IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IIMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR GAS COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before removing the cookware.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface unit heating element. The use of under- sized cookware may expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing or other items. Using the proper cookware on the cooking areas will improve efficiency.
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.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot.
Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Cover the fire with a pan lid or use baking soda.
Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels or other bulky cloths.
Do not heat unopened food containers - Build- up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not touch surface burners or elements, areas near these burners or elements, interior surfaces of the oven, or the warmer drawer (if equipped). Surface burners and elements may be hot even though they appear cool. Areas near surface burners and elements may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they are cool. These areas may include the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent areas, oven door, and oven window.
CAUTION Do not attempt to operate the appliance during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off and the power resumes, electric surface elements may resume operation when power is restored. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and the oven function.

If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook time in the recipe or packaging.
If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.
High altitude Air is drier and air pressure is lower.
Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids evaporate faster.
Foods may take longer to bake.
Doughs may rise faster.
Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as needed.
Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes. Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce evaporation.
Increase bake time or oven temperature.
Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and allow it to rise twice.
Cooking Results
Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.
Result Recommendation
Food too light Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Food too dark Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Cooking Tips
Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.
Cooking Tips
Baking
Rack placement Follow the instructions in Oven Control Features on starting on page 19.
When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven.
Preheat Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food immediately after the beep.
Checking food Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking perfor- mance.
Food placement Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and align them into the cooktop recess.
Figure 4: Proper grate installation
Using Proper Cookware
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure 5). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Figure 6).
Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop before using the surface burners (Figure 4). The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.
Grates should rest flush against each other and against the sides of the recess.
Do not line the area underneath the grates or any part of the cooktop with aluminum foil or with any other lining.
SCC message in display
If the cooktop is used during a self-clean cycle, the oven may turn off. The oven control display will show SCC" for 5 seconds. The oven door will remain locked until the oven has cooled down below cleaning temperature. If the oven is below cleaning temperature, the user can start another clean cycle immediately. If the oven is in cleaning temperature range, another self-clean cycle can be set once the door unlocks (up to 4 hours).
IMPORTANT
NOTE
The size and type of cook- ware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to fol- low the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figure 5 and Figure 6.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
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 and pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that retains 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.
Gas surface burner types
The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quickly and in large amounts increases as the burner size increases.
Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food.
Standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.
The largest burner is best used for bringing large quan- tities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The large burner is located at the right front position on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and set the flame size appropriately for the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.
Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the cooktop.
Do not straddle cookware over two burner areas unless the cookware is specifically designed for that purpose.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT

15
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance may be equipped with many different sized surface burners.
It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate for the cookware size.
The standard size burner or burners may be used for most surface cooking needs.
Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food.
Large burners are best for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature or heating larger quantities of food.
Setting a surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the burner grate.
2. Push the burners surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 7).
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the burner has a steady gas flame.
4. Once the surface burner has a flame, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size setting. Adjust the flame as needed using the knob markings.
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time unless the cookware is specifically designed for the purpose.
DO NOT cook with a surface control knob left in the lite position ( ). The electronic ignitor will continue to spark. Turn the control knob out of the lite position and adjust the flame size.
Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If items melt, they may permanently damage the appearance of the cooktop.
IMPORTANT
Do not place flammable items such as plastic wrappings, spoon holders, or plastic salt and pepper shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface burners.
Figure 7: Surface control knob
When setting a surface control knob to the lite position, all of the electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners may be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to lite. Once the burner ignites, push in and turn knob out of lite then to the desired flame setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.
CAUTION
NOTE
16
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjust- ment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if flame is yellow-orange.
For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Figure 9).
For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be under-cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
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) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning proce- dures.
Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the burner grates.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.
Figure 8: Flame settings
Flame size Type of cooking
High flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Medium flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming
Low flame Keep foods cooking; poaching; stewing
These settings are based on medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Figure 9: Recommended flame settings for cooking
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Figure 8).
CAUTION
17
18
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
Types of oven racks
Flat oven racks may be used for all cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat oven racks
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.

Figure 10: Oven vent
Protective Liners Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. During self clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
If the cooktop is used during a self-clean cycle, the oven may turn off. The oven control display will show SCC" for 5 seconds. The oven door will remain locked until the oven has cooled down below cleaning temperature. If the oven is below cleaning temperature, the user can start another clean cycle immediately. If the oven is in cleaning temperature range, another self-clean cycle can be set once the door unlocks (up to 4 hours).
WARNING
IMPORTANT
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish.
To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
On models with self cleaning feature: A self cleaning oven cleans itself with temperatures well above normal cooking temperatures which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperature much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal because the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch.
Do not leave small children unattended near appliance. During self clean cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot and cause burns if touched.
To avoid possible burns, use care when opening the oven door after the self cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
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.
Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self cleaning cycle is complete. The oven may still be very hot.
Figure 15: Clean around the oven door gasket
CAUTION
Adhere to the following self clean precautions:
Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 15). The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the gasket.
Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including cookware.
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils, and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures and will melt.
Completely remove all oven racks and any accesso- ries. If the oven racks are not removed, they will lose their special coating properties and no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity easily.
Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting the self cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high tempera- tures.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water. These areas are shown in white (Figure 15).
Remember the range door cannot be opened until the range has cooled sufficiently. You will need to add about 1 hour to the time displayed before you can use the range for cooking.

CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the sealed burners
To avoid possible burns, do not attempt cleaning before turning off all surface burners and allowing them to cool.
Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized qualified Agency. Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame.
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop:
If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth.
Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To clean burner heads:
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner head (see Figure 17). Clean the cap with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.
2. For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy water to the burner head. Allow time for the soils to soften.
3. Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner head (see Figure 18).
4. Use the toothbrush to clean the slots and holes in the burner (see Figure 18).
5. Use a needle or fine wire to clean out the ignition port (see Figure 18).
6. Wipe the burner head clean with a soft, clean cloth, sponge, or scratch-free cleaning pad.
7. Before using the cooktop again, make sure the burner caps are properly placed and seated on the burner heads. When placed correctly, the burner cap is centered on the burner head and will click into place on the burner head. You can wiggle the cap to test place- ment, it should not move off the burner head (see Assembly of the burner caps on page 13).
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Protective Liners Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements under any circumstances.
Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.
To avoid possible burns do not attempt to operate the surface burners without the burner caps.
Do not use spray oven cleaner on the cooktop.
