Wear proper apparel—loose-tting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other ammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not use water or our on grease res — our
may be explosive. Smother the re with a pan
lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat
or grease may catch re if allowed to become too hot.
Use dry potholders - moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a
potholder.
Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup
of pressure may cause container to burst and
result in injury.
For electric ignition models only: Do not attempt
to operate the range during a power failure. If
the power fails, always turn off the range. If the range
is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will
begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset
the clock and oven function.
IMPORTANT
Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
the range. Children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Do not touch surface burners, areas near these
burners, oven burners or interior surfaces of
the oven. Both surface and oven burners may be
hot even though ames are not visible. Areas near
surface burners may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other ammable materials touch these
areas until they have had sufcient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing
the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven door and window.
• Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or
drawers of a range can result in serious injuries
and also cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT
allow children to climb or play around the range. The
weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the
range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning.
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 ow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may
trap heat, causing a re hazard.
• Storage in or on appliance — to avoid a re
hazard, ammable materials should not be
stored in an oven, near surface units or in the
storage drawer, warmer drawer or lower oven.
This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such
as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as
ammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as
aerosol cans, on or near the range.
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE — to avoid
injuries or burns children should not be left alone
or unattended in the area where the range is
in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the range including the storage drawer,
lower broiler drawer, lower oven or warmer drawer.
Be sure to always have an appropriate foam-type re
extinguisher available, visible and easily accessible
located near the appliance.
• Never modify or alter the construction of a
range by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire
covers, anti-tip bracket/screws, or any other part
of the range.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if
it is to be stored or discarded.
• User servicing — Do not repair or replace any part
of the appliance unless specically recommended
in the manuals. All other servicing should be done
only by a qualied technician. This may reduce the risk
of personal injury and damage to the range.

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 cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Use care when opening oven door , warmer
drawer or lower oven door—Stand to the side of the
range 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. The oven
vent is located below the backguard. Touching the
surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may
cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-
sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items
could 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 use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and
be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum
foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
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 re.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface burner.
Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on,
and turn the burner off before removing the pan.
Always turn knob to the full LITE position when
igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has
lit. Then adjust the ame so it does not extend beyond
the edge of the utensil.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burnersTo reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of ammable 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—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, 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 aming foods under a ventilating hood,
turn the fan on.
Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which
operate by blowing a downward air ow on to a range,
shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other
than when the hood and range have been designed,
tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for
use in combination with each other.
Use Proper Flame SizeAdjust ame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner
ame to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to ame will also
improve efciency.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Types of oven racks
Your range may be equipped with one or more of the
following oven rack types listed below:
The at oven rack may be used for most cooking needs
and may be placed in all rack positions.
The at handle oven rack (some models) may be used
for most cooking needs and may be placed in all* rack
positions. Similar to the at rack but comes with a handle.
The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional
stepdown positions from the standard at rack design.
The offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/2
of a rack position lower than the at rack.
The half rack (some models) has a removable section
to allow for taller cooking utensils in the oven. When the
removable section is in place, the rack may be used like a
at rack.
The Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) instructions
are provided later in this section. See important note
below.
The bottom oven rack (some models) should only be
used in the lowest oven rack position. This rack should be
used when placing large cuts of meat in the oven.

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack in positions 3 & 5. For best
results when using a single or an offset oven rack, place
cookware on rack in position 2, 3 or 4.
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. For even heating, hot air must be
able to circulate freely around the pans and cookware (See
Fig. 1).

