Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Page 4
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation.
Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.
Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation of the range section.
WARNING: These adjustments must
be made by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.
Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the oven door, warming drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
CAUTION: Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.
Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range drawer or near a cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven or warming drawer can
be smothered completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the warming drawer.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.

SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil.
Oven shelves should be removed from the
oven before beginning the self-clean cycle.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
Do not clean the door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
SELF-CLEANING THE OVEN
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
The purpose of the warming drawer
is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the warming drawer.
Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
Do not leave paper products, plastics,
canned food, or combustible materials in the drawer.
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your drawer.
Do not warm food in the drawer for more
than two hours.
Do not touch the heating element or the
interior surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.
Use care when opening the drawer. Open
the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the
drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.

Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Place the oven shelves in the desired
position while the oven is cool.
Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest position is not designed to slide.
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the
oven except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
Use only glass cookware that is
recommended for use in gas ovens.
Always remove the broiler pan from range as
soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan.
When broiling, if meat is too close to the
flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups.
Make sure the broiler pan is in place
correctly to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
If you should have a grease fire in the broiler
pan, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad, and keep the oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.
For safety and proper cooking performance,
always bake and broil with the oven door closed.
The unit should not be operated in any
mode with the bake element removed.
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
OVEN
WARNING:
NEVER cover any
slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are placed in their respective positions.
Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.
You will hear a little clicking noise— the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Wok This Way
We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. They are available at your local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be dangerous to your health.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Stove Top Grills
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the 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.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight­fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Most griddled foods require cooking on a preheated surface. Preheat griddle according to the guide below, then switch to the desired cook setting.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods and be
careful of grease spill-over while cooking.
Do not use oil on the griddle for extended lengths
of time. Permanent staining and/or craze lines on the surface could result.
Never place or store any items on the griddle,
even when it is not in use. The griddle can become heated when using the surrounding burners.
Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the
griddle burner on at HI for an extended amount of time without food can damage the non-stick coating
.
Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points pr
rough sharp edges which might damage the griddle surface.
Do not cut foods on the griddle.

Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports (A through E), they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the shelf (stop­locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.
NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out at the special low shelf (R) position.
The oven has 5 shelf positions. It also has a special low shelf
position (R) for extra large items, such as a large turkey.

Power Outage

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the
electric ignition oven during an electrical power failure.
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This is because the flow of gas is automatically stopped and will not resume when power is restored until the glow bar has reached operating temperature.
Oven Light
Touch the OVEN LIGHT pad on the control panel to turn the light on or off.
Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear of the range. Do not block these ducts when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation—they may become hot.
Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.
Do not leave plastic or flammable items on the
cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left too close to the vent.
Do not leave closed containers on the cooktop.
The pressure in closed containers may increase, which may cause them to burst.
Metal items will become very hot if they are left
on the cooktop, and could cause burns.
Plastic items on the cooktop may melt if left too close to the vent.
Vent appearance and location vary.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 11⁄2between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall.

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a lower shelf several inches below the food.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
Follow suggested shelf positions in the
Broiling Guide.
The oven door must be closed during broiling.
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for
HI Broil.
To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again.
Touch the START pad.
Broil Preheat – After touching START,
the display will show preheat for approximately 10 minutes. The gas bake element will cycle on during preheat. Place your food in the oven after the preheat cycle has completed.
When broiling is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.
Serve the food immediately, and leave the pan outside the oven to cool during the meal for easiest cleaning.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.
Always use the broiler pan and grid that came with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.
†The U.S. Department of Agriculture says “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F. means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Y
our Kitchen
Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.)

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF.
Touch the BAKE pad. A two digit number shows in the display.
Touch BAKE once to decrease (-) the oven temperature, or twice to increase (+).
The oven temperature can be adjusted up as much as 35°F. or down as much as 35°F. Touch the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 15°F, touch 1 and 5.
When you have made the adjustment, touch the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE:
If your oven is equipped with oven
shelves, remove them before you begin the self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled scouring pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.
NOTE: Use caution when opening the oven after the self-clean cycle has ended. The oven may still be hot.
CAUTION: The unit should not be operated in any mode with the bake element removed.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad. Using the number pads, enter the
desired clean time, if a time other than 5 hours is needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 5 hours. You can change the clean time to any time between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending on how dirty your oven is.
Touch the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The display will show the clean time remaining. It will not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the LOCKED DOOR light goes off.
When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, open the door.
The oven shuts off automatically when the clean cycle is complete.

After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.
You cannot set the oven for cooking until
the oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.
While the oven is self-cleaning, you
can touch the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, touch the COOKING TIME pad.

