SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and

requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon

monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or

LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

■ Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent poor

air circulation.

■ Be sure all packaging materials are

removed from the range before operating it

to prevent fire or smoke damage should the

packaging material ignite.

■ Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by

a qualified service technician or installer for

the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be

used. Your range can be converted for use

with either type of gas. See the Installation of

the range section.

■

WARNING: These adjustments must

be made by a qualified service technician

in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions and all codes and requirements

of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure

to follow these instructions could result in

serious injury or property damage. The

qualified agency performing this work

assumes responsibility for the conversion.

■ After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor

coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the range over vinyl tile or

linoleum that cannot withstand such type

of use. Never install it directly over interior

kitchen carpeting.

■ Do not leave children alone or unattended

where a range is hot or in operation.

They could be seriously burned.

■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the oven door, lower oven drawer,

warming drawer or cooktop. They could

damage the range and even tip it over,

causing severe personal injury.

■

CAUTION: Items of interest to

children should not be stored in cabinets

above a range or on the backsplash of a

range—children climbing on the range to

reach items could be seriously injured.

■ Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when

reaching for items stored in cabinets over the

range. Flammable material could be ignited

if brought in contact with flame or hot oven

surfaces and may cause severe burns.

■ Do not store flammable materials in an

oven, a range drawer or near a cooktop.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick

up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner

by covering the pan completely with

a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or

foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or,

if available, by using a multi-purpose dry

chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flame in the upper oven or lower oven

drawer can be smothered completely by

closing the oven door or drawer and turning

the control to off or by using a multi-

purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

■ Let the burner grates and other surfaces

cool before touching them or leaving them

where children can reach them.

■ 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 warming drawer, lower oven drawer or

kick panel.

■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors

can lead to broken or shattered glass.

SURFACE BURNERS

Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms

large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain

the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since

heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped

and remain cool.

■ Always use the LITE position when igniting

the top burners and make sure the burners

have ignited.

■ Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

■ Adjust the top burner flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the

cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

■ Use only dry pot holders— moist or damp

pot holders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from steam. Do not let pot holders

come near open flames when lifting

cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky

cloth in place of a pot holder.

■ When using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for top-of-range cooking.

■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn

cookware handles toward the side or back

of the range without extending over

adjacent burners.

■ Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

■ 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.

■ If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating or

as fats melt slowly.

■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

■ Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling

the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers

when food is added.

■ Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you

do flame foods under the hood, turn the

fan on.

■ Do not use a wok on the cooking surface

if the wok has a round metal ring that is

placed over the burner grate to support the

wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may

damage the burner grate and burner head.

Also, it may cause the burner to work

improperly. This may cause a carbon

monoxide level above that allowed by

current standards, resulting in a health

hazard.

■ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh

foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and

over the sides of the pan.

■ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

■ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

■ Keep all plastics away from the surface

burners.

■ To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are

at the OFF position and all grates are cool

before attempting to remove them.

■ If range is located near a window, do not

hang long curtains that could blow over the

surface burners and create a fire hazard.

■ If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

■ Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

■ Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop

can lead to damage and improper operation

of the range.

WARNING!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

■ Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before

self-cleaning operation.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove any

broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware,

probe and any aluminum foil.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

■ Nickel oven shelves (on some models)

should be removed from the oven before

beginning the self-clean cycle.

■ Gray porcelain-coated oven shelves (on some

models) may be cleaned in the oven during

the self-clean cycle.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s

Manual.

■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care

should be taken not to rub, damage or move

the gasket.

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,

turn the oven off and disconnect the power

supply. Have it serviced by a qualified

technician.

■ Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial

oven cleaner or oven liner of any kind

should be used in or around any part of

the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will

damage the inside of the oven when the

self-clean cycle is used.

SELF-CLEANING THE UPPER OVEN

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to

at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodborne illness.

■ The purpose of the warming drawer and

the WARM ZONE setting of the lower oven

drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at

serving temperature. Always start with hot

food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked

in the warming drawer or the WARM ZONE

setting of the lower oven drawer.

■ Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not leave paper products, plastics,

canned food, or combustible materials in

the drawer.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in

or near your drawer.

