I ORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

* The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic

Enforcement Actrequiresthe 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 natural gas or

LP fuels, Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a

bluish rather than a yellow flame,will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an

open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

.Fluorescent light bulbs and safety valves on

standing pilot ranges contain mercury. If your

model has these features, theymust 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 cut-offvalve 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 120-volt grounded

outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubtabout the grounding

of the home electrical system, it is your personal

responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded

outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three- prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. In Canada, the appliance must be

electrically grounded in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code.Do not use an extension

cord with this appliance.

.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 allpacking materials are removed from

the range before operating it to preventfire or smoke damage should thepacking material ignite.

Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a

qualified service technician or installer for the

type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used.

Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation Instructions.

WARNING: These adjustments must be made by a qualified service technician in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions and all codes and requirements of theauthority having jurisdiction.

Failure to follow these instructions could remit in

serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility

for the conversion.

After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Neverinstall the range over vinyl tile or linoleum

that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install itdirectlyover interiorkitchen carpeting.

Using Your Range

kWARNINGmAIi ranges@

can tip and injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping of the

range, attach it to the wall and floor 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.

Pd_PORTANT 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, broiler drawer or cooktop.They

could damagethe range and even tip it over, causing severepersonal injury.

, Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where

children canreach 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 bums.

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

a flaming pan. TUlTIthe 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-pro'pose dry chemical or foam-

type fire extinguisher,

.Do not store flammable materialsin an oven, a

range broiler or 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 cookthe meat to an internal temperature

of at least !70°E 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 hotsurfaces 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 apot 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 arelocated

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 burnerhead. 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 spiltovers 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.

,When using glass cookware, make sure it is

designed for top-of-range cooking.

Page 5

•If acombination 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 spilloversand large

enoughto cover burner grate.This will both save cleaningtime and preventhazardous accumulations

of food,since heavy spatteringor spilloversleft on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that

can be easily graspedand remain cool.

.Keep all plastics away from the top burners•

•Do not leave plastic

items on the cooktop--

theymay meltif left

too close to the vent.

Vent aoDearance and location vary

• Do not leave any items" _ on the cooktop.

The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable

itemsandwill increasepressurein 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 curtainsthatcould blow over the top burners

andcreate afirehazard.

•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 book 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 calla qualifiedservice 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 only7glass cookware that is recommended

for use m gas ovens.

.Always remove the broiler pan from range as

soon as you finish broiling• Grease left in the pan can catchfire 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

toreduce thepossibility of grease fires.

•If you should have a grease fire in the broiler pan,

turnoff ovencontrol,andkeep broiler drawer and

oven door closedto containfireuntil itburns out.

Self-Cleaning Oven

, Clean onlypartslisted in this Use and CareGuide. .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 ovencleaners.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 broiler

pan and rack 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.

DOES THIS cOOKTOP COMPARE

"_ourne_ cooktop has gas gnvne_s,_{youateused

tocooking_ith induction or otherelectricsurface

units, you will noticesome differences when you use

gas burners.

Thebe t_ypesofcookware to use> plus heat-up and

cool-dow 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 cookt%you may have used in the past.

Type of Cooktop Gas Burners

Radiant (Glass Ceramic)

Description

Regular or seale_ gas burnersuse either LP gas

or natural gas. Electric coils

under a glass-

Cooktop

Induction

X\\llllltl/Z

Electric Coil

Solid Disk

ceramic cooktop.

High frequency induction coils

under a glass surthce.

Flattened metal tubing containing

electric resistance wire suspended

over a drip pan. Solid cast iron

disk sealed to the cooktop surface.

How it Works Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but

pans should be well balanced, Gas burners heat the pan right away and change

heat settings right away. When you turn the control oft; cooking stops right away.

Heat travels to the glass surthce and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned oft: Remove the pan from the surt:ace unit if

you want cooking to stop.

Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control oft; the glass cooktop is hot t}Oln the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.

Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best

cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of

warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.

Heats by direct contact with the pan, _opans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The

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

Lighting Instructions

Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition,

eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.

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.

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed. 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.

Page 9

Sur/areBurner tr0/s

The knobs that turn the surface burners oft arid 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.

On ranges with seMed 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 (natural gas installations only).

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.

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.

After Lighting a Burner

• After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the

flame size.

• Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one you want to use.

• 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.

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 HANDL1NG 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)

Page 10

SURFACE COOKING

(continued)

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-welghl 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.

