IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.

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 device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.

WARNING

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

■Have your range installed and properly

grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.

■Do not attempt to repair or replace any part

of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.

■Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded

outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, threeprong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. 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.

Fluorescent light bulbs and safety valves on standing pilot ranges contain mercury. If your model has these features, they must be recycled according to local, state and federal codes.

Operating Instructions

Safety Instructions Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips

■Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent pilot outage (on standing pilot models) and 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, storage drawer, 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.

■For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

■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 storage drawer, a warming 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 wellfitting 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, storage drawer or kick panel.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Operating Instructions

Safety InstructionsInstallation InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

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.

WARNING!

SURFACE BURNERS

■Always use the

LITE

position (on electric

ignition models) or the

position (on standing pilot models) when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

■Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

■Adjust the top burner flame size so it does

not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

■Use only dry pot holders— moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.

■When using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for top-of-range cooking.

■To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners.

■Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

■Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

■If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.

■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

■Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

■When flaming foods are under the hood,

turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flames.

■Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if

the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

■Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

■Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

■Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

■Keep all plastics away from the surface

burners.

■To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are at the

OFF

position and all grates are cool

before attempting to remove them.

■ If range is located near a window, do not

hang long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and create a fire hazard.

■If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

■Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

Page 7

■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 warming drawer to dry

newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils or food in the warming drawer when not in use.

■Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in

or near your warming drawer.

■Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and

canned food a safe distance away from your warming drawer.

■Do not warm food in the warming drawer

for more than two hours.

■

Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the warming drawer.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the warming 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.

Safety Instructions Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips

■Avoid scratching the glass cooktop surface.

The glass surface can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.

■Do not operate the cooktop if the glass is

broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass cooktop surface become broken.

■Never use the glass cooktop surface as a

cutting board.

■Do not place or store items that can melt or

catch fire on the glass cooktop surface, even when it is not being used.

■Be careful when placing spoons or other

stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.

■Clean the cooktop surface with caution. If a

wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

NOTE:

We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface areas until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please see

Cleaning

the glass cooktop surface

section.

■When the cooktop surface is cool, use only

the recommended cleaning cream to clean the cooktop.

■To avoid possible damage to the cooking

surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.

■After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel

to remove all cleaning cream residue.

■Read and follow all instructions and warnings

on the cleaning cream labels.

Use care when touching the glass cooktop surface. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

self-cleaning operation.

■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove

the shelves, broiler pan, grid and other cookware.

■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.

■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

■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 OVEN

■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 “R” is not designed to slide.

■Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

■Never use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom. Improper use of foil could start a fire.

■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, press the

CLEAR/OFF

pad, and keep the oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.

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

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.

Using the gas surface burners.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

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.

Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

How to Select Flame Size

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware.

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.

In Case of Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the

LITE

position. Use extreme caution when

lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

Before Lighting a Gas Burner

■If drip pans are supplied with your range,

they should be used at all times.

■Make sure all grates on the range are in

place before using any burner.

After Lighting a Gas Burner

■Do not operate the burner for an

extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

■Be sure the burners and grates are cool

before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

Sealed Gas Burners

The smaller burner (right rear position) will give the best simmer results. It offers precise cooking performance for delicate foods, such as sauces or foods which need to cook over low heat for a long time. It can be turned down to a very low simmer setting.

The largest burners are higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker.

Using the gas surface burners (cont.).

Wok This Way

We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. Do not use a flat-bottomed wok with a wok holder.

Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current 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.

unit will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even when the cooktop is cool.

■

Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.

■

Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.

■

Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.

■

Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.

NOTE: On some models with a white glass cooktop, it is normal for the surface to appear discolored when it is hot. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools.

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

Always place the pan in the center of the warming zone.

The

WARMING ZONE

, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food.

Push and turn the control knob to any desired setting.

For best results, all foods on the

WARMING

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 supports, 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 upper

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 items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent.

■

Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, 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 when convection baking and 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⁄

″between 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.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

The oven has a special low shelf (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when cooking a large turkey. The shelf is not designed to slide out at this position.

Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips

Using the probe (on some models).

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.

Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe.

Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the food and outlet.

■

To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.

■

To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting.

■

To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.

■

Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

■

Do not store the probe in the oven.

The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven.

After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement.

Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.

For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle.

Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles.

Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.

How to Set the Oven For Roasting When Using the Probe

Insert the probe into the food.

Plug the probe into the outlet in the oven. Make sure it’s pushed all the way in. Close the oven door.

Touch the

PROBE

pad.

Touch the number pads to set the desired internal food or meat temperature.

Touch the

BAKE

pad.

Touch the number pads to set the desired oven temperature.

Touch the

START

pad.

The display will flash if the probe is inserted into the outlet and you have not set a probe temperature and touched the START pad.

