The range must be propery connected to the proper gas suppfy and checked for eaks. The range must aso be propery connected to eectrica suppy and grounded. Gas fues and their use in appiances can cause minor exposures to benzene, formadehyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primariy from incompete combustion. Significant exposure to these substances can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Propery adjusted burners with a bue, rather than a yeow, fame wi minimize incompete combustion. Venting with a hood or an open window wi further minimize exposure. continued on next page 3
Do not store things chidren might want above the range. Chidren coud be burned or injured whie cimbing on it. Do not eave chidren aone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They shoud never be aowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. They coud be burned or injured. Do not operate the range if it is damaged or not working propery. Do not use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons coud be burned or injured, or a fire coud start. Do not attempt to ight the oven burner during a power faiure. Persona injury coud resut. Reset oven contros to the off position in the event of a power faiure. Use the range ony for its intended use as described in this manua. DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR SURFACE BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Areas near surface burners and interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause bums. During and after use, do not touch, or et cothing or other fammabe materias contact surface burners, areas near surface burners or interior surfaces of oven unti they have had sufficient time to coo. Other surfaces of the range may become hot enough to cause bums; such as, the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the cooktop, the oven door and window. Use ony dry pothoders. Moist or damp pothoders on surface burners may resut in bums from steam. Do not et pothoder touch surface burners. Do not use a towe or buky coth for a pothoder. It coud catch on fire. Keep range vents unobstructed. Do not heat unopened containers. They coud expode. The hot contents coud cause burns and container partices coud cause injury. Do not store fammabe materias on or near the range. The fumes can create an exposion and/or fire hazard. Do not use the oven for storage. Never use a match or other fame to ook for a gas eak. Exposion and injury coud resut. Know where your main gas shutoff vave is ocated. When using the cook-top Make sure the utensis you use are arge enough to contain food and avoid boiovers and spiovers. Heavy spattering or spiovers eft on a range can ignite and burn you. Pan size is especiay important in deep fat frying. Check to be sure gass cooking utensis are safe for use on the range. Ony certain types of gass, gassceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other gazed utensis are suitabe for cooktops without breakkrg due to the sudden change in temperature. Never eave surface burners unattended at high heat settings. A boiover coud resutt and cause smoking and greasy spiovers that may ignite. Do not wear oose or hanging garments when using the range. They coud ignite if they touch a hot surface burner and you coud be burned. Turn pan handes inward, but not over other surface burners. This wi hep reduce the chance of bums, igniting of fammabe materias, and spis due to bumping of the pan. Do not use decorative covers or trivets over the surface burners.
When using the oven Aways position the oven rack(s) in desired ocation whie oven is coo. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or repacing food. Grease Grease is fammabe. Do not aow grease to coect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe spiovers immediatey. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a faming pan. Smother faming pan by covering with a we-fitted id, cookie sheet or fat tray. Faming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if avaiabe, a mutipurpose dry chemica or foam-type extinguisher. Care and ceaning Sma amounts of formadehyde and carbon monoxide are given off in the Sef-Ceaning cyce from fibergass insuation and food decomposition. Significant exposure to these substances can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Exposure can be minimized by venting with a hood or open window and wiping out excess food spis prior to sefceaning. Do not use oven ceaners. No commercia oven ceaner or oven iner protective coating of any kind shoud be used in or around any part of the oven.

