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.

IMPORT ANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING Y OUR
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.)

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

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

CORRECT

INCORRECT

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.

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, 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.

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 well­ventilated 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.

Note: See additional cleaning information
for the oven door in the General Care &
Cleaning section.

Self-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
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.

• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.

• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

• Oven racks do not have to be removed. If they are not removed during the

Self-Clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull.
After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil
(this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).

• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the
Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• 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. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed.

How to Clean

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built­up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60

minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of
these materials; they can scratch.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control
knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean as instructed above.
Squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping
around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the
appliance. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and
the shaft, then push the knob(s) 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 clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an
ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30-40 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 furture heating. DO

NOT use spray oven cleaners on the range top.

Stainless Steel, Chrome Parts

Oven Racks

Oven Door

Clean with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Do not
use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh
scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning
stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners off from the surface as bluish
stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Remove racks. See "Removing and Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting
Oven Controls. 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 or a cloth containing a small amount salad oil (this will make the racks glide
easier into the rack positions).

To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse
the door in water.

DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven
material, on self cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

Cleaning the Cooktop

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are
cleaned up immediately. To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

Use caution when replacing the burner cap so the electrode is not damaged. This may cause a delayed ignition

or prevent the burner from igniting.

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance
must be accessible for service.

Surface burners do not light.

Surface burner flame burns half way around.

Surface burner flame is orange.

Oven does not operate.

Entire appliance does not operate.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

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.

Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact
a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.

Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets
are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the
problem.

Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.
Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over

carpet.
Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a flexible C.S.A. International approved metal appliance

connector installed.
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 control knob to desired
flame size.

Solutions to Common Problems

OCCURRENCE

Oven smokes excessively during broiling.

Oven control beeps and displays any F code
error (for example F11).

Poor baking results.

Self-Cleaning cycle does not work.

Soil is not completely removed.

Flames inside oven or smoking from vent.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Meat is too close to the broil burner. Reposition the oven rack to provide more clearance
between the meat and the broiler.

Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Slash remaining fatty edges
to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.

Broiler pan used without insert or insert covered with foil. DO NOT use the broiler pan
without the insert or cover the insert with foil.

Broiler pan & insert needs to be cleaned. Excessive smoking is caused by a build-up
of grease or food spatters. If broiling often, clean on a regular basis.

Oven door is open. Oven door should be closed when broiling.
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press CLEAR/OFF to clear the display

and stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press CLEAR/
OFF and call your dealer or authorized service agent for assistance.

Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center
food in the oven and 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 cooking too hot or cool,
see Adjusting Your Oven Temperature.

Controls are not set properly. Follow instructions in Self-Cleaning section.
Self-Cleaning cycle was interrupted. Stop time must be set 2 to 4 hours past the start

time. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Clean Cycle" under Self
Cleaning.

Failure to clean bottom front, top of oven or door areas outside oven seal. These areas
are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these
areas before starting the self-clean cycle. Burned-on residue may be cleaned with a stiff
nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.

Excessive spillovers in oven. Set Self-Clean cycle for a longer cleaning time.
Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for pie spillovers or large

amounts of grease on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting
the self-clean cycle. If flames or excessive smoke are present, stop the Self-Clean cycle
and follow the steps under "Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Clean Cycle" in the Self
Cleaning section.
