CAUTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR GAS COOKTOP

Know which knob or key controls each surface heating

area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area

before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before

removing the cookware.

Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with

one or more surface units of different sizes. Select

cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized cookware

may expose a portion of the flame to direct contact

and may result in the ignition of clothing or other

items. Using the proper cookware on the cooking

areas will improve efficiency.

Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting

top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then

adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the

edge of the utensil.

To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable

materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact

with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be

positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not

extend over adjacent surface burners

Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat

settings — Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spill

overs that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may

melt.

Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for cook top service without

breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook

top use.

When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood,

turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, after-

market oven liners, or any other materials or

devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any

other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as

recommended for baking, such as lining cookware

or as a cover placed on food. Any other use of

protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a

risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.

• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven

door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to

the side of the appliance when opening the door of

a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you

remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching

surfaces in this area when the oven is on may

cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-

sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These

items can melt or ignite.

• Placement of oven racks - Always place oven

racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack

must be moved while oven is hot, do not let

potholder contact hot burner or element in oven.

Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands

to reposition. Remove all cookware and utensils

before moving the rack.

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler

pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away

from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the

broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and

grease could ignite.

• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook

in proper cookware and always use the oven

racks.

Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The

use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of

the burner flame to direct contact and may result in

ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to

flame will also improve efficiency.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR APPLIANCE

Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of

grease that could catch fire. Do not allow grease to

accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch

fire.

Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended direc-

tions for use of kitchen cleaners and aerosols. Be

aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols

may ignite causing damage and injury.

Clean ventilating hoods frequently - Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter. Follow the

manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning vent hoods.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF

CLEANING OVENS

• Do not clean the oven 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. No commercial oven

cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any part of the appli-

ance.

• Use the self clean cycle to clean only the parts

listed in this manual.

• Before using self clean, remove the broiler pan,

any food, utensils, and cookware from the oven,

storage drawer or warming drawer (if equipped).

Remove oven racks unless otherwise instructed.

• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes

given off during the self clean cycle of any oven.

Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE

AND MAINTENANCE

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance

unless specifically recommended in the manuals.

All other servicing should be done only by a

qualified technician. This reduces the risk of

personal injury and damage to the appliance.

• Always contact your dealer, distributor, service

agent, or manufacturer about problems or condi-

tions you do not understand.

• Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified techni-

cian and an authorized repair service. Know how

to disconnect the power to the appliance at the

circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emer-

gency.

• Remove the oven door from any unused oven if it

is to be stored or discarded.

• Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp

cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.

Handle halogen lights (if equipped) with paper

towels or soft gloves. Disconnect the appliance or

shut off the power to the appliance before

removing and replacing the bulb.

Important Safety Notice - The California Safe

Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires

the governor of California to publish a list of

substances known to cause cancer, birth defects, or

other reproductive harms, and requires businesses to

warn customers of potential exposures to such

substances.

• Before manually cleaning any part of the appli-

ance, be sure all controls are turned off and the

appliance is cool. Cleaning a hot appliance can

cause burns.

CAUTION

Burner Caps and Burner Grates Assembly

To prevent flare-ups use the cooktop with all burner caps

properly installed.

Placement of burner caps:

• Place a burner cap on each burner head, matching the

cap size to the head size.

• The cap for each burner has an inner locating ring

which centers the cap correctly on the burner head. Be

sure that all the burner caps and burner heads are

correctly placed before using your appliance.

• If the burner cap is not assembled properly, the burner

will not light.

• Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and

level.

• Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If the

burner does not light, contact the installer. Do not

service the sealed burner yourself.

ATTENTION: Do not slide the burner caps on the cooktop,

doing so can damage the surface.

Installing Burner Grates

Do not use surface burners without burner caps and grates

properly installed. Missing pieces or improper installation

may lead to spills, burns, or damage to your range and

cookware.

Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the

cooktop before using the surface burners. The grates are

designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.

To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down and

align into the cooktop recess. Grates should rest flush

against each other and against the sides of the recess (

See

Figure 2).

Cookware Material Types

The most popular materials available are:

• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of

food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum

cookware resists staining and pitting).

• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.

• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking

results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor; however, it will retain

heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature

is reached.

• Porcelain - enamel on metal - Heating characteristics

will vary depending on base material.

• Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Using Proper Cookware

Important: For best cooking results, cookware should have

flat bottoms that rest level on the burner grate. Before using

cookware, check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the

bottom of the cookware (Figure 3).

Please note: The size and type of utensil used and the

amount and type of food being cooked will influence the

burner flame setting needed for best cooking results.

Figure 2: How to properly place burner grates

Figure 3: Check for flat bottom cookware

Figure 4: Cookware recommendations

CORRECT

• Flat bottom and straight

sides.

• Tight ﬁtting lids.

• Weight of handle does

not tilt pan. Pan is well

balanced.

• Pan sizes match the

amount of food to be

prepared.

• Made of material that

conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

INCORRECT

• Curved and warped pan

bottoms.

• Pan overhangs unit by

more than 1” (2.5 cm).

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Flame extends beyond unit.

SETTING SURFACE BURNERS

Setting Surface Controls

Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized

surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in

larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is

important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount

and type of food being prepared.

• The smaller simmer burner (5k) is best suited for

simmering delicate sauces, etc.

• Use middle oval burner (10k), left rear burner (9.5k), or

left front burner (15k) for most cooking needs.

• The larger power burner at the front right (18k) is

recommended for bringing large quantities of liquid to

temperature and when preparing larger quantities of

food.

To set surface burners:

1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate.

Be sure the cooking utensil sits stable on the burner

grate.

2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn coun-

terclockwise out of the OFF position.

3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE

position. Visually check that the burner is lit.

4. Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in

and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size.

Use the control knob markings and adjust the flame as

needed.

• Do not cook with the surface control knob left in the

LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to

spark if the control knob setting remains in the LITE

position.

• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE

position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the

same time. However, only the surface burner you are

setting will ignite.

• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two

different surface cooking areas at the same time. This

can cause uneven heating results.

• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting

surface burners manually. To light a surface burner,

hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn

the surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights

push in and turn knob to desired setting.

• When operating the oven, it is possible for residual

heat from the oven to build-up and over time to even

tually transfer to the surface control knobs located

directly above the oven door.

• Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the

utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and

energy, and increases the risk of being burned by the

gas flame.

IMPORTANT

• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings

on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could

melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons

could catch fire if placed too close to the range

cooktop.

• Do not place aluminum foil, or any material that can

melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they

may permanently damage the cooktop surface.

SETTING SURFACE BURNERS

Setting proper surface burner flame size

For most cooking: Start on the highest control setting and

then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the

recommendations below as a guide for determining proper

flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of

utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will

influence the setting needed.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when

home canning with your appliance.

Check with the United States Department of Agriculture

(USDA) website and be sure to read all the information they

have available as well as follow their recommendations for

home canning procedures.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home

canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• When home canning, use only a completely flat bottom

canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom

center.

• Be sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1

inch beyond the grate.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more

quickly.

• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the

water to a boil.

• Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest

possible setting to maintain that boil.

IMPORTANT! Never place or straddle a cooking utensil

over two different surface cooking areas heating at the

same time. This can cause uneven heating results.

Flame Size Type of Cooking

High Flame

• Start most foods

• Bring water to a boil

• Pan broiling

Medium Flame

• Maintain slow boil

• Thicken sauces and

gravies

• Steaming foods

Low Flame

• Keep foods cooking,

poaching and stewing

Figure 6: Gas flame adjustment

Settings based on using medium weight metal or

aluminum pans. Settings may vary using other types of

pans.

The color of the flame is key to proper burner adjustment.

A good flame is clear, blue, and hardly visible in a well lit

room.

Each cone of the flame should be steady and sharp.

Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

IncorrectCorrect

NOTE

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located under the controls. When the oven

is in use, hot air passes through this vent for proper air

circulation and provides good baking results in the upper

oven. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent.

This is normal. Do not block this vent.

Cooling Fan: The fan may continue to run for a while even

after the oven has been turned off; this is normal.

Installing Ladder Racks

1. Place the ladder racks hook side up into the support

brackets located on the sides of the oven (

Figure 8).

