iNSTRUCTiONS

Read all instructions before using

this appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic

Enforcement Act requires the 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 sub- stances.

Gas appliances 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 combus- tion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized

further by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

When You Get Your Range o Have the installer show you the

location of the range gas cut-off valve and how to shut it off if nec-

essary.

° Have your range installed and

properly grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the

Installation Instructions. Any adjust-

ment and service should be per- formed only by qualified gas range

installers or service technicians_

Plug your range (Electric Ignition models only) into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the

round grounding prong from the plug_If indoubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your

personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded,

Electrical Code_Do not use an extension cord with this appliance_

• Donot attempt to repair or replace any part of your= range unless it is specifically recom-

mended in this manual. All other servicing

should be referred to a qualified technician°

• Be sure all packing materials are removed

from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage, should the packing material

ignite.

, Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent pilot

outage (on models with standing pdots) and poor air circulation.

• After prolonged use of a range, high floor tem- peratures may resuii and many fiooi" cover-

BMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (coot oued/

o Do not use water on

grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.

Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan

on a surface unit by cov- ering the pan completely

with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or fiat 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-purpose dry chemical or foam- type fire extinguisher,

o Do not store flam-

mable materials in an oven, range broiler or

storage drawer, or near the cooktop.

o 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.

o When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly

and always cook the meat to an internal tempera- ture of at least 170°F (77°C). This assures that, in

the remote possibility that trichina may be pres- ent in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

Surface Cooking

o Always use the LITE position (on models with

electric ignition) or the HI position (on models with standing pilots) when igniting the top burn-

ers and make sure the burners have ignited.

o Never leave the surface burners unattended at

high flame settings. Boi!overs 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 hot surfaces 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 a pot holder°

° To minimize the possibility of burns, ignitionof

flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range with-

out letting them extend over adjacent burners.

• Always turn the surface burners to off before

removing cookware.

° Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

o 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 in the following places:

--Oven vent at the rear of the cooktop.

--Air intake under the broiler drawer.

--Air vent at the top of the oven door,

° Do not use a wok on models with sealed burn-

ers 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 burner head. Also, it may cause the burner towork 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 effec-

tive shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

° if a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly,

• Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.

,, Use a deep-fat thermometer whenever possi-

ble to prevent overheating fat beyond the smok- ing point,

° Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a

deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

oWhen using glass cookware, make sure it is

designed for top-of-range cooking.

• Use proper pan size. Avoid pans that are unsta- ble or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat

bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spi!lovers and large enough to cover burner grates°This will both save

cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumula-

tions of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers

left on the range can ignite. Use pans with han- dles that can be easily grasped and will remain

coo!.

• Keep all plastics away

from the top burners. '_

• Do not leave plastic __

items on the cook- top--they may melt if

left tooclosetothe vent. 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.

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. o

• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread

the flames.

• If the range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the top

:burners and create a fire hazard.

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

= Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

o Stand away from the range when opening the

door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that

escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup. o Place the oven shelves in the desired position

while the oven is cool. Pulling out the shelf to the shelf-stop is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a

precaution against 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 manual.

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 only glass cookware that is recommend-

ed for use in gas ovens. Always remove broiler pan from the oven or

the broiler compartment as soon as you finish

broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch on fire if

oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan_

. When a pilot goes out (on models with stand- °

ing pilots), you willdetect a faint odor of gas as

your signal to relight the pilot. When relighting the pilot, make sure the burner controls are inthe off o

position, and follow instructions in the Installation

Instructions to relight,

• If you smell gas, and you have already made sure the pilots are lit (on models with standing pilots), turn off the gas to the range and call a

fqualified service technician. Never use an open

lame to locate a leak.

When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to pre-

vent excessive flare-ups

Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly

to reduce the possibilityof grease fires. If you should have a grease fire in the broiler

pan, turn the oven offand keepthe broiler compart-

mentdoor closed to contain fire until itburns out.

MPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (ooot oued/

Self-Cleaning Oven

• Do not clean the 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 oven cleaners. 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 wiFl damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle

is used.

• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broil- er pan, grid, the shelves and other cookware.

° Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care

Manual.

° Keep the range clean and free of accumula-

tions of grease or spillovers, which may

ignite,

o Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting the self-clean cycle.

o If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn

the oven off and disconnect the power supply.

