IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION. READALL INSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.

[A WARNING ] GENERALSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS(CONT,)

[] Never block the vents (air openings) of the

range. They provide the air inlets and outlets that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top

and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the warming drawer, lower

oven drawer or kick panel.

[] Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch surface burners, burner grate, or oven heating element. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

[] Do not touch the heating elements or the

interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they

are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven;

allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the burners, grates, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening and crevices around

the oven door. Do not heat unopened food containers.

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

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an internal temperature of 160°F and

poultry to at least an internal temperature of

180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually

protects against foodborne illness. Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover

the oven bottom, drip pans or anywhere in the oven, except as described in this manual. Oven liners can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.

[] Do not store or use flammable materials in

an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.

[] Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Avoid storing commonly used items in cabinets above the range and be careful when reaching over the range. Clothing in close proximity to burners or hot surfaces may ignite causing severe burns.

Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

[] Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.

[] Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease

should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

iA WARNING i IN THEEVENTOFA FIRE,TAKETHEFOLLOWING

STEPSTO PREVENTINJURYAND FIRESPREADING

[] Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up

a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. If necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

[] If there is a fire in the oven during baking, turn

the oven off and keep the door closed until the fire goes out. If necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.

[] If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn

the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst

of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

[A WARNING i COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

[] Never leave the surface burners unattended at

medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding cabinets.

[] Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed

to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.

[] To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum

amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.

[] Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are

unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the size of the burner. Burner flames

should be adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame may be hazardous.

[] Always use the LITE position when igniting the

top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

[] When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure

it is suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of sudden change in temperature.

[] To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of

the range without extending over nearby burners.

[] When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn

the fan on.

[] Do not use a wok with a round metal support

ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.

[] Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may

damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.

[] When disabling Lock Control (on some models),

make sure the surface controls are set to the OFF position. This will prevent unintended gas

flow from the burners.

[] Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or

line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

only when covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result

in serious injury.

Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.

Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

You will hear a clicking noise-- the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. When one

burner is turned to LITE, all burners will spark. Sparking will

continue as long as the knob remains at LITE. Once gas is ignited, turn the knob to adjust

the flame size.

Push the control knob in and

turn it to the LITE position.

L,I.J

(..9 Z

After Lighting a Burner

[] Do not operate the burner for an extended period of

time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb

the heat.

[] Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while

another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Use of the Surface Burners

Your gas rangetop has sealed gas burners. They offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications. The smallest burner is the simmer burner. On some

models, the center burner of the triple flame burner provides an additional simmer burner. A simmer burner turned down to L© provides precise cooking performance

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When rapid heating is desired, the flame size on a burner should match the size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be hazardous.

[] Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you

place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials on them.

Surface Burners (Cont.)

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,

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. Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give

satisfactory results.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide levels above

allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Using a Wok

Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.

Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

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.

Heatpreof 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.

Do not use stove top grills

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Oven Racks

Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow

air to flow.

Flat Racks

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop position) on the rack support. To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up

and pull it out. To replace, place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks)

onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in.

Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

Extension Racks (on some models)

Extension racks have a frame that locks into the rack supports on both sides. Once the frame is locked into

place, always pull the rack out, by its upper front rail, to its full extension stop position, when placing or removing

cookware. If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the

racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your oven. Remove the rack from the oven, remove debris in the slide tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the

rack several times to distribute the lubricant. To order additional graphite lubricant, read the

Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of this manual.

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 keep cool and operate properly with correct

combustion.

To Remove An Extension Rack:

1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the ove n.

2. Firmly holding onto both the upper and lower front rails, pull the rack toward you, tilt the front end up and

pull the rack out.

To Replace An Extension Rack:

1. Place the curved end of the rack onto the rack supports

2. Tilt the front of the rack up and push the rack in. If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe

the oven rack supports with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil on the rack slides.

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier

than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing

oven temperature by 25° F next time. Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked

goods such as cakes and cookies. Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.

