IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

GAS COOKTOP

Use proper flame size — Adjust

flame size so it does not extend beyond the

edge of the utensil. The use of undersized

utensils will expose a portion of the burner

flame to direct contact and may result in

ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of

utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

Know which knob or key controls each

surface heating area. Place cookware with

food on the cooking area before turning it

on. Turn the cooking area off before

removing the cookware.

Use proper pan size. This appliance is

equipped with one or more surface units of

different sizes. Select cookware with flat

bottoms that match the surface unit heating

element. The use of undersized cookware

may expose a portion of the flame to direct

contact and may result in the ignition of

clothing or other items. Using the proper

cookware on the cooking areas will improve

efficiency.

Always turn knob to the full LITE position

when igniting top burners. Visually check that

burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the

utensil.

To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of

flammable materials, and spillage due to

unintentional contact with the utensil, the

handle of the utensil should be positioned so

that it is turned inward, and does not extend

over adjacent surface burners.

Never leave surface burners unattended at

high heat settings — Boil overs cause

smoking and greasy spill overs that may

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

Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain

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

enware, or other glazed utensils are suitable

for cook top service without breaking due to

the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer’s recommendations for cook

top use.

When you are flaming foods under a venti-

lating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil,

aftermarket oven liners, or any other

materials or devices to line oven bottom,

oven racks, or any other part of the appli-

ance. Only use aluminum as recommended

for baking, such as lining cookware or as a

cover placed on food. Any other use of

protective liners or aluminum foil may result

in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short

circuit.

Use care when opening oven door, lower

oven door, or warmer drawer (some models).

Stand to the side of the appliance when

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

steam escape before you remove or replace

food in the oven.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching

surfaces in this area when the oven is on may

cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or

heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent.

These items can melt or ignite.

Placement of oven racks - Always place oven

racks in desired location while oven is cool. If

rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not

let potholder contact hot burner or element

in oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack

with both hands to reposition. Remove all

cookware and utensils before moving the

rack.

Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.

Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to

drain away from the high heat of the broiler.

Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum

foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

Save these instructions for future reference.

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

Before manually cleaning any

part of the appliance, be sure all controls are

turned off and the appliance is cool.

Cleaning a hot appliance can cause burns.

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 recom-

mended 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF-CLEANING

OVENS

Do not clean the door gasket. The door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care

should be taken not to rub, damage, or move

times may need to be reduced slightly.

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

time in the recipe or packaging.

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

maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.

High altitude Air is drier and air pressure is lower.

Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids

evaporate faster.

Foods may take longer to bake.

Doughs may rise faster.

Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as

needed.

Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.

Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce

evaporation.

Increase bake time or oven temperature.

Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in

recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and allow

it to rise twice.

Cooking Results:

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

Result Recommendation

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

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

Cooking Tips:

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

Cooking Tips

Baking

Rack placement Follow the instructions in

“Oven Controls” on starting on page 18. When using only one rack, place the rack

so the food is in the center of the oven.

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

after the beep.

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

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

Broiling/Roasting

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

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

grease splatters.

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

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

Cooking Recommendations

Convection Cooking

Convection

attributes

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

reduces hot spots in the oven.

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

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

baking.

Preheat the oven for best results.

Convection roast Convection roast is best for meats and does not require preheating for most meats and poultry.

Reducing the cooking temperature for convection roast is not recommended. Carefully follow your recipe’s

temperature and time recommendations, adjusting the cooking time if the recipe does not specify convec-

tion roasting time.

Since convection roast cooks faster, cook time may be reduced by 25% to 40% depending on food type. You

can reduce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe, and check the food at this time.

If needed, continue cooking until the desired doneness is obtained.

Use a meat probe if available with your appliance. Meat probes are also available from most grocery and

home goods stores.

Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.

Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.

When cooking meats, use the broiler pan and insert or a roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease

spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appli-

ance, they may be purchased from Sears. Call 1-844-553-6667 and order broiler pan kit 5304442087.