How Does This Cooktop Compare to Your OmdOne?

Your new cooktop has gas burners. If you are used to cooking with induction or other electric surface units, you will notice some differences when you use gas

burners.

Type of Cooktop Gas Burners

Electric Coil

Solid Disk

Radiant (Glass Ceramic) Cooktop

Description

Regular or sealed

gas burners use either LP gas

or natural gas..

Flattened metal

tubing containing electric resistance

wire suspended over a drip pan.

Solid cast iron disk sealed to the

cooktop surface

Electric coils under a glass-

ceramic cooktop+

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 off, 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, so pans 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 isturned off

Remove the pan from the solid disk ifyou want the cooking to stop+

Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be fiat on the bottom for good cooking resuIts The glass cooktop stays hot

enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit ifyou want cooking to stop.

The best types of cookware to use, ptus heat-up and cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or surface unit you have,.

The following chart will help you to understand the dif- ferences between gas burner cooktops and any other

type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

Induction

High frequency induction coils

under a glass surface.

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 off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking

stops right away.

Surface Cooking

Lighting Instructions

Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilots 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 burn- ers in this manner.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power fail- ure occurs will continue to operate normally..

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed_ When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burn-

ers spark. Do not disassemble or clean around

any burner while ano[he= bume_ is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock

over hot cookware,

Surface Burner Controls

The knobs that turn the surface burners on and 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..

To Light a Surface Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it

to LITE. You wilt 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.

o Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one

you want to use.

oDo not operate a burner for extended periods of time

without having cookware on the grate. The finish on

the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the

heat..

o 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 HANDLING OF

COOKWARE NEVER LET .....

On ranges with sealed burners: oThe 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).

Surface Light (on some models)

Use the switch on the control panel to turn the light on and off°

Before Lighting a Burner

, If drip pans are supplied with your range, they should

be used at all times.

oMake sure all grates on the range are in place before

using any burner1

THE SIDES OF THE

THE FLAME EXTEND UP COOKWARE. Any flame

larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and

only serves to heat the handle.

Surface Cooking (contioued Oven Controls, Clock and

Timer

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommend- ed because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods

brown evenly in an aluminum skilfeL Use saucepans

with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum

amounts of water. Cast iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give sat-

isfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Fotlow cookware manufac- turer'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 con-

ducts 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 manufactur- er'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, alu-

minum or other metals for improved heat distribution,

Combination metal skillets generally work satisfactorily if

used at medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Wok Cooking (onmodels 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

have 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

resufting 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.

OVEN SET Control Knob

The OVEN SET control knob

has settings for BAKE, BROIL, TIME BAKE and CLEAN. When

you turn the knob to the desired setting, the proper burner is acti-

vated 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_

BROIL--Use this setting for broiling Only the top (broil) burner wilt operate.

CLEAN--Use this setting for the self-cleaning func- tion only. See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven

section.

Using Your Oven

Before Using Your Oven

Be sure you understand how to set the control proper- ly, Practice removing and replacing the shelves while

the oven is cool. Read the information and tips on the following pages. Keep this manual 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

Use the switch on the control panel to turn the oven light on and off.

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 impor- tant 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.

. Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may

become hot if left too close to the vent.

-Do not leave

plastic items on the cooktop--

they may melt if left too close to

the vent.

o Metal items will become very hot if they are left

on the cooktop and could cause burns.

oDo 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 com-

pletely 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, putl the shelf

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 under 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.

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for baking and

roasting--A (bottom), B, C, D

and E (top). It also has a spe- cial 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. The shelf

positions for cooking are sug- gested in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections_

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+

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 accurateIy

using an oven control system. It is recommended that

you operate the oven for a number of weeks to

become familiar with you new oven's performance° If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust

the Oven Thermostat section.

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 and then turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the

desired temperature.

. Cneuk u_ _uud 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 mid-

dle 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 tempera- ture 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 t0 minutes° After the oven is preheated place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent

heat from escaping.,

Baking Pans

Use the proper o,_,,_ng pan. '-- of ,:-i-,- ,,-- 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.

o 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 (13°C).

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 !'A-inch (2.5- to 4-cm) 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°

Baking Guides

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

Baking (continued)

Timed Baking

Automatic Oven Timer (on models with press pads)

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without i

sides) produce better-

looking cookies° Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan

(short sides all around may have darker edc

and pale or light brown- ing 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.

