IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Never use the appliance for warming or heating

the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven

door, or warmer drawer (some models). 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 clear. Touching surfaces in

this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or ignite.

• Always handle oven racks when the oven is cool.

Place oven racks in desired positions while the oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the 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 cookware and utensils before moving the rack.

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Do not

cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not use aluminum foil or other protective liners

to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook

in proper cookware and always use the over racks.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOK TOP

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.

Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate by blowing a downward air flow on to a range, shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for use in combination with each other.

• 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 and check that burner has lit. Adjust flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of cookware.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not

extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Never leave surface burners unattended at high

heat settings — spill overs cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of

cookware 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 you are flaming foods under a ventilating

hood, turn the fan on.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Control locations of the gas surface burners

Your built-in range is equipped with gas surface burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.

The small simmer burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear burner position on the cooktop (see Figure 1). The standard burner can be used for most surface cooking needs. The standard burners are located at the left front and left rear positions on the cooktop.

The power burners are best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The power burner is located at the right front position on the cooktop.

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.

Never straddle two burners with cookware unless specifically designed for that purpose such as griddles.

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.

Figure 1: Burner locations

Assembly of the surface burner caps and burner grates

It is very important to make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations.

1. Remove all packing material from cooktop area.

2. Discard all packing material (if applicable).

3. Unpack burner grates and position on the cooktop.

Operating the gas surface controls

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counter-

clockwise out of the OFF position.

3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (see

figures 1 & 2). 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.

Page 9

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

CAUTION

Using Proper Cookware

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. Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.

Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Important: Do not place aluminum foil or any material that

can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the cooktop.

For best cooking results, cookware should have flat bottoms that rest level on the burner grate. Before using cookware, check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Figure 2).

Cookware Material Types

The most popular materials available are:

• Aluminum

Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting).

• Copper

Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.

•Stainless

Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

•Cast Iron

A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

• Porcelain - enamel on metal

Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.

Figure 2: Checking pan for flat bottom

Please note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the burner flame setting needed for best cooking results.

•Glass

Slow heat conductor.

Important: Do not straddle cookware between two burners

unless the cookware is designed specifically for that purpose as is the case when using griddles.

Home Canning

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 setting needed.

Flame Size Type of Cooking

High Flame

Medium Flame

Low Flame

• Star most foods

• Bring water to a boil

• Pan broiling

• Maintain slow boil

• Thicken sauces and

gravies

• Steaming foods

• Keep foods cooking,

poaching and stewing

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance.

Check with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home

canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges

that radiate from the bottom center when home canning using a ceramic cooktop.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed

1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more

quickly. Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two

different surface cooking areas at the same time. This will cause uneven heating results and may cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.

IncorrectCorrect

Figure 4: Gas flame adjustment

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.

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.

Settings based on using medium weight metal or aluminum pans. Settings may vary using other types of pans. The color of the flame is key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue, and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of the flame should be steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located near the back of the cooktop. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. It is normal for steam or moisture to appear. Do not block oven vent.

Figure 5: Do not block oven vent location

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven racks and cook top will become very hot which can cause burns. Remove all racks before starting a self clean cycle.

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven racks

T o arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven

is cool (prior to operating the oven).

To remov e - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it

reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.

To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on

both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

Types of oven racks

at oven rack

Figure 6: Oven rack types Oven Rack Descriptions

• Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be

used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

• The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional

step down positions from the standard flat rack design. The offset rack positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in most oven rack positions.

• To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven

rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking or roasting large cuts of meat.

at handle oven rack

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom, sides, or racks - this will alter heat distribution producing poor baking results and could cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Air circulation in the oven

For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation. Be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides, or back of the oven cavity.

Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware for even heat to reach the food.

Effortless™ Oven Rack system

Some models are equipped with a special oven rack system that automatically extends the oven rack to assist in access to your food items. This rack extends when the oven door is opened or closed.

To assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:

1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied

oven rack. Effortless™ Oven Rack is a flat rack with a special dark coating on the left and right rack sides and the two supplied chrome connector arms.

2. Be sure the oven is completely cool before proceeding.

Open the oven door.

