• Never modify or alter the construction of

an range by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/ screws, or any other part of the range.

• Remove the oven door from any unused

range if it is to be stored or discarded.

• For electric ignition models only: Do not attempt to operate the range during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range. If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When using this appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, be sure the appliance has been in temperatures above 32ºF (0ºC) for at least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.

• Be sure to have an appropriate foam-type fire extinguisher available, visible, and easily located near the appliance.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located below the backguard. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or ignite.

• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook in proper bakeware and always use the oven racks.

Save these instructions for future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

• Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven in hot, use extreme caution and do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Remove all bakeware and utensils before moving the rack.

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire. These items will melt if put on the oven bottom.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

• Know which knob controls each surface

heating unit. Place a pan of food on the surface burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating

hood, turn the fan on.

• Use proper pan size — This appliance is

equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the

burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface burners — To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

• Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings — Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.

• Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative over will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.

• Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

Save these instructions for future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

Before manually cleaning any

part of the range, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. The range may be hot and can cause burns.

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area around each surface burner. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

• Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use of kitchen cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE

HEATING UNITS, OR SURFACE COOKING BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE SURFACE HEATING UNITS, OR INTERIOR SURFACE OF THE OVEN. Both surface burners and oven heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface cooking units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and oven door window.

• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning hoods.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR SELF-CLEANING OVENS

• Clean only the parts listed in this manual. Before using self-clean, remove the broiler pan, any food, utensils, and bakeware from the oven. Remove oven racks unless otherwise instructed.

• 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.

• 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.

CONVERSION TO L.P. GAS

Before Setting Surface Controls

Check burner cap placement before operating the surface burners

To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size.

It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations before operating the cooktop burners.

Important notes:

• Always keep surface burner caps in place whenever using a

surface burner.

• When placing the burner caps, be sure that all burner caps

are seated firmly and rest level on top of burner heads.

• For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow

spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas orifice port opening.

• Burner heads are fixed. Do not try to remove them.

On round style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure 3) should fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level.

Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side to be sure it is centered and firmly seated (Figure 5). When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner cap click. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.

Check and be sure that all oval style (some models) burner caps are correctly in place on oval burner heads.

Surface burners may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The surface burner may still be hot and burns may occur if the surface burner is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Figure 6: Burner grates placement

Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop before using the surface burners. The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.

To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down and align into the cooktop recess. Grates should rest flush against each other and against the sides of the recess (Figure 6).

Using proper cookware

Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

Important:

Do not place aluminum foil, or any material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the cooktop.

For best cooking results, cookware should have flat bottoms that rest level on the surface burner grate. Before using cookware, check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Figure 7).

Figure 7: Testing cookware

Using a Wok (not supplied)

Do not use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner unit. Because this ring traps heat, the surface unit and cooktop surface could be damaged.

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are available in most cookware or hardware stores. Round bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the burner unit) may also be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).

Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact with the grates.

Figure 8: Wok recommendations

Setting Proper Burner Flame Size

Important:

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the burner flame setting needed for best cooking results.

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface burner to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting).

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See Aluminum).

Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.

Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations in Table 1 as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking.)

For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be under cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown or cook properly.

Before Setting Surface Controls

Home Canning

Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.

Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges

that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to

a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight ﬁtting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

• Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared.

• Made of material that conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

Figure 10: Cookware recommendations

• Pan overhangs unit by more than 2.5 cm (1”).

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Flame extends beyond unit.

• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.

• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.

• Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.

Setting Surface Controls

Setting Surface Burners

Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared.

The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard size burners may be used for most surface cooking needs. Some models are equipped with a center burner.

The larger POWER burners (on some models) are recommended for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

To set surface burners:

Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may permanently damage the cooktop surface.

When operating the oven, it is possible for residual heat from the oven to build-up and over time to eventually transfer to the surface control knobs located directly above the oven door.

Important note:

• Do not cook with the surface control knob left in the LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the control knob setting remains in the LITE position.

• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.

• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time unless the utensil or cookware was designed for that purpose, such as a griddle. This can cause uneven heating results.

Important: In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate.

2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 11).

3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Doing so may cause cooking failures, fire, or damage to the appliance. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

To Remove: Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.

To Replace: Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

Important: Be sure to remove all oven racks and accessories before starting a self clean cycle. If the oven racks are not removed, they may discolor.

Figure 13: Oven rack type

Figure 12: Oven vent location

Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Oven Racks

Protective Liners — Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self clean temperatures, the oven will be hot enough to melt foil. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.

