AND CLEARANCES

iWPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation of this range must conform with loca! codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223, latest edition.

This range has been design-certified by the American

Gas Association according to ANSÍ Z21 1, latest edi tion- As with any appliance using gas and generating heal, there are certain safety precautions you should

follow, You will find these precautions on pages 13-16,

Read them carefuily

® Have your range installed by a qualified installer or

service technician.

« Your range must be electrically grounded in accor

dance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the Nationai Electrical Code {ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition) See Grounding on page 6

Before installing your range on linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand 180°F. without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of l/4-ínch-thick plywood or similar insulator is placed between the range and carpeting

® Make sure the wail coverings around the range can

withstand heat generated by the range up to “ Avoid placing cabinets above the range, To reduce

the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames of operating burners, install over the range a ventila tion hood that projects forward at least 5 inches beyond the front of the cabinets.

The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet metal not less than 0,0122 inch thick (No. 28 U.S, Standard gauge). Install above the cooking top with a clearance of not less than 1/4 inch between the hood and the underside of the combustible material or metal cabinet. The hood must be at least as wide as the appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface and the venti lation hood surface MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.

»Clearance between the cooking surface and protect ed 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 inch to the plane of the range sides must not be less than 18 inches. (See diagram on page 2.)

® Caution: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backspiash 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 the supplied Anti-Tip device to the wall (See page 10.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip device should engage a bracket on the back wall of the range. This will 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 with the bracket when you push the range back against the wall.

9 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 grates. 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.

® if cabinets are placed above the range, allow a mini mum clearance of 30 inches between the cooking sur face and the bottom of unprotected cabinets

° If a 30-inch clearance between cooking surface and overhead combustible material or metal cabinets can not be maintained, protect the underside of the cabi nets above the cooking top with not less than 1/4-inch insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not less than 0.0122 Inch thick (No. 28 U.S, Standard gauge)

® Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materi als accumulate in or near the range

loose during shipping.

NORMAL INSTALLATION STEPS

Step 1

Provide Adequate Gas Supply

The range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4 inches of water column on natural gas op if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10 inches of water column, Make sure the range is supplied with the type of gas for which it is designed If, at any time in the future, the range is to be supplied with a different type of gas, conversion adjustments must be made by a qualified service technician before attempting to oper ate the range on that gas

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas sup plied to the regulator must be between 4 and 13 inch es of water column For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10 and 13 inches of water column

When checking for proper operation of the regulator,

the inlet pressure must be at least 1 inch 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 LD. of 1/2" and

be 5 feet in length (shorter and longer lengths are acceptable) for ease of installation

Step 2

Connect the Range to Gas

Before disconnecting the old range, shut off the main gas supply valve and leave it off until new hook-up has been completed

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

To prevent gas leaks, wrap pipe thread tape with

Teflon* around, or put pipe joint compound on, all male (external) pipe threads

5. When ai! connections have been made, make sure ali range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at ail

joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME 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 pres sures 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.

Step 3

Electrical Connections

Electrical Requirements:

120-volt, 60-Hz, properly grounded branch circuit pro tected 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

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

three-prong (grounding) plug that mates with a stan

dard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to mini mize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and cir

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

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obli gation of the customer to have it replaced with a prop erly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord

Witf Be Disconnected INFREQUENTLY: An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit. Do

not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wail receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, avaiiable at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall recep tacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord

PRSFeRRSD METHOD

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wail 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

TEWIPORARY METHOD

Adapter piugs not permitted in Canada

Align large prongs/slots

CF' Ensure proper

ground and

iifiTi

connection

before use

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

Usage Situations Where Appiiance 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 fail ure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a quali fied electrician before using the appliance.,

Quality of Flames;

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be

determined visually.

(A) Yellow fiames-

Cal! for service

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) op when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, lat est edition (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes

Electrical Disconnect

1. Locate disconnect plug at left rear of burner box on the range back.

2, Pinch sides of con nector and pull out of range back.

Step 4

Seal the Openings

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range when hookups are completed.