3. Place the oven rack in positions 1,2, or 3. Be sure the

rack connector brackets are at the rear of the range and pointing towards oven bottom Figure 2).

4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the oven

door open and the oven rack in place, install one end of the connector arm to the hole in the door connector bracket (Figure 1) and the other end in the hole in the rack connector bracket (Figure 2 and as in Figure 3). The oven rack may need to be adjusted in or out in the rack position to match the length of the connector arm.

5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the

connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point upwards (See Figures 4 & 5). The connector arm should now be locked into position.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.

7. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be

sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out of the oven freely when the door is opened or closed.

Figure 7:

Only the Effortless™ Oven Rack system performs best when connected and used in oven rack position 2.

If the rack system is assembled with the connector arms, the Effortless™ Oven rack may be used in oven rack positions 1, 2, and 3.

To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.

Remove all oven racks and accessories before starting a self-clean cycle. If the oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, the gliding ability of the Effortless™ Oven Rack system will be damaged, and oven racks will lose their shiny finish and may turn blue. Remove all oven racks and clean according to instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this manual. Make sure the oven and oven racks are completely cool when trying to assemble or disassemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system.

Setting Broil

Broiling tips:

• Broil foods with oven door closed.

• For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2

minutes. Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.

• If using a searing grill (available by mail order), preheat

oven 5 to 10 minutes before grilling.

This mode is best for meats, fish and poultry up to 1” thick.

Broiling cooks tender cuts of meat by direct heat. The broil

key controls the broil feature. An optional searing grill, broiler pan, and insert are available via the enclosed accessories brochure. The broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow grease to drain away from the high heat of the oven broiler. The oven can be programmed to broil at any temperature from 400°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F.

Always use oven mitts when handling broil accessories. Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

To set a broil of 500°F:

1. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan and place

the food on the broiler pan insert. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.The exposed grease could ignite.

2. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan

on the rack. Center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element. Preheat for 2 minutes before broiling.

3. Press broil. 550 will appear in the display.

4. Press 5 0 0. If a lower broil temperature is desired

(minimum broil temperature setting is 400°F), press the desired temperature before continuing to Step 5.

Convection Cooking

Multiple rack baking may slightly increase cook time for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Some food may cook faster and more evenly with convection bake. Convection baking uses the three elements and a fan to circulate the heat evenly and continuously within the oven (See Figure 12).

Benefits of convection cooking:

• Multiple rack baking.

• Some foods cook faster, saving time and energy.

Figure 12: Air circulation in convection function

Setting Convection Bake

This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best results when baking with multiple pans and racks. The oven can be programmed for convection baking at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 350°F.

Convection baking tips:

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,

cakes, biscuits, and breads.

• If your recipe cooking temperature has already been

converted for convection baking, there is no need to reduce your oven temperature. If not, you can easily reduce using the Convection Convert feature. Please see “Setting Convection Convert” on page 20 for further instruction on temperature conversion.

• When using any single rack, position the rack so that

the food is in the center of the oven.

• For best results when baking cakes using two oven

racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4 (See Figure 13).

• When baking using two oven racks, position cookware

as shown in Figure 14. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between cookware for proper air circulation.

• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny

• Most baked goods (except cakes) should be baked on

pans with no sides or low sides to allow to circulate.

• Do not open the oven door too often. Doing so will lower

the oven temperature and may extend cooking time.

T o set the oven for convec tion bake and temperature to 375°F:

Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable or handles. Always insert and remove the probe using the provided handles, as shown in Figure 15, and always use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams, or poultry.

For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food.

The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature.

When active, the probe displays the internal food temperature which is visible in the display during the cooking process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to open the oven door to check the thermometer.

• Do not store the probe inside the oven. Use only the

original probe provided. Connecting any other probe or device could result in damage to the oven control, electronics, and the receptacle.

• Before starting self clean, double check that the probe

is removed from the oven interior. Defrost frozen foods completely before inserting the probe.

Proper placement of probe in food.

• Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the

center of the thickest part of meat or food (See

Figure 16). For best results, do not allow the probe

temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware.

• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the

center of lowest large muscle or joint.

• For meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center

of food.

• When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.