Cooking Tips

Before Setting Surface Controls

Check Burner Cap Placement Before Operating

the Surface Burners

To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of

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

caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame

size.

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

burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations

before operating the cooktop burners.

Important notes:

• Always keep surface burner caps in place whenever using a

surface burner.

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

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

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

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

the gas orifice port opening.

On round style burners, the burner cap lip (See

Figure 1) should

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

Refer to

Figure 2 for correct and incorrect burner cap place-

ment.

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

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

seated (See

Figure 3). When the burner cap lip makes contact

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

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

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

side.

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

are correctly in place on oval burner heads.

Installing Burner Grates

Surface elements may appear to have cooled

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

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

before it has cooled sufficiently.

Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop

before using the surface burners. The grates are designed to rest

inside the recess on the cooktop.

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

into the cooktop recess. Grates should rest flush against each

other and against the sides of the recess (See

Figure 4).

Before Setting Surface Controls

Using Proper Cookware

Do not place flammable items such as plastic

salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on

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

Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed

too close to the range cooktop.

Important:

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

range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the

cooktop.

Important:

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

food being cooked will influence the burner flame setting

needed for best cooking results.

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat

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

most popular materials available are:

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will

cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining

and pitting).

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See

Aluminum).

Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is

durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

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

well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary

depending on base material.

Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Setting Proper Burner Flame Size

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge

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

increases your risk of being burned by the flame.

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

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

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

clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

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

lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations

Table 1 as a guide for determining proper flame size for

various types of cooking.)

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

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

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

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

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

brown or cook properly.

For best cooking results, cook-

ware should have flat bottoms

that rest level on the surface

Home Canning

Canning can generate large amounts of steam.

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

vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that harmful

micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are sealed

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

steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required

time.

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

canning with your appliance. Check with the United States

Department of Agriculture (USDA) Web site and be sure to read

all the information they have available as well as follow their

recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.

Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges

that radiate from the bottom center when home canning.

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

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

inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is

recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric

coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on

the burner grates.

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

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

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

possible setting to maintain that boil.

• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check

with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service

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

mation.

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

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

for an extended amount of time.

• Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the

units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid

canning on the same burner unit all day.

Setting Surface Controls

Setting Surface Burners

Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized

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

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

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

being prepared.

The smaller

SIMMER burner (on some models) is best suited for

simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard size burners may be used for most surface cooking

needs. Some models are equipped with a center burner.

The larger

POWER burners (on some models) or TURBO BOIL

burner (on some models) are recommended for bringing large

quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger

quantities of food.

To set surface burners:

Do not place flammable items such as plastic

salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on

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

Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed

too close to the range cooktop.

Do not place aluminum foil, or any material

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

permanently damage the cooktop surface.

When operating the oven, it is possible for

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

ally transfer to the surface control knobs located directly above

the oven door.

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

sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate.

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

clockwise out of the OFF position (See Figure 7).

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

position. Visually check that the burner has lit.

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

turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the

control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.

Important notes:

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

position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the

control knob setting remains in the LITE position.

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

all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time.

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

• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different

surface cooking areas at the same time. This can cause

uneven heating results.

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

burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting

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

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

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

knob to desired setting.

• 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 tempera-

ture range, another self-clean cycle can be set once the

door unlocks (up to 4 hours).

Figure 7: Surface control knob

Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located below the control panel (See

Figure 8).

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

venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and

good baking results. Steam or moisture may appear near the

oven vent, this is normal. Do not block oven vent.

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

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

heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause

permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt

to the interior of the oven.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

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

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

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven

racks

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

cool (prior to operating the oven).

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

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

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

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

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

level before using.

Important: Remove all racks before starting a self-clean cycle.

Oven Rack Descriptions

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

for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven

rack positions.

• The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional

stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design. The

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

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

most oven rack positions.

• To maximize oven cooking space, place the bottom oven

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

roasting large cuts of meat.

Bake may be programmed for any temperature from 170°F to

550°F (77°C to 288°C). The factory preset bake temperature

is 350°F (177°C).

