The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack
(some models) may be used for most cooking needs.

The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower
than flat oven racks. This design provides several additional
possible positions between the flat rack positions.

Air circulation in the oven

For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the cookware in the oven for even heat to reach
around the food (See Fig. 3 ).

A CAUTION

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,

Please note: 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 most popular materials for cookware available are:

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware

resists staining & pitting).

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.

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.

For most cooking; start on the highest setting and then turn
to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the
recommendations below as a guide for determining proper
flame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)

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.

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.

Glass - Slow heat conductor.

*These settings are based for medium-weight metal or
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using
cookware made from different materials.

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 cooktop SIMAAER burner (right rear cooktop

position) is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
The standard size cooktop burners may be used for most

surface cooking needs. Some models are equipped with an
oblong shaped

BTU and will heat like any other standard sized burner.
The larger cooktop POWER burner (on some models) or

TURBO BOIL burner (on some models) are recommended
for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and
when preparing larger quantities of food.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.

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

• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.

• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This
will cause uneven heating results.

Conv Bake

Benefits of the convection bake feature

— Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and

energy.
— Multiple rack baking.
— No special pans or bakeware needed.

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved

heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning
results.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in

juices and flavors.
Most foods will cook faster and more evenly with the

convection feature.

Fig. 1

Conv Bake may be set for any oven temperature between
300°F (149°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Convection baking:

• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s

recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder
of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum
recommended cook time.

• For best results when using a single oven rack, place rack

in position 3 or 4 (See Fig. 1). When using 2 oven racks,
place in positions 1 and 4. When using 3 oven racks
place in positions 1, 3, and 6 (use offset oven rack only in
position 6).

Example — To set Conv Bake with a default oven set

temperature of 350° F:

1. Press Conv Bake keypad.

2. Press START .

To cancel Conv Bake at anytime press stop .

Important notes:

• The convection fan will begin rotating 6 minutes after
Conv Bake, Conv Roast or Conv Convert has been
activated.

• If the oven door is opened when any convection function
is active and the convection fan is rotating, the
convection fan will
closed.

• When using Conv Bake cook time reductions may vary
depending on the amount and type of food being
cooked.

• Layer cakes will have better results using the Cakes
Breads function.

• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware
resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time

to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are

recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies and muffins.

Conv Roast

The Conv Roast function combines a cook cycle with the
convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked
with Conv Roast function will be juicer and poultry will be
crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the
inside.

Conv Roast may be set for any oven temperature between
300°F (149°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Conv Roast:

• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
Conv Roast.

• Since Conv Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook time
by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe
(check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook
time until the desired doneness is obtained.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent
the meat from browning properly.

Example — To set Conv Roast with a default oven set

temperature of 350° F:

1. Press Conv Roast keypad.

2. Press START .

To cancel Conv Roast at anytime press stop .

Important notes:

• The convection fan will begin rotating 6 minutes after

Conv Convert

The Conv Convert function makes it easy to convert any
baking recipe and include the convection feature. The oven
control uses the normal recipe settings and adjusts to a
lower temperature for convection baking.

When Conv Convert is used with a Cook Time setting, the
Conv Convert function will display a CF (See Fig. 1) as a
reminder to “check food” when the bake time is 75%
complete. At this time the oven control will sound 1 long
beep at regular intervals until the set cook time has
finished.

Meat probe (some models)

When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry, use
the meat probe function to check the internal temperature
without any guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry
and roasts, testing the internal temperature is the best
method to insure properly cooked meats.

Important notes:

• Use ONLY the meat probe supplied with appliance. Using
any other probe or device may result in damage to
appliance and the meat probe receptacle.

• Never leave or store meat probe inside oven.

• Handle the meat probe carefully when inserting and
removing from food or probe receptacle. Do not use
tongs to pull on meat probe cable when inserting or
removing from food or receptacle.

• Defrost food completely before inserting meat probe to
avoid damaging probe.

• To avoid possibility of burns, after cooking carefully
unplug meat probe using a pot holder to protect hands.

3. Press START .

Press STOP to cancel Cakes or Breads function at any

time.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

Important notes:

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

• Breads will have better results baking on a single oven
rack.

• Layer cakes will have best results using the Cakes
function.

