Fire Safety • Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance,

• All ranges can tip. Injury to persons could result. Install anti-tip device pack­aged with range. Verify that the anti-tip devices are engaged. See installa-

tion instructions.

Figure 1: Tipping Precautions

especially surface unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

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.

• Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom
of the pan.

• If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door
closed. Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit
breaker box.

• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a
hot burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

• If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent, or fan, be certain that flam­mable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the
burners or elements. They could catch on fire.

• Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers may ignite.

English 2

Safety

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers

cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.

b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing

food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef
Flambe').

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to

accumulate on fan or filter.

d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size

of the surface element.

• In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immedi­ately to extinguish flames.

• Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda.
Never use water on cooking fires.

• Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not push the
flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A
RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal

tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT
BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND

CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a vio-

lent steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.

2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

3) The fire department is being called.

4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

e) Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visi-

ble and easily accessible near the oven.

• Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop
fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

English 3

Safety

Gas Safety • To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block appliance air vents.

WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.

- Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flam­mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appli­ance.

- WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch.

• Do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone.

Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call fire department.

- Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
authorized service agency or the gas supplier.

• Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located.

• If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until
gas dissipates before using the appliance.

• If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for
leaks. If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak
and, therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself" pro­cedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON
position and this must be done by a qualified service technician. See warn­ing in “Gas Safety” on page 4.

WARNING:

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room.
Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the
appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.

Burn Prevention • 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, potholders, or other flammable materials contact sur­face units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

• 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, potholders, 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, sur­faces near these openings and oven doors.

• Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open
the door (or drawer) slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape.
Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or
pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with
your cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning
purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.

English 4

• Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause injury.

• Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack
must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating
elements.

• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food
(i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').

• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bub­bling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting.
Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

• Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

Child Safety • When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal

responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are
instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an
appliance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can
damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe
injury.

• Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an
adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

Safety

CAUTION:

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabi­nets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an
appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:

The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Gov­ernor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires busi­nesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

1) The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self­cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide.

2) The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small
amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.

3) California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon
Monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.

4) Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
a) Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
b) Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self

cleaning the oven.

c) Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.

Cleaning Safety • Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce nox-

ious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause
burns from steam.

• When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door
does not lock, do not run Self-Clean. Contact service.

• Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds out of the
kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could reach them. During self
clean, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes
such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.

English 5

Safety

• Keep oven free from grease build up.

Cookware Safety • Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

• Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.

• Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent
spills and movement of the pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or
burner will also improve efficiency.

• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja­cent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk
of fires, spills and burns.

• Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety
risks.

Proper Installation and Maintenance

WARNING:

When properly cared for, your new appliance has been designed to be
safe and reliable. Read all instructions carefully before use. These precau­tions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to per­sons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be
followed, including those in the following pages.

• Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it
for easy reference.

• This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified tech­nician. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation
Instructions for details.

• This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. It is not
approved for outdoor use. See the Warranty. If you have any questions,
contact the manufacturer.

• Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood
products in or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when
heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals in heating or clean­ing will damage the appliance and could result in injury.

• Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged. Contact an authorized service person.

• Do not obstruct oven vents.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom­mended in this manual. Refer all servicing to a factory authorized service
center.

• In the event of an error the display flashes and beeps continuously. If this
happens during self-clean, disconnect appliance from the power supply and
call a qualified technician.

• In the event of an error the display flashes and beeps continuously. Discon­nect appliance from the power supply and call a qualified technician.

Burner Caps The cooktop has four burner caps. Match the size of the burner cap to the size of

the burner. Burner caps are not interchangeable.

Make sure the burner cap is completely seated on the burner base before
attempting to light the burner. If the burner cap is not placed correctly, the burner
may not light or the flame may not burn completely or correctly. The appliance

Getting Started

comes with two different types of burner caps: standard and diffusion (model
dependent). See the sections below for further information on each.

Burner Grates

WARNING:

To prevent flare-ups, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps
and all burner grates properly positioned. Do not use a grate if the feet
are missing or damaged.

There are two burner grates: one for the left side of the cooktop and one for the
right side of the cooktop. Position them so that the circular opening is over the
burner cap. Burner grates should rest flat on the cooktop. The rubber feet on the

grates should rest in the indents on the cooktop.

Left Side

Electronic Ignitor The cooktop uses electronic ignitors to light the burners. There is no pilot light.

Each burner has its own ignitor. For proper operation, keep the ignitor clean and
dry. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boilover or when the burner
does not light even though the ignitor clicks.

CAUTION:

All ignitors spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not touch
any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.

