IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IIMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR GAS COOKTOP
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 under-
sized 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.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot.
Do not use water or flour on grease fires.
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher. Cover the fire with a
pan lid or use baking soda.
Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Do not let potholders touch hot cooking areas.
Do not use towels or other bulky cloths.
Do not heat unopened food containers - Build-
up of pressure may cause container to burst
and result in injury.
Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other
flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not touch surface burners or elements,
areas near these burners or elements, interior
surfaces of the oven, or the warmer drawer (if
equipped). Surface burners and elements may
be hot even though they appear cool. Areas
near surface burners and elements may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials touch these areas until
they are cool. These areas may include the
cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent
areas, oven door, and oven window.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to operate the appliance during
a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off
the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off
and the power resumes, electric surface
elements may resume operation when power is
restored. Once the power resumes, reset the
clock and the oven function.
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 relationship of utensil to flame will also
improve efficiency.
CAUTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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, 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 you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, after-
market oven liners, or any other materials or
devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any
other part of the appliance. 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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR APPLIANCE
Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow
grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan
could catch fire.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended
directions for use of kitchen cleaners and
aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from
cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and injury.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently - Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or
filter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning vent hoods.
Before manually cleaning any part of the appli-
ance, be sure all controls are turned off and the
appliance is cool. Cleaning a hot appliance can
cause burns.

Control locations of the gas surface burners
Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with
different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in
larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.
The small simmer burner is best used for simmering
delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear
burner position on the cooktop. The standard burner can be
used for most surface cooking needs. The standard burners
are located at the left front and left rear positions on the
cooktop.
The power burners are best used for bringing large quanti-
ties of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing
larger quantities of food. The power burner is located at the
right front position on the cooktop. Regardless of size,
always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size
appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend
beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Assembly of the surface burner caps and burner
grates
It is very important to make sure that all of the surface
burner caps and surface burner grates are installed
correctly and at the correct locations.
1. Remove all packing material from cooktop area.
2. Discard all packing material (if applicable).
3. Unpack burner grates and position on the cooktop.
The word REAR is stamped on the back of the burner
grates to help assure that the proper end of the grates
are placed to the rear of the cooktop.
The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on
the cooktop.
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.
IMPORTANT

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Operating the gas surface controls
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclock-
wise out of the OFF position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (see
figures 1 & 2). Note: All four electronic surface ignitors
will spark at the same time. However, only the burner
you are turning on will ignite.
4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.
5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired
flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a
particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings to
adjust the flame as needed. Do not cook with the
surface control knob in the LITE position. (The elec
-
tronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in
the LITE position.)
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners can 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. After burner lights turn the knob to
desired setting.
Setting proper surface burner flame size
For most cooking: Start on the highest control setting and
then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the
recommendations below as a guide for determining proper
flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of
utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will
influence the setting needed.
Figure 2: Operating the gas knob
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the
range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if
placed too close to a flame. 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.
CAUTION

Figure 3: Gas flame adjustment
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the
utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases the risk of being burned by the gas flame.
Do not straddle cookware over two cooking surfaces
unless the cookware is designed for that purpose such as
griddles.
Settings based on using medium weight metal or
aluminum pans. Settings may vary using other types of
pans. The color of the flame is key to proper burner
adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue, and hardly visible
in a well lit room. Each cone of the flame should be
steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

Setting Surface Controls
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.
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 coun-
terclockwise out of the OFF position.
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE
position. Visually check that the burner is 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.
Figure 4: Setting single burner
OFF
LITE
HI
.
.
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.
When operating the oven, it is possible for residual
heat from the oven to build-up and over time to even
-
tually transfer to the surface control knobs located
directly above the oven door.
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.
The cooktop should not be used during a self-clean
cycle. On some models, turning on any cooktop
surface burner will cause the clean cycle to cancel. If
the clean cycle is canceled, the oven control display
will show “SPr" for 5 seconds. The oven door will
remain locked until the oven has cooled down below
cleaning temperature. If the oven is below cleaning
temperature, the user can start another clean cycle
immediately. If the oven is in cleaning temperature
range, another self-clean cycle can be set once the
door unlocks (up to 4 hours).