Proper meal probe placement:

• Always insert meat probe so that the probe tip rests in
the center of the thickest part of meat. Do not allow
meat probe to touch bone, fat, gristle or cookware.

• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert meat probe into the
center of lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as
meat loaf or casseroles, insert meat probe into center of
food. To find center of the food visually measure using
probe as a guide (See Fig. 3). When cooking fish, insert
meat probe just above the gill.

• For whole poultry or turkey, insert meat probe into the
thickest part of inner thigh, below the leg (See Fig. 4).

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes or cookies using 2 oven

racks, place cookware on rack in positions 2 and 4 (5 if
using the offset oven rack). For best results when baking
cakes or cookies using a single oven rack, place offset oven

rack in positions 2 or 3.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh
beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to
only 140°F/60°C means some food poisoning organisms
may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen

Setting Slow Cook

The Slow Cook function may be used to cook foods more
slowly and at lower oven temperatures. Slow Cook provides
cooking results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or
Crock-Pot.

Slow Cook is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow
cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats

becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal.

À WARNING

food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods
that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or
poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even
when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more
than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed
promptly when finished cooking.

FOOD POISONING HAZARD. Do not let

For Slow Cook two settings are available, high (Hi) or low
(Lo). The high setting is best for cooking foods from a 4 to
5 hour time period. The low setting is best for cooking
foods from a 8 to 9 hour time period.

Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:

• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with

the Slow Cook.

• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack

position 2 or 3.

• Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking

utensils when cooking multiple food items.

• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open

when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the
Slow Cook time may need to extended.

• Cover the foods to keep them moist or use a loose or

vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.

• Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur.

Cook times will vary; depending on the weight, fat
content, bone & the shape of the roast.

Example — To set Slow Cook:

1. Position cookware in oven and close oven door.

2. Press Slow Cook keypad. Hi will appear in the display
indicating the default temperature setting is for high.

mode, the Delay Flex Clean can only be set to start up to
11 hours and 59 minutes in advance. To set a Delay Start
Flex Clean to begin 12 or more hours (maximum is 23
hours and 59 minutes) in advance, be sure to set the

• If Flex Clean is active and then interrupted by power

failure or cancelled before the oven was thoroughly
cleaned, it may be necessary to run a self-clean cycle
again. If the oven temperature was high enough when
interrupted you may need to allow up to 4 hours for the
oven to cool before Flex Clean can be started again.

• When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain
locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition
to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow
about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you
will be able to open the oven door.

• The Flex Clean function will not operate whenever a
radiant surface element is ON or the oven lockout is
active.

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 dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth 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 dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before
wiping the control panel.

Gentle scrubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning pad will remove most spots.
Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult
spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean
water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled no-scratch cleaning 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.

required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet
the application needs must be made by an authorized
qualified agency.

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. See the
following sections for more instructions.

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.

Cleaning surface burner heads

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.

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 (See to Fig. 1;
round style shown - oval or Dual Ring burner on some
models not shown).

Important notes:

• 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.

• 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.

Before You Call • Solutions to common problems

Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time & expense. Possible solutions to these problems

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 temperature in

Setting Oven Controls section.

Appliance is not level.

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

Oven portion of appliance does not
operate.

• Be sure floor is level, strong & 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 & have sufficient room for appliance clearance.

• 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.

• Be sure regulator gas valve is turned to ON. See installation instructions.

• The time of day is not set. The time of day must first be set in order to
operate the oven. See Setting clock in Setting Oven Controls section.

• Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired function. See
Setting Oven Controls section and review instructions for the desired cooking
function in this manual or see "Entire appliance does not operate” in this
checklist.

Entire appliance does not operate.

Oven control beeps and displays F
code error.

• Make sure power cord is plugged properly into outlet.

• Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local

vent.

Convection fan does not rotate.

Solution

• Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls
section.

• Be sure oven door is closed when broiling.

• Meat too close to upper burner. Reposition the oven rack to provide proper
clearance between the meat & the upper burner. Preheat oven when
searing.

• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining
fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.

• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when
broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.

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 Broil in Setting Oven Controls section.

• Allow 6 minutes for convection fan to start rotating after setting Convection.

• Oven door is open. Convection fan will turn off if oven door is opened when
Convection is active. Close oven door.