Radiant bake rack positions:

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,

biscuits, and breads.

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

food is in the center of the oven.

• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two

oven racks, place racks in positions 2 and 5 flat racks.

• When baking using two oven racks, position bakeware as

shown

Figure 14

Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space

between bakeware for proper air circulation.

• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,

resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be

necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to

prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-

mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes,

cookies, and muffins.

• Glass cookware is a slow heat conductor. May require

reducing oven temperature.

Convec Bake

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

uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat

distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It

also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the

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

sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more

evenly. Most foods baked in a standard pan will cook faster and

more evenly with the convection feature.

Convec Bake may be set for any oven temperature between

300°F (148°C) and 550°F (288°C).

• When using Convec Bake, cook time reductions may vary

depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

Foods can cook up to 25% faster.

• 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 convection, use cookware or pans with

lowsides. This allows the air to circulate around the food

evenly.

Baking tips

• Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like cookies,

biscuits, and breads.

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

food is in the center of the oven.

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

position 2 or 3.

• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two

oven racks, place racks in positions 3 offset and 5 flat (See

Figure 17).

• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny

bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature

and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark

bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is

recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• Use cookware or pans with low sides. This allows the air to

circulate around the food evenly.

• Glass cookware may require reduced temperatures.

• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will reduce

the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

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

cooktop will become very hot which can cause burn.

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

350°F:

1. Press Conv Bake.

2. Press .

To cancel Conv Bake at any time press .

Important notes:

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

until Convec Bake has been heating for six minutes.

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

convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is

closed.

Oven Controls

Setting Conv Roast

The Conv Roast function combines a cook cycle with the convec-

tion fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using the

Conv Roast function will be juicier, and poultry will be crisp on

the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.

Conv Roast may be set for any oven temperature between

300°F (148°C) and 550°F (288°C).

To set Conv Roast with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1. Press Conv Roast.

2. Press .

To cancel Conv Roast at any time press .

Suggestions for Conv Roast:

• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using Conv

Roast. Since Conv Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook

time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your

recipe. If necessary, increase cooking time until the desired

doneness is obtained.

• The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid

will help prevent splatters. The roasting rack will hold the

meat. Use the offset rack on rack position 1.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting because this will

prevent the meat from browning properly.

Important note:

• After 6 minutes, the convection fan will begin rotating once

Conv Bake, Conv Roast, or Conv Convert has been acti-

vated.

• If the oven door is opened when any convection function is

active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven

door is closed.

• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack.

Use a deep pan instead.

Setting Conv Convert

Conv Convert automatically converts the cooking temperature

entered for any standard baking recipe to the lower tempera-

ture required for convection baking. Conv Convert should only

be used with Conv Bake and a Cook Time when the cooking

time is greater than 20 minutes.

When Conv Convert is used with a timed Conv Bake setting of

20 minutes or more, the function will display a CF message as a

reminder to check food when the bake time is 75% complete

(See

Figure 19). At this time the oven control will sound one long

beep at regular intervals until the set cook time has finished.

To add Conv Convert to Conv Bake function using default oven

set temperature of 350°F:

1. Press Conv Bake.

2. Press .

3. Press Conv Convert.

To cancel Conv Convert at any time, press .

To program oven for Conv Convert with oven default tempera-

ture of 350°F and to shut-off after 30 minutes:

1. Press Conv Bake.

2. Press .

3. Press Cook Time.

4. Enter 3 0 using numeric keypad.

5. Press .

may vary depending on the oven set temperature.

• If the oven door is opened when any convection function is

active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven

door is closed.

Figure 19: Check Food reminder shown in display.

Oven Controls

Setting Broil

Use the Broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure

to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is

factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil function temperature

may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and

550°F (288°C).

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

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

top will become very hot which can cause burns.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door

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

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

sive.

The suggested broil settings are recommendations only (See

Table 3). Depending on cooking preferences, you can increase

or decrease cooking times or move food to a different rack

position. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the table, fol-

low the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the

item closely.

