The Anti-Tip Bracket

Tip Over Hazard A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed and engaged per installation instructions. Re-engage anti-tip bracket if range is moved. Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

To verify the anti-tip bracket is installed and engaged:

• Slide range forward.

• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor or wall.

• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

• See installation instructions for details.

WARNING

Anti-Tip Bracket

Range Foot

The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE 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 OR WALL, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.

■ WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to

heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

■ WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the

oven bottom or cover an entire 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 also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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 cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.

■ Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings –

Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

■ 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.

■ Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth

is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

■ 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.

■ 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. In Canada, the range must be electrically grounded in accordance with Canadian Electrical Code. Be sure the range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

■ Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the

appliance.

■ Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors

or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors or drawers.

■ Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free from

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

■ Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

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 – Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

■ When flambéing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Surface Temperatures

When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot, such as the knobs and oven door.

Baking Drawer (On Some Models)

When the oven is in use, the drawer may become hot. Do not store plastics, cloth, or other items that could melt or burn in the drawer.

Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Preheating

When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the proper position, the grates should be flush and level. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping or scratching of the cooktop.

To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with the indentations in the cooktop.

A. Bumpers

B. Alignment indentations

The surface grates interlock using the hook on one end of the grate and the indent on the other. To remove the grates, lift the rear of the left grate off the hook, and then lift the front of the right grate off the hook and pull apart. To replace the grates, replace the left grate first. Place the front indent of the right grate over the hook of the left grate, and then lift the rear of the left grate and place the indent over the hook on the right grate.

Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the gas flame.

Burner Size

Select a burner that best fits your cookware. See the following illustration and chart.

To Use the Griddle:

1. Locate the griddle on the right side grate, as shown. The

locating feet on the bottom of the griddle will engage the grate tines to keep the griddle from sliding.

2. Before each use, brush on a thin layer of cooking oil to keep

food from sticking. Cooking sprays may leave a sticky residue on the griddle that is hard to remove.

3. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes. Preheating the griddle

slowly will ensure even heat distribution and will avoid warping the griddle.

4. For preheating and cooking, set the front burner to the lowest

heat setting and the rear burner to medium-high heat for best performance.

NOTE: The griddle may also be used on the left side grate. For best results, the rear burner setting should be set to MediumLow or Medium, and the front burner setting should be set to Low.

To Clean the Griddle:

1. Let the griddle cool, and then empty the drip tray.

2. See the “General Cleaning” section for cleaning instructions.

3. Store griddle in a cool dry place.

Downdraft Ventilation System

The built-in downdraft ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.

IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, operate the downdraft ventilation system with the filter properly installed.

To avoid the buildup of grease, the filter should be cleaned often. For more information on proper filter placement and cleaning, see

“Downdraft Ventilation System” in the “General Cleaning” section.

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a wellfitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the surfaces.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.

Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

Cookware Characteristics

Copper ■ Heats very quickly and evenly.

■ May leave copper residues, which may

be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.

■ Can leave a permanent stain or bond to

the cooktop if overheated.

Earthenware ■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Use on low heat settings.

■ May scratch the cooktop.

Porcelain enamel-on-steel or cast iron

Stainless steel ■ Heats quickly, but unevenly.

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) outside the area.

■ See stainless steel or cast iron.

■ Porcelain enamel bakeware without the

metal base may bond to the cooktop if overheated.

■ A core or base of aluminum or copper

on stainless steel provides even heating.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

Cookware Characteristics

Aluminum ■ Heats quickly and evenly.

■ Suitable for all types of cooking.

■ Medium or heavy thickness is best for

most cooking tasks.

■ May leave aluminum residues, which

may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.

Cast iron ■ Heats slowly and evenly.

■ Good for browning and frying.

■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.

■ Rough edges or burrs may scratch the

cooktop.

Ceramic or Ceramic glass

■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Heats slowly, but unevenly.

■ Ideal results on low to medium heat

settings.

■ May scratch the cooktop.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

■ Center the canner on the grate above the burner.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural extension

office, or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

times or when it is heavily soiled. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to

the fumes given off by the oven. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.

For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5

cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that

no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

■ Position racks before turning on the oven.

■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.

■ Make sure racks are level.

To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.

The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following table.

Do not clean the roll-out rack in a dishwasher. It may remove the rack’s lubricant and affect its ability to slide.

See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.

Oven Vent

A. Oven vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Sabbath Mode

The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting until turned off.

When the Sabbath Mode is set, only the Bake cycle will operate. All other cooking and cleaning cycles are disabled. No tones will sound, and the displays will not indicate temperature changes.

When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not turn on or off, and the heating elements will not turn on or off immediately.

Baking and Roasting

Temperature Management System

The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Steam Bake

The Steam Bake function works in conjunction with the steam rack to provide additional moisture during baking. The steam rack contains a water reservoir which heats up and releases steam in to the oven cavity during the steam bake cycle. There are 3

preprogrammed food options to choose from: Breads, Desserts

and Fish, as well as a Refresh/Reheat option. For best performance, place the steam rack in the lowest available

rack position in the cavity and pour 1½ cups (350 the reservoir. Do not fill past the MAX level indicated on the reservoir.

After the steam bake cycle is complete, some water may remain in the reservoir. This is normal. Wait for the oven to cool and discard the water.

mL) of water into

A. Steam rack B. Water reservoir

Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.

IMPORTANT:

Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.

On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.

■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to

drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be

ordered. See the “Accessories” section.

Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

Convection Cooking

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.

During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil and convection elements cycle on and off in intervals while the fan circulates the hot air. During convection broiling, the broil and convection elements cycle on and off.

If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed.

With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature and/or a shorter cooking time than in a standard thermal oven. Depending upon the selected cooking mode, EasyConvect™ conversion can automatically reduce the standard recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking. If you choose not to use the EasyConvect™ conversion, use the following table as a guide.

Convection Mode Time/Temp. Guidelines

Convection Bake 25°F (15°C) lower temperature,

possible shortened cooking time

Convection Roast Cooking time shortened by up to 30%

Convection Broil Shortened cooking time

Convect Options

Convect Bake - Multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads, casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes.

Convect Roast - Whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork roasts, beef roasts.

Convect Broil - Thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish or poultry.

Proofing Bread

Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Proof should be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first and second rise.

To Proof:

Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place on rack guide 2 and close the oven door.

NOTE: If the temperature of the oven is greater than 120°F (49°C), “Oven Cooling” will be displayed until the temperature is less than 120°F (49°C).

1. Press PROOF.

2. Press START.

Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type and quantity.

3. Press CANCEL when finished proofing. Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking pan(s)

and cover loosely. Follow the same placement and control steps above. Before baking, remove the cover.

NOTE: If the oven temperature is greater than 120°F (49°C), the display will indicate “Oven Cooling” until the temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
