Gas surface burner types
The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with di erent BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quickly and in large amounts increases as the burn­er size increases.
Small burners are best used for low-fl ame heat­ing of small amounts of food.
Standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.
The largest burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to tem­perature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The large 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 set the fl ame size appropriately for the pan. Never allow fl ames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Burner Cap
Burner Head
Assembly of the Burner Caps
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 the cooktop area.
2. Make sure burner head and caps are properly placed on the surface burners.
Important: The burner head has a hole which fi ts over the ignitor. Make sure the head fi ts snugly be­fore placing the burner caps.
Note: Unpack the burner grates and position them on the cooktop after the burner heads and caps are properly installed.
CAUTION
Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas orifi ce holder opening.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will infl uence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in “Figure 2: Testing cookware” and “Figure 3: Proper cookware”.
Check for fl atness by ro­tating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 2: Testing cookware”). Cookware should have fl at bot­toms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating element.
Figure 2: Testing cookware
Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface ele­ment to the pan bottom. The most popular materi­als available are:
• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pit­ting).
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discol­ors easily (see Aluminum).
• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor, but will re­tain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating charac­teristics will vary depending on base material.
• Glass - Slow heat conductor.
• Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced
• Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.
• Made of material that conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match pot diameter to element size.
Figure 3: Proper cookware
.
• Curved and warped pans.
• Cookware larger than element by more than one-half inch or 12mm.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is much smaller
than the element.
IMPORTANT
Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porce­lain-enamel coated cookware on the element. The melting point of cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly, especially if left empty. If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for use and care of cookware.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two di erent surface cooking areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
15
Install Burner Grates
To install burner grates, place the grates fl at-side down and align them into the cooktop recess..
Figure 4: Grate installation
IMPORTANT
Make sure the burner grates are proper­ly placed on the cooktop before using the surface burners (Figure 4). The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.
Grates should rest fl ush against each other and against the sides of the recess.
Do not line the area underneath the grates or any part of the cooktop with aluminum foil or with any other lining.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Ag­riculture) website and be sure to read all the infor­mation they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
Use only a completely fl at bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom cen­ter when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is fl at. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch (25mm) beyond the surface ele­ment markings or burner.
It is recommended to use smaller diameter can­ners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the burner grates.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
Use the highest heat setting when fi rst bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to main­tain that boil.
Use tested recipes and follow instructions care­fully. Check with your local Cooperative Agri­cultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.
16
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Setting surface controls
The ability to heat food quickly and in large vol­umes increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance may be equipped with many di er­ent sized surface burners.
It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and fl ame size appropriate for the cookware size.
The standard size burner or burners may be used for most surface cooking needs.
Small burners are best used for low-fl ame heat­ing of small amounts of food.
Large burners are best for bringing large quan­tities of liquid to temperature or heating larger quantities of food.
Setting a surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the burner grate.
2. Push the burner’s surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 1).
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the burner has a steady gas fl ame.
4. Once the surface burner has a fl ame, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclock­wise to the desired fl ame size setting. Adjust the fl ame as needed using the knob markings.
CAUTION
Do not place fl ammable items such as plastic
wrappings, spoon holders, or plastic salt and pepper shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, tow­els, or wooden spoons could catch fi re if placed too close to the surface burners.
Figure 5: Surface control knob
NOTES
When setting a surface control knob to the lite position, all of the electronic surface ignit­ors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners may 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. Once the burner ignites, push in and turn knob out of lite then to the desired fl ame setting. Use caution when lighting sur­face burners manually.
Set proper burner fl ame size
The color of the fl ame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good fl ame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of fl ame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if fl ame is yellow-orange.
For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to complete the pro­cess. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper fl ame size for various types of cooking (Table 1).
For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the surface 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 under-cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

