Important Safety 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 doors, 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 this anytime
the range has been moved.
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 are
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.
• Ovens: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven
doors.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or
flame.
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 may ignite flammable items and may increase
pressure in closed containers which may 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.
About Your Appliance
WARNING
NEVER use appliance doors 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.
The oven vent is located at the base of the backguard.
Avoid touching oven vent area while ovens are on and
for several minutes after ovens are turned off. Some
parts of the vent and surrounding area become hot
2
Important Safety Instructions
enough to cause burns. After ovens are turned off, do
not touch the 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 doors, areas around the oven doors and
oven windows.
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.
Do not use the cooktop or oven as a storage area for
food or cooking utensils.
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 doors 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 leave a surface cooking operation unattended
especially when using a high heat setting or when deep
fat frying. Boilovers 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 ovens. 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 let 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.
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.
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.
Ovens
Always place oven racks in the desired positions while
ovens are cool. Slide oven racks out to add or remove
food, using dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching
into the ovens to add or remove food. If a rack must be
moved while hot, use a dry potholder. Always turn the
ovens off at the end of cooking.
Use care when opening the oven doors. 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
bottoms. This could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or
damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this
guide.
3
Important Safety Instructions
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-Cleaning Ovens
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 ovens.
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
4
Important Safety Instructions
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.

Surface Cooking
Suggested Heat Settings
Low: Use to simmer foods, keep foods
warm and melt chocolate or butter. Some
cooking may take place on the Low
setting if the pan is covered. Be sure
flame is stable.
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
prior to 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.
Intermediate flame sizes are 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.
High: 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.
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 Light
setting.
• A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner
will light. (All five ignitors will spark when any surface
burner knob is turned to the Light 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 Light position.
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.
Pilotless Ignition
Pilotless ignition eliminates the
need for a constant standing
pilot light. Each surface burner
has a spark ignitor. Use care
when cleaning around the
surface burner.
If the surface burner does
not light, check if ignitor is
broken, soiled or wet.
Surface Control Knobs
Use to turn on the surface burners. An infinite choice of heat
settings is available from Low to High. 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.
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 Light.
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to Light.
3. When the burner lights, adjust the flame to the desired
level.
6
Surface Cooking
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 burner bases 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 base should be cleaned after each use.
The cap portion of the burner is easily removed for cleaning.
(See page 20 for cleaning directions.)
The burner caps must be correctly placed on the burner base
for proper operation of the burner.
Burner Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking.
Lower the grates onto the range so that the bars match up
and the rubber feet located at the four corners of the grates
sit in the indentations on the cooktop.
Improper installation or removal of the grates may result in
chipping or scratching of the cooktop. It may also cause pans
to be unsteady on the grates.
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.
Use care when stirring food in a pot/pan sitting on the burner
grate. The grates have a smooth finish for ease of cleaning.
The pot/pan will slide if the handle is not held. This may result
in spilling of hot food items and may be a burn hazard.
Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually
lose their shine and/or discolor, due to the high temperatures
of the gas flame.
High Performance Burners
There is one 16,000 BTU* high speed burner on your range,
located in the left front position. There is a 12,000 BTU*
burner located in the right front position. These burners offer
higher speed cooking that can be used to quickly bring water
to a boil and for large-quantity cooking.
Simmer Burner
This burner is located in the center position. The
simmer burner offers a lower BTU* flame for delicate
sauces or melting chocolate.
* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.
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 High to
Low, 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.

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 ovens
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 degrees
higher or lower than your recipe recommends, then bake.
The results of the first bake should give you an idea of how
much to adjust the temperature.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1. Press the Bake pad for the appropriate oven.
2. Enter 550° by pressing the appropriate number pads.
3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several seconds or until
00° appears in the display.

