Child Safety
CAUTION
NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets
above an appliance or on backguard of a range.
Children climbing on the appliance door to reach items
could be seriously injured.
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance as they could be injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in
it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of
reach of small children. Children should be taught that an
appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to
play with controls or other parts of the unit.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from
the vent might ignite flammable items and may increase
pressure in closed containers which could cause them to
burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their
use or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away
from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may melt
or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted surface
burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited to
items which are used infrequently and which can be safely
stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance.

cookie sheet.
About Your Appliance
WARNING
NEVER use appliance door as a step stool or seat as this
may result in possible tipping of the appliance and
serious injuries.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the oven.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover the entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil may also trap heat causing a fire hazard.
NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes.
Doing so restricts air to the burners and may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Do not use the cooktop or oven as a storage area for food
or cooking utensils.
The oven vent is located at the base of the control panel.
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for
several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause
burns. After oven is turned off, do not touch oven vent or
surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
• Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
Other potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, areas facing
the cooktop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent opening,
oven door, areas around the oven door and oven window.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the
bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power
to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical
shock.

Cooking Safety
Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it
on. Be sure you know which knob controls which
surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned
on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is
completed, turn burner off before removing pan to
prevent exposure to burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not
extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage
the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended
especially when using a high heat setting or when deep
fat frying. Boilovers can cause smoking and greasy
spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as
possible. Do not use high heat for extended cooking
operations.
NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface
burner or in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause
container to burst, resulting in serious personal injury or
damage to the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause
burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes
should never be used as potholders because they can
trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught
on appliance parts.
Always allow quantities of hot fat used for deep fat
frying cool before attempting to move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan.
Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the
hood turn the fan on.
NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or
loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking.
Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.
Always place oven racks in the desired positions while
oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food,
using dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching into
the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be
moved while hot, use a dry, sturdy potholder. Always
turn the oven off at the end of cooking.
Use racks only in the oven in which they were shipped/
purchased.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before moving or replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food
manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food
container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food
and its container. The food could be contaminated.
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven
bottom. This could result in risk of personal electric shock,
fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed
in this guide.
Utensil Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped,
easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using
pans (especially small pans) with heavy handles, as they
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to
move when filled with food may also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food
and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in
deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume
of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of
fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do
not extend handles over adjacent surface burners. Always
turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance,
not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached
by small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil
and the appliance.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using oven
cooking bags.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage
without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when
using glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance
using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically recommended in this
guide. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units,
stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The
use of devices or accessories that are not expressly
recommended in this manual can create serious safety
hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the
life of the components of the appliance.
Cleaning Safety
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool
before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the
burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam
burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.

Self-Clean Oven (select models)
CAUTION
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven
racks, broiler pan, food and any other utensils. Wipe
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups.
Clean only parts listed in this guide. 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 of any kind in or
around any part of the self-clean oven.
It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot
during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the
cooktop during a clean cycle should be avoided.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the
burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some
of the listed substances, including benzene,
formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels.
Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these substances can also be
minimized by properly venting the burners to the
outdoors.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when
the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may
be some low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by properly venting
the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/
or door in the room where the appliance is located
during the self-clean cycle.
Important Safety Notice and
Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposures to such substances.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS:
Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where
the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a
very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during
an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to
birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat,
margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be
equally harmful.

Care & Cleaning
Self-Clean Oven (select models)
Important: For manual clean oven, see page 7.
CAUTION
• It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during a
self-clean cycle.
• To prevent personal injury and damage to the oven door
do not attempt to open door when “LOCK” is displayed.
• Avoid touching cooktop, door, window or oven vent area
during a clean cycle.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish
or around any part of the oven. They will damage the
finish or parts.
The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures
to automatically clean the oven interior. Do not force the oven
door or lock lever open. This may result in exposure to high
temperatures and be a burn hazard.
The oven should be cleaned regularly by wiping up spillovers
to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups. Do not allow a