Effortless™ Oven Rack system
Some models are equipped with a special oven rack
system that automatically partially extends the oven rack
from the interior oven glides to assist in easier access to
your food items. This feature works whenever the oven
door is opened or closed.
To assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:
1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied
oven rack (Effortless™ Oven Rack is a at rack with
a special dark coating on the left and right rack
sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.
2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely
cool before proceeding.
3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only (see
previous page to verify positions).Be sure the rack
connector brackets are at the rear of the range and
pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).
4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the
oven door open and the oven rack in place, install
one end of the connector arm to the hole in the door
connector bracket (Fig. 1) and the other end in the
hole in the rack connector bracket (Fig. 2 and as
in Fig. 3). The oven rack may need to be adjusted in
or out in the rack position to match the length of the
connector arm.
5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the
connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point
upwards (See Figs. 4 & 5). The connector arm should
now be locked into position.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.
7. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be
sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing
the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out
of the oven freely when the door is opened or closed.

IMPORTANT
Only the Effortless™ Oven Rack system should
be used in oven rack position 2. Placing ANY other
rack in oven rack position 2 will prevent the oven
door from fully closing and may damage the oven
door, oven cavity or the door connector brackets.
If the rack system is not assembled with the connector
arms the Effortless™ Oven rack may be used in oven
rack positions 2 thru 6. Do not attempt to use the
Effortless™ Oven rack in rack position 1.
Never pick up hot oven rack parts. Make sure the
oven and oven racks are COMPLETELY cool and safe to
touch before attempting to assemble or disassemble the
Effortless™ Oven Rack.
IMPORTANT
Remove ALL oven racks and accessories before
starting a self-clean cycle. If the oven racks are left
in the oven during self-clean, the glide ability of the
Effortless™ Oven Rack system will be damaged and will
cause oven racks to loose their shiny nish. Remove ALL
oven racks and clean according to instructions provided
in the Care & Cleaning section of this manual.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
The size and type of utensil used, the amount and type
of food being cooked will inuence the settings needed
to obtain the best cooking results.
Use quality cookware in good condition
Fig. 2
Set proper burner ame size
The color of the ame is the key to proper burner adjustment.
A good ame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted
room. Each cone of ame should be steady and sharp. Adjust
or clean burner if ame 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 below as a guide for determining proper
ame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)
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 undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too
much food at once as the food will neither brown or cook
properly.
Never extend the ame beyond the outer edge of the
cooking utensil. A higher ame wastes energy, and
increases your risk of being burned by the ame.
*These settings are based for medium-weight metal or
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using
other types of pans.
Correct ame

Incorrect
ame setting
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.
Fig. 1
NOTE
Cookware material types
The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of
food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware
resists staining & pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
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.
For the best possible
cooking results when using
the cooktop, always use
quality cookware in good
condition. Pans should
have at bottoms that sit
level on the burner grate.
Before using cookware,
check for atness by
rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware
(Fig. 1).
Do not place ammable items such as plastic
wrappings, spoon holders or plastic salt and pepper
shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items
could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden
spoons could catch re if placed too close to the range
cooktop.
Flame size* Type of cooking
High ame Start most foods; bring water to a boil;
pan broiling.
Medium ame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces,
gravies; steaming.
Low ame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
background
11
To prevent are-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
ame size.
To avoid possible burns DO NOT touch burner caps
or surface burner grates after using any of the surface
burners. The surface burner grates, caps, and areas
around them may still be very hot. Provide sufcient
time for these areas and the parts to completely cool
before handling.
Fig. 1 - correct burner cap
placement
Be sure to review the Care & Cleaning section for com-
plete detailed information about cleaning the burner caps
and proper burner cap placement.
Using the griddle (for models equipped with a
griddle only)
Before rst use:
Wash griddle in hot soapy water.
Rinse and dry completely.
Using the griddle:
Remove the center burner grate (some models) and
carefully replace with the griddle.
For best results, preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on
medium or a medium low setting. Slow preheating
provides more even heat distribution during the cooking
process. Do not preheat the griddle on Hi setting.
Preheating using a Hi burner setting may warp the griddle
and prevent even heat distribution.
After each use:
To prevent possible rusting, store in a dry place and
keep uncovered.
After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water
only, then rinse.
Dry immediately.
Do not clean griddle in the dishwasher.
Fig. 2 - incorrect burner cap
placement
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Check for proper burner cap placement
Visually check for proper burner cap placement before
operating any of the surface burners (See Fig.1).
If any of the surface burner caps appears to be resting
unevenly, not centered or appears unlevel on the burner
head (Fig. 2), be sure to correct the burner cap position on
the burner head before starting the surface burner.

