©Sears, Roebuck and Co,.

--Do not store or use gasoline or other

flammable vapors and liquids in the

vicinity of this or any other appliance.

mWHAT TO DO IF YOU

SMELL GAS

o Do not try to light any appliance. o Do not touch any electrical switch; do not

use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a

neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

--Installation and service must be performed

by a qualified installer, service agency or

the gas supplier.

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 substances.. 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 combustion.. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood_

- Fluorescent light bulbs and safety valves on standing pilot ranges contain mercury, if your model has these features, they must be recycled according to local, state and federal codes

When You Get Your Range

• Have the installer show you the location of the

range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off

if necessary,

• Have your range installed and properly grounded

by a qualified installer in accordance with the

Installation Instructions,, Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians,.

• 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 in doubt 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, three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. In Canada, the appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with

this appliance_

° Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of

your range unless it is specifically recommended 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 matedal ignite.

Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path and

out of drafty locations to prevent pilot outage (on models with standing pilots) and poor air

circulation. After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Never install the

range over vinyl tile or [inoteum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.

Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a

qualified installer for the type of gas (natural or

LP), that is to be used_ Your range can be converted

for use with either type of gas. See the Installation

Instructions..

WARNING: Theconversionofyourrange

to LP gas must be made by a qualified LP technician installer in accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

AWARNING

(_ ll ranges can tip and injury could

result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wal! and

floor by installing the Anti-Tip device

supplied.. To check if the device is installed and

engaged properly, remove the storage drawer, broiler drawer, WARM-N-READY

drawer, or kick panel and inspect the

rear leveling lego Make sure it fits

securely into the slot_

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and

causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door. Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution could result

in tipping of the range and injury.

(continued next page)

Using Your Range

• Do not leave children alone or unattended where a

range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage, broiler, or WARM-N-READY drawer, (depending on model) or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personat injury..

= Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.

CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS ABOVE A

RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE-- CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

° Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while

using the appliance. Be carefui when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flames or hot oven surfaces and

may cause severe burns.

= 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 covering the pan completely with a well-fitting Iid, cookie sheet or flat tray_ Use a

multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

• Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam4ype fire extinguisher.

= Flame in the oven, storage drawer, broiler drawer,

or WARM-N-READY drawer can be smothered completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemica_ or foam-type fire extinguishe[.

• Do not store flammable materials in an oven, range storage drawer or broiler drawer, WARM-N-READY drawer, or near the cooktop.

• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°E. and poultry

to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°E Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness..

• For your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

Surface Cooking

• Always use the LtTE position (on models with

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

make sure the burners have ignited.

• Never leave the surface burners unattended at high

flame settings. Boiiovers cause smoking and greasy spiltovers 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 hazardou&

. 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

o To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materia}s and spillage, turn cookware

handles toward the side or back of the range without 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.

• 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 burners if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over

the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as

a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and 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

health hazard

• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause

hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective

shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause 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 possible to

prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep

fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool

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

• Use proper pan size, Avoid pans that are unstable or

easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers and large enough to cover burner grates

This will both save cleaning time and prevent

hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy

spattering or spilfovers left on the range can ignite

Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped

and will remain coo!.

• Keep all plastics away from the top burners.

o Do not leave plastic

items on the cooktop--they may

melt if left too close to the vent.

• Do not leave any items on the cooktop. Vent appearance and Eocation vary

The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to bursL

• To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain

that the controls for all burners are at the OFF

position and all grates are cool before attempting

to remove them.

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

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

• When a pilot goes out (on models with standing pilots), you wilt detect a faint odor of gas as your signal

to relight the pilot When relighting the pilot, make sure the burner controls are in the OFF 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 qualified service technician°

Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

WARM-N-READY Drawer

• The purpose of the WARM-N-READY drawer is to

hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature, Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the WARM-N-READY drawer.

• Do not use the WARM-N-READY drawer to dry

newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire..

• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils

or food in the WARM-N-READY drawer when not in use.

• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near

your WARM-N-READY drawer.

• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your

WARM-N-READY drawer.

• Do not warm food in the WARM-N-READY drawer for more than two hours.

• Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the WARM-N-READY drawer. These

surfaces may be hot enough to cause burns REMEMBER: The inside surface of the WARM-N-

READY drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.

• Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam excape before removing

or replacing food.. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it.

This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior_

(continued next page)

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

• Do not use the 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 burns to hands, face and eyes.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

° 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 coutd

result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.

° Never use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.

Improper use of foil could start a fire.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,

follow the manufacturer's directions..

• Use only glass cook-ware that is recommended 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°

o When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,

the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups,_

° Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly to

reduce the possibility of grease fires.

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

turn the oven off and keep the broiler compartment door closed to contain fire until it burns out°

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 wilt damage the inside

of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used°

• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, grid, the shelves and other cookware°

° IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely

sensitive to the fumes given off during the Setf-Cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well

ventilated room.

• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting

the self-clean cycle.

° If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the

oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

o Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Manual. = Keep the range clean and free of accumulations of

grease or spillovers, which may ignite.

Your range is equipped with one of the two types of

surface burners shown at ]eft,

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 burners in this manner,

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure

occurs wilt continue to operate normally.

The electrode of the spark igniteris exposed, When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark.

Do not disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on, An electric shock may result,

which could cause you to knock over hot cookware..

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.

On ranges with sealed burners:

• The smaller burner (right rear position) will give the best simmer results. It offers precise cooking performance for delicate foods, such as sauces or foods which need to cook over low heat for a tong time. It can be turned down to a very low simmer setting..

• The right front burner is higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker (natural gas installations only).

Before Lighting a Burner

• If drip pans are supplied with your range, they should be used at alt times..

• Make sure all grates on the range are in place before using any burner.

To Light a Surface Burner

Push the control knob in and

turn it to LITE. You wil! 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,,

• 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.

• 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 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

Surface Light (on some models)

Use the switch on the control panel to turn the light on and off_

(continued next page)

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended

because it heats quickly and evenly, Most foods brown evenly in an atuminum skillet° Use saucepans with tight- fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water,,

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

satisfactory results ...........

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt,1Follow 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°

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 generally work satisfactorily if used at medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Wok This Way

(on models with sealed burners)

We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok_ They

are available at your local retail store.

A tra_titional round bottom wok can be used with Wok

Holder accessory, model JXWK which can be ordered from your appliance dealer,,The Wok Holder fits on top of the range grate to provide support and proper air circulation for traditional round bottom woks only,, Do

not use flat bottomed woks with the Wok Holder.

Do not use a wok on any

other support ring, Placing

the ring over the burner grate

may cause the burner to work

improperly, resulting in carbon

monoxide levels above

allowable current standards.r This could be dangerous to your health, Do not try to

use such woks without the ring unless you are using the Wok Holder,, You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over,

Stove Top Grills

(on models with sealed burners)

Do not use stove top grills

on your sealed gas burners.

Ifyou use the stove top grill

on the seated gas burner it wilt cause incomplete

combustion and can result

in exposure to carbon

monoxide levels above allowable current standards

This can be hazardous to your health.

Before Using Your Oven

Be sure you understand how to set the control properly

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 temperature The burner should ignite within 30-90 seconds.

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

Power Outage

electric ignition oven during an electrical power failure The oven or broiler cannot be tit during a power failure Gas witl 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 Vents The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of

the cooktop See the Features section Do not biock 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. Handles of pots and pans on the cook-top 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 become very hot if they are left on

the cooktop and could cause burns.

Vent appearance and

location vary

Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and wilt increase pressure in closed containers, which may

cause them to burst

(continued next page)

Oven Light

Use the switch on the control panel to turn the oven 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 completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or placing food on them,

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support° Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.. This wilt eliminate reaching into the hot oven_

To remove a shelf

from the oven, pull it toward you, tilt the front -m end upward and pull the shelf out.

