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 burner. Place a pan
of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off
before removing the pan.
•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.
• 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
burners.
• 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.
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it

plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items could melt or Ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks, Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is
hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and
its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high
heat of the broiler.
• Do not coverthe broilerinsertwith aluminum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has

Setting Surface Controls
Your range may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to
heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.
The SIMMER burner (some models) is best used for simmering delicate sauces,
etc.
The standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.
The POWER burner or burners (some models) are best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Select a burnerand flame size appropriate to the pan.
Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Operating the Gas Surface Burners:
1.
Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2.
Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF
position.
3.
Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four electronic
surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, onlythe burneryou are
turning on will ignite.
3.
Visually check that the burner has lit.
4.
Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to thedesired flame size.
The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use theguides
and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob
in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob
is left in the LITE position.)
Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower

INCORRECT
Never extend the flame beyond the outer
edge of the utensil. A higherflame simply
wastes heat and energy, and increases
your risk of being burned by the flame.
*Thes6 settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settingsmay vary when using
other types of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. Agood flame is clear, blueand 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.
one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for
determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type
of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed forcooking.
*Flame Size Type of Cooking
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control 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
undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food
will neither brown nor cook properly.

Self-Cleaning Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils
completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can
wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings
in or around any part of the Self-Cleaning oven.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. 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.
• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and
any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand
high cleaning temperatures.
Page 12
Self-Cleaning (cont’d)
• Oven racks should be removed. If they are not removed
during the Self-Clean cycle their color will turn slightly
blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is
complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small
amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide
easier into the rack position).
• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity
before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use
hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers 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.
• 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. These areas heat
sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills
remaining on the oven bottom should be removed.
Starting the Select Self-Clean Cycle
For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for
light soils and a 3 hour cycle for average or a 4 hour cycle
for heavy soils. NOTE: The kitchen area should be well
ventilated usingan open window, ventitlation fan or exhaust
hood during the 1 st Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate
the normal odors associated with the 1st Self-Clean cycle.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is complete:
1. The time of day or "End" will appear in the display
window and the “Clean” and "LOCK" light will continue
to glow.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and
the "LOCK" light has gone out, the oven door can be
opened.
3. If “End” is in the display and the Select Clean indicator
light remains ON, press (S). The time of day will

Before You Call
Solutions to Common Problems
Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that
are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.
Range is not level - (1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in
center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling
legs at base of range until the oven rack is level. (2) Be sure
floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support
range. (3) If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to
correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make
range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have
sufficient room for range clearance.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible
for service - (1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly.
Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2)
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range
can be lifted over carpet. (3) Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a
flexible C.S.A. International approved metal appliance
connector installed.
Surface burners do not Naht - (1) Surface control knob has not
been completely turned to LITE. Push in & turn the surface
control knob to LITE until burner ignites & then turn control knob
to desired flame size. (2) Burner ports are clogged. With the
burner OFF, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean ports.
See Cleaning the Contoured Well Areas, Burner Cap, Burner
Head & Burner Drip Pans in the General Care & Cleaning
section for complete cleaning instructions. (3) Range power
cord is disconnected from outlet (electric ignition models only).
Be sure cord is securely plugged into the outlet. (4) Electrical
power outage (electric ignition models only). Burners can be lit
manually. See Setting Surface Controls.
Surface burner flame burns half wav around - (1) Burner ports
are clogged. With the burner off, clean ports by using a smallgauge wire or needle. (2) Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly
fan the flame and allow burner to operate until flame is full. Dry the
burners thoroughly following instructions in the Cleaning the
Contoured Well Areas, Burner Cap, Burner Head & Burner Drip
Pans in the General Care & Cleaning section.
Surface burner flame is orange - (1) Dust particles in main line.
Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns blue.
(2) In coastal areas, a slightly orange flame is unavoidable due to
salt air.
Oven does not operate - (1) Be sure the oven controls are set
properly for the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls in
this Use & Care Manual or read the instructions “Entire
appliance does not operate" in this checklist. (2) Be sure gas
regulator valve is “ON”. See installation instructions.
Entire appliance does not operate - (1) The time of day is not
set. The time of day must first be set in order to operate the
oven. See "To Set the Clock” in the Setting Oven Controls
section.(2) Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.
(3) Service wiring is not complete. Contact your authorized
service agent. (4) Electrical power outage. Check house lights
to be sure. Call your local electric company for service. (5) Be
sure gas supply is turned ON.
Oven smokes excessively during broiling - (1) Controi(s) not
set properly. Follow Broil Instructions under Setting Oven
Controls. (2) Oven door is open. Make sure oven door is
closed. (3) Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the
broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the
element. Preheat the broil element for searing. (4) Meat not
properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut fatty
edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean. (5) Insert on
broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place
grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow
grease to drip into pan (some models). (6) Grease has built up
on oven surfaces or broiler pan
Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Old
grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Oven control beeps and displays any “F” code error tfor
example F11t - Electronic control has detected a fault condition.
Press CLEAR/OFF to clear the display & stop beeping.
Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press

back cover).
Poor baking results - Many factors affect baking results. Make
sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the
oven & 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 Your
Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual.
Soil not completely removed after Self-Cleaning cycle -
Failure to dean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door
area outside oven seal. These areas are not in the Seif
Cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean
these areas before the Self-Cleaning cycle is started. Burned-
on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or
a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
Self-Cleaning cycle does not work - (1) Oven control not set
properly. Follow instructions under Self-Cleaning. (2) Self
Cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping
or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle" under Self-Cleaning.
Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent - Excessive
spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie
spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom.
Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or
excessive smoke are present see “Broiling” in the Setting Oven
Controls section.