Care & Cleaning
Self-Clean Ovens
CAUTION
• It is normal for parts of the ovens to become hot during a
self-clean cycle.
• To prevent damage to oven doors, do not attempt to open
the doors when LOCK is displayed.
• Avoid touching doors, windows or oven vent area during
a clean cycle.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish
or around any part of the ovens. They will damage the
finish or parts.
• Do not leave baking/pizza stone in the oven during
self-clean.
The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures
to automatically clean the oven interior.
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 as 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
self-cleaning 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.
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 or sugary spills are not wiped up before a
self-clean cycle.
Notes:
• Oven temperature must be below 400° F to program a
clean cycle.
• Only one oven can be cleaned at a time.
• Both oven doors lock when either oven is being cleaned.

the self-cleaning time.
5. After four seconds, the oven will start cleaning.
• If the door is not closed, beeps will sound and ‘door’ will
display. If the door is not closed within 30 seconds, the
self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display
will return to the time of day.

clean operation. The delay time will display.
During the Self-Clean Cycle
When LOCK shows in the display, both oven doors are locked.
To prevent damage to the doors, do not force the doors open
when LOCK is displayed.
Smoke and Smells
You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few
times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in
time.
Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a
broiler pan was left in the oven.
After Self-Cleaning
About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK
will turn off. The doors can then be opened.
Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove
it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means
the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.
If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide
smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports
with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to
move.
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went
through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not
affect performance.
A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic
or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean
cycle. This discoloration is normal and will not affect perfor-
mance.
Self-Clean Notes:
• If the oven door is left open, “door” will appear in the
display and a signal will beep until the door is closed
and the Clean pad is pressed again.
• If more than 30 seconds elapse between pressing the
Clean pad and the Autoset pad, the program will
automatically return to the previous display.
• The oven doors will be damaged if the oven doors are
forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.
Sounds
As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts
expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage the oven.

Maintenance
Oven Doors
CAUTION
• Do not place excessive weight on or stand on open oven
doors. This could cause the range to tip over, break the
doors, or injure the user.
• Do not attempt to open or close doors or operate oven
until doors are properly replaced.
• Never place fingers between hinge and front oven frame.
Hinge arms are spring mounted. If accidentally hit, the
hinge will slam shut against oven frame and could injure
your fingers.
Both the upper and lower oven doors are removable.
To remove:
1. When cool, open the oven door to the first stop position
(opened about four inches).
2. Grasp door at each side. Do not use the door handle to lift
door.
3. Lift up evenly until door clears hinge arms.
Oven Windows
To protect the oven door windows:
1. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as steel wool
scouring pads or powdered cleansers as they may scratch
the glass.
2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or other
objects.
3. Do not close an oven door until the oven racks are in place.
Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken
its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later
date.
Upper and Lower Oven Lights
CAUTION
• Disconnect power to oven before replacing light bulb.
• Allow oven to cool before replacing light bulb.
• Make sure bulb cover and bulb are cool before touching.
To replace:
1. Grasp door at each side.
2. Align slots in the door with the hinge arms on the range.
3. Slide the door down onto the hinge arms until the door is
completely seated on the hinges. Push down on the top
corners of the door to completely seat door on hinges.
Door should not appear crooked.
Note: The oven door on a new range may feel “spongy”
when it is closed. This is normal and will decrease with use.
To assure the proper replacement bulb is used, order bulb from
Maytag. Call 1-877-232-6771 USA and 1-800-688-8408 Canada,
ask for part number 74009925 - halogen bulb.
To replace oven light bulbs:
1. Disconnect power to the range.
2. When oven is cool, use fingertips to grasp edge of bulb cover.
Pull out and remove.
3. Carefully remove old bulb by pulling straight out of ceramic
base.
4. To avoid damaging or decreasing the life of the new bulb, do
not touch the bulb with bare hands or fingers. Hold with a
cloth or paper towel. Push new bulb prongs straight into
small holes of ceramic base.
5. Replace bulb cover by snapping into place.
6. Reconnect power to range. Reset clock.
