Important Safety Instructions
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 cancer, 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 LP with high butane gas content. 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.
When You Get Your Range
• 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 guide. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
• Plug your range into a 220-volt grounded outlet only. 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 outlet.
• 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 packing materials are removed fr om the range before operating it to prevent fire or
smoke damage should the packing material ignite.
• Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer.
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.
• 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.
Using Your Range
WARNING—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 guide. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
• 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.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They
could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.
• Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit 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 can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam­type fire extinguisher.
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a storage 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.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly
and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 77°C. (170°F.). This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.
Surface Cooking
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• Always use the LITE position (on electric ignition models) or the HI 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 .
• 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.
• Always turn the surface burners to off before removing cookware.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.
• 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 storage drawer or kick panel.
• Do not use a wok on models with sealed burners 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.
• 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.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
4
• When using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for top-of-range cooking.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
• Use proper pan size—Avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers and large enough to cover burner grate. 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.
• Keep all plastics away from the top burners.
• 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.
• 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.
• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flames.
• If range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard.
• When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot models), you will detect a faint odor of gas as your signal to relight the pilot. When relighting the pilot, make sure burner controls are in the off position, and follow instructions in this guide to relight.
• If you smell gas, and you have already made sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models), turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
Baking, Broiling and Roasting
• Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.
• Place the oven shelves in the desired position while the oven is cool.
• Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that
escapes can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf-stop 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.
• Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven except as described in this guide. 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.
• 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,
turn off oven control, and keep the oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.
Self-Cleaning Oven
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Guide.
• Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating 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.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the shelves, the broiler pan and grid and other cookware.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE
TO YOUR OLD ONE?
Y our new cooktop has gas burners. If you are used to cooking with induction or other electric surface units, you will notice some differences when you use gas burners.
The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or surface unit you have.
The following chart will help you to understand the differences between gas burner cooktops and any other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.
Type of Cooktop Description How it Works Gas Burners Regular or sealed Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but
gas burners. flat-bottomed pans provide more stability on top of the grates. Gas burners heat
the pan right away and change heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.
Radiant Electric coils Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on (Glass Ceramic) under a glass- the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to Cooktop ceramic cooktop. continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if
you want cooking to stop.
Induction High frequency Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is
induction coils produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away under a glass and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control surface. off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
Electric Coil Flattened metal Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best
tubing containing cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of electric resistance warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change wire suspended heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to over a drip pan. continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.
Solid Disk Solid cast iron Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good
disk sealed to the cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The cooktop surface. disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

SURFACE COOKING
Surface Burner Controls
The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are located on the control panel in front of the burners.
The two knobs on the left control the left front and left rear burners. The two knobs on the right control the right front and right rear burners.
Before Lighting a 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.
On ranges with sealed 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 right front burner is higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker.
To Light a Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it to LITE. 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.
In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the 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.
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using. FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE NEVER
LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.
(continued next page)
Cooktop Comparison Surface Cooking
After Lighting a Burner
• 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.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

SURFACE COOKING
(continued)
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 tight-fitting 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.
Stove Top Grills
(on models with sealed burners)
Wok This Way
(on models with sealed burners)
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.
We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.
A traditional round bottom wok can be used with Wok Holder accessory, model JXWK which can be ordered from your appliance dealer. The Wok Holder fits on top of the range grate to provide support and proper air circulation for traditional round bottom woks only. Do not use flat bottomed woks with the Wok Holder.
Do not use a wok on any other support ring.
Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring unless you are using the Wok Holder. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

USING YOUR OVEN
Before Using Your Oven Electric Ignition
Be sure you understand how to set the controls properly. Practice removing and replacing the shelves while the oven is cool. Read the information and tips on the following pages. Keep this guide handy where you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.
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 Moisture Fluorescent Night Light (on some models)
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.
Use the switch on the upper control panel to turn the light on and off.
Oven Light Automatic Oven Shut Off
Use the switch on the lower control panel to turn the light on or off.
As a safety feature, this oven will automatically shut itself off if it has been left on for more than 12 hours.

(continued)
The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop. See the Features section. Do not block these openings when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.
• The vent openings and nearby surfaces may become hot. Do not touch them.
• Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent.
• Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.
• Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop and could cause burns.
• 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.

