Using the surface burners.

How to Light a Surface Burner

Your surface burners are lit by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames. Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the LITE position. After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size. To turn the burner off, turn the knob clockwise as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

• In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way. Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
• Check to be sure the burner you turn on is the one you want to use.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
• The smaller burner (right rear position) will give the best simmer results. The lowest setting of the burner has a small flame to provide simmering capability. To simmer foods, set the cooktop control knob to the lowest setting that will maintain the desired simmer. If simmering on one burner and the other burners are turned on, the gas flow of the simmering burner may have to be adjusted.

How to Select Flame Size

• For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware.
• Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.
• Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.

Wok This Way

• We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok, available at your local retail stores, or use the Wok Holder accessory with traditional round bottomed woks.
• The Wok Holder accessory, model JXWK, can be ordered from your appliance dealer. The Wok Holder fits on top of the range grate to provide support and proper air circulation for traditional round bottom woks only. Do not use flat bottomed woks with the Wok Holder. Do not use a wok on any other support ring. Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This could be dangerous to your health.
• Do not try to use such woks without the ring unless you are using the Wok Holder. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Cookware

• Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
• Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
• Glass: There are two types of glass cookware: those for oven use only and those for topof-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and tea pots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.
• Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.
• Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
• Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Using the oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin…

• The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.
• When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.
• To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
• To replace, place the end of the shelf (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.

Electric Ignition

• The oven burner and broil burner are lit by electric ignition.
• To light either burner, press the pad for the desired function and press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed. The burner should ignite within 30–90 seconds.
• After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the burner cycles—off completely, then on with a full flame—to keep the oven temperature controlled.

Power Outage

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the electric ignition oven during an electrical power outage.

• Neither the oven nor the broiler can be lit during an electrical power outage. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.
• If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored.

Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear of the range. Do not block these ducts when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation—they may become hot.

• Vent openings and nearby surfaces may become hot. Do not touch them.
• Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.
• Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent.
• Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.
• Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

1. Press the BAKE pad.
2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set the oven temperature. To change the oven temperature during the Bake cycle, press the BAKE pad and set the new temperature.
3. Press the START pad. When the oven starts to heat, the changing temperature will be in the display. The display starts changing once the temperature reaches 100°F.
4. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when baking is finished.

NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Preheating and Pan Placement

• Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
• For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
• Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 11 ⁄2″ between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall.

Aluminum Foil

• You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
• Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover.
• Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.
• A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Oven Moisture

• As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass.
• These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

1. Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
2. Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide. Broiling should always be done with the oven door closed.
3. Press the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil. To change to LO Broil, press the BROIL HI/LO pad again.
4. Press the START pad.
5. When broiling is finished, press the CLEAR/OFF pad.

To Cancel the Timer

• Press the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF pad twice.

Using the timed baking and roasting features.

NOTE: Foods that spoil easily–such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork–should not be allowed to sit for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

The low temperature zone of this range (between 170°F. and 200°F.) is available to keep hot cooked foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than 2 hours at these low temperatures may spoil.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Thermostat

1. Press the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF.
2. Press the BAKE pad. A two digit number shows in the display.
3. The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35°F. hotter or (-) 35°F. cooler. Press the INCREASE pad to increase the temperature in 1 degree increments. Press the DECREASE pad to decrease the temperature in 1 degree increments.
4. When you have made the adjustment, press the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

• Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
• Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
• Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Using the self-cleaning oven.

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Before a Clean Cycle

• The oven must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle.
• We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.
• Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.
• The oven shelves can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.
• Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the top, sides and outside of the oven door with soap and water.
• Make sure the oven light bulb cover (on some models) is in place and the Wipe up heavy soil on the oven oven light is off.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

1. Press the SELF CLEAN pad.
2. Using the INCREASE or DECREASE pads, enter the desired clean time, if a time other than 4 hours is needed. Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours. You can change the clean time to any time between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending on how dirty your oven is.
3. Press the START pad.