PJ[ass:There aretwo.types of lass cookware-thos

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)

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 can result in exposure to

carbon monoxide levels above allowable current

standards. This can be

hazardous to your health.

Wok Cooking (on models with sealed burners)

We recommend that you

use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

%___/

Do not use woks that

support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or

without the ring in place,

can be dangerous. 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. You could be seriously burned

if the wok tipped over.

Page 11

CLOCK AND TIMERS

Clock and Minute Timer

To set the clock, push the knob in and turn the clock hands to the correct time. Then let the knob out and

continue turning to OFF. The Minute Timer has been combined with the range

clock. Use it to time cooking operations. You'll

recognize it as the pointer that is different in color

from the clock hands.

Minutes are marked up to 60 on the center ring of the

clock.

To set the Minute Timer, turn the knob to the left,

withoutpHshing in, until the pointer reaches the number

of minutes you want to time.

At the end of the set time, a buzzer sounds to tell you time is up. Turn the knob, without pushing in,

until the pointer reaches OFF and the buzzer stops.

Automatic Oven Timer

This Timer will automatically start and stop your oven for you. Here's what you do:

1. Make sure both your range clock and the DELAY START dial show the correct time of day. When

either the DELAY START dial or STOP TIME dial is pushed in and turned, it will "pop" into place

when the time shown on the range clock is reached.

2. Set the DELAY START dial. Push in and turn the DELAY START dial to the time you want the oven

to turn itself on. (If you want it to start cooking immediately, do not set a DELAY START time.)

3. Set the STOP TIME dial. Push in and turn the

STOP TIME dial to the time you want the oven

to turn itself off.

NOTE: There must be at least a half-hour difference between the DELAY START and

STOP TIME dials, and times can be set only

up to 11 hours and 45 minutes in advance.

4. Set the OVEN SET knob to TIME BAKE.

5. Set the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired cooking temperature.

The oven will turn itself on immediately unless you have set the DELAY START dial for a later starting

time. It will operate at the temperature you selected and turn itself off at the Stop Time you selected.

Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and then remove the food from the oven.

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

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.

Electric Ignition

The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by electric ignition.

To light either burner, turn the OVEN SET knob to the desired oven operation and the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired temperature. The burner should ignite within 30-90 seconds.

After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner cycles--off completely, then on with a full flame-to keep the oven temperature controlled.

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.

Oven Light

The oven light comes on automatically when the door is opened. Some models have a switch on the lower control panel that allows you to turn the light on or off

when the door is closed.

Oven Indicator Light

The oven indicator light glows until the oven reaches your selected temperature, then goes off and on with the oven burner(s) during cooking.

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.

OVEN SET Control

The OVEN SET control has settings ovE.s_r

for BAKE, BROIL, TIME BAKE and {__

CLEAN. When you turnthe knob to th,_Z

desired setting, the proper burner is activated for that operation.

BAKE--Use this setting for all normal oven

operations--for example, for cooking roasts or casseroles. Only the bottom oven burner operates during baking.

TIME BAKE--Use this setting to turn the oven on and off at specified times when you want cooking

to start and stop. See Automatic Oven Timer section. BROIL--Use this setting for broiling. Only the top

(broil) burner will operate. CLEAN--Use this setting for the self-cleaning

function only.

OVEN TEMP Control

The OVEN TEMP control maintains the temperature you set for normal oven

operation as well as for broiling. Push in and turn to set temperatures or to set into CLEAN position.

OFF--Shuts off power to the oven controls. Oven will not operate. The OVEN TEMP knob

should be turned to OFF whenever the oven is not in use.

For normal oven operation, push in and turn the

knob to the desired temperature. It will normally

take 30-90 seconds before the flame comes on.

OvEN TEMP

After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner cycles--off completely, then on with a full flame-to keep the oven temperature controlled.

Page 13

Oven Vents

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---

Vent appearance and location vary

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.

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.

Bump

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.

Page 14

BAKING

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. It is recommended that you operate the oven for a nmnber of weeks to

become familiar with your new oven's performance.

If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy Do It

Yourself instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.

How to Set Your Range for Baking

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the

correct position before you turn the oven on.

1. Close the oven door. Turn the OVEN SET knob to

BAKE or TIME BAKE and then turn the OVEN

TEMP knob to the desired temperature.

See the Automatic Oven Timer section for Timed Baking.

2. Check the food for doneness at the minimum time on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

3. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and then remove the food.

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.

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 1- to 1 'A-inch 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.

Page 15

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for best baking results.

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.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven.

For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

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

inches below the food.