■ Do not warm food in the drawer for more

than two hours.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

■ Do not touch the heating element or the

interior surface of the drawer. These

surfaces may be hot enough to burn.

REMEMBER: The inside surface of the

drawer may be hot when the drawer

is opened.

■ Use care when opening the drawer. Open

the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.

Hot air or steam which escapes can cause

burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower

oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat

insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This

will upset the performance of the drawer

and it could damage the interior finish.

■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in the oven can ignite.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■ Place the oven shelves in the desired

position while the oven is cool.

■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also

a precaution against burns from touching

hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The

lowest position is not designed to slide.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

■ Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the

oven except as described in this manual.

Misuse could result in a fire hazard or

damage to the range.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■ Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch fire.

■ Use only glass cookware that is

recommended for use in gas ovens.

■ Always remove any broiler pan from range as

soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the

pan can catch fire if oven is used without

removing the grease from the broiler pan.

■ When broiling, if meat is too close to the

flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to

prevent excessive flare-ups.

■ Make sure any broiler pan is in place

correctly to reduce the possibility of

grease fires.

■ If you should have a grease fire in a broiler

pan, press the CLEAR/OFF pad, and keep

the oven door closed to contain fire until

it burns out.

■ For safety and proper cooking performance,

always bake and broil with the oven door

closed.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can

cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

UPPER OVEN

WARNING:

NEVER cover any

slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom

or cover an entire 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 also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

Make sure all the surface burners are

placed in their respective positions.

Push the control knob in and turn it to

the LITE position.

You will hear a little clicking noise—

the sound of the electric spark igniting

the burner.

Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue

to click.

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.

Push the control knob in and turn it

to the LITE position.

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. When fast heating is desired,

the flame size on a gas burner should

match the cookware you are using.

Flames larger than the bottom of the

cookware will not result in faster heating of

the cookware and could be hazardous.

Before Lighting a Gas Burner

■ Make sure all burners are in place.

■ Make sure all grates on the range are

properly placed before using any burner.

After Lighting a Gas Burner

■ 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.

■ Be sure the burners and grates are cool

before you place your hand, a pot holder,

cleaning cloths or other materials on

them.

Sealed Gas Burners

Your gas range cooktop has five sealed

gas burners. They offer convenience,

cleanability and flexibility to be used in

a wide range of cooking applications.

The smallest burner in the right rear

position is the simmer burner. This burner

can be turned down to LO for a very low

simmer setting. It provides precise cooking

performance for delicate foods such as

sauces or foods that require low heat for a

long cooking time.

The medium (left rear) and the large

(left front) burners are the primary burners

for most cooking. These general-purpose

burners can be turned down from HI to LO

to suit a wide range of cooking needs.

The extra large burner (right front) is the

maximum output burner. Like the other

four burners, it can be turned down

from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking

applications; however, this burner is

designed to quickly bring large amounts of

liquid to a boil. It has a special POWER BOIL

™

setting designed to be used with cookware

10 inches or larger in diameter.

The center oval burner is the largest in

size and is for large oval pots/pans, round

pots/pans 10” or greater in diameter or

with the griddle.

In Case of Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the

gas 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.

Wok This Way

We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller

flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits

flat on the grate. They are available at your local

retail store.

Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.

Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the

ring over the burner or grate may cause the

burner to work improperly, resulting in

carbon monoxide levels above allowable

standards. This could be dangerous to

your health.

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed

gas burners. If you use the stove top grill

on the sealed gas burner, it will cause

incomplete combustion and can result

in exposure to carbon monoxide levels

above allowable current standards.

This can be hazardous to your health.

Top-of-Range 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.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will

give satisfactory results.

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 top-of-range cooking (saucepans,

coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat

very slowly.

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.

Most griddled foods require cooking

on a preheated surface. Preheat griddle

according to the guide below, then switch

to the desired cook setting.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

■ Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods and be

careful of grease spill-over while cooking.

■ Do not use oil on the griddle for extended lengths

of time. Permanent staining and/or craze lines on

the surface could result.

■ Never place or store any items on the griddle,

even when it is not in use. The griddle can

become heated when using the surrounding

burners.

■ Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the

griddle burner on at HI for an extended amount

of time without food can damage the non-stick

coating

■ Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points pr

rough sharp edges which might damage the

griddle surface.

