SAFETY IN S
Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven, near surface burners or in the drawer (if equipped), This includes paper, plastic,and cloth
items, such ascookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as
flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.
Do not leave children alone--Children should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the appliance.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACEBURNERS,AREAS NEARTHESE BURNERS,OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SUR-
FACESOFTHE OVEN. Both surface burners and oven heat- ing elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.
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 areasarethe cooktop,
surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and SUF faces 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 sup
faces.
Use proper pan size--Adjust flame size so
it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil The use of undersize utensils will exposed a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.
Do not use stove top grills on the burner grates
of sealed gas burners. If you useastove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.
Electronic controllers can be damaged by
cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of
time, make sure that it has been exposed to a tempera- ture above B°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before connecting
it to the power suppIy.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Always turn the knob to the LITEposition when igniting the
burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the
flame so it does not extend beyond tile edge of tile utensil.
Do not use water or flour on grease fires--Smother tile fire
with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam- type extinguisher.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
In caseof fire or gas leak, be suretoturn off the
main gas shutoff valve.
Use only dry potholders--Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
Do not heat unopened food containers--Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
Remove the oven doors from any unused range if it is to be
stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power fai[ure, if the power fails, always turn the ovens off, If the ovens are not turns off and the power resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.
Use proper pan size. This appliance isequipped with one or more surface burners of different sizes.Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. The
useof undersized utensils will expose aportion of tile surface burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface burner will also improve efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not ex-
tend 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 sothat it isturned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings--Boilovers causesmoking and greasyspillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use alumP
num foil as recommended for baking if used asa cover placed on tile food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or short circuit.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to tile sud- den change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's ree ommendations for rangetop use.
IMPORTANT
Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If aburner is accidentally turned on, tile decorative cover will become
hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burn- ers because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be
blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.
SAFETY iN
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
Do not dean or operate a broken cooktop--lf cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric,shock. Con- tact a qualified technician immediately.
Clean cooktop glass with caution--If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glasswith sharp objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
Use care when opening oven door--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 ovens vents unobstructed. Eachvent has its own vent located on tile top, near each side and towards the back of the cooktop. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven isoperating may causesevere burns. Also, do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near an oven vent. These
items could melt or ignite.
S
Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil, Ex- posed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Do- ing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect tile applP
ante or turn off the power to tile appliance before removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire, Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate on hood or filter. Greasydeposits inthe fan could catch fire. When you are flaming food under tile hood, turn
the fan on. Referto tile hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Beaware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
Jnthe self-CJeaning cycle only clean the parts listed in
this Use and Care Guide. Before self cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the
oven.
Do not use oven cleaners--No commercial oven cleaner
or ovens liner protective coating of any kind should be used
in or around any part of the oven.
Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while ovens are 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 tile ovens. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
Do not use the broiler pan without its grid. The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away
from tile high heat of the broiler.
Do not clean door gasket--The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or
move tile gasket.
Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds isextremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

SpedaMty Pans & Trivets
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in most cookshop or hardware stores. Round-bottomed woks (with asupport ring that does not extend beyond the burner unit) may also be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).
Wire trivets: Do not usewire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact
with the grates.
DO NOT use two burner units to heat one large pan such as a
roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensilsto boil dry. The bottom surface of the pan in either of these situations could cause discoloring or crazing of the appliance cook- ing surface, and damage to the grates and burner units.
DO NOT use a wok if it isequipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner unit. Becausethis ring traps heat,
the surface unit and cooktop surface
could be damaged.
Canning Tips &
mnformation
Canning (:an generate
large amounts of steam. Useextreme cau- tion to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to vent steam away from you.
1. 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.
2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat isspread more evenly when the bottom surface isflat.
3. Center canner on the burner grate.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting aslow aspossible to maintain
a constant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch Bond the edqe of the burner grate.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.
3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed
and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.
Liquefied Petroleum
(Propane) Gas Conversion
Any additions, changes
or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an
authorized Service Center, Distributor or Qualified Agency.
Flame Size
This appliance can be used with Natural Gas or Propane Gas. It isshipped from the factory for usewith natural gas. If you wish to convert your range for usewith LP/Propane gas,follow instructions and use the fixed orifices you will find in the bag marked "FOR LP/PROPANEGAS
CONVERSION". The conversion must be performed by a qualified installer, LPsupplier or service
technician in accordancewith tile installation instructions furnished with this rangeand all codes and requirements of all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Personal injury or death from electrical shock may occur ifthe range
is not installed by a qualified installer or electrician.
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Usethetable below asaguide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and tile amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking. For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surfa(e (ontrol knob ac(ordingly. If the fat istoo cool, the food will absorb the fat and begreasy. Ifthe fat istoo hot, tile food will brown soquickly that tile center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat frytoo much food at once asthe food will neither brown nor cook properly.
WRONG
*Flame Size High Flame
Medium Flame Low Flame
* These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids.
Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increasesyour risk of being burned by tile flame.
Type of Cooking Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
Proper Burner
Adjustments
Thecolor of the flame istile key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame isclear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Eachcone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To adjust the flame seethe Installation Instructions and to clean burner, seeinstructions under General Cleaning.