Step S

Check Ignition of Surface Burners

Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be checked after range and gas supply lines have been carefuify checked for leaks

Push in one of the surface burner controls and turn it

to the LITE position. You will hear a snapping sound

indicating proper operation of the spark module. Once

the air has been purged from the supply lines, burners

should light within 4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE position. Try each burner in succession until all burners have been checked.

(B) Yellow tips on

Normal for LP gas

Normal for natural gas

* If burner flames look like (A), cal) 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.

Check ignition of Oven Burner

Your oven is designed to operate quietly and automati

cally. To operate the oven, touch BAKE pad and then

touch INCREASE pad until "350*” appears In the dis

play, After 30-60 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 display.

The oven requires eiectrlcal power to operate. The oven cannot be lit during a power outage. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot

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

Installation Instructions (continued)

Step 6

Broil and Oven Burner Air Ad|ustment Shutters

Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burners regulate the flow of air to the flames.

The air adjustment shutter for the top burner is in the

center of the rear wail of the oven.

The fiames for the top (broil) burner should burn 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

(see page 9). Flames should have approximately 1" blue cones and, if range is supplied with natural gas,

should burn with no yellow tipping. (With most LP gas,

small yellow tips a! the end of outer cones are normal)

With the baffie in place, the flames should burn steady

and should not extend past the edges of the burner baf fle Fiames should not lift off burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter opening until flames are stabilized.

The shutter for the bottom burner is near the back wall

behind the storage drawer Remove the storage drawer by pulling the drawer at! the way out and tilting up the front

To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter toward open or dosed position as needed

To remove the oven bottom;

MPORTÁNT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read ail 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

in© оШШ 10 CaUo6 СЙПС6Г3 ulnn ивТбСШ ОГ

other reproductive harm, and requires business es to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appitances can cause minor exposure to

four of these substances, namely benzene, car

bon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natu ral gas or LP fuels. Properiy adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure

to these substances can be minimized further by venting with an open window or using a ventila tion fan or hood.

be safe to eat.

® For your safety, never use your appli ance for warming or heating the room.

Surface Cooking

® Always use the LITE position when igniting top burners and make sure the burners have

ignited,

a Never leave surface burners unattended at

high flame settings. Boilover causes smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

Adjust top burner flame size so It does not

extend beyond the edge of tbe cookware.

Excessive flame is hazardous.

® if a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly,

«Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not lei 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, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cook ware handles toward the side or back of the

range without letting them extend over adjacent

burners. ® Always turn surface burner to OFF before

removing cookware. 9 Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting. a Wever 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 locat ed in the following places: —Oven vent at the rear of the cooktop. —Air intake under the storage drawer —Air vent at the top of the oven door.

9 Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ling acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head,, 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

hibdlfH HÍ3Ti:;}rrl

Foods for frying should be as dry as possi

ble. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over sides of pan.

9 Use least possible amount of fa! for effec tive shallow or deep-lai frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.,

9 Always heat fat sJov/ly and watch as it heats, ® Use deep-fat thermometer whenever possi

ble to prevent overheating fat beyond the smok ing point

9 Use proper pan size. Avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the range can ignite. Use pans with handies that can be easily grasped and will remain cool.

® When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking,

9 Keep all plastics

away from top burners.

® Do not leave plastic

items Oil the cook-

top—they may melt if

left too dose to the

vent.

9 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.

9 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 a grate.

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

9 If range is iocaied near a window, do not use long curtains that could blow over the top burn ers and create a fire hazard.

9 If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak,

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

« Do not use oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

® Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can cause bums to hands, face

and eyes. ® Keep oven free from grease buildup. ® Place oven shelves in desired position

while oven is cool.

Pulling out sheii to the shelf-stop is a con

venience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven wails.

^ Don’t heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressure could build up and the con tainer could burst, causing an injury.

Don’t use aluminum foil anywhere in the

oven except as described in this book.

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 recom

mended for use in gas ovens.

Self-Cleaning Oven

® 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 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.

