let potholders touch hot elements, hot burners, or burner

grates.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:

• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium

settings.

• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or

when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries

Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

• Clean hood filters frequently. Grease should not be

allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware

appropriate for the size of the cooktop burner.

WARNING

This appliance should not be installed with a ventilation

system that directs air in a downward direction toward the

reproductive harm.

Important Safety Instructions English | 7 |

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting

garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while

using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly

flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

DO NOT use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or

range. Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire

hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and

ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat

will be trapped beneath it. This will upset the cooking

performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the

range.

When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER

GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA.

Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to

cause burns.

Never leave the range unattended when using high flame

settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers

that may ignite. Also, if the burner flames and igniter are

smothered with spillage, unburned gas will escape into the

room. See page 1 regarding gas leaks.

DO NOT heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up

of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause

injury.

Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic,

ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are

suitable for cooking on the range burners. This type of

cookware may break with sudden temperature changes.

Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the

utensil manufacturer’s directions.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN

THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

• Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet,

or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or the

electric element. Be careful to prevent burns. If the

flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call

the fire department.

• Never pick up a flaming pan — You may be burned.

• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or

towels — a violent steam explosion will result.

• Use an extinguisher only if:

• You know you have a class ABC extinguisher and

you already know how to operate it.

• The fire is small and contained in the area where

it started.

• The fire department is being called.

• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

WARNING

RANGE TIPPING HAZARD:

• All ranges can tip and injury can result. To prevent

accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the floor,

wall, or cabinet by installing the Anti-Tip Device

supplied.

• A risk of tip-over may exist if the appliance is not

installed in accordance with these instructions.

• If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning,

service, or any other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip

Device is properly reengaged when the range is

pushed back against the wall. In the event of

abnormal usage (such as a person standing, sitting,

or leaning on an open door), failure to take this

precaution can result in tipping of the range. Personal

injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the

range itself.

WARNING

The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety

considerations, never use the oven or cooktop to warm or

heat a room. Also, such use can damage the cooktop or

oven parts.

WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven

bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as

aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven.

Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire

hazard.

WARNING

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or

warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide

poisoning and overheating of the oven.

Important Safety Instructions English | 8 |

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame

heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend

beyond the bottom of the pan.

Use caution to ensure that drafts like those from forced air

vents or fans do not blow flammable material toward the

flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the

edges of the pot.

Always use pots and pans that have flat bottoms large

enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized pots

and pans could expose a portion of the flame and may

result in ignition of clothing.

To minimize the risk of burns, ignition of flammable

materials and unintentional spillage, position handles of

pots and pans inward so they do not extend over adjacent

work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the range's

cooktop.

DO NOT use pots or pans on the grill plate accessory.

Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets,

etc., should never be used on the cooktop.

DO NOT use flammable cleaners to clean the range.

Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement when

stirring or turning food.

Remove the optional cutting board or griddle cover

accessory, which is stored on top of the griddle plate,

before operating the griddle or any adjacent burners.

GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before

attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits

collect. Clean after each use.

For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep

the igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean the ports

when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light

even though the electronic igniters activate.

Clean the range with caution. Avoid steam burns; DO NOT

use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the range while it is hot.

Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot

surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner

manufacturer.

Ensure all cooktop controls are turned off and the cooktop

is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or

around the cooktop. The chemical that produces the

spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or

cause metal parts to corrode.

Place oven racks in desired position while oven is cool. If a

rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the

potholders contact the broiler element.

When using the oven do not touch the broiler element, the

interior surfaces of the oven or the exterior area

immediately surrounding the door. Interior oven surfaces

become hot enough to cause burns. The heat deflector,

which deflects heat away from the cooktop and the trim on

the top and sides of the oven door, will also be hot when

the oven is in use.

Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing foods.

Before self-cleaning the oven (select models), remove the

broiler pan, oven racks, and any other utensils, and excess

spillage.