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) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow their recommendations for canning procedures.
Setting surface controls
The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes
increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance
may be equipped with many different sized surface
burners.
It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the
amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner
and ame size appropriate for the cookware size.
The standard size burner or burners may be used for most
surface cooking needs. Use the smaller simmer burner
(some models) when simmering delicate sauces, etc.
The larger quick boil (some models) burner or burners
are best when used to bring large quantities of liquid to
temperature or when heating larger quantities of food.
Setting a surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner
grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the
burner grate.
2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn
counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the lite
position. Visually check that the burner has a steady
gas ame.
4. Once the surface burner has a ame, push the surface
control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the
desired ame size setting. Use the knob markings and
adjust the ame as needed.
Do not place ammable items such as plastic
wrappings, spoon holders or plastic salt and pepper
shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items
could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden
spoons could catch re if placed too close to the range
cooktop.
• DO NOT cook with a surface control knob left in the
lite position. The electronic ignitor will continue to
spark. Turn control knob out of lite position and adjust
the ame size.
• Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt on the range cooktop. If items melt the
they may permanently damage the appearance of the
cooktop.
Use only quality at bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
Use the highest heat seating when rst bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
When using two canners at the same time, stagger the
canners on the burners. This will allow for better air ow
to the burners. Do not block air to the burners.
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This
may cause uneven heating results.
NOTES
When setting a surface control knob to the lite position,
all the electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same
time. However, only the surface burner you are setting
will ignite.
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners may be lit manually. To light a surface burner,
hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn
the surface control knob to lite. Once the burner
ignites, push in and turn knob out of lite then to
the desired ame setting. Use caution when lighting
surface burners manually.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Quick bake (some models)
Benets of the quick bake feature
— Foods will cook faster, saving time and energy.
— Multiple rack baking.
— No special pans or bakeware needed.
How quick bake works
Quick bake uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven. This
improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking
and browning results. It also gives better baking results
when using two racks at the same time.
Heated air ows around the food from all sides, sealing
in juices and avors. Meats cooked with quick bake are
juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender
and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more
evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be
cooked faster and more evenly with quick bake.
Suggestions for quick bake
When quick baking these things apply:
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.
When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in
positions 3 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 1).
When roasting
Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
quick bake.
Since quick bake may reduce cooktime, reduce
the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook
time of your recipe. Check the food at this time.
If necessary, increase cook time until the desired
doneness is obtained.
Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will
prevent the air from circulating around the food.
Setting quick bake
The oven may be programmed to quick bake at any
temperature from 300°F to 550°F (149°C to 287°C).
The factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F
(177°C).
To set quick bake:
1. Press . “— — —” appears in the display.
2. Press the or keypad. The display will show
350°F (177°C). By pressing or holding down the or
keypad, the temperature may be adjusted in 5°F
increments (1°C if the control is set to display Celsius).
Release the keypad when the desired temperature
appears in the display.
3. As soon as the or keypad is released, the
oven will begin heating to the selected temperature.
When the displayed temperature reaches the desired
baking temperature, the preheat indicator light will
turn OFF and the control will beep 3 times.
To stop quick bake at any time, press .
To change the oven temperature after quick bake
has started:
1. Press keypad.
2. If necessary, press the or keypad to increase
or decrease the oven set temperature.
NOTES
Layer cakes will have better results using the bake
feature.
When using quick bake (some models) cook time
reductions may vary depending on the amount and
type of food being cooked.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, Rare fresh
beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to
only 140°F/60°C means some food poisoning organisms
may survive. (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen
Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature
recommended by the USDA is 145°F/63°C for medium
rare fresh beef.
Easy probe
For the best results when cooking
many foods such as roasts, hams
or poultry, use the easy probe
feature. This feature also works
well with foods such as meat loaf
and casseroles.
The easy probe will provide you
with the internal temperature
of the food during cooking
and eliminates any need for
guesswork.
For some foods, especially poultry
or roasts, checking the internal
temperature is the best way to
insure properly cooked food.
Use only the probe originally provided with this
appliance. Connecting any other probe or device to
the probe receptacle could result in damage to the
oven control, electronics and the probe receptacle.
To avoid damaging the probe, handle the probe
carefully when inserting and removing from food or
the probe receptacle. Do not use tongs to pull on
the probe or probe cable. Always defrost frozen foods
completely before inserting the probe into food.
When removing the probe from the receptacle or
food, always remove using the probe handles (Fig. 1).
Remove the probe from the oven when nished. To
avoid damaging the probe do not store the probe
inside the oven.
Always double check that the probe is removed
from the oven interior before starting self-clean.
The probe is not designed to withstand the high
temperatures produced during a self-clean cycle.
Do not use the probe without the probe properly
inserted into the probe receptacle and the food. To
protect the probe when inserted in the receptacle,
the oven will automatically turn OFF if the probe
temperature sensor reaches 300°F (149°C) or more.
Provided below are the minimum internal temperatures
that foods must reach to be considered safe to eat, no
matter how you prepare them.
Do not remove the probe from receptacle or food until
the desired internal temperature is reached. If the
probe is removed from the receptacle the probe feature
will automatically cancel but the oven will remain ON.
If the probe is removed from the food only, the internal
food temperature reading will no longer be accurate.
The easy probe feature cannot be set when broil or
self-clean is active. If the probe is inserted into the
receptacle and the broil or self-clean keypad is pressed,
the oven control will sound a triple beep error message
and the oven will not activate.
If the probe is disconnected from the receptacle and
the easy probe keypad is pressed, the display will
show - - - (about 3 seconds), indicating the probe is
not active.
To avoid the possibility of burns after cooking, always
use caution when disconnecting the probe from the
receptacle or food. The probe may be hot. Be sure to
use a pot holder to protect hands.