2. Place oven racks into desired positions.

Note: To aid installation and movement of racks, apply a

thin layer of cooking oil to the sides of the oven racks that

contact the ladder supports.

Protective liners — Do not line the oven walls, racks,

bottom or any other parts of the range with aluminum foil.

Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking

results, and may cause permanent damage to the oven

interior. During self clean temperatures the oven will be hot

enough to melt foil. Use aluminum foil only as recom

mended in this manual. Improper installation or use of these

liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Oven Racks

Your appliance is equipped with flat handle oven racks and

can be placed in most oven rack positions.

Arranging, Removing, and Replacing Oven Racks

IMPORTANT! Remove all oven racks, rack ladders, and

any other accessories from the oven before starting a self

clean cycle.

• To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the

oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

• To remove - pull the oven rack straight forward until it

reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack

slightly and slide out.

• To replace - place the oven rack on the rack guides on

the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly

and slide the oven rack back into place.

• For ease of removal, racks should not be placed in

adjacent rack positions.

IMPORTANT!

To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to

close the oven door until all oven racks are fully positioned

inside the oven cavity.

Figure 7: Oven vent location

Figure 8: Ladder rack supports

Baking tips

• For pastries and breads, use the convection bake

function for best results when using multiple racks

“Convection Bake” on page 19.

• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between

bakeware for proper air circulation.

• Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like

cookies, biscuits, and breads.

• When using any single rack, use rack position 5 so that

the food is in the center of the oven.

• For best results when baking cakes using two oven

racks, use the regular bake function and place racks in

positions 3 and 7 (

Figure 16) and place pans as shown

in Figure 17.

• For best results when baking two racks of cookies, use

convection bake and place racks in positions 2 and 7.

• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny

bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It

may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or

cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark

pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recom

mended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• Glass cookware is a slow heat conductor. May require

reducing oven temperature.

• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will

reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase

cooking time.

Convection Bake

Convection functions use a fan to circulate oven heat

continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribu

tion allows for fast, even cooking and browning results.

Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Convect Bake may

be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) and

550°F (288°C).

Benefits of convection cooking include:

• Multiple rack baking.

Baking tips

• For pastries and breads, use the convection bake

function for best results when using multiple racks.

• Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like

cookies, biscuits, and breads.

• When using any single rack, use rack position 5 so that

the food is in the center of the oven.

• When using two oven racks, place in positions 2 and 7

(

Figure 18) and place bakeware as shown in Figure 19.

• When cooking with three oven racks, place racks on

positions 2, 5, and 8.

• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny

bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven

temperature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of

some foods. Shiny bakeware is recommended for

cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• Glass cookware is a slow heat conductor. May require

reducing oven temperature.

• Use pans or cookware with low sides. This allows the

air to circulate around food evenly.

• Unless the recipe is written for convection cooking,

reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s

recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder

of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum

recommended cook time.

Setting Convection Broil

Use this mode for thicker cuts of meat, fish, and poultry. The

convection broiling gently browns the exterior and seals in

the juices. Convection broiling uses the broil element and a

fan to circulate the heat continuously within the oven.

The oven can be programmed for convection broiling at any

temperature between 400°F to 550°F.

Convection broiling tips:

• For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2

minutes. Always pull the rack out to the stop position

before turning or removing food.

• Always use a broiler pan and its grid when broiling. It

keeps grease away from the high heat of the broil

element.

• Do not use the broil pan without the insert. Do not cover

the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could

catch fire. Broil one side until the food is browned; turn

and cook on the second side. Season and serve.

• Convection broiling is generally faster than conventional

broiling. Check for doneness at the minimum recom

mended time.

To set a convection broil temperature of 500°F:

1. Arrange oven racks first. Press convect. The display

will show 350 and convect and bake will flash.

NOTE

OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Broil

Use the Broil function to cook meats that require direct

exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The

Broil feature is preset to broil at 550° but may be set at any

temperature between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).

IMPORTANT! Broil Auto Shut Off: If oven door is open

for more than one minute during Broil the control will beep.

If door is not closed it will turn off Broil element after another

30 seconds.