Flame size Type of cooking
High fl ame Start most foods; bring water
to a boil; pan broiling
Medium fl ame Maintain a slow boil; thicken
sauces, gravies; steaming
Low fl ame Keep foods cooking; poaching;
stewing
These settings are based on medium-weight met­al or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Table 1: Recommended fl ame settings for cook­ing
CAUTION
Never extend the fl ame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher fl ame wastes en­ergy, and increases your risk of being burned by the fl ame (Figure 7).
Figure 6: Griddle
The griddle is a versatile accessory that is perfect for cooking foods that require large fl at surfaces such as pancakes, French toast, grilled sandwiches, bacon, and also for cooking di erent foods at the same time.
After use, let the griddle cool before washing. Hand wash with hot soapy water. Do not soak. Dry thor­oughly. Do not put a griddle in a dishwasher.
If you would like to purchase a griddle, you can order one from Frigidaire.com.
Using the griddle:
Place the griddle securely on top of the burner grates. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medi­um to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process. DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheat­ing on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close o the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
Figure 8: Oven vent
WARNING
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Improp­er installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fi re. During self clean, tempera­tures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
CAUTION

Figure 9: Oven rack types
Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking
needs and may be placed in most oven rack posi­tions.
Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Flat or O set Oven Racks
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
To remove - 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.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny fi nish.
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.

Air Sous Vide
Air Sous Vide is ideal for cooking meats to achieve tenderness without overcooking.
How Sous Vide Works
Sous vide is a French phrase meaning “under vacu­um”. In sous vide cooking, food is vacuum-sealed in plastic pouches, which are then placed in a cooking medium of hot water or air.
Your appliance uses hot air circulating around sealed pouches to cook food slowly at relatively low temperatures: 100°F to 205°F (38°C to 94°C). Sous vide cooking is not fast, but with a little plan­ning, it can be very easy.
Advantages of Sous Vide
Food does not lose fl avor or aroma due to evaporation.
Vitamins and minerals do not escape during cooking.
The low cooking temperature leaves meat and fi sh more tender.
Less spice is needed, as food keeps more of its natural fl avor.
The low cooking temperature greatly reduces the risk of overcooking. The food never gets hotter than the intended serving temperature.
Timing is less critical. If di erent dishes are fi n­ishing at di erent times, food that has reached serving temperature can wait, since it stays at serving temperature in the cooking medium.
Food Safety
Because sous vide cooks at relatively low tempera­tures, safe food handling is especially important.:
• Always keep raw food in safe conditions before you start cooking.
Clean the raw food before you start cooking.
Use Table 1, “Recommended Sous Vide Cook Settings,” to fi nd the recommended cooking time and temperature for the food.
Only use temperatures below 140°F (60°C) to cook foods that can be safely eaten raw.
Food should be between 34°F and 37°F (nor­mal refrigerator temperatures) when preparing to place food in sous vide vacuum pouch.
Sous vide dishes are best served immediately after cooking. If food is not served immediately, use an ice bath to chill it quickly and then keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Do not use sous vide to reheat leftovers.
Do not allow raw food to contact cooked food during preparation. Do not use the same tools on di erent food items without washing them.
If the recipe includes raw eggs, keep the whites and yolks from touching the outsides of the shells.
Blanching in boiling water or searing in a pan before sous vide cooking can destroy surface bacteria to improve food safety.
Do not use Delay Start with the Sous Vide func­tion.
Do not use a meat probe with the Sous Vide function. Food needs to be sealed air-tight in a pouch for sous vide cooking.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
31
Vacuum Sealing
Sous vide cooking in your oven requires a vacuum sealer and vacuum pouches. The pouch needs to be sealed so no air or liquid can leak out. A pouch that leaks will produce poor cooking results and may produce smoke and residue that can burn during future cooking or when using self-clean. Follow the instructions that come with your sealer and pouches.
Use pouches that are specifi ed for your sealer and for sous vide cooking.
Do not reuse vacuum pouches.
Put food in one layer in the pouch for even cooking.
It is recommended to use one food portion per vacuum pouch.
For most sous vide cooking, use the highest vacuum setting for best cooking results.
Make sure that the closure of the pouch is clean to get a good seal. If cooking at higher tem­peratures (above 160º F / 71º C), double-seal the pouch.
Vacuum pouches are solely for sous vide cook­ing and should not be used for regular baking or broiling.
Sous Vide Cooking
1. Prepare
Start with the freshest, highest quality food
possible.
Clean and cut the ingredients.
2. Package
Place the ingredients in the plastic pouch
for your vacuum sealer. Add seasonings for cooking.
Note: If cooking multiple items at once,
you may want to write the contents on the outside of the pouches before fi lling and sealing them.
Vacuum seal the pouch, removing as
much air as possible. Verify that you have achieved an air-tight seal.
If not cooking immediately, store the pouch
in a refrigerator until ready to cook.
To cook Air Sous Vide:
1. Press
2. Press START.
3. Use number keys to set desired temperature.
IMPORTANT: Since sous vide cooking allows for a suggested minimum cooking time and a target time, it is recommended to set the timer to at least the minimum time or to any time up to the target suggested time. With sous vide cooking, there is a maximum cooking time which allows the user more fl exibility when cooking with no specifi c end time.
Note: Use the settings recommended for the type of food in Table 4 on page 37.

