Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door, storage drawer or eooittop.
They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury•
CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE--CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range• Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces
and may cause severe bums.
Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the range
(continued)
Never pick up a flamingpan.
.Do not use water on grease fires.
Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by
covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flattray.Use alnulti-purpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher• Flaming grease outside apan 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•
Flamein the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven
off or b.yusing a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher•
.When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 17001:`. 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.
.Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the range.
Alwayskeep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance
from your range.
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from your range.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
.Do not storeflammable materials in an oven,
a range 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.
Donot let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Surface Cooking
Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the
burners have ignited.
.Never leavethe surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boiloverscausesmoking and greasy spilloversthatmay catch on fire
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the eookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
. Use only dry pot holders--moist
may result inburns from steam
Do not letpot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder• Such cloths can catch fire on a hot burner•
When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.
To minimize the possibility of bums,
ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the
side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners.
4
ways turn the surface burner controls 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 airinlet and outlet that
are necessary forthe range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located
at the rear of thecooktop,at the top of the oven
door,and under the storage drawer.
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
actsas 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
carbonmonoxide levelabove that allowed by current standards, resulting in ahealth 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.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--- they may melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep allplasticsaway from the surface burners•
Do not leave any items on the€ooktop.The hot
air from the vent may ignite flammable items and
willincrease pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.
Ifyou smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and
call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak,
To avoid the possibility of a bum, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at the off position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
Never clean the eooktopsurface when it is hot.
Some cleanersproduce noxious fumes and wet cloths could cause steam bums if used on
a hot surface.
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings
on or near your range•
iethe least possible amount of fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying• Filling the pan too
full of fat can cause spilloverswhen food is added
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly, andwatch as it heats•
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.
Use proper pan size--Avoidpans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flatbottoms large enough to cover burner grates.
Toavoidspillovers,make sure cookware is large
enough to contain the food properly. This will both
savecleaning time andprevent hazardous
accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or
spilloversleft on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easilygrasped and remain cool.
Whenflaming foods are under the hood, turn
,e fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flames•
Oven
Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items
stored in the oven can ignite•
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
Keep the oven free from grease buildup,
Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool.
Pulling out the shelf to the shelf-stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods• It is also a precaution against bums from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
oonot heat unopened food containers. Pressurecould build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury•
Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven except as describedin this guide• Misuse could
resultin a firehazard or damage to the range
When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the package directions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch fire.
Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in ovens.
When broiling, if meat is too dose to the flame,. the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups
After broiling,always take the broiler pan out of the range and clean it. Leftover greasein the broiler
pan can catch firenext time you use the pan.
If you should have a grease fire in the broiler pan, turn the oven off and keep the oven door
closed to contain fireuntil it bums out.
Keep the range dean and free of accumulations
of grease or spnlovers,which may ignite.
Self-Cleaning Oven
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before self-cleaning operation.
L.P. Conversion
Your range is shipped from the factory set to operate only with Natural Gas. If you wish to use
your range with Liquefied Petroleum Gas, have the
installer check the Installation Instructions that came with your range.
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.
SAVE TItF E
INSTRUCTIONS
Clean only parts list_ in the Use and Care Guide.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, rack and other cookware.
Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Be careful not to rub,
damage or move it.
.If the seif-deaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
Donot 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.
Listen for a fan---afan noise should be heard sometime during the cleaning cycle. If not, call
for service before self-cleaning again.

PREPARATION
,oring Under the Range
Your range, like so many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving
the range on this type of flooring, it should be
installed on a 1/4-inch-thick sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows: When thefloor covering
emis 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.
Leveling the Range
Use a 1 N" open-end or adjustable wrench to equally back out the four legs. The flanges (rims) below the
sides of the cooktop must be raised above the top of the countertop. Carefully slide the range into its
installation space. Observe that it is clearing the
countertop. Then place a spirit level or a glass
measuring cup partially filled with water on one of the oven shelves to check for levelness. If using a
spirit level, take two readings, with the level placed
diagonally first in one direction and then the other.
just the four legs carefully. Level the range front to
L,ackand side to side. The range legs must rest on the fl_x_r.The range must not hang from the countertop.
How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the prtnluct, the safest way to remove adhesive left from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of
a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or ctx_king oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to
thoroughly clean and protect the surface. NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from
the chrome trim on range parts. It cannot be removed
if it is baked on.
Removing Packing Materials
Check your range to insure all packaging materials and protective tape covering are removed from areas such as 'the door trim, cooktop frame,
under burner caps, end caps, etc. before using.

