CAUTION

PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD

DO NOT

use oversized cookware. The pan should not be more than one

inch larger than the burner grate. The maximum pan size is a 10-inch
skillet. Oversized cookware will cause excessive heat build-up in the
stove top and will result in damage to the burner grate, burner and cooktop.

DO NOT

use a broiler pan, griddle, or any other large utensil which covers

more than one (1) top burner at a time. This will create excessive heat
which may cause melting, sooting or discoloration damage to the burn-
er grates, range top, or utensils.

DO NOT

leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot top

burner. The utensil could overheat and damage the utensil or the cook-
ing appliance.

OVEN OPERATION

ƽ

WARNING

FIRE, EXPLOSION, BURN INJURY,

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

DO NOT

touch any inner surfaces of the oven or oven door, or the wire

rack inside, or any utensils inside the oven during and after use until
these areas have had sufficient time to cool. You could be burned or
injured. During and after use, do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

DO NOT

touch the outer surface of the oven door or the oven vent while the

oven is in use. These areas become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact these
areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

DO NOT

cover the ventilation holes in the oven broiler shelf (shelf above

oven burner). The air circulation inside the oven will be interrupted and
cooking times will vary from normal; food may be burned or under-
cooked.

DO NOT

cover the oven vent openings while the oven is in operation;

restricting the flow of combustion air may create a carbon monoxide
poisoning hazard.

DO NOT

use oven as a storage area.

• If oven pilot should extinguish after initial lighting or due to accidental

blowout, turn oven knob clockwise

ۖ to OFF and wait five (5) minutes

before again attempting to light oven.

1. Check that gas is on at shutoff valve.

MAINTENANCE

ƽ

WARNING

BURN INJURY, FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION

• Make sure all controls are OFF and the range or cooktop is cool

before cleaning.

• Make sure that all cooktop surfaces, burner grates and burners are

cool before cleaning or disassembling cooktop.

DO NOT

use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust removers on the cooktop

or burner grates.

DO NOT

obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

• Keep appliance area clear of combustible materials, gasoline and

other flammable vapors and liquids.

• Clean oven with oven cleaner only. Follow directions on the container.

Never use a wire brush or metallic item for cleaning burner ports
or orifices. Brush may “shed” bristles, that may lodge in the orifice
or burner ports and cause a fire or explosion.

ƽ

CAUTION

PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD

• Clean all surfaces as soon as possible after boil overs or spillovers.
• Use warm soapy water only to clean the burner grates, cooktops, paint-

ed surfaces, porcelain surfaces, stainless steel surfaces and plastic
items on your range or cooktop. Do not use grit or acid-type cleaners.

DO NOT

use steel wool, or abrasive cleaners, or acid type cleaners

such as chlorine bleach on your cooktop or grate systems. They
will damage your range or cooktop. Use only non-abrasive plastic
scrubbing pads.

DO NOT

allow foods containing acids (such as lemon or tomato juice,

or vinegar) to remain on porcelain or painted surfaces. Acids may
remove the glossy finish. Wipe up egg spills when cooktop is cool.

DO NOT

wash warm porcelain surfaces. Allow these areas to cool

before cleaning. You could burn yourself, or the porcelain could crack.

• Pitting and discoloration will result if spills are allowed to remain

for any length of time on stainless steel.

DO NOT

allow spillovers to remain on the burner caps. The caps

could become permanently stained.

When cleaning around the burners, use care to prevent damage to
the electrode (if so equipped). If a sponge or cloth should catch
the metal igniter electrode, it could damage or break the electrode.
If this occurs, the burner will not light.

The owner’s cooking habits and cleanliness will affect the operation
of the range or cooktop. Proper installation and care will help keep
your range or cooktop looking and operating like new. Most cleaning
can be performed using normal household items.

RANGE & SLIDE-IN COOKTOP:
1. To remove the range top:

All Models - Push firmly in the back of the top to slide the entire top
backwards. While the top is slid backwards, lift up on one of the
two front corners (