SETTING SURFACE BURNERS
Setting Double Ring Burner (some models)
The versatile Double Ring surface burner offers a complete
range of gas surface settings from the same burner
position.
At the lowest setting, only the burner’s inner ring is active,
using a smaller flame perfect for simmering. The burner’s
outer ring when set for HI will provide a gas flame that may
be used to bring a large pan of liquid to boil quickly.
Operating the Double Ring Burner:
1. Push right front surface burner control knob in and turn
counterclockwise out of the OFF position and rotate to
the LITE position.
2. Visually check that both inner and outer rings for the
Double Ring burner are lit (
Figure 5). Once lit, turn the
control counterclockwise and adjust to the desired
flame size.
3. When adjusting for a low or simmer type flame setting,
continue to rotate the control knob counterclockwise
from HI setting towards LO (
Figure 6). When the knob is
turned close enough towards the LO setting, the flame
for the outer ring portion of the burner will turn off
leaving only the inner burner with a flame for simmering
(
Figure 5). Make any further flame adjustments as
needed..
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 perma
-
nently damage the cooktop surface.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow recommendations for home canning procedures.
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed
1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time unless
the cooktop is designed for such a purpose.

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.
Type of oven racks
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 addi-
tional step down positions from the standard flat rack
design. The offset design positions the base of the rack
about ½ of a rack position lower than the flat rack and
may be used in most oven rack positions.
Figure 8: Oven vent location
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven
racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.
Remove all oven racks and clean according to instruc-
tions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this
manual. Never pick up hot oven racks or parts.
All oven racks should be removed before a self clean
operation. Racks left in the oven during the high heat of
the self clean function can easily discolor.
The ability of the racks to easily slide in and out along the
rack positions may also be affected.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other
parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter
heat distribution and may cause permanent damage to
the oven interior.
Protective Liners — Only use aluminum foil as recom-
mended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
During self clean the oven temperatures will be hot
enough to melt foil.

For best bake results:
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads. When using any single
rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of
the oven.
The convection fan will be on during preheat and then
turn off and on occasionally as needed.
For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 3 (offset rack) and 5 (flat
rack)
Figure 12.
When baking using two oven racks, position cookware
as shown in
Figure 13. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of
space between cookware for proper air circulation.
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper
-
ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny
bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
Important: For batter and dough-based baked goods such
as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection function
for best results
.
Use the bake function whenever a recipe calls for normal
baking. When the set bake temperature is reached the
control will sound a chime to alert that the oven is fully
preheated.
Bake may be set for any temperature between (170°F
77°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Convection Cooking
This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best results
when baking with multiple pans and racks. The oven can be
programmed for convection baking at any temperature
between 170°F to 550°F with a default temperature of
350°F. The convection fan will turn on after 6 minutes and
remain on during the convection baking process.
The convection function uses a fan to circulate the oven
heat uniformly and continuously around the oven
(
Figure 14). This improved heat distribution allows for fast,
even cooking and browning results. It also gives better
baking results when using two oven racks at the same time.
Benefits of convection cooking:
Multiple rack baking.
Some foods may cook faster.
Convection baking tips:
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
If your recipe cooking temperature has already been
converted for convection baking, there is no need to
reduce your oven temperature. If not, you can easily
reduce the cooking temperature using the Convection
Convert feature. Please see “Setting Convection
Convert” on
page 18 for further instructions on tempera-
ture conversion.
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 using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 3 with offset rack and 5
using flat rack (See
Figure 14).
When baking using two oven racks, position cookware
as shown in
Figure 15. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of
space between cookware for proper air circulation.
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper
-
ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny
bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
Do not open oven door too often. Doing so reduces
oven temperature and may extend cooking time.
Most baked goods (except cakes) should be baked on
pans with no sides or low sides to allow air to circulate.
Setting Convection Bake
This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best results
when baking with multiple pans and racks. The oven can be
programmed for convection baking at any temperature
between 170°F to 550°F.
To set the oven for convection bake and temperature to
350°F:
1. Arrange interior oven racks.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to CONVECT BAKE.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 350°F.
The oven temperature light will blink for a few seconds
before sounding a chime confirming the setting. The
convection fan will turn on 6 minutes after the oven begins
heating. Once the oven reaches the set temperature the
oven will sound a chime indicating the food items can be
placed in the oven.
When finished baking, be sure to return both the tempera-
ture selector knob and the oven mode knob to the OFF
positions.

