Important Safety Instructions

• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, near surface burners
or in the drawer (if equipped). This includes paper,

plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware
and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store
explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance.
Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or
property damage.

• 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 burners 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 cooktop, surfaces facing the
cooktop, 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.

IMPORTANT—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 may begin to operate again. Once the
power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance
for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long
period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.

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.

Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill
on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposure to carbon
monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This
can be hazardous to your health.

• 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.

In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to

turn off the main gas shutoff valve.

• 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.

• 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 the 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.

• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the surface burner to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship
of utensil to the surface burner will also improve
efficiency.

• 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 to adjacent surface
burners.

Important Safety Instructions

• 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 range top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.

• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The searing
grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so
may result in a fire.

• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if
the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done
to the cooktop or burners because the covers may
cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner
and cause combustion problems.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop—If cooktop

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.

• Clean cooktop glass with caution—If a wet sponge or

cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may
cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat­sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items
could melt or ignite.

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 and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

• Placement of oven/warm & serve drawer (if

equipped) racks. Always place oven racks in desired

location while oven/warm & serve drawer (if equipped) 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/warm &
serve drawer (if equipped). 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.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.

Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of

grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation

hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are
flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the
hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door or warm & serve
drawer (if equipped)—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/ warm & serve drawer.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is
located at the center rear of the cooktop. Touching the

• 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

• In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed
in this Use and Care Guide. Before self-cleaning the

oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods
from the oven.

Important Safety Instructions

• 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.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left

in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

sensitive to the fumes given off during the self­cleaning cycle of the range. Move the birds to another
well ventilated room.

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.

Grounding Instructions

For personal safety, the cooktop must be properly grounded. For
maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an electrical
outlet that is correctly polarized and properly grounded.
DO NOT Operate the cooktop using a 2-prong adapter or an extension
cord. If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the

Setting Surface Controls

Operating the Gas Surface Controls:

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

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

position.

3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (see figure 1). Note: All four
electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you
are turning on will ignite.

4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.

5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control
knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings
to 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.)

Figure 1

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 turn the knob to desired setting. Use
caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

For most cooking - start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower

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

Correct

RIGHT

WRONG

Incorrect

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

*Note: Settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum pans. 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.

utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed.

*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 - use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
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.

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when the oven is hot.

10

Setting Warm & Serve Drawer Control (If Equipped)

Arranging Warm & Serve Drawer Rack Positions

The rack can be used in 2 ways:

• In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top

of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish
underneath).

• In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty

dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Set the Warm & Serve Drawer Rack in either position as shown below (Figure 1).

Operating the Warm & Serve Drawer

The purpose of the Warm & Serve Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the Warm & Serve
Drawer. All food placed in the Warm & Serve Drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum
foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the
drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only utensils and cookware recommended for
oven use in the Warm & Serve Drawer.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the Warm &

Serve Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.

Warm & Serve Drawer Temperature Selection

Recommended Warm & Serve Drawer settings table is shown in Figure 2. If a
particular food is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more crispness is desired,
remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm
(for instance, meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the HI setting. To avoid heat loss,
do not open the Warm & Serve Drawer while in use.

To Set the Warm & Serve Drawer Controls:

The control and indicator lights for the Warm & Serve Drawer features are located on
the control panel. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI (high),
MED (medium) and LO (low).

1. Touch the (see Figure 6) pad at the Warm & Serve Drawer control position.

The Warm & Serve Drawer indicator light will flash. Note: If no further pads are
touched within 25 seconds the request to power the Warm & Serve Drawer ON will
clear.

2. Set the desired power level. Touch once to turn ON the power level for HI

(see Figure 3) or to turn ON the power level for LO (see Figure 5). The Warm

& Serve Drawer indicator light located beside the pad will turn ON steady.

3. Each touch of the or pads will decrease or increase through 5 power levels from HI (see

Figure 3) to MED (see Figure 4) to LO (see Figure 5). Note: For best results, preheat the Warm &
Serve Drawer before adding the food . An empty drawer will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.

Cooking Informations

Broiling

Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.

Preheating

Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot
metal.) To preheat, set the control(s) to BROIL as instructed in the Owner's Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot,
usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.

To Broil

Broil on side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop"
position before turning or removing food.

Determine Broiling Times

Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from element, but on the thickness and
aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than second. Frozen
meats also require additional time.

Broiling Tips

The broiler pan and it grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler.

Grid

DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The
exposed grease could ignite.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the
oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use fire extinguisher. DO
NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Broiler Clean-Up Tips:

To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO
NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as
cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy
water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may
scratch the grid.

During the Self-Cleaning

cycle, the outside of the range can become
very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small
children unattended near the appliance.

The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the Self-Cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated
room.

DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the
range with aluminum foil. Doing so will
destroy heat distribution, produce poor
baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil
will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

DO NOT force the oven
door open. This can damage the automatic
door locking system. Use caution when
opening the door after the Self-Cleaning
cycle is completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.

Care & Cleaning

Self-Cleaning Oven

A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part

of the Self-Cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door

replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then
push the knob into place.

Clean burner grates, broiler pan and insert in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soils
are not removed, follow the cooktop cleaning instructions below.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1
solution of clear water and ammonia.

If necessary

, cover difficult spots with an ammonia­soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then
scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all
cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray
oven cleaners on the cooktop.

Your range finish is may be made with Easy Care™ Stainless Steel (some models).
Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with
clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT use ANY store bought cleaners
like Stainless Steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive,
chlorides, chlorines or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water
or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.

Remove racks. See "To remove and to replace an oven rack" under Oven vent(s) and
racks. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with
clean water and dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

(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 rack is level. When range is level, cooktop may appear out of alignment if countertop
is not level. (2) Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. If floor is
sagging or slopping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation. (3) Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make
range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

(1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the problem. (2) Contact
builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (3) Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space
so range can be lifted over carpet. (4) Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a flexible C.S.A international
approved metal appliance connector installed.

(1) Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet. (2) Service wiring is not complete. Call an authorized
servicer. (3) Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for
service. Surface burners can be lit manually.

(1) Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press STOP/CLEAR to clear the display and stop
beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press STOP/CLEAR and call an authorized
servicer for assistance.

(1) Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Oven Light section in this Use & Care Guide. (2) Electrical power
outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.

(1) Surface control knob has not been completely turned to LITE. Push in and turn the surface control knob to
LITE until burner ignites and then turn the surface control knob to the desired flame size. (2) Burner ports are
clogged. Clean burners. See “Cleaning the Burner Grates, Burner Caps and Burner Heads” under General
Cleaning. (3) Range power is disconnected from outlet. Be sure cord is securely plugged into the outlet. (4)
Electrical power outage. (5) Be sure the gas supply to the range is turned “ON”.

(1) Burner ports or slots are clogged. With the burner off, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean ports or
slots. (2) Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly fan the flame and allow the burner to operate until flame is
full. Dry the burners thoroughly following instructions under General Cleaning.

(1) Dust particles in main line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns blue. (2) Salt air in
coastal areas. A slightly orange flame is unavoidable.