• Do not use the broiler pan without the insert (Figure 22).

Do not cover the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil;

the exposed grease could ignite. The insert is slotted

and allows hot grease from the meat to drain away into

the broiler pan

• Broil with oven door closed.

• Broiling can produce smoke. If smoke is excessive,

place food further away from the broil element.

• The broil pan with broil pan insert allow the grease to

drain away from the high heat of the broiler and help

avoid spatter and reduce smoking.

• If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with the appli-

ance, they may be purchased at frigidaire.com

• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop

position before turning or removing foo

• For optimum browning results, fully preheat for 5

minutes before placing meat in the oven.

• Refer to Table 3 for the type and amount of meat being

prepared.

To set broil:

1. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan

on the rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly

under the broiler element. If preheating the broil burner,

position the broiler pan with food after step 4.

2. Place broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place

the food on the broiler pan insert.

3. Broil with the oven door closed.

4. Press broil. 550°F will appear in the display.

5. Press START.

6. Press OFF when cooking is completed or to cancel

broil.

Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed

and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, use a fire extin

guisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be

explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread

and cause personal injury

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a

hot oven. When broiling, the oven interior, oven racks and

cooktop will become hot enough to cause burns.

Convection Roast

Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convec-

tion fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry.

Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, seal

ing in juices and flavors.

Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the

outside while staying moist inside.

Before roasting See “Convection roasting temperature and

time recommendations” as listed in Table 2.

Important:

• Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.

• Do not cover the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil;

the exposed grease could ignite.

To use convection roast at a temperature of 350°F

(177°C):

1. Place oven rack on the bottom or next to the bottom

oven rack position (1).

2. Place the meat on the broiler pan and insert. Make sure

the insert is securely seated on top of the broiler pan.

Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.

3. Place meat (fat side up) on insert

4. Place prepared food on oven rack and slide into oven.

5. Close the door.

6. Press the convect key twice. Roast will appear in the

display.

7. Press start.

8. When cooking is completed or to cancel convection

roast press off.

Figure 24: Rack positions

OVEN CONTROLS

Convection Roasting tips:

• Preheating for convection roast will not be necessary for most meats and poultry.

• Arrange oven racks so large poultry or other cuts of meat are on the lowest oven rack position. on the lowest rack of

the oven. Small cuts of meat and poultry should be cooked on rack position 3 using the flat handle rack.

• Since convection roast cooks faster, you can reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommended time of your

recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.

• Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast recommenda-

tions for additional information.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.

• When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps

prevent grease splatters.

when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set

target temperature.

When active, the probe displays the internal food tempera-

ture which is visible in the display during the cooking

process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to

open the oven door to check the thermometer.

Proper placement of probe in food.

• Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the

center of the thickest part of meat or food (See

Figure 26). For best results, do not allow the probe

temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the

cookware.

• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the

center of lowest large muscle or joint.

• For meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center

of food.

• When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.

• For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor

into the thickest part of the breast (See

Figure 27).

Figure 25: Using the probe

Do not store the probe inside the oven. Use only the

original probe provided. Connecting any other probe or

device could result in damage to the oven control, elec

tronics, and the receptacle.

Before starting self clean, double check that the probe is

removed from the oven interior. Defrost frozen foods

completely before inserting the probe.

Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable or

handles. Always insert and remove the probe using the

provided handles, and always use a pot holder to protect

hands from possible burns.

OVEN CONTROLS

To set probe:

1. Insert the probe into the food. Place prepared food on

the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven.

2. Plug the connector end of the probe all the way into the

probe receptacle while the oven is still cool. The recep

tacle is located on the upper left front oven cavity wall

(See

Figure 25).

3. When the probe is set, an acceptance tone will sound,

the probe icon will illuminate, and the actual probe

temperature appears in the display (See

Figure 28).

Close the oven door.

4. Press probe key once. Enter the desired target food

temperature using the numeric keys and set tempera

ture for food type. The minimum setting is 140ºF (60ºC);

the maximum is 210ºF (99ºC). Default is 170ºF (77ºC).

5. Press start to accept the target temperature.

6. Set for quick preheat, bake, convect bake, convect

roast, or convect convert, and if necessary adjust the

oven temperature accordingly.