Broiling [nformations
(Right Oven)
Broil Stop
Right Oven
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat from the broil element of the oven. Meats are placed on the broiling rack and the rack is placed under the broiling element.
Seethe broiling instructions for right oven in the Electronic Oven Control guide. See side oven step-by-step instructions in the Setting Oven Controls (Left Oven, If
Equipped) section.
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (remove the broiler pan before preheating; food will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROILasinstructed in the Electronic Oven Control guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 min utes. Preheating isnot necessarywhen broiling
meats well-done.
To Broil
Broil on one side until the food isbrowned; turn and cook on the other side; season and serve. Always pull rack outto the stop position beforeturning or removing food.
Determining Broiling Times Broiling times vary; watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance
from the element, but on the thickness and age of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. Thefirst side usually requires afew minutes longer than tile second. Frozen
meats also require additional time.
Broiling Tips
The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping greaseto drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil The exposed grease couJd ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, closethe oven door and turn off the oven.
If the fire contin ues,throw baking soda onthe fire or use afire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
AJways puJt oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
Broiler CJean-Up Tips:
To make cleaning easier, line bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT (:over the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven assoon ascooking iscompleted. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean tile broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, usesoap- filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.

Convection Cooking and Baking
(Right Oven, tf Equipped)
Theconvection option, available on some models, isan alternative to tile conventional oven cooking methods of baking/roasting.
Convection cooking is a method of cooking in which the heated air of the oven is circulated by a fan at the rear of the oven cavity, providing better heat distribution. This fan is covered by a baffle to circulate the air uniformly, providing even heat distribution for faster and more even cooking, baking and browning. The heated air penetrates food from every angle, sealing in natural moisture and flavors. The convection fan automatically turns off when the oven door is opened and resumes when the door is closed again. However, the heating element will stay
on.
The oven can be programmed to bake in tile convection mode at any temperature from 170°F/80°C to 550°F/288°C. Preheating the oven for !0-12 minutes is recommended when using convection but not necessary when roasting or cooking
casseroles.
Air circulation
during convection cooking.
Convection Roating
(Right Oven, tf Equipped)
CAUTION: In the convection mode, using cooking times from conventional cooking recipes may cause food to be overcooked. For satisfactory results, use only tested recipeswith times adjusted for convection cooking. Obtaining and using a convection oven cookbook is highly recommended.
Convection cooking usesa lower temperature and takes less time to achieve the same results asconventional cooking. In convection mode, the actual temperature in your oven automatically adjusts to be 25°F/12°C lower than the temperature displayed on tile oven control panel. Because of this automatic adjustment you (:an enter the cooking temperature from your existing conventional cooking recipe, but do not set the cooking time to be the same. Evenat the lower cooking temperature, convection cooking times will be as much as 30% lessthan conventional cooking
times.
When programming cooking times for convection cooking, enter a time that is20 to 30 percent lessthan calledfor in your conventional cooking recipe. After tile cooking cycle ends, decide if tile food is done to satisfaction, slightly overdone or slightly underdone (if underdone, cook a short time longer to satisfaction). Make a note of the time and results, and with your next use of the recipe adjust cooking time accordingly.
When convection roasting, use the broiler pan and grid, and the roasting rack. Tile broiler pan will catch grease spills andtile grid will help prevent grease spatters. Tile roasting rack will hold the meat.
Roasting Rack
1. Placeoven rack on bottom or next to bottom rack position.
2. Place the grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on tile grid allowing the heated air to circulate under tile food for even cooking and helps to increase browning on the underside. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler pan. DO NOT usebroiler pan without tile grid. DO NOT cover the grid with aluminum foil.