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf

support with the stop-locks (curved extension of 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 f_f [

for baking and roasting--A --_ (bottom), B, C, D and E (top) It also has a special low shelf

position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a large turkey. The shelf is not designed -

to slide out at this positiOn.rThe --_ shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Automatic Oven Shut Off

As a safety feature, this oven will automatically shut

itself off after 12 hours° On models with touch pad clock controls, this feature may be deactivated to allow the oven to be left on for more than 12 hours.

To deactivate the Automatic Oven Shut-Off, press and hold both the A and T MIN, pads for about 4 seconds.

The display will change from time of day to show "off". To reactivate the feature, press and hold both the _k

and _r MIN. pads for about 4 seconds.. The display will change from time of day to show "on".

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 Upr

Baking

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

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately

using an oven control system_ It is recommended that you operate the oven for a number of weeks to become familiar withyour 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 the temperature you desire.

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

3. Turn the Oven Set knob to OFF and then remove the food.

Oven Shelves

Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the

desired locations while the oven is cool.. The

correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired As a general rule, place most foods

in the middle of the oven, on either shelf position B or C. See the following

chart for suggested shelf positions..

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it, Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature--selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time,

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking

_:akes, cookies, pastf-y And breads. For most casseroles

and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes. After the oven is preheated place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a

browner, crisper crust Use this type for pies_

• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of pan

• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat° When baking in

glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be reduced by 25°E (13°C_)..

• If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find that

you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°E (13°C)

to prevent over-browning

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven,, Baking results

wilt 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 11/z-inch (2,5- to 4-cm) space between pans as wen 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,

(continued next page)

Baking (continued)

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better- looking cookies+ Cookies baked in a jelly rol! pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the wails 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 it+

Cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products+ A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recommended will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it should be+.If baked in a pan smaller than recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may overflow+ Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with 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 took at your food+ Most recipes provide

minimum and maximum baking times such as "bake

30-40 minutes."

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time,

Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows

heat to escape and makes baking times ionger_Your

Questions and Answers

Q. Can 1use the minute timer during oven cooking?

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 timed program. 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 find 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 istoo cool. adjust the thermostat to make it hotter,.

We do not recommend the use of 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;

1. Put the Oven Set knob in the OFF position°

(_ 2, Press and hold the HOUR increase and the

HOUR decrease pads at the same time for

HOtll_ 5 seconds until the display changes

3. Immediately, before display changes back, press the HOUR increase or decrease pad to increase or decrease the temperature in 5 degree increments.

The oven temperature can be increased up to 35°E, (19_C,,) hotter or decreased 35°E (19°C_) cooler.,

If the oven adjustment is set cooler than the factory setting a minus sign "-" and the new temperature wilt

appear in the display°

4. Wait several seconds for the control to automatically set and return to its previous setting.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be

retained in memory after a power failure.

The Type of Margarine Will Affect Baking

Performance

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spread&, The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable

these differences become. Federal standards require products labeled "margarine"

to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water,, The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetabIe oil,

Roasting

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during

roasting, The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Roasting is cooking by dry heat° Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven,. Roasting temperatures, which should be tow and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

The oven has a special low shelf position (R) just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when roasting a large turkey. The sheff 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 s_ight 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 t0 to 20 minutes. This allows the roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. The internal temperature wi!] rise about 5° to 10°E. (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°E (3° to 6°C) less than the temperature shown in the Roasting Guide

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

1. Position oven shelf at

position B for small size roast [3 to 5 Ib&(t.3 to

2.3 kg)] and at position R

for larger roasts..

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 meat. 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 the desired temperature°

See the Roasting Guide for temperatures and approximate cooking time&

4. When roasting is finished, turn the Oven Set 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 20-1b. (10 kg) turkey

on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped) may be added on position D so that an additional food such as scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time..

