NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforce-
ment Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene,
3 carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused pri-
marily by the incomplete
combustion
of natural gas or
LP. fuels.
Properly
adjusted
ranges,
indicated
by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incom- plete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized fu rtherby venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood..

COOKTOP
TO OPERATE CONTROLS--The sign near each cooktop control knob shows which burner is turned on by that knob.
1. Push to turn knob left to LITE.
2. After the burner lights, turn knob to desired flame setting.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the knob on LITE after the
burner lights, or life of the spark igniter may be short- ened.
As a safety precaution you should set controls
so flame
heats pan bottom only
and
does not lick pan sides.
Flames licking pan sides
are
unsafe
and waste
heat,
If a cooktop burner fails to lig ht within five seconds, turn
the knob to OFF and wait one minute before trying again.
If the burner still will not light, check the service section
in this manual.
Watch foods when heating them quickly on HI. As soon as the food reaches cooking temperature, turn down the heat to the lowest setting that wilt keep it cooktng_
High flame
may be used to boil large quantities qulckly_
It is also used to start food cooking quickly in large pans.
Medium flame
may be used for even browning with
little spattering.
It is also used to maintain a boll with large quantities of food.
Low flame
may be used for melting or warming food.
It is also best for cooking small quantities of food.
WOK COOKING
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok.
flat-bottomed woks are available
at your local
retail store.
Do not use woks which have support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous.
Placlntg the ring over the burner g rate may
damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, placing
the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner
to work improperly resulting in carbon monoxide
levels above allowable current standards. This could be dan-
gerous to your health.
See the Safety Section of this manual.
Do not try to use such woks without the ring.
You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

COOKTOP SPARK IGNITION-When you turn the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter makes a series of electric sparks (ticking sound) which light the burner.
During a power failure the burners will not light auto-
maticalty.
In an emergency, a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the steps in the next column.
Be sure that cooktop
and oven burners
are adjusted properly.
See the Installation instructions
packed with
your range for Information. See the cleaning section for
information of cleaning cooktop burners.
A clean, properly adjusted burner will light faster, use less gas and give better cooking results.
OVEN VlENT
When the oven Is on, heated air moves through a vent
behind the cooktop.
On the cooktop, this hot air may make pot handles hot or melt plastic Items left too near the vent.
The vent is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block this vent.
Doing so may cause cooking failure, fire or damage to
the range.

OVEN COOKmNG
D
When cooking a food for the first time In your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide.
Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more apt to be accurate than the oven it replaced.
After you have used your oven for awhile, if you feel
your oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself.
See THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENTS In this manual.
Always follow recipe carefully.
Measure ingredients properly.
Use proper pan placement.
Place pans on the oven racks with 1" to I 112"of air
space on all sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding
the oven.
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the
oven bottom,
block the tree movement of air.
Improper air movement causes uneven browning and cooking.
Cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads should
be baked In shiny pans -to reflect the heat --
because they should have a light golden crust.
Yeast breads and pie crusts should be baked in
glass or dull (non-shiny) pans -- to absorb the heat
because they should have a brown, crisp crusL
Be sure the underside of the pan is shiny, too.
Darkened undersides will absorb the heat and may cause over browning
on the bottom of your food.
2 cake layers
4 cake layers
When baking several items stagger pans so that no
pan is directly
above another.
Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking baked products.
Allow 10 minutes for preheating.
Opening the door too often to check food during baking will allow heat loss and may cause poor baking results.
Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees beiowrecommended temperatures if exterior of pan is predarkened, darkened by age or oven proof glass.
There may be some odor when the oven is first used.
This is caused by the heating
of new parts and
Insulation.
Do not cover an entire oven rack with foil. The foil can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking
l:esults.
Do not place any foil directly on the oven bottom. Foil used on the oven bottom may damage the oven surface; therefore, it should not be used°
Cookies should be baked on flat cookie sheets without sides to allow the air to circulate properly°
When recipes require preheating, have food nearby before you open the oven door.
If the oven door is allowed to remain open for more than a brief time, the preheat temperature will be lost.

BROILING
• Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the broil burner° Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat
should be selected for broiling.
For best results steaks and chops should be at least 3/4" thick.
• After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan on the rack In the lower broiler compartment.
The recommended rack position and cooking time can
be found
in the chart at right.
The closer the food Is to the broil burner, the faster
t he meat browns on the outslde, yet stays red to plnk
in the center. Movlng the meat fartheraway from the
burner lets the meat cook to the center while browning outside.
Side one should be cooked 1 - 2 minutes longer than side two.

ing.
Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your
range for broiling.
They are designed
for proper
drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter,
smoke or fire.
Do not preheat when broiling.
Preheating may cause the thermostat to cycle the broil burner off and on.
For even broiling on both sides, start the food on a cold pan.
Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops.
Slit the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
For maximum
juiciness, salt the first side just before turning the meat.
Salt the second side just before serving.
Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as
they broil, When broiling fish, grease

The rough surfaces In your oven have a continuous-
cleaning finish.
Spatters spread and fill the pores ofthls
special finish and then gradually burn away at medium to high temperatures.
Heavy spillovers or boilovers need a little help from you:
Use clear water and a detergent or a cleanser such as Fantastik®, Liquid Ajax®, Top Job®, Liquid Lysol® or Mr. Clean®, mixed In water, and a soft cloth or
nylon brush to clean any heavy spillovers.
• Do not use paper towels or sponges because particles of these materials will rub off and clog the pores of the oven finish.
Crusty and varnish-like stains clog the pores in the
finish
and must be removed or broken up before cleaning takes place° They can be loosened by
gently
tapping
the stain with a wooden or plastic
utensil.
After cleaning the oven surface, rinse it well using
three tablespoons of vlnegaP mixed with a quart of cold water.
Blot up excess liquid.
•
Never scrape
or use abrasive materials such as scouring powders, commercial oven cleaners or
steel scouring
pads for cleaning up spitlovers. These
materials will scratch and damage the finish.
The remaining soil will gradually burn off with normal
over use.
The oven will appear presentably clean, but some spat-
ters may be present.
The higher the oven temperature, the faster the cleaning action.
Cleaning time depends on type and amount of soil, oven temperature and length of oven use.
If stubborn stains remain after normal oven use, you can operate the oven empty at 400°F for additional continuous cleaning action.

You can protect the oven bottom
from spillovers by
using a piece of foil under your utensil.
