Important Safety Instructions

Important safety notice
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement

Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

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 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 m 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.

• 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.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the

fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF-
CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in

this Use & Care Manual. Before self-cleaning the oven,

remove the oven racks, broil pan, broil pan insert and
any cookware, cooking utensils or foods from the oven.

• 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.

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any

range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

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.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols _ Always follow the

manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be
aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols

may ignite causing damage and injury.

Removing, replacing and arranging oven racks

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when

using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and

exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot
which can cause burns.

Protective Liners m 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.

Types of oven racks

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 ).

Fig. 3

Before Setting Surface Controls

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

(Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

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.

Correct

flame setting

incorrect

flame setting

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.

Glass - Slow heat conductor.

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

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

cookware made from different materials.

Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

Fig. 2

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.

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.

The smaller cooktop SIMMER 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 CENTER burner. This burner is rated 10,000
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.

To set surface burners:

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 (Fig. 1).

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.

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 notes:

• 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. This
can cause uneven heating results.

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting
surface burners 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 push in
and turn knob to desired setting.

Setting Surface Controls

Setting Double Ring Burner (some models)

The versatile Double Ring surface burner offers a complete

range of gas surface settings from the same burner
position.

At the lowest setting, only the burner's inner ring is active,
providing a smaller flame that is perfect for simmering. If
needed, the burner's outer ring may be added and when

set for HI will provide a gas flame that may be used to
bring a large pan of liquid to boil quickly.

I_ 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.

I_ 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.

Operating the Double Ring Burner:

1. Push right front surface burner control knob in and turn
counterclockwise out of the OFF position -Fig. 1.

2. Release the knob and rotate to the Lite position.

3. Visually check that both inner and outer rings for the

Double Ring burner are lit (See Fig. 3).
Once lit, push in the control knob and to turn

counterclockwise out of the Lite position and adjust to
the desired flame size.

4. When adjusting for a low or simmer type flame setting,
continue to rotate the control knob counterclockwise

from MED setting towards LO (See Fig 2). Between the
MED and LO setting the flame for the outer ring portion
of the burner will turn off leaving only the inner burner

with a flame for simmering (See Fig. 4). Make any
further flame adjustments as needed.

Important notes:

• 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. This

can cause uneven heating results.

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting
surface burners 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 push in
and turn knob to desired setting.

• 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 m 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
Cony Bake, Cony Roast or Cony 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 stop rotating until the oven door is
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.

17

Setting Oven Controls

Cony 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 m 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
Cony Bake, Cony Roast or Cony 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 stop rotating until the oven door is

closed.

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°/0
complete. At this time the oven control will sound 1 long

beep at regular intervals until the set cook time has
finished.

Fig. 1

Example m To add Conv Convert to Conv Bake function
using default oven set temperature:

1. Press Cony Bake keypad.

2. Press Cony Convert keypad.
To cancel Conv Convert at anytime press sToP.

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).

Be aware that the suggested broil settings table (Fig. 2) are
recommendations only. Increase or decrease broiling times,
or move to a different oven rack position to suit for
doneness. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the

table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook
and watch the item closely.

Fig. 1

Example - To set Broil with the default broil oven
temperature of 550°F:

1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum
browning results, you may preheat oven for 5 minutes

before adding food.

2. Position cookware in oven. Close the oven door.

3. Press Broil key pad.

4. Press START.

5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and broil on

6. When finished broiling press stop.

To cancel Broil at anytime press stop.

Suggested broil settings table (gas oven)

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven
door and turn the oven OFF. If the fire continues, use a fire
extinguisher. 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 cooktop will become very hot which can

cause burns

Important notes:

• Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.

For best results when broiling, use a quality broil pan

along with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to
drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter and
reduce smoking.

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

position before turning or removing food.

• Cook Time or Delay Start will not operate with the Broil

function.

The Cakes Breads functions are designed to give optimum

baking performance for Cakes or Breads. These functions
work well for baking cakes, brownies, pies (fresh or frozen),

baked custards, cheesecakes, breads, rolls, biscuits, muffins
and cornbread.

The Cakes function provides a preheat with a gentle
cycling of heat giving cakes more volume and allowing
delicate foods to cook more evenly.

The Breads function adds a special preheat feature to the
bake cycle that thoroughly heats the oven from top to
bottom to give more evenly browned foods.

Example - To set the Cakes or Breads features:

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.

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 meat 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 ioint. 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).

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.

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 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.

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 Jeff uncovered so browning can occur.
Cook times will vary; depending on the weight, fat
content, bone & the shape of the roast.

Example m 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.

3. If a low setting is needed, press Slow Cook keypad
again to select the low setting.

4. Press STARTto activate Slow Cook.

To cancel Slow Cook at anytime press sToP.

Important notes:

• Slow Cook may be used with additional settings of Cook

Time and Delay Start.