Setting Convection Convert
This feature must be set before selecting the oven mode
and oven temperature by using the user preference setting
in the oven display.
Convection convert automatically converts a standard
baking recipe for convection baking. Convection convert
may only be used with a convection bake cooking mode.
Because convection baking generally cooks food faster
than normal baking, food items should be checked for
doneness before the suggested normal recipe cook times.
To set convection convert:
1. The oven temperature selector must be in the OFF
position. Turn the oven mode selector to CONVECT
BAKE.
2. Press and hold both the oven light icon and the clock
icon for about 3 seconds until Aut° (Automatic convec
-
tion convert) appears in the display.
3. Press either the or + key until ON appears.
4. Turn the oven mode selector to the OFF position. The
oven will accept the convection convert setting with an
acceptance chime and the control will return to display
the time of day. The convection bake function will now
automatically convert normal baking temperatures for
convection baking.
5. To change back to regular convection baking, repeat
the same steps in this process and press the + or - key
until OFF appears. Once the control accepts the
change with a chime, turn the oven mode selector to
OFF.
Setting Convection Roast
Convection roast is best for cooking tender cuts of beef,
lamb, pork, and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed
is desired. Convection roasting gently browns the exterior
and seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the bake
element, convection element, and fan to circulate the heat
evenly and continuously within the oven.
Convection roasting tips:
Use a broiler pan and grid, as well as a roasting rack
(available by mail order). The broiler pan will catch
grease drippings, and the grid will help prevent spatters.
The roasting rack will hold the meat. Make sure the
roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler
pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the grid or cover
the grid with aluminum foil.
Pull the rack out to the stop position before removing
food. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.
Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will reduce
the temperature in the oven and may increase the
cooking time necessary for best results.
It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting
rack. Use a deep pan and place on rack position 1
(offset rack).
To set oven for convection roasting:
1. Place meat on roasting rack and place in oven.
2. Turn oven mode selector to CONV ROAST.
3. Turn oven temperature selector to desired roasting
temperature.
Note: Preheating the oven for convection roasting is not
necessary. At this time you may want to set TIMER as a
reminder for checking food.
Figure 16: Convection convert off (L) and on (R)
Should an oven fire occur, do not open oven door, turn off
the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the
fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on
the fire. Flour may be explosive, and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.

Using the Broil Feature
Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct expo-
sure to radiant heat for optimum browning results.
Caution: Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
working with a hot oven. When broiling, the oven interior,
oven racks and cooktop will become hot enough to cause
burns. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert. The
insert is slotted and allows the grease to drain away from the
meat and the high heat of the broiler into the broiler pan. Do
not cover the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil; the
exposed grease could ignite.
WARNING! If an oven fire occurs, turn oven off. If the fire
continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extin
-
guisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour can be
explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread
possibly causing personal injury.To prevent grease splat
-
tering, use the broil pan and insert when broiling.
To set broil:
1. Arrange oven racks while oven is cool.
2. Turn the mode selector knob to broil. The corre-
sponding indicator light will flash.
3. Turn the temperature selector knob to broil. The
indicator light will turn on and remain lit. For optimum
browning results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before
adding food.
4. Place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the
broiler pan directly under the broiler flame. Broil with
door closed. Always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.
5. Turn the temperature and the selector knobs to OFF