• For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor

into the thickest part of inner thigh, just below the leg (See Figure 17).

NOTE

To set probe:

1. Insert the probe into the food. Place prepared food on

the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven.

2. Plug the connector end of the probe all the way into the

probe receptacle while the oven is still cool. The receptacle is located on the upper left front oven cavity wall (See Figure 15).

3. When the probe is set, an acceptance tone will sound,

the probe icon will illuminate, and the actual probe temperature appears in the display (See Figure 18). Close the oven door

Figure 18: Probe set showing probe temperature

4. Press probe key once. Enter the desired target food

temperature using the numeric keys and set temperature for food type. The minimum setting is 140ºF (60ºC); the maximum is 210ºF (99ºC). Default is 170ºF (77ºC).

5. Press start to accept the target temperature.

6. Set for quick preheat, bake, convect bake, convect roast, or convect convert, and if necessary adjust the

oven temperature accordingly.

7. The control will provide three beeps when the internal

target temperature is reached. The oven will automati-

cally change to a warm setting (HLd) and the actual

probe temperature will alternate in the display. Warm will maintain the oven temperature at 170°F (77°C) for 3 hours unless otherwise cancelled.

To stop cooking at any time, press off.

To set how the oven will operate once the probe reaches the target temperature:

The oven is preset to automatically stop cooking and start the warm feature when probe sensor reaches the target temperature. This may be set to continue cooking if desired. Setting the options once the probe reaches the target temperature must be done when the oven is inactive. The probe is not required to be connected to the probe receptacle when setting this option.

To set the oven to continue cooking after reaching the target temperature:

1. Press probe key and hold for 6 seconds.

2. Press self clean key and toggle until Continu:

Figure 20: Probe set to cancel cooking Probe too hot message:

When the message Prob... Too... Hot... flashes in the

display, the probe temperature has exceeded 250°F (121°C). If the probe is not removed, this message may continue until the sensor reaches 300°F (149°C) or higher, and oven will automatically turn off. Be sure the probe sensor is fully covered by the food.

During cooking the internal food temperature will display

by default. To see the target temperature press the probe

key once. After 6 seconds the display will revert to the

internal food temperature. To assure accuracy, do not

remove the probe from the food or receptacle until the desired internal temperature is reached. If the probe is removed from the receptacle only, the probe feature will cancel but the oven will continue to cook. If the probe is removed from the food only, the probe feature will remain active and may eventually generate a probe too hot message.

To change the target temperature while cooking, press

the probe key once. Use the numeric keys to change the temperature. Press the start key to accept any change.

Setting the Sabbath Feature (For use on the Jewish

Sabbath and Holidays)

The bake time and delay start keys

are used to set the Sabbath feature.

For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at http:\\www.stark.org.

The Sabbath feature may only be used with the bake function. Once the oven is properly set using bake with the Sabbath feature active, the oven will remain on until cancelled. The Sabbath feature overrides the factory preset 12 hour energy saving feature.

If the oven light is needed during the Sabbath, press Oven light before activating the Sabbath feature. Once the oven

light is turned on and the Sabbath feature is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath feature is turned off. If the oven light needs to be off, be sure to turn the oven light off before activating the Sabbath feature.

5. Press and hold both the bake time and delay start keys for at least 3 seconds. SAb will appear in the display. Once SAb appears in the display, the oven

control will no longer beep or display any further changes, and the oven is properly set for the Sabbath feature.

6. The oven may be turned off at any time by first pressing off (this will turn the oven off only).

7. To turn off the Sabbath feature, press and hold both the bake time and delay start keys for at least 3 seconds. SAb will disappear from the display.

• You may change the oven temperature once baking

has started by pressing bake and the numeric keys

for the new temperature. For example, to change

from 350°F to 425°F, press 4 2 5. Then, press start

twice.

• Only the following controls will function after setting

the Sabbath feature: numeric keypad, bake, start, and off. All other features will not function once the Sabbath feature is properly activated.

It is advised to not activate any cooking function other than bake while the Sabbath feature is active.

To program the oven to begin baking immediately and activate the Sabbath feature (example : baking at 350°F):

1. Be sure that the clock is set with the correct time of day.

IMPORTANT

Self-Cleaning Operation

• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other

part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will block 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).