Troubleshooting
For most concerns, try these first.
• Check if oven controls have been properly set.
• Check to be sure plug is securely inserted into receptacle.
• Check or reset circuit breaker. Check or replace fuse.
• Check power supply.
Surface burner fails to light.
• Check to be sure unit is properly connected to power
supply.
• Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit
breaker.
• Check to be sure ignitor is dry and clicking. Burner will not
light if ignitor is damaged, soiled or wet. If ignitor doesn’t
click, turn control knob OFF.
The flame is uneven.
• Burner ports may be clogged.
Surface burner flame lifts off ports.
• Check to be sure a pan is sitting on the grate above.
Baking results are not as expected or differ from
previous oven.
• Check the oven temperature selected. Make sure oven is
preheated when recipe or directions recommend preheat.
• Make sure the oven vent has not been blocked. See page
18 for location.
• Check to make sure range is level.
• Temperatures often vary between a new oven and an old
one. As ovens age, the oven temperature often “drifts” and
may become hotter or cooler. See pages 17-18 for
instructions on adjusting the oven temperature (select
models).
Important: It is not recommended to adjust the
temperature if only one or two recipes are in question.
• Use correct pan. Dark pans produce dark browning. Shiny
pans produce light browning.
• Check rack positions and pan placement. Stagger pans
when using two racks. Allow 1-2 inches between pans and
oven wall.
• Check the use of foil in the oven. Never use foil to cover an
entire oven rack. Place a small piece of foil on the rack
below the pan to catch spillovers.
Food is not broiling properly or smokes excessively.
• Check oven rack positions. Food may be too close to flame.
• Aluminum foil was incorrectly used. Never line the broiler
insert with foil.
• Trim excess fat from meat before broiling.
• A soiled broiler pan was used.
• Preheat oven for 2-3 minutes before placing food in the
oven.
• Broil with the oven door closed.
Oven will not self-clean. (select models)
• Check to make sure the cycle is not set for a delayed start.
See page 5.
• Check if door is closed.
• Check if control is in Sabbath Mode. See page 17.
• Oven may be over 400° F. Oven temperature must be below
400° F to program a clean cycle.
Oven did not clean properly. (select models)
• Longer cleaning time may be needed.
• Excessive spillovers, especially sugary and/or acidic foods,
were not removed prior to the self-clean cycle.
Oven door will not unlock after self-clean cycle
(select models).
• Oven interior is still hot. Allow about one hour for the oven
to cool after the completion of a self-clean cycle. The door
can be opened when “LOCK” is not displayed.
• The control and door may be locked. See pages 5 and 14
to unlock.
Moisture collects on oven window or steam comes from
oven vent.
• This is normal when cooking foods high in moisture.
• Excessive moisture was used when cleaning the window.
There is a strong odor or light smoke when oven is
turned on.
• This is normal for a new range and will disappear after a
few uses. Initiating a clean cycle will “burn off” the odors
more quickly.
• Turning on a ventilation fan will help remove the smoke
and/or odor.
• Excessive food soils on the oven bottom. Use a self-clean
cycle.
Fault Codes (select models).
• BAKE or LOCK may flash rapidly in the display to alert you
if there is an error or a problem. If BAKE or LOCK appear in
the display, press the CANCEL pad. If BAKE or LOCK
continue to flash, disconnect power to the appliance. Wait
a few minutes, and then reconnect power. If the flashing
still continues, disconnect power to the appliance and call
an authorized servicer.
• If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive flareups may result in
a fault code during cleaning. Press the CANCEL pad and
allow the oven to cool completely, wipe out excess soil, then
reset the clean cycle. If the fault code reappears, contact an
authorized servicer.
Noises may be heard.
• The oven makes several low level noises. You may hear the
oven relays as they go on and off. This is normal.
• As the oven heats and cools, you may hear sounds of metal
parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage your appliance.
There are no beeps and no display.
• Oven may be in Sabbath Mode. See page 17.
“SAb” flashing and then displayed continuously.
• Oven is in Sabbath Mode. To cancel, press and hold the
Clock pad for five seconds.