NOTES:
The griddle is to be used over the center
burner only.
Do not clean the griddle in a dishwasher.
Wash with hot, soapy water after each use while
using a sponge or dishcloth.
If oil or food residue is left on the griddle,
further cooking will harden the residue and cause sticking over time. In this case, use a non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami
®
or one of the soft
scrub cleansers. Apply with a sponge, Scrunge
®
or other cleaning pad labeled safe for non­stick pans
Use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils or
SilverStone®kitchen tools to prevent marring of the coating.
Never use knives or cut food on the griddle.
Wash with hot, soapy water after each use. Store carefully to prevent scratching.
Griddle Precautions:
If something has spilled under the griddle, it
should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on” food soil.
Do not allow grease to accumulate under the
griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle as soon as it is cool. Clean with hot soapy water.
Do not place your griddle in the microwave.
Always turn off all surface burners before
removing the griddle. Use caution when handling a hot griddle.

Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles.
Burner Heads and Oval (Center) Burner Head/Cap Assembly
The burner heads and the oval burner head/cap assembly are removable. Simply lift them off the range for cleaning.
For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the section that fits over the electrode is kept open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it.
The slits in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.
Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow the burner to operate properly.
Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care to not hit an electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged.
Clean the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog the openings. Lift off when cool.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for 20–30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.
After cleaning
Before putting the burner caps, heads and oval head/cap assembly back, shake out excess water and then dry them thoroughly by setting in a warm oven for 30 minutes.
Replacement
Burner Heads
Replace burner heads over the electrodes on the cooktop, in the correct locations according to their size. There is one small, one medium, one large and one extra large burner head.

Cooktop Surface

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc., wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in an oven, drawer or near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range, under the warming drawer.
Control Panel
On models so equipped, lock out the touch pads before cleaning.
See the Control Lockout information in the Special features of your oven control section
in this manual. Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
You may also use a glass cleaner. Remove heavier soil with warm soapy water.
Do not use abrasives of any kind.
Unlock the touch pads after cleaning.
Vent appearance and location vary.
Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish.
Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up or down or by hanging a towel or other such loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.

Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door.
To remove the door, open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time. If the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out.
To clean the inside of the door:
Do not allow excess water to run into
any holes or slots in the door.
Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.
The area outside the gasket can be
cleaned with a soap-filled plastic scouring pad.
To clean the outside of the door:
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean
the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When the surface is cool, clean and rinse.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.
The broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the range.
CAUTION: Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-cleaning oven.
Lift the door straight up and off the hinges.
The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately.
We don’t recommend using aluminum foil on the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if the holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor baking performance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning.

WARNING!

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All ranges can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See Installing the Anti-Tip Device in this section.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged when you push the range back against the wall.
For your safety, never use your range for warming or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not be operated without cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your range and will void your warranty.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.
Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or similar material). When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.

Installation Instructions
PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
1
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5″ of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10 of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas, conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 5and 13 of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10 and 13of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
2
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line
in an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
B. Install male 1/2″ flare union adapter to the 1/2
NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.
C. Install male 1/2″ or 3/4flare union adapter to the
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
E. When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Electrical Requirements
You must use a 120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safety hazards associated with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
A word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required or recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These devices must be manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI’s in kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI­protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible.
Preferred Method
Ensure proper ground exists before use
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
3
A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will
be Disconnected Infrequently.
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter
ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Temporary Method
Ensure proper ground and firm connection before use
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Align large prongs/slots

Page 44
Installation Instructions
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
3
B. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will
be Disconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer should have the two­prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.
The installation of appliances designed for mobile home installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part
280) or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada, mobile home installation must be in accordance with the current CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.
Electric Disconnect
Locate disconnect plug on the range back.
Pinch sides of connector and pull out of range back.

CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE BURNERS
6
Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be checked after the range and gas supply lines have been carefully checked for leaks.
Electric Ignition Models
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in and turn to LITE position. You will hear a clicking sound indicating proper operation of the spark module. Once the air has been purged from the supply lines, burners should light within 4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE position. Try each burner in succession until all burners have been checked.
Quality of Flames
The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined visually.
If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending on the type of gas you use.
With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.
(C) Soft blue flamesNormal for
natural gas
(B) Yellow tips on outer cones

CHECK IGNITION OF OVEN BURNER
7
The oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically. To operate the oven, touch the BAKE pad and then touch the number pads until 350° appears in the display. Touch the START pad. After 30–90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and burn until the set temperature is reached.
Electric ignition models require electrical power to operate. In case of a power outage, the oven burners on these models cannot be lit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored.

Installation Instructions
ADJUST OVEN BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTER IF NECESSARY
8
Air adjustment shutter for the bottom burner regulates the flow of air to the flames.
The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near the back wall behind the warming drawer. Remove the drawer. See the Care and cleaning of the range section.
To adjust the flow of air to the burner, loosen the Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter toward open or closed position as needed.
To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning properly, remove the oven bottom. Flames should have approximately 1blue cones and, if range is supplied with natural gas, should burn with no yellow tipping. (With most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer cones are normal.) Flames should not lift off burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter opening until flames are stabilized.
To remove the oven bottom:
A. Remove the two screws securing the bake element
to the back of the oven and remove the element.
B. Remove the screws holding down rear of the
oven bottom.
C. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side.
D. Lift the rear of the oven bottom enough to clear the
lip of the range frame, push it back, and then pull it up and out.