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the

fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

• During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the oven

can become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.

• Do not force the oven door open while door is locking

or unlocking (usually 15 seconds). 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. Stand to the side of the oven door when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

• Do not leave small children unattended near the

appliance. During self clean the range may become very hot to the touch and could cause burns.

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

What to expect during self-cleaning

While in self-clean mode, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal.

Odors are normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• Do not use oven cleaners or protective coatings in or

around any part of the oven interior. Do not clean the oven door gasket. Take care not to rub, damage, or remove the gasket or use any cleaning substances on the oven door gasket (See Figure 21). Doing so could cause damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven’s performance.

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, door liner outside

the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom with soap and water (See

Figure 21). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil

on.

• Remove any excessive spills from the oven cavity

before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high tempera-

tures. 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.

• Do not use aluminum foil or liners in the oven. These

items are not made to withstand the very high temperatures of a self-clean cycle and will melt.

• Remove all oven racks and accessories. If oven racks

are not removed before a self-clean, they will lose their special coating and will no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity effortlessly.

• Oven racks accidentally left in the oven during self

clean may be wiped down after cooling with a hightemperature cooking oil to lubricate them.

If heavy spills are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

Setting Self-Clean Cycle Duration

The self clean key 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. A 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete. It is recommended 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 set the controls for a 3 hour self-cleaning cycle to start immediately and shut off automatically:

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day and

the oven door is closed.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all co ntrols are turned off and the oven is cool.

Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the number of major cleaning later.

Surface Type Recommendation Aluminum and Vinyl • Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth. Painted and plastic control

knobs

Painted body parts

Painted decorative trims

Surface burners Burner grates

Smudge-Proof™ Stainless Steel (some models)

Stainless Steel

Porcelain enamel broiler pan and insert (available by mail order)

Oven interior (Porcelain) Door liner and body parts

• Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of

vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. Do not spray liquids directly on the oven control and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels - they will damage the finish.

• To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight

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

• Your oven finish may be made with 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, chlorine, or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.

• 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 ammonia-soaked 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.

Oven racks • Oven racks must be removed from oven cavity. Clean by using a mild, abrasive

cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

Oven door • Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven

door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the door. Do not immerse the door in water.

• Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do not

use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-clean models, the oven door gasket

is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket.

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool.

Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized qualified agency.

Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame.

To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop

If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

To clean burner grates

• Clean when the grates are cool. Use nonabrasive

plastic scrubbing pad and mild abrasive cleanser.

• Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean

immediately after the grates are cool. Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.

To clean burner caps

• Remove caps from burner heads after they have

cooled. Clean heavy soils with a plastic scrubbing pad and absorbent cloth. Thoroughly dry burner caps immediately following cleaning including the bottom and inside of cap.

CARE AND CLEANING

To clean the surface burner heads

For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner head and slots. First use a clean damp cloth to soak up any spills. Remove any food from between the burner slots using a small nonabrasive brush like a toothbrush and wipe up using a damp cloth. For stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean. The electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care not to hit the electrode with any thing hard or it could be damaged.

To clean the burner head ignition ports

Each burner head has a small ignition port (Figure 22). Should you experience ignition problems it may be that this port hole is partially blocked with soil. With the burner head in place, use a small wire gauge needle or the end of a paper clip to clear the ignition port.

Figure 22: Gas burner head parts

• Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not clean burner caps

in the dishwasher. Do not operate surface burners without burner caps properly in place.

BEFORE YOU CALL

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time and expense. Possible solutions are provided with the problem listed:

Problem Solution

Poor baking results Many factors effect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the

oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat oven to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. See “Adjusting oven temperatures” on page 23 if you feel the oven is too hot or cold.

If your oven is cooking poorly, or self clean is performing badly, perform the following check: Press Broil; Press START. Place your hand near the handle on the oven door. Between the door and the control panel you should feel a rush of air on your hand. If so, your unit is functioning properly and you have had a Power Failure in your home. If no air stream is present, call a service technician to replace your cooling fan.

Appliance is not level Be sure floor is level, strong and stable enough to adequately support range. If floor is