The door locks automatically. The display will show the clean time remaining. It will not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the LOCKED DOOR light goes off.

When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, open the door.

• The words LOCK DOOR will flash and the oven control will signal if you set the clean cycle and forget to close the oven door.
• To stop a clean cycle, press the CLEAR/OFF pad. When the LOCKED DOOR light goes off and the oven has cooled below the locking temperature, open the door.

How to Delay the Start of Cleaning

1. Press the SELF CLEAN pad.
2. Using the INCREASE or DECREASE pads, enter the desired clean time.
3. Press the DELAY START pad. The earliest start time you can set will appear in the display.
4. Using the INCREASE or DECREASE pads, enter the time of day you want the clean cycle to start.
5. Press the START pad.

The door locks automatically. The display will show the start time. It will not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the LOCKED DOOR light goes off.

When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, open the door.

After a Clean Cycle

You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soapfilled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.

• You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.
• While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, press the SELF CLEAN pad.
• If the shelves become hard to slide, wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil.

Care and Cleaning

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury

How to Remove Packaging Tape

• To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil.
• Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from all chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Control Knobs

• Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.
• Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel.
• The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.

Burner Assembly

• The burner assemblies should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Turn all controls off before removing burner parts.
• The burner grates, burner heads and burner caps can be removed for easy cleaning. Removing them gives you access to the burner bowls.
• The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed beyond the surface of the burner bowl. When cleaning the burner bowl, be careful not to snag the electrode of the spark igniter with your cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur. To avoid snagging a cloth on the spark igniter, leave the burner heads in place when cleaning the burner bowls.
• Be careful not to push in any cooktop controls while cleaning the burner bowls. A slight electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.
• Wash burner parts with an all-purpose non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Soak stubborn soil. Dry them with a cloth—do not reassemble while wet.
• If the igniter orifice gets dirty or clogged you may use a small sewing needle to remove the soil.
• To reassemble, replace the burner head first, then the burner cap and finally the burner grate.

Burner Grates

• Porcelain enamel burner grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
• Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may also use abrasive cleaners and steel wool pads to clean burner grates. Dry the grates with a cloth— don’t put them back on the range wet.
• To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them soak several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well, and dry.
• To prevent rusting, apply a light coating of cooking oil to the grates.
• Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.
• Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models)

• The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acidresistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.
• If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.
• For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

Glass Cooktop (on some models)

• To keep the cooktop looking its best, wipe up any spills as they occur. This will keep them from burning on and becoming more difficult to remove.
• As soon as the cooktop is cool, wash the glass surface with a cloth moistened with warm, soapy water; rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. You can use any liquid household detergent.
• Do not use abrasive materials such as metal pads, cleansing powder and scouring pads—they may scratch the surface.
• Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach or chemical oven cleaners.

CAUTION: Do not cook on or clean a broken or cracked cooktop. Cleaning solutions and spillovers penetrating the cooktop can create a risk of electric shock. Call for a service technician immediately.

Oven Shelves

• Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle. You can wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make the shelves slide more easily

Oven Vent

• The oven is vented through an opening at the rear of the cooktop.
• Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or any other material. This would prevent the oven vent from working properly.
• The vent grille may discolor during selfcleaning. Clean the oven vent grill with a non-abrasive cleaner such as Bon Ami®.

Lift-Off Oven Door

(appearance may vary)

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

The oven door is removable for cleaning.

Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door, open it to the special stop position. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

Do not place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges and slowly lower it over both hinges.

To clean the inside of the door:

• Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand.
• The area outside the gasket and the front frame can be cleaned with a soapfilled steel wool or plastic pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.
• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door

Removable Storage Drawer

The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable material in the drawer.

Do not overload the storage drawer. If the drawer is too heavy, it may slip off the track when opened. To open the drawer, grasp the center of the handle and pull straight out.