Please note that some pets or humans can be sensitive to

the odors created during the self-cleaning process whether

it is a manufacturing residue burn off or food, so it is

recommended that those potentially affected be removed

from the kitchen area during the self-clean process.

DO NOT clean, rub, damage, move or remove the door

gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. If the

gasket becomes worn or excessively soiled with food

particles, replace gasket to assure a tight seal.

WARNING

Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the

grate or with one that spans more than one burner, such

as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This can result

in poor combustion that generates harmful by-products.

WARNING

After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and using

caution due to possible hot surfaces, clean around the

burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper

operation.

Important Safety Instructions English | 9 |

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Protect the self-cleaning feature. Clean only those parts

indicated in this booklet. DO NOT use commercial oven

cleaners or oven liner protective coatings of any kind in or

around the self-cleaning oven(s).

For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the range,

never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door.

Service should only be done by authorized technicians.

Technicians must disconnect the power supply before

servicing this unit.

Listen to be sure the cooling blower runs whenever the

oven controls are set to BROIL or BAKE modes, after oven

heats to 300°F (149°C) — see “Automatic operation of the

cooling blowers”. If the fan does not operate, do not use the

oven. Call an authorized service center for service.

To avoid a fire hazard, grease accumulation must be

prevented by frequently cleaning the ventilation hood and

filters.

DO NOT use the optional grill plate for cooking excessively

fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.

When cooking fatty or oily foods on burners, the grill, or the

griddle, adjacent gas burners can ignite airborne fumes.

Use caution to avoid burns.

In case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other

spirits on the range's cooktop, follow manufacturer’s

instructions. Use caution when cooking foods with high

alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven.

Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of

burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven.

Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the

oven door carefully.

Remove all tape and packaging before using the appliance.

Destroy the packaging after install. Never allow children to

play with packaging material.

DO NOT store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,

flammables, or nonfood products in or near this appliance.

It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking

food. The use of corrosive chemicals while heating or

cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in

injury.

DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

IMPORTANT:

There is a possibility to discolor the back wall under certain

cooking conditions.

WARNING

To avoid risk of burn, turn the hood ON when cooking at

high heat or when flambéing food.

DO NOT use all heating elements or gas burners

simultaneously at high settings for a prolonged period.

(max.15 minutes).

If the hood is located over a gas cooktop, operate the

hood at maximum setting whenever three or more gas

burners are being used.

DO NOT operate the ventilation system during a cooktop

fire.

WARNING

DO NOT block or obstruct the flow of air

through the ventilation openings. The oven

vent is located at the back of the appliance.

The vents need to be unobstructed and open

to provide necessary airflow that is important

for proper oven performance.

DO NOT touch oven vent area while the

CAUTION

To help prevent burns, never remove or reposition the

oven racks while the oven is ON or while the oven is

cooling.

WARNING

Aluminum foil should NEVER be used to cover the oven

racks or to line the oven. It can damage the oven and

cause a fire hazard if heat is trapped under it.

1. Hold the rack on a slight angle. Place the safety hooks

under the front of the rack guides.

2. Push the rack into the oven, lifting the rack stops over

the front of the rack guides.

3. Hold the rack straight.

4. Push the rack in until it is even with the front hooks.

5. Lift the rack up.

6. Push the rack in completely.

7. Engage the rack’s front hooks on the rack guides.

IMPORTANT: When placing the gliding rack in the oven,

make sure the front supports on the rack guides rest in the

large slots at the front corners of the rack. This is

necessary to keep the rack in the correct position while

fully inserted into the oven.

Figure 5: Inserting the Gliding Oven Rack

Before You Begin English | 13 |

Placing Flat Racks in the Oven

The rack is designed with a stop so it will stop before

coming completely out of the oven and not tilt.

IMPORTANT: Always remove the oven racks before

self-cleaning the oven. If the gliding racks remain in

the oven during Self-Clean, lubricants in the glide

mechanisms of each rack will be lost and the finish will

discolor.

