ange Safety

You will be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your

appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the

word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,

and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

wDANGER

wWARNING

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,

electrical shock, injury to persons, or

damage when using the range, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

• WARNING – TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE,

THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY

PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP

DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE

DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY,

SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK

FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY

ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE

RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT

IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.

• CAUTION – Do not store items of

interest to children in cabinets above a

range or on the backguard of a range –

children climbing on the range to reach

items could be seriously injured.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Proper Installation – The range, when

installed, must be electrically grounded

in accordance with local codes or, in

the absence of local codes, with the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

Be sure the range is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician.

• This range is equipped with a

three-prong grounding plug for your

protection against shock hazard and

should be plugged directly into a

properly grounded receptacle. Do not

cut or remove the grounding plug from

this plug.

• Disconnect the electrical supply before

servicing the appliance.

• Never Use the Range for Warming or

Heating the Room.

Range Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children

should not be left alone or unattended in

area where the range is in use. They

should never be allowed to sit or stand

on any part of the range. Injuries may

result from the misuse of appliance doors

or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or

sitting on the doors or drawers.

• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or

hanging garments should never be worn

while using the range.

• User Servicing – Do not repair or replace

any part of the range unless specifically

recommended in the manual. All other

servicing should be referred to a qualified

technician.

• Maintenance – Keep range area clear and

free from combustible materials, gasoline,

and other flammable vapors and liquids.

• Storage in or on the Range – Flammable

materials should not be stored in an oven

or near surface units.

• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires –

Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical

or foam-type extinguisher.

• Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp

potholders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from steam. Do not let potholder

touch hot heating elements. Do not use

a towel or other bulky cloth.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR

AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units

may be hot even though they are dark in

color. Areas near surface units may

become hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch, or let

clothing or other flammable materials

contact surface units or areas near units

until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Among those areas are the cook-top and

surfaces facing the cook-top.

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

• Use Proper Pan Size – The range is

equipped with one or more surface units

of different size. Select utensils having

flat bottoms large enough to cover the

surface unit heating element. The use of

undersized utensils will expose a portion

of the heating element to direct contact

and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of utensil to burner

will also improve efficiency. Top burner

flame size should be adjusted so it does

not extend beyond the edge of the

cooking utensil.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended

at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes

smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite.

• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls

Are in Place – Absence of these pans or

bowls during cooking may subject wiring

or components underneath to damage.

• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum

foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven

bottoms, except as suggested in the

manual. Improper installation of these

liners may result in a risk of electric

shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain

types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,

earthenware, or other glazed utensils

are suitable for range-top service

without breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned

Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent

Surface Units – To reduce the risk of

burns, ignition of flammable materials,

and spillage due to unintentional contact

with the utensil, the handle of a utensil

should be positioned so that it is turned

inward, and does not extend over

adjacent surface units.

Range Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

• Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot

air or steam escape before removing or

replacing food.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers

– Build-up of pressure may cause

container to burst and result in injury.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

• Placement of Oven Racks – Always

place oven racks in desired location

while oven is cool. If rack must be

moved while oven is hot, do not let

potholder contact hot heating element

in oven.

• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS

OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN –

Heating elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Interior

surfaces of an oven become hot

enough to cause burns. During and

after use, do not touch, or let clothing

or other flammable materials contact

heating elements or interior surfaces

of oven until they have had sufficient

time to cool. Other surfaces of the

appliance may become hot enough to

cause burns – among these surfaces

are oven vent openings and surfaces

near these openings, oven doors, and

windows of oven doors.

For self-cleaning ranges –

• Do Not Clean 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

commercial oven cleaner or oven liner

protective coating of any kind should be

used in or around any part of the oven.

• Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.

• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven –

Remove broiler pan and other utensils.

Wipe off all excessive spillage before

initiating the cleaning cycle.

For units with ventilating hood –

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently –

Grease should not be allowed to

accumulate on hood or filter.

• When flaming foods under the hood, turn

the fan off. The fan, if operating, may

spread the flame.

The oven vent

Hot air and moisture escape from the oven

through a vent in the center rear of the

cooktop. Do not block the vent by using

large pans or covers. Poor baking/roasting

and combustion can result.

The storage drawer

You can remove the storage drawer to make

it easier to clean under the range. Use care

when handling the drawer.

Removing the storage drawer:

1. Empty drawer of any pots and pans

before removing drawer. Use recessed

area on top edge of drawer to pull drawer

straight out to the first stop. Lift front and

pull out to the second stop.

2. Lift back slightly and slide drawer all the

way out.

wWARNING

This section tells you how to operate the controls to the cooktop. It also discusses how

the sealed gas burner cooktop works, and includes tips on how to cook with and

maintain the cooktop.

Using the surface burners

Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with

an auto-reignition system. The sealed

burners spread the heat evenly across the

bottom of the cookware and provide infinite

heat control. The auto-reignition system

senses when a burner flame has gone out

and will automatically reignite that burner.

IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set

for use with Natural Gas. If you wish to

use L.P. gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit

is included with your new range. See the

appropriate section of the Installation

Instructions for details on making this

conversion.

When to use the right rear

and left front burners:

Use these burners for cooking large quanti-

ties of food, deep-fat frying, or cooking with

large cookware.

