To Clean:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach
or rust removers.
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to “General Cleaning” section.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a
trained repair specialist.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the
cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.

Meat Thermometer
On models without a temperature probe, use a meat
thermometer to determine doneness of meat, poultry and fish.
The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to
determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with
this appliance.
■ Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
■ After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat
½" (1.3 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops,
cook the meat or poultry longer.
■ Check all meat, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places.
A. Oven vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and
cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that
could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Baking and Roasting
ACCUBAKE® DUO SYSTEM® Temperature Management
(on some models)
The ACCUBAKE® DUO SYSTEM® temperature management
technology uses two sensors to maintain even temperatures.
The two temperature sensors independently control the bake and
broil burners for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil cycle
on and off in intervals. This feature is automatically activated
when the oven is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to
end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
2. Press TEMP or TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set
a temperature other than 350°F (175°C) in 5°F (3°C) amounts.
The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (75°C
and 260°C).
When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F (77°C), no
preheat conditioning time will be shown in the display. The
preheat conditioning time will not change if the temperature is
reset before the countdown time ends.
3. Press START or START/ENTER. The temperature can be
changed after this step. The start pad does not need to be
pressed again.
If baking and roasting while the minute timer is counting
down, the set temperature can be seen for 5 seconds by

4. Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished.
Preheating
After the start pad is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat
conditioning. “PrE” (on some models) and the countdown time
will appear on the display. When the preheat conditioning time
ends, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear
on the display.
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ due to the cycling of the elements.
Waiting an additional 10 minutes, after the preheat conditioning
time ends, to put food in the oven is suggested when baking
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,
baking soda and eggs.

Choice Bake®Function
(on some models)
The CHOICE BAKE® function minimizes the top heat during oven
cooking. It is ideal for baking pies, casseroles and breads, and for
roasting foods that require longer and slower cook times such as
poultry and roasts.
Similar to the baking and roasting function, the bake and broil
burners cycle on and off at intervals during the CHOICE BAKE
cycle. However, the cycle duration for the broil burner is much
shorter during the CHOICE BAKE

Broiling
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control
when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (provided on some
models). They are designed to drain juices and help avoid
spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for
Part Number 4396923.
■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■ After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. It is
not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.

Warm Hold Feature
(on somemodels)
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before
placing it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to 1 hour;
however, breads and casseroles may become too dry if left in the
oven during Warm Hold.
Warm Hold Feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at serving
temperature. It can also be used at the end of a timed cook.
12
To Use Automatic Warm Hold Feature:
At the end of a timed cook, either with or without a delayed start,
or at the end of a sequence program in which the last step is not
the Warm Hold mode, the oven will automatically default to a
1-hour warm hold mode at 170°F (77°C).
When the cook time ends or the last step of the sequence is
complete, the display will show a warming countdown time.
When warming ends, the oven will automatically shut off and
“End” will appear on the display. Four tones will sound, and then
four 1-second reminder tones will sound every minute thereafter.

Sequence Programming
Sequence Programming allows you to program up to 4 cooking
functions at one time. Other oven functions, such as the Timer
and Warming Drawer, may be used when a sequenced Program
is running.
All steps of a sequenced program must be programmed with a
stop time. If a stop time is not entered for a step in the sequence
program, and the FIRST/NEXT STEP pad is pressed, 3 tones will
sound prompting you to enter a stop time.
Sequence Programming takes precedence over any
nonsequenced cooking function. For example, if an untimed
Bake function is in process and a sequence program is started,
the untimed Bake function will be canceled, and the program
sequence will start.
Example - Sequence Programming