Foods cooked with the turkey should be added toward the end of the time allowed for the turkey. For example, potatoes which cook for 1 hour should be added to the oven 1 hour before the end of cooking time for the turkey.

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_.

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 successfully without thawing. Follow the directions given on the package tabeL

Broiling

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

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._

It is recommended that meat be cooked to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°E (71°C.) and poultry to

at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°E (82°C.) Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodborne illness., The oven door should be closed during broiling.

Turn the food only once during cooking Time

the foods for the first side according to the

Broiling Guide.,

Turn the food, then use the times given for the second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.

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

If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer

about 1/8"(3 mm) 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 position 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 operation the door may lock and you may not be able to open

it until the oven cools,,

5. Turn the Oven Set knob to BROIL.

6. When broiling is finished, turn the Oven Set knob to OFE Remove the broiler pan from the range and serve the food immediately,, Leave the pan outside the range

to cool.

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 fall into the pan, thus keeping the meat drier. Juices are protected by the grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter

and smoking Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling? A. Noo 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.

A°

Why are my meats not turning out as brown as

they should?

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.,

Broiling Guide

The oven door must be closed during broiling.

• 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_

o For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around eutside

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

juices.

• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to I0 minutes onlyo

• When arranging food on the pan, do not fet fatty edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could soil the

oven,

• The broiler does not need to be preheated However,

for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.

• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the

broiler pan and grid at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 11/2times per side.

Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven

Normal Cleaning Time: 4 hours and 20 minutes 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.b[oiler 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.

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

around the base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork..

PROTECT YOUR FLOOR

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor

The range shSuldbe installed on a sheet of plywood (or

similar material).. When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range wil! rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing°

MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION

Depending on your range, you'll find the model and serial numbers on a label on the front frame of the range, behind

the storage drawer, broiler drawer, WARM-N-READY drawer, or kick panel

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

• Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers

• Pencil and ruler

, Two pipe wrenches (one for backup)

• t_/_' open-end or adjustable wrench

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

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED

• Gas line shut-off valve ° Pipe joint sealant or UL-approved pipe thread tape with

Teflon* that resists action of natural and LP gases

• Ftexible metal appliance connector (l/z" I.D..) A 5-foot (1.5 m) length is recommended for ease of installation but other lengths are acceptable.. Never use an old connector when installing a new range..

• Flare union adapter for connection to gas supply line (%" or 1/2"NPT x 1/2"IoD)

• Flare union adapter for connection to pressure regulator on range (1/2"NPT x 1/2"LD)

•Teflon: Registered trademark of DuPont

(continued next page)

PREPARATION

• Remove all tape and packaging. Lift up the cooktop

(on models with standard twin burners) and remove any packing material under it..Make sure the standard twin burners are properly seated and level

• Remove plastic film that covers some chrome parts (around oven door, side trim).

• Take the accessory pack out of the oven.

• Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.

STEP 1

Provide Adequate Gas Supply

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4"

(10.2 cm) of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10" (25,4 cm) of water column, Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is designed, This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas tf you decide to use this range on LP gas, conversion must

be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the range on that gas_

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 4" (10o2 cm) and 13"

(33 cm) of water column. For LP gas, the pressure

supplied must be between 10" (25,.4 cm) and 13" (33 cm)

of water column. When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least I" (2°5

cm) greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as

given above.. The pressure regulator located at the inlet

of the range manifold must remain in the supply line

regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used,

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the

range to the gas supply line should have an I,.D..of 1/2"

and be 5 feet (1.5 m) in length for ease of installation,.

In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal

connectors no longer than 6 feet (1o8 m) in length.

STEP 2

Connect the Range to Gas

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until new hook-up has been completed, Don't forget to reiight the pilot on other gas

appliances when you turn the gas back on,

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of an AGA..-certified flexible metal appliance

connector is recommended unless local codes require a

hard-piped connection,. Never use an old connector when

installing a new range. If the hard piping method is used,

you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be

moved after the connection is made,

To prevent gas leaks, use pipe joint compound or

wrap Teflon* pipe thread tape around all male (external)

pipe threads..