CAUTION
Even though sous vide cooks at relatively low temperatures, use care when handling the pouch and its contents, which will be hot to the touch.
Only use temperatures below 140°F (60°C) for cooking foods that can be safely eaten raw.
IMPORTANT
The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For beef medi­um 160°F, well done 170°F (77°C). Visit the USDA Food Safety and Inspection website at www.fsis. usda.gov.

Slow Cook
Use Slow Cook for foods that will cook or braise at low temperature for a long period of time.
For best results when using Slow Cook:
Completely thaw all frozen foods before cook­ing.
When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position 2 or 3. Position racks to accom­modate the size of various bakeware when cooking multiple food items.
Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the Slow Cook time may need to be extended.
Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone, and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.
Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour.
Slow cooking meats may result in the outside of the meat turning dark; this is normal.
To set Slow Cook:
1. Press until “SLo C” appears in the display.
Convection Roast
Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and elements to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and fl avors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside.
WARNING
Should an oven fi re occur, close the oven door and turn the oven o . If the fi re continues, use a fi re extinguisher. Do not put water or fl our on the fi re. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fi re to spread and cause personal injury.
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
To use convection roast at a temperature of 350°F (177°C):
1. Press Conv Roast.
2. Set the desired temperature using the number keys or use default of 350°.
3. Press START.
4. Set Cook Time if desired.
5. Press START. Preheating the oven is not neces- sary.
6. When cooking is completed or to cancel Con­vection Roast press OFF.
2. Press START.
3. Press to choose Level 1, 2, or 3.

Convection Roasting tips:
Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
Arrange oven racks so meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.
Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the rec­ommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.
When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.

Cooking with Steam
Note: More moisture will be present than during
conventional baking or roasting. Moisture could condense on the handle or in the door, and de­pending on the conditions in your kitchen possibly drip onto the fl oor.
Steam Cooking Tips: Oven Positioning
• Use fl at rack in the position in the oven for most foods for Steam Roast.
Lowest position for poultry.
Preparing
• Use 2-1/2 cups of water for steam bake and steam roast. If steam functions are frequently used, use distilled water.
Using water container, pour water slowly onto the bottom of oven cavity while still cool.
Never add water if the oven is warm.
Never add water during a Steam Bake or Steam Roast cycle.
While in Use
When using Steam, follow the recipe for pre­heating, cook time, and cook temperature. If the original recipe did not use steam, reduce the temperature by 25°F (14°C), but not below 325°F (163°C).
Always start with a cold oven.
Preheating is not necessary when using steam roast.
Cleaning
With a paper towel lightly soaked in distilled white vinegar, wipe out bottom of oven cavity after the oven is cooled or before each use.
Use the self clean function to clean heavily soiled areas.
If residue remains after self clean, pour a thin layer of distilled white vinegar onto the bottom of the oven cavity. Allow to sit for 30 minutes. Wipe out vinegar.
Steam Bake
Steam creates the best conditions for baking bread on a single rack. Baked goods will have improved browning and texture and is recommended for baking moist and fl avorful breads and pastries such as baguettes and croissants.
Use fl at rack in position 3 for best results for Steam Bake. Pans should be pulled to the front of the rack.
To set Steam Bake:
1. Press Steam Bake.
2. Add 2-1/2 cups of water to oven bottom as di­rected.
3. Set the desired temperature using the number keys or use default of 350°.
4. Press START.