Surface Burners

1. Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated on the

burner bases of the range's cooktop (see page 15).

2. Turn on each burner to check for proper flame color.

See “Flame Description” on page 17 for details.

Oven Operation

1. Before baking or broiling, the oven and broiler should

be turned on to burn off the manufacturing oils using

one of the two following methods:

• Turn on kitchen ventilation (or if vent hood is a

recirculation type open a window). Turn the oven

on to 450ºF (230ºC) for 20 to 30 minutes; then turn

the broiler to BROIL for the same length of time.

Please note that it is normal for small amounts of

smoke to be visible from the range during this initial

breaking-in process.

• Turn on kitchen ventilation (or if vent hood is a

recirculation type open a window). Remove oven

racks. Set oven SPEED CLEAN and let self-clean

run (some models only. See “Self-Cleaning the

Oven (Dual Fuel Models Only)” on page 36).

Please note that some pets or humans can be sensitive to

the odors created during the self-cleaning process whether

it is a manufacturing residue burn off or food, so it is

recommended that those potentially affected be removed

from the kitchen area during the self-clean process.

The range occasionally has a smell or smoke when first

used. These smells or smoke comes from the burning off of

manufacturing residues and is typical of any new oven

regardless of manufacturer.

Please read “Care and Maintenance” before cleaning

the oven racks.

Note: It is normal for the cooling process to push heated air

out into the room when the oven is on.

1. Grasp rack firmly on both sides.

2. Insert rack (see picture).

3. Tilt rack up to allow stop into rack guide.

4. Bring rack to a horizontal position and push the rest of

the way in. Rack should be straight and flat, not

crooked.

Burner Cap Placement

Each cap has a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the underside of

the cap that corresponds to a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the

burner base that is attached to the appliance.

• Place each burner cap on its correct burner base per

its corresponding letter designation. See figure below.

• Place burner cap gently on top of base so that the

prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of

the burner cap.

Burners Caps

The burner caps must be properly placed on the burner

bases for the cooktop to function properly. If the burner cap

is not properly placed, one or more of the following

problems may occur:

• Burner flames are too high.

• Flames shoot out of burners.

• Burners do not ignite.

• Burner flames light unevenly.

• Burner emits gas odor.

Checking Burner Cap Placement

• Check each burner to make sure there is no gap

between the burner cap and burner base. See

Figure 13: Correct and Incorrect Burner Cap

Placement to see examples of correct and incorrect

placements of the burner cap.

• You may gently try to move the burner caps from side

to side to check if the caps are properly placed on the

burner bases. When properly placed, each burner cap

will rest flat on top of its burner base, and completely

cover the star-shape of the burner base when viewed

from the top as shown in Figure 13.

Burner Grate Placement

Ensure the burner grates are properly placed on the

cooktop before using the surface burners. The grates are

designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.

To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down and

align into the cooktop recess. Grates should rest flush

against each other and against the sides of the recess.

Figure 12: STAR Burner Components

WARNING

To prevent flare-ups and avoid the creation of harmful by-

products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps

and all burner grates properly positioned.

WARNING

To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or grates

while hot. Turn the cooktop off and allow the burners to

cool.

Control Knobs

The control knobs for two sealed gas burners, one in front

and one in the rear, are located directly in front of and

below the pair of burners on the control panel. Each burner

has its own control knob. The symbol above each control

knob identifies the burner position on the cooktop.

Operation of the Burners

1. Press in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to

the HI setting on the knob.

– The igniter for the selected burner clicks and

sparks.

– After burner ignition, the igniter stops clicking.

2. Rotate the knob to any flame setting between HI and

SIM.

– The blue signal light, between the burner knobs,

will light when adjacent burners are lit. The light will

remain on until the adjacent burners are turned off.

ExtraLow

®

Burners

The controls for the ExtraLow burners have flame settings

even lower than the standard SIM settings.