Shelf Positions
The oven has five shelf supports for baking, roasting and broiling identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a large turkey—the shelf is not designed to slide out at this position. Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To remove a shelf from the oven, pull it toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull the shelf out.
To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with the stop-locks (curved extension of the shelf) facing up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

How to Set Your Range for Baking
To avoid possible burns, place shelves in the correct
position before you turn the oven on.
1. Press the BAKE pad.
2. Press the + or – pad until the desired temperature
is displayed.
The oven will start automatically . The word “ON” and “100°” will be displayed. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound.
3. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when baking is finished
and then remove the food from the oven.
To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, press the BAKE pad and then the + or – pad
to get the new temperature.
Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired. As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either shelf position B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

BAKING
(continued)
Preheating
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature— selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes. After the oven is preheated place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.
Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 2 to 4 cm (1 to 1
1
⁄2″) space between pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.
Baking Guides
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for best baking results.
Cookies
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.
Cookies can be baked on several shelves at the same time but browning may be uneven because of reduced air circulation.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven.
Aluminum Foil
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 centimeters below the food.
Do not put aluminum foil on the oven bottom.
17
Baking
Pies
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. Stagger the pies for most even browning. Frozen pies in foil pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.
Cakes
For best browning when baking several 20.3 cm or
22.9 cm (8or 9″) cakes, stagger them so one pan is not directly above another. Warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may overflow.
Baking Pans
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.
• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of pan.
• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be reduced by 12°C. (25°F.).
Don’t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such as “bake 30-40 minutes.”
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

TIMED BAKING

How to Time Bake
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during Timed Baking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or off automatically at specific times that you set.
NOTE: Before beginning make sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
To set the clock, first press the CLOCK pad. Press the + or – pad until the correct time of day is displayed. Press the CLOCK pad to start.
How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn the oven on. The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a
selected length of time. At the end of Cook Time, the oven will turn off automatically.
1. Press the COOK TIME pad.
2. Press the + pad until the desired length of baking
time appears in the display.
3. Press the BAKE pad.
4. Press the + or – pad until the desired temperature
is displayed. An attention tone will occur if step 3 is not done.
The oven will start automatically. The word “ON” and “100°” will be displayed. The Cook Time will begin to count down. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound. The oven will continue to cook for the programmed amount of time, then shut off automatically.
5. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad to clear
the display if necessary. Remove the food from the oven. Remember, even though the oven shuts off automatically, foods continue cooking after the controls are off.
NOTE: Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

How to Set Delay Start and Automatic Stop
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn the oven on. You can set the oven control to delay-start the oven,
cook for a specific length of time and then turn off automatically.
For example: Let’s say it’s 2:00 and dinner time is shortly after 7:00. The recipe suggests 3 hours baking time at 163°C. (325°F.). Here’s how:
1. Press the COOK TIME pad.
2. For 3 hours of cooking time, press the + pad until
“3:00” appears in the display.
3. Press the STOP TIME pad.
“5:00” appears in the display and “STOP TIME” flashes. The control automatically sets the Stop Time by adding the Cook Time to the time of day. In this example, the time of day is 2:00 and the Cook Time is 3 hours. Adding 3 hours to the time of day equals 5:00.
4. Change the Stop T ime from 5:00 to 7:00 by pressing
the + pad until “7:00” appears in the display.
5. Press the BAKE pad.
6. Press the + or – pad until “325°” is displayed.
At 4:00, the oven will turn on automatically. The word “ON” and “100°” will be displayed. The Cook Time will begin to count down. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. The oven will continue to cook for the programmed 3 hours and shut off automatically at 7:00.
7. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad to clear the display
if necessary. Remove the food from the oven. Remember, even though the oven shuts off automatically, foods continue cooking after the controls are off.
NOTE:
• The low temperature zone of this range [between 65°C. and 93°C. (150°F. and 200°F.)] is available to keep hot cooked foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than two hours at these low temperatures may spoil.
• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTA T—
DO IT YOURSELF!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think
it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make it hotter.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers may vary 11–22°C. (20–40°F.).
To Adjust the Thermostat:
1. Press the BAKE pad.
2. Select an oven temperature between 260°C. and
287°C. (500°F. and 550°F.).
3. Immediately, before the BAKE indicator stops
flashing, press and hold the BAKE pad for about 4 seconds. The display will change to the oven adjustment display.
4. The oven temperature can be adjusted up to
(+) 20°C. (35°F.) hotter or (–) 20°C. (35°F.) cooler. Use the + or – pads to select the desired change in the display.
5. After you have made the adjustment,
press the CLEAR/OFF pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. It will be retained in memory after a power failure.

