Operating Your Range

Selecting the Cookware

For overall safety and best performance, select the 

correct cooking utensil for the food being cooked. 

Improperly selected cooking utensils will not cook 

evenly or efficiently.
Use cookware that:
•  Has flat, smooth bottoms.
•  Is well balanced.
•  Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and 

steam in.

Cooktop Operation

•  To avoid the chance of fire, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not attempt to use your range without the 

burners completely and properly assembled (see page 6). The burner rings must be properly seated for proper 

burner lighting and operation.

•  To avoid burns and scalding, always turn pan handles to a position where they cannot be easily hit. Also, handles 

should not extend over adjacent burners. Always set utensils gently onto the grates and center them so that they are 

well-balanced.

•  Do not drag cookware across the grates. Sliding may damage the finish. Lift utensils to reposition them. Do not drop 

them on the grate.

•  Cookware with rough bottoms can cause permanent damage to the coated surfaces on the grates.
•  To avoid burns or fire hazard, reduce the flame level 

if it extends beyond the bottom of the utensil. A flame 

that extends up the sides of the utensil is potentially 

dangerous.

•  In the interest of safety, always light the burner before 

putting the cooking utensil on the grate. Turn the 

burner knob to the 

OFF position before removing the 

utensil. Always check all the burner knobs to make 

sure the range is 

OFF when you are finished cooking.

•  Do not turn the knob farther than the 

HIGH position until lit. Doing so may result in a burst of flame that could cause 

burns or damage to the surrounding area.

•  Do not touch any part of the burner while the igniter is sparking. An electric shock could result.
•  Never light the burners with a match or other open flame.
•  If the gas does not ignite after four seconds or if the flame goes out and gas escapes, turn the knob to the 

OFF 

position. Open a window and allow at least five minutes for the gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.

Burning-in the Oven

When the oven comes from the factory, residue for 

certain materials used in the manufacturing process 

are left on the parts of the oven. These residues 

should be “burned off” before the oven is used for 

the first time.

1.  Birds or other small pets may be sensitive to the 

odors during first operation. Remove them to 

another part of the house and close the door.

IMPORTANT: Avoid spills as much as possible. 

The porcelain surfaces of the grates, spill trays and 

burner caps are acid-resistant but not acid-proof. 

Some foods can cause permanent damage if allowed 

to remain on porcelain surfaces.

2.  Open windows and turn on the range hood to 

allow the odors and smoke to escape.

3.  Turn the oven to the BROIL setting for 10 min-

utes. It is normal for odors and smoke to come 

out of the vent slot on the backguard during this 

process.

4.  After ten minutes, turn the oven control knob 

down to 350˚F. Leave the oven at 350˚F for 30 

minutes.

5.  After 30 minutes, turn off the oven. Close the 

windows and turn off the range hood when the 

odors and smoke finish clearing.