Oven Cleaning
(Right Oven)
clean door hand clean seal
Adhere to the FoBBowing Precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self<lean cycle, the outside of the wall can become very
hot to touch. DO NOT leavesmall children unattended near the appliance. A venti- lation system starts automatically; it is normal for the hot air to be evacuated through
the front of the appliance.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven
control is turned off or else push CANCELpad. Wait until the oven iscool.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birdsto another well ventilated
room,
DO NOT usecommercial over] cleanersor over] protective coatings it] or around any part of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door isessential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. DO NOT usealuminum foil to line tile oven bottom. This may affect cooking, or tile foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self<leaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking tem- peratures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ashyou can wash away with damp cloth.
Preparing for the Self-Cleaning Cycle
1. Removeexcessspillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-clean cycle. To clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke
or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOTallow food spillswith a high sugar or acid content (such astomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to
remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
2. Clean all soil from the oven frame and the inner door (see illustration to right). These areasheat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean with
soap and water. Do not clean door seal becausedoing so can permanently dam- age it.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert all utensils and any foil. These items do not withstand high cleaning temperatures.
4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the clean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed and the
oven has cooled, rub the sides or the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil. This will make tile racks glide easier.
What to Expect During Cleaning
While the oven self<.leans, it heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor isalso normal asthe food soil isbeing removed. Smoke may appear through tile oven vent, located on both sides of the cooking surface.
If heavy spillovers 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.
NOTE: When the oven reaches its self-clean temperature, the smoke level will be reduced to vapor.
Setting the Control for a Clean Cycle

Oven Cleaning
(Left Oven, If equipped)
Porcelain Enamel Oven Cleaning Porcelain has a smooth finish and is atype of glass fused to metal. Oven cleaners
can be used on all interior oven surfaces.
Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:
Allow tile oven to cool before cleaning.
Wear rubber gloveswhen cleaning the appliance manually.
Remove splllovers and heavy soils as
soon as possible. Regular deanlngs wilt reduce the number of future
major (leanings.
Ammonia must be
rinsedbefore operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
General Cleaning Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such asmilk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
To Remove Heavy Soil
1. Allowa dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened spots using hot, soapy water. Rinsewell with
water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, usean oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT
mix ammonia with other cleaners.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches because it could causeashort circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing bulb located at the top left rear corner of the oven; it could cause the oven to heat improperly. Carefully wipe the bulb (:lean after each oven (:leaning, being careful not to move tile bulb. A change in its position could affect howthe oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, handles or any exterior surfaces of tile range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
General Cleaning
To Clean the Oven Bottom Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad or
oven cleaner following oven cleaner manufacturer's instructions.
DO NOT line the oven walls, bottom, racks or any other part of the
appliance 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).
Changing Oven Light
Besure tile oven isunplugged and all parts are COOL before replac-
ing the oven light bulb. Do not turn the oven light on during a self-cleaning cycle. High temperature will reduce lamp life.
To Change the Oven Light The oven light automatically turns on when the door is opened (some models). To turn tile oven light on and off when tile door isclosed, usethe OVEN LIGHTswitch located on the control panel.
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the oven.
2. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.
3. Presswire holder to one side to release the glass shield.
4. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
5. Replace glass shield in socket and snap wire holder into place.

To Cmean the Burner Grates, Contoured Burner Pans, Burner Caps, and Burner Bases,
The burner grates, contoured burner pans, burner cap, and burner base should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner ports cleanwill prevent improper ignition and
an uneven flame. Follow instructions below.
To Cmeanthe Contoured Burner Pans
The square burner pans are attached to the cooktop and are not removable. The burner pan forms a recessed well area located around each burner urfit. If a spill occurs in one of the four we[[ areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinsewith a dean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To Cmeanthe Grates
Any remaining soil may be removed by gently scouring with a soapy scouring pad.
Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clean water and ammonia./fnecessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinsewith clean
water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinseand wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners thoroughly or the grate porcelain raay
become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners.
To Cmeanthe Burner Caps
Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps. If necessary, cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 minutes. Rubgently with asoap-filled scouring pad and rinse with a mixture of clean water and vinegar. Wipe dry. Remove all cleaners thoroughly or the burner cap porcelain may becorae damaged during future heating.
To Cmeanthe Burner Bases and Gas Openings
The ports (or slots) around the burner base must be routinely cleaned. Use a sma[P gauge wire or needle to clean small slots or holes. Usecare to prevent damage to the electrode. If a cleaning cloth should catch the electrode, it cou Idbreak or damage the electrode. If the electrode is damaged or broken, the surface burner will not light because it will not spark. Manual lighting with a match is still possible.
For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner--DO NOTALLOW SPILLS,FOOD, CLEANING AGENTSOR ANY OTHERMATERIAL TO ENTERTHEGAS OPENING. Gas
must flow freely through the small hole in the brass orifice for the burners to light properly. Ifthe gasopening orifice becomes soiled or clogged, usea small-gauge wire or needle to clean. ALWAYS keep the burner cap assembly and ring in place
whenever a surface burner is in use. After cleaning make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level. Turn the
burner on to determine ifit will light. Ifthe burner does not light after cleaning, contact a Service Center. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.