High Power Burner The high power burner is the largest burner. It is the most powerful burner on the

cooktop. The burner cap retains heat longer than normal burner caps and, at low
settings, prohibits the flame from touching the cookware. This results in a gentle,
more predictable heat. Use the low settings on this burner to simmer large
amounts of sauces or soups. Use the high settings to quickly bring large
amounts of water to a boil.

Precision Burner The precision burner is the smallest burner on the cooktop. It is well suited for

gentle cooking of small amounts of food. Use the burner to melt butter or choco­late or to prepare delicate sauces.

Oven Racks Depending on model, the range is equipped with one of the following combina-

tions:

• Two flat racks and one full extension rack

• Two flat racks and one half rack

Flat Oven Racks The racks are designed with a stop so they will stop before coming completely

out of the oven and not tilt.

g

CAUTION:

To avoid burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning
oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm. If a rack
must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact
hot elements.

Inserting Racks Into Oven

1. Grasp rack firmly on both sides.

2. Tilt rack up to allow stop into rack guide.

Oven Bottom

Combustion Vents (Slide-in models only)

The combustion vents are located along the back edge of the cooktop. They
allow the burners to operate properly. Do not block these vents.

CAUTION:

Do not place food directly on oven bottom. Do not use aluminum foil
or protective liners to line any part of an appliance, especially surface
unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire.

CAUTION:

DO NOT block combustion vents. Blocked vents could lead to fire or
unintentional release of carbon monoxide.

Oven Vent The oven vent is located below the display above the rear left cooktop burner. It

is normal to see steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect on
the backguard and cooktop.

CAUTION:

This area may become hot when the oven is in use. To prevent car­bon monoxide build-up, do not block the vent. The oven vent is also
important for air circulation.

Automatic Shutoff The oven will automatically shut off after 12 hours (24 hours if the time format is

set for 24 hour in the Select Function section).

Self Cleaning The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor

involved with cleaning your oven.

Getting the Most Out of Your Cooktop

Cooktop Cooking Guide

Boiling Water Time to boil can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions. Try the fol-

lowing tips to decrease boil time:

• Use a lid.

• Use a pan that is appropriately sized for the amount of water and the size of
the burner.

• Select a pan with a flat base (See “Cookware Selection Guide” on page 28
for details).

• Choose a medium-weight pan (rather than a heavy-weight one).

• Boil the smallest amount of water necessary. Smaller volumes will boil faster
than larger volumes.

Recommended Settings Use this chart as a guide for heat settings. A range of heat settings are listed

because the actual setting depends on:

• type and quality of pan (See “Cookware Selection Guide” on page 28).

• type, quantity and temperature of the food,

• burner used and

• the cook’s preference.

Table 2: Cooking Guide

Uses Heat Settings

Bringing water to boil 9 - High

Pan frying, sautéing, browning meat, deep fat frying 6-8 - Med-High

Most frying, eggs, pancakes, slow boil 4-5 - Med

Simmering, finish cooking, covered foods, steaming 2-3 - Med Low

Melting butter and chocolate 1 - Low

Cookware Selection Guide

Cookware Characteristics Pan selection directly affects cooking speed and uniformity. For best results

select pans with flat bases. When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom) should
rest evenly on the surface without wobbling (rocking). Flat, medium-to-heavy­weight pans are best.

To Test the Flatness of Your Pans Turn the pan upside down on the countertop and place

a ruler flat against the bottom of the pan. The bottom of
the pan and the straight edge of the ruler should be
flush against each other.

English 28

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

Another simple test to determine even heat dis­tribution across the cookware bottom is to place
1” (25.4 mm) of water in the pan. Bring the water
to a boil and observe the location of the bubbles
as the water starts to boil. Good, flat cookware
will have an even distribution of bubbles over
the bottom surface area.

Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not

use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the
pan.

Place oversized pans that span two burners front to rear, not side to side.

Tight Fitting Lids – A lid shortens cooking/boiling time by holding heat inside
the pot.

Cookware Tips • Use of pots and pans with rounded (either concave or convex) warped or

dented bottoms should be avoided. See drawings.

• Make sure the bottom of the pot or pan being used is clean and dry.

• Use pots and pans with thick, smooth metal bottoms.

Specialty Pans Specialty pans such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers, woks, water bath

canners and pressure canners must have the same features as described
above. Use only a flat-bottomed wok.

Multiple Rack Cooking When using multiple racks, follow the placement recommendations below.