SURFACE COOKING
ctric Ignition
Your surface burners are ht by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with
constantly burning names.
In case of a power failure, you can light the surface
burners onyour 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.
To Light a Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise
to LITE. After the burner ignites, turn the knob to
adjust the Ilame size. To turn the burner off. turn the
knob clockwise as tar as it will go, to the OFF [x)sition.
The rear and left front burners are best for smaller pans and cooking operations requiring carefully
controlled simmering conditions. The front right
burner is a high power burner for larger pans and fast Nil ling operations.
Surface Burner Controls
Knobs that turn the surface burners on and offare
marked as to which burners they control. 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.
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,
Check to be sure the burner you turn on is the one
you want to use.
Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other materials on them.
Simmer Burner
The smallcn"burner (right rear position) will give the best simmer results.
The lowest setting of the burner has a small flame to provide simmering capability. To simmer foods, set the cookmp control knob to the lower setting that wil:
maintain the desired simmer. If simmering on one burner and the other burners are turned on, the gas
flow of the simmering burner may have to be adjusted.
Super Burner
On some models, the right front burner is cone- shaped with a circular opening through the center of
the burner. This burner can provide 30% more power than any one of the other three. Use it for conning or
large pans.

SURFACE COOKING
(continued)
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.
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 cox)king methcxls.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware_those tbr oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed X_L_ /
wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly
andcooIsvery slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's dil_ctions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone hits poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily ir they are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these _: )' 2
types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be
dangerous. Placing the ring ....
eve; 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. You could be
seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

1. l.ook at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them properly.
2. Check the oven interior. Lxmkat the shelves.
Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over information and tips that follow.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your
new range.
NOTE:
Youmay notice a "burning" or "oily" smell the first few times you turn your oven on. This is normal
in a new oven and will disappear in a short time.
To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self-
Cleaning Oven section.
A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Electric Ignition
The oven burner and broil burner are lit by electric ignition.
To light either burner, touch the pad for the desired
function and press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed. The
burner should ignite within 30-90 seconds. After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the
burner cycles--off completely, then on with a full flame--to keep the oven temperature controlled.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming out completely from the
oven, and will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the eookware
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.
This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To remove the shelves from the oven, pull them
toward you, tilt front end upward and pull them out.
To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with
the stop-locks (curved extension of the shelf) facing up
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.
Power Outage
CAUTION: DO NOT MAKE ANY ATrEMPT TO OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN
DURING AN ELECTRICAL POWER OUTAGE. Neither the oven nor the broiler can be lit during an electrical power outage. Gas will not flow unless the
glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs,
the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored.

Shelf Positions
The oven has four shelf supports, identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.
Oven Light
The light comes on automatically when the oven door.is opened. Use the switch on the control panel to turn the light on and off when the
door is closed.
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 thatthe 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.
,Vent openings and nearby surfaces may become
hot. Do not touch them.
Handles of pots and pans on the €ooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.
Do not leave
items on the cooktop-- they may melt if left
too close to the vent.
oDo not leave any items on the eooktop. 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 eooktop, and could cause burns.
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.

Preheating
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking
cakes, ccx_kies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles
and masts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens
without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat
I0 minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the
",_vJ in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent
tt from escaping.
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.

BAKING
(continued)
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 absorb heat. When baking in
glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be
reduced by 25°E
If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find thatyou need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F.
to prevent overbmwning.
Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough morn 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 1- to I '/.,-inchspace 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 the best baking results.
Cookies
When bakingcookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked
in ajelly rollpan (short sides all around)may have
darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the
walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven
at a time.
Pies
For best results, bake pies in dark,rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. 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
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause uneven bakingresults 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. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.
18
uminum Foil
Don't Peek
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 fired.
TIMED BAKING
How to Time Bake
The control allows you to turn the oven on or off automatically at specific times that you set. Examples
of hnmediatc Start (oven turns on now and you set it
to turn off autonmically) and Delay Start and Stop (setting the oven to turn on automatically at a later time
and turn o11"at a preset Stop Time) will be described.
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-- 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 al_ be affected.
NOTE: Before beginning make sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
To set the clock, first press the CLOCK pad. Press

ROASTING
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or
poultry can be masted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which should be low and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is really a baking prcxzedure used for meats.
Therefore. the 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.
1. Place the shelf in A or B position.
No _reheatin_ is necessary.
2. Check the weight of the -"-'_2,_.l_"_"i_}' meat. Place it fat side _,.,,..._._-_,_
up (or for poultry breast
side up) on masting
rack in a shallow pan. The melting fat wilt
baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size A of the meat as possible. (The broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this.)
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing. after being removed from the oven. The standing time
recommended for masts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5" to
10°E; to compensate t0r temperature rise. if desired.
remove the mast from the oven sooner (at 5" to Iff'E
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.
The oven will start automatically. The word "'ON" and" IO0°'"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 wilt sound.