ROASTING
Do not lock the oven door with the door latch during roasting. This is used for self-cleaning only.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should
be low and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum. 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 roasting a large turkey. The shelf is not designed to slide out at this position.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing, after being removed from the oven. The standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. The internal temperature will rise about 3°C. to 8°C. (5° to 10°F.); to compensate for the temperature rise, if desired, remove the roast from oven sooner [3°C. to 8°C. (5° to 10°F.) less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide].
Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

2. Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat fat-side-
up, or poultry breast-side-up, on roasting grid in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)
3. Press the BAKE pad.
4. Press the + or – pad until the desired temperature
is displayed.
The oven will start automatically. The word “ON” and “100°” will be displayed. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound.

roasting is finished and then remove the food from the oven.
To change the oven temperature during the roasting cycle, press the BAKE pad and then

Use of Aluminum Foil Dual Shelf Cooking
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan. This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.
This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same time. For example: while roasting a 10 kg (20 lb.) turkey on shelf (R) a second shelf may be added on position D so that scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time. Calculate the total cooking time to enable both dishes to complete cooking at the same time. Allow 15–20 minutes of additional cooking time.

Questions
Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a
meat thermometer?
A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the
completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For roasts over 3.6 kg (8 lbs.), check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the time has passed.
Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to
carve it?
A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to
20 minutes after removing from oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook
a roast or poultry? A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven. Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips
that would help me cook it more evenly? A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,
or buy rolled roasts.
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when
roasting a turkey? A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving
it unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown
the meat.
ROASTING GUIDE
Frozen Roasts
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes per 450 grams (1 pound) additional time [15 minutes per 450 grams (1 pound) for roasts under 2.3 kg (5 lbs.), more time for larger roasts.]
Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting. Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow directions given on package label.

BROILING
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.
The oven door must be closed during broiling.
Turn the food only once during broiling. Time the foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide. Turn the food, then use the times given for the second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.
Roasting Guide Broiling
1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through both about 5 cm (2″) apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 3 mm (1/8″) thick.
2. Place the meat on the broiler grid on the broiler pan
which comes with the range. Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.
3. Position the shelf on the recommended shelf
position as suggested in the Broiling Guide.
4. Close the oven door.
5. Press the BROIL pad.
6. Press the + pad once for LO Broil [232°C. (450°F)] or
press the + pad twice for HI Broil [287°C. (550°F)]. T o change from HI Broil to LO Broil, press the
BROIL pad and then the – pad once.
7. When broiling is completed, press the CLEAR/OFF
pad. Serve the food immediately, and leave the pan outside the oven to cool during the meal for easiest cleaning.
BROIL
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Questions and Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
grid in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling? A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also allows the juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A. Check to see if you are using the recommended
shelf position. Broil for the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling.
BROILING GUIDE
The oven door must be closed during broiling.
• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.
• For steaks and chops, slash the fat evenly around the outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing the juices.
• Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick pork chops thoroughly without over browning them.
• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling. Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only .
• When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could soil the oven.
• The broiler compartment does not need to be preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.
• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1

OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN
Normal Cleaning Time: 3 hours
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you begin the self-clean cycle.
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning
to prevent staining.
3.
Clean spatters or spills on the oven front frame, and the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-clean cycle. On these areas use detergent and hot water or a soap­filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution. This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket.
Clean the top, sides and outside front of the oven door with soap and water. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place. Do not rub or clean the door gasket
the fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results. 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.
4. Close the door and make sure the oven light is off. If
the oven light is not turned off, the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out immediately .
CAUTION: The grates and drip pans (on some models) should never be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus the high clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

Questions and Answers
Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of
day, can I still self-clean my oven?
A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day you
will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a specific time.
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part
of my self-cleaning oven?
A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any
part of this oven. If you do use them and do not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs
during cleaning?
A. This is caused by excessive soil. Press the
CLEAR/OFF pad. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and the word “LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.
Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear
during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and
cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.
Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning? A. Yes, there will be an odor during the first few
cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause a strong odor when cleaning.
Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled
surface of my oven?
A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating
and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after
cleaning?
A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is ash.
It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.
Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven
is self-cleaning?
A. Yes. While the oven is self-cleaning, you can use
the cooktop just as you normally do.
Q. The word “door” appeared in the display when
I selected the Clean Cycle. What’s wrong?
A. The door latch handle must be moved all the way
to the right. Move the latch handle and cleaning will start.