This section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your range. Using the surface burners Your range is equipped with eectric ignitors. Eectric ignitors automaticay ight the burners each time they are used. Push in contro knob8 and turn them to the LITE position. The cicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Viauey chsck that burner ha8 it. To atop the cicking sound after the burner ights, turn the contro knob to the desired setting. The contro knob has stops for HI, MED and LOW. However, you can set the contro knob anywhere between HI and OFF. Surface burner markers The soid dot in the surface burner marker shows which surface burner is turned on by that knob. Burner heat settings Use correct burner heat settings (see next page). f the heat setting is too high, it can: Char bacon and cause curing. Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges. Toughen iver, fish and seafood. Scorch deicate sauces and custards. Caure a boiover. 7
Unti you get used to the settings, use the foowing as a guide. For best resuts, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the contro knob down to continue cooking. SETTING LTE HI MED LOW RECOMMENDED USE To ight the burner. After the burner ights, turn contro back to a desired setting to stop the cicking of the igniter. To start foods cooking. To bring iquids to a boi. To hod a rapid boi. To fry chicken or pancakes. For gravy, pudding and icing. To cook arge amounts of veaetabes. To keep food warm unti ready to serve. NOTE: Do not cook with the contro in the LITE position. In case of a proonged power faiure Surface burners can be manuay ighted. Hod a it match near a burner and turn the contro knob to the LITE position. After the burner ights, turn the contro knob to the desired setting. Burn, Fire, Exposion and Product Damage Hazsrd Burner fame shoud not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensi. The fame can burn you and cause poor cooking resuts. Be sure a contro knobs are turned to OFF when you are not cooking. Someone coud be burned or a fire coud start if a burner is accidentay eft ON. If the fame shoud go out whie cooking, or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five minutes for the gas odor to disappear before reighting burner. If gas odor is sti present, see safety note on page 3. Faiure to foow these precautions coud resut in exposion or fire. Do not eave an empty utensi, or one which has boied dry, on a hot surface burner. The utensi can overheat and may damage the utensi or cooking product. Cookware tips There is no one brand of cooking utensi that is best for a peope. Knowing something about pan materias and construction wi hep you seect the correct cooking utensis for your needs. NOTE: For best resuts and greater fue efficiency, use ony fat-bottomed utensis that make good contact with the surface burners. Utensis with rounded, warped, ridged (porceain ename-ware) or dented bottoms coud cause severe overheating, which damages the utensi and/or surface burner. Woks, canners and teakettes with fat bottoms suitabe for use on your cooktop are now avaiabe in most stores that se housewares. The pan shoud have straight sides and a tightfitting id. Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairy ightweight. The pan materia (meta or gass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface burner through the pan materia and how eveny heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking resuts. Handes shoud be made of a sturdy, heatresistant materia and be securey attached to the pan. Pans shoud be easy to cean. Check to be sure there are no crevices, rough edges or areas where food might coect. Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are fu or empty. Use utensi ony as they were intended to be used. Foow pan instructions. This is very important for gass cookware because some shoud be used ony in the oven. Other pans are marked as fameware and may be used on the surface burners.
Home canning information The arge diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for ong periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop. To protect your range: For beet resutts, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner. Do not pace canner on two surface burners at the same time. Too much heat wi buid up and wi damage the cooktop. Start with hot water. This reduces the time the contro is set on high. Reduce heat setting to owest position needed to keep water boiing. Positioning racks and pans For baking/roasting with one rack, pace the rack so the top of the food wi be centered in the oven. Rack pacement for specific foods: FOOD Frozen pies, arge roasts, turkeys Ange and bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast breads, casseroes, meats Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, nonfrozen pies RACK POSTON 1 st or 2nd rack guide from bottom 2nd rack guide from bottom 2nd or 3rd rack guide from bottom When baking on two racks, arrange racks on first and third rack guides from bottom. NOTE: For recommended rack pacement when broiing, see Broiing rack position chart on page 15. Persona Injury Hazard Aways position oven rack(s) in desired ocation before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is eve. f rack(s) must be moved whie oven is hot, use pothoders or oven mitts to protect hands. Do not pace items on the open oven door. Be carefu when instaing and removing arge food items from sixth rack position. Food wi be cose to hot surfaces, incuding oven bottom and sides. Faiure to foow the above precautions may resut in persona injury. 6th oven rack position (roasting rack) When roasting food too arge to be paced in oven with rack in owest position, pace rack on bottom of oven. For proper roasting, foow these guideines: The rack must be eve. Use adequate amount of iquid (meat juices or water) so food does not get overdone. Do not try to pu rack out over door. Rack wi be at the same eve as door when door is opened. 6th oven rsck position 9
For best air circuation The hot air must circuate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach a parts of the oven. This resuts in better bating. Pace the pans so that one is not directy over the other. For beet reruta, aow 1 S-2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven was. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm). Use ony one cookie sheet in the oven at one time. Use the foowing as 4 guide to determine where to pace the pans. On4 pan Pace in the center of the oven rack. Two pans Pace in opposite comers of the oven rack. Three or four pana Pace in opposite comers on each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directy over another. 10