■ Do not cut foods on the griddle.

Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsInstallation Instructions

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 shelf supports (A

through E), 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.

NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out at the

special low shelf (R) position.

The oven has 5 shelf positions.

It also has a special low shelf

position (R) for extra large items,

such as a large turkey.

Power Outage

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the

electric ignition oven during an electrical power

failure.

The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a

power failure. Gas will not flow unless the

glow bar is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power failure

occurs, the oven burner shuts off and

cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This

is because the flow of gas is automatically

stopped and will not resume when power is

restored until the glow bar has reached

operating temperature.

Upper Oven Light

Touch the OVEN LIGHT pad on the upper

control panel to turn the light on or off.

On some models, the OVEN LIGHT switch is

on the lower front control panel.

Upper 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.

■ Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may

become hot if left too close to the vent.

■ Do not leave plastic or flammable items on the

cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left too close

to the vent.

■ Do not leave closed containers on the cooktop.

The pressure in closed containers may increase,

which may cause them to burst.

■ Metal items will become very hot if they are left

on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

Plastic items on the cooktop may

melt if left too close to the vent.

Vent appearance and location vary.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Baking or Roasting

Your oven is not designed for open-door cooking.

Touch the BAKE pad.

Touch the number pads to set the

desired temperature.

Touch the START pad.

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 number pads to

get the new temperature.

Check food for doneness at minimum

time on recipe. Cook longer if

necessary.

Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when

cooking is complete.

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

when convection baking and 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 1

⁄2″ between pans, from

the front, back and sides of the wall.

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.

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 cooking

a large turkey. The shelf is not

designed to slide out at this position.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of

the oven.

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.

Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry

or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without

over-browning them.

The size, weight, thickness,

starting temperature and

your preference of

doneness will affect

broiling times. This guide

is based on meats at

refrigerator temperature.

†The U.S. Department of Agriculture

says “Rare beef is popular, but you

should know that cooking it to only

140°F. means some food poisoning

organisms may survive.” (Source:

Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen

Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.)

The oven has 5 shelf positions.

*See illustration for description of shelf positions.

If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during broiling.

The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Close the door. Always broil with

the door closed.

If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch while cooking with the probe. The latch is used

for self-cleaning only.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature

probe takes the guesswork out of cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.

Use of probes other than the one provided

with this product may result in damage to

the probe.

Use the handles of the probe and plug

when inserting and removing them from

the food and outlet.

■ To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs

to pull on the cable when removing it.

■ To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is

completely defrosted before inserting.

■ To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the

probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.

■ Never leave your probe inside the oven during

a self-cleaning cycle.

■ Do not store the probe in the oven.

The temperature probe has a

skewer-like probe at one end and a

plug at the other end that goes into

the outlet in the oven.

After preparing the meat and placing it on

a trivet or on a broiler pan grid, follow these

directions for proper probe placement.

Insert the probe completely into the meat.

It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.

For roasts with no bone, insert the probe

into the meatiest part of the roast. For

bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into

the center of the lowest large muscle.

Insert the probe into the center of dishes

such as meat loaf or casseroles.

Insert the probe into the meatiest part of

the inner thigh from below and parallel to

the leg of a whole turkey.

How to Set the Upper Oven For Cooking When Using the Probe

Insert the probe into the food.

Plug the probe into the outlet in the

oven. Make sure it’s pushed all the

way in. Close the oven door.

Touch the PROBE pad.

Touch the number pads to set

the desired internal food or meat

temperature between 100°F and 200°F.

Touch the BAKE pad.

Touch the number pads to set the

Using the convection oven. (on some models)

If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during convection cooking. The latch is used for

self-cleaning only.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time

while using convection cooking.

To help you understand the difference

between convection bake and roast and

traditional bake and roast, here are some

general guidelines.

Convection Bake

■ Preheat the oven. See the Using the Oven–

Preheating and Pan Placement section.

■ Ideal for foods cooked on multiple shelves.

■ Good for large quantities of baked foods.

■ Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,

cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food

cake and bread.

The convection fan circulates the heated

air evenly over and around the food.