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to tine the broiler pan.
This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for

.aestions and Answers
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 the Roasting Guide
section. For roasts over 8 Ibs., check with
thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed.
Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to
carve it?
A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed m cool I0 to
20 minutes after removing them from the oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.
ROASTING GUIDE
Frozen Roasts
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow l0 to 25 minutes per
pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for
_stsunder 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).
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.
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 the directions
given on the package label.

BROILING
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 should be closed during broiling.
1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through both about 2" apart.If desired, the fatmay be trimmed, leaving layer
about1/8"thick.
2. Place the meat on the broiler rack on the broiler pan
which comes with the range. Always use the rack 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.
burner is not necessary. (See the
5. ress the BROIL pad. Preheating the
Comments column in the Broiling Guide.)
Turn the Ibod using tongs (rely 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.
6. Press the INCREASE pad once for LO Broil or press the INCREASE pad twice for HI Broil.
To change from HI Broil to LO Broil, press the DECREASE pad once.
To change back to HI Broil, press the INCREASE 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.
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and offto cool internal pans. This is normal, and the tim may
continue to run after the oven is turned off.
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can usc aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the rack and cut slits in itjust like the rack.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat
juices from draining into 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
O. When broiling, is it necessary to always ttse a
rack in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the rack 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 rack 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
eval_r'ate. Always salt after cooking. Piercing the meat with a fork also allows the juices to escape. Turn the meat with tongs instead of a fork.
Q.
Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent the meat from sticking?
A.
No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to
prevent the meat from sticking to the surface.
However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make
clean-up easier.
24
BROILING GUIDE
dways use the broiler pan and rack that comes with
your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping the juices in the shielded lower part of the pan•
Broiling should always be done with the oven
door closed.
For steaks and chops, slash 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.
Ifdesired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

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 rack, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven--they can't withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket--the
fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely
low resistance to abrasion. An intact well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and g_x_dbaking 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. Do not let water run down through openings in
the top of the door. To help prevent water t_)m

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 your range to assure safe and proper maintenance.
Burner Cap
_ Burner Head
I
Mixing Tube _ jSpark Igniter
_ Burner Bowl
BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS
OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARI' OF
THE RANGE.
Burner Assembly
The burner assemblies should be washed regularly
and, of course, alter spiilovers.
Turn all controls off before removing bumer parts.
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed beyond the surface of the burner bowl. When cleaning the burner bowl, be careful not to snag
the electrode of the spark igniter with your
cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur. Be careful not to push in any cooktop
controls while cleaning the burner bowls. A slight
electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.
The burner grates, burner heads and burner caps can be removed for easy cleaning. Removing them gives
you access to the burner bowls. (To avoid snagging a cloth on the spark igniter, leave the burner heads in
place when cleaning the burner bowls. Wash burner
parts with an all-purpose non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Soak stubborn soil. Dry them with a
cloth-do not reassemble while wet. If the igniter orifice gets dirty or clogged you may use a small
sewing needle to remove the soil.
To reassemble, replace the burner head Iirst, then the burner cap and lastthe burner grate.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER I
WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE.
3O
I
I
wner Grates
Porcelain enamel
burner grates should be washed regularly
and, of course, after
spillovers. Wash them
in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water.
You may also use abrasive cleaners and steel wool pads to clean burner
grates. Dry the grates with a cloth--don't put them back on the range wet. When replacingthe grates. Ix"
sure they're positioned" securely over the burners.
Control Panel and Knobs
It's a goad idea to wipe the control panel after each
use. Clean with mi!dsoap and water or vinegar and
water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
,ansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners
., 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.
Betbre removing the knobs for cleaning, please note
that the knobs on the left side and the knobs on the
right side are in the proper OFF position. When replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to insure
proper placement.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates
ina covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them soak for 30 minutes. Wash,
rinse well, and dly. To prevent rusting, apply a light coating of cooking
oil to the grates.
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.
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 a knob, pull it straight off the stem. Ifa knob is difficult to remove, place a thin cloth (like a
handkerchief) or a piece of string under and around the knob edge and pull up.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak. Avoid getting water into the knob stem holes.
=
Cooktop Glass
To keep the cooktop looking its best, wipe up any
spills _,; they occur. This will keep them from burning on and becoming more difficult to remove.
As soon as the cooktop is cool, wash the glass surface with a cloth moistened with warm, soapy
water; rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. You can use any liquid household detergent.
Do not use abrasive materials such as metal pads, cleansing powder and soap tilled pads--they may scratch the surface. Do not use harsh chemicals
such as bleach or chemical oven cleaners. "_r streaks or spotting, you may find it helpful to rinse glass with white
,egar or a fifty percent white vinegar/water solution.

