by using 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.
WARNING
• 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 the minimum amount
of oil when using a 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.
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line

IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power failure, the oven is inoperable and no
attempt should be made to operate it. However, the surface
burners may be lit with a match. Using extreme caution,
hold a lit match near the ports beneath the surface burner
cap, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Once lit,
surface burners will continue to operate normally.

WARNING
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.
Burners should be operated only when
Using the Surface Burners
NOTES:
• 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. Damage to the product may occur.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place
your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials on them.
Your rangetop has sealed gas burners that offer
convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range of
cooking applications.
The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer burner
turned down to LO provides precise cooking performance
for foods such as delicate sauces that require low heat for a
long cooking time.
Surface Burner
The round burner is for general cooking purposes. Size
cookware appropriately to the flames.
Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.
Selecting a Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When
rapid heating is desired, the flame size 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.
These flames are too large for the pot

USING THE RANGE
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 or as the manufacturer recommends.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory
results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some
cookware may melt. Follow the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for
oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,
coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or
oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very
slowly. Check the cookware manufacturer’s directions to be
sure it can be used on gas ranges.
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.
Do not use stove top grills
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.

Certain models comply with the Star-K Jewish Sabbath
requirements for use during the Sabbath and holidays. For
the latest list of models, see star-k.org.
Start Baking
To start baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the
desired temperature. Because a thermostat model will
respond with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob is
used to turn on the oven, this operation should take place
before the Sabbath or Holidays begin.
Adjusting the Temperature
To adjust the oven temperature while in compliance with
Sabbath requirements, the user must observe the oven ON
indicator light:
• To adjust the oven temperature to a higher value, the user
must first confirm the "OVEN ON" light is on. Only then,
can the user turn the knob to a higher temperature than
was previously set.
• To adjust the oven temperature to a lower value, the user
must first confirm the "OVEN ON" light is off. Only then,
can the user turn the knob to a lower temperature than
was previously set.
Stop Baking
To stop baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the off
position. Because a thermostat model will respond with a
clicking sound when the thermostat knob is used to turn off
the oven, this operation should take place after the Sabbath
or Holidays end.
Oven Light Operation
The oven light can be set to either on or off prior to the start
of the Sabbath or the holiday. Opening and closing of the
door will not change the state of the oven light.

USING THE RANGE
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 the minimum cook time. If
undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware
consider reducing oven temperature by 25º 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. When preparing
baked goods such as cakes, cookies and pastries, always
preheat the oven first. To use this mode turn the thermostat
knob to the desired temperature.
Convection Bake Multi Rack
The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on
multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses air
movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking
evenness. Lower the temperature 25 degrees. Always
preheat when using this mode. Baking times may be slightly
longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for
a single rack. To use this mode turn your Oven Mode Knob
to Convection Bake and Oven Temperature Knob to the
recommended temperature setting.
ENGLISH
Warm (on some models)
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot. 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. It is recommended that food not be kept
warm for more than 2 hours. To use this mode turn the
thermostat knob to Warm.
Broil
Always broil with the oven door and drawer closed. Monitor
food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on
the upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil
burner increases smoking, splattering, and the possibility of
fats igniting.
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 lower rack position.
To use this mode turn the thermostat knob to the Broil
setting. NOTE: Remove unused racks from oven for faster
preheat, improved efficiency, and optimal performance.
49-85252-1 11
ENGLISH
USING THE RANGE
OVEN RACKS
Rack Positions
Your oven has four rack positions in the oven. Recommended
rack positions for various types of foods are provided in
the Cooking Guide. Adjusting the 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.
This may improve cooking evenness.
Removing and Replacing 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 until it reaches the stop
position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.
To replace a rack,
place the curved end
of the rack onto the
rack supports. Tilt up
the front of the rack
and push the rack in
until it stops. Then lay
the rack flat and push
it in until it is all the
way into the oven.
Racks may become
difficult to slide.
To improve sliding
conditions, use a soft
cloth or paper towel
to rub vegetable oil
on the left and right
edges of the racks
and/or rack supports.
NOTE: Remove
unused racks when
using the oven for
faster preheat,
improved efficiency,
and optimal cooking
performance.

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.
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.
Vent appearance and location vary.
ALUMINUM FOIL AND OVEN LINERS
CAUTION
cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt,
resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke
or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not
covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower
rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil
than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with
aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls to
prevent poor heat circulation.

liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be
wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool,
or scouring pads on the interior of the oven. For soils on the
oven bottom and other enameled surfaces, use a gentle
abrasive containing oxalic acid, such as Bar Keepers Friend®,
with a non-scratch sponge. Take care not to apply any
abrasive cleaners or sponges to the door glass, as it will
scratch the reflective coating. The oven interior and door
glass may be cleaned using a soft cloth with a mild soap and
water, or vinegar and water solution. After cleaning, rinse
with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Steam Clean
The Steam Clean feature is for cleaning light soil from your
oven.
To use the Steam Clean feature:
1. Start with the oven at room temperature.
2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven.
3. Pour 1/2 cup of water onto the bottom of the oven.
4. Close the door.
5. Turn both your Oven Mode Knob and Oven Temperature
Knob to Steam Clean Setting.
Do not open the door during the Steam Cleaning cycle. At
the end of the Steam Clean cycle, soak up the remaining
water, and wipe the moisture-softened soil from the oven
walls and door.
Oven Exterior
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads or cleaning
powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. Clean with
a mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room
temperature and not in direct sunlight.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting
liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be
wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Oven Racks
All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive
cleaner or steel wool.
After cleaning the racks, use a soft cloth or paper towel
to rub a small amount of vegetable oil on the left and right
edges of the rack. This will ensure the racks are easy to slide
in and out of the oven.
COOKTOP
Control Panel and Knobs
Wipe the control panel after each use of the oven with a
damp cloth. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or a 50/50
solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water. Polish
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic
scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they
will damage the finish.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or
a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in
the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for
cleaning the stainless steel surface.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft
Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small
blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in
the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including
stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories
and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.
For easier cleaning, the control knobs may be removed by
pulling them directly outwards once the knobs are in the OFF
position. Do not pull knobs up or down or hang objects on
them. This can damage the gas valve shaft. When removing
the tri-ring (on some models) and the dual-oval (on some
models) burner knobs, remember their location. While all
other knobs are interchangeable, these knobs must be placed
in the same location after cleaning. See the Surface Burner
section for a detailed view of these knobs. The knobs can be
washed by hand with soap and water or in a dishwasher.