Convection Roast

■ Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

The convection fan circulates the heated

air evenly over and around the food. Meat

and poultry are browned on all sides as if

they were cooked on a rotisserie. Heated

air will be circulated over, under and

around the food being roasted. The heated

air seals in juices quickly for a moist and

tender product while, at the same time,

creating a rich golden brown exterior.

Roasts or poultry should be cooked on shelf

position (A).

When you are convection roasting, it is

important that you use a broiler pan and

grid for best convection roasting results.

The pan is used to catch grease spills

and the grid is used to prevent grease

spatters.

■ Place the shelf in shelf position (A).

In a convection oven, a fan

circulates hot air over, under and

around the food. This circulating hot

air is evenly distributed throughout

the oven cavity. As a result, foods

are evenly cooked and browned—

often in less time than with regular

heat.

Auto Recipe

™

Conversion

You can use your favorite recipes in the

convection oven.

When using CONVECTION BAKE, the oven will

automatically convert the oven temperature from

regular baking to Convection Bake temperatures.

Using the number pads, enter

the temperature recommended

in the recipe.

Touch the START pad.

The display will show the

temperature you entered from your

recipe. The oven will automatically

convert it to the convection cooking

temperature.

Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when

baking is finished.

■ Use pan size recommended in the recipe.

■ Some package instructions for frozen

casseroles, main dishes or baked goods have

been developed using commercial convection

ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the

oven and use the temperature, for regular

baking, on the package.

Consumer SupportInstallation Instructions Troubleshooting TipsOperating Instructions

Safety Instructions

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check

to see if your cookware leaves room for air

circulation in the oven. If you are baking

with several pans, leave space between

them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch

each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers

that are recommended for use in regular

ovens can be used in convection ovens.

Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to

temperatures of 400°F can also be used,

when oven is below 400°F.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your

convection oven. However, metal pans heat

the fastest and are recommended for

convection baking.

■ Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster

than shiny pans.

■ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies, you will get the best

results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead

of a pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken,

use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot

circulate well around food in a pan with

high sides.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting

Touch the CONVECTION BAKE or

CONVECTION ROAST pad.

Touch the number pads to set the

desired oven temperature.

Touch the START pad.

To change the oven temperature, touch the

CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST

pad and then the number pads to set the

new temperature.

When the oven starts to heat the changing

temperature, starting at 100°F, will be

displayed. When the oven reaches the

temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.

Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when

finished.

NOTE: You will hear a fan while cooking with

convection. The fan will stop when the door is

opened but the heat will not turn off.

The fan will not start until the preheat temperature

is reached.

Multi-Shelf Baking

The number of shelves provided depends on your

model.

Because heated air is circulated evenly

throughout the oven, foods can be baked

with excellent results using multiple shelves.

Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times

slightly for some foods but the overall result

is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and

other quick breads give very good results

with multi-shelf baking.

When baking larger foods on 3 shelves,

place one shelf in the 2nd (A) position, one

on the 4th (C) position and the third shelf

in the 6th (E) position.

When baking cookies, place the shelves in

the 4th (C), 5th (D), and 6th (E) positions.

When convection baking with only

1 shelf, follow the shelf positions

recommended in the Using the

Oven section.

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

Touch the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads

at the same time for 3 seconds until

the display shows SF.

Touch the BAKE pad. A two digit

number shows in the display.

Touch BAKE once to decrease (-)

the oven temperature, or twice to

increase (+).

The oven temperature can be adjusted

up as much as 35°F. or down as much

as 35°F. Touch the number pads the

same way you read them. For example,

to change the oven temperature 15°F,

touch 1 and 5.

When you have made the adjustment,

touch the START pad to go back to the

time of day display. Use your oven as

you would normally.

NOTE: The thermostat adjustment for Baking

will also affect Convection Baking or Convection

Roasting.

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 affects 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.

be displayed.

When Using the Warming Drawer

The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked

foods at serving temperature. Always start with

hot food. Do not use to heat cold food other

than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal.

Do not line the warming drawer or pan with

aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat insulator

and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the

performance of the drawer and could damage the

interior finish.

Allow approximately 25 minutes for the warming

drawer to preheat.

■ Do not put liquid or water in the

warming drawer.

■ For moist foods, cover them with a lid

or aluminum foil.

■ For crisp foods, leave them uncovered.

