Important Safety Instructions

• Do Not Leave Children Alone--Children should not be left

alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use.

They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS OR WARMER ZONE,
AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface and oven

burners may be hot even though flames are not visible. Areas
near surface burners 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 window.

• Wear Proper Apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let
clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother the
fire with e pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease
may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let

potholders touch hot heating burners. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be

stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT--ELECTRIC IGNITION MODELS ONLY: Do not

attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power
fails, always turn off the oven. If the oven is not turned off and

the power resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Once
the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP

Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size so

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

• Know which knob controls each surface 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 net extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Burners--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition

of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface

burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this

manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk

of electric shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to sudden
change in temperatures. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cooktop use.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer--
Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot

oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or

replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is
located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this

area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns.
Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near
the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and

grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let

potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven.
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan

and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed

fat and grease could ignite.

• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance
has not been used for an extended period of time, be certain

the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at

least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top--If cook top should break,

cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified

technician immediately.

• Clean Cook Top with Caution--If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a

steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease

that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area

underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to

accumulate. Refer to the range manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning.

• 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.

Important Safety Instructions

SELF CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this
Use & Care Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the

broiler pan and any 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

It is very important to make sure that all of the Surface Burner Heads,
Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates are installed correctly

and at the correct locations.

1. Place all 4 Burner Heads in the correct locations (See Fig. 1). Make
sure that the correct Burner Head is placed with the corresponding

Orifice Holder and that the Electrode is located properly in the slot of

each Burner Head (See Fig. 2). Proper Burner Head placement
insures that each Burner will have the correct spark required for
surface gas ignition.

2. Place the correct Burner Caps at each of the burner locations (Burner
Cap Pilot Hole must face up). Each of the 4 (four) Burner Heads
MUST have a Burner Cap installed to insure proper ignition and gas

flame size and must be in place with the Pilot Hole facing up

BEFORE placing the Burner Grates (See Fig. 2).

3. Place the 2 (two) cast iron Burner Grates supplied with the range.
Carefully line-up the 2 Grate Pins on each Grate with the Cap Pilot
Holes in the 2 Burner Caps on each side of the range. DO NOT force

the Burner Grates onto the Burner Caps. Forcing the grates down
onto improperly installed Burner Heads and Burner Caps may damage
the gas burners. Each Burner Cap is designed with a Cap Pilot Hole

in the top center of the Cap. Visually check that ALL the Grate Pins
line up into the Burner Cap Pilot Holes (See Figure 2). Properly
installed Burner Grates will rest with all four Grate legs on the glass

cooktop.

REMEMBER -- DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS

OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER

OPENING. Always keep the Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place

whenever the surface burners are in use.

Control Locations of the Gas Surface

Burners

Your range is equipped with gas surface burners
with 4 different BTU ratings. The ability to heat
food quicker and in larger volumes increases as

the burner size increases.

The smaller SIMMER burner is best used for
simmering delicate sauces, etc. This burner is

located at the right rear burner position on the

cooktop (See Fig. 1).

The STANDARD burner can be used for most
surface cooking needs. This burner is located at

the left front burner position on the cooktop (See

Fig. 1).

The larger 2 POWER burners are best used for
bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to
temperature or when preparing larger quantities of

food. The two POWER Burners are located at the

left rear and right front burner positions on the

cooktop (See Fig. 1).

FEATURE OVERVIEW

• Setting Proper Flame Size

• Using the Wok Stand

a

Correct

W

u

Incorrect

Never extend the flame beyond the

outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases the risk of being burned

by the gas fame.

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

For most cooking - start on the highest control setting and then turn to a

lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a
guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size
and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the

setting needed.

*Flame Size

High Flame

Medium Flame

Low Flame

Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

For deep fat frying - use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If
the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be

undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food
will neither brown nor cook properly.

*Note: Settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum

pans, Settings may vary when using other types of pans. The color of the

flame isthe 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.

Using the Wok Stand

The Wok Stand provided with your range is designed to allow round-bottomed
woks to be used. It is recommended that you use a 14 inch diameter (35.5
em) Wok. The Wok Stand MUST be used on either the right or left FRONT
burner positions. Cooking with a Wok using the Wok Stand on the rear burner
positions may damage the control panel of the range. And it is recommended
that you use the right front POWER burner for best performance. If properly
positioned, the Wok Stand will not slide off the grate.

To Properly Position the Wok Stand:
With the grate in position over the burner, set the Wok Stand on top of the

grate positioning the angled notch in the Wok Stand towards the rear of the

range (See Fig 1). Turn the Wok Stand, as shown, until the grate fingers fit into

the slots on the bottom of the stand (See Fig. 2).

Always use potholders to

remove the wok stand from the grate.

Allow the wok stand to cool before

removing. Do not set hot wok stand on

surfaces that cannot withstand high

heat; such as countertops.

Be sure the Wok Stand

ispositioned correctly and stable before
use to prevent hot spills and possible

burns.

Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone

The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use
the warmer zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups,

stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. It is not
recommended to heat cold food on the Warmer Zone.

All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain
quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an

opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may
melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.

Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the
WarmerZone.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer

zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

To Set the Warmer Zone Control:

1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The temperatures are approximate, and
are designated by HI, MED and LO. However, the control can be set at any position
between HI and LO for different levels of heating.

2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The Warmer Zone Hot Surface indicator light will
remain on until the Warmer Zone cools to a moderate level (See Figs. 1 and 2).

Figure 1

Tem peratu re Selection f_,_

Refer to the Warmer Zone table for recommended heating levels (Fig. 3). If a particular food {j_

is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at
serving temperatures by using the medium level.