Surface Cooking
Surface Controls
CAUTION
• If flame should go out during a cooking operation, turn
the burner off. If a strong gas odor is detected, open a
window and wait five minutes before relighting the
burner.
• Be sure all surface controls are set in the OFF position
before supplying gas to the range.
• NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some
parts of the cooktop, especially around the burners, to
become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to
protect hands.
Pilotless Ignition
Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a constant standing
pilot light. There are two ignitors for conventional surface
burners. Each sealed burner has a spark ignitor. When
cleaning around the surface burner, use care. If cleaning cloth
should catch the ignitor, it could
damage it preventing ignition.
If the surface burner
does not light, check
if ignitor is broken,
soiled or wet. If
clogged, clean
the small port beneath the
ignitor using a straight pin.

IGNITOR
Setting the controls:
The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting.
1. Place a pan on the burner grate.
• The burner flame may lift off or appear separated from
the port if a pan is not placed on the grate.
2. Push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to the LITE
setting.
• A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner
will light. (All four ignitors will spark when any surface
burner knob is turned to the LITE position.)
3. After the burner lights, turn knob to desired flame size.
• The ignitor will continue to spark until the knob is
turned past the LITE position.
Operating During a
Power Failure
CAUTION
When lighting the surface burners, be sure all of the
controls are in the OFF position. Strike the match first and
hold it in position before turning the knob to LITE.
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to LITE.
3. Once lit, adjust the flame to the desired level.
Surface Control Knobs
Use to turn on the surface burners. An infinite choice of heat
settings is available from LO to HI. At the HI setting a detent
or notch may be felt. The knobs can be set on or between any
of the settings.
Graphics next to the knob identify which burner the
knob controls. For example, the graphic at left shows
the left front burner location.
HI: Use to bring liquid to a boil, or
reach pressure in a pressure cooker.
Always reduce setting to a lower heat
when liquids begin to boil or foods
begin to cook.
MED: An intermediate flame size is
used to continue cooking. Food will
not cook any faster when a higher
flame setting is used than needed to maintain a gentle boil.
Water boils at the same temperature whether boiling gently or
vigorously.
LO: Use to simmer foods, keep foods warm and melt
chocolate or butter. Some cooking may take place on the
LO setting if the pan is covered.
Cooktop
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring
or staining:
• Clean cooktop after each use.
• Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon
as the cooktop has cooled as these spills
may discolor the porcelain.
Unlike a range with standard gas burners,
this cooktop does not lift-up nor is it
removable. Do not attempt to lift the
cooktop for any reason.
Sealed Burners
The sealed burners of your range are secured to the cooktop
and are not designed to be removed. Since the burners are
sealed into the cooktop, boilovers or spills will not seep
underneath the cooktop. However, the burner should be
cleaned after each use. (See page 6 for cleaning directions.)
10
High Performance Burner
(12,000 BTU*)
There is one high speed burner on your range, located in the
right front position. This burner offers higher speed cooking
that can be used to quickly bring water to a boil and for largequantity cooking.
Drip Pans - Optional
Removeable porcelain covered drip pans are available for use
with this appliance to help contain spills. Call 1-800-688-8408
to order.
Simmer Burner
This burner is located in the left rear position. The simmer
burner offers a lower BTU* flame for delicate sauces or for
melting chocolate.
* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.
Burner Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking.
Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping of
the cooktop.
Do not operate the burners without a pan on the
grate.
The grate’s porcelain finish may chip without
a pan to absorb the heat from the burner
flame.
Although the burner grates are durable, they will
gradually lose their shine and/or discolor due to
the high temperatures of the gas flame.
Notes:
• A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light
within a few seconds. If using natural gas, the flame will
be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.
If the burner flame is yellow or is noisy, the air/gas
mixture may be incorrect. Contact a service technician to
adjust. (Adjustments are not covered by the warranty.)
With LP gas, slight yellow tips on the flames are
acceptable. This is normal and adjustment is not
necessary.
• With some types of gas, you may hear a “popping”
sound when the surface burner is turned off. This is a
normal operating sound of the burner.
• If the control knob is turned very quickly from HI to LO,
the flame may go out, particularly if the burner is cold. If
this occurs, turn the knob to the OFF position, wait
several seconds and relight the burner.
• The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the pan.