■ Food should be kept hot in its cooking

container or transferred to a heat-safe

serving dish.

If your model has a door latch, never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.

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

Before a Clean Cycle

For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend

venting your kitchen with an open window

or using a ventilation fan or hood.

Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, all

cookware, probe and any aluminum foil

from the oven—they cannot withstand the

high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE:

■ If your oven is equipped with nickel oven

shelves, remove them before you begin

the self-clean cycle.

■ If your oven is equipped with gray

porcelain-coated oven shelves, they may

be left in the oven during the self-clean

cycle.

Soil on the front frame of the range and

outside the gasket on the door will need to

be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with

hot water, soap-filled scouring pads or

cleansers such as Soft Scrub

. Rinse well

with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass

material of the oven door gasket cannot

withstand abrasion. It is essential for the

gasket to remain intact. If you notice it

becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven

bottom.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in

place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds

is extremely sensitive to the fumes given

off during the self-cleaning cycle of any

range. Move birds to another well

ventilated room.

NOTE: Use caution when opening the upper

oven after the self-clean cycle has ended.

The oven may still be hot.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven

bottom.

Burner Caps and Heads

Before removing the burner caps and heads (on some

models), remember their size and location. Replace them

in the same location after cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to

clean the burner parts.

Burner caps

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.

Burner Bases (on some models)

The round burner bases are not removable. Only the caps

may be removed for cleaning.

To clean the burner bases, use soapy water and

a plastic scouring pad. Wipe clean with a damp

cloth.

Make sure that no water gets into the burner

bases. Allow them to dry fully before using.

Burner Heads (on some models) and Oval (Center)

Burner Head/Cap Assembly

The burner heads and the oval burner head/cap assembly

are removable. Simply lift them off the range for 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 must be kept clean at all

times for an even, unhampered flame.

Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will

not allow the burner to operate properly.

Any spill on or around an electrode must

be carefully cleaned. Take care to not hit an

electrode with anything hard or it could be

damaged.

Clean the burner heads routinely, especially after

bad spillovers, which could clog the openings.

Lift off when cool.

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.

After cleaning

Before putting the burner caps, heads

(on some models) and oval head/cap assembly

back, shake out excess water and then dry them

thoroughly by setting in a warm oven for 30

minutes.

Replacement

Burner Heads

(on some models)

Replace burner heads over the electrodes on

the cooktop, in the correct locations according

to their size. There is one small, one medium,

one large and one extra large burner head.

Make sure the slot in the burner head is

positioned over the electrode.

Oval (Center) Burner Head/Cap Assembly

Replace the oval (center) head/cap assembly

over the electrode on the cooktop.

Caps

Replace the matching size caps onto the burner

bases or heads.

Make sure that the heads (on some models) and

caps are replaced in the correct locations.

The oval burner head/cap assembly is

removable. Simply lift it off the range

Burner Grates

Your range has three professional-style

double grates. These grates are position-

specific. For maximum stability, these grates

should only be used in their proper

position; they cannot be interchanged left

to right or front to back. For convenience,

the undersides of the left and right grates

are marked “LEFT FRONT” and “RIGHT

FRONT.” Make sure the front portion of

both grates is in front. The middle grate

has a bow in front. Make sure the bowed

portion is toward the front of the range.

Cleaning

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. When replacing

the grates, be sure they are positioned

securely over the burners. Replace the

grates so that continuous arcs are formed

with the center ribs of all three 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. Add 1/4 cup

ammonia and let them soak several hours

or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.

Although they are 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.

NOTE: Do not clean the grates 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 lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop

can lead to damage and improper operation of the

range.

NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in

an oven, drawer 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.

The grates may be cleaned in a

dishwasher.

Appearance may vary.

Griddle

NOTES:

■ The griddle is to be used over the center

burner only.

■ Do not clean the griddle in a dishwasher.

■ Wash with hot, soapy water after each use while

using a sponge or dishcloth.

■ If oil or food residue is left on the griddle,

further cooking will harden the residue and cause

sticking over time. In this case, use a non-abrasive

cleanser such as Bon Ami

or one of the soft

scrub cleansers. Apply with a sponge, Scrunge

or other cleaning pad labeled safe for non-

stick pans

■ Use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils or

SilverStone

kitchen tools to prevent marring

of the coating.