To Arrange: Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

Oven Rack Description

Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) between the bakeware and the right and left side of the oven cavity’s walls for proper air circulation and be sure pans and bakeware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the bakeware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Setting Convection Bake

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 36). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even baking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time. Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard pan will bake faster and more evenly with the convection feature. Convection Bake is available only in the lower oven, and it may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (148°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Benefits of convection bake:

• Superior multiple oven rack performance

• Foods bake more evenly

• No special pans or bakeware required

• Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.

To set Convection Bake with the default oven set temperature of 350°F (177°C):

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

Do not bake food directly on the oven bottom. To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always bake food in the oven using bakeware positioned on an oven rack.

1. Arrange oven racks in the lower oven and place food in the

oven. Press Conv Bake.

2. Press START. The actual oven temperature will be displayed.

A beep will sound once the oven temperature reaches

350°F (177°C). T he convection fan will start as soon as convection bake has been into the cycle for six minutes.

• When using any single oven rack, position the rack in the oven so that the food is in the center of the oven.

• When baking cakes using two oven racks, place bakeware in positions 1 and 3 (Figure 37) and place pans as shown in

Figure 38.

• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware and the right and left side of the oven cavity for proper air circulation.

• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow air to circulate around the food.

• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or bake time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake time.

• Reduce oven temperature 25°F (14°C) from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended bake time.

• For cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection bake function for best results when using multiple racks.

• The convection fan on a gas range will not begin rotating until Convection Bake has been into the cycle for six minutes.

3. Press STOP to cancel Convection Bake at any time.

Setting the Sabbath feature (for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays)

For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at www.star-k.org.

This appliance provides special settings for use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the oven control. Bake heating is the only cooking feature available while in the Sabbath mode. Oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.

You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s) needed for the oven, as well as the Cook Time and Delay Start options (if needed). Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode will be visible in the displays. The Cook Time option, if set prior to the Sabbath mode, will give one audible alert at the end of Cook Time.

The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 Hour Energy Saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking features are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the cancellation.

If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the oven lights are turned off. The oven door will not activate the interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or closed.

It is recommended that any oven temperature modification made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with two presses of the START key. This will ensure the oven remains on even if an attempt is made to set the oven temperature outside of its temperature range. If the oven temperature is set outside of the temperature range, the oven will default to the nearest available temperature. Try to set the desired oven temperature again.

To program oven to Bake with default oven temperature of 350°F and activate the Sabbath feature:

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

Restoring Factory Default Settings

Your appliance was set with predetermined (default) oven control settings. The following options may have been modified since the appliance was new:

• 12 or 24 hr display mode

• Continuous bake or 12 Hour Energy Savings mode

• Silent or audible control

• Oven temperature display (Fahrenheit or Celsius)

• Oven temperature adjustments (UPO)

To restore oven control to factory default settings:

If you choose to restore any of the options by

using this method, all user settings will be restored to the factory default settings. This includes the oven temperature offset that will reset to (0) zero.

1. Press and hold 7 on numeric keys until acceptance tone sounds (about 6 seconds).

Important: Three quick beeps will sound. This is not the sound you are looking for. Continue to hold until acceptance tone sounds.

2. Press START. The control has been reset with the default settings.

• If a Delay Start time longer than 11 hours and 59 minutes is desired, set the oven control for the 24 hour day display mode setting. For detailed instructions see “Setting 12 hour

or 24 hour display mode” on page 15.

What to do during a power failure or power interruption after the Sabbath feature was activated:

Should you experience a power failure or interruption, the oven will shut-off. When power is restored the oven will not turn back on automatically. The oven will remember that it is set for the Sabbath, and the oven display will show the message SF for Sabbath failure.

The food may be safely removed from the oven while still in the Sabbath feature, however the oven cannot be turned back on until after the Sabbath/Holidays. After the Sabbath observance turn off the Sabbath feature. Press and hold both Cook Time and Delay Start keys for at least 3 seconds simultaneously to turn the Sabbath feature off. SF will disappear from the display and the oven may be used with all normal functions.

Adjusting Oven Temperatures (UPO)

Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure accurate baking temperatures. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommendations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven temperature displayed.

To adjust the oven temperature:

1. Press and hold Bake for the desired oven for about 6 seconds. The factory offset temperature of 0(zero) should appear in the display along with UPPER or LOWER, indicating in which cavity the oven temperature will be adjusted.

2. To increase the temperature use the numeric keypad to enter the desired change. For example purposes, enter 30°F, which is 3 0. The temperature may be increased as much as 35°F (19°C).

