ange Safety

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the

word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured

wDANGER

wWARNING

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

if you don’t follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,

electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• WARNING – TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.

• CAUTION – Do not store items of

interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range – children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

• Proper Installation – The range, when

installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

Be sure the range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

• This range is equipped with a

three-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding plug from this plug.

• Disconnect the electrical supply before

servicing the appliance.

• Never Use the Range for Warming or

Heating the Room.

Range Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children

should not be left alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors or drawers.

• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or

hanging garments should never be worn while using the range.

• User Servicing – Do not repair or replace

any part of the range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• Maintenance – Keep range area clear and

free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

• Storage in or on the Range – Flammable

materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires –

Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp

potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR

AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cook-top and surfaces facing the cook-top.

• Use Proper Pan Size – The range is

equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency. Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended

at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls

Are in Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

• 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.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain

types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned

Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

• Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot

air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers

– Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

• Placement of Oven Racks – Always

place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS

OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.

For self-cleaning ranges –

• 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.

• 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.

• Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.

• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven –

Remove broiler pan and other utensils. Wipe off all excessive spillage before initiating the cleaning cycle.

For units with ventilating hood –

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently –

sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

This section tells you how to operate the controls to the cooktop. It also discusses how the sealed gas burner cooktop works, and includes tips on how to cook with and maintain the cooktop.

Using the surface burners

Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with an auto-reignition system. The sealed burners spread the heat evenly across the bottom of the cookware and provide infinite heat control. The auto-reignition system senses when a burner flame has gone out and will automatically reignite that burner.

IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set

for use with Natural Gas. If you wish to use L.P. gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit is included with your new range. See the appropriate section of the Installation Instructions for details on making this conversion.

wWARNING

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard Do not operate with a yellow flame. Doing so can result in death,

heart attack, or convulsions.

How to use the surface burners

REAR

OFF

1. Grasp the control knob.

2. Push down and turn to HI. The electric

spark ignitor will ignite the gas flowing into the burner. When you hear a clicking sound, you know that the ignitors are working. Gas is flowing as long as knob is not set at OFF.

3. When the burner is lit, turn the control

knob to the desired flame setting. (See the guide under “Burner heat settings” later in this section.) You can turn the knobs to any of the marked settings. The ignitor will turn off and the clicking will stop when the burner ignites.

NOTES:

• The ignitors may click a number of times

before burner lights. This is normal.

• All four burner ignitors will spark

regardless of which burner you are using.

• Visually check that burner has lit. If the

burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If you do not hear the ignitor click, TURN THE BURNER OFF. Check that the service cord is placed firmly in the wall receptacle. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.

Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on valve shaft. If the

spark ignitor still fails to operate, call your nearest authorized KitchenAid servicing outlet.

Proper grounding and polarity is necessary for correct operation of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not provide correct polarity, the ignitor will become grounded and click every once in awhile, even after the burner has ignited. A qualified electrician should check the wall receptacle to see if it is wired with correct polarity.

wWARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can

result in death or fire.

Burner heat settings

Use correct burner heat settings (later in this section). If the heat setting is too high, it can:

• Char bacon and cause curling.

• Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.

• Toughen liver, fish, and seafood.

• Scorch delicate sauces and custards.

• Cause a boilover.

Page 13

U sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results,

start cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

SETTING

RECOMMENDED USE

• To start foods cooking.

• To bring liquids to a boil.

MED

• To hold a rapid boil.

• To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

• To keep food warm until

ready to serve.

In case of a prolonged power failure

Surface burners can be manually lighted.

1. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn

the control knob to the HI position.

REAR

OFF

2. After the burner lights, turn the

control knob to the desired setting.

Energy saving tips

Although the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your range:

• Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides,

and tight-fitting lids.

Cookware tips

• NOTE: For best results and greater fuel

efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cook-

ware in good condition.

• The pan should have straight sides and a

tight-fitting lid.

• Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are

full or empty.

• Pans should be easy to clean. Check to be

sure there are no crevices, rough edges, or areas where food might collect.

• Use cookware only as instructed in the

cookware’s user instructions. This is very important for glass cookware because some can be used only in the oven. Pans marked as flameware can be used on surface burners.

• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-

ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

• The pan material (metal or glass) affects

how fast heat transfers from the surface burner through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

• Handles should be made of sturdy,

heat-resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.

• Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to help

shorten cooking time.

• Start food on higher heat settings, then set

surface burner control on low to finish cooking.

• Turn on the surface burner only after

placing filled pan on the burner.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or

cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The cookware could overheat, causing damage to the cookware or surface burner.

Home canning information

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.

To protect your cooktop:

Center over

surface burner

• Use a canner/pan which can be cen-

tered over the surface burner. Large diameter canners/pans, if not properly centered, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.

• Do not place canner on two surface

burners at the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktop.

• Start with hot water. This reduces the

time the control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.

• Refer to your canner manual for specific

instructions.

Caring for your cooktop

Your cooktop is designed for easy care. You can do most cleaning with items found around the home. Cleaning your cooktop whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it looking and operating like new.

NOTES:

• Before cleaning make sure all controls

are off and the cooktop is cool.

• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion

and ventilation air.

• If knobs are removed while cleaning, be

careful not to spill liquids through holes in the control area.

• Be careful not to allow moisture to collect

in control area. Moisture could cause ignitor switches to fail.

Surface burners

• The burner caps should be routinely

removed and cleaned. Always clean burner caps after a spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean prevents improper ignition and an uneven flame.

• For proper flow of gas and ignition of the

burner, DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS, OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS TUBE OPENING.

• Occasionally check the burner flames for

proper size and shape as shown later in this section. A good flame is blue in color. If flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when turned off, you may need to clean the burners.

To clean burners and burner caps:

Burner cap

Ignitor

Gas tube

opening

(orifice)

1. Lift the burner cap straight up from the

burner base.

2. Clean burner cap with warm, soapy water

and a sponge. For stubborn stains, clean with a mildly abrasive plastic scrubbing pad and powdered cleanser. Do not clean burner cap in dishwasher.

3. If the gas tube opening or the orifice,

located inside the opening, has become soiled or clogged, use a cotton swab or a soft cloth to clean the area.

4. If ports are clogged, clean with a

straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort

port. Do not leave anything stuck in the ports.

5. After cleaning the gas tube opening and

ports, replace the burner cap. To replace burner cap, make sure cap is properly

aligned and leveled.

6. Check the burner after cleaning for

proper lighting.

NOTE: To check oven burner flames for

proper size and shape, see the Installation Instructions also included with the range.

Cooking tips

Baking tips

The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.

For best air circulation:

• Place the pans so that one is not directly

over the other.

• For best results, allow 11⁄2 to 2 inches

(3-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.

• When baking with one pan, place pan in

the center of the oven rack.

• When baking with two pans, place pans

in opposite corners of the oven rack.

NOTES:

•

“Oven peeking” may cause heat loss, longer cooking times, and unsatisfactory baking or roasting results. Rely on your timer.

• Do not allow pans to touch the heat

sensor on the left wall near the back. Poor baking may result.

• Do not use aluminum foil when baking.

Aluminum foil may block airflow.

Rack positions

No. 5 No. 4 No. 3 No. 2 No. 1

rack positions. Rack position 5 is the highest position, or farthest from the bottom of the oven. Rack position 1 is the lowest position, or closest to the bottom of the oven.

For proper cooking, follow these guidelines:

• When using one rack, place the rack

so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

• When using two racks, place one rack in

position 1 and the other rack in position 3.

• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at

a time when using the Bake setting.

Bakeware tips

• When baking with insulated cookie

sheets or baking pans, place them in the bottom third of the oven. You may need to increase the recommended baking times, so test for doneness before removing from the oven.

• When using ovenproof glassware or

dark bakeware, reduce the oven temperature by 25°F (16°C), but use the same baking time. Because these pans absorb heat, producing darker bottom browning and crispier crusts, place the rack in the center of the oven. When baking pies and bread, you can use the temperature suggested in the recipe.

Roasting tips

• Roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan

using a roasting rack.

• Use a roasting pan that fits the size of

the food to be roasted. Meat juices may overflow the sides of a pan that is too small. Too large of a pan will result in increased oven spatter.

• Spatter can be reduced by lining the

bottom of the roasting pan with lightly crushed aluminum foil.