These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform

differently than the oven it is replacing.

Bake

The bake mode is for baking and roasting. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from the upper element to cook food. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines are provided center food in the oven. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start.

Warm/Warming Drawer (on some models)

Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot for up to 3 hours. To use this mode, press the Warm or Warming Drawer pad then press Start. Cover foods that need

to remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to

heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal. It is also recommended that food not be kept

warm for more than 2 hours.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the door closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil burner increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. Broiling on rack position 5 is not

recommended. Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust

rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil burner when a

seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be

broiled on a rack position farther from the burner or by using Broil Lo.

Broil Hi

The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of

meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using

this mode.

Broil Lo

The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while also browning

the surface. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat and/ or foods that you would like cooked all the way through.

To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using

this mode.

Convection Bake Multi Rack

The Convection Bake Multi Rack mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode

may use heat from the upper and lower elements, along with air movement from the convection fan to enhance

cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert the temperature when using this mode. To use this mode press the Bake Multi Rack pad under Convection, enter a temperature, and then press Start. Always preheat when using this mode.

Convection Roast

The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode may use heat from the upper and lower elements along with air movement to improve browning and reduce cooking time. It is not necessary to convert temperature. Check food earlier than the recipe suggested time when using this mode, or use the probe (on some models). To use this mode press the Roast pad under Convection, enter a temperature, and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

49 85212 4

Probe

i^L,.,WARNINGI Consuming undercooked food can resultinfoodborne illness. Use probe

according to the following instructions to ensure all portions of the food reach minimum safe cooking temperatures. Recommendations for minimum safe food temperatures can be found at www.foodsafety.gov or www.lsltDoneYet.gov.

Internal food temperature is frequently used as an indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry. The Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature and turns the oven off when the internal food temperature reaches the programmed temperature.

Always check the temperature at multiple locations in the food with a food thermometer after cooking to ensure that all portions of the food have reached the minimum safe internal temperature for that food.

Proper Probe Placement

After preparing the meat and placing it on the cooking pan follow these instructions for proper probe placement.

[] Insert the probe into the food, so that the tip of the

probe will rest in the center of the thickest part of

the food. For best performance the probe should

be fully inserted into the food. if the probe is not

located properly, it may not accurately measure the temperature of the coolest portion of the food. Some foods, particularly small items, are not well suited for cooking with the probe due to their shape or size.

[] The probe should not touch bone, fat or gristle. [] For whole poultry insert the probe into the thickest

part of the breast.

[] For boneless roasts, insert the probe into the center

of the roast.

[] For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the

center of the lowest large muscle or joint.

[] For casseroles or dishes such as meatloaf, insert the

probe into the center of the dish.

[] For fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into

the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Probe Usage

To use the probe with preheating:

1. Press the desired cook mode (Traditional Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) pad and enter the desired cooking temperature.

2. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).

3. Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the

oven and connect the probe to the probe outlet,

making sure it is fully inserted. Use caution, the oven

walls and probe outlet are hot.

4. Program the probe temperature by pressing

the Probe pad and entering the desired food temperature. The maximum internal food temperature

that you can set is 200° F.

To use the probe without preheating:

1. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).

2. Place the food in the oven and connect the probe into the probe outlet in the oven.

3. Program the desired probe and cooking mode

settings by pressing the Probe pad and entering the desired food temperature, then pressing the cook mode pad (Traditional Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) and entering the desired cooking

temperature.

Probe Care Guidelines

NOTE: some double oven models have a probe in the upper oven only.

[] Use of probes other than the one provided with this

product may result in damage to the probe.

[] Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting

and removing them from the meat and outlet

[] To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to

pull on the cable when removing it.

[] To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is

completely defrosted before inserting the probe.

[] To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe

from the outlet until the oven has cooled.

[] Never leave the probe inside the oven during a self or

steam clean cycle.

[] Do not store the probe in the oven.