The drawing shows that the control knob has an additional

range between the SIM and XLO settings. When the knob

is set within this range, the flame cycles off and on. By

varying the length of time the flame is off and on, the heat is

reduced even further to cook delicate foods. For example,

these very low settings are suitable for simmering and

poaching, melting chocolate and butter, holding cooked

foods at temperatures without scorching or burning, etc.

Operation of the ExtraLow Burners

• XLO, the very lowest setting, is achieved by cycling the

flame ON for approximately 7 seconds and OFF for 53

seconds of each minute.

• When the knob is set just below the SIM setting, the

flame will cycle ON for approximately 53 seconds and

OFF for 7 seconds of each minute.

• To vary the amount of low heat to suit the food and

quantity, the control can be set anywhere within the

SIM and XLO range marked on the knob.

•The XLO knobs are disabled during self-clean (Dual

Fuel models only). The knob functions will remain

unavailable until after the oven unlocks.

ExtraLow Techniques

• The type and quantity of food affects which setting to

use.

• The pan selected affects the setting. Its size, type,

material, and whether a lid is used, all affect the

consistency of the cooking temperature.

• To maintain a low or simmer heat, bring food to a

rolling boil. Stir well, then cover the pan and lower the

heat to a setting just below SIM.

• Check periodically to see if the control knob should be

turned to another setting.

• If a large pan is used, the simmer action may occur

mainly in the center of the pan. To equalize the

temperature throughout the food, stir the food around

the outer edges of the pan into the food in the center.

• It is normal to stir food occasionally while simmering.

This is especially important when simmering for several

hours, such as for a homemade spaghetti sauce or

beans.

• When lowering the flame setting, adjust it in small

steps.

• If the setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the food

back to a boil before re-setting to a higher heat.

• It is normal not to see simmer bubbles immediately

after the food has been stirred.

• There may be bubbling when the flame cycles ON and

no bubbles when the flame is OFF. Even when the

flame is OFF, there will be steam and a slight quiver on

the liquid’s surface.

Automatic Re-Ignition

Each burner has its own electronic igniter that sparks when

the burner is turned on. Each burner should light in 4

seconds or less. If a burner does not light, check to see that

the cap is positioned correctly on the base.

If any one or more burners blow out, the electronic igniter

automatically activates to re-light the flame. Do not touch

the burners when the igniters are active.

IMPORTANT:

• For proper combustion do not use the cooktop without

the burner grates in place.

• There is a slight sound associated with gas combustion

and ignition. This is a normal condition.

• On cooktops using propane gas (LP), a slight “pop”

sound may be heard at the burner ports a few seconds

after the burner has been turned off.

Power Failure

• In the event of a power failure, only the standard

burners can

be manually lit. It is necessary to light each

one individually.

• If the cooktop is being used when the power failure

occurs, turn all knobs to the OFF position.

• The standard burners can be lit by holding a match at

the ports and turning the control knob to the HI

position. Wait until the flame is burning all around the

burner cap before adjusting the flame to the desired

height.

• The ExtraLow

®

burners cannot be used during a power

failure. Be sure to turn them off.

• If an ExtraLow burner is on when a power failure

occurs, it cannot be turned back on until the knob is

first turned off.

• The griddle cannot be used during a power failure.

• If you smell gas, refer to safety precautions listed on

page 4.

Flame Height

• The correct flame height depends on 1) size and

material of pan being used; 2) food being cooked; and

3) amount of liquid in the pan.

• Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.

• Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that

conduct the heat slowly, such as porcelain coated steel

or glass-ceramic.

Flame Description

• The burner flame color should be blue with no yellow

on the tips. It is not uncommon to see orange in the

flame color; this indicates the burning of airborne

impurities in the gas and will disappear with use.

• With propane (LP) gas, slight yellow tips on the primary

cone are normal.

• The flame should burn completely around the burner

cap. If it doesn’t, check that the cap is positioned

correctly on the base and that the ports are not

blocked.

• The flame should be stable with no excessive noise or

fluttering.

CAUTION

DO NOT touch the STAR

®

burners when the igniters are

sparking.