Cooking with Food Probe
Use the probe feature for best results when cook­ing foods such as roasts, hams, or poultry.
The Food Probe works with the following oven modes: Bake, Convection Bake, Air Fry, Convection Roast, Steam Roast, and Turkey.
The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature. The probe set­tings for how the oven behaves should be set fi rst in the oven menu.
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.
For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food.
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. For best results, do not allow the probe temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cook­ware.
Insert
probe tip
to center of
food
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 fi sh, insert meat probe just above the gill.
For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor into the thickest part of the breast.
CAUTION
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 and always use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

Setting the Sabbath Feature for the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays (some models)
For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at www.star-k. org.
This appliance provides special set­tings for use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all au­dible tones or visual display changes on the oven control. Bake is the only cooking feature available while in the Sabbath mode. Most oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.
To start Sabbath Mode, fi rst select Sabbath from the settings menu. Next, select Delay (if desired), Bake temperature, and cook time (if desired) and set. Cooking will begin after any specifi ed delay.
If cook time was set, once the time has elapsed, the cooking will end and the display will show Idle to indicate that the cook time has ended.
Important: The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 hour energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the cooking features are canceled. If cooking is canceled when the appli­ance is in the Sabbath mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the cancella­tion.
If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned o and the oven lights are turned o . The oven door will not activate the interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or closed.
It is recommended that any oven temperature modifi cation made within an active Sabbath mode press the + or - key.
The temperature will increase or decrease with each press by 5°F or 1°C and the change will be accepted automatically.
WARNING
Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fi sh, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator fi rst. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when fi nished cooking.
Important:
Do not attempt to activate any other oven function except Bake while the Sabbath feature is active. When the Sabbath feature is active, only the number keys and OFF will function. ALL OTHER KEYS should not be used once the Sabbath feature is active.
You may change the oven temperature once baking has started. Use the number keys and START to raise or lower the oven temperature.
Remember that the oven control will no longer provide audible tones or display any further changes when the Sabbath feature is active.
The oven will shut-o automatically after completing a bake time and therefore may only be used once during the Sabbath/Jewish Holidays.
To set Sabbath Mode:
1. Select a cooking function, such as Bake, and set the temperature.
2. Set a Cook Time and press START.
3. Press both Conv Bake and Conv Roast at the same time.
4. When Cook Time ends oven turns o automatically. SAb will be in display.
5. Press both Conv Bake and Conv Roast at the same time to exit Sabbath mode and show the time of day.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Figure 12: Add 1 cup of tap water
Figure 13: Clean around the oven door gasket
Notes:
Opening the oven door during the steam clean cycle prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed to clean.
For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the oven bottom.
A non-abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge, plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without cleaner) can be used for di cult soils. Moisten pads with water before use.
Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill while wiping out.
Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time.
Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to the oven vent and the oven door glass. This is normal. The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry.
Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water). If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a 50/50 solution of water and vine­gar or 50/50 solution of lemon juice and water.
Steam clean cannot be programmed with a delayed start time.
If Steam Clean results are not satisfactory, run a Self Clean. See “Self Clean” on page 47.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Self Clean
Self Clean cleans with very high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), eliminat­ing soils completely or reducing them to very fi ne powdered ashes you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.
The clean cycle lasts for 2-4 hours.
Before starting self clean read all following caution and important statements before starting a self clean cycle
CAUTION
Do not leave small children unattended near appliance. During self clean cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot and cause burns if touched.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom, or any part of the range with aluminum foil. This will cause permanent damage to the oven interior and destroy heat distribution, and will melt to the oven interior.
Do not force the oven door open. This will dam­age the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the oven door after the self clean cycle ends. The oven may still be very hot and cause burns. To avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven when opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.
Do not spray oven cleaners or oven protec­tive coatings in or around any part of the oven interior. 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 su ciently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.
Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle. To clean use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fi re when subjected to high temperatures.
Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie fi llings) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material in the gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, dam­age, or remove the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket and compromise the performance of the oven.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to fumes given o during the self clean cycle of any range. Move birds to a well ventilated room.
Important notes:
Completely remove all oven racks and any ac­cessories from oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.
Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including cookware, utensils, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high tem­peratures from a self clean cycle and will melt.
The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during the fi rst self clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors.
Do not attempt to open the oven door when the OVEN LOCK indicator light is fl ashing. Allow about 15 seconds for the motorized door latch mechanism to completely lock or unlock the oven door.
When the clean time fi nishes, the oven door will remain locked until the range has cooled suf­fi ciently. In addition to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you will be able to open the oven door.