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 ito

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 recom- mended will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than

it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than recom- mended, it may be undercooked and batter may over-

flow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended

For models with DELAY START and STOP TIME dials, see the Automatic Oven Timers section in

Oven Controls, Clock and Timer.

How to Time Bake

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during

regular timed baking. The latch is used for self- cleaning only.

Your oven can be set to turn on and off automatically. NOTE: Before beginning, make sure the oven clock

shows the correct time of day.

CLOCK pad. Press the UP or DOWN pad until correct time of day is dis-

To set the clock, first press the played. Press the CLOCK pad again to

start°

How to Set Immediate Start and

Automatic Stop

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the

correct position before you turn the oven ono

The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a

selected length of time. At the end of Cook Time the oven wilt turn off automatically.

1. Turn the OVEN SET knob to TIME BAKE.

2. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired temper- atureo

3. Press the COOK TIME ON/OFF pad°

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.

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 cook-

ing allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer Your baking results may also be affected.

4. Set the desired amount of cooking time using the UP and DOWN pads.

5. The oven will turn on, The display will show the

Cook Time remaining° When the oven reaches the set temperature, a tone sounds° The oven will con-

tinue to cook for the programmed amount of time up to 1t hours and 50 minutes, then shut off auto- maticallyo

6. When the oven automatically turns off, the oven

control will signal_ Turn the oven off to stop the signal.

7. Remove the food from the oven Remember, foods that are left in the oven continue cooking after

the controls are off

NOTE: Foods that spoil easily such as milk, eggs,

fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth

Questions and Answers

Q. Can I use the minute timer during oven cook-

ing?

A. The minute timer can be used during any cooking

function.

Q, Can I change the time of day on the clock while

I'm Time Baking in the oven?

A. The time of day on the clock should not be

changed during any program that uses the oven

timer. You must either stop those programs or wait

until they are finished before changing the time.

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°F

(11-22°C)_

To Adjust the Thermostat:

Pull the OVEN CONTROL 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,

(appearance may vary)

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 IO°F (6°C). [Range is plus or minus 60°F (33°C) 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 screws so they

are snug, but be careful not to overtighten Reinstall knob on range and check performance

Air Adjustment Shutter for Oven Burners

The air adjustment shutter for the bottom burner regu-

lates the flow of air to the flames

See the Installation Instructions of this manual for instructions for location and proper adjustment of the

shutter

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 pout- try 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. (You

may hear a slight clicking sound indicating the oven is working properly,)

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 the roasts to firm up and makes them easier to

carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5° to

10°F (3 ° to 6°C), if you wish to compensate for the

temperature rise, remove the roast from the oven when its internal temperature is 5° to 10°F (3° to 6°C)

less than the temperature shown in the Roasting Guide,

Remember that food wild continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the

desired internal temperature has been reached.

1. Position oven shelf at

er roasts.

Ibs.(1 o3 to 2.3 kg)] and

2. Check the weight of the meat° Place the meat fat- side-up or the poultry breast-side-up on roasting

grid in a shallow pan, The melting fat will baste the meal Select a pan as close to the size of the meat

as possible. (The broiler pan with grid 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 20-1bo(10 kg)

turkey on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped) may be added on position D so that scal-

loped 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 t5-20 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.

Roasting (coot nued)

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc,,, can be started

without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes per pound

(450 grams) additional time [15 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds (2°3 kg), 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 successfu}ly

without thawing, Follow the directions given on the

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

1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2" (5 cm) apart.

If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about tt8" (3 ram) thick°

2. Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan which comes with the range. Always use the grid

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 posi- tion as suggested in Broiling Guide.

4. Close the oven door but do not latch it. If the door

latch is moved to the right during a broil opera-

tion the door may lock and you may not be able to open it until the oven cools,

5. Turn the OVEN SET knob and the OVEN TEMP

knob to BROIL°

6. When broiling is finished, turn the OVEN TEMP

knob to OFR Remove the broiler pan from the range and serve the food immediately, Leave the pan outside the range to coot,

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan

and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil

tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid,

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the

broiler pan,, The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire,, If you do not cut the slits, you are frying,

not broiling,.