CARE AND CLEANING

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF YOUR RANGE.
Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven Care and Cleaning
Sealed Burner Assemblies
(on some models)
Burner Heads
(on sealed burners only)
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.
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 caps. Make sure that caps are replaced on the correct size burner. There is one small, 2 medium and one large cap.
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.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERA TE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER P ARTS AND DRIP P ANS (IF SO EQUIPPED) IN PLACE.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Standard Twin Burners
(on some models)
On models with standard twin burners, the cooktop lifts up for easy access.
Turn all controls OFF before removing burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates and drip pans (if so equipped) can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.
The holes in the surface burners of your range must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and an even, unhampered flame.
You should clean the surface burners routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog
these holes. Wipe off surface burners. If heavy spillover occurs, remove the surface burners from the range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the cooktop and then lift out the surface burners.
To remove burned-on food, soak the surface burner in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water. Soak the surface burner for 20 to 30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft Scrub
®
brand or Bon Ami®brand. Rinse well to remove any
traces of the cleanser that might clog the surface burner openings. Do not use steel wool because it
will clog the surface burner openings and scratch the surface burners. If the holes become clogged, clean them with a sewing needle or twist tie.
Before putting the surface burner back, shake out excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the range, making sure it is properly seated and level.
Check the flame pattern of each burner. If the flames are “jumpy” (not steady), clean the holes again with a sewing needle or twist tie.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERA TE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER P ARTS AND DRIP P ANS (IF SO EQUIPPED) IN PLACE.
Grate
Drip Pan (on some models)
Surface Burner
Clean these
holes
thoroughly
on each
burner.
Drip Pans (on some models)
Remove the grates and lift out the drip pans.
Drip pans can be cleaned in dishwasher or by hand. To get rid of burned-on food, place them in a
covered container (or plastic bag) with 62 ml (1/4 cup) ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.
When replacing the drip pans, make sure they are in the correct position.
CAUTION: Do not clean the drip pans in a self-cleaning oven.
Care and Cleaning
Burner Grates
Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. W ash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. After cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them in a warm oven for a few minutes. Don’t put the grates back on the range while they are wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.
T o prevent rusting on cast iron grates, apply a light coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container (or plastic bag) with 62 ml (1/4 cup) ammonia, for approximately 12 hours or overnight, to loosen the soil. Let sit overnight (or approximately 12 hours), then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse grates thoroughly and dry completely before replacing them on the range top.
Although they’re 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.
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.
CAUTION: Do not clean the grates in a dishwasher or in a self-cleaning oven.
31

Cooktop Surface Oven Bottom

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.
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.
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.
Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately. To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an abrasive cleaner or scouring pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning.
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.
Brushed Chrome Cooktop (on some models)
Clean the brushed chrome top with warm, soapy water or Bon Ami®brand cleanser and immediately dry it with a clean, soft cloth. Take care to dry the surface following the “grain.”
To help prevent finger marks after cleaning, spread a thin film of baby oil on the surface. Wipe away excess oil with a clean, soft cloth.
CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
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 DOOR:
(Do not immerse the door in water.)
Inside of 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 scouring pad.
• Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the
fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well­fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy­efficient oven operation and good baking results. 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.
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.
Inside Gasket Gasket Outside Gasket

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. W ash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap­filled 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 may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner. Do not use an oven cleaner on the grid.
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.
Grid
Pan
Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean
water and dry with a clean cloth. NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you
begin the self-clean cycle.