9 Before self-cieaiiing the oven, remove broiler pan and other cookware.

9 Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care

Book,

9 Keep range dean and free of accumulations of

grease or spillovers, which may ignite.

if You Need Service

9 Read “The Problem Solver” on pages 39

and 40 of this book. 9 Don’t attempt to repair or replace any part

of your range unless it is speciflca!!y recom

mended In this book. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS

«Always remove broiler pan from oven 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 broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups.

® Make sure broiler pan is in place correctly to reduce the possibility of grease fires.

* If you should have a grease fire in the broil er pan, turn off the oven and keep door closed to contain fire until it bums out.

Surface Cooking

Lighting Insiryctions

Surface burners on this range are lighted by electric ignition, ending the need for standing pilots with con stantly burning flames.,

In case of a power outage, you can light the pilotless

ignition 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 in this manner.

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

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 will hear a little clicking nois6“the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.

Fiame wit! be almost horizontal and will lift slightly

away from the burner when the burner is first

turned on. A blowing or hissing sound may be

heard for 30 to 60 seconds. This normal sound is

due to improved injection of gas and air into the burner.

Put a pan on the burner before iighiing it, or adjust the

flame to match pan size as soon as it lights, and the

blowing or hissing sound will be much less noticeable

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.

When using aluminum or aluminum-clad stainless

steel pots and pans, adjust the flame so the circle it

makes is about 1/2 inch smaller than the cookware’s bottom.

When boiling, use this same fiame size—1/2 inch smaller than the bottom of the cookware—no matter what the cookware is made of. Foods cook just as quickly at a gentle boil as they do at a furious, rolling boil. A high boil creates steam and cooks away mois ture, flavor and nutrition. Avoid it except for the few cooking processes that need a vigorous boil.

When frying or warming foods in stainless steel, cast iron Of enamelware, keep the flame down—to

about 1/2 the diameter of the pan.

When frying in glass or ceramic cookware, lower

the flame even more.

Top“Of“Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommend

ed because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods

brown evenly in an aluminum skiilei. Minerals In food and water will stain but will not harm aluminum. A quick scour with a soap-filled steel wool pad after

each use keeps aluminum cookware looking shiny

and new. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids for cook

ing with minimum amounts of water,

Cast Iron: if heated slowly, most skillets will give sat

isfactory results.

Note:

e Do 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

0 Check to be sure the burner you turned on Is the one

you want to use.

0 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.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of

some cookware may melt, Follow cookware manu

facturer's recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—

those for oven use only and those for top-ot-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 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 distri

bution Combination metal skillets generally work

satisfactorily if used at medium heat as the manu-

Using Your Oven

Electric Ignitten

The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by

electric ignition.

To tight either burner, touch the pad for the desired

function and press & hold or tap INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is dis played. The burner should ignite within 60 seconds.

y\Her the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner cycles—off completely, then on with a full fíame—to keep the oven temperature controlled,

CAUTION; DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DUR

ING AN ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE- The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure,. Gas will not How 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

Xhe oven light comes on automatically when the door

is opened- Use the switch on the lower control panel

to turn the light on and off when the door is closed .

Syrface Light

(On models so equipped) Use the switch on the upper control panel to turn the

surface light on and off

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 “stop” position. 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, pul! the shelf toward you, tilt front end

upward and pull the shelf out.

To replace, place shelf on

shelf support with stop-

locks (curved extension

under shelf) facing up and toward rear of oven Tilt up front and push shelf toward back of oven until it goes past "stop” on oven walk Then lower front of shelf and push it all the way

back,

Shelf Positions

Oven Vents

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop (see page 33). 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. a 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

® Metal items will be come very hoi rl 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.

The oven has five shelf supports for normal bak

ing and roasting—A (bot

tom), 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

Shelf positions lor cooking are suggested on Baking and Roasting pages.

Oven Moisiyre

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass (on models so equipped). These droplets are harmless and wti! evaporate

as the oven continues to heat Lsp.

Baking See Baking Guide on page 24.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately

using an electronic control system, it is recommended

that you operate the range for a number of weeks

using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s performance, if you think an adjustment is necessary, see Adjusting Oven Thermostat on page 37,.