Easy probe (cont’d)
To set easy probe:
1. Prepare food and properly insert the probe sensor into
the middle portion of the food (See Figs. 2 & 3). The
probe should be inserted into the food before starting
the cooking process and while the oven is still cool.
2. Place the prepared food on desired oven rack position
and slide rack completely inside the oven.
3. Insert the probe connector completely into the probe
receptacle (Fig. 1) located at the upper left front side
of the oven interior.
4. In a few seconds a tone will sound and the indicator
light located above the easy probe keypad will turn ON
indicating that the probe is functioning correctly.
5. Close the oven door. Set the oven for bake or quick
bake and if needed, adjust to the desired baking
temperature.
6. To display the internal food temperature press
keypad at any time while cooking. The food internal
temperature will appear for about 3 seconds and the
display will revert back to the set oven temperature.
From time to time during the cooking process, press
the easy probe keypad to check on the internal food
temperature, especially as the temperature approaches
the desired target.
7. When the desired internal food temperature is reached,
press cancel to stop bake or quick bake.
8. Open oven door and using a pot holder carefully
unplug the probe from the probe receptacle. The range
interior, probe, cookware and food may be very hot.
9. Remove food from oven and carefully remove the probe
sensor from the food.
Probe error message:
Should the oven control display the error message PErr,
it may be that the probe connector is not fully inserted
into the probe receptacle (see Fig. 1) or that the probe has
overheated. When this message displays, the control will
not allow any oven feature to activate until corrected.
Remove the probe from the receptacle, then reconnect
probe into the receptacle (check that it is fully inserted
into the receptacle). Be sure the probe sensor is covered
by food and not exposed to avoid overheating.
If the probe is properly connected into the receptacle and
properly positioned into the food but the error message
remains displayed, the probe might be defective and need
replaced. If so, remove the probe from the oven and call
your authorized service agent for assistance. You may
continue to use the oven without the probe feature.
Proper probe placement in food:
Always insert the probe so that the probe tip rests in
the center of the thickest part of meat or food. For best
results, do not allow probe temperature sensor tip to
contact any bone, fat, gristle or the cookware.
For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the
center of lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such
as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center
of food. (See Fig. 2).
When cooking sh, insert meat probe just above the gill.
For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe
temperature sensor into the thickest part of the breast
without touching bone (See Fig. 3).