5. When all connections have been made, make sure all

range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve.. Use a liquid leak detector at all

joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.

CAUTION"

• DO NOT USE A FLAME TO

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

]

When using test pressures greater than t/2psig to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,

disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the

individual shut-off valve._

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 METHOD

(grounding) plug which ._

mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to

minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard

from this appliance,

PREFERRED

J Ensure proper

ground exists before use

The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit 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

obligation of the customer to have it replaced with

a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle°

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR

REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE

POWER CORD.

A: Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord Wilt 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

TEMPORARY METHOD

(Adapter plugs not

permitted in Canada) " _

Align largeprongsislots_ _1I

\ / f ! andfirm connection

before use

a properly grounded two-prong wail receptacle by the use of a UL-fisted adapter, available at most hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the

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

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground

terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal,

and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring_ The customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded,.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with

repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the

appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

B: Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord

Will Be Disconnected Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

The installation of appliances designed for mobile home installation must conform with the Manufactured Home

Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or,

when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for

Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition

(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI A225ol, latest edition, or with local codes., in Canada, mobile home installation must be in accordance with the current CAN/CSA Z240/Mtl Mobile Home

Installation Code.

Electric Disconnect

1. Locate disconnect plug on the range back°

2. Pinch sides of connector and pull out of range back. You will have this disconnect plug:

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.

(continued next page)

STEP 5 Check Ignition of Surface Burners

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

Electric Ignition Models Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in and

turn to LITE position. You will hear a snapping sound indicating proper operation of the spark module° Once the air has been 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

Quality of Flames The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be

determined visually.

(A) Yellow flames--Call

for service

(B) Yellow tips on outer

cones--Normal for

LP gas

STEP 6 Check Ignition of Oven Burner

Your oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically. To operate the oven, turn the OVEN SET knob to a setting above 300°E (t49°C..).. After 30-90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and burn until the set temperature is reached.. The oven burner will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the OVEN SET knob

To check ignitionof the broil burner, turn the OVEN SET knob to BROIL.. After 30-90 seconds, the broil burner wilt ignite

Electric ignition models require electrical power to operate In case of a power outage, the oven burners on these models cannot be fit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot..

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

STEP 7

Adjust Broil and Oven Burner Air Adjustment Shutters If Necessary

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

Normal for natural gas

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

the type of gas you use1

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

The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil) burner is in the center of the rear wall of the oven..

Toadjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the

Philtips head screw and rotate the shutter toward open or closed position as needed..

The flames 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. Flames should have approximately t" blue cones and, if range is supplied with natural gas, should burn with no yellow tipping. (With most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer cones are normal.) Flames should not lift off burner ports. If liftingis observed, gradually reduce air shutter opening until flames are stabilized

To remove the oven bottom:

1. Remove the knurled screws holding down rear of the oven bottom

2. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side..

3. Lift the rear of the oven bottom enough to clear the lip of the range frame, push it back, and then pull it up and out..

STEP 8 Leveling the Range 1, Remove the broiler drawer, WARM-N-READY drawer,

storage drawer, or kick panel.

2o Use a 3/1_"open-end or

socket wrench to back out both rear leveling legs

approximately two turns_

3. Use a 1%" open-end or adjustable wrench to back out the front leveling legs

two turns,

4o Install the oven shelves in

the oven, then position the range where it will be

installed.

5, Check for levelness by

placing a spirit level or a partially filled cup of water on one of the oven shelves. if using a spirit level, take two readings--with the level placed diagonally first in one direction and then the

othe_

6, Adjust the leveling legs until the range is level. 7, After the range is level, slide the range away from the

wall so that the Anti-Tip device can be installed,