WARNING

In the event of a power failure, turn all knobs to the OFF

position. Only the Standard burners can be lit manually.

Yellow Flames:

Further Adjustment is required.

Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:

Normal for LP Gas

Soft Blue Flames:

Normal for Natural Gas

If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the

regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment,

retest.

Some orange-colored streaking is normal during the initial

start-up. Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate

before making adjustments.

Figure 16: Flame Characteristics

Using The Cooktop English | 18 |

Cookware Recommendations

• Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie

sheets, etc. should never be used on the cooktop.

• Placement of large stock pots should be staggered

when used on the cooktop.

• Select the base diameter to match the diameter of the

flame. The diameter of the flame should be the same

size as the pan base or slightly smaller. Oversize or

under size pans sacrifice cooking performance. A 5½''

(140 mm) base size is generally the smallest

recommended.

• Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than

the grate or with one that spans more than one burner,

such as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This

can result in poor combustion that generates harmful

by-products.

• Balance is important for stability and even cooking. The

handle must not be heavier than the pan and tilt it

unevenly. A pan must sit level on the grate without

rocking or wobbling.

• Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed

directly on the burner grate. Aluminum foil can melt

during cooking.

• Do not let plastic, paper or cloth come in contact with a

hot burner grate. They may melt or catch fire.

• Never let a pan boil dry. This can damage your pan and

the cooking surface.

• Professional quality pans with metal handles are

recommended because plastic handles can melt or

blister if the flame extends up the side of the pan.

Professional quality pans are found at restaurant

supply stores and gourmet specialty shops. All

cookware should have these characteristics: good heat

conductivity, good balance, correctly sized base

diameter, a heavy, flat base, and a proper fitting lid.

• For best cooking results, the flame should be contained

under the bottom of the pan.

• Aluminum and copper are pan materials that conduct

the heat quickly and evenly. These metals are

sometimes attached to the base or in the core between

stainless steel.

• A heavy, flat base is more apt to remain flat when

heated. Pan bases that are warped, dented, ridged or

too lightweight will heat unevenly. Heat and cool pans

gradually to avoid sudden temperature changes which

tend to distort cookware. DO NOT add cold water to a

hot pan.

• A properly fitting lid will shorten cooking time and make

it possible to use lower heat settings.

WARNING

To avoid risk of serious injury, damage to appliance

or cookware, please observe the following:

Figure 17: Stagger Pots

Figure 18: Balanced Pan

Figure 19: Flat Base Pan

Figure 20: Covered Pan

Using The Cooktop English | 19 |

Specialty Cookware

Woks

• Either flat-based or round-bottom woks with the

accessory ring can be used on all models. Round

bottom woks must be used with a support ring. The

Wok pan and the porcelain-coated cast iron wok

support ring must be purchased separately.

Canners and Stock Pots

• Select one with a base diameter that extends no more

than 2'' (51 mm) beyond the grate.

Standard Size Water Bath Canner

• 21 to 22 quarts (19.95 to 20.9 liters), with an 11'' to 12''

base (279–305 mm) and a 9'' to 11'' depth (229–279

mm).

Standard Size Pressure Canner

• 8 to 22 quarts (7.6 to 20.9 liters), with an 8'' to 11'' base

(203–279 mm) and a 6½'' to 12'' depth (165–305 mm).

Canning Tips

• A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave,

convex or rippled base.

• When using two canners at the same time, use

staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners. A

flame needs the right amount of air for complete

combustion.

• Use a cover on a canner when bringing the contents to

a boil.

• Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the

lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure.

• Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take

precautions to prevent burns.

Suggestions For Using the Surface Burner

Cooking Recommendations

• Use the chart beginning on page 20 as a guide. The

settings you use will vary depending on the pans

selected and the starting temperature of the food.

• On the chart, the “Finish Setting” has been separated

for the standard and ExtraLow burners. There may or

may not be a change between the two burner settings.

• The ExtraLow

®

setting can be either a cooking or a

holding setting.

• Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time

for the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.