The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to

cause burns. Avoid placing hands on or near the Warmer Zone until the Warmer Zone Hot

Air Circulation in the Oven

If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple
racks, stagger cookware as shown.

For best air circulation and 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. The hot air must circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to

reach around the food.

Arranging Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Drawer Rack Positions

The rack can be used in 2 ways:

• In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on
top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish

undemeath).

• In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty
dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Set the Warmer Drawer Rack in either position as shown below (Fig. 1).

Operating the Warmer Drawer

The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold

food in the Warmer Drawer. All food placed in the Warmer Drawer should be
covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic

wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult
to clean. Use only utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the

Warmer Drawer.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from

the Warmer Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.

To Set the Warmer Drawer Control:

The control is used to select the temperature of the Warmer Drawer. It is

located on the control panel. To set the control, push in and turn the knob to

the desired setting. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by

HI (high), MED (medium) and LO (low).

1. Turn the knob to select the desired temperature setting.

2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer
will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.

3. When done, turn the control to OFF.

Temperature Selection

Recommended Warmer Drawer settings table is shown in Figure 3. If a
particular food is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more crispness is
desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept
at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are
to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the HI
setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open the Warmer Drawer while in use.

Warmer Drawer Indicator Light

The Warmer Drawer indicator light is located above the Warmer Drawer control

knob (See Fig.2). It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the
control isturned off. The Warmer Drawer is inoperable during the Self-

Clean cycle.

Roasting Instructions for Meat Pad

When using the Meat pad for roasting, use the broiler pan and insert along with the

roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert will help prevent

grease spatters. The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the meat.

To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease

spattering, DO NOT use the roasting rack when broiling.

1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom rack position. See Arranging
Oven Racks in the Before Setting Oven Controls section.

2. Place the insert in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the insert allowing the
heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase

browning on the underside. Make sure the roasting rack issecurely seated on the

insert inthe broiler pan. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert or cover the
insert with aluminum foil.

3. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack (See Fig. 5).

4. Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.

Setting Convection Bake

Benefits of Convection Bake:

--Some foods cook up to 30% faster,
saving time and energy.

--Multiple rack baking.

--No special pans or bakeware needed.

The CONVECTION BAKE _ pad controls the Convection Bake feature.

Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven

can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 300 ° F

(149 ° C) to 550 ° F (288 ° C).

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and
continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution
allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking

results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown
more evenly. Most foods cooked in a standard oven will cook faster and more

evenly with Convection Bake.

When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal cooking times as shown on page 37. Adjust the cook time for
desired aloneness as needed. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked.

Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around
the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.

Preheating isnot necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.

When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place
the oven racks in positions 1,3 and 5 (for 3 racks) and positions 2 and 4 (for 2 racks; See Fig. 2).

Cakes have better results when baked with the Cake pad inthe Food Categories feature.

Oven Cleaning

FEATURE

OVERVIEW

• Preparing for the Self-

Clean Cycle

The health

of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes

given off during the self-
cleaning cycle of any

range. Move birdsto

another well-ventilated

room.

Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle:

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures which eliminate soil completely or
reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. These temperatures
are well above normal cooking temperatures.

1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue after the self-
clean cycle.

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the
self-cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the
gasket.

• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause
damage.

2,

Remove the Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Broiler Pan Insert, all utensils and any

aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

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
surface of the oven).

,

Oven racks should be removed, or else their finish will dull and their color turn slightly
blue. If they do go through the self-clean cycle, wait until the oven has cooled, then
remove the racks and rub their sides with wax paper or a cloth containing a small
amount of baby or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier back into their
positions).

4,

Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning cycle.
To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or
fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the
small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn
soil on. Clean with soap and water.

If at any time when setting the oven for the Self-Cleaning
feature, the oven control continuously beeps and the display
shows "dr"; close the oven door (See Figure 1).

To Start the Self-Clean Cycle

The CLEAN (_ pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean
cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour.

So to self-clean for 3 hours will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
*It is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for

heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).

During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave

small children unattended near the appliance; they may be burned ifthey touch the hot oven door surfaces.

General Care & Cleaning

FEATURE OVERVIEW

• Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance

• Cleaning Recommendations for Ceramic Glass Cooktops

Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme (P/N 22-40079) to the

ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge

(see instructions below). This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream
leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can
cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should
be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the
cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent ifnot
removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms
can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything
metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a
cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods
directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or
hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

_'IVA'hJ.'i_II_[el DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue

Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly,
leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a 3M Scotch-Brite®

Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the sponge you use to clean the

cooktop for any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade
scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove
loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

_lrt_"_'_l"J"_'_ Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if

you use any scrub pad other than a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-

Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or

melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such

as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed

immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor

blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from
the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use
the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Overt electronic control beeps and
displays "F1, F2, F3" or "F9".

This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among the many
features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors the

internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating
correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop the
current operation and beep continuously (flashing an error code of "F1, F2, F3" or "F9" in
the controller display window.

stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault remains, record fault number. Press CLEAR/OFF

and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® (See back cover).
The oven control will only accept correct responses and/or the minimum number of

allowable entries for the appropriate feature. The oven control is designed to prevent
accidental entries. Review the instructions in this Use & Care Guide for the feature you are

trying to use. Also review the minimum and maximum temperature entries for the feature
you are trying to set on page 14 in this Use & Care Guide.

Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is being used. Center
food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the
set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended

temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is cooking too hot or cool. See "Adjusting
the Oven Temperature" in this Use & Care Guide.