■ Never use knives or cut food on the griddle.

Wash with hot, soapy water after each use.

Store carefully to prevent scratching.

Griddle Precautions:

■ If something has spilled under the griddle, it

should be cleaned up as soon as possible to

prevent “baked on” food soil.

■ Do not allow grease to accumulate under the

griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the

griddle as soon as it is cool. Clean with hot soapy

water.

■ Do not place your griddle in the microwave.

■ Always turn off all surface burners before

removing the griddle. Use caution when handling

a hot griddle.

Troubleshooting TipsConsumer Support

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 warming drawer or lower

oven drawer.

Upper Control Panel

On models so equipped, lock out the touch

pads before cleaning.

See the Control Lockout information in the

Special features of your oven control section

in this manual.

Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.

You may also use a glass cleaner.

Remove heavier soil with warm soapy water.

Do not use abrasives of any kind.

Unlock the touch pads after cleaning.

Vent appearance and location vary.

Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel

after each use of the oven. Use a damp

cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use

mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of

vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean

water. 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.

Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them

up or down or by hanging a towel or other

such loads. This can damage the gas valve

shaft.

The control knobs may be removed

for easier cleaning.

Make sure the knobs are in the OFF

positions and pull them straight off the

stems for cleaning.

The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher

or they may also be washed with soap and

water. Make sure the insides of the knobs

are dry before replacing.

Replace the knobs in the OFF position

to ensure proper placement.

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.

NOTE: The lower oven drawer control knob is not

interchangeable with the surface burner knobs. Be

sure to reinstall the lower oven drawer knob to the

original location. The lower oven drawer knob may

be identified by the red line. Surface burner knobs

have a white line.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

(on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch

the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface,

use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel

cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface

in the direction of the grain. Follow the

cleaner instructions for cleaning the

Lift-Off Oven Door

The 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:

■ Do not allow excess water to run into

any holes or slots in the door.

■ Because the area inside the gasket is

cleaned during the self clean cycle, you

do not need to clean this by hand. Any

soap left on the liner causes additional

stains when the oven is heated.

■ The area outside the gasket can be

cleaned with a soap-filled plastic

scouring pad.

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.

■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato

sauces and basting materials containing

acids may cause discoloration and should

be wiped up immediately. When the

surface is cool, clean and rinse.

■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing

powders or harsh abrasives on the

outside of the door.

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.

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 scouring

pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before

self-cleaning.

Oven Shelves and Drawer Racks

If your oven is equipped with nickel oven

shelves, they should be removed from the

oven before beginning the self-clean cycle.

To clean the nickel shelves, use an abrasive

cleanser. After cleaning, rinse the shelves

with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

If the shelves ever become hard to slide,

wipe the shelf edges or oven shelf supports

with vegetable oil.

If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-

coated shelves, they may be cleaned in the

oven during the self-clean cycle.

They may also be cleaned by using an

abrasive cleanser. After cleaning, rinse the

shelves with clean water and dry with a

clean cloth. If the shelves ever become hard

to slide, wipe the shelf edges or oven shelf

supports with vegetable oil.

Oven Light Replacement

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:

Hold a hand under the cover so it

doesn’t fall when released. With

fingers of the same hand, firmly push

back the wire cover holder. Lift off

the cover.

Do not remove any screws to remove

the cover.

Do not touch hot bulb with a wet

cloth. Replace bulb with a 40-watt

INSTALLATION SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service

or maintenance can cause injury or property damage.

Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional

information, consult a qualified installer, service

agency, manufacturer (dealer) or the gas supplier.

Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use

of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and

personal injury. Always use NEW flexible connectors

when installing a gas appliance.

IMPORTANT – Remove all packing

material and literature from oven before connecting

gas and electrical supply to range.

CAUTION – Do not attempt to operate

the oven of this range during a power failure (Electric

Ignition models only).

■ Have your range installed by a qualified installer.

■ Your range must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in the absence

of local codes, in accordance with the National

Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition).

In Canada, electrical grounding must be in

accordance with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian

Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes. See

Electrical Connections in this section.

