In case of a prolonged power failure
You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit
match near a burner and turn the control knob to
the LIGHT position. After the burner lights, turn the
control knob to the setting you want.
Home canning information
The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure
canners combined with high heat settings for long
periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:
For best results, use a canner which can be
•
centered over the surface burner.
Do not place your canner on 2 surface burners at

much heat will build
up and damage the
cooktop.
Start with hot water.
•
This reduces the time
the control is set on
high. Reduce the heat
setting to the lowest
position needed to
keep the water boiling.
Using the right cookware
makes a big difference
The pan should have a flat bottom,
•
straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.
Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-
•
ness) cookware.
The pan material (metal or glass) affects
•
how quickly and evenly the pan heats.
When using glass or ceramic cookware,
•
check to make sure it is suitable for use
on surface burners.
To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans
•
are centered on the grates.

POSITIONING RACKS AND PANS
USING YOUR RANGE
General guidelines
Follow this section carefully to get the best
cooking results.
Before turning on the oven, place oven racks
•
where you need them.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop, raise the
•
front edge, and lift it out.
Be sure the rack(s) is level.
•
Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your
•
hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven
is hot.
When baking/roasting with 1 rack, place the
•
rack so the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.
When baking/roasting on 2 racks, position racks
•
in oven to allow good circulation of air around all
the food.
Do not place items on the oven door when it
•
is open.
Extra oven rack position (roasting rack)
Use this rack position when roasting food too large
to be placed on the first
rack position.
For proper roasting,
follow these
guidelines:
The rack must be level.
•
Use an adequate
•
amount of liquid in the
pan (meat juices or
Extra oven rack position
To pull the rack over the door you must tilt the
•
rack up at the front. If the rack is loaded with food,
tilting the rack could cause the food to spill. To
avoid spilling, do not try to pull out the rack when
removing large amounts of food.

does not get overdone.
Rack placement for specific foods:
FOOD
Frozen pies, large
roasts, turkeys, angel
food cakes
Bundt cakes, most
quick breads, yeast
breads, casseroles,
meats
Cookies, biscuits,
muffins, cakes,
nonfrozen pies
NOTE: For information on where to place your
rack when broiling, see “Broiling guide” later in
this section.
Using insulated bakeware, ovenproof
glassware, and dark metal pans
When baking with insulated cookie sheets
•
or baking pans, place them in the bottom
third of the oven. You may need to increase the recommended baking times,
so test for doneness before removing from
the oven.
When using ovenproof glassware or dark
•
bakeware, reduce the oven temperature
by 25°F but use the same baking time.
Because these pans absorb heat, producing darker bottom browning and crispier
crusts, place the rack in the center of the
oven. When baking pies and bread, you
can use the temperature suggested in
the recipe.

USING YOUR RANGE
FOR BEST AIR CIRCULATION
Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven
for even heat to reach
all parts of the oven.
This results in better
baking.
Place the pans so
•
that one is not directly
over the other.
For best results,
•
allow 11⁄2-2 inches of
space around each
pan and between pans
and oven walls.
For best baking results, bake 1 sheet of cookies
•
at a time.
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE

2. Set the new offset temperature.
Press s to raise the temperature or t to lower
the temperature in 10°F amounts. You can set
the temperature change to as low as -30°F or as
high as +30°F. A minus (-) sign will appear before
the number when decreasing the temperature
setting. The minus sign shows the oven will be
cooler by the displayed amount. There is no sign
in front of the number when increasing the
temperature setting.
3. Enter the adjustment.
NOTE: The offset temperature resets to “00” if
the power goes out for more than 1 second.
How to determine the amount of
adjustment needed
The chart at the right tells you how much to adjust
the offset temperature to get the cooking results
you want. You can figure out cooking results by the
amount of browning, moistness, and rising times for
baked foods.

meat well done, start cooking on a lower rack
position or move them to a lower rack position
after searing.
Broiling guide
Recommended rack positions are numbered from
the bottom (1) to the
top (5). For best results,
turn meat after approximately 2⁄3 of the broiling
time. Turn chicken
pieces after approximately half of the
broiling time. Very thin
cuts, such as fish fillets,
may not need to be
turned at all. Lobster
tails are not turned.

THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET
USING YOUR RANGE
wWARNING
Burn Hazard
Use pot holders when touching items left
near oven vent.
Failure to do so can result in burns.
The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight
to the open door without the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.
wWARNING
Tip Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.
Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.
See the installation instructions for details.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns
to children and adults.
Anti-Tip Bracket
Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:
Slide range forward.
•
Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.
•
Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

THE STORAGE DRAWER
Use the storage drawer to store cookware. You can
remove the drawer to make it easier to clean under
the range. Be careful when handling the drawer.
Removing the storage drawer:
1. Empty the drawer before you remove it. Pull the
drawer straight out to the first stop. (The stops
are small, round objects formed in the slide rail.
They keep the drawer from sliding all the way
out.) Then lift the front of the drawer and pull it
out to the second stop.
2. Lift the back of the drawer slightly and slide it all
the way out.
Replacing the storage drawer:
1. Fit the ends of the drawer slide rails into the
drawer guides on both sides of the opening.
Also, be sure the lower guide is fitted onto the
lower slide rail.
2. Lift the front of the drawer and push it in until the
metal stops on the drawer slide rails clear the
drawer guides. Then slide the drawer closed.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the
inside of the oven. Like the other functions of your range, you run the Self-Cleaning cycle with the
easy-to-use controls. Please review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotless.
wWARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling
dangerous fumes.
BEFORE YOU START
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make
sure you:
Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot
•
enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to
burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a
soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket.
You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.
Remove the broiler pan and grid and any pots
•
and pans being stored in the oven.
Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help
•
reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as
•
possible after the oven cools down. When sugar
is heated to a high temperature in the SelfCleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause
the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain.
This can cause staining and etching or pitting.
Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want
•
them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven
racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will
become harder to slide. (See the “Cleaning chart”
in the “Caring for Your Range” section.) If you
clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place
them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides
are counted from bottom to top.)
Heat and odors are normal during the Self-
•
Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated
by opening a window or by turning on a vent
hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
TIPS:
Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning
•
cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.
Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They
•
may melt.
Do not leave any foil in the oven during the
•
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and
damage the oven surface.
The oven light will not work during the Self-
•
Cleaning cycle.

indicator lights will stay on. When the door locked
indicator light goes out, you can open the door.
Self-cleaning tips
Keep the kitchen well ventilated during
•
the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid
of heat, odors, and smoke.
Clean the oven before it gets heavily
•
soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes
longer and could cause an increased
amount of smoke.
PRESS YOU SEE
OFF

HOW THE CYCLE WORKS
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn
away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven
gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or
broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease
and burns it away.
Your oven is automatically preset for a 41⁄2-hour
Self-Cleaning cycle.
The graph at the right shows you what happens
in a 41⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Notice that the
heating stops 1⁄2 hour before the 41⁄2-hour setting
is up.

SEALED SURFACE BURNERS AND COOKTOP (CONT.)
Cleaning the surface burners
You should routinely remove and clean the
•
burner cap. Always clean the burner cap after
a spillover. Keeping the burner cap clean prevents improper ignition and an uneven flame.
For the proper flow of gas and ignition of the
•
burner, do not allow spills, food, cleaning
agents, or any other material to enter the
gas tube opening or burner ports.
Gas must flow freely through the gas tube
•
opening for the burner to light properly. You
must keep this area free of any soil and protect
it from boilovers or spillovers. Always keep the
burner cap in place whenever a surface burner
is in use.
Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.
•
Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust
•
removers.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
•
ventilation air.
Be careful not to allow moisture to collect in the
•
burner control knob areas. Moisture can cause
the ignitor switches to fail.