Important notes:

• Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some

smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from

teh broil element. Always watch food carefully to prevent

burning.

• BROIL DOOR ALARM: If the oven door is left open during a

broil, the alarm will sound after 60 seconds. If the door is

remains open the broil function will turn OFF after another

30 seconds.

• Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.

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

insert. Broil pans and inserts allow the grease to drain away

from the high heat of the broiler. Do not use the pan without

the insert. Do not cover the insert with foil - the exposed

grease could ignite.

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

position before turning or removing food.

To set Broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F:

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

results, preheat oven for 5 minutes before adding food.

Setting Slow Cook

The Slow Cook feature cooks foods more slowly and at lower

oven temperatures for longer periods of time. Slow Cook is ideal

for roasting beef, pork and poultry. Slow cooking meats may

result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but will not burn

the outside as it seals in the meat’s juices.

Two Slow Cook settings are available: high (Hi) and low (Lo). The

high setting is best for cooking foods between 4 and 5 hours.

The low setting is best for cooking foods up to 9 hours or longer.

Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:

• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.

• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position

2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate the size of various

bakeware when cooking multiple food items.

• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open

when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the

Slow Cook time may need to be extended.

• Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type

cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.

• Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook

times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone,

and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven will not be

necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.

• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of

cooking.

• Slow Cook may be used with additional settings of Cook

Time and Delay Start.

• The maximum cook time for Slow Cook function is 11 hours

and 59 minutes unless the control has been changed to the

continuous bake mode.

To set Slow Cook:

1. Position bakeware in oven and close oven door.

2. Press Slow Cook. HI will appear in the display, indicating

the default temperature setting is for high.

3. If a low setting is needed, press Slow Cook again or

press

the

Down arrow key to select the low setting.

4. Press to activate Slow Cook.

To cancel Slow Cook at any time, press .

Setting the Sabbath feature (for use on the Jewish

Sabbath and Holidays)

For further assistance, guidelines for proper

usage, and a complete list of models with the

Sabbath feature, please visit the web at

www.star-k.org.

This appliance provides special settings for

use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath

mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the

oven control. Bake heating is the only cooking feature available

while in the Sabbath mode. Oven controls are locked during

Sabbath mode.

You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s) needed

for the oven, the Cook Time, and the Delay Start

options (if

needed). Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode

will be visible in the displays. The Cook Time option, if set prior

to the Sabbath mode, will give one audible alert at the end of

Cook Time.

The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 hour

energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the

cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking features

are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no

audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the can-

cellation.

If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them

prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned

on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on

until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the oven lights are

turned off. The oven door will not activate the interior oven

lights when the oven door is opened or closed.

It is recommended that any oven temperature modification

made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with two

presses of the

START key. This will insure the oven remains on

even if an attempt is made to set the oven temperature outside

of its temperature range. If the oven temperature is set outside

of the temperature range, the oven will default to the nearest

available temperature. Try to set the desired oven temperature

again.

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for

more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result

in food poisoning or sickness.

To program oven to Bake with default oven temperature of

350°F and activate the Sabbath feature:

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day.

2. Arrange oven racks, place bakeware in oven, and close

oven door.

3. Press Bake.

4. Press .

5. If Cook Time or Delay Start are not needed, skip this step

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well

above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate soils com-

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

away afterwards with a damp cloth. The Self Clean function

can be programmed for any duration between 2 and 4 hours.

Be sure to read all following caution and important statements

before starting a self clean cycle.

Do not leave small children unattended near

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

become very hot and cause burns if touched.

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

or any part of the range with aluminum foil. 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).

Do not force the oven door open. This can

damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when

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

may still be very hot and cause burns.

To avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven

when opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive

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

Move birds to a well ventilated room.

Important notes:

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories

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

oven racks are not removed they may discolor.

• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including

cookware, utensils, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will

not withstand high temperatures from a self clean cycle and

will melt.

• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part

of the range with aluminum foil or with any oven liners or

materials. 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).

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

around any part of the oven interior.