■ Before installing your range on linoleum or any

other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor

covering can withstand 180°F without shrinking,

warping or discoloring. Do not install the range

over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4″ thick plywood

or similar insulator is placed between the range

and carpeting.

■ Make sure the wall coverings around the range can

withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°F.

■ Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce

the hazard caused by reaching over the open

flames of operating burners, install a ventilation

hood over the range that projects forward at least

5″ beyond the front of the cabinets.

■ The ventilating hood must be constructed

of sheet metal not less than 0.0122″ thick.

Install above the cooktop with a clearance of not

less than 1/4″ between the hood and the underside

of the combustible material or metal cabinet. The

hood must be at least as wide as the appliance and

centered over the appliance. Clearance between

the cooking surface and the ventilation hood

surface MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24

INCHES.

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven

or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform

to the installation instructions packed with that

appliance.

■ If cabinets are placed above the range,

allow a minimum clearance of 30″ between the

cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected

cabinets.

■ If a 30″ clearance between cooking surface and

overhead combustible material or metal cabinets

cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the

cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4″

insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not

less than 0.0122″ thick. Clearance between the

WARNING!

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All ranges can tip and injury could

result.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range,

attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the

wall. (See Installing the Anti-Tip Device in

this section.) To check if the device is

installed and engaged properly, carefully

tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip device

should engage and prevent the range from

tipping over.

If you pull the range out from the wall for

any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device

is engaged when you push the range back

against the wall.

■ For your safety, never use your range for warming

or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are

not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners

should not be operated without cookware on the

grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage

to your range and will void your warranty.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids

in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Explosions or fires could result.

■ Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in

the oven can ignite.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to

strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind

the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings

around the base of the range that supply fresh air for

combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by

carpeting or woodwork.

Your range, like many other household items, is

heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as

cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving

the range on this type of flooring. It is recommended

that the following simple and inexpensive instructions

be followed to protect your floor.

The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood

(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at

the front of the range, the area that the range will rest

on should be built up with plywood to the same level

or higher than the floor covering.

This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning

or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will

withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions

section.)

Make sure the wall coverings around your range can

withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the

range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)

IMPORTANT!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the

burners are properly seated and level.

Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or

drawer.

Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose

during shipping.

Installation Instructions

PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS

SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5″ of

water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas

(propane or butane), 10 ″ of water column.

Make sure you are supplying your range with the type

of gas for which it is designed.

This range is convertible for use on natural or

propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas,

conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer

before attempting to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas

supplied to the regulator must be between 5″ and 13″

of water column.

For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10″

and 13″ of water column.

When checking for proper operation of the regulator,

the inlet pressure must be at least 1″ greater than the

operating (manifold) pressure as given above.

The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range

manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of

whether natural or LP gas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect

the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of

1/2″ and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In

Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal

connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting

the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has

been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on

other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,

the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal

appliance connector is recommended unless local

codes require a hard-piped connection.

Never use an old connector when installing a new

range. If the hard piping method is used, you must

carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved

after the connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or

wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male

(external) pipe threads.

A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line

in an easily accessed location outside of the range.

Make sure everyone operating the range knows

where and how to shut off the gas supply to the

range.

B. Install male 1/2″ flare union adapter to the 1/2″

NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a

backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid

damage.

When installing the range from the front, remove

the 90° elbow for easier installation.

C. Install male 1/2″ or 3/4″ flare union adapter to the

NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve,

taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it

from turning.

D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the

adapter on the range. Position range to permit

connection at the shut-off valve.

E. When all connections have been made, make sure

all range controls are in the off position and turn on

the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector

at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the

system.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to

pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,

disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from

the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2

psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate

the range from the gas supply system by closing the

individual shut-off valve.

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit

protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or

time delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards associated

with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect

to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that

it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance

extension cord and that the current carrying rating of

the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than,

the circuit rating.

Grounding

IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST

BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a

standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to

minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from

this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and

circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure

the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the personal responsibility and

obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a

properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,

CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG

FROM THE POWER CORD.

A word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required or

recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are

devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and

automatically switch off power when a threshold

leakage level is detected. These devices must be

manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical

Code requires the use of GFCI’s in kitchen receptacles

installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of

the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI-

protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of

the GFCI breaker is possible.

