__ codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSi Z223, latest edition.

This range has been design-certified by the American

_i Gas Association according to ANSI Z21.1, latest edF

tion. As with any appliance using gas and generating

heat, there are certain safety precautions you should

:follow. You will find these precautions at the beginning

:of the Use and Care section of this book Read them

carefuilyo

e Have your range installed by a qualified installer or

service technician.

, "(our range must be electrically grounded in accor-

dance with local codes or, in the absence of local

codes, in accordance with the National Electrical

Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition) See Electrical

Connections in this section

o Before installing your range on linoleum or any other

synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering

can withstand 180°R without shrinking, warping or

discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting

unless a sheet of l/4-inch4hick plywood or similar

insulator is placed between the range and carpeting.

o Make sure the wall coverings around the range can

withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°R

o Avoid placing cabinets above the ranger To reduce

the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames

of operating burners, install over the range a ventila-

tion hood that projects forward at least 5 inches

beyond the front of the cabinets

The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet

metal not less than 040122 inch thick. Install above

the cooking top with a (_tearance of not less than 1/4

inch between the hood and the underside of the

combustible material or metal cabinet. The hood

must be at least as wide as the appliance and cen-

tered over the appliance° Clearance between the

cooking surface and the ventilation hood surface

MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.

o if cabinets are placed above the range, allow a mini-

mum clearance of 30 inches between the cooking

surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.

° if a 30-inch clearance between cooking surface and

overhead combustible material or metal cabinets

cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the

cabinets above the cooking top with not less than

1/4-inch insulating millboard covered with sheet

metal not less than 0.0122 inch thick.

o Clearance between the cooking surface and protect-

ed cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24

INCHES, The vertical distance from the plane of the

cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead

cabinets extending closer than 1 inch to the plane of

the range sides must not be less than 18 inches.

(Se e Dimensions and Clearances in this section.)

° Caution: items of interest to children should not be

stored in cabinets above a range or on the back-

splash of a range--children climbing on the range to

reach items could be seriously injured

WARNaNG

All ranges can tip and injury could

result. To prevent accidental tipping

of the range, attach an approved

Anti-Tip device to the wail. (See

Installing the Anti-Tip Device in this

section..) To check if the device is

installed and engaged properly,

carefully tip the range forward° The

Anti-Tip device should engage and

prevent the range from tipping over,.

if you pull the range out from the wall for any reason,

make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged when you

push the range back against the wall

o For your safety, never use your range for warming

or heating the room Your oven and cooktop are not

designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should

not be operated without cookware on the grates.

Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your

range and will void your warranty.

o Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline

or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires

could result°

, Do not use oven for a storage area° Items stored in

the oven can ignite,

o Do not let cooking grease or other flammable mate-

rials accumulate in or near the range,

nnstaUgationinstructions

GENERAL

• See the Dimensions and Clearances section for all

rough-in and spacing dimensions,. These dimensions

must be met for safe use of your range. The location

of the electrical outlet and pipe opening (see Gas

Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations) may be adjusted

to meet specific requirements.

oThe range may be placed with 0" clearance (flush)

at the back wall and side walls of the range.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to

strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind

the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings

around the base of the range that supply fresh air for

combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by car-

peting or woodwork.

PROTECT YOUR FLOOR

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy

and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cush-

ioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the

range on this type of flooring° it is recommended that

the following simple and inexpensive instructions be

followed to protect your floor..

The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood

(or similar material)., When the floor covering ends at

the front of the range, the area that the range wilt rest

on should be built up with plywood to the same level

or higher than the floor covering, This will allow the

range to be moved for cleaning or servicing,

MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION

Depending on your range, you'll find the model and

serial numbers on a label on the front frame of the

range, behind the storage drawer, broiler drawer or

kick panel.

TOOLS YOU WiLL NEED

• Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers

• Pencil and ruler

° Two pipe wrenches (one for backup)

o 1%" open-end or adjustable wrench

• Nut drivers or wrenches: 3/16" and 1/4"

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED

- Gas line shut-off valve

° Pipe joint sealant or UL-approved pipe thread tape

with Teflon* that resists action of natural and LP

gases

. Flexible metal appliance connector (1/2" I.D,). A 5-

foot length is recommended for ease of installation

but other lengths are acceptable° Never use an old

connector when installing a new range.

o Flare union adapter for connection to gas supply fine

(3/4" or 1/2" NPT x 1/2" !,,D,)

° Flare union adapter for connection to pressure regu-

lator on range (t/2" NPT x 1/2" IoD,)

PREPARATION

• Remove all tape and packaging. Lift up the cooktop

(on models with dual burners) and remove any pack-

ing material under it.. Make sure the dual burners are

properly seated and level.

. Remove plastic film that covers some chrome parts

(around oven door, side trim)_

° Take the accessory pack out of the oven..

• Check to be sure that no range parts have come

loose during shipping.

Step t

Provide Adequate Gas Supply

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of

4" of water column on natural gas or, if designed for

LP gas (propane or butane), 10" of water column°

Make sure you are supplying your range with the type

of gas for which it is designed. This range is convert-

ible for use on natural or propane gas, if you decide to

use this range on a different type of gas, conversion

adjustments must be made by a service technician or

other qualified person before attempting to operate

the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas sup-

plied to the regulator must be between 4" and 13" of

water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must

be between 10" and t3" of water column.. When

checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet

pressure must be at least 1" greater than the operat-

ing (manifold) pressure as given above. The pressure

regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold

must remain in the supply line regardless of whether

natural or LP gas is being used,. A flexible metal appli-

ance connector used to connect the range to the gas

supply line should have an I.,Do of 1/2" and be 5 feet in

length for ease of installation,

Step 2

Connect the Range to Gas

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnect-

ing the old range and leave it off until new hook-up

has been completed° Don't forget to relight the

pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas

back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,

the use of an AoGA:certified flexible metal appliance

connector is recommended unless local codes require

a hard-piped connection,. Never use an old connector

when installing a new range_ If the hard piping method

is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range

cannot be moved after the connection is made,

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or

wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male

(external) pipe threads.