Meat Probe
Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods
such as roasts, hams or poultry, using a probe to check
internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly
cooked food. Before using the meat probe read the
important information listed here:
Proper placement of probe in food.
Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the
center of the thickest part of meat or food (
Figure 20).
For best results, do not allow the probe to contact 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 meatloaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center
of food.
When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe into the
thickest part of the breast.
To set probe:
1. Insert the probe into the food. Place prepared food on
the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven.
2. Plug the connector end of the probe into the probe
receptacle while the oven is still cool. The receptacle is
located on the upper left front oven cavity wall.
The probe feature must be set before setting the
cooking mode and oven temperature.
If a timer is running when the meat probe is plugged
in, the control will sound a triple beep once and the
timer will keep running. The timer must be canceled
before the probe temperature can be set.
If the meat probe is unplugged during cooking
function, or plugged in during BROIL, the oven will
stop cooking and turn off.
If the meat probe is plugged in while the oven is in a
function that allows for the meat probe, the control will
sound a triple beep indicating that the meat probe is
not allowed to be plugged in while the oven is
running. After the alert, the oven will continue to cook
to the set oven temperature.
If no cooking mode is selected within 30 seconds of
setting the target temperature, the oven mode
indicator light will stop blinking. The display will
continue to show the meat probe settings until an
allowable cooking cycle is selected.
When the meat probe is set correctly, the control will
signal an alert when the internal food temperature
reaches the desired set target temperature. When
active, the internal food temperature is visible in the
display during the cooking process. This eliminates
any guesswork or the need to open the oven door to
check the thermometer.
Note: If the meat probe is plugged while the oven is in a
function which allows probe cooking, it may be set the
following way:
1. Cancel the active cooking function. The display will
show the meat probe icon and temperature 000°.
2. The meat probe temperature can now be set and the
control will sound an acceptance chime. The oven
mode indicator light will blink until an allowable
cooking function is selected.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature
The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. When
first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and
temperatures.
If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the
temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven
temperature to be more or less than what is displayed by
accessing the UPO (User Programmable Offset).
Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature
setting higher or lower than the recommended temperature.
The baking results should help you to decide how much of
an adjustment is needed.
To adjust the oven temperature:
Important: Make sure both the oven mode selector and the
oven temperature selector are in the OFF position.
1. Press and hold both the light icon and the clock icon at
the same time for a few seconds until the display
sounds an acceptance chime. AUd should appear in
the display.
2. Press the + key in the upper part of the display until
UPO appears and the default setting of
(or the last
set temperature offset) is showing.
3. Using the + or - key in the bottom of the display, press
until the desired temperature change (offset) is
reached. The display will change
± with each key
press to a maximum of
+ 35° or a minimum of – 35°F.
If a lower temperature offset is desired, press the key in
the bottom of the display until the desired lower tempera
-
ture appears.
Once the new offset appears in the display, release the key
and the control will accept the change.
4. To return the display to normal, press and hold both the
oven light icon and the clock icon at the same time
until an acceptance chime sounds. The display will
return to show the time of day.
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 to 40 degrees from actual temperatures.

OVEN CONTROLS
Self Cleaning
A self cleaning oven cleans itself with temperatures well
above normal cooking temperatures which eliminate soils
completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can
wipe away with a damp cloth.
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to tempera-
ture much higher than those used in normal cooking.
Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal.
Odor is also normal because the food soil is being removed.
Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
T
Adhere to the following self clean precautions:
Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings
in or around any part of the oven interior.
Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 26). 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 any cleaning materials on the oven door
gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils, and
any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high
cleaning temperatures and may melt.
Completely remove all oven racks and any accesso-
ries. If the oven racks are not removed, they will lose
their special coating properties and no longer slide in
and out of the oven cavity easily.
Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven
bottom should be wiped-up and removed before
starting the self cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot,
soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause
heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high tempera
-
tures.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices, or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they
may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
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. These areas heat
sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
These areas are shown in white (
Figure 26).
IMPORTANT
The cooktop should not be used during a self-clean
cycle. On some models, turning on any cooktop
surface burner will cause the clean cycle to cancel. If
the clean cycle is canceled, the oven control display
will show “SPr" for 5 seconds. The oven door will
remain locked until the oven has cooled down below
cleaning temperature. If the oven is below cleaning
temperature, the user can start another clean cycle
immediately. If the oven temperature was high
enough when self clean was interrupted, another self-
clean cycle can be set 4 hours after the door unlocks.
During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the range
can become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
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.
Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use caution when
opening the door after the self cleaning cycle is complete.
The oven may still be very hot.
Figure 26: Clean around the oven door gasket
To avoid possible burns, use care when opening the oven
door after the self cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the
oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to
escape.
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 surface of the oven).

OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Clean
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a clean
cycle, remember to allow time for the oven to cool down
and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one
hour. A 3 hour self clean cycle will actually take about 4
hours to complete.
It is recommended to use a 2 hour self clean cycle for light
soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for
heavy soils.
To set the controls for a 3 hour self clean cycle and
shut off automatically:
1. Turn both the oven mode and oven temperature
selectors to CLEAN. The display will show a 3 hour
time (normal clean) and the
and + keys.
2. If a 3 hour clean is desired, the control will accept the
time within 3 seconds. However, the user may select a
2 or 4 hour clean by using the – or + keys to change to
the desired clean time and then allow the control to
accept the change.
Once the control accepts the clean time the display will
flash a reminder for the user to REMOVE RACKS.
The REMOVE RACKS notification will flash for a few
seconds prompting the user to remove all oven racks. If the
oven door is opened as this time the display will show CLO
to indicate that the door must be closed before the clean
cycle can begin. If the door remains open for more than 3
minutes, the clean function will be canceled.
When the oven is set to run the self clean cycle, the motor
door lock will begin locking the oven door. Do not open the
oven door while the lock motor is running or when any
locking indicators or displays are showing. The oven door is
completely locked in about 15 seconds.

3. Once the door is closed the time of day will be visible
along with the selected clean time and the door lock
icon will be visible in the display.
4. During the clean cycle the time of day remains in the
display and the time remaining in the clean cycle will
also be active.(
Figure 32)
5. When the clean cycle ends the oven will be too hot for
the door to unlock until the oven cools to a safe temper
-
ature. This may take up to an hour. During this time the
display will show Hot along with the door lock icon.
6. At this point CLn will appear in the display and the lock
icon will blink and the control will signal the end of the
clean cycle with a chime. The internal oven temperature
will still be hot enough to cause burns.
Caution: Be careful when opening and stand to the side to
allow any steam and heat to escape.
Note: Once the clean cycle ends the oven will not be
available for another clean for 4 hours.
To cancel a self clean before it ends:
Turn both the oven selector knob and the oven temperature
knob to the OFF position.

CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the cooktop and surface burners
To avoid possible burns turn off all of the surface burners
and allow them to 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.
To clean 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.
To clean burner grates
Clean when the grates are cool. Use nonabrasive
plastic scrubbing pad and mild abrasive cleanser.
Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean
immediately after the grates are cool. Thoroughly dry
grates immediately following cleaning.
To clean 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 imme
-
diately following cleaning including the bottom and
inside of cap.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not clean burner caps
in the dishwasher. Do not operate surface burners
without burner caps properly in place.
To clean the surface burner heads
For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner
head and slots. 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 wipe
up using a damp cloth. For stubborn soils located in the
slots, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean. The
electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care not to hit the
electrode with any thing hard or it could be damaged.
To clean the burner head ignition ports
Each burner head has a small ignition port (Figure 35).
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.
Replacing the oven light

Solutions to Common Problems
Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time and expense. Possible solutions are provided with the
problem listed:
Problem Solution
Poor baking results Many factors effect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the oven and
space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat oven to the set temperature before placing food in
the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. See
“Adjusting
the Oven Temperature” on page 24 if you feel the oven is too hot or cold.
Appliance is not level Be sure floor is level, strong and stable enough to adequately support range. If floor is sagging or
sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven and place a level on the oven rack. Adjust
leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square and
have sufficient room for appliance clearance.
Cannot move appliance easily.
Appliance must be accessible for
service.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tight to allow clearance for appliance. Contact builder or
installer to make appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so appliance can be lifted over carpet.

Burner caps are not seated properly. Check that all surface burner caps are level and seated
correctly on surface burner heads.
Incorrect L.P. conversion. Refer to L.P. conversion kit instructions to correct.
The oven control display shows “SPr"
and self-clean is not working.
The cooktop should not be used during a self-clean cycle. On some models, turning on any
cooktop surface burner will cause the clean cycle to cancel. If the clean cycle is canceled, the
oven control display will show “SPr" for 5 seconds. The oven door will remain locked until the
oven has cooled down below cleaning temperature. If the oven is below cleaning temperature,
the user can start another clean cycle immediately. If the oven temperature was high enough
when self clean was interrupted, another self-clean cycle can be set 4 hours after the door
unlocks..
