General Instructions

WARNING

• ALL RANGES CAN TIP AND CAUSE INJURIES TO PERSONS

•INSTALL ANTI-TIP DEVICE PACKED WITH RANGE

•FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce risk of tipping of the appliance from abnormal

usage or by excessive loading of the oven door, the appliance must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip device.

To check if device is properly installed, look underneath range with a flashlight to make sure one of the rear leveling legs is properly engaged in the bracket slot. The anti-tip device secures the rear leveling leg to the floor when properly engaged. You should check the device each time the range has been moved.

To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it.

Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.

If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.

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. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

In Case of Fire

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.

•Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 heavy build-up of soil to accumulate in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

Before Self-Cleaning

1.Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn out during the clean cycle.

2.Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.

3.Clean oven frame, door frame, area outside of gasket, and around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive

cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The selfcleaning process does not clean these areas. They should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle. (The gasket is the seal around the oven door and window.)

4.To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

* Brand names for cleaning products are registered trademarks of the respective manufacturers.

5.Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom. This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle.

6.Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up before a selfclean cycle.

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.

BURNER HEAD CAP

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.

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.

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 PORTS clogged, clean

the small port beneath the ignitor using a straight pin.

IGNITOR

PORT BELOW IGNITOR

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.)

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.

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.

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°”.

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	Do not place
LOCATION	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.

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.

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:

CAUTION

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.

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.

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.