After the internal temperature of the food reaches 100°F., the changing internal temperature will be shown in the display.

When the internal temperature of the food reaches the number you have set, the probe and the oven turn off and the oven control signals. To stop the signal, touch the

CLEAR/OFF

pad. Use hot pads to remove the probe from the food. Do not use tongs to pull on it—they might damage it.

To change the oven temperature during the Roast cycle, touch the

BAKE

pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.

■

If the probe is removed from the food before the final temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the display will flash until the probe is removed from the oven.

Using the convection oven.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking.

To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines.

Convection Bake

■

Preheat the oven. See the Using the Oven– Preheating and Pan Placement section.

■

Ideal for foods cooked on multiple shelves.

■

Good for large quantities of baked foods.

■

Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food.

Convection Roast

■

Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Using the grid and broiler pan provided, heated air will be circulated over and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

Roasts or poultry should be cooked on shelf position (A).

When you are convection roasting it is important that you use the broiler pan and grid for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

■Place the shelf in shelf position (A).

■Place the grid on the broiler pan.

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time than with regular heat.

Grid

Broiler pan

Automatic Convection Conversion

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.

When using CONVECTION BAKE, the oven will automatically convert the oven temperature from regular baking to Convection Bake temperatures.

Using the number pads, enter the temperature recommended in the recipe.

Touch the

START

pad.

The display will show the temperature you entered from your recipe. The oven will automatically convert it to the convection cooking temperature.

Touch the

CLEAR/OFF

pad when

baking is finished.

■

Use pan size recommended.

■

Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package.

Safety Instructions Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F. can also be used, when oven is below 400°F.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.

■

Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans.

■

Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting

Touch the

CONVECTION BAKE

CONVECTION ROAST

pad.

Touch the number pads to set the desired oven temperature.

Touch the

START

pad.

To change the oven temperature, touch the

CONVECTION BAKE

CONVECTION ROAST

pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.

When the oven starts to heat the changing temperature, starting at 100°F., will be displayed. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.

Touch the

CLEAR/OFF

pad when

finished.

NOTE: You will hear a fan while cooking with convection. The fan will stop when the door is opened but the heat will not turn off. The fan will not start until the preheat temperature is reached.

Multi-Shelf Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple shelves.

Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quickbreads give very good results with multi-shelf baking.

When baking larger foods on 3 shelves, place one shelf in the 2nd (A) position, one on the 4th (C) position and the third shelf in the 6th (E) position.

When baking cookies, place the shelves in the 4th (C), 5th (D), and 6th (E) positions.

When convection baking with only 1 shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in the Using the Oven section.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

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

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 1and

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.

NOTE: The thermostat adjustment for Baking will also affect Convection Baking or Convection Roasting.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

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.

Using the self-cleaning oven.

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 shelves, broiler pan, broiler grid, probe, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

The oven shelves can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

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 steel-wool 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.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

Sealed Burner Assemblies—porcelain cooktop models

Turn all controls

OFF

before removing the

burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped).

The burner grates, caps, burner heads and drip pans (if so equipped) can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the burner head is removed. 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.

Burner Heads

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 of your range must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.

You should clean the surface burners routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog these openings.

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.

Before putting the burner head back, shake out excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes.

Replace the burner heads and caps. Make sure that the heads and caps are replaced in the correct location. There are 2 large, one medium and one small head and cap.

NOTE: Before removing the burner heads and caps, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning.

Burner Caps

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.

Dry them in a warm oven or with a cloth— don’t reassemble them wet. Replace the burner caps.

Make sure that caps are replaced on the correct size burner. There are 2 large, one medium and one small head and cap.

Burner Grates

Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. When replacing the grates, be sure they are positioned securely over the burners.

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

To remove burned-on food, use a soapfilled scouring pad.

Although they are durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures. You will notice this sooner with lighter color grates.

NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a dishwasher or in a self-cleaning oven.

For porcelain cooktop models only:

■ After cleaning the grates, dry them

thoroughly by putting them in a warm oven for a few minutes. Do not put the grates back on the range while they are wet. When replacing the grates, make sure they are positioned securely over the burners.

■ To prevent rusting on cast iron grates,

apply a light coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.

Cooktop Surface (on porcelain cooktop models)

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 store flammable materials in an oven 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.

Cleaning the glass cooktop surface (on some models).

Clean the glass surface with cleaning cream before you use the cooktop for the first time. Also, clean the glass surface after each use. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.

To clean the cooktop seal around the edge of the glass, let a wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean. Use a mild detergent if needed.

Do not use a knife or any sharp object on the seal because it will cut or damage it.

Normal Cleaning

Use only a recommended cleaning cream, such as Cerama Brite or another cooktop cleaning cream, on the glass cooktop surface.

To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass cooktop follow these steps.

Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.