SELF-CLEANING
Fig. 1
Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
Preparing for self-clean
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself using high temperatures
that are well above normal cooking temperatures. The
self-clean feature, if used properly, will eliminate soils from
the oven completely or reduce them to a ne powdered
ash. Once the oven has cooled, simply wipe away the ash
using a damp cloth.
Your oven provides three self-cleaning duration choices. A
3-hour cleaning time for normal cleaning; a 2-hour clean
for lighter soils and a 4-hour option for heavier burnt-on
soils (some models).
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.
IMPORTANT
Read before starting self-clean
Remove all items from the oven and cooktop,
including food, cookware, utensils, plastic and
any aluminum foil and temp probe (if equipped).
Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures
generated during a self-clean cycle.
Remove all oven racks and any accessories
from the oven to avoid possible heat damage. If
the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.
The Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) must be
removed before starting self-clean to avoid damaging
the glide ability of the rack.
Be sure the oven vent area is clear.
Remove all items from the storage drawer (some
models) or warming drawer (some models).
Be sure the oven light shield is in place. Turn off the
oven light.
Remove any excessive spillovers. Spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
before starting self-clean. To clean, use hot, soapy
water and a cloth. Large food spillovers can cause
heavy smoke or a re during self-clean.
Remove any food spills from oven that have a high
sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie lling) before starting
a self-clean cycle. If they are not removed they may
leave a dull spot even after self-cleaning.
Clean any soil from the outer oven frame, the door
liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area
at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean using
soap and water before starting self-clean. These areas
(See Fig. 1) heat sufciently to burn soil on.
Do not clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1).
Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door
gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door
gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or remove the gasket.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or protective
coatings of any kind inside oven. Residue from oven
cleaners may damage the porcelain during the next
self-clean cycle.

CARE & CLEANING
Cleaning the cooktop and surface burners
To clean the burner head ignition ports
Each burner head has a small ignition port (See Fig. 1).
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 (center burner not
shown).
To avoid possible burns DO NOT attempt any of the
cleaning instructions provided below before turning OFF
all of the surface burners and allow them to cool.
Replacing interior oven light

3. Remove glass shield. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt
appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder
into place.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug
the range back in).
6. The clock will need to be reset. To reset review
“Setting the clock” section in this manual.
wire
holder
glass
shield
The interior oven light is
located at the rear of the
oven interior back wall
and is protected with a
glass shield held by a wire
holder.
The glass shield must
always be in place
to protect and shield
the oven interior light
whenever using the oven.
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.
Aluminum foil and oven liners
Using a liner in the
oven restricts the heat
and air ow needed to
obtain the best possible
cooking results for any
oven, including the
warmer drawer (on
some models).
Do not use oven bottom liners or use aluminum foil to
cover the oven bottom or any oven racks.
Fig. 1 - Cooktop burner head
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 ow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may
trap heat, causing a re hazard.
Aluminum foil and oven liners (cont’d)
During self-clean the oven temperature can become hot
enough to melt aluminum cooking utensils or aluminum
foil if left in the oven. This could result in damage to the
oven interior porcelain nish.
To clean the surface burner heads
For proper gas ow it may be necessary to clean the
burner head and slots. To clean, rst 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, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean.
IMPORTANT
The burner heads are secured to the cooktop and must
be cleaned in place. DO NOT remove from cooktop.
For proper ow of gas and ignition of burners DO NOT
allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas orice port opening.
