ANTI-TIP DEVICE

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range

must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip

bracket. See installation instructions shipped

with the bracket for complete details before

attempting to install.

For Free-Standing Ranges

To check if the bracket is installed, ensure

there is no cookware on top of the range and all

surfaces are cool to the touch. Carefully slide

out the range from the wall approximately three

inches. Look behind the range to see if there is

a metal bracket attached to the floor or the wall. To check if the bracket is installed correctly, grasp the back of

the range, being careful not to grab or bend the rear trim piece. Tilt the range forward

slightly and confirm the anti-tip bracket engages the back of the range, limiting the

forward tip of the range. If the anti-tip bracket does not engage the range and prevent

it from tipping, verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed. If this does not

solvetheproblemortheanti-tipbracketisnotpresent,call800.626.8774intheUSor

800.561.3344 in Canada.

If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify

the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip

device properly.

Anti-Tip

Bracket

Free-Standing Ranges

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

• Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly

Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass Cooktops

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from

getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the surface units off

for a time if:

■ thepanboilsdry.

■ thepanbottomisnotflat.

■ thepanisoff-center.

■ thereisnopanontheunit.

Radiant Glass Cooktop

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a

smooth glass surface.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is

used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new

parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a

short time.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is

normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot

or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as

the glass cools to room temperature.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your

selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface

even when the cooktop is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass

cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To

avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units

when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the

surface unit until it has cooled completely.

Oven Controls

To Adjust the Thermostat

1. Pull the Oven Temp knob off the range and look

at the back side. To make an adjustment, loosen

(approximatelyoneturn),butdonotcompletely

remove, the two screws on the back of the knob.

2. With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer

edge of the knob with one hand and with the other

hand rotate the skirt.

Rotate the skirt clockwise to increase and

counterclockwise to decrease the oven temperature.

You’ll hear a click for each notch you move the knob.

Each click will change the oven temperature

approximately10°F.(Rangeisplusorminus

30°Ffromthearrow.)Wesuggestthatyoumake

the adjustment one click from the original setting

and check oven performance before making any

additional adjustments.

3. After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so

they are snug, but be careful not to overtighten.

4. Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the knob

to the shaft, and check performance.

Donotusethermometers,suchasthosefoundin

grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your

oven. These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

Oven Temperature Knob

Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the setting you want.

TheOven/Cyclelightcomesonwhentheburnerison.It

will cycle on and off during cooking.

Front of OVEN TEMP knob

(knobappearancemayvary)

Certain models comply with Jewish Sabbath requirements for use during the Sabbath and holidays.

Start Baking

To start baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the

desiredtemperature.Becauseathermostatmodelwill

respond with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob

is used to turn on the oven, this operation should take

place before the Sabbath or Holidays begin.

Adjusting the Temperature

To adjust the oven temperature while in compliance with

Sabbath requirements, the user must observe the oven

ON indicator light:

■Toadjusttheoventemperaturetoahighervalue,

the user must first confirm the "OVEN ON" light is

on. Only then, can the user turn the knob to a higher

temperature than was previously set.

■

To adjust the oven temperature to a lower value, the user

must first confirm the "OVEN ON" light is off. Only then,

can the user turn the knob to a lower temperature than

was previously set.

Stop Baking

To stop baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the off

position.Becauseathermostatmodelwillrespondwitha

clicking sound when the thermostat knob is used to turn

off the oven, this operation should take place after the

Sabbath or Holidays end.

Oven Light Operation (on some models)

The oven light can be set to either on or off prior to the

start of the Sabbath or the holiday. Opening and closing

of the door will not change the state of the oven light.

Sabbath Mode Power Outage Note

If a power outage occurs during a Sabbath bake, the unit

will return to Sabbath bake mode when power is restored

and the oven will return to the same temperature as

before the outage, without any intervention from the user.

USING THE RANGE:OvenRacks/AluminumFoilandOvenLiners

CAUTION

Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat

or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of

these items is not covered by the product warranty.

Foilmaybeusedtocatchspillsbyplacingasheetonalowerrack,severalinchesbelowthefood.Donotusemore

foilthannecessaryandneverentirelycoveranovenrackwithaluminumfoil.Keepfoilatleast1-1/2”fromovenwalls

to prevent poor heat circulation.

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

Rack Positions

Your oven has four rack positions in the main oven.

Recommended rack positions for various types of

foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting

the rack position is one way to impact cooking results.

For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes,

muffins or cookies, try moving food one rack position

higher. If you find foods are too brown on top, try moving

them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,

ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow

air to flow. This may improve cooking evenness.

Removing and Replacing Flat Racks

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out

tothebump(stopposition)ontheracksupport.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the

stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.

To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto

the rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and push

the rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and push

it in until it is all the way into the oven.

Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a

self-clean cycle. To improve sliding conditions, use a soft

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking

performance.

Dark,coatedanddullpansabsorbheatmorereadily

than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more

readily can result in a browner, crisper and thicker crust.

If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier

than the minimum cook time. If undesirable results are

obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing

oven temperature by 25º F next time.

■ Shinypanscanproducemoreevenlycookedbaked

goods such as cakes and cookies.

■ Glassandceramicpansheatslowlybutretainheat

well. These types of pans work well for dishes such

as pies and custards.

■ Airinsulatedpansheatslowlyandcanreducebottom

■ Keepcookwarecleantopromoteevenheating.

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below.

Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform

differently than the oven it is replacing.

Bake

The bake mode is for baking and roasting. When

preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies and

pastries, always preheat the oven first. To use this mode

turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.