To remove: Pull the drawer straight out and lift over the guide stops.

To replace:

• Lift over the guide stops and slide the drawer into place.
• To clean both the inside and the outside: Wipe with soap and water. Rinse well.
• Do not use cleansing powders or harsh abrasives which may scratch the surface.

Painted Surfaces

• Painted surfaces include the sides and the drawer front.
• Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

Broiler Pan & Grid

• Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a selfcleaning oven.
• After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease from the pan into a proper container.
• Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.
• If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.
• Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.
• Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in a dishwasher.
• Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the range.

Oven Light Bulb

The light bulb is located on the back oven wall. Before replacing the bulb, disconnect the electric power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or unplug the range from the electric outlet.

Let the bulb cool completely before removing it. Do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If you do, the bulb will break

To remove:

1. Remove the 3 screws in the cover ring.
2. Detach the light cover assembly and remove the bulb.

To replace:

1. Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb. NOTE: A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a standard 40-watt household bulb.
2. Install the light cover assembly. Replace the 3 screws and tighten, making sure the cover fits flush with the oven wall.
3. Reconnect the electric power to the range.

Removable Oven Bottom

The oven bottom can be removed to clean large spills, and to enable you to reach the oven burner.

The oven bottom must be replaced before using the self-clean cycle.

To remove:

1. Slide the tab at the center front of the oven bottom to the left.
2. Lift the oven bottom up and out.

To replace:

1. Slip the oven bottom into the oven so the tabs in the rear of the oven bottom fit into the slots in the oven back.
2. Lower the front of the oven bottom into place and slide the front tab to the right to lock the oven bottom into place.

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers.

Hot fruit fillings or foods that are acidic (such as tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface.

To protect the oven bottom surface, place a piece of aluminum foil slightly larger than the baking dish or a small cookie sheet on a lower shelf or under the baking dish to catch any spillovers.

Do not completely cover a shelf with aluminum foil as this would cause uneven heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should not be placed on the oven bottom.

If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow the oven to cool first. You can clean the oven bottom with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser or soapfilled abrasive pads. Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning

If the range is removed for cleaning or any reason, make sure the chain is reattached.

Anti-Tip Device

1. Before placing range in the counter, notice the location of the stability bracket which is already attached to the back of the range. This location should work for most installations. However, it may be more convenient to hook the stability chain to the unit when the stability bracket is attached to the upper set of holes in the back of range.

The upper level set of holes is intended for use with a backsplash kit. If the backsplash is not being used, make sure that there are no structural supports for the countertop which will interfere with the stability bracket when located in the upper set of holes.

2. Fasten one end of the stability chain to the floor or wall with the long screw and washer supplied.

NOTE: If attaching to masonry, you can buy suitable screws and anchors at hardware stores. Use a masonry drill to drill the required holes.

Make certain the screw is going into the wall plate at the base of the wall or one of the studs in the base of the wall.

Whether you attach the chain to the wall or floor, be certain that the screw is in at least 3/4 inch thickness of wood other than baseboard and that there are no electrical wires or plumbing in the area which the screw could penetrate. Attach the stability chain in a location which will allow the chain to be in line with the bracket side to aide as much as possible when attached to the unit. Test to see if the chain is securely fastened by tugging on the chain.

3. Temporarily attach the loose end of the chain to the rear of the countertop with the tape from the packaging.

4. Place the range in the counter cutout leaving just enough room between the back of the range and the wall to reach the stability bracket.

5. Hook the loose end of the chain onto the bracket by slipping the nearest link of the chain into the slot in the bracket. Make sure the chain is pulled as tight as possible and that there is no excess slack in the chain after the chain is attached to the bracket.

6. Slide the range all the way back into the counter. Once the range is pushed back in place, there will be a small amount of slack in the chain. This is normal.

CAUTION: Excessive slack in the chain could allow the range to tip over

Control Panel

• It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleansers on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.