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside

the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center

of the oven bottom (See

Figure 24). These areas heat

sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water

prior to starting Self Clean.

• Remove any excessive soil or debris from the oven bottom.

To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can

cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high

temperatures.

• Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content

(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie

fillings) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull

spot even after cleaning.

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

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

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

Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket and

compromise the performance of the oven.

• Do not force the oven door open when self-clean is active.

This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use

caution when opening the door after the clean cycle is

complete. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

• To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when

opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

The oven may appear to have cooled after it has been

turned off. It may still be hot and burns may occur if the

oven walls are touched before they have cooled.

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

LOCK indicator light is flashing. Allow about 15 seconds for

the motorized door latch mechanism to completely lock or

unlock the oven door.

• 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).

cleaned, it may be necessary to run another Self Clean

cycle.

• If the oven temperature was high enough when Self Clean

was interrupted the oven control will not allow another Self

Clean cycle to be set once for up to 4 hours.

Oven Controls

Steam Clean

Steam cleaning works best for spot cleaning and light soils on

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

ally cleaning the oven or before Self Clean to help loosen soils

on the oven bottom.

To set the controls for steam clean:

Do not set the cleaning temperature higher than

the temperature listed in these instructions. Higher temperatures

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

injury when cleaning.

Do not attempt to wipe out the oven before the

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

Doing so may lead to burns or other serious injury when

cleaning.

Do not add ammonia, oven cleaners, or any

other household cleaners or chemicals to the water used for

steam cleaning.

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

oven accessories.

Important notes:

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

can hear the timer alert.

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

down period is complete.

• Removal of especially stubborn or baked-on soils may

require a manual cleaning or a self clean cycle. See

“Setting Self Clean” on page 31.

• Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to

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

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

when the cool-down period is complete.

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

Open door to broil position and allow to air dry.

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

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

Care and Cleaning

General Cleaning

Refer to this chapter for more detailed information about

cleaning specific parts of the range.

Before manually cleaning any part of the

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

The range may be hot and can cause burns.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the

oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

Aluminum foil and utensils

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the

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

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

may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings

may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to

line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended

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

risk of electric shock, or fire.

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

damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking

utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface burners

under any circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much

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

aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If

aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the

cooktop, the utensil will be damaged or destroyed.

Cleaning the Cooktop and Surface Burners

To avoid possible burns, do not attempt any of

the cooktop cleaning instructions provided before turning OFF

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

Any additions, changes or conversions required

in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application

needs must be made by an authorized qualified agency.

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

wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head

ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an

uneven flame.

Cleaning recessed and contoured areas of cooktop

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

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

wipe dry.

Cleaning surface burner grates

• Clean only after the grates are completely cool.

• Use nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mild abrasive

cleanser or clean in the dishwasher.

• Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean

immediately after the grates are cool.

• Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.

Cleaning burner caps

• Remove caps from burner heads after they have cooled.

• Clean heavy soils with a plastic scrubbing pad and

absorbent cloth.

• Thoroughly dry burner caps immediately following cleaning

including the bottom and inside of cap.

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

• Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher.

• Do not operate surface burners without burner caps

properly in place. Read important notes.

Cleaning surface burner heads

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

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

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

a small nonabrasive brush like a toothbrush and afterwards

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

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

Care and Cleaning

To clean the burner head ignition ports

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

Should you experience ignition problems it may be that this port

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

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

to clear the ignition port.

Important notes:

• The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and

must be cleaned in place on the cooktop.

• Always keep the surface burner caps in place whenever a

surface burner is in use.

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

are seated firmly on top of the burner heads.

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

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

the gas orifice port opening.

To remove and replace storage drawer (some models)

Use the storage drawer for storing cooking utensils. The drawer

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

when handling the drawer.

Replacing oven light (some models)

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts

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

glove for protection against possible broken glass.

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

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

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

oven is in use.

To replace the interior oven light bulb:

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

range.

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

covers the light bulb.

3. Replace light with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder back

into place.

5. Turn power on at the main source (or plug the appliance in).

6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see “Setting

Clock” on page 19.
