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 COOl(TOP

Use Proper Flame Size m 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 m 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 recommen-

dations 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 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 recom-

mended 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 accumu-

late 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 commer- cial 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

Personal injury or death from electrical shock may occur if the conversion to L.P.gas is not made by a qualified installer

or electrician.

Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the applica- tion needs must be made by a qualified tech-

nician.

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.

Before Setting Surface Controls

Installing Burner Grates

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 7: 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 7).

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.

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.

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: Testing cookware

For best cooking results, cook- ware should have flat bottoms

that rest level on the surface burner grate. Before using

cookware, check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bot- tom of the cookware (Figure 8).

Setting Proper Burner Flame Size

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

CORRECT

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tightfltting lids.

• Weight of handle does

not tilt pan. Pan is weJJ balanced.

Pan sizes match the

amount of food to be

prepared.

• Made of material that conducts heat well.

Easy to clean.

INCORRECT

• Curved and warped pan bot_

toms.

Pan overhangs unit by more

than 2.5 cm (1").

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Flame extends beyond unit.

Figure 11: Cookware recommendations

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.

Figure 10: Correct and incorrect flame settings

Table 1: Flame size recommendations

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

_These settings are based for medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using

cookware made from different materials.

Important note:

Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used but must conform to the above recom- mended cookware requirements.

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.

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 infor-

mation.

• 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.

Page 12

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 flammable items such as plastic

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.

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.

Turboboil Flex

Your appliance is equipped with the turboboil flex boiling burner. It allows you to bring liquids to a boil, as well as maintain liquids consistently at a low, warm simmer.

When operating the oven, it is possible for

residual heat from the oven to build-up and over time to eventu- ally transfer to the surface control knobs located directly above

the oven door.

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

Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counter- clockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 12).

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

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.

Figure 12: Surface control knob

Page 13

Before Setting Oven Controls

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: This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult

to slide.

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).

Figure 14: Oven rack type 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 posi- tions.

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.

For best results:

Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, or breads.

• When using a single rack for baking, position the rack so that the food is in the center of the oven. If using a single rack in the upper oven, use position 2.

• For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks, place bakeware on oven rack positions 1 and 3 (Figure 33) and place pans as shown in Figure 34.

• Use positions 1 and 3 when baking cookies on multiple pans in the lower oven.

• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between the right and left side of the bakeware and the oven cavity's wall for proper air circulation (Figure 32).

• Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat than shiny bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of foods. To prevent this it may be necessary to reduce the oven temper- ature or cook time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.

• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven.

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

Setting Broil

Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil function temperature may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C). Broil is only available in the upper oven.

The suggested broil settings in Table 4 are recommendations only. Depending on cooking preferences, you can increase or decrease cooking times or move food to a different rack position. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item closely.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extin- guisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when

using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior, oven racks, and oven will become very hot which can cause burns.

Important note:

• Always arrange oven racks when oven is cool. Be sure to

close oven door when broiling.

• For best results when broiling, use quality broil pan along

with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to drain the fat from food, helping to reduce smoking and avoid splatter. Do not use the pan without the insert. Do not cover the insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.

• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop

position before turning or removing food.

Table 4: Suggested broil settings 1, 2

To set Broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550OF:

1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum browning results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before adding food.

2. Press Upper Oven.

3. Press Broil.

4. Press START. Place the food in the oven, and be sure to close the oven door when broiling.

5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and broil other side until done to your satisfaction.

Setting Convection Bake

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 51). 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. Multiple rack baking may slightly increase bake time for some foods, but the overall result is time saved.

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).

Important: The convection bake feature is best used when the recipe instructions have been written especially for convection baking. If the recipe instructions are for baking and you wish to use convection baking, follow the "Setting Convection Convert" instructions on page 26. Convection convert will automatically adjust the oven temperature so that convection baking will provide the best possible results.

Benefits of convection bake:

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 and place food in the oven.

2. Press Lower Oven.

3. Press Conv Bake (Figure 52).

Figure 52: Display for setting convection bake

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

• Superior multiple oven rack performance

Convection Baking/Convert Tips

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,

biscuits, and breads.

• 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 55) and place pans as shown in Figure 56.

• 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.

Figure 55: Lower oven rack positions

Figure 56: Lower oven, multi rack convection pan spacing

• 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 recom-

mended 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.