Lift-Off Oven Door
CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help
and replacing the door. Do not lift door by the handle. This can cause the
glass to break or can cause damage to
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 andoff the hinges•
NOTE:
Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and.
the ovcn door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.
While working in the oven area, cover the hinges
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel
on the flame.
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 d(x)r slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If hinges snap back against the oven flame, pull them back out.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR: 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 soap-filled scouring pad.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket-the fibcrgl_ss material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion• An intact and well-titting
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•
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation•

The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable
material in the drawer• Do not overload the storage drawer. If the drawer is
too heavy, it may slip off the track when opened. To open the drawer, grasp the center of the handle and
pull straight out. The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning
under the range.
32
To remove: Pull the drawer straight out
and lift over the
guide stops. To replace: Lift

NOTE: The oven shelves may also be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven, however, the shelves will darken,
lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil to make the shelves slide moree:isily.
Broiler Pan and Rack
After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack from
the overt. Remove the rack l_ln the pan. Carefully
pour the grease from the panintoa propercontainer.
Wash and rinse the broiler pan and rack in hot water with it soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

Both the broiler pan and rack may be cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner.
Do not store a soiled pan and rack anywhere in the range.
Both the broiler pan and rack can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Do not clean the broiler pan or rack in the self- cleaning oven.
i
Oven Vent
The oven is vented through an opening at the rear of the cooktop. Never cover the opening with aluminum
foil or any other material. This would prevent the
oven vent from working properly. The vent grille ,nay discolor during self-cleaning.
Clean the oven vent grille with Bon Ami".
Painted Surfaces
The drawer front is a painted surface. Clean it with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing
powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any
painted surface.

CARE AND CLEANING
Oven Light Bulb
The light bulb is located on the back oven wall.
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect the electric
power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or unplug the range from the electric outlet.
Let the bulb cool completely before removing it. Do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If you do,
the bulb will break.
TO REMOVE:
.Remove the 3 screws in the light cover.
Detach the light cover and remove the bulb. TO REPLACE:
Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb.
NOTE: A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller. than a standard 40-watt household bulb.
.Install the light cover. Replace the 3 screws and
tighten, making sure the cover fits flush with the oven wall.
Reconnect the electric power to the range.

Gasket
,Crystal
Cover Ring
Removable Oven Bottom
The oven bottom can be removed to clean large
spills, and to enable you to reach the oven burner. The oven bottom must be replaced before using
the self-clean cycle.
Unlink Lock
To remove:
1. Slide the tab at the center front of the oven bottom
to the left.
2. Lift the oven bottom up and out. To replace:
1. Slip the oven bottom into the oven so the tabs in the rear of the oven bottom fit into the slots in the
oven back.
2. Lower the front of the oven bottom into place and slide the front tab to the right to lock the oven
bottom into place.
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers. This is particularly
imlxmant when baking a fruit pie or other foods with high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or foods that are
acidic (such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and
sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface.
To protect the oven bottom surface, place a piece of aluminum foil slightly larger than the baking dish
or a small cookie sheet on a lower shelf or under the baking dish to catch any spiliovers. It should not
completely cover the shelf as this would cause uneven
heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should not be placed on the oven bottom.
If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow the oven to cool first. You can clean the oven bottom
with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser or soap-
tilled abrasive pads. Rinse well to remove any soap
before self-cleaning.

3efore placing range in the counter, notice the
location of the stability bracket which is already attached to the back of the range. This location
should work for most installations. However, it may be more convenient to hook the stability
chain to the unit when the stability bracket is
attached to the upper set of holes in the back of the range. See Fig. A. The upper level set of holes
are intended for use with a backsplash kit. If the backsplash is not being used, make sure that there
are na structural suplx)rts for the countertop which will interfere with the stability bracket when
located in the upper set of holes.
