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.

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 in

and around each surface burner. 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.

Figure 1

Your gas range was supplied with 4 different surface gas burners; a
"SIMMER" Burner (5,000 BTU), a STANDARD burner (9,500 BTU), a
"POWER" Burner (12,000 BTU) and a POWER PLUS™ Burner (14,000 BTU).
When setting up the gas range for the first time, make sure that the correct
Burner Heads, Burner Caps and Burner Grates are correctly (See Fig. 1).

Assembly of the Surface Burner Heads, Burner Caps and
Burner Grates:

It is very important to makes sure that all of the Surface Burner Heads,
Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates are installed correctly and in
the correct locations.

1. Place all 4 Burner Heads in the correct locations (See Fig. 1). Make sure
that the correct Burner Head is placed with the corresponding Orifice
Holder and that the Electrode is located properly in the slot provided of
each Burner Head (See Fig. 2). Proper Burner Head placement insures that
each Burner will have the correct spark required for gas ignition.

2. Place the correct Burner Caps at each of the burner locations. Each of the
4 Burner Heads MUST have a Burner Cap installed to insure proper ignition
and gas flame size before placing the Burner Grates (See Fig. 2).

3. Place the 4 cast iron surface Burner Grates supplied with the range. After
the surface grates been installed place the center grate between the four
grates and be sure to interlock the grates correctly (See Fig. 3).

Figure 3

REMEMBER — DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR

ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER
OPENING. Always keep the Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place whenever

the surface burners are in use.

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out
of the OFF position (See Fig. 2).

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.

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.)

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.

Surface Cooking

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 utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the

PROPER
FLAME
SIZE

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.

IMPROPER
FLAME
SIZE

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.

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.

*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.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Arranging the 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.

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located below the
backguard. When the oven is on, hot

air is released through the vents. This
venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking
results.

Removing and Replacing Oven

Racks

To remove, pull the rack forward until

it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide
out. To replace, fit the rack onto the
guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front
of the rack upward and slide the rack
back into place.

Arranging Oven Racks

To bake on a single rack, place the
rack in position 4. To bake on 2
racks, place the racks in positions 2

and 4. To bake on 3 racks, place the
racks in positions 1, 3 and 5.

Air Circulation in the Oven

If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple
racks, stagger cookware as shown.

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm)
around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure
pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door,
sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.

Setting Warming Drawer Controls

(some models)

Arranging Warming 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 cookware (for example, rolls or
pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Set the Warming Drawer rack in either position as shown below (Fig. 1).

Figure 1

T o Operate the Warming Drawer

The purpose of the Warming 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 Warming Drawer.

All food placed in the Warming 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 Warming Drawer.

Food Settings Table

Figure 2

T o Set the W arming Drawer Control

The control is used to select the temperature of the Warming Drawer. It is
located on the control panel. To set the control, push in and turn the knob to
the desired setting. The temperatures are approximate and are designated by
HI (high), MED (medium) and LO (low). To set the Warming Drawer control:

1. Turn the knob to select the desired temperature setting.

2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer
will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.

3. When done, turn the control to OFF.

Warming Drawer T emperature Selection

Recommended Warming Drawer food settings are shown in Figure 3. 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 example, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls) use the HI
setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open the Warming Drawer while in use.

Warming Drawer Indicator Light

The Warming Drawer indicator light is located above the Warming Drawer
control knob (See Fig. 2). It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until
the control is turned off. The warmer drawer will not operate during the self-

clean cycle.

Convection Roasting Instructions

When using the Convection Roast pad, use the broiler pan and insert along with the
roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert will help prevent
grease spatters. The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the meat.

To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease

spattering, DO NOT use the roasting rack when broiling.

1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom rack position. See Arranging

Oven Racks in this Use & Care Manual.

2. Place the insert in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the insert allowing the

heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase
browning on the underside. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the
insert in the broiler pan . DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert or cover the
insert with aluminum foil.

3. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack (See Fig. 4).

Setting Convection Bake

Benefits of Convection Bake:

The CONV BAKE pad controls
the Convection Bake feature. Use the

Convection Bake feature when
cooking speed is desired. The oven
can be programmed for Convection
baking at any temperature between
300°F (149° C) to 550°F (288° C).

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and
continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat
distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also
gives better baking results when using two (2) or three (3) racks at the
same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. Most foods cooked in
a standard oven will cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake.