Care and Cleaning
Oven Light Replacement (on some models )
CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely.
The oven light bulb is covered with a removable glass cover that is held in place with a bail-shaped wire. Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach cover easily.
To remove:
1. Hold a hand under the
cover so it doesn’t fall when released. With fingers of the same hand, firmly push back the wire cover holder. Lift off the cover.
DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS TO REMOVE COVER.
2. Do not touch hot bulb with a wet cloth. Replace
bulb with a 40-watt household appliance bulb.
To replace cover:
1. Place it into the groove of the light receptacle. Pull
the wire forward to the center of the cover until it snaps into place. When in place, the wire holds the cover firmly. Be certain the wire is in the depression in the center of the cover.
2. Connect electrical power to the range.
Wire cover holder
Control Panel and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and 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. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. If knob is difficult to remove, place a towel or dishcloth between the knob and control panel and pull gently. Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaner. Dry with a soft cloth.
Removable Storage Drawer (on some models)
The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable material in the drawer.
The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under the range. Clean the storage drawer with a damp cloth or sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or scouring pads.
To remove the storage drawer:
1. Pull the drawer straight
out until it stops.
2. Tilt the front of the
drawer up and free of the range.
To replace the storage drawer:
1. Set the stops on the back of the drawer over the
stops in the range.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
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 kick panel or storage drawer (depending on the model).
Vent appearance and location vary
Lift-up Cooktop
(on models with standard twin burners)
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up.
To raise the cooktop:
1. Be sure the burners are turned off.
2. Remove the grates.
3. Grasp the two front burner wells and lift up.
Some models have dual support rods that will hold the cooktop up while you clean underneath it.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, soapy
water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
Removable Kick Panel (on some models)
The kick panel may be removed for cleaning under the range.
To remove, lift up the bottom of the panel slightly to disengage the panel from the tabs at the base of the range. Pull the bottom of the panel forward until the spring clips are released at the top of the panel.
To replace, insert the two slots at the bottom of the panel onto the two tabs at the base of the range and push the top of the panel forward to engage the spring clips.
Fluorescent Night Light (on some models)
CAUTION: Do not touch the bulb with wet hands or when the bulb is hot. Never wipe the light area with a wet cloth. Electrical power must be shut off if you have to replace the bulb.
1. With a phillips
screwdriver, remove the two screws.

PROTECT YOUR FLOOR
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 82°C. (180°F.). (See the Important Safety Instructions section of the Installation Instructions.)
KITCHEN CABINETS
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can withstand the heat generated [up to 93°C. (200°F.)] by the range. (See the Important Safety Instructions section of the Installation Instructions.)

PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of
25.4 cm (10) of water column on butane gas. Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is designed.
If you decide to use this range on a different type of gas, conversion adjustments must be made by a service technician or other qualified person before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of butane gas supplied to the regulator must be between 25.4 cm (10) and 33 cm (13) of water column. When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 2.5 cm (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. A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1.3 cm (1/2) and be 1.5 m (5) in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 1.8 m (6) in length.
1
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
(on some models)
Electrical Requirements
220-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.
Grounding
IMPORTANT—FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
3
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
(continued)
1. 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.
2. Install male 1.3 cm (1/2
) flare union adapter to the 1.3 cm (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 1.3 cm (1/2) flare union adapter to the 1.3 cm (1/2) NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure regulator. Use a back-up wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.
3. Install male 1.3 cm (1/2) or 1.9 cm (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.
4. Connect flexible metal appliance connector
to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
5. 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.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

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 + pad until “350°” appears in the display. 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, press the BROIL pad and then the + or – pad. After 30­90 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.
6
CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE BURNERS
Surface Burner Ignition
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 snapping 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.
5
Quality of Flames
The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined visually.
(A) Yellow flames—
Call for service
(B) Yellow tips on
outer cones—
Normal for butane gas
If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal burner flames should look like (B).
With butane gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.
SEAL THE OPENINGS
Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range when hookups are completed.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
The flames for the top (broil) burner should be steady with approximately 2.5 cm (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
2.5 cm (1) blue cones with small yellow tips at the end of outer cones. 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:
1. Remove the knurled screws holding down rear
of the oven bottom.
2. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side.
3. Lift the rear of the oven bottom enough to clear the lip of the range frame, then pull out.
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 storage drawer or the kick panel (depending on the model). Remove the drawer or panel. See the Care and Cleaning section in this guide.
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.