LO broil (450° F) for low-temperature broiling of longer
cooking foods such as poultry.
3. After four seconds, the oven will start.
• “BROIL” will remain lit.

longer cooking foods. The lower temperature allows
food to cook to the well done stage without excessive
browning.
• Broil times may be longer when the lower broiling
temperature is selected.
• Food should be turned halfway through broiling time.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the
factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning
differences between a new oven and an old one. As ranges
get older, the oven temperature can shift.
You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is
not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the temperature 25° higher or
lower than your recipe recommends, then bake. The results
of the “test” should give you an idea of how much to adjust
the temperature.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1. Press Bake.
17
2. Enter 550° by pressing the More+ pad.
3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several
seconds or until 0° appears in the display.
If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the
change will be displayed. For example, if the oven temperature was reduced by 15° the display will show “-15°”.
4. Press the More+ or Less- pad to adjust the temperature.
Each time a pad is pressed, the temperature changes by
5°. The oven temperature can be increased or decreased
by 5° to 35°.
5. The time of day will automatically reappear in the display.
You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there
is a power failure or interruption. Broiling and cleaning
temperatures cannot be adjusted.
Pilotless Ignition
Your range is equipped with pilotless ignition. With this type of
ignition system, the gas automatically shuts off and the oven
will not operate during a power failure.
A lighted match will not light the oven burner. No attempt
should be made to operate the oven during a power
failure.
Oven Vent
When the oven is in use, the area near the vent may become
hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.
The oven vent is located below the backguard vent shield
on your range.
OVEN VENT
LOCATION
Do not place
plastics near the
vent opening as
heat from the vent
could distort or
melt the plastic.
Oven Light
Press the Oven Light switch to turn the oven light on
and off.
Your oven has two racks. They are designed with a lock-stop
edge.
To remove:
1. Pull rack straight out until it
stops at the lock-stop position.
2. Lift up on the front of the rack
and pull out.
To replace:
1. Place rack on the rack support in the oven.
2. Tilt the front end up slightly. Slide rack back until it clears
the lock-stop position.
3. Lower front and slide back into the oven.
Do not cover an entire rack with aluminum foil or place
foil on the oven bottom. Baking results will be affected
and damage may occur to the oven bottom.
Rack Positions
RACK 5 (highest
position): Used for
toasting bread or
broiling thin, non-fatty
foods.
RACK 4: Used for most
two-rack baking.
RACK 3: Used for most
baked goods on a
cookie sheet or jelly roll pan, layer cakes, fruit pies, or frozen
convenience foods.
RACK 2: Used for roasting small cuts of meat, casseroles,
baking loaves of bread, bundt cakes, custard pies or two-rack
baking.
RACK 1: Used for roasting large cuts of meat and poultry,
frozen pies, dessert souffles, angel
food cake, or two-rack baking.
ROASTING POSITION:
Used for roasting taller cuts of meat
or turkey. Place both oven racks, one
above the other, on the raised sides
of the oven bottom.
CAUTION
Oven Bottom
Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or
sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use
the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Never
place utensils or foil directly on the oven bottom.
Oven Racks
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven
is hot.
• Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.
Do not attempt to slide racks out when they are placed in the
roasting position.
MULTIPLE RACK COOKING:
Two rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4, or 1 and 4.
Important: Never place pans directly on the oven bottom.
Half Rack Accessory
A half rack is available as an accessory
to increase oven capacity. It fits in the
upper left portion of the oven and
provides space for a vegetable dish
when a large roaster is on the lower
rack. Contact your dealer for the
“HALFRACK” Accessory Kit or call
1-800-688-8408.