Note: The BAKE TIME pad may be used to set timed or delayed
timed cooking with the CONV BAKE pad (refer to page 20 steps 6-8).

—Some foods cook up to 30% faster,

saving time and energy.
—Multiple rack baking.
—No special pans or bakeware

needed.

General Convection Bake Instructions

1. When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal cooking times as shown on page 34. Adjust the cook time for
desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked.
Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around
the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.

2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.

3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place
the oven racks in positions 1, 3 and 5 (for 3 racks) and positions 2 and 4 (for 2 racks; See Fig. 2).

4. Layer cakes will have better results when baked with the normal Bake feature.

Self-Cleaning

Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures which eliminate soil completely or
reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. These temperatures
are well above normal cooking temperatures.

1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before pre-cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue after the self-

clean cycle.

• 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.

2. Remove the searing grill, broiler pan and broiler pan insert, all utensils and any

aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

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).

Figure 1

3. Oven racks should be removed, or else their finish will dull and their color turn slightly
blue. If they do go through the self-clean cycle, wait until the oven has cooled, then
remove the racks and rub their sides with wax paper or a cloth containing a small
amount of baby or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier back into their
positions).

4. Remove any excess 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 cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

5. 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.

If at any time when setting the oven for the Self-Cleaning feature, the oven control
continuously beeps and the display shows “dr”; close the oven door (See Figure 1).

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

Self-Cleaning

T o Start Self-Clean Cycle

The CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean
cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour.

So to self-clean for 3 hours will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

*It is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for
heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).

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; they may be burned if they touch the hot oven door surfaces.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use care when
opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or
steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

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, and
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.

Oven racks should be removed from the oven during the Self-Clean cycle for cleaning.
When removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's
instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

If the racks are cleaned in the Self-Clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the
finish will be dull. After the Self-Clean cycle is complete, and the oven has cooled, rub the
sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or 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.

Care & Cleaning

Cleaning the Burner Grates, Burner Caps and Burner Heads

The Burner Grates, Burner Caps and Burner Heads should be routinely cleaned.
Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame
at each burner position. Refer to the following instructions.

To Remove and Replace the Surface Burner Grate, Surface Burner Cap and
Surface Burner Head - Remove in the following order; (1st) Center Burner Grate,

(2nd) Surface Burner Grate, (3rd) Surface Burner Cap, (4th) Surface Burner Head
(See Fig. 1).

Reverse the procedure above to replace the Surface Burner Cap, Surface Burner
Head and Surface Burner Grate. Do not remove any burner parts from the

cooktop until the burner parts have completely cooled and are safe to handle.
Do not operate the surface burners without the Surface Burner Caps, Surface
Burner Heads and Surface Burner Grates properly in place.

To Clean the Burner Caps, Burner Heads and Burner Grates - Use a soap-filled

scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean the surface burner caps and
surface burner heads. The ports (or slots) around the burner heads must be
routinely cleaned. If residue still remains in these ports, use a small-gauge wire
or needle to clean the slots or holes. For proper flow of gas and ignition of the
burner—DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY

OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING.

that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.

OCCURRENCE

Range is not level.

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

Surface burners do not light.

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. See the Range Installation Instructions.

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.

Solutions to Common Problems (contd)

OCCURRENCE

Oven smokes excessively during
broiling.

Oven electronic control beeps and
displays F1, F3 or F9.

Oven control beeps when you try
to enter times or temperatures

POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION

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

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

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

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

Oven door is open. Oven door should be closed when broiling.
This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among the many

features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors the
internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating
correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop the
current operation and beep continuously (flashing an error code of F1, F3 or F9 in the
controller display window).

Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press CLEAR/OFF to clear the display and
stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault remains, record fault number. Press CLEAR/OFF
and contact a Servicer.

The oven control will only accept correct responses and/or the minimum number of
allowable entries for the appropriate feature. The oven control is designed to prevent
accidental entries. Review the instructions in this Use & Care Manual for the feature you are
trying to use. Also review the minimum and maximum temperature entries for the feature
you are trying to set on page 13 in this Use & Care Manual.

Poor baking results.

Self-Cleaning cycle does not work.

Soil is not completely removed.

Flames inside oven or smoking
from vent.

Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is being 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
the Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual.

Controls are not set properly. Follow instructions in the 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 food 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.
