Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless 

specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing 

should be referred to a qualified technician.

Cooktop Burners

Quality of Flames

On Natural Gas the burners’ flames should be a bluish color 

with, at most, a slight yellowish fringe.
On Propane gas the flames may be “softer”. The cooktop 

burner flames may have a slight yellowish tip.
If the flame burns with a long white tip you should call for 

service.
If the flame is distorted, check that the burner head is 

correctly placed over the burner.

MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND 

VENTILATION AIR TO THE RANGE IS UNOBSTRUCTED.

Use the Right Size Pan

This appliance is equipped with burners of different sizes.  

Use utensils with flat bottoms. Do not use unstable pans and 

position the handles away from the edge of the cooktop. 

Make sure the flames are under the pans. It is not safe to let 

the flames burn up the sides of the pan; the handle may get 

too hot. 
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve 

efficiency.

n



NEVER leave cooktop burners unattended at high 

settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and 

greasy spills may catch on fire.

n



Protective liners – DO NOT use aluminum foil to 

line cooktop bowls or oven bottoms. Foil liners 

may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire and will 

damage the enamel finish. Never allow aluminum 

foil to contact the heating elements.

n



DO NOT use cooktop protectors, foil or cooktop 

covers of any description. These may affect the safe 

use of your cooktop burners and are potentially 

hazardous to health.

n



Glazed cooking utensils – Only certain types of glass, 

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed 

utensils are suitable for range-top use without 

breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

n



Utensil handles should be turned inward and not 

over adjacent burners. If handles are left over 

adjacent burners they will get hot and may burn.

n



Use of aluminum pans may cause metallic marking 

of the grates. This does not affect the durability of 

the enamel and may be cleaned off with a metal 

polish.

Ovens

n



Take care when opening the door.

n



Let hot air and steam escape before removing or 

replacing food.

n



DO NOT drop or rest objects on the door glass. 

Although the glass is very strong, a sharp blow or a 

falling object might cause the glass surface to crack 

or break.

n



Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure 

build up may make container burst and cause injury. 

n



Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

n



DO NOT place aluminum foil on bottom of oven 

cavity. This will cause the oven bottom to overheat 

and void warranty.

n



DO NOT clean the door gasket: the door gasket is 

essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to 

rub, damage or move the gasket.

n



DO NOT use oven cleaners: no commercial oven 

cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind 

should be used in or around any part of the oven.

n



Clean only parts listed in this User Guide.

n



DO NOT use a steam cleaner on your range.

Placement of Oven Racks

n



Always place oven racks in desired location while 

oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, 

do not let potholder contact hot heating element in 

oven.

n



CAUTION! 

DO NOT store items of interest to children in 

cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a 

range – children climbing on the range to reach 

items could be seriously injured.