• A foil tent will slow down surface brown-

ing for long-term roasting, as when roasting a turkey. Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat to allow for air circulation. Do not seal foil or meat will be steamed.

• Use an accurate meat thermometer to

determine when meat has reached desired degree of doneness. Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. For an accurate reading, the tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone, or gristle.

• After reading the thermometer once,

push it further into the meat 1⁄2 inch (1 cm) or more and read again. If the temperature drops, return the meat to the oven for more cooking.

• Check pork and poultry with a thermom-

eter in 2-3 places to ensure adequate doneness.

• Poultry and roasts will be easier to

carve if loosely covered with foil and allowed to stand 10-15 minutes after removal from the oven.

7. Completely close door.

NOTE: Do not try to broil with the door

open. The broil burner will not operate.

8. When broiling is done, turn off oven.

Variable temperature broiling

• If food is cooking too fast or you want

the food to broil slower from the start, set the broil temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 325°F (163°C). These temperature settings allow the broil burner to cycle and to slow cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.

Broiling tips

• Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling.

They are designed to drain excess liquid and grease away from the cooking surface to help prevent spatter or smoke.

• If you broil small quantities, you may

want to use a small broiler pan. They are available in the housewares section of many department stores.

• For best broiling results, preheat for

5 minutes. Do not preheat with broiler pan in place.

• Broiling rack position determines how

the burner cooks your food. The lower the position, the more broiler grid area covered. See the “Broiling chart” later in this section for more information.

• Fish and chicken are some foods that

may cook better if you use lower broiling temperatures.

• To sear meat, place broiler pan at one of

Timed cooking

The electronic clock/oven control will turn the oven on and off at times you set, even when you are not around.

Delayed time cooking is ideal for foods which do not require a preheated oven, such as meats and casseroles. Do not use

delayed time cooking for cakes, cookies, etc. – they will not rise properly. Before using timed cooking, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day.

(See the “Setting the clock” section.)

To start baking/roasting now and stop automatically:

1. Prepare oven.

Position the oven rack(s) properly and place the food in the oven. For correct rack placement, see “Rack positions” and “Rack placement” chart earlier in this section.

wWARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in death, food poisoning, or sickness.

2. Choose Bake setting.

3. Set temperature (optional).

sing the Self-Cleaning Cycle

The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, you operate the Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use electronic control. To use this cycle properly, follow the step-by-step instructions in this section.

wWARNING

Burn Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns,

or illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.

Before you start

• Remove the broiler pan and grid and

anything else being stored in the oven.

DO NOT hand-clean gasket

Hand-clean frame

Hand-clean door around edge

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:

• Hand-clean the areas shown. They do

not get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steelwool pad for cleaning.

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend

the gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting may result.

• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This

will help reduce smoke during the SelfCleaning cycle.

• Wipe up food spills containing sugar as

soon as possible after the oven cools down. When sugar is heated to a high temperature in the Self-Cleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain. This can cause staining and etching or pitting.

• Remove the oven racks from the oven if

you want them to remain shiny. You can clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will discolor and become harder to slide. If you clean racks in the SelfCleaning cycle, place them on the rack guides.

• Heat and odors are normal during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.

Page 47

Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle

NOTES:

• Do not block the oven vent during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.

• Do not leave plastic utensils on the cook-

top. They may melt.

• Do not leave any foil in oven during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

• The oven light will not work during the

Self-Cleaning cycle.

Protective shield around ignitor

• Do not insert any object into the opening

of the protective shield that surrounds the ignitor. Also, do not clean this area. Doing either could result in product damage.

• Do not use your cooktop during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Using your cooktop will turn the cycle off.

Before setting the controls

•Make sure clock is set to correct

time of day.

•Make sure the oven door is com-

pletely closed.

Setting the controls

1. Press Clean pad.

Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle

To stop the self-cleaning cycle at any time:

For best cleaning results

• After the oven cools to room tempera-

ture, wipe up any residue or ash with a damp cloth or sponge. If any spots remain, clean with a mild abrasive cleanser or cleaning sponge.

• Clean the oven before it gets heavily

soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

How the cycle works

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.

Your oven is preset for a 31⁄2-hour SelfCleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven. You can set the cycle anywhere between 21⁄2 and 41⁄2 hours. (See “Setting the controls” earlier in this section.)

