Special features of your oven control (on some models).
Your new touch pad control has additional features that you may choose to use. The following are the features and how you may activate them.
The special feature modes can only be activated while the display is showing the time of day clock. They remain in the control’s memory until the steps are repeated.
When the display shows your choice, press the START pad. The special features will remain in memory after a power failure.
Appearance may vary. | 12 Hour Shut-Off With this feature, should you forget and leave the oven on, the control will automatically turn off the oven after 12 hours during baking functions or after 3 hours during a broil function. If you wish to turn off this feature, follow the steps below.
|
Appearance may vary. | Fahrenheit or Centigrade Temperature Selection Your oven control is set to use the Fahrenheit temperature selections but you may change this to use the Centigrade selections.
|
Appearance may vary. | Control Lockout Your control will allow you to lock down the touch pads so they cannot be activated when pressed.
When this feature is on and the touch pads are pressed the control will beep and the display will show LOC. NOTE: The control lockout mode will not affect the CLOCK, KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF and OVEN LIGHT touch pads. |
Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
The oven has 5 shelf positions. It also has a special low shelf position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a large turkey | 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 (stoplocks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in. |
If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking or roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only
The oven has a special low shelf (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when roasting a large turkey. The shelf is not designed to slide out at this position. | How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting 1.Press the BAKE pad. 2. Press the + or – pad (on some models) or the number pads (on some models) until the desired temperature is displayed. The oven will start automatically. The word ON and 100° will be displayed. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound. To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, press the BAKE pad and then the + or – or number pads to get the new temperature. 3. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when baking is finished and then remove the food from the oven. |
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.
Using the clock and timer.
Not all features are on all models.
Make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day | To Set the Clock The clock must be set to the correct time of day for the automatic oven timing functions to work properly. The time of day cannot be changed during a timed baking or selfcleaning cycle. 1.Press the CLOCK pad. 2. Depending on which model you have, you will set the clock by pressing either the number pads or + or – pads. Press the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to set 12:34, press the number pads 1, 2, 3 and 4 in that order. If number pads are not pressed within one minute after you press the CLOCK pad, the display reverts to the original setting. If this happens, press the CLOCK pad and reenter the time of day. 3. Press the START pad. This enters the time and starts the clock. To check the time of day when the display is showing other information, simply press the CLOCK pad. The time of day shows until another pad is pressed. |
The timer is a minute timer only. The CLEAR/OFF pad does not affect the timer | To Set the Timer The timer does not control oven operations. The maximum setting on the timer is 11 hours and 59 minutes. 1.Press the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF pad. 2. Press the + or – or number pads to set the time. For example, to enter 2 hours and 45 minutes, touch 2, 4 and 5 in that order. If you make a mistake, press the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF pad and begin again. 3. Press the START pad. After pressing the START pad, SET disappears; this tells you the time is counting down, although the display does not change until one minute has passed. 4. When the timer reaches :00, the control will beep 3 times followed by one beep every 6 seconds until the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF pad is pressed. The 6 second tone can be canceled by following the steps in the Special features of your oven control section under Tones at the End of a Timed Cycle. Display then shows the time of day |
Power Outage
If a flashing time is in the display, you have experienced a power failure. Reset the clock.
To reset the clock, press the CLOCK pad. Enter the correct time of day by pressing the + or – or the appropriate number pads. Press the START pad.