Warm (on some models)

Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot. Cover

foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods

thatshouldbecrisp.Preheatingisnotrequired.Donot

use Warm to heat cold food. It is recommended that food

not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. To use this

mode turn the thermostat knob to Warm.

Broil

Always broil with the oven door and drawer closed.

Monitorfoodcloselywhilebroiling.Usecautionwhen

broiling on the upper rack positions as placing food

closer to the broil burner increases smoking, splattering,

and the possibility of fats igniting.

Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust

rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the

food. Place foods closer to the broil burner when a

seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods

and foods that need to be cooked through should be

broiled on a lower rack position. To use this mode turn

the thermostat knob to the Broil setting.

Pre-Heat

Proper preheating ensures that the oven is hot enough

tobeginbaking.Improperpreheating(thatis,cooking

intheoventhathasnotcomeuptosettemperature)

cannegativelyaffectcooking.Dependingontherecipe

recommendations, the temperature of your foods when

they go into the oven may determine your final baking

time and baking results; if you put your food, such as

biscuits or breads, in during Pre-heat, they may over

brown on top or burn.

IMPORTANT: The more items to be heated in the oven

duringpreheat(thisincludesmultipleracks,baking

stones,etc.)willaffectthelengthofyourpre-heattime.

Always begin baking after the pre-heat signal. The signal

will be a beep, indicaotr light or chime. This lets you

know your oven is at your needed baking temperature.

For best results, turn the oven On before you begin your

prep work.

My new oven doesn't

cook like my old one.

Is something wrong

with the temperature

settings?

Your new oven has a different cooking

system from your old oven and therefore

may cook differently than your old oven.

For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and

temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven

is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature

yourself to meet your specific cooking preference.

NOTE:ThisadjustmentaffectsBaketemperatures;it

willnotaffectBroil.

Troubleshooting Tips ... Beforeyoucallforservice

Problem Possible Cause What To Do

Food does not bake

properly

Oven controls improperly set. See the Cooking Modes section.

Rack position is incorrect or rack is not level. See the Cooking Modes section and Cooking Guide.

Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper

size being used.

See the Cookware section.

Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Oven Controls section.

Ingredient substitution Substituting ingredients can change the recipe

outcome.

Food does not broil

properly

Oven controls improperly set. Make sure you select the appropriate broil mode.

Improper rack position being used. See Cooking Guide for rack location suggestions.

Food being cooked in a hot pan. Make sure cookware is cool.

Cookware not suited for broiling. Useapanspecificallydesignedforbroiling.

Aluminum foil used on the broiling pan and

grid has not been fitted properly and slit as

recommended.

If using aluminum foil conform to pan slits.

Insomeareasthepower(voltage)maybelow. Preheat the broil element for 10 minutes.

Oven temperature

too hot or too cold

Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Oven Controls section or adjust the

thermostat.

Oven does not work

or appears not to

work

A fuse in your home may be blown or the

circuit breaker tripped.

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

Oven controls improperly set. SeetheUsingtheOvensection.

Oven is in Sabbath Mode. Verify, that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode. See the

Oven Controls section.

“Crackling” or

“popping” sound

This is the sound of the metal heating and

cooling during both the cooking and cleaning

functions.

This is normal.

Why is my range

making a "clicking"

noise when using

my oven?

Your range cycles the heating elements by

turning relays on and off to maintain the oven

temperature.

This is normal.

Storage drawer

won’t close

Power cord may be obstructing drawer in the

lower back of the range.

Reposition the drawer and power cord. See the

StorageDrawerRemovalinstructionsintheCareand

cleaning of the range section.

Rear drawer support is on top of the guide rail. Repositionthedrawer.SeeDoorandDrawerinthe

Care and Cleaning section.

Oven door is

crooked

The door is out of position. Becausetheovendoorisremovable,itsometimes

gets out of position during installation. To straighten

the door, push down on the high corner.

Oven light does not

work

Light bulb is loose or defective. Tighten or replace bulb.

Switch operating light is broken. Call for service.

Excessive smoking

during broiling

Food too close to burner element. Lower the rack position of the food.

Strong odor An odor from the insulation around the inside

of the oven is normal for the first few times the

oven is used.

This is temporary and will go away after several uses

or a self-clean cycle.

My oven door glass

appears to be

"tinted" or have a

"rainbow" color. Is

this defective?

No. The inner oven glass is coated with a heat

barrier to reflect the heat back into the oven to

prevent heat loss and keep the outer door cool

while baking.

Thisisnormal.Undercertainlightorangles,youmay

see this tint or rainbow color.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Troubleshooting Tips ... Beforeyoucallforservice

Problem Possible Cause What To Do

Sometimes the oven

takes longer to preheat

to the same temperature

Cookware or food in oven. The cookware or food in the oven will cause the

oven to take longer to preheat. Remove items to

reduce preheat time.

Number of racks in oven. Adding more racks to the oven will cause the oven

to take longer to preheat. Remove some racks.

Oven racks are difficult

to slide

The shiny, silver-colored racks were cleaned

in a self-clean cycle.

Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper

towel and wipe the edges of the oven racks with

thepapertowel.DonotspraywithPam

or other

lubricant sprays.

Drawer does not slide

smoothly or drags

The drawer is out of alignment. Fully extend the drawer and push it all the way in

SeeDoorandDrawerintheCareandCleaning

section.

Drawerisover-loadedorloadisunbalanced. Reduce weight. Redistribute drawer contents.

Steam from the vent When using the ovens, it is normal to see

steam coming out of the oven vents. As the

number of racks or amount of food being

cooked increases, the amount of visible

steam will increase.

This is normal.