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 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. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size

used is the one recommended.

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 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.

Page 16

ADJUST

THE OVEN THERMOSTAT--

DO IT YOURSELF!

You may feel 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 20-40 degrees.

OVEN TEMP

Front of the OVEN TEMP knob

To Adjust the Thermostat:

Backof theOVENTEMP knob.

(appearancemay vary)

Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the range and look at the back side.

To make adjustment, loosen (approximately

one turn), but do not completely remove, the two

screws on the back of the knob. With the back of

the knob facing you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn the front of the knob with

the other hand.

To raise the oven temperature, move the top screw

toward the right. You'll hear a click for each notch you move the knob. To lower the temperature, move the top screw toward the left. Each click will change the oven temperature approximately 10°R (Range is plus or minus 60°F from the arrow.)

We suggest that you make the adjustment one click

from the original setting and check oven performance before making any additional adjustments.

After the adjustment is made, retighten the

screws so they are snug, but be careful not to

overtighten. Re-install the knob on the range

and check performance.

Page 17

ROASTING

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during roasting. The latch 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 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. Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing

after being removed from the oven. Recommended standing time 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 5 ° to

10°E If you wish to compensate for the temperature rise, remove the roast from the oven when its internal temperature is 5° to 10°E less than the temperature

shown 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.

1. Position the oven

at shelf (B) position for small size roast

(3 to 5 lbs.) and at (R) position for larger roasts.

2. Check the weight of the roast. Place the meat

fat-side-up or the poultry breast-side-up on the

roasting rack in a shallow pan. The melting fat will

baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of meat as possible. (The broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this.)

3. Turn the OVEN SET knob to BAKE and the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired temperature.

See the Roasting Guide for temperatures and approximate cooking times.

4. When roasting is finished, turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and then remove the food

from the oven.

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same time. For example: While roasting a 20-lb.

turkey on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped) 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 for the potatoes.

Use of Aluminum Foil

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.

Questions 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 Roasting Guide. For

roasts over 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 pound

additional time (15 minutes per pound for roasts under

5 pounds, 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 should be closed during broiling.

Turn the food only once during cooking. 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.

1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2" apart. If

desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8" thick.

2. Place the meat on the broiler rack in the broiler pan

which comes with the range. Always use the rack

so fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the .juices

may become hot enough to catch fire.

3. Position the shelf on the recommended shelf position as suggested in Broiling Guide.

Close the oven door but do not latch it. If the door latch is moved to the right during a broil

operation the door may lock and you may not be able to open it until the oven cools.

Turn the OVEN SET knob and the OVEN TEMP

knob to BROIL.

When broiling is finished, turn OVEN TEMP knob

to OFF. Remove the broiler pall from the range and

serve food immediately. Leave the pail outside the

range to cool.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack. However, you must mold the foil tightly

to the rack and cut slits in it .just like the rack.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat

.juices from draining to the broiler pail. 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

rack in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over the

pail. As the meat cooks, the ,juices fall into the pail,

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

evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the

meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also

allows .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.

(continued next page)

Page 20

BROILING GUIDE

The oven door must be closed during broiling.

• Always use the broiler pan and rack 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 tat surfiace just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing the juices.

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 positionin_ the shelf

at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1 ½ times per side.

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 cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose

their luster and become hard to slide.

2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to prevent staining.

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 soap-filled 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.

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.

OVEN

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

OVEN SET OVEN TEMP

1. Turn the OVEN SET knob to CLEAN. Push in and turn the OVEN TEMP knob to CLEAN. The controls

will snap into the final position when the CLEAN

location is reached.

Slide the latch handle to the right -.-

as far as it will go.

Never force the door latch handle. Illllllll Forcing the handle may damage the door lock mechanism.

3. Set the automatic oven timers. Make sure the range clock is set to the correct time

of day. Clear the DELAY START and STOP TIME dials of any previous timed cooking or cleaning function by: one at a time, push the DELAY START and STOP TIME dials in and turn the dials. Using a light touch, continue turning the dial until it "pops" out. Both dials should now be in the out position.

Decide on the cleaning hours necessary. Light to Moderate Soil--2-3 hours (thin spills

and light spatters).

Heavy Soil--4 hours (heavy, greasy spills and spatters).

Add these hours to the present time of day, then push in and turn the STOP TIME dial clockwise to this later

stop time. The oven door gets hot during self-cleaning. DO NOT

TOUCH. The CLEANING light will glow, indicating the

controls have been set correctly and the clean cycle has begun. If a delayed start has been selected, the CLEANING light will not glow until the start time has been reached and the clean cycle begins. The door will lock approximately 20 minutes after the clean cycle has begun.

