Important Safety Instructions

• Do Not Leave Children Alone—Children should not be left alone
or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They

should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE
BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE
OVEN. Both surface and oven burners may be hot even though

flames are not visible. Areas near surface burners 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 have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are
the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings
and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

always turn off the oven. If the oven is not turned off and the power
resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Once the power
resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan
of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off
before removing the pan.

•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.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition

of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat
Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

I

MPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door—Stand to the side of the

range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located
below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when
the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is
hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and
its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high
heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR
RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that
could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath

each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Refer
to the range manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the
manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware

that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement 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.

General Care & Cleaning

Porcelain Enamel Oven & Broiler Drawer

The oven interior is porcelain on steel and it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.

General Cleaning

Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

To Remove Heavy Soil:

1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened dirt spots
using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.

2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner following
manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT mix ammonia with other cleaners.

3. 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. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.

Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:

1. DO NOT spray cleaner on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking
or fire.

2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly.
(The bulb is located on the left interior wall of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful
not to move the bulb. A change in its position could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.

3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, broiler drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the
range, plastic or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Cleaning the Oven Bottom

The oven bottom is porcelain enamel and can be removed for easier cleaning. Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild

abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad or oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions.

Raising & Lowering the Top for Cleaning

1. Remove burner grates and spillover bowls. Set aside.

2. Grasp the sides of the cooktop and then lift from the front.

3. Lift the top high enough to allow the support rods to snap into place. The Lift-up rods

will support the top in its raised position.

4. Clean underneath using hot, soapy water and a clean cloth; then, dry.

5. To lower the range top, grasp the front corner of each side of the top while pushing back
on each rod with the heel of your hand. This will release the notched support. Hold the
range top and gently slide the range top down to the range.

Before You Call

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service,

review the following list. It may save you time & expense. The list includes common occurrences
(shown in bold) that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. The possible corrections to these
problems are provided with the problem listed:

Range is not level - (1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in
center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling
legs at base of range until the oven rack is level. (2) Be sure
floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support
range. (3) If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to
correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make
range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have
sufficient room for range clearance.

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible
for service - (1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly.

Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2)
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range
can be lifted over carpet.

Surface Burners do not light - (1) Surface Control knob was
not completely turned to LITE. Push in & turn the Surface
Control knob to LITE until burner ignites and then turn control
knob to desired flame size. (2) Burner ports are clogged. With
the burner OFF, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean
ports. See “Removing & Replacing Gas Burners for Cleaning”
in the General Care & Cleaning section for additional cleaning
instructions. (3) Range power cord is disconnected from outlet
(electric ignition models only). Be sure power cord is securely
plugged into the outlet. (4) Electrical power outage (electric
ignition models only). Burners can be lit manually. See section
on Setting Surface Controls.

Surface burner flame burns only part way around - (1)
Burner ports are clogged. With the gas burner OFF, clean ports
with a small-gauge wire or needle. (2) Moisture is present after
cleaning. Lightly fan the flame & allow burner to operate until
flame is full. See “Removing & Replacing Gas Burners for
Cleaning” in the General Care & Cleaning section for
additional cleaning instructions.

Surface burner flame is orange - (1) Dust particles in gas
main line. Allow the gas burner to operate a few minutes until
flame turns blue in color. (2) In coastal areas a slightly orange
flame may be unavoidable due to salt in air.

Oven does not operate - (1) Be sure the oven controls are set
properly for the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls in
this Use & Care Manual or read the instructions for “Entire
appliance does not operate” listed below. (2) Be sure the Gas
Regulator Valve is in the “ON” position (electric ignition models
only). Refer to the Installation Instructions to for more
information.

Entire appliance does not operate (some models) - (1) The
time of day is not set. The time of day must first be set in order
to operate the oven. See “To Set the Clock” in the Setting Oven
Controls section.(2) Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly
into outlet. (3) Service wiring is not complete. Contact your
dealer, installing agent or authorized service agent. (4)
Electrical power outage (electric ignition models only). Check
house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for
service. Surface gas burners can be lit manually. See Setting

Surface Controls in this Use & Care Manual.
Poor baking results - Many factors affect baking results. Make

sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the
oven & space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to
preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven.
Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking
time.

Oven light does not work (some models) - Replace or tighten bulb.
See Changing Oven Light section in this Use & Care Manual.

Oven smokes excessively during broiling - (1) Control(s) not
set properly. Follow Broil instructions under Setting Oven
Controls. (2) Broiler Drawer is open. The Broiler Drawer should
be closed while broiling. (3) Meat too close to the broil element.
Reposition the broil rack to provide proper clearance between
the meat & the element. Preheat the broil element for searing.
(4) Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat.
Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into
lean. (5) Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not
draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up &
slots down to allow grease to drip into pan (some models). (6)
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is
necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters
cause excessive smoking.

Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent - Excessive
spillovers in oven. This will especially be the case for pie
spillovers or large amounts of grease on the oven bottom. Wipe
up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or
excessive smoke are present see “To Broil” in the Setting Oven
Controls section.
