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner

flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil

to flame will also improve efficiency.

Do not use stove top grills on the burner grates of sealed gas burners. If

you use a stove top grill on a 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.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan of food on the burner

before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

• Always turn the knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually

check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge

of the utensil.

• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one or more surface burners of

different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface

burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to

direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the

surface unit will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent

Surface Burners—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and

spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of the utensil should be

positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the

appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed

on the food. Any other used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of

electric shock or fire or a short circuit.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,

earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due

to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for

cooktop use.

• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on

the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface burner Covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on,

the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot

covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because the

covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause

combustion problems.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door or Drawer—Stand to the side of the appliance when

opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace

food in the oven/warmer drawer.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented at the front above the oven

door or through the rear of cooktop. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is

operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or

near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven/Warmer Drawer (if equipped) Racks. Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven/drawer (if equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack

before removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use

potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact

the hot oven element or interior of the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat

to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover your broiler or warmer drawer (if equipped) grid with aluminum foil.

Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.

Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and

replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust

fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to

accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's

instructions for cleaning.

• Cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use.

Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/

or injury.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS:

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven listed in this owner's guide.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove all utensils stored in the oven.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care

should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any part of the oven.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks will be damaged if left in the oven during a self-cleaning

cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off

during the self-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

PLACEMENT OF BURNER HEADS AND CAPS

LOCATIONS OF THE BURNERS

For the 18 000 BTU burner :

Place the burner head over the gas orifice (Figure 1). Be careful not to damage the

electrode while placing the burner head over the orifice. Make sure electrode fits correctly

into slot in burner head.

For all burners :

Place a burner cap on each burner head

(see Figure 2), matching the cap size to

the head size. The cap for each burner

has an inner locating ring which centers

the cap correctly on the burner head. Be

sure that all the burner caps and burner

heads are correctly placed BEFORE using

your appliance.

Make sure each burner cap is properly

aligned and level.

Turn the burner on to determine if it will

light. If the burner does not light, contact a

Service Center. Do not service the sealed

burner yourself.

Opening

The cooktop is equipped with different sized burners.

The surface burners are located on the cooktop as follows (See Figure):

-a 5 000 BTU (natural gas) burner located at the right rear position;

-a 18 000 BTU (natural gas) burner located at the right front position;

-a 9 500 BTU (natural gas) burner located at the left front position;

-a 14 000 BTU (natural gas) burner located at the left rear position.

PROPER BURNER ADJUSTMENTS

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and

hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined.

Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions under

General Care & Cleaning.

RIGHT

WRONG

Surface Cooking

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer's instruc-

tions. Some utensils were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.

*GOOD

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan.

Pan is well balanced.

• Pan sizes match the amount of food

to be prepared and the size of burner.

• Made of material that conducts heat

well.

• Easy to clean.

POOR

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

• Pan overhangs unit by more than

2.5 cm (1”).

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Flame extends beyond unit.

Pans should have flat bottoms.

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler

across the bottom. There should be

no gaps between the pan and ruler.

* Specialty pans such as lobster

pots, griddles and pressure cookers

may be used but must conform to

the above recommended cookware

requirements.

SURFACE COOKING UTENSILS

FLAME SIZE

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete

the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types

of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will

influence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If

the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will

brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much

food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

*Flame Size Type of Cooking

High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil;

pan broiling

Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces,

gravies; steam

Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

*These settings are based on using medium-weight

aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using

other types of pans.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil.

A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases

your risk of being burned by the flame.

Setting Surface Controls

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Your cooktop may be equipped with any combination of the following burners:

Simmer Burner: best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

Standard Burner: used for most all surface cooking needs.

Large Burner: best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when

preparing larger quantities of food.

Regardless of size, always select a utensil that is suitable for the amount and type of food being

prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend

beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Your cooktop is also equipped with 270° rotation flame control valves. These valves provide

enhanced control of the burner flame. Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor

when its control knob is turned to the LITE position.

To operate the surface burner:

1. Place cooking utensil on burner.

2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to (LITE). Note: All

electronic ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you

are turning on will ignite.

3. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. Turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not

have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and adjust the flame as

needed. DO NOT cook with the Surface Control knob in the position.

(The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the position, causing

premature wear.)

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit

manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then

slowly turn the Surface Control knob to . Use caution when lighting surface

burners manually.

CACA

UTIONUTION

UTION

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top

of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could

catch fire if placed too close to a flame.

OFF

USING THE GRIDDLE

Figure 1

The griddle is intended for direct food

cooking and can be used on both sides.

Do not use pans or other cookware on

the griddle. Doing so could damage the

finish. With the grate in position over the

burner, set the griddle on top of the

grate positioning the notches in the

griddle over the grate fingers (refer to

figures 1 for optimal positioning).