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 |
CAUTION: Do not operate the burner without all burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped) in place. Clean these holes thoroughly on each burner | Standard Twin Burner Assemblies (on some models) On models with standard twin burners, the cooktop lifts up for easy access. Turn all controls OFF before removing burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped). The burner grates and drip pans (if so equipped) can be lifted off, making them easy to clean. The holes in the surface burners of your range must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and an even, unhampered flame. You should clean the surface burners routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog these holes. Wipe off surface burners. If heavy spillover occurs, remove the surface burners from the range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the cooktop and then lift out the surface burners. To remove burned-on food, soak the surface burner in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water. Soak the surface burner for 20 to 30 minutes. | For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft Scrub® brand or Bon Ami® brand. Rinse well to remove any traces of the cleanser that might clog the surface burner openings. Do not use steel wool because it will clog the surface burner openings and scratch the surface burners. If the holes become clogged, clean them with a sewing needle or twist-tie. Before putting the surface burner back, shake out excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the range, making sure it is properly seated and level. Check the flame pattern of each burner. If the flames are “jumpy” (not steady), clean the holes again with a sewing needle or twist-tie. |
Drip Pans (on some models) Remove the grates and lift out the drip pans. Drip pans can be cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand. When replacing the drip pans, make sure they are in the correct position. To get rid of burned-on food, place them in a covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if necessary. CAUTION: Do not clean the drip pans in a selfcleaning oven. |
CAUTION: Do not operate the burner without all burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped) in place. | Sealed Burner Assemblies (on some models) Turn all controls OFF before removing the burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped). The burner grates, caps, burner heads and drip pans (if so equipped) can be lifted off, making them easy to clean. The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the burner head is removed. When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware. |
Use a sewing needle or twist-tie to unclog the small hole in the burner head. After cleaning, make sure the slot in the burner head is positioned over the electrode. | Burner Heads (on sealed burners only) NOTE: Before removing the burner heads and caps, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning. For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the section that fits over the electrode is kept open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it. The slits in the burner heads of your range must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame. You should clean the surface burners routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog these openings. To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for 20-30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush. Before putting the burner head back, shake out excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Replace the burner heads and caps. Make sure that the heads and caps are replaced in the correct location. There is one small, 2 medium and one large head and cap. NOTE: On some models there are 2 large, one medium and one small head and cap. |
Burner Caps (on sealed burners only) Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. Dry them in a warm oven or with a cloth— don’t reassemble them wet. Replace the burner caps. Make sure that caps are replaced on the correct size burner. There is one small, 2 medium and one large cap. NOTE: On some models there are 2 large, one medium and one small head and cap |
Burner Grates Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. After cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them in a warm oven for a few minutes. Don’t put the grates back on the range while they are wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners. To prevent rusting on cast iron grates, apply a light coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates. 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. | To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Let sit overnight (or approximately 12 hours), then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse grates thoroughly and dry completely before replacing them on the range top. 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. You will notice this sooner with lighter color grates. CAUTION: Do not clean the grates in a dishwasher or in a self-cleaning oven. |
Cooktop Surface To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set. When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc., wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth. NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. |
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately.
We don’t recommend using aluminum foil on the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if the holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor baking performance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning.
Lift the door straight up and off the hinges. 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. | Lift-Off Oven DoorThe oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door. To remove the door, open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges. NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers. 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. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time. If the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out. To clean the inside of the door:
To clean the outside of the door:

Broiler Pan and Grid After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out 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. 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. CAUTION: Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-cleaning oven. |
Wire cover holder. | Oven Light Replacement (on some models)CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely. The oven light bulb is covered with a removable glass cover that is held in place with a bail-shaped wire. Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach cover easily. To remove:

|
Removable Warming Drawer (on some models)Before performing any adjustments, cleaning or service, disconnect the range electrical power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker. Make sure the warming drawer heating element is cool. Most cleaning can be done with the drawer in place. However, the drawer may be removed if further cleaning is needed. Use soap and warm water to thoroughly clean. To remove the warming drawer:
To replace the warming drawer:
|
The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under the range. | Removable Storage Drawer (on some models)The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable material in the drawer. The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under the range. Clean the storage drawer with a damp cloth or sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or scouring pads. To remove storage drawer:
To replace storage drawer:
|
Vent appearance and location vary. | Oven Air Vents Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range, under the kick panel or storage drawer (depending on the model). |
Some models have dual support rods that will hold the cooktop up while you clean underneath it. | Lift-Up Cooktop (on models with standard twin burners)Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire. To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up. To raise the cooktop:
Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. If you removed your surface burners while cleaning, make sure they are properly seated when replacing them. After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be careful not to pinch your fingers). |
Pull the knob straight off the stem. | Control Panel and Knobs It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. 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 cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well. The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. If knob is difficult to remove, place a towel or dishcloth between the knob and control panel and pull gently. Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution. Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth. |
Oven Shelves Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth. NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you begin the self-clean cycle. |
Brushed Chrome Cooktop (on some models)
Clean the brushed chrome top with warm, soapy water or Bon Ami® brand cleanser and immediately dry it with a clean, soft cloth. Take care to dry the surface following the “grain.”
To help prevent finger marks after cleaning, spread a thin film of baby oil on the surface. Wipe away excess oil with a clean, soft cloth.
Warming Drawer Rack Clean the rack with detergent and water. After cleaning, rinse the rack with clean water and dry with a clean cloth. |
Fluorescent Top Light (on some models) CAUTION: Do not touch the bulb with wet hands or when the bulb is hot. Never wipe the light area with a wet cloth. Electrical power must be shut off if you have to replace the bulb