• RACK POSITION 6 (highest position) – melting cheese, broiling thin foods

• RACK POSITION 5 – broiling most meats, toasting bread

• RACK POSITION 4 – broiling thicker meats

• RACK POSITION 3 – most baked goods when baking on one rack, such as
on cookie sheet or baking pan, cakes, frozen foods, biscuits, brownies,
muffins

• RACK POSITION 2 – Used for pies, casseroles, breads, bundt or pound
cakes, small roasts or poultry.

• RACK POSITION 1 (lowest position) – Used for angel food cake, large
roasts, turkey.

Figure 14: Rack Positions

• Two rac k : Use rack positions 2 and 5.

• Three rack: (for convection bake): Use positions 1, 3 and 6. The rack in
position 3 can be extension rack if desired.

Pan Placement Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking

more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½” of air space around the
pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks
so that one pan is not directly above the other. To allow for best baking results
stagger pans as shown in the graphic below.

Baking Pans Here are some tips for cooking with baking pans:

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat, therefore reduce oven temperature 25°F
when baking in glass.

• Shiny, smooth metal reflects heat resulting in lighter, more delicate brown­ing.

• Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in browner, crisper crust.
Some manufacturers recommend reducing temperature 25° F when using
these pans. Follow manufacturer recommendations.

• Use glass or dark metal pans for pies.

• Insulated baking pans may increase the recommended baking time.

Figure 15: Pan Placement

Preheating the Oven Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it. Preheating is necessary for good

results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Setting a higher temper­ature does not shorten preheat time. Place oven racks in proper position before
preheating. A beep will confirm that oven is preheated and selected oven tem­perature will be displayed.

Note:
Preheating the oven is not recommended when using the probe
(some models). A hot oven will impair your ability to easily connect
the probe to the receptacle and to insert it into the meat.

The Probe (some models) • The oven is well insulated and the retained heat will continue to cook the

meat after the oven has shut off. For this reason, remove the meat from the
oven as soon as the control beeps.

• Since meat continues to cook after being removed from the oven, set the
internal (probe) temperature 5 - 10 degrees below the desired final internal
temperature (exception: poultry). Allow standing time (10 -20 minutes)
before carving the meat.

• Always use the handle of the probe for inserting and removing. Use a
potholder to remove since the probe becomes hot.

• Remove the probe from the oven when it is not being used.

• The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For best results, completely
thaw meats before using the probe.

Inserting the Probe

English 30

• For meats, insert the probe tip into the thickest part and do not touch bone,
fat, or gristle.

• For large poultry products and turkeys, insert the probe in the thickest part of
the inner thigh.

• For other foods, such as a meatloaf, the probe tip should be located in the
center of the thickest part of the food.

Oven Cooking Modes

Bake, Proof and Warm

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the
upper and lower element cycle maintain the
oven temperature. Bake mode can be used to
prepare foods like pastries and casseroles as
well as to roast meats.

Note:
Depending on the model, you may hear the convection fan while the
oven is preheating for the bake mode. This is normal.

In the Proofing mode, the oven will use the upper and lower element to maintain
a low temperature to proof bread.

• Proofing is the rising of a yeast dough.

• The Proofing mode temperatures are 85° to 110° F. The default temperature
is 100° F.

• Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the
size of the container.

• Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the
dough.

Convection Bake

In Warming mode, the upper and lower elements maintain a low temperature in
the oven cavity in order to keep food at serving temperature.

• Use the Warming setting on the oven to keep foods hot until ready to serve.

• Warming mode temperatures are 140° - 220° F. Default temperature is
170°.

• Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.

CAUTION:

When using Warm mode, follow these guidelines:

• Do not use the Warm Mode to heat cold food.

• Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recom­mends holding hot food at 140°F or warmer.

• DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.

Convection baking is similar to baking. Heat
comes from the lower heating element and a
third element behind the backwall. The main
difference in convection baking is that the heat
is circulated throughout the oven by the con­vection fan.

The Convection Bake mode is well-suited for
baking large quantities of food on multiple
racks. It can be used to prepare cookies, pies, cupcakes, pastries, breads,
snack foods and appetizers among other items. The benefits of Convection Bak­ing include:

• Slight decrease in cooking time

• Three rack cooking (more even browning)

• Higher Volume (yeast items rise higher)

• Ability to cook more items at once

English 31

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

For Best Results:

• Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F. Refer to Convection Baking chart.

• Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without
sides.

• Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack

Automatic Convection Conversion In the convection bake mode, the temperature is automatically reduced 25° F

from the package or recipe temperature. Simply enter the package or recipe
temperature when setting the mode and the range calculates the correct tem­perature.

The Automatic Convection Conversion feature can be turned off to allow for
manual temperature adjustment. See “Turn Automatic Convection Conversion
ON or OFF” on page 18 for details.