Do not pace food directy on the oven bottom. 5. During baking/roasting, the oven burner wi turn on and off to maintain the temperature setting. 6. When baking/roasting ie done, turn both the Oven Seector and the Oven Temperature Contro to OFF. 12
Adjusting the oven temperature contro Oven temperature contros wi graduay shift after years of use. So. even though your new oven is propery adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or sower than your od oven. f, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, you can adjust them by foowing these steps: 1. Turn the Oven Temperature Contro Knob to the off position. Pu knob straight off and fp it over. 2. Loosen the ocking screws inside the contro knob. Note the posit&n of the notches. 3. To ower the temperature, hod knob hande firmy and move the tooth 4 notch cockwise. Each notch equas about 10 F (5 C). 4. To raise the temperature, hod knob hande firmy and move the tooth a notch countercockwise. Each notch equas about 1 O F (5%). Tighten the ocking screws and repace the contro knob. Broiing 1. Position the rack propery before turning on the oven. See Broiing rack position chart on page 15. 2. Preheat the broier for 5 minutes before using. 3. Put the broier pan and food on the rack 4. Competey cose the oven door to ensure proper broiing temperatures. 13
5. Set the Oven Seector to BROIL. Push in and turn the Oven Temperature Contro to BROIL. The broier wi automaticay ight in 50-50 seconds. 6. When brong Is done, turn both the Oven Seector and the Oven Temperature Contro to OFF. Broiing tips Us4 the broier pan and grid for broiing. They are designed to drain excess iquid and fat away from the cooking surface to hep prevent spatter, smoke or fire. If you broi sme quantities, you may want to use a sma broier pan. They are avaiabe in the housewares section of many department stores. For beet broiing resuts, preheat at BROIL for 5 minutes. Do not preheat with broier pan in pace. : Broiing rack position determines how the burner cooks your food. The ower the position, the more broier grid area covered. See Broiing rack position chart on page 15 for more information. To seer meat, pace broier pan at one of the higher rack positions so that meat is very near the fame. Sma steaks may be broied in the higher rack positions. To cook arge steaks and other thick cuts of meat we done, move them to a ower rack position after searing. Refer to a broiing chart in a reiabe cookbook for correct broiing times. After broiing, remove the broier pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings wi bake on the pan if you eave t in the heated oven. Fra Hazard Pace meat the correct distance from the burner. Meat paced too cose to the burner may spatter, smoke, bum or catch fire during broiing. To ensure adequate grease drainage, do not use cookie sheets or simiar pans for broiing. Aso, covering the broier grid with foi is not recommended. Poor drainage of grease may resut in fire. 14

Here are some tips to hep you save energy when using your cooking product. Use pans with fat bottoms, straight sides and tight-fitting ids. Cook with a minimum of iquid or fat to hep shorten cooking time. Preheat pans ony when recommended and for the shortest time possibe. Start food on higher heat settings, then set surface unit contro on ow or off to finish cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when possibe. Use the more eff Kent surface burners instead of the oven when possibe. Turn on the surface burner ony after pacing fied pan on the burner grate. Oven peeking may cause heat oss, onger cooking times and unsatisfactory baking resutts. Rey on your timer to keep track of the cooking time. Bake cakes, pies or cookfes when oven is warm. Best time is after a mea has been cooked in it. Preheat the oven no onger than necessary. Pan your meas for the most efficient use of the range. When using the oven to cook one food, try to cook the rest of the mea in it aso. Do not preheat when roasting or cooking items such as casseroes. 15
Using the automatic MEALTIMER cock The automatic MEALTIMER cock is designed to turn the oven on and off at times you set... even when you are not around.

Like with the other functions of your range, you operate the Sef-Ceaning cyce with the easyto-use contros. Pease review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotess. How the cyce works The Sef-Ceaning cyce uses very high heat to burn away soi and grease. During the cyce, the oven gets much hotter than it does for norma bakfng or broiing. This high heat breaks up the soi or grease and burns it away. We recommend a 3-hour Sef-Ceaning cyce. However, you can adjust the cyce time to the amount of soi in your oven. You can set the cyce anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See Setting the contros on page 20.) The graph at the right is representative of a norma, 3-hour Sef-Ceaning cyce.

Remove any pots and pans being stored in the oven. NOTE: You can cean the broier pan and grid in the oven if you have first removed most of the soi by hand-ceaning or a dishwasher. If most of the soi is not removed, too much smoking wi occur. Wipe out any oose soi or grease. This wi hep reduce smoke during the ceaning cyce. Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You can cean the oven racks in the SeECeaning cyce, but they wi become harder to side. (See page 25.) If you cean racks in the Sef-Ceaning cyce, pace them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted from bottom to top.) -feet and odors are norma during the Sef- Ceaning cyce. Keep the kitchen we ventiated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cyce.