Questions & Answers

Q, When broiling, is it necessary to always use a

grid in the pan?

A. Yes,, Using the grid suspends the meat over the

pan_ As the meat cooks, the juices fail into the pan, thus keeping the meat drier. Juices are protected

by the grid and stay cooler, thus preventing exces- sive 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 the 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)

Broiling Guide (continued)

=Always use the broiler pan and grid 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 fat evenly around out- side edges of meat° To slash, cut crosswise through

outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use

tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing the meat

and losing juice&

• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only,

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 grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven--they cannot

withstand the high cleaning temperatures,

NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you

begin the self-clean cycle.

2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.. If you use

soap, rinse thoroughly before self cleaning to

prevent staining.

4. Close the oven 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. The door latches automati-

cally after the clean cycle is set.

CAUTION: The grates and drip pans (on some models) should never be cleaned in the self-clean-

ing 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°

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened

cloth° The oven front frame and the oven door out- side 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 heat-

ed. Buff these areas with a dry cloth. Do not clean

the gasket°

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the top, sides and outside front of the oven door

with soap and water. Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place,

Do not rub or clean the door gasket--the fiber- glass material of the gasket has an extremely low

resistance to abrasion. An intact, welt4itting 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.

Ililum

Never force the door latch handle. Forcing the

handle may damage the door lock mechanism. For models with press pads, the oven will now be

set to clean for its normal time of three hours_ If you wish to change the amount of cleaning time, see the

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°

NOTE: .While the oven is self-cleaning (on models with

press pads), you can press the CLOCK pad to dis- play the time of day. To return to the clean count-

down, press the COOK TIME ON/OFF pad.

. 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

Models with press pads:

You wil! have one minute to set a delayed start.

1. Turn the OVEN SET knob and the OVEN TEMP knob to CLEAN° Slide the latch handle to the right

as far as it will go.

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. 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 win-

dows 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 sound of the metal heating and

cooling during both the cooking and cleaning func-

tionSo

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

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

cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause a strong odor when cleaning,

Q, What causes the hair-like lines on the enam-

eled surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating

and cooling during cleaning These lines 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. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven

is self-cleaning?

Burner Heads (onsealed burners only)

For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the section that fits over the electrode is kept open. A

sewing needle or wire twist4ie works well to unclog it. The slits in the burner heads of your range must

be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.

You should clean the surface burners routinely, espe- cially after bad spillovers, which could clog these

openings. To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads

in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for 20-30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a tooth-

brush. Before putting the burner head back, shake out

excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes.

Replace the burner caps° Make sure that caps are replaced on the correct size burner, There is one

The holes in the surface burners of your range

must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition

and an even, unham- pered flame.

You should clean the surface burners rou-

tinely, especially after bad spi!lovers, 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 wilt 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 minute& Then place it back in

Care and Cleaning (coot noed)

Drip Pans (onsomemodels)

Remove the grates and lift out the drip pans.

The drip pans can be cleaned in a dishwasher

or by hand.. To get rid of

burned-on food, l

the drip pans 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.

Burner Grates

Lift out when coolo The

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, Do not put the grates back on the range while they are

wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they're posi- tioned 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 drip pans in the self- cleaning oven.

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)

Cooktop Surface (onsomemodels)

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 dutl spot if allowed to sit. When the surface has cooled, wash

and rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings, 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 l near the cooktop° Do not store or use combustible I materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and I liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance, l

Brushed Chrome Cooktop (onsomemodels)

Clean the brushed chrome top with warm, soapy water or Bon

AmP brand cleanser and immedi- ately dry it with a clean, soft cloth.

Take care to dry the surface fol- lowing the "grain." To help prevent

finger marks after cleaning, spread a thin fitm of baby oil on the surface. Wipe away excess oil with a clean,

soft cloth.

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 the 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 vinegar

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..

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove the

broiler pan from the oven

or broiler compartment

(depending on your model). Remove the grid from the

pan. Carefully pour out grease from the pan into a

proper container. Wash and rinse the broiler pan and

grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scour-

ing pad. If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with deter-

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

Oven Shelves

Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth..

NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you begin the self-clean cycle.

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 partic-

ularly important when

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable, but

it is heavy. You may need help

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. 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:

o 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 fiber-

glass 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.

Inside Gasket