4. When the clean cycle is complete, you will be able to slide the door

latch handle to the left as far as it will go and open the door.

1111111

Never force the door latch handle. If you cannot slide the latch easily to unlock the door, allow additional time for cooling.

Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF.

After a Clean Cycle

After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash in the oven. Just wipe it up with a damp cloth.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-

filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one cycle, the cycle may be repeated.

If the shelves have become hard to slide, wipe the

shelf supports with cooking oil.

NOTE: You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to be unlatched.

How to Delay Start of Cleaning

If you wish to start and stop cleaning at a later time than shown on the clock, push in and turn the DELAY

START dial to the time you wish to start. Add the

hours needed for cleaning to this "start" time, then push in and turn the STOP TIME dial to this later stop

time. The oven will automatically turn on and off at the set times.

To Stop a Clean Cycle (allmodels)

Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the OFF position. This will stop the cleaning cycle but you will not be able to open the door until the oven

cools below the locking temperature.

Questions and Answers

Q. Why won't my oven clean immediately even

though I set all the time and clean dials correctly?

A. Check to be sure your DELAY START dial is set

to the same time as the range clock. Also check to be sure the latch handle is moved to the right.

Q. If my range clock is not set to the correct time

of day, can I still self-clean my oven?

A. No. Your Automatic Oven Timer uses the range

clock to help start and stop your self-cleaning cycle.

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 afterward, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time

the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. Can I clean the woven gasket around the oven door? A. No, this gasket is essential for a good oven seal,

and care must be taken not to rub, damage or move this gasket.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil, and you should

turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Allow the oven

to cool for at least one hour before opening the door. 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 metal heating and cooling during

both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

Yes, there will be a slight odor during the first few

cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might

also cause an odor when cleaning.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enamel

surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition resulting from heating

and cooling during cleaning. They 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. My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is

the matter?

A. After many cleanings, the oven shelves will lose

their luster and become hard to slide. To make the

shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports

with cooking oil.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the

self-cleaning cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes. After the self-cleaning cycle, the shelves will

have lost some luster and discolor to a deep gray.

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. However, be careful when standing in front of the range--oven

becomes very hot while self-cleaning.

CAPE 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS AND DRIP PANS

(IF SO EOUIPPED) IN PLACE.

Sealed Burner Assemblies (on some models)

Turn all controls OFF before removing burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped).

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

easy to clean.

The electrode of the Electrode

spark igniter is exposed. When

one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners

spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while

another burner is on. An electric shock may result,

which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Burner Caps (on sealed burners only)

Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse

with clean water. If desired, soak up to 30 minutes and scour with

a plastic scouring pad to remove

burned-on food particles. Dry them in a warm

oven or with a cloth--don't reassemble them wet.

Burner Base (on sealed burners only)

burner base (the part of the

bThrener fastened to the cooktop)/'__ be cleaned with a soft brush and a (,,__]

mild cleanser. Clean all food residues

from around spark electrode. Do not

use steel wool; small bits of steel wool will short out the electrode. Rinse well.

Page 25

Burner Heads (on sealed burners only)

The holes in the burners of your range, and the spark electrodes, must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and an even, unhampered flame.

You should clean the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog these holes. Wipe off the burner heads. If heavy spillover occurs, remove the burner heads from

the range. Remove the burner grate and burner cap. Then lift the

burner head straight up. To get rid of burned-on food, soak the burner head

upside-down in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water. Soak the burner head for 20 to 30 minutes.

If the food doesn't rinse off completely, scrub it with

soap and water and a soft brush or plastic scouring pad.

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 burner openings. Do not use steel wool because it will clog the burner openings and scratch the burners. If the holes become clogged, clean them with a sewing

needle or twist tie. Before putting the burner head back, shake out

excess water and dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the

range, making sure the pin in the burner base goes in

the hole in the burner head, and that the burner heads are properly seated and level.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS AND DRIP PANS

(IF SO EQUIPPED) IN PLACE.

(on some models)

Burner

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, caps, burner heads 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.

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 1/4 cup

ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.

CAUTION:

Do not clean the

drip pans in the self-cleaning oven.

CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

Burner Grates

Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly

and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. 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. To 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 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a

soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.

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.

CAUTION: Do not clean the grates in the self-cleaning oven.