3. To decrease the temperature, use the numeric keypad to enter the desired change. For example purposes, enter 30°F, which is 3 0. Press Self Clean. The temperature may be decreased as much as -35°F (-19°C)

4. Press START to accept change. Press STOP to reject the change if necessary.

Important note:

• Each oven cavity can be set with its own unique UPO setting.

Oven Controls

• Oven temperature adjustments will not change the Broil or Self Clean function temperatures.

• If the temperature shows an adjustment of -20°F, and a +20°F adjustment is needed, toggle between the minus (-) or plus (+) in the display by pressing Self Clean.

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans with very high temperatures well above normal cooking temperatures. The high temperature eliminates soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.

Important: You cannot program both ovens for Self Clean at the same time.

Before starting Self Clean:

Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance. During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot to touch and can cause burns.

Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the oven.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

Do not force the door open while self clean is active. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the oven door after self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

Important note:

• If you are planning to use the oven directly after a Self

Clean cycle, remember to allow the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about an hour. So, a three hour Self Clean cycle will actually take about four hours to complete.

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the

oven manually.

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from

oven cavity to avoid damage to the racks. If the oven racks are not removed, they may discolor.

• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop, including

bakeware, utensils and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self clean cycle and will melt.

• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or

around any part of the oven interior.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 47). The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the gasket. Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket.

• Remove any excessive build up caused by spills. Any spill on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spill residue can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

Figure 47: Oven door area to clean and not clean (gasket)

To start an immediate Self-Cleaning cycle or to set a Delay Start time of 4:30 and shut off automatically (example provided is a default 3 hour Self Clean Cycle):

1. Be sure the oven is empty, oven racks are removed, the clock is set with the correct time of day, and oven door is completely closed.

2. Press Self Clean for the oven you wish to clean. CLEAN will flash and 3:00 will show in the display (Figure 48). The control will automatically clean for a 3 hour period (default self-cleaning cycle time). IF a 2 or 4 hour clean time is desired, press 2 0 0 time. Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil. A 3 hour cleaning time is recommended for normal cleaning, 2 hours for light cleaning, and 4 hours for heavy cleaning.

for 2 hours or 4 0 0 for a 4-hour clean

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom (Figure 47). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.

6. Enter the desired start time, using 4 3 0 (Figure 50).

Figure 50: Entering Delay Start start time

7. Press START. CLEAN, DELAY, LOCKED, and DOOR will be displayed (Figure 51).

When Self Clean is finished:

Use caution when opening the oven door after self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns, stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven interior may appear to have cooled after it has been turned off. The oven may still be hot, and burns may occur if it is touched before it has cooled.

Do not force the oven door open when selfclean is active. This can damage the automatic door-locking system. Use caution when opening the door after self-clean cycle is complete; the oven may still be very hot.

1. Hot will appear in display. The time of day, DOOR,

LOCKED, and CLEAN icons will remain in the display.

2. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour), and DOOR

and LOCKED icons are no longer displayed, the oven door can then be opened.

3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away

any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

Important note:

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated. Use an open

window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during the first self clean cycle to help eliminate the normal odors associated the initial clean cycle.

• When the clean time finishes, the oven door will remain

locked until the oven has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean time that was programmed, allow about 1 hour for the oven to cool before opening the oven door. The Self Clean function will not operate when the oven lockout is active.

Figure 51: CLEAN, DELAY, LOCKED, and DOOR in display

8. The control will start the self-cleaning at the set start time, for the period of time previously selected. At that time, the DELAY will go out.

Oven Controls

If it becomes necessary to stop Self Clean when active:

1. Press STOP.

2. The oven door can only be opened after the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 hour and DOOR and LOCKED are no longer displayed.

3. Before restarting Self Clean, be sure to read important notes below.

Important note:

• When Self Clean is active, you may check the amount of clean time remaining by pressing the Self Clean key once.

• If your clock is set with the (default) 12 hr display mode, the Delay Start for a Self Clean can only be programmed to start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes after the time showing in the display (be sure to set the clock to current time before programming a delay start). To set a Delay Start Self Clean to begin 12 or more hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59 minutes) after the time of setting, be sure to first set the control in the 24 Hr display mode.

• If Self Clean was active and then interrupted by a power failure or cancelled before the oven was thoroughly cleaned, it may be necessary to run another Self Clean cycle.

• If the oven temperature was high enough when Self Clean was interrupted the oven control may not allow another Self Clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.

Oven interior For oven interior remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting Self Clean.