When the Automatic Convection Conversion feature is activated, the display will
read AUTO CONV BAKE. When the feature is turned off, it will read CONV
BAKE.

Broil

Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the
upper element. The Broil mode is best suited to
cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1” or less),
poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown
breads and casseroles. Always broil with the
door closed.

The benefits of Broiling include:

• Fast and efficient cooking

• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids

• Browning as the food cooks

Table 4: Broiling Chart

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

For Best Results:

• Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.

• Steaks and Chops should be at least 3/4” thick

• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking

• Use the broil pan and grid included with your range

• Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils
away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering

• Turn meats once halfway through the recommended cooking time (see Broil
Chart for examples).

• When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such
as Corningware®.

• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); they can’t tolerate the high tempera­ture.

Dehydrate The dehydrate mode dries with heat from a

third element behind the back wall of the oven.
The heat is circulated throughout the oven by
the convection fan. Use dehydrate to dry and/or
preserve foods such as fruits, vegetables and
herbs. This mode holds an optimum low tem­perature (100° F - 160° F) while circulating the
heated air to slowly remove moisture. The oven
will stay on for 48 hours before shutting off
automatically.

For Best Results:

• Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140° F. Dry herbs at 100° F. (Refer to the
Dehydrate Chart for examples).

• Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food,
the size of the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air.
Check food at the minimum drying time.

• Multiple drying racks (not included) can be used simultaneously. Contact
your dealer to order drying racks.

• Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.

• Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative Extension Office or
library for additional information.

Part Recommendations

Racks Wash with hot sudsy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or

soap filled pads as directed. If racks are cleaned in the oven during the self-clean mode, they
will lose their shiny finish and may not glide smoothly. If this happens, wipe the rack edges with
a small amount of vegetable oil, then wipe off excess.

Door Gasket DO NOT HAND CLEAN GASKET.

Glass Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik® or Formula 409® to remove grease

spatters and stubborn stains.

Painted Surfaces Clean with hot sudsy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper

towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powdered cleansers, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.

Porcelain Surfaces Immediately wipe up acid spills like fruit juice, milk and tomatoes with a dry towel. Do not use a

moistened sponge/towel on hot porcelain. When cool, clean with hot sudsy water or apply Bon­Ami® or Soft Scrub® to a damp sponge. Rinse and dry. For stubborn stains, use soap filled
pads. It is normal for porcelain to show fine lines with age due to exposure to heat and food soil.

Stainless Surfaces Always wipe or rub with grain. Clean with a soapy sponge then rinse and dry, or wipe with Fan-

tastik® or Formula 409® sprayed onto a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel

Cleaning and Maintenance

Self Cleaning the Oven The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor

involved with cleaning your oven. During self-cleaning, the oven uses a very
high temperature to burn away food soil and grease.

• Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the oven.

• Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.

• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during the Self­Clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the
oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening
the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.

• The oven door locks at the beginning of the self-clean cycle.

• The oven light does not operate during this mode.

• During Self-Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate
odors associated with Self-Clean. Odors will lessen with use.

• Four hours is the preset length of cleaning. The range can also be set to
clean for 3 or 5 hours.

• The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean hours.

• When the oven cools after cleaning, the automatic door lock will release and
the door can be opened.

• To cancel or stop while the mode is operating, press OFF.

• The door will not unlock until the oven reaches a safe temperature.

Preparing the Oven for Self Clean

WARNING:

A flexible door gasket is necessary for a good seal. Do not clean, rub,
damage or move the gasket.

1. Remove all utensils and bakeware.

2. Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull dark finish. See “Oven Cleaning Chart” on page 41 for proper care.

3. Wipe up excessive soil, spills, and grease before self-cleaning the oven.
Excess grease will cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self­cleaning.

Do hand-clean 1 1/2 inches from
rack guides to front of oven cavity.

Do not hand-clean
the gasket.

Do hand-clean frame
area outside the gasket.

Do hand-clean door
area outside the gasket.

This is a fault code. Press OFF to clear the display and stop beeping.
Reset oven if necessary. If fault code remains and beep continues, record
fault code, cancel oven and call authorized service technician.

This is normal with a new range and will disappear after a few uses. Oper­ating the self-clean cycle will also “burn-off” the smell more quickly.

Be sure that pad is clean. Touch the center of the touchpad. Use the flat
part of your finger.

On some models, the convection fan will run while the oven is preheating
for the bake mode. This is normal.

Slide-in models also have a cooling fan that runs during every cooking
mode.

It is normal to see or feel steam or warm air escaping from the oven vent.
Do not block the vent.