Remove the grates and clean the surface with the cleaning cream after each use.

Rub a few drops (less is better) of the cleaning cream onto soiled area using a damp paper towel. Buff with a dry paper towel until all soil and cream are removed.

For Heavy, Burned-On Soil…

Allow the cooktop and grates to cool.

Remove the grates and apply a few drops of cleaning cream to the cool, soiled area. Spread the cream across the entire soiled area.

Hold scraper at a 45° angle against the glass ceramic surface. This 45° angle makes the scraping easier.

Scrape soil with the enclosed razor scraper. Keep small amount of cream on the soil as you scrape. Heavily soiled areas may require repeated applications of cream. It will be necessary to press down on the razor scraper while scraping the soiled area with cooktop cream.

Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above.

Special Care for Sugary Spills

Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot.

Special care should be taken when removing hot substances.

Turn off all surface units and, with an oven mitt, remove hot pans and grates.

Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper at a 45° angle to the cooktop. Scrape the hot spill to a cool area outside the surface unit.

With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to remove any excess. Any spillover remaining should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled. Do not use the surface unit until all of the spillover has been removed. Follow the steps under

Heavy Burned-On Soil

continue the cleaning process.

Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface if the 45° angle is maintained.

Our testing shows that if you are cooking high sugar mixtures such as jelly or fudge and have a spillover, permanent damage to the cooktop surface may occur unless the spillover is immediately removed.

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 steel wool or plastic 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 steel-wool pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning.

IMPORTANT:

Remove all packing material and literature from oven before connecting gas and electrical supply to range.

CAUTION:

Do not attempt to operate the oven of this range during a power failure (Electric Ignition models only).

■Have your range installed by a qualified

installer.

■Your range must be electrically grounded

in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition). In Canada, electrical grounding must be in accordance with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes. See

Electrical

Connections

in this section.

■Before installing your range on linoleum

or any other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand 180°F. without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting

unless a sheet of 1/4″thick plywood or

similar insulator is placed between the range and carpeting.

■Make sure the wall coverings around the

range can withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°F.

■Avoid placing cabinets above the range.

To reduce the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames of operating burners, install a ventilation hood over the range that

projects forward at least 5″beyond the front

of the cabinets.

■The ventilating hood must be constructed

of sheet metal not less than 0.0122″thick.

Install above the cooktop with a clearance of

not less than 1/4″between the hood and the

underside of the combustible material or metal cabinet. The hood must be at least as wide as the appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface and the ventilation hood surface

MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.

EXCEPTION:

Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.

■If cabinets are placed above the range,

allow a minimum clearance of 30″between

the cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.

■If a 30″clearance between cooking surface

and overhead combustible material or metal cabinets cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the cabinets above the cooktop

with not less than 1/4″insulating millboard

covered with sheet metal not less than

0.0122″thick.

■Clearance between the cooking surface and

protected cabinets

MUST NEVER BE LESS

THAN 24 INCHES.

The vertical distance from the plane of the cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets

Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

IMPORTANT!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.

Take the accessory pack out of the oven.

Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.

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.)

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.

WARNING!

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

Page 44

Installation of the range (cont.).

Provide Adequate Gas Supply

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4″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 4″and 13″of water column.

For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between

10″and 13″ of water column.

When checking for proper operation of the

regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1″

greater 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 1/2″and 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

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 an A.G.A.-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.

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.

Install male 1/2″flare union adapter to the 1/2″NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of

regulator. On models equipped with standard twin burners, install the male pipe thread end

of the 1/2″ flare union adapter to the 1/2″

NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure 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.

Install male 1/2″or 3/4″ flare 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.

Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

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

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch 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 groundingtype appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch 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.

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.

Preferred Method

Temporary Method

Ensure proper ground exists before use

Ensure proper ground and firm connection before use

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

Align large prongs/slots

Page 48

Installation of the range (cont.).

Electrical Connections

Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will be Disconnected Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer should have the two-prong 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 SetUps), 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.

Check Ignition of Oven Burner

The oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically. To operate the oven, press the

BAKE

pad and then press 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. The oven burner will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the display.

To check ignition of the broil burner, touch the

BROIL HI/LO

pad and then the

START

pad. After

30-90 seconds, the broil burner will ignite.

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.

Page 50

Installation of the range (cont.).

Adjust Broil and Oven Burner Air Adjustment Shutters if Necessary

Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burners regulate the flow of air to the flames.

The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil) burner is in the center of the rear wall of the oven.

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 either burner, loosen the Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter toward open or closed position as needed.

The flames for the top (broil) burner should be

steady with approximately 1″blue cones and should

not extend out over the edges of the burner baffle.

To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning properly, remove the oven bottom. Flames

should have approximately 1″blue 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:

Remove the knurled screws holding down rear of the oven bottom.

Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side.

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.