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30-60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to OFF position. Grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both knob and shaft, then push knob into place.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls off, activate oven lockout (on some models), and if needed remove any knobs from panel. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Be sure to squeeze excess water from cloth or sponge before wiping control panel, especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a cloth or sponge and be sure to squeeze excess water from cloth or sponge before wiping the control panel.

Gentle scrubbing with a soapy non-abrasive scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammoniasoaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled non-abrasive scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie filling) to remain on the surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. For very important cleaning precautions be sure to read all the instructions in the “Self Clean” section of the Oven Controls chapter on page 28.

Oven racks Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from oven cavity to avoid damage to the

racks. If the oven racks are not removed, they may discolor. Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. RInse with clean water and dry.

Oven door Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well.

You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do not clean oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Take care not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

Cooktop surface Surface burners Burner grates

Stainless Steel (some models) Only use cleaners and polishes that are specifically manufactured for cleaning stainless steel.

Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See “Cleaning the Cooktop and Surface

Burners” instructions on page 32.

Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lintfree cloth. Always be sure to wipe excess cleaner/polish off from the metal surface as bluish stains may occur during future oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Rinse and dry using clean water and a cloth.

Care & Cleaning

General Care & Cleaning

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the gas burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately. Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food spills and grease spatters are not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.

Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health and can chemically damage the cooking surface.

Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. The range may be hot and can cause burns.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the cooktop.

Aluminum foil and utensils

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can

damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface burners under any circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much

lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, the utensil will be damaged or destroyed.

Cleaning the Cooktop and Surface Burners

To avoid possible burns, do not attempt any of the cooktop cleaning instructions provided before turning OFF all of the surface burners and allow them to completely cool.

Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized qualified agency.

To avoid possible burns, do not attempt to operate the surface burners without the burner caps.

Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to avoid scratches.

Keeping the surface burner head ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame.

Important note:

Your appliance is shipped with the burner heads and burner caps in the correct locations. Before using your gas appliances be sure to following installation instructions before operating and remove all packing tape from the cooktop area.

Cleaning recessed and contoured areas of cooktop

If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

Cleaning surface burner grates

• Clean only after the grates are completely cool.

• Use nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mild abrasive

cleanser or clean in the dishwasher.

• Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean

immediately after the grates are cool.

• Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.

Cleaning burner caps

• Remove caps from burner heads after they have cooled.

• Clean heavy soils with a plastic scrubbing pad and

absorbent cloth.

• Thoroughly dry burner caps immediately following cleaning

including the bottom and inside of cap.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners. They can scratch porcelain.

Figure 52: Do not use commercial cleaners

• Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher.

• Do not operate surface burners without burner caps

properly in place. Read important notes.

Cleaning surface burner heads

slots

ignition port

orice port

For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner head and slots. To clean, first use a clean DAMP cloth to soak up any spills. Remove any food from between the burner slots using a small nonabrasive brush like a toothbrush and afterwards wipe up using a damp cloth. For stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean.

Any spill on or around the electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care not to hit the electrode with any thing hard or it could be damaged.

Important note:

Small food particulars on or around the electrode could stop the burner from lighting.

To clean the burner head ignition ports

Each burner head has a small ignition port located as shown. Should you experience ignition problems it may be that this port hole is partially blocked with soil. With the burner head in place, use a small wire gauge needle or the end of a paper clip to clear the ignition port (Refer to Figure 53; round style shown; oval burner on some models not shown).

Important notes:

Care & Cleaning

Figure 53: Cooktop burner head

• The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and must be cleaned in place on the cooktop.

• Always keep the surface burner caps in place whenever a surface burner is in use.

• When replacing the burner caps, be sure the burner caps are seated firmly on top of the burner heads. Improper flame size and uneven heating may result when any surface burners are turned on and the burner caps are not seated correctly.

• For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas orifice port opening.

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time and expense. Possible solutions are provided with the problem listed:

Problem Solution

Poor baking results • Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is used.

Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see

“Adjusting Oven Temperatures (UPO)” on page 27. In addition, be sure to make adjust-

ments for cookware types.

Appliance is not level. • Be sure floor is level, strong, and stable enough to adequately support range.

• If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.

• Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.

• Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for appliance clearance.

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible for service.

Entire appliance does not operate. • Make sure power cord is plugged properly into outlet.

Oven portion of appliance does not operate.

• Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.

• Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so appliance can be lifted over carpet.

• Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a flexible CSA International approved metal appliance connector installed.

• Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service outage information. In addition, service wiring is not complete. Call 1-800-4MY-HOME® for assistance (See back cover).

• House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped immediately following installation. House fuse may not be full engaged. Check fuse and screw or engage circuit breaker securely.