The graph at the right is representative of a normal, 31⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note that the heating stops after 3 hours, but it takes longer for the oven to cool enough to unlock the door.

roubleshooting

Most cooking problems often are caused by little things you can find and fix without tools of any kind. Check the lists below and on the next two pages before calling for assistance or service. If you still need help, see “Requesting Assistance or Service” on page 54.

If nothing operates, check the following:

Is the range plugged or wired into a live outlet or circuit with the proper voltage? (See Installation Instructions.)

▼

Have you blown a household fuse or tripped a circuit breaker?

▼

Have you set the control knob or electronic control correctly?

▼

Is the range properly connected to gas supply? Contact an authorized servicing outlet to reconnect range to gas supply. (See Installation Instructions.)

▼

Is the flow of combustion and/or ventilation air to the cooktop blocked?

Troubleshooting

Other possible problems and their causes:

PROBLEM The oven will not

operate

Burner fails to light

Burner flames are uneven

Burner flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when turned off

Burner makes popping noise when on

Burners spark

CAUSE

• You have not set the electronic control correctly. Refer to

the section in this manual describing the function you are operating.

• You have programmed a delayed start time. Wait for the

start time to be reached or cancel and reset the control.

• The range is not plugged or wired into a live outlet or circuit

with the proper voltage. (See Installation Instructions.)

• You have blown a household fuse or tripped a circuit

breaker. In case of prolonged power failure, manually light burners (see page 13).

• The burner ports are clogged. Clean with a straight pin

(see page 15).

• The burner ports are clogged. Clean with a straight pin

(see page 15). If this fails, call for service.

• The air/gas mixture is incorrect. Contact a service techni-

cian to check it.

• The burner is wet from washing. Let dry.

• It is normal for all four burners to spark briefly when:

– A burner is turned on, but has not yet ignited. – There is a draft blowing on burners. – A very large pot on burner causes flame to be unstable.

No action is needed. Burner operation is not affected and the sparking should end when the ignited flame is burning undisturbed.

• Continuous sparking may be caused when:

– A spillover has wet ignition switch contacts. Turn on one

or two burners or disconnect electrical supply to let switch dry out.

– There is a faulty spark module. Contact a service

technician to replace module.

– The wall outlet wiring is incorrect. Contact a qualified

electrician to correct wiring, if needed.

Cooling fan runs during Bake or Broil

• It is normal for the fan to automatically run during Bake

or Broil to cool the electronic control.

Page 53

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM The control knob(s) will

not turn The Self-Cleaning cycle

will not operate

Cooking results are not what you expected

The display is showing “PF”

A letter followed by a number shows on the display (for example

“E3”, “F1”)

The key pads do not operate

CAUSE

• You are not pushing in before turning.

• You have programmed a delayed start time. Wait for the

start time to be reached or cancel and reset the control.

• The cooling fan is not running. If fan is running, you can

hear it. Call a service technician for repair.

• The range is not level. (See Installation Instructions.)

• The oven temperature seems too low or too high. See

“Adjusting oven temperature” on page 35 to adjust oven temperature.

• You did not preheat the oven before baking (if called for

in recipe).

• You are using a pan that is not the correct type or size.

Refer to a reliable cookbook or recipe for recommended pan type and size.

• There is not enough air space around pan when baking.

Allow 11⁄2 to 2 inches (3 to 5 cm) of air space on all sides of pan.

• The cookware is too large or too small for the surface

burner being used. Pan should be the same size or slightly larger than the surface burner being used.

• The flame is not the correct size for the cookware

being used.

• There has been a power failure. Reset the clock.

(See page 27.)

• Press CANCEL/OFF. If the code does not disappear,

call for service. (See Step 2 on page 54.)

• The power cord is not properly grounded.

(See Installation Instructions.)

• The Control Lock has been set. (See “Using the control

lock” on page 23.) Turn off the Control Lock by pressing and holding the Control Lock pad (Number Pad 3) for 5 seconds.

• The Sabbath mode has been set (“SAb” appears on the

display). Turn off the Sabbath mode by opening the oven door, waiting up to 15 seconds and pressing and holding Number Pad 6 for 5 seconds.

• The range is not grounded. (See Installation Instructions.)
