not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact any interior area of the oven;
allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot
enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces
include the burners, grates, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening and crevices around

the oven door.

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. If necessary, use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

• If there is a fire in the oven during baking, turn
the oven off and keep the door closed until the
fire goes out. If necessary, use a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.

• If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn
the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do
not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air
at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst

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

[A, WARNING i COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Never leave the surface burners unattended at
medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially

oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could
spread to surrounding cabinets.

• Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed
to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding
cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.

• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum
amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid
cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of

ice.

• Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that is

matched to the size of the burner. Burner flames
should be adjusted so that they do not extend

beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame
may be hazardous.

• Always use the LITE position when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.

• When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure
it is suitable for cooktop service; others may
break because of sudden change in temperature.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a

container should be turned toward the center of
the range without extending over nearby burners.

• When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn
the fan on.

• Do not use a wok with a round metal support
ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the
burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.

• Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may
damage the gas tubing to the surface burners
resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.

• When disabling Lock Control (on some models),
make sure the surface controls are set to the

OFF position. This will prevent unintended gas
flow from the burners.

• Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or
line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the
cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

How to Light a Surface Burner

iAWARN INGi Burnersshouldbe operated

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

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

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

After Lighting a Burner

I!1 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.

I!1 Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while

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

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.

II Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you

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

Push the control knob in and

turn it to the LITEposition.

::)

Use of the Surface Burners

Your gas rangetop has sealed gas burners. They offer
convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range
of cooking applications,

The smallest burner is the simmer burner. 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.

How to Select Flame Size

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

The extra-large burner is designed to quickly bring large
amounts of liquid to a boil. Some models have a POWER
BOIL TMsetting especially designed for use with cookware
with a diameter of 11 inches or larger.

These flomes ore too

Surface Burners (Cont.)

Top-of- Range Cookwa re

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended
because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown
evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water,

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating
properties and is usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution.
Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer

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

satisfactory results.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your gas
surface burners. A stove top grill will cause incomplete
combustion resulting in carbon monoxide levels above
allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your

health.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some
cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer's
recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware--those
for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface
or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very
slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's directions to be
sure it can be used on gas ranges.

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.

In Case of a Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface
burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match
to the burner ports, then slowly turn the control knob to
the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting
burners this way.

U3

Use (3flat-bottomed wok.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure
occurs will continue to operate normally. If Lock Control
(on some models) is in use at the time of a power failure,

the surface burners cannot be lit.

the oven light isoff because heat from the bulb will
speed harmful bacteria growth.

Oven Light(s}: (on some models) Turns the oven light(s)
on or off.

Lock Controls: (on some models) Locks out the
control so that pressing the pads does not activate

the controls. Press and hold the Lock Controls pod or
press + and- pads and hold for 3 seconds to lock or
unlock the control. Cancel/Off is always active, even

when the control is locked.

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.

Vent appearance and location vary.

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.

Adjust the Oven Temperature
This feature allows the oven baking temperature to be

adjusted up to 35°F hotter or down to 35°F cooler. Use
this feature if you believe your oven temperature is too
hot or too cold and wish to change it.

Press the Bake pad, then use the + or - pad to increase
or decrease your oven temperature. Press the Start pad
to save the change.

12-hour auto shut-off and Sabbath

Options for this feature are "on", "oFF" and "SAb".

12-hour auto shut-off turns off the oven after 12 hours of

continuous operations.
The Sabbath feature can be used for baking only. This

feature disables all cooking functions except Bake,
overrides 12-hour shutoff, and turns off all beeps. Broil,
Steam Clean, Delay Time, and Cook Time cannot be

used with this feature. Sabbath mode does not disable
the oven light which turns on when the door opens;

therefore the bulb must be removed to ensure that
the light does not turn on. Reference the Maintenance

Section for information on how to remove the light bulb.
Press the Cook Time pad to view the current setting and

then to change the setting. Select Sabbath mode and
press Start. A ] will appear in the display and the clock
will not display.

Once in Sabbath mode, at any time you can press Bake
to start the oven. Note that when programming a bake
in Sabbath mode, the preset starting temperature will

automatically be set to 350°F. Press the + or - pads to
increase or decrease the temperature in 25°F increments

for temperatures between 170°F and 550°F and then
press Start.

No sound will be given when the keys are pressed. At a
random time between 30 seconds and 1 minute, ][, will
appear in the display indicating the oven is running.

If you need to adjust the temperature while baking,

press Bake again. Press the + or - pads to increase
or decrease the temperature in 25°F from the previous

temperature you set to the new baking temperature and
then press Start.

To turn the oven off, press Cancel/Off at any time. The
oven will immediately turn off and ][ will change to ]
indicating that the oven has turned off.

Note: If power outage occurs during Sabbath mode the
unit will remain in Sabbath mode but off when power is

restored.

Oven Racks

Main Oven

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

them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,

ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow
air to flow.

(D

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out
to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up
and pull it out.

To replace, place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks)
onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and
push the rack in.

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

Broil Drawer (onsome models)

Always use the broil pan and grid that comes with your
range.

The broil drawer has three broiling positions [A (bottom
of the broil drawer), B (middle), and C (top)]. To broil in
position B or C, slide the pan into the drawer such that
the handles rest on the supports. For broiling in position
A, place the pan directly on the bottom of the broil

drawer.

Cooking Modes

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

Bake

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

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the main oven and broil drawer doors
closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution
when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food
closer to the broil burner increases smoking, spattering,
and the possibility of fats igniting.

Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the

food. Place foods closer to the broil burner when a
seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods

and foods that need to be cooked through should be
broiled on a rack position farther from the burner or by
using Broil Lo.

Broil Hi

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

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

this mode.

Broil Lo

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

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

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

mode.

Convection Bake Multi Rack

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

mode uses heat from the upper burners along with
air movement from the convection fan to enhance

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

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines

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

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

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

oven temperature by 25° F next time.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the
oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil 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.

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.