• The maximum cook time for the Slow Cook is 11 hours

and 59 minutes unless the control has been changed to

the continuous Bake mode.

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

• 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.

Flex Clean

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
that are well above normal cooking temperatures. The high
cleaning temperature eliminates soils completely or reduces

them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away
afterwards with a damp cloth.

The Flex Clean function allows you to set any amount of
cleaning time from 2 hours to 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning
time is best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light

soils and a 4-hour clean time for heavier stubborn soils.

Read before starting Flex Clean

Be sure to read all the fallowing caution and important
statements BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle:

DO NOT leave small children unattended
near the appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the
outside of the range can become very hot to touch and can

cause burns.

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom
or any other part of the range 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.

• Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills 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 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.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). 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.

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

DO NOT force the oven door open. 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 notes:

• Completely remove all items and accessories from oven

cavity to avoid damage. Porcelain coated heavy duty

oven racks may be left in oven.

• Remove ALL items from the cooktop including cookware,

utensils and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. Aluminum foil will
not withstand high temperatures from a self-clean cycle

and can 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 (See Fig. 1). These areas heat
sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water

prior to starting Flex Clean (See Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

Setting Flex Clean

Example m To set Flex Clean to start immediately:

1. Be sure to remove ALL items from oven except porcelain
coated heavy duty oven racks. Remove all items from

the cooktop. Be sure oven door is completely closed.

2. Press Flex Clean keypad for a default 3-hour clean
time. After pressing Flex Clean you may accept the
default 3-hour clean time by going to step 3.

At this time you may choose a different clean time. The

amount of clean time must be within 2 to 4 hours and
entered using the numeric keys pads. For example enter

2 0 0 for a 2-hour time or enter 4 0 0 for a 4-hour self-
clean time. You may choose a 2 hour 15 minute clean
time by entering 2 15 (hours and minutes).

3. Press STARTto activate Flex Clean.

Flex Clean

As soon as Flex Clean becomes active, a motor driven
lock mechanism will begin locking the oven door
automatically, door Loc will appear in the display (See

Fig. 1). DO NOT open the oven door when door Loc is
displayed (allow 15 seconds for the lock mechanism to
lock the oven door).

Once the oven door has locked, CLn will appear in the
display indicating Flex Clean has started (Fig. 2).

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

Fig. 3 Fig. 4

When Flex Clean is finished:

1. CLn message will turn off and Hot will appear in display
window (See Fig. 3).

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

is no longer displayed the door OPn message will
appear (Fig. 4). When this message turns off the oven
door may be opened.

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.

3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe
away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth
or paper towel.

Important notes:

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open

window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the 1st

self-clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors
associated with the 1st self-clean cycle.

• 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.

Delayed Start Flex Clean

Example m To start a delay Flex Clean with default clean

time of 3 hours and a start time of 9:00 o'clock:

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

oven door is completely closed.

2. Press Delay Start keypad.

3. Using numeric keypad enter 9 0 0 for time to start.

4. Press STARTto accept.

5. Press Flex Clean keypad.

6. Press START.

If it becomes necessary to stop Flex Clean when active:

h Press STaP.

2. If Flex Clean has heated the oven to a high

temperature, allow enough time for the oven to cool

and for the door OPn message to appear (Fig. 4).
When this message turns OFF the oven door may be
opened.

3. Restart Flex Clean if needed.

Important notes:

• When Flex Clean function is active you may check the

amount of clean time remaining by pressing the Flex
Clean keypad once.

If your control is set with the default 12 hour display

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

control for 24 hour display mode.
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.

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

active.

Care & Cleaning

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.

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.

• Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher.

• Do not operate surface burners without burner caps

properly in place. Read important notes.

Fig. 1 - cooktop burner head

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.

Care & Cleaning

General cleaning

Refer to the Cleaning recommendation table in the Care &
Cleaning section for more detailed information about
cleaning specific parts of the 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 hat and can cause burns.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the

oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

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.

• 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.

Replacing oven lights

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts
are COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-
faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

The oven lights are located at the rear of the oven cavity
and are covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder.
The glass shield protects the light bulb and must be in
place whenever the oven is in use.

glass
shield

wire

holder

• 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 may be damaged or
destroyed.

To replace the interior oven light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug
the range.

2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield
that covers the light bulb.

3. Replace light with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder

back into place.

5. Turn power on at the main source (or plug the appliance

in).

6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see

Setting clock in this Use & Care Guide.

Care & Cleaning

Removing and replacing the lift-off oven door

To avoid possible injury when removing or
replacing the oven door, follow the instructions below carefully
and always hold the oven door with both hands positioned away

from the door hinge area.

required.

3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides (Do

not use the oven door handle - Fig. 3).

4. Close the door to the broil stop position (the oven door will stop

into this position just before fully closing).

Special door care instructions

Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Read the following
recommendations:

• Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in

place inside the oven cavity.

• Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.

• Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its

structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.