Cooktop Surface

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface

of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of

acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit .juices, etc. ) or foods

with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if

allowed to set. When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For

other spills such as fat smatterings, etc., wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then

rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

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.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.

To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet

on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. You

can use aluminum foil if you do not cover the whole

shelf. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic

(such as 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.

Page 27

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help _t_\\ / 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. _\_1 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 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 ally way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Gasket

iasket

Gasket

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 omside of the door.

• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately When the surface is cool, clean and rinse.

• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or

harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Broiler Pan and Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the rack from the

pan. Carefully pour out grease

from the pan into a proper

container. Wash and rinse the

broiler pan and rack in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

! !

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent

while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned on foods.

Both the broiler pan and rack call also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pail and rack anywhere in the range.

Do not clean the broiler pan or rack in the

self-cleaning oven.

Oven Shelves

Clean the shelves with

an abrasive cleanser or __S/_!_f_H_

steel wool. After cleaning,

rinse the shelves with clean

water and dry with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make

shelves slide more easily.

CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

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.

----/

Wire cover holder

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. Comlect electrical power to the range.

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 but do not soak.

Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or

commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.

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. Do not overload the storage drawer. If the drawer

is too heavy, it may slip off the track when opened. 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 storage drawer:

1. Pull drawer straight N out until it stops.

2. Tilt the front of the drawer up and free of the range.

To replace storage drawer:

1. Set the stops on the back of the drawer over the

stops in the range.

2. Slide drawer evenly and straight back, so that the rails in the range are engaged.

Page 29

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, storage drawer or broiler 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,,.._ ,.1

of the panel slightly to disengage the panel from the tabs at base of the range. Pull the bottom of the panel forward L._, ,_'_ 1 i until the spring clips are released at the top of the panel.

2223.1, latest edition. In Canada, initiation must conform with the current Natural Gas

Instigation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the current Propane Initiation Code, CAN/CGA- B149.2, and with local codes where applicable.

This range has been design-certified by the American Gas Association according to ANSI

221.1, latest edition and Canadian Gas Association according to CAN/CGA-I.1 latest edition• As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should

follow. You will find these precautions in the hnportant Safety Instructions in the front of this guide• Read them carefully.

• Have your range installed by a qualified

installer or service technician.

• Your range must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National

Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition).

In Canada, electrical grounding must be in accordance with the current CGAC22.1 Canadian

Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes. See Electrical Connections in this section.

• Before installing your range on linoleum or

any other synthetic floor covering, make sure

the floor covering can withstand 180°E without

shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not instill the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4" thick plywood or similar insulator is placed

between the range and carpeting.

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°E

• Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To

reduce the hazard caused by reaching over the

open flames of operating burners, install a ventilation hood over the range that projects forward at least 5" beyond the front of the cabinets.

• The ventilating hood must be constructed of

sheet metal not less than 0.0122" thick. Install above the cooktop with a clearance of not less

than 1/4" between the hood and the underside of the combustible material or metal cabinet. The hood must beat least as wide as the

appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface and the ventilation hood surface MUST NEVER BE

LESS THAN 24 INCHES.

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

• If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a minimum clearance of 30" between the cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.

• If a 30" clearance between cooking surface and overhead combustible material or metal

cabinets cannot be maintained, protect the

underside of the cabinets above the cooktop with

not less than 1/4" insulating millboard covered

with sheet metal not less than 0.0122" thick.

• Clearance between the cooking surface and

protected cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS

THAN 24 INCHES. The vertical distance from the plane of the cooking surface to the bottom of

adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer than

1'° to the plane of the range sides must not be

less than 18". (See Dimensions and Clearances

illustration in this section.)

.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.

WARNING

All ranges can tip and injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping

of the range, attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See Instilling the Anti-Tip Device in this

section.) To check if the device is

installed and engaged properly,

carefully tip the range forward. The

Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged when you push the range back against the wall.

• For your safety, never use your range for

warming or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not be operated without cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your range and will void

your warranty.

• Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Explosions or fires could result.

• Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

GENERAL

• See Dimensions and Clearances in this section

for all rough-in and spacing dimensions. These dimensions must be met for safe use of your range. Thelocation of the electricaloutlet and pipe opening

(see Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations) may

be adjusted to meet specific requirements.

• Therange may be placed with O '° clearance (flush) at the ha& wall and sidewalls of the range.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that

supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation

are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.

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.

MODELANDSERIALNUMBERLOCATION

Depending on your range, you'll find the model

and serial numbers on a label on the front frame

of the range, behind the storage drawer, kick panel or broiler drawer.

