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.

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.