Preferred Method

Ensure proper ground

exists before use

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will

be Disconnected Infrequently.

An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit.

Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where

local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION

may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall

receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available

at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter

must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall

receptacle to provide proper polarity in the

connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,

always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not

done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to

break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO

NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground

has again been established.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter

ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover

screw does not ground the appliance unless

the cover screw is metal, and not insulated,

and the wall receptacle is grounded through

the house wiring. The customer should have

the circuit checked by a qualified electrician

to make sure the receptacle is properly

grounded.

Temporary Method

Ensure proper

ground and firm

connection before

use

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

Align large prongs/slots

ASSEMBLE SURFACE BURNERS

(CONT.)

Oval (Center) Burner Head/Cap Assembly

Place the oval (center) head/cap assembly over the

electrode on the cooktop.

Caps

Place the matching size caps onto the burner bases

or heads.

Make sure that the heads (on some models) and

caps are replaced in the correct locations.

Grates

Place the left, right and center grates on the

cooktop. These grates are position specific. The

undersides of the left and right grates are marked

“LEFT FRONT” and “RIGHT FRONT.” Place the

middle grate with its bowed front toward the front

of the range.

CAUTION:

Do not operate the burner

without all burner parts in place.

Installation Instructions

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

B. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will

be Disconnected Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because

disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on

the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter

ground terminal. The customer should have the two-

prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong

(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician

before using the appliance.

The installation of appliances designed for mobile

home installation must conform with the Manufactured

Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,

Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile

Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part

280) or, when such standard is not applicable, the

Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, latest

edition (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and

Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local

codes. In Canada, mobile home installation must be

in accordance with the current CAN/CSA Z240/MH

Mobile Home Installation Code.

Electric Disconnect

■ Locate disconnect plug on the range back.

■ Pinch sides of connector and pull out of range back.

SEAL THE OPENINGS

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the

floor under the range when hookups are completed.

ASSEMBLE SURFACE BURNERS

Burner Heads (on some models)

Place burner heads over the electrodes on the

cooktop, in the correct locations according to their

size. There is one small, one medium, one large and

CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE

BURNERS

Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be

checked after the range and gas supply lines have been

carefully checked for leaks.

Electric Ignition Models

Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push

in and turn to LITE position. You will hear a clicking

sound indicating proper operation of the spark

module. Once the air has been purged from the

supply lines, burners should light within 4 seconds.

After burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE

position. Try each burner in succession until all

burners have been checked.

Quality of Flames

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be

determined visually.

If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal

burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending

on the type of gas you use.

With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones

is normal.

CHECK IGNITION OF OVEN BURNER

The oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically.

To operate the oven, press the BAKE pad and then press the

number pads until 350° appears in the display. Touch the

START pad. After 30–90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite

and burn until the set temperature is reached. The oven

burner will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to

maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the display.

To check ignition of the broil burner, touch the BROIL

HI/LO pad and then the START pad. After 30–90 seconds,

the broil burner will ignite.

Electric ignition models require electrical power to operate.

In case of a power outage, the oven burners on these models

cannot be lit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless

the glow bar is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the burner

will shut off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored.

Installation Instructions

To remove the oven bottom:

A. Remove the screws holding down rear of the oven

bottom.

B. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side.

C. Lift the rear of the oven bottom enough to clear the

lip of the range frame, push it back, and then pull it

up and out.

Installation Instructions

ADJUST BROIL AND OVEN

BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT

SHUTTERS IF NECESSAR

Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burners

regulate the flow of air to the flames.

The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil) burner is

in the center of the rear wall of the oven.

The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near the

back wall behind the warming drawer. Remove the

drawer. See the Care and cleaning of the range section.

To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the

Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter toward open

or closed position as needed.

The flames for the top (broil) burner should be steady

with approximately 1″ blue cones and should not

extend out over the edges of the burner baffle.

To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning

properly, remove the oven bottom. Flames should have

approximately 1″ blue cones and, if range is supplied

with natural gas, should burn with no yellow tipping.

(With most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer

cones are normal.) Flames should not lift off burner

ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter

opening until flames are stabilized.