Setting Convection Convert

Use convection convert (only in the lower oven) to automatically convert any normal baking recipe into a convection bake recipe. The control uses the normal recipe settings and adjusts to a lower temperature for convection baking. When set properly, this feature is designed to display the actual converted (reduced) temperature in the display. Convection convert can only be used with convection bake.

Benefits of convection convert:

Press Conv Convert. CONV BAKE and the oven temperature adjustment will appear in the display, for this example 325 °. The set bake temperature will convert to a lower temperature and begin baking process. A beep will sound once the adjusted oven temperature is reached (Figure 58).

• Superior multiple oven rack performance

• Some foods bake faster, saving time and energy

• No special bakeware required Important: When using convection convert, bake time reductions

may vary depending on the open temperature setting. Convec- tion convert reduces original temperatures by 25°F (14°C).

Important note:

• When using Convection Convert feature, Cook Time reduc- tions may vary depending on the oven set temperature.

• The convection fan will begin rotating once Convection Bake, Convection Roast, or Convection Convert have been into the cycle for six minutes.

• If the oven door is opened when any convection function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven

door is closed.

To program oven for Convection Convert with recipe tempera- ture 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.

Figure 58: CONV BAKE appears in display

Important note:

When used with a cook time, convection convert will display CF for check food when the bake time is 75°/'0 complete (Figure 59). The minimum amount of cook time using convection convert with

Cook Time is 20 minutes.

Figure 59: CF appears in the display When the bake time has completely finished, the control will

display End (Figure 60) and will sound three long beeps every 30 seconds until STOP is pressed.

Setting Convection Roast

The Convection Roast function is available in the lower oven only. It combines a cook cycle with the convection fan to roast

meats and poultry. Meats cooked using the Convection Roast function will be juicier, and poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Heated air circu- lates around the meat from all sides, gently browning the exterior and sealing in the juices and flavors. Use this mode when cooking speed is desired.

Convection Roast may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (148°C) to 550°F (288°C).

To set Convection Roast with an oven set temperature of 375°F (191°C):

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and oven racks will become very hot which can cause burns. Do not cover the broil pan/insert with aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on fire. Flour may be explosive, and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.

1. Arrange oven racks and place food in oven.

2. Press Lower Oven.

3. Press Conv Roast (Figure 61).

The convection fan will begin rotating once Convection Bake, Convection Roast, or Convection Convert haven been into the cycle for six minutes.

If the oven door is opened when any convection function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven

door is closed.

Roasting Rack Instructions (if equipped): When preparing meats for convection roasting, use broiler pan

and insert along with the roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert will prevent grease splatters. The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the

meat.

Place the oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom oven rack position.

Place the insert/grid on the broiler pan. Make sure the insert is securely seated on top of the broiler pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert. Do not cover the insert

with aluminum foil.

Next, place the roasting rack on the insert/grid. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack allows the heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase browning on the underside.

4. Place meat (fat side up) on insert (Figure 63). Place prepared food on oven rack and slide into oven.

Figure 61: Display for setting Convec Roast

4. Enter the desired roasting temperature (3 7 5) using the numeric keypad.

Convection Roasting tips:

• Preheating for convection roast will not be necessary for most meats and poultry.

• Arrange oven racks so the food is in the center of the oven. Since convection roast cooks faster, you can reduce cook

times by 25°/'0 from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook

time until the desired doneness is obtained.

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

• Be sure to carefully follow your recipe's temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast

recommendations in Table 5.

Use the broiler pan and insert, as well as the roasting rack (Figure 63) (some models). The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the insert will help prevent splatters. The roasting

rack will hold the meat.

• Do not use the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil.

• Always pull the rack out to the stop position before removing food.

• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack. Use a deep pan instead on rack position 1.

Setting Slow Cook

The Slow Cook feature cooks foods more slowly and at lower oven temperatures for longer periods of time. Slow Cook is ideal for roasting beef, pork, and poultry. Slow cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but will not burn the outside as it seals in the meat's juices.

Two Slow Cook settings are available: high (Hi) or low (Lo). The high setting is best for cooking foods between 4 and 5 hours. The low setting is best for cooking foods up to 9 hours or longer.

Tips for best results when using Slow Cook:

Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking. Place rack so food is in the center of the oven. Position racks

to accommodate the size of various bakeware 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 be extended.

• Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.

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

• Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.

• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of cooking.

• Use the recipe's recommended food temperature and a food thermometer to determine when the food is done.

To set Slow Cook:

Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let 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 refriger- ator 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.

