Safety 5
Important safety instructions
Important instructions for using your
cooktop
WARNING
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.
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 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.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
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,
o
and does not extend over adjacent surface
burners.
Never leave surface burners unattended at
high heat settings- 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 surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except
as suggested in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in 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 cook top
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cook top
use.
Important instructions for using your
oven
Use care when opening oven door or lower
oven drawer (if equipped)- Stand to the side of
the range when opening the door of a hot oven.
Let hot air or steam escape before you remove
or replace food in the oven.
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.The
oven vent is located below the backguard.
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 racks.Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. 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 heating elements in
the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
Do not use the broiler pan without insert.The
broiler pan and insert allows dripping fat to drain
and be kept away from the high heat of the
broiler.
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum
foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Cold temperatures can damage the electronic
control. When using the appliance for the first
time, or when the appliance has not been used
for an extended period of time, be certain the
unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C)
for at least 3 hours before turning on the power
to the appliance.

* Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free
of grease that could catch firePay particular
attention to the area underneath each surface
element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow
the manufacturer's recommended directions
for use. Be aware that excess residue from
cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and injury.
Self cleaning ovens
* Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts
listed in this Use & Care Manual.Before self
cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and
any utensils or foods from the oven.
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.
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.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.

10 Getting Started
About the griddle (some models)
Your new appliance is supplied with a griddle. Use
the raised grill side of the griddle-Fig. 1- to cook
meats such as sausage, steak, bacon, or other
items that produce grease when cooking. Use the
smooth side of the griddle-Fig. 2- to cook items
such as pancakes, eggs or grilled cheese
sandwiches.
The griddle will perform best on the left side, but
may be used on the right side. Make sure that all
burners are turned off before placing the griddle on
the grates.
Before first use
1. Wash griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then
dry completely.
2. Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire
surface (front and back of griddle).
3. Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven
OFF and let cool before removing.
.
The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to
it from the seasoning process. If desired, wash
the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and
dry completely.
After each use
DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER
After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot
water only.
Dry immediately and apply a light coating of
vegetable oil to griddle before storing.
To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep
uncovered.
Using the griddle
Place either side of the griddle centered over the
left or right side of gas burner grates. Be sure
locking tabs fit properly on top of grates-Fig. 1-.
Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to
medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even
heat distribution during the cooking process.
DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI burner setting.
Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and
prevent even heat distribution.

CAUTION
Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait
until the oven has completely cooled if possible.
Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.
Fig. 4 L
Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow a
space of 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for
proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door,
sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must
be able to circulate around the pans and cookware
in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
The offset -Fig 1- and handle-Fig 3- oven rack
may be used in all of the rack positions. The offset
design provides additional height options. For
maximum available space if preparing a large
turkey, it is suggested to place the rack near the
oven bottom (rack positions 1 or 2) -refer to Fig. 4.
Do not extend the offset rack past the oven door
when in the lowest rack position.
The fully extendable glide racks -Fig. 2- make food
preparation easier. Especially when preparing
heavier dishes. The glide oven rack has 2 glide
tracks that allow you to extend your food away
from the oven effortlessly without rubbing the sides
of the oven wall.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven
racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven
racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 4 -
refer to Fig. 4-. For best results when using a
offset oven rack, place cookware on rack position 2
or3.

Be made of a material that conducts heat well.
Be easy to clean.
Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and
quickly heat is transferred from the surface burner
to the pan bottom. The most popular materials
available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some
types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized
aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting).
* Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors
easily.
Stainless steel -Slow heat conductor with
uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean
and resists staining.
Cast iron -A poor heat conductor however will
retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking
temperature is reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal -Heating
characteristics will vary depending on base
material.
Glass- Slow heat conductor.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points
when home canning with your appliance. Check
with the USDA (United States Department of
Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the
information they have available as well as follow
their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner
bottom.
Use only acompletely fiat bottom cannerwith
no ridges that radiate from the bottom center
when home canning using a ceramic cooktop.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not
exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element
markings or burner. It is 8commended to use
smaller diameter canners on electric coil and
ceramic glass cooktops.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
Use the highest heat seating when first bringing
the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved,
reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain
that boil.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2
different surface cooking areas at the same time.
