IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

GAS COOKTOP

- Use Proper Flame Size —

Adjust flame size so it does not extend

beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of

undersized utensils will expose a portion of

the burner flame to direct contact and may

result in ignition of clothing. Proper relation-

ship of utensil to flame will also improve effi-

ciency.

Know which knob or key controls each

surface heating area. Place cookware with

food on the cooking area before turning it

on. Turn the cooking area off before

removing the cookware.

Use proper pan size. This appliance is

equipped with one or more surface units of

different sizes. Select cookware with flat

bottoms that match the surface unit heating

element. The use of undersized cookware

may expose a portion of the flame to direct

contact and may result in the ignition of

clothing or other items. Using the proper

cookware on the cooking areas will improve

efficiency.

Always turn knob to the full LITE position

when igniting top burners. Visually check that

burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the

utensil.

To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of

flammable materials, and spillage due to

unintentional contact with the utensil, the

handle of the utensil should be positioned so

that it is turned inward, and does not extend

over adjacent surface burners

Never leave surface burners unattended at

high heat settings — Boil overs cause

smoking and greasy spill overs that may

ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain

types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,earth-

enware, or other glazed utensils are suitable

for cook top service without breaking due to

the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer’s recommendations for cook

top use.

When you are flaming foods under a venti-

lating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil,

aftermarket oven liners, or any other

materials or devices to line oven bottom,

oven racks, or any other part of the appli-

ance. Only use aluminum as recommended

for baking, such as lining cookware or as a

cover placed on food. Any other use of

protective liners or aluminum foil may result

in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short

circuit.

Use care when opening oven door, lower

oven door, or warmer drawer (some models).

Stand to the side of the appliance when

opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or

steam escape before you remove or replace

food in the oven.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching

surfaces in this area when the oven is on may

cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or

heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent.

These items can melt or ignite.

Placement of oven racks - Always place oven

racks in desired location while oven is cool. If

rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not

let potholder contact hot burner or element

in oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack

with both hands to reposition. Remove all

cookware and utensils before moving the

rack.

Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.

Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to

drain away from the high heat of the broiler.

Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum

foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.

Do not cook food on the oven bottom.

Always cook in proper cookware and always

use the oven racks.

Cooking Recommendations

Bakeware

The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food.

Material Attributes Recommendation

Shiny metal bakeware Shiny, aluminum, and non-coated bakeware

is the best for even heating. It is suitable for

all baked goods.

Recommended cooking temperatures and

times are based on shiny metal bakeware.

Dark metal bakeware Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny

bakeware.

Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F

(13-14° C) when using dark bakeware.

Glass bakeware Glass bakeware cooks hotter than shiny

bakeware.

Glass is convenient, as the same piece of

bakeware can be used for cooking, serving,

and storing food.

Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F

(13-14° C) when using glass bakeware.

Insulated bakeware Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than shiny

bakeware.

Insulated bakeware is designed for baking

in gas ovens.

Increase the cooking temperature by 25° F

(13-14° C) when using insulated bakeware.

Cooking Recommendations

Cooking Conditions

Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.

Condition AttributesRecommendation

Aging cookware As pans age and become discolored, cooking

times may need to be reduced slightly.

If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook

time in the recipe or packaging.

If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to

maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.

High altitude Air is drier and air pressure is lower.

Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids

evaporate faster.

Foods may take longer to bake.

Doughs may rise faster.

Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as

needed.

Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.

Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce

evaporation.

Increase bake time or oven temperature.

Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in

recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and allow

it to rise twice.

Cooking Results:

Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like.

Result Recommendation

Food too light Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Food too dark Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Cooking Tips:

Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.

Cooking Tips

Baking

Rack placement Follow the instructions in “Oven Controls” on starting on page 17. When using only one rack, place the rack

so the food is in the center of the oven.

Preheat Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food immediately

after the beep.

Checking food Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking performance.

Food placement Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

Broiling/Roasting

Broiling pan For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food,

help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent

grease splatters.

Note: If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance, they may be purchased from Sears.

Call 1-844-553-6667 and order broiler pan kit 5304442087.

Cooking Recommendations

Convection Cooking

Convection

attributes

Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food. It browns food more evenly and

reduces hot spots in the oven.

Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once.

Convection bake Reduce cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the recipe is written for convection

baking.

Preheat the oven for best results.

Cooking Tips

Before Setting Surface Controls

Check burner cap placement before operating the

surface burners

To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of

harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner

caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame

size.

It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and

burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations

before operating the cooktop burners.

Important notes:

• Always keep surface burner caps in place whenever using a

surface burner.

• When placing the burner caps, be sure that all burner caps

are seated firmly and rest level on top of burner heads.

• For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow

spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter

the gas orifice port opening.

On round style burners, the burner cap lip (See Figure 3) should

fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level.

Refer to Figure 4 for correct and incorrect burner cap place-

ment.

Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the

burner cap from side to side to be sure it is centered and firmly

seated (See Figure 5). When the burner cap lip makes contact

inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the

burner cap click. Please note that the burner cap should NOT

move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to

side.

Check and be sure that all oval style (some models) burner caps

are correctly in place on oval burner heads.

Installing Burner Grates

Surface elements may appear to have cooled

after they have been turned off. The surface element may still

be hot and burns may occur if the surface element is touched

before it has cooled sufficiently.

Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop

before using the surface burners. The grates are designed to

rest inside the recess on the cooktop.

Figure 6: Burner grates placement

Before Setting Surface Controls

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

into the cooktop recess. Grates should rest flush against each

other and against the sides of the recess (See Figure 6).

Using proper cookware

Do not place flammable items such as plastic

salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on

the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.

Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed

too close to the range cooktop.

Important:

Do not place aluminum foil, or any material that can melt on the

range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the

cooktop.

Important:

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of

food being cooked will influence the burner flame setting

needed for best cooking results.

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat

is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The

most popular materials available are:

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will

cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining

and pitting).

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See

Aluminum).

Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is

durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very

well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary

depending on base material.

Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Setting Proper Burner Flame Size

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge

of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and

increases your risk of being burned by the flame.

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

good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted

room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or

clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a

lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations

in Table 1 as a guide for determining proper flame size for

various types of cooking.)

For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the surface

knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the

fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so

quickly that the center will be under cooked. Do not attempt to

deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither

brown or cook properly.

For best cooking results, cook-

ware should have flat bottoms

that rest level on the surface

burner grate. Before using

cookware, check for flatness by

rotating a ruler across the bot-

tom of the cookware (See

Figure 7).

Before Setting Surface Controls

Home Canning

Canning can generate large amounts of steam.

Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to

vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that harmful

micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are sealed

completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but

steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required

time.

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home

canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United

States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read

all the information they have available as well as follow their

recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.

Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges

that radiate from the bottom center when home canning.

Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.

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

inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is

recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric

coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on

the burner grates.

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

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to

a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest

possible setting to maintain that boil.

• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check

with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service

or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning infor-

mation.

• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat

for an extended amount of time.

• Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the

units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid

canning on the same burner unit all day.

Setting Surface Controls

Setting Surface Burners

Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized

surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger

volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to

select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food

being prepared.

The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best suited for

simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard size burners may be used for most surface cooking

needs. Some models are equipped with a center burner.

The larger POWER burners (on some models) or TURBO BOIL

burner (on some models) are recommended for bringing large

quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger

quantities of food.

To set surface burners:

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

sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate.

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

clockwise out of the OFF position (See Figure 9).

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

position. Visually check that the burner has lit.

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

turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the

control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.

Important notes:

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

position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the

control knob setting remains in the LITE position .

• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position,

all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time.

However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.

• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different

surface cooking areas at the same time. This can cause

uneven heating results.

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

burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting

surface burners manually. To light a surface burner, hold a

lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface

control knob to LITE. After burner lights push in and turn

knob to desired setting.

Do not place flammable items such as plastic

salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on

the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.

Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed

too close to the range cooktop.

Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material

that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may

permanently damage the cooktop surface.

When operating the oven, it is possible for

residual heat from the oven to build-up and over time to eventu-

ally transfer to the surface control knobs located directly above

the oven door.

Figure 9: Surface control knob

Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located below the control panel (See Figure 10).

When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This

venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and

good baking results. Do not block oven vent.

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

other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy

heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause

permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt

to the interior of the oven.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well

as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven

racks

To Arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is

cool (prior to operating the oven).

To Remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches

the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.

To Replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both

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

and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are

level before using.

Oven Rack Descriptions

• Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used

for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven

rack positions.

• The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional

stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design. The

offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a

rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in

most oven rack positions.

• To maximize oven cooking space, place the bottom oven

rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking or

roasting large cuts of meat.

Air circulation in the oven

For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the

cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and

cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back

of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the

cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

• Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like cookies,

biscuits, and breads.

• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the

food is in the center of the oven.

• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two

oven racks, place racks in positions 3 and 5 (See Figure 13).

• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny

bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature

and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark

bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is

recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two

Convec Bake

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat

uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat

distribution allows for even cooking and browning results. It also

gives better baking results when using multiple oven racks at the

same time. Heated air flows around the food from all sides,

sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more

evenly. Convec Bake may be set for any oven temperature

between 300°F (148°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Convec Bake:

• For optimum cooking results, it is recommended to preheat

the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits, and

breads.

• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s recommended

oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s

instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

• For best results when using a single oven rack, place rack in

position 3 or 4 (See Figure 14). When using two oven racks,

place in positions 3 and 5 When using three oven racks,

place in positions 2, 4, and 6 (use offset rack only in

position 6).

• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware

resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be

necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to

prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-

mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes,

cookies, and muffins.

Important notes:

• The convection fan on a gas range will not begin rotating

until Convec Bake has been into the cycle for six minutes.

• If the oven door is opened when Convec Bake is active, the

convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is

closed. D-0 will appear in the display.

• When using Convec Bake, cook time reductions may vary

depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

• Glass cookware may require reduced temperature.

Minimize opening of the oven door. Opening the door will

reduce the temperature in the oven.

To set Convec. Bake with a default oven set temperature of

350°F:

1. Arrange oven racks and close oven door.

2. Press Convec Bake. 350 appears in display.

3. By pressing or , the oven temperature may be

adjusted in 5°F increments (1°C). When setting for convec-

tion, be sure to set the oven temperature between 300°F

Setting Broil

Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure

to flame heat for optimum browning results. The Broil function is

factory preset to broil at Hi. The suggested broil settings are

recommendations only. Increase or decrease broiling times or

move to a different rack position to suit for doneness.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and

cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door

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

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

sive.

Important notes:

• Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.

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

position before turning or removing food.

• For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with broil pan

insert designed to drain the fat from the food and help

avoid spatter and reduce smoking.

To set Broil:

1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum browning

results, preheat oven for 5 minutes before adding food.

2. Position cookware in oven. Keep the oven door closed.

3. Press Broil. HI will appear in display.

4. Press or until the desired broil setting level

appears in the display. Press for HI broil or

Adjusting oven temperature

The appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure

an accurate baking temperature, known as the User Preference

Offset (UPO). For the first few uses, follow your recipe times

and temperature recommendations carefully. If you think the

oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you

may adjust the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than

the oven temperature displayed.

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

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

brated settings.

To adjust oven temperature:

1. Press Bake and hold for 3 seconds. The UPO value will

appear in the display with a degree sign.

2. The display now indicates the amount of degrees offset

from the original factory temperature setting. If the control

still has the original factory calibration, the display will

in 5°F (1°C) increments by pressing and holding or

. Adjust until the desired amount of temperature off-

set appears in the display and press START to save.

4. If the STOP key is pressed during the programming mode,

the UPO value will remain unchanged.

Important notes:

• Oven temperature adjustments made will not change the

Broil or Self-Clean operating temperatures.

• Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in

grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your

oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20°F

to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.

• The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your

oven control has been set to display °C temperatures.

Minimum and maximum settings for °C is plus (+) or minus

(-) 19°C.

• If the display mode is set for °C, adjustments made will be

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well

above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate soils com-

pletely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe

away afterwards with a damp cloth.

The Self Clean function allows you to select three different

cleaning times from 2, 3, or 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning time is

best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light soils, and a

4-hour clean time for heavier stubborn soils.

Read before starting Self Clean. Be sure to read all following

caution and important statements before starting a self clean

cycle.

Do not leave small children unattended near

appliance. During self clean cycle, the outside of the oven can

become very hot and cause burns if touched.

Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom,

or any part of the range with aluminum foil. This will cause per-

manent damage to the oven interior and destroy heat distribu-

tion, and will met to the oven interior.

Do not force the oven door open. This will

damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when

opening the oven door after the self clean cycle ends. The oven

may still be very hot and cause burns. To avoid possible burns,

stand to side of oven when opening door to allow steam or hot

air to escape.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive

to fumes given off during the self clean cycle of any range.

Move birds to a well ventilated room.

Important notes:

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories

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

oven racks are not removed they may discolor. Remove all

items from the oven and cooktop including cookware,

utensils and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not

withstand high temperatures from a self clean cycle and

will melt.

• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or

around any part of the oven interior. Clean any soil from

the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket,

and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom

(See Figure 18). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil

on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.

• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom

should be wiped up and removed before starting a Self

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

Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected

to high temperatures. Do not allow food spills with high

sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut,

fruit juices, or pie fillings) to remain on the surface as they

may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

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

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

taken not to rub, damage, or remove the oven door gasket.

Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket and

compromise the performance of the oven.

Important notes:

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open

window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during the first

Self Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors.

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

LOCK indicator light is flashing. Allow about 15 seconds for

the motorized door latch mechanism to completely lock or

unlock the oven door.

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

locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition to

the clean time that was programmed, you must allow about

1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you will be

able to open the oven door.

Steam Clean

Steam cleaning works best for spot cleaning and light soils on

the oven bottom. Steam clean may also be used before manu-

ally cleaning the oven.

Do not set the cleaning temperature higher than

the temperature listed in these instructions. Higher temperatures

will dry the steam too soon and may lead to burns or serious

injury when cleaning.

Do not attempt to wipe out the oven before the

cooling off period or attempt to shorten the cooling off period.

Doing so may lead to burns or other serious injury when

cleaning.

Do not add ammonia, oven cleaners, or any

other household cleaners or chemicals to the water used for

steam cleaning.

To set the controls for steam clean:

1. Oven should be at room temperature. Remove all racks and

oven accessories.

2. Scrape or wipe loose debris from the oven bottom.

3. Pour 8 oz (235 ml) of distilled or filtered water onto the

oven bottom (See Figure 19). Close the oven door.

4. Press Bake. Enter 170ºF (77ºC) using the arrow keys

5. Set the minute timer for 20 minutes.

6. Allow the oven to heat. Do not open the oven door while the

oven is heating.

7. An alert will sound when the timer is finished. Press Timer

ON/Off to stop the timer and press to return to the

clock.

8. Set the minute timer for 10 minutes to allow for a cool-down

period. Do not attempt to wipe out the oven before a 10

minute cool-down period.

9. An alert will sound when the timer is finished. Press Timer

ON/Off to stop the timer.

10. Stand to the side of the range out of the way of escaping

vapor

when opening the oven door.

ket

(See Figure 20).

To stop the steam cleaning cycle at any time, press .

Important notes:

• Always stay close to the oven when steam cleaning, so you

can hear the timer alert.

• For best results, wipe out oven immediately after the cool-

down period is complete.

• Removal of especially stubborn or baked-on soils may

require a manual cleaning.

• Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to

the oven vent, and some water may remain on the oven

bottom. This is normal. Wipe with a soft cloth or sponge

when the cool-down period is complete.

• The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry.

Open door to broil position and allow to air dry.

• Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water) and

will leave deposits on the oven cavity surfaces. If this occurs,

wipe cavity surfaces with diluted vinegar or lemon juice.

Care and Cleaning

General Cleaning

Refer to this chapter for more detailed information about

cleaning specific parts of the range.

Before manually cleaning any part of the

range, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool.

The range may be hot and can cause burns.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the

oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

Aluminum foil and utensils

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the

oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as

aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and

may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings

may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to

line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended

in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in

risk of electric shock, or fire.

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

damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking

utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface burners

under any circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much

lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when

aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If

aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the

cooktop, the utensil will be damaged or destroyed.

Cleaning the Cooktop and Surface Burners

To avoid possible burns, do not attempt any of

the cooktop cleaning instructions provided before turning OFF

all of the surface burners and allow them to completely cool.

Any additions, changes or conversions required

in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application

needs must be made by an authorized qualified agency.

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

wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head

ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an

uneven flame.

Cleaning recessed and contoured areas of cooktop

If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up

spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and

wipe dry.

Cleaning surface burner grates

• Clean only after the grates are completely cool.

• Use nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mild abrasive

cleanser or clean in the dishwasher.

• Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean

immediately after the grates are cool.

• Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.

Cleaning burner caps

• Remove caps from burner heads after they have cooled.

• Clean heavy soils with a plastic scrubbing pad and

absorbent cloth.

• Thoroughly dry burner caps immediately following cleaning

including the bottom and inside of cap.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners. They can scratch porcelain.

• Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher.

• Do not operate surface burners without burner caps

properly in place. Read important notes.

Cleaning surface burner heads

For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner

head and slots. To clean, first use a clean DAMP cloth to soak up

any spills. Remove any food from between the burner slots using

a small nonabrasive brush like a toothbrush and afterwards

wipe up using a damp cloth. For stubborn soils located in the

slots, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean.

Any spill on or around the electrode must be carefully cleaned.

Take care not to hit the electrode with any thing hard or it could

be damaged.

Important note:

Small food particulars on or around the electrode could stop the

burner from lighting.

Care and Cleaning

To clean the burner head ignition ports

Each burner head has a small ignition port located as shown.

Should you experience ignition problems it may be that this port

hole is partially blocked with soil. With the burner head in

place, use a small wire gauge needle or the end of a paper clip

to clear the ignition port.

Important notes:

• The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and

must be cleaned in place on the cooktop.

• Always keep the surface burner caps in place whenever a

surface burner is in use.

• When replacing the burner caps, be sure the burner caps

are seated firmly on top of the burner heads.

• For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow

spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter

the gas orifice port opening.

To remove and replace storage drawer (some models)

Use the storage drawer for storing cooking utensils. The drawer

can be removed to facilitate cleaning under the range. Use care

when handling the drawer.

Replacing oven light (some models)

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts

are cool before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced

glove for protection against possible broken glass.

The oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and is

covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass

shield protects the light bulb and must be in place whenever the

oven is in use.

To replace the interior oven light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the

range.

2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield that

covers the light bulb.