7. The control will provide three beeps when the internal

target temperature is reached. The oven will automati

cally change to a keep warm setting and the actual

probe temperature will remain in the display. Keep

warm will maintain the oven temperature at 170°F

(77°C) for 3 hours unless otherwise cancelled.

To stop cooking at any time, press off.

Note: To change the target temperature while cooking,

press the probe key once. Use the numeric keys to change

the temperature. Press the start key to accept any change.

Figure 28: Probe set showing probe temperature

During cooking the internal food temperature will display

by default. To see the target temperature press the probe

key once. After 6 seconds the display will revert to the

internal food temperature.

To assure accuracy, do not remove the probe from the

food or receptacle until the desired internal temperature is

reached. If the probe is removed from the receptacle only,

the probe feature will cancel but the oven will continue to

cook. If the probe is removed from the food only, the

probe feature will remain active and may eventually

generate a probe too hot message.

Setting the Sabbath Feature (for use on the Jewish

Sabbath and Holidays)

For further assistance, guidelines for

proper usage, and a complete list of

models with the Sabbath feature, please

visit the web at www.star-k.org.

This appliance provides special settings

for use when observing the Jewish Sab

bath/Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or

visual display changes on the oven control. Bake heating is

the only cooking feature available while in the Sabbath

mode. Oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.

You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s)

needed for the oven, the Bake Time, and Delay Start

options (if needed). Any settings made prior to setting the

Sabbath mode will be visible in the displays. The Bake Time

option, if set prior to the Sabbath mode, will give one

audible alert at the end of Bake Time.

The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 6 hour

energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the

cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking fea

tures are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath

mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to

verify the cancellation.

If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate

them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light

is turned on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light

will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the

oven lights are turned off. The oven door will not activate

the interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or

closed.

It is recommended that any oven temperature modification

made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with two

presses of the START key. This will insure the oven

remains on even if an attempt is made to set the oven

temperature outside of its temperature range.

If the oven temperature is set outside of the temperature

range, the oven will default to the nearest available temper

ature. Try to set the desired oven temperature again.

Important:

• Do not attempt to activate any other oven function

except Bake while the Sabbath feature is active. The

following keys will function correctly when the Sabbath

feature is active: 0-9 number keypad, Bake, START,

and off. All other keys should not be used once the

Sabbath feature is active.

• You may change the oven temperature once baking has

started. Press bake, use the numeric keypad to enter

the oven temperature change (170°F to 550F°), and

press START (for Jewish Holidays only).

• Remember that the oven control will no longer provide

audible tones or display any further changes when the

Sabbath feature is active.

• The oven will shut-off automatically after completing a

bake time, delay start, or keep warm and therefore may

only be used once during the Sabbath/Jewish Holidays.

• If a delay start time longer than 11 hours and 59

minutes is desired, set the oven control for the 24 hour

day display mode setting. See

“Setting 12 Hour or 24

Hour display mode” on page 15 for more information.

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than

one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in

food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil

such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled

in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not

stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking

begins, and should be removed promptly when finished

cooking.

uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommen

dations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or

too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust the control so

the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven temperature

displayed.

Important: Do not use oven thermometers such as those

found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings

inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as

much as 20 to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.

The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F

(+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory cali

brated settings.

To increase or decrease the oven temperature by 20°F:

1. Press and hold Bake until the control produces an

range from plus (+)19°C to minus (-) 19°C.

All of the above user settings will be restored to the

factory default settings.

CAUTION

OVEN CONTROLS

Self Clean

Read before starting Self Clean. Be sure to read all follow-

ing caution and important statements before starting a self

clean cycle.

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures

(well above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate

soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash

you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. This

function can be programmed for 2, 3, or 4 hours.

Important notes:

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories

from oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the

oven racks are not removed they may discolor.

• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including

cookware, utensils, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum

foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self

clean cycle and will melt.

• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in

or around any part of the oven interior.

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner

outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the

front center of the oven bottom (

Figure 33). These

areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap

and water prior to starting Self Clean.

• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven

bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting

a Self Clean cycle. To clean use hot, soapy water and a

cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when

subjected to high temperatures.

• Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content

(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie

fillings) to remain on the surface as they may leave a

dull spot even after cleaning.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material

in the gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should

be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the oven door

gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door

gasket and compromise the performance of the oven.

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an

open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during

the first Self Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the

normal odors.

• Do not attempt to open the oven door when the OVEN

LOCK indicator light is flashing. Allow about 15 seconds

for the motorized door latch mechanism to completely

lock or unlock the oven door.

• When the clean time finishes, the oven door will remain

locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition

to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow

about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you

will be able to open the oven door.

• Do not leave small children unattended near appli-

ance. During self clean cycle, the outside of the oven

can become very hot and cause burns if touched.

• Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom, or any

part of the range with aluminum foil. This will cause

permanent damage to the oven interior and destroy

heat distribution, and will melt to the oven interior.

• Do not force the oven door open. This will damage

the automatic door locking system. Use caution when

opening the oven door after the self clean cycle ends.

The oven may still be very hot and cause burns. To

avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven when

opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to

fumes given off during the self clean cycle of any

range. Move birds to a well ventilated room.

• The oven bake and broil elements may appear to

have cooled after they have been turned off. These

elements may still be hot and burns may occur if

elements are touched before they have cooled.To

avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven when

opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.

the Delay Start for a Self Clean can only be

programmed to start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes

after the time showing in the display (be sure to set the

clock to current time before programming a delay start).

To set a Delay Start Self Clean to begin 12 or more

hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59 minutes) after the

time of setting, be sure to first set the control in the 24

Hr display mode.

• If Self Clean was active and then interrupted by a power

failure or cancelled before the oven was thoroughly

cleaned, it may be necessary to run another Self Clean

cycle.

• If the oven temperature was high enough when Self

Clean was interrupted the oven control may not allow

another Self Clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.

Do not force the oven door open when self-clean is

active. This can damage the automatic door-locking

system.

Use caution when opening the oven door after self

cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause

burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the

oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or

steam to escape.

CAUTION

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool.

Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleanings will reduce the number of

major cleanings later.

Surface Type Recommendation

Aluminum and Vinyl • Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

Painted body parts

Painted decorative trims

Painted and plastic control knobs

and control panel

Surface burners

Burner grates

• Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar

and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth.

Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. Do not spray liquids directly on

the oven control and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel.

Excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other

liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels - they will damage the

finish.

• To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the

shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft;

then push the knob into place.

• Your oven finish may be made with stainless steel (some models). Clean the stainless with

warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a

soft clean cloth.

• Do not use any store bought cleaners like stainless steel cleaners or any other types of

cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia. It is recommended to

use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.

Porcelain enamel broiler pan and

insert (available by mail order)

Oven interior (Porcelain)

Door liner and body parts

• Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1

solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-

soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and

then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove

all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.

Oven racks • Oven racks must be removed from oven cavity. Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner

following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

Oven door • Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse

well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the door. Do not immerse the

door in water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do

not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the

outside of the oven door.

Oven door gasket • Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-clean models, the oven door gasket is made of

a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,

damage, or remove this gasket.

to wipe completely after cleaning with a damp paper towel.

CARE AND CLEANING

General Cleaning

Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more

detailed information about cleaning specific parts of the

range.

Important: Before manually cleaning any part of the range,

be sure all controls are turned

off and the range is cool. The

range may be hot and can

cause burns. It is recom-

mended to not use ammonia

to clean the oven. However, if

ammonia is used, the oven

must be thoroughly rinsed

before operating. Provide

adequate ventilation.

Aluminum Foil, Aluminum

Utensils, and Oven Liners

WARNING! Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in

the oven bottom or cover an entire oven 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 trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not use

a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be

hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the

ceramic-glass surface.

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these materials

to the oven cavity and ruin the oven. These types of

materials can also reduce the effectiveness of the air circu

lation in the oven and produce poor baking results. Only use

aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper

installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock

or fire.

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop

can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum

cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the

surface burners under any circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is

much lower than that of other metals. If aluminum pans

are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, the

utensil will be damaged or destroyed.

• Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the

oven racks. During self clean the oven temperature can

become hot enough to melt aluminum cooking utensils

or aluminum foil and could result in permanent damage

to the oven interior and porcelain finish.

Cleaning the Glass Cooktop

Your cooktop is glass with gas sealed burners. To clean the

glass portion of the cooktop follow these directions.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the

glass part of the cooktop. Use a clean paper towel to clean

the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is

cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the

towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the

soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive

cleaning tool, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the

pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose. If

soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade

scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface

(Figure 26). Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning

cream and buff surface clean.

To avoid possible burns do not attempt any of the

cleaning instructions provided below before turning off all

surface burners and allow them to cool.

Figure 34: Use razor to scrape sediment on glass surface

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the Sealed Burners

To avoid possible burns do not attempt any of the cleaning

instructions provided below before turning off all surface

burners and allow them to cool.

To avoid possible burns do not attempt to operate the

surface burners without the burner caps.

Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth

and wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface

burner head ports and slots clean will prevent improper

ignition and an uneven flame. See the following sections for

more instructions.

To clean burner caps:

1. Remove caps from burner heads after they have

cooled. Clean the cap with hot soapy water and dry

thoroughly.

2. For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy water to

the burner head (Figure 28). Allow time for the soils to

soften.

3. Use a small cleaning brush such as an old toothbrush to

clean all over the burner head (Figure 28) and to clean

the slots and holes in the burner.

4. Use a needle or paper clip to clean out the ignition port

(

Figure 36).

5. Wipe burner head clean with a soft, clean cloth, sponge,

or scratch-free cleaning pad.

6. Before using the cooktop again make sure the burner

caps are properly placed and seated on the burner

heads (

Figure 37). When placed correctly, the burner

cap is centered on the burner head and will click into

place on the burner head. You can wiggle the cap to

test placement, it should not move off the burner head.

Important: During cleaning, keep debris and liquids out of

the orifice port.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners, oven cleaners, or steel

wool on the cooktop around the burner head. These

products can damage the cooktop finish.

• The burner head does not need to be removed to be

cleaned. Only qualified service professionals should

disassemble the burner head from the cooktop surface.

• Do not attempt to disassemble any part of the appli-

ance.

CARE AND CLEANING

Broiler Pan Cleaning Tips

• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler

pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed.

• Use potholders or oven mitts because the broiler pan is

extremely hot. Pour off grease.

• Soak the pan in hot, soapy water.

• Clean the broiler pan and insert as soon as possible

after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool

pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the insert.

• To make cleaning easier, the bottom of the broiler pan

may be lined with aluminum foil. Do not cover the broiler

insert with foil.

To clean burner grates:

• Clean when the grates are cool.

• Use nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mild

abrasive cleanser.

• Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean

immediately after the grates are cool.

• Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.

Replacing Oven Lights

CARE AND CLEANING

Removing and Replacing the Oven Door

To remove the oven door:

1. Open oven door completely, horizontal with floor.

2. Pull up the lock located on each hinge support toward

front of the oven until the lock stops. You may have to

apply a little upward pressure on the lock to pull it up

(

Figure 41 and Figure 42).

3. Grasp the door by the sides, and close the door until the

door frame makes contact with the unlocked hinges.

4. Pull the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the

top of the door toward the appliance to completely

disengage the hinge levers (

Figure 43).

To Replace Oven Door:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door

sides. Do not use the oven door handle (

Figure 43).

2. Hold the oven door at the same angle as the removal

position. Carefully insert the hinge levers into the oven

frame until you feel the hinge levers are seated into the

hinge notches. The hinge arms must be fully seated into

the hinge notches before the oven door can be fully

opened. (

Figure 43).

3. Fully open the oven door, horizontal with floor

(

Figure 40).

4. Push the door hinge locks up toward and into the oven

frame on both left and right oven door hinges to the

locked position (

Figure 41).

5. Close the oven door.

Special door care instructions - The door is heavy. For

safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the inside

of the door facing down.

Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Do not

close the oven door until all the oven racks are positioned

correctly in the cavity. Do not hit the glass with bakeware

or any other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or

stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an

increased risk of breakage at a later time.
