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.

• 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 Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother the fire
with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may

catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders

touch hot heating burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Buildup of pressure
may cause container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored
or discarded.

IMPORTANT—ELECTRIC IGNITION MODELS ONLY: Do not attempt

to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails, 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 cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer—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.

• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has
not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit
has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours
before turning on the power to the appliance.

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.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this
Owner’s Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler

pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• 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.

• Do Not Clean Door Gasket—The door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the
gasket.

Setting Surface Controls

Do not place plastic
items such as salt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on top of the range when it is in use.

These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wood spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to a flame.

In the event of an electrical power outage,
the surface burners can 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. After burner
lights push in and turn knob to desired
setting. Use caution when lighting surface
burners manually.

Setting Surface Controls

Your range may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat
food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.

The SIMMER burner (some models) is best used for simmering delicate sauces,
etc.

The standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs. Some models
include a standard sized center burner (or 5th burner).

The POWER PLUS burner(s) (some models) are best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan.
Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Operating the Gas Surface Burners:

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF

position.

3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four electronic
surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you are
turning on will ignite.

3. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size.
The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the guides
and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob
in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is
left in the LITE position.)

one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for
determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of
utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for cooking.

*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; poach; stewing.

For deep fat frying,

Never extend the flame beyond the outer
edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply
wastes heat and energy, and increases
your risk of being burned by the flame.

*These settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using
other types of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. 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 burner if flame is yellow-orange.

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
undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food
will neither brown nor cook properly.

Speed Bake™ Cooking System

Benefits of Speed Bake™ Cooking
System:

—Foods cook up to 25 to 30% faster,

saving time and energy.

—Multiple rack baking.
—No special pans or bakeware needed.

Fig. 1

Setting Oven Controls

How the Speed Bake™ Cooking System works (some

models)

Speed Bake™ Cooking System uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution
allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking
results when using two racks at the same time (See Fig. 1).

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
Meats cooked with Speed Bake™ Cooking System are juicer. Poultry is
crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and
pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be
cooked faster and more evenly with Speed Bake™ Cooking System.

General Cooking Instructions:

For Baking:

1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.

2. Reduce oven temperature 25° F from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s
instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in oven rack positions 1 & 4 for best results (See Fig. 2)

Note: Layer cakes will have better results using the normal Bake feature.

For Roasting:

1. Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods with Speed Bake™ Cooking System.

2. Since Speed Bake™ cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe.
Increase the time until the desired doneness is obtained.

Note: Cook time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

To Set Speed Bake™ Cooking System:

1. Program the oven as you normally would to bake. Speed Bake™ may be used with

Bake, Timed Bake and Delayed Time Bake features.

2. Press and release Speed Bake™ switch. The indicator light located above the Speed

Bake™ switch will glow and the fan will come on. The fan stays on when the oven door
is closed and shuts off while the oven door is opened. The fan will continue to operate
until cooking is complete.

3. To cancel Speed Bake™, press on the oven control as you would to stop any

baking function.

IMPORTANT NOTES: The Speed Bake™ fan will take 6 minutes to begin rotating
once the Speed Bake™ switch has been turned ON. The Speed Bake™ feature will not
activate during a Self-Clean cycle.

Special Door Care Instructions - Most oven doors contain glass that can break.
Read the following recommendations:

1. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place.

2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.

3. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing
an increased risk of breakage at a later time.

Changing the Oven Light (some models)

For models equipped with the interior oven light, the light bulb is located at the
rear of the oven and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder (See Fig.

5). The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

To replace the oven light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.

2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.

3. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder into place.

5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).

6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the Clock and
Minute Timer in this Use & Care Guide.

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing

oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

Before You Call

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service,

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 has not
been completely turned to LITE. Push in & turn the surface
control knob to LITE until burner ignites & 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 Cleaning the Contoured Well Areas, Burner Cap, Burner
Head & Burner Drip Pans in the General Care & Cleaning
section for complete cleaning instructions. (3) Range power
cord is disconnected from outlet (electric ignition models only).
Be sure cord is securely plugged into the outlet. (4) Electrical
power outage (electric ignition models only). Burners can be lit
manually. See Setting Surface Controls.

Surface burner flame burns half way around - (1) Burner ports are
clogged. With the burner off, clean ports by using a small-gauge
wire or needle. (2) Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly fan the
flame and allow burner to operate until flame is full. Dry the burners
thoroughly following instructions in the Cleaning the Contoured
Well Areas, Burner Cap, Burner Head & Burner Drip Pans in the
General Care & Cleaning section.

Surface burner flame is orange - (1) Dust particles in main line.
Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns blue.
(2) In coastal areas, a slightly orange flame is unavoidable due to
salt 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 “Entire appliance
does not operate” in this checklist. (2) Be sure gas regulator valve
is “ON”. See installation instructions.

Entire appliance does not operate - (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 authorized service agent. (4) Electrical
power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local
electric company for service. (5) Be sure gas supply is turned ON.

review the following list. It may save you time & expense. The list includes common occurrences (shown

Oven control beeps & displays any F code error (for example
F11) - Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press
CLEAR/OFF to clear the display & stop beeping. Reprogram oven.

If fault recurs, record fault number. Press CLEAR/OFF & contact an
authorized service agent.

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. If you feel the
oven is too hot or cool, see Adjusting Your Oven Temperature in
this Use & Care Manual.

Oven smokes excessively during broiling - (1) Control(s) not set
properly. Follow Broil instructions under Setting Oven Controls. (2)
Oven door is open. Make sure oven door is closed. (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 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 or broiler pan & insert (some
models). Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently.
Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.

Self-Cleaning cycle does not work - (1) Oven control not set
properly. Follow instructions under Self-Cleaning. (2) Self-Cleaning
cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting
a Self-Cleaning Cycle" under Self-Cleaning.

Soil not completely removed after Self-Cleaning cycle - Failure
to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside
oven seal. These areas are not in the Self-Cleaning area, but get
hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the Self­Cleaning cycle is started. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with
a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to
damage the oven gasket.

Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent - Excessive
spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers
or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up
excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or excessive
smoke are present see “Broiling” in the Setting Oven Controls
section.

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