TOOLSYOU WILLNEED

• Phillips and fiat-blade screwdrivers

• Pencil and ruler

• Two pipe wrenches (one for backup)

• 1%" open-end or adjustable wrench

• Nut drivers or wrenches: 3/16" and 1/4"

ADDITIONALMATERIALSYOUMAYNEED

•Gas line shut-off valve

• Pipe joint sealant or UL-approved pipe thread

tape with Teflon* that resists action of natural

and LP gases

• Flexible metal appliance connector (1/2" I. D.)

A 5-foot length is recommended for ease of

installation but other lengths are acceptable. Never use an old connector when installing a new range.

• Flare union adapter for connection to gas

PREPARATION

• Remove all tape and packaging. Lift up the

cooktop (on models with standard twin burners)

and remove any packing material under it. Make

sure the standard twin burners are properly

seated and level.

• Remove plastic film that covers some chrome

parts (around oven door, side trim).

• Take the accessory pack out of the oven.

• Check to be sure that no range parts have

come loose during shipping.

Page 33

_] pROVIDE ADEQUATEGAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a uessure

of 4 of water column on natural gas or, lt'designed

tbr LP gas (propane or butane), I'0 of water

column. Make sure you are supplying your range

with the type of gas for which it is designed. This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas, if you decide to use this range on 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 natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 4" and

13" of water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10" and 13" of water column. When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must beat least

1" greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given above. The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in

the supply line regardless of whether natural or

LP gas is being used. A flexible metal appliance

connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2" and be

5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada,

flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

17 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.

[7 CONNECT THE bilGE 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 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NVI" internal thread elbow at inlet of

regulator. On models equipped with standard twin burners, install the male pipe thread end of the 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

When installing the range from the front,

remove the 90 ° elbow for easier installation.

3. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-

off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off

valve to keep it from turning.

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.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLANE TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

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.

[7 ELECTRICALCONNECTIONS (on some models)

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards associated with certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is

absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than,

the branch circuit rating.

Grounding

IMPORTANT--(Please read carefully) FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE

MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

ELECTRICALCONNECTIONS{continued)

[-1 Usage Satiations where Appliance

Power Cord will be Disconnected Infrequently. An adapter maybe used only on a 15-amp

circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a

TEMPORARY CONNECTION maybe

made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter,

available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the

larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

TEMPORARY

METHOD (Adapter plugs not

permitted in Canada)

proper

prongs/slots ground and

firm connection before use

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw

does not ground the appliance unless the cover

screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit

checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the

adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a

proper ground has again been established,

[-7 Usage Satiation. where Appliance Power

Cord will be Disconnected Frequently. Do not use an adapter plug in these situations

because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong

(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician

before using the appliance. The installation of appliances designed for

mobile home installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and

Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280

(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes.

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

_urged from the supply lines, burners should

ght within 4 seconds. After burner lights,

rotate knob out of the LITE position. Try each

burner in succession until all burners have been checked.

Quality of Flames The combustion quality of burner flames needs

to be determined visually.

(A) Yellow flames--

Call for service

(B) Yellow tips on outer cones--

Normal for LP gas

If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal burner flames should look like (B) or

(C), depending on the type of gas you use.

With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.

CHECKIGHITIOMOF OVEN BURNER

Your oven is designed to operate quietly and

automatically. To operate the oven, turn the OVEN SET knob to BAKE and the OVEN TEMP knob

to a setting above 300 ° E 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 OVEN TEMP knob. To check ignition of the broil burner, turn the

OVEN SET knob to BROIL and the OVEN

TEMP knob to BROIL. After 30-90 seconds, the broil burner will ignite.

Electric ignition models require electrical

power to operate. In case of a power outage, the

oven burners on these models cannot be lit

manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until

power is restored.

17 ADJUST BROILAND OVEN BURNERAIR

ADJUSTMENTSHUTTERSIF 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.

The flames for the top (broil) burner should be

steady with approximately 1" blue cones and should not extend out over the edges of the burner baffle.

To determine if the bottom burner flames are

burning properly, remove the oven bottom and the

burner baffle [on some models (see below)].

Flames should have approximately 1" blue cones and, if range is supplied with natural gas, should burn with no yellow tipping. (With most LIP gas,

small yellow tips at the end of outer cones are

normal.) Flames should not lift off burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter

opening until flames are stabilized. With the baffle in place, the flames should burn steady and should

not extend past the edges of the burner baffle.

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.