Preheating is not necessary when roasting or for long time cooking of whole meals.

2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickiy. For most con ventional baking, light, shiny finishes give best results

because they help prevent overbrowning. For best browning results, we recommend cake pans and pie plates With dull bottom surfaces

3, Dark or non-shiny finishes and glass cookware generally absorb heat, which may result in dry, crisp crusts. Reduce oven heat 25“E if lighter crusts are desired Rapid browning of some foods can be achieved by preheating cast iron cookware

Dual Shelf Cooking

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

turkey at position R, a second shelf may be positioned on shelf support D so that scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time. (See page 25,) Calculate

the total cooking time that will enable both dishes to complete cooking at the same time. Allow 15 to 20 minutes of additional cooktime for the potatoes.

Broiling

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the

fo od , Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be

broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum,

The oven door should be closed during broiling.

Step 1: if meat has fat or gristle near edge, cut verti cal slashes through both about 2" apart. If desired, fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8" thick.

Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack in broiler pan which comes with range. Always use rack so fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise juices may become hot enough to catch fire

Step 3: Position shelf on recommended shelf position as suggested in Broiling Guide on page 28

. Step 4: Touch BROIL pad.

i appears in display and '‘BROIL" flashes

Step 5: Select LO Broil {450''F„) by tap ping INCREASE pad once. Select HI Broil {550°F.) by tapping INCREASE pad

twice.

To change from HI Broi

pad once

to LO Broil, lap DECREASE

Step 6: Turn food only once during cooking Time foods for first side per Broiling Guide.

Turn food, then use times given for second side as a guide to preferred done

ness, (Where two thick nesses and times are

given together, use first times given for thinnest food,)

Qwestioins & 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

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

thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the

rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spat

ter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?

A, No, Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate. Always sait after cooking Turn meat with tongs: piercing 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 longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide, Turn food only once during broil

ing.

0. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent meat from sticking?

A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler

heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat from sticking to the surface However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make cleanup easier

(continued next page)

Step 7: When Broiling is completed touch CLEAR/OFF. Serve food immedi ately, and leave pan outside oven to cool during meal for easiest cleaning

The oven door should be closed during broiling.

1. Always use broiler pan and rack that comes with your oven It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan

2. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around out side edges of meal To slash, cut crosswise through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use

tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing meat and

losing juices.

3. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broil ing, Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 min utes only

4. When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges hang over sides, which could soil oven with fat drip ping.

S'. Broiler does not need to be preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired,

6. Frozen Steaks can be conventionally broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1 Vt times per side.

Care and Cleaning

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range win give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance

BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS DiSCONMECTED BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF YOUR RANGE.

Burner Grates

Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth—don't put them back on the range wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.

To get rid of burned-on food, soak the grates in a

slightly diluted liquid detergent.

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.

Drip Pans

Remove the grates. Then lift out the drip pans Drip pans can be cleaned in dishwasher or by hand—after pans cool slightly, sprinkle on detergent, wash or scour with hot water, rinse and dry.

If your range is equipped with porcelain enamel drip pans, you can clean them in the self-cleaning oven. After wiping off boilovers that are not stuck on, place one pan upside down on each shelf

Caution: Chrome-plated drip pans {on models so equipped) should never be cleaned in the self-clean ing oven.

or plastic pad. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners because they will clog the burner openings and scratch the burners. If the holes become clogged, clean them with a toothpick.

Before putting the burner 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 it is properly seated and level.

Do not store flammabie materials in an oven or near the coolctop. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids In the vicinity of this or any other appliance..

Lift-up Cooktop

There are a number of precautions you can take to avoid marring the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull. Don’t slide heavy pans across it. If you spill foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods With high sugar content, clean them up as soon as possible. If allowed to set, these foods could cause a dull spot Also, no matter how stubborn the food stain, never use harsh abrasive cleansers. They could permanently damage the enamel surface. We recom mend a cleanser such as Soft Scrub* brand cleanser* or a similar cleaning product

You may notice slightly bluish or darker spots in the porcelain burner well area around the grate support bumps. These are normal.

Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.

To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up. To raise the coolctop:

1. Be sure burners are turned off.

2. Remove the grates.

Range Top Burners

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

You should clean

the burners routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog these holes. Burners lift out for cleaning.

To remove burned-on food, soak the burner in a solu tion of mild liquid detergent and water. Soak the burn er for 20 to 30 minutes. If the food doesn’t rinse off completely, scrub It with soap and water and a brush

3. Grasp the two front burner wells and lift up. Dual support rods

will hold the cooktop up while you clean underneath it

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable to make the interior more accessible, if desired.

Note: The oven door 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.

Mote: Be careful not to piace hands between the

spring hinge and the oven frame as the spring hinge could snap back and pinch your fingers.

Wash with hot, soapy water, For stubborn spots, use a

solution of vinegar and water. Do not immerse the door in water.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the

“out" 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

Oven Shelves

You may clean the oven shelves with a miid abrasive cleanser, following manufacturer’s directions. After Gleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a dry cloth-- To remove heavy burned-on soil, you may use soapy metal pads, foliowing manufacturer's directions. After scrubbing, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.

Broiler Pan & Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack and carefully pour off the grease Wash and rinse the broil er pan and rack in hot, soapy water,

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dish cloth. That way, burned-on foods will soak loose while

the meal is being served.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack in the oven,

Contro! Panel

Clean up any spills or spatters with a damp cloth

Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water Clean touch pads with miid liquid dish detergent and a

soft cloth Rub touch pads lightly. CAUTION; DO NOT

USE ABRASIVES OF ANY KIND ON THE CONTROL

PANEL, The lettering on the pads is sensitive to abra sives and pressure.

Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier clean

ing, To remove knob, puli it straight off the stem. If

knob is difficuit to remove, place a towel or dishcloth

between the knob and control panel and puil gently. Wash knobs in soap and water but do not soak.

Gleaning under the Range

The area under the range can be reached easily for

cleaning by removing the bottom drawer. To remove,

pull drawer out all the way, tilt up the front and remove

it. To replace, insert glides at back of drawer beyond

stop on range glides. Lift drawer if necessary to insert

easily. Let front of drawer down, then push in to close.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamei finish. To

make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers,. This Is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with high acid content- Hot fruit fillings or foods that are acidic (such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface.

If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow the

oven to cooi first- You can then clean the oven bottom

with soap and water, a miid abrasive cleanser or

soap-filled abrasive pads. Rinse well to remove any

soap before self-cleaning.

Oven Âir 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 cor

rect combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door and under the storage drawer.

Minor Adjustments You Can Make

Adjusting Oven Thermostat

When cooking a food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from their factory settings. Differences of 5 to 10 minutes between the cooking times of old ovens and those of new ovens are not unusual. Since the thermostat on your new oven has been set correctly at the factory, it is more likeiy to be accurate than the thermostat on the oven it replaced.

If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change the thermostat, set the oven temperature 25“F. higher or lower than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The resufts of this ‘1esf should give you an idea of how much the thermostat should be changed.

To adjust thermostat:

1. Touch BAKE p ad -

Broil and Oven Burner Air Adjustment Shutters

Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burners regulate the flow of air to the flames.

The air adjustment shutter lor the top burner is in the

center of the rear wall of the oven.

To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter to allow more or less air into the burner tube as needed.

The flames for the top (broil) burner should burn steady with approximately T‘ blue cones and should not extend out over the edges of the burner baffle.

To determine if the bottom burner flames are prop er, remove the oven bottom (see page 8) and the burner baffle.

The shutter for the bottom burner is near the back wail behind the storage drawer.

To remove the burner baffle, use a nut driver to remove the 1/4“ hex head screw shown in the illustra tion above. Do not remove any other screws. Pull baf fle straight out until it is tree from the slot that holds it at rear of oven.

The flames should have 1/2" to 3/4" blue cones with no yellow tipping. When the baffle is back in place, the flames will resettle.

Visually check the color of the flames every six months If they look like illustration (A) on page 39, call for service