Setting Self Clean
To set self clean:
Be sure the oven is empty and all oven racks are removed. Remove all items from the oven. Be sure oven door is completely closed.
1. Press Self Clean. The warning to remove RACKS will fl ash in the display to remind you that oven racks should be removed before a self clean. The default 3 hour clean time will appear in the display.
2. Use the number keys to adjust the cleaning time. Press START to activate self clean.
3. The RACKS warning will end and Self Clean will start. The motor door lock will begin locking the oven door. Do not open the oven door while the lock motor is running or when any locking indicators or displays are showing. The oven door is completely locked in about 15 seconds.
Once the oven door has locked, CLEAN will
appear in the display indicating self clean has started.
Do not force the oven door open when self-
clean is active. This can damage the auto­matic door-locking system.
Use caution when opening the door after
self-clean cycle is complete; the oven may still be very hot.
4. When self clean is fi nished: CLEAN message will turn o , and Hot will appear in display win- dow.
5. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot is no longer displayed, the oven door may be opened.
CAUTION: To avoid possible burns, 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 steam and air to escape.
When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the surface burners
To avoid possible burns, do not attempt cleaning before turning o all surface burners and allowing them to cool.
Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized qualifi ed 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 fl ame.
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.
Burner Cap
Burner Head
Orifi ce Holder
Ignitor
CAUTION
To avoid possible burns do not attempt to oper­ate the surface burners without the burner caps.
Do not use spray oven cleaner on the cooktop.
To clean burner heads:
1. Remove the burner cap and the burner head (see Figure 15). Clean with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly
2. For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy water to the burner head. Allow time for the soils to soften.
3. Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner head.
4. Use a needle or fi ne wire to clean out the igni­tion port.
5. Wipe the burner head clean with a soft, clean cloth, sponge, or scratch-free cleaning pad.
6. Before using the cooktop again, make sure the burner head has fully seated back into place and the burner cap is properly seated on the burner heads. You can wiggle the cap to test placement, neither the cap nor the head should slide out of position (see “Assembly of the Burner Caps” on page 14).
Figure 15: Burner cap, burner head, ignitor, and orifi ce
Important notes:
The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and must be cleaned in place on the cooktop.
• Always keep the surface burner caps in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
When replacing the burner caps, be sure the burner caps are seated fi rmly on top of the burner heads.
For proper fl ow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas orifi ce port opening.
CARE AND CLEANING
47
General Cleaning
Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information about cleaning specifi c parts of the oven.
Follow these cleaning precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appli­ance manually.
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie fi lling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the e ort required for major cleaning later.
CAUTION
Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned o and the oven is cool. The oven may be hot and can cause burns.
Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.
To remove heavy soil:
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven over­night or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened dirt spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer’s instruc­tions. Do not mix ammonia with other cleaners.
3. 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. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven before cleaning.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
48
CARE AND CLEANING
Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners
WARNING
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air fl ow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fi re hazard.
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these materials to the oven cavity and ruin the oven. These types of materials can also reduce the e ectiveness of the air circulation in the oven and produce poor baking results. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this man­ual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fi re.
Aluminum utensils - The melting point of alu­minum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used.
Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. Using a liner in the oven re­stricts the heat and air fl ow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven.
Replacing the Oven Light
CAUTION
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool before replacing the oven light.
The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and is covered by a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.
To replace the oven interior light bulb:
1. Turn electrical power o at the main source or unplug the appliance.
2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn counter-clockwise.
3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt appliance bulb.
NOTE
Wear a cotton glove or use a paper towel when installing a new bulb. Do not touch the new bulb with your fi ngers when replacing. This will short­en the life of the bulb.
4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the appliance back in).
6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.

The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door fl at with the inside of the door facing down.
IMPORTANT
CARE AND CLEANING
49
Special door care instructions - For safe, temporary storage, lay the door fl at with the
inside of the door facing down. Most oven doors contain glass that can break.
Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time. Do not close the oven door until all of the oven racks are fully in place.
To remove the oven door:
1. Open oven door completely, horizontal with fl oor (Figure 17).
2. Pull up the lock located on each hinge support toward front of the oven until the lock stops. You may have to apply a little upward pressure on the lock to pull it up (Figure 18).
3. Grasp the door by the sides, and close the door until the door frame makes contact with the unlocked hinges (Figure 19).
4. Pull the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the appli­ance to completely disengage the hinge levers (Figure 20).
Figure 17: Door hinge location
Figure 18: Door hinge lock
To replace the oven door:
