WARNING: Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate.
The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
To Set:
REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot
Power Failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner, and then turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

Burner Cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.
Gas Tube Opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube opening by always using a burner cap.

Burner Ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the burner ports.
To Clean:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF and the cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust removers.


Grates
The grates on this range cover the full width of the cooktop. The 2 grates may interlock (on some models), using the hook formed into 1 end of both grates. The flat end of 1 grate drops onto the hook on the other grate as shown in the following illustration.

On some models, the 2 grates are identical and can be used on either the left or right side of the cooktop. Grates that are designed for use on only 1 side of the cooktop will have either “LEFT” or “RIGHT” embossed on the bottom side of the grate.
Select a burner that best fits your cookware. See the following illustration and chart.

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element, or surface burner. Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the surfaces.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware. Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

Aluminum
Cast iron
Ceramic or ceramic glass
Copper
Earthenware/ Stoneware
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or cast iron
Stainless steel
For best results, the cookware should be centered above the burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.

Canning can be performed on a glass smoothtop cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most-recently used areas to cool.
The normal operation of the range will include several noises that may be heard each time the Bake or Broil burners ignite during the cooking cycle:
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.
NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.
Control Display
The display will flash when powered up or after a power loss. Press OFF/CANCEL to clear. When oven is not in use, the time of day is displayed. Indicator lights show functions that are in use.
Tones

Demo Mode
IMPORTANT: This feature is intended for use on the sales floor with 120 V power connection and permits the control features to be demonstrated without heating elements turning on. If this feature is activated, the oven will not work.
To change: Press OFF/CANCEL, OFF/CANCEL, the Temp/Time “up” arrow keypad, TIMER SET•OFF. Repeat to change back and end Demo mode.
Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow to react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate reading due to this cycling.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with Sabbath mode
The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain ON in a Bake setting until turned off. The Oven Control Lockout feature will be disabled during the Sabbath mode. After the Sabbath mode is set, no tones will sound, the display will not show the temperature, the Kitchen Timer mode will be canceled (if active), and only the following keypads will function:
When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off immediately.
When power is restored after a power failure, the oven will return to Sabbath mode and remain Sabbath compliant with the bake elements OFF until Off/Cancel is pressed.
Pressing OFF/CANCEL at any time returns the oven to the normal cooking mode (not Sabbath compliant). Before entering the Sabbath mode, it must be decided if the oven light is to be ON or OFF for the entire Sabbath mode period. If the light is ON when entering Sabbath mode, it will remain ON for the entire time Sabbath mode is in use. If the light is OFF when entering Sabbath mode, it will remain OFF for the entire time Sabbath mode is in use. Opening the oven door or pressing OVEN LIGHT will not affect the oven light once Sabbath mode has been entered.
On the Holiday, the oven temperature can be changed once the oven is in Sabbath mode by pressing the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow keypad. The oven temperature will change 25°F (14°C) each time the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow keypad is pressed. Press START to activate the new temperature. The display will not change and there will be no sounds during this adjustment.
To Activate and Bake Using Sabbath Mode:
Pressing OFF/CANCEL at any time returns the oven to the normal cooking mode (not Sabbath compliant).
NOTE: If “SAb” does not appear in your display, the Sabbath mode is not active. After Sabbath mode is deactivated, you must activate Sabbath mode by completing steps 1 through 5.
NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.
IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before placing it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to 1 hour; however, breads and casseroles may become too dry if left in the oven during the Warm function. For best results, cover food. The Warm feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at serving temperature.
To Use:
NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by pressing the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow keypad to reach the desired temperature and then pressing START.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner. For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration as a guide.

Rack Positions
Rack 5: Toasting bread or broiling thin, non-fatty foods
Rack 4: 2-rack baking and broiling
Rack 3: Most baked goods on a cookie sheet, muffin pan, or jelly roll pan; layer cakes; broiling chicken pieces Rack 2: Pies, casseroles, yeast bread, quick breads, frozen convenience foods, 2-rack baking
Rack 1: Roasting large and small cuts of meat and poultry
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5.
Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, place flat racks in positions 2 and 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.

Baking Cookies
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, place flat racks in positions 2 and 5.

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than 1 /2" (1.3 cm) over the element.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Preheating
When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected temperature will appear on the display.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection bake mode to improve oven performance.
Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during Bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.
NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.
Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 4 or 5 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
WARNING: Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see the “Oven Vent” section. Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.
Prepare Range
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and popping sounds.
Before Self-Cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or the door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
To stop the self-cleaning cycle at anytime, press OFF/CANCEL.
If the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked and “cool” and “locked” will be displayed. The cooling fan may continue to run.
Once the cleaning temperature has been reached, the electronic control requires a 12-hour delay before another Self-Cleaning cycle can be started.
The oven light will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle
Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time (on some models)
The Self-Cleaning cycle is time adjustable between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 30-minute increments. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil, and 4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil.
To Self-Clean:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.
Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.
EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some models)
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may affect the finish.
Cleaning Method:
STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)
NOTE: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Cleaner, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels. Damage may occur to stainless steel surfaces, even with one-time or limited use.