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.

1. Position bakeware in oven and close oven door.

Press Upper Oven or Lower Oven.

Press Slow Cook. SLO and HI will appear in the display indi- cating the default temperature setting is for high (Figure 64).

Figure 64: SLO and HI appears in display

4. If a low setting is needed, press Slow Cook again. Lo will

appear in the display (Figure 65).

Important note:

• Slow Cook may be used with additional settings of Cook Time and Delay Start.

• The maximum cook time for Slow Cook function is 11 hours and 59 minutes unless the control has been changed to the

continuous bake mode.

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 can-

cellation.

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:

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:

Press Upper Oven or Lower Oven.

Press and hold Bake 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 (Figure 70).

Figure 70: UPO appearing in the display

To increase the temperature use the numeric keypad to enter the desired change. For example purposes, enter 30°F, which is 3 0 (Figure 71). The temperature may be increased as much as 35°F (19°C).

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.

Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your

oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.

Figure 71: Increasing temperature by 35°F

4. To decrease the temperature, use the numeric keypad to enter the desired change. For example purposes, enter - 30°F, which is 3 0 (Figure 72). Press Self Clean. The temper- ature may be decreased as much as -35°F (-19°C)

Figure 72: Decreasing temperature by 35°F

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans with very high temperatures well above normal cooking temperatures. The high temperature elim- inates 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.

This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the

rack becomes difficult to slide.

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.

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 73). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting

Self Clean.

Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 73). 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 73: 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):

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.

Press Upper Oven or Lower Oven.

Press Self Clean. CLEAN will flash and 3:00 will show in the display (Figure 74). 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 for 2 hours or 4 0 0 for a 4-hour clean 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.

Page 34

Oven Controls

Figure 74:3:00 showing in the display

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.

4. Press START. DOOR and LOCKED will flash. The CLEAN icon and letters CLn will remain in the display.

As soon as Self Clean becomes active, a motor driven lock mechanism will begin locking the oven door automatically. Once the door has been locked, DOOR and LOCKED will stop flashing and remain on. Also, the oven icon will appear in the display. Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door to

lock.

Important: If the optional delay Self-Cleaning cycle is desired, continue and finish these steps. But if Self Clean is started imme- diately, skip these remaining steps and continue to the When Self Clean is Finished-portion of these instructions.

6. Press Delay Start (Figure 75).

Figure 75: Display for using Delay Start with Self Clean

7. Enter the desired start time, using 4 3 0 (Figure 76).

Do not force the oven door open when self-

clean 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 1hour), 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 76: Entering Delay Start start time

8. Press START. CLEAN, DELAY, LOCKED, and DOOR will be displayed (Figure 77).

Figure 77: CLEAN, DELAY, LOCKED, and DOOR in display

9. 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.

Page 35

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.

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 ammonia- soaked 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.

For oven interior remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting Self Clean. 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 33.

Some ovens come with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this oil lubrication off the racks. It is important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of oil. To maintain optimal rack sliding performance, periodically apply a thin layer of food safe oil (mineral or vegetable oil) to the sides of the rack.

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)

Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See "Cleaning the Cooktop and Surface Burners" instructions on page 37.

Only use cleaners and polishes that are specifically manufactured for cleaning stainless steel. 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 lint-

free 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.

Page 37

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.

SCOURING

Figure 78: Do not use commercial cleaners

• Thoroughly dry burner caps immediately following cleaning

including the bottom and inside of cap.

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

• Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher.

• Do not operate surface burners without burner caps

properly in place. Read important notes.

Care & Cleaning

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.

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 79; round style shown; oval 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.

slots

Figure 79: Cooktop burner head

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.

lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down. To remove the oven door:

1. Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor - Figure 84).

2. Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door hinges down from the oven frame completely towards the oven door (Figure 85). A tool such as a small flat-blade screw- driver may be required.

3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides (Do not use the oven door handle - Figure 86).

Close the door to the broil stop position (the oven door will stop into this position just before fully closing).

5. With the oven door in the broil stop position, lift the oven door hinge arms over the roller pins located on each side of the oven frame (Figure 87).

To replace oven door:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides (Do not use the oven door handle - Figure 86).

2. Holding the oven door at the same angle as the removal position, seat the hook of the hinge arm over the roller pins located on each side of the oven door frame (Figure 87). The hook of the hinge arms must be fully seated onto the roller pins.

3. Fully open the oven door (horizontal with floor - Figure 84).