When to use the left rear and

right front burners:

Use these burners for simmering or for cook-

ing smaller quantities of food requiring small

cookware.

How to use the surface burners:

1. Grasp the control knob.

2. Push down and turn to HI. The electric

spark ignitor will ignite the gas flowing

into the burner. When you hear a clicking

sound, you know that the ignitors are

working. Gas is flowing as long as knob is

not set at OFF.

3. When the burner is lit, turn the control

knob to the desired flame setting. (See

the guide under “Burner heat settings”

later in this section.) You can turn the

knobs to any of the marked settings. The

ignitor will turn off and the clicking will

stop when the burner ignites.

NOTES:

• The ignitors may click a number of times

before burner lights. This is normal.

• All four burner ignitors will spark regard-

less of which burner you are using.

• Visually check that the burner has lit. If

the burner does not ignite, listen for the

clicking sound. If you do not hear the

ignitor click, TURN THE BURNER OFF.

Check that the service cord is placed

firmly in the wall receptacle. Check for a

tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.

wWARNING

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard

Do not operate with a yellow flame.

Doing so can result in death,

heart attack, or convulsions.

wWARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend

beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not

cooking.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death or fire.

Check that the control knob is pressed

completely down on valve shaft. If the spark

ignitor still fails to operate, call your nearest

authorized KitchenAid servicing outlet.

Proper grounding and polarity are neces-

sary for correct operation of the electric

ignition system. If the wall receptacle does

not provide correct polarity, the ignitor will

become grounded and click every once in

a while, even after the burner has ignited.

A qualified electrician should check the

wall receptacle to see if it is wired with

correct polarity.

Burner heat settings

Use correct burner heat settings (see chart

later in this section). If the heat setting is too

high, it can:

• Char bacon and cause curling.

• Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.

• Toughen liver, fish, and seafood.

• Scorch delicate sauces and custards.

• Cause a boilover.

U sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

In case of a prolonged power

failure

Surface burners can be manually lighted.

1. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn

the control knob to the HI position.

2. After the burner lights, turn the

control knob to the desired setting.

NOTE: Do not leave the cooktop unattended

when cooking during a power failure. The

auto-reignition feature of your cooktop will

not operate during a power failure.

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

range:

• Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides,

and tight-fitting lids.

Cookware tips

• NOTE: For best results and greater fuel

efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cook-

ware in good condition.

• The pan should have straight sides and a

tight-fitting lid.

• Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are

full or empty.

• Pans should be easy to clean. Check to

be sure there are no crevices, rough

edges, or areas where food might collect.

• Use cookware only as instructed in the

cookware’s user instructions. This is very

important for glass cookware because

some can be used only in the oven. Pans

marked as flameware can be used on

surface burners.

• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-

ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

• The pan material (metal or glass) affects

how fast heat transfers from the surface

burner through the pan material and how

evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.

Choose pans that provide the best cooking

results.

• Handles should be made of sturdy,

heat-resistant material and be securely

attached to the pan.

• Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to

help shorten cooking time.

• Start food on higher heat settings, then

set surface burner control on low to finish

cooking.

• Turn on the surface burner only after

placing filled pan on the burner.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or

cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot

surface burner. The cookware could over-

heat, causing damage to the cookware or

surface burner.

Home canning information

The large diameter of most water-bath or

pressure canners combined with high heat

settings for long periods of time can cause

damage to the cooktop.

To protect your cooktop:

• Use a canner/pan which can be cen-

tered over the surface burner. Large

diameter canners/pans, if not properly

centered, trap heat and can cause

damage to the cooktop.

• Do not place canner on two surface

burners at the same time. Too much heat

will build up and will damage the cooktop.

• Start with hot water. This reduces the

time the control is set on high. Reduce

heat setting to lowest position needed to

keep water boiling.

• Refer to your canner manual for specific

instructions.

Caring for your cooktop

Your cooktop is designed for ease of care.

You can do most cleaning with items found

around the home. Cleaning your cooktop

whenever spills or soiling occur will help to

keep it looking and operating like new.

NOTES:

• Before cleaning make sure all controls

are off and the cooktop is cool.

• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion

and ventilation air.

• If knobs are removed while cleaning, be

careful not to spill liquids through holes in

the control area.

• Be careful not to allow moisture to collect

in control area. Moisture could cause

ignitor switches to fail.

Surface burners

• The burner caps should be routinely

removed and cleaned. Always clean

burner caps after a spillover. Keeping the

burner caps clean prevents improper

ignition and an uneven flame.

• For proper flow of gas and ignition of the

burner, DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD,

CLEANING AGENTS, OR ANY OTHER

MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS TUBE

OPENING.

• Occasionally check the burner flames for

proper size and shape as shown later in

this section. A good flame is blue in color.

If flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are

noisy when turned off, you may need to

clean the burners.

NOTE: To check oven burner flames for

proper size and shape, see the Installation

Instructions also included with the range.

U sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

To clean burners and burner caps:

1. Lift the burner cap straight up from the

burner base.

2. Clean burner cap with warm, soapy water

and a sponge. For stubborn stains, clean

with a mildly abrasive plastic scrubbing

pad and powdered cleanser. Do not clean