Hookups for Models Equipped

with Dual Burners

1. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas

line in an easily accessed location outside of the

range_ Make sure everyone operating the range

knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to

the range.

2. Instalt male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT

internal thread elbow at inlet of pressure regulator.

On models equipped with dual burners, install

the male pipe thread end of the !/2" flare union

adapter to the 1/2" NPT internal thread at inlet of

pressure regulator Use a backup wrench on the

regulator fitting to avoid damage

When installing the range from the front, remove the

90 ° elbow for easier installation

3. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the

NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve,

taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it

from turning

4. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the

adapter on the range_ Position range to permit con-

nection at the shut-off valve.

5. When all connections have been made, make sure

all range controls are in the off position and turn on

the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detec-

tor at a!l joints and connections to check for leaks in

the system.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK

FOR GAS LEAKS.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to

pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,

disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve

from the gas supply piping. When using test pres-

sures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply sys-

tem, simply isolate the range from the gas supply

system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

Step 3

Electrical Connections

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit

protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or

time delay fuse

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards associated with

certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an extension cord° However, if you still elect

to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary

that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance

extension cord and that the current carrying rating of

the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than,

the branch circuit rating°

Grounding--IMPORTANT (Please read carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST

BE PROPERLY GROUNDED°

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a stan-

dard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to mini-

mize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this

appliance

The customer should

have the wall receptacle

and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to

make sure the recepta-

cle is properly grounded

Where a standard two-

prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the

PREFERRED

METHOD

ENSURE PROPER

GROUND EXISTS

BEFORE USE

personal responsibility and obligation of the customer

to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-

prong wall receptacle

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR

REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM

THE POWER CORD.

(continued next page)

InstanUationSnsttuctions <contin.ed>

A: Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord

will be Disconnected.

An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit° Do

not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local

codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may

be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall

receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available

at most hardware stores_ The larger slot in the adapter

must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall recep-

tacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the

power cord.

TEMPORARY METHOD ._ ___

(ADAPTER PLUGS NOT

PERMITTED IN CANADA) _--_ ,_"

PRONGS/SLOTS

BEFORE USE

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal

to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground

the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and

not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded

through the house wiring. The customer should

have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician

to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,

always hold the adapter with one hand_ If this is not

done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to

break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO

NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has

again been established°

B: Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord

will be Disconnected.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations

because disconnecting of the power cord places

undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual fail-

ure of the adapter ground terminal° The customer

should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced

with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a quali-

fied electrician before using the appliance°

The installation of appliances designed for mobile

home installation must conform with the Manufactured

Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24

CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for

Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD,

Part 280) or, when such standard is not applicable,

the Standard for Manufactured Home installations, lat-

est edition (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities

and Set-Ups), ANSI A225ol, latest edition, or with

local codes.

Electrical Disconnect

1. Locate disconnect plug on the range back.

2. Pinch sides of connector and putl out of range back,,

You will have one of these disconnect plugs:

Step 4

Seal the Openings

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and

in the floor under the range when hookups are

completed,

Step 5

Check Ignition of Surface Burners

Surface Burner Ignition

Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be

checked after the pilots have been lighted (on some

models) and range and gas supply lines have been

carefully checked for leaks,

Electric ignition Models

Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in

and turn to LITE position. You will hear a snapping

sound indicating proper operation of the spark mod-

ute, Once the air has been purged from the supply

lines, burners should light within 4 seconds, After

burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE position Try

each burner in succession until all burners have been

checked.

Quality of Flames

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be

determined visually,

A) Yellow flames--

Call for service

(B) "fellow tips on

outer cones---

Normal for LP gas

Normal for natural gas

• if burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal

burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending

on the type of gas you use

oWith LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is

normal.

Step 6

Check Ignition of Oven Burner

Your oven is designed to operate quietly and automati-

cally. To operate the oven, turn the OVEN CONTROL

knob to a setting above 200°R After 30-90 seconds, the

oven burner will ignite and bum until the set tempera-

ture is reached. The oven burner witl continue to cycle

on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the

temperature indicated by the OVEN CONTROL knob,

Electric ignition models require electrical power to

operate_ The oven cannot be lit during a power

outage. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

if the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the

oven burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until

power is restored

Adjust Broit and Oven Burner Air

Adjustment Shutters If Necessary

Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burn-

ers regulate the flow of air to the flame&

To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the

Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter toward

open or closed position as needed,

The flames for the top (broil) burner should burn

steady with approximately 1" blue cones and should

not extend out over the edges of the burner baffle.

The air adjustment shutter for the top broil burner is

in the center of the rear wall of the oven.

To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning

properly, remove the oven bottom and the burner baf-

fle._ Flames should have approximately 1" blue cones

and, if range is supplied with natural gas, should burn

with no yellow tipping.. (With most LP gas, small yel-

low tips at the end of outer cones are normal.) Flames

should not lift off burner port& If lifting is observed,

gradually reduce air shutter opening until flames are

stabilized° With the baffle in place, the flames should

burn steady and should not extend past the edges of

the burner baffle

The shutter for the bottom oven burner is near the

back wall behind the storage drawer, Remove the

storage drawer by pulling the drawer all the way out

and tilting up the front. See the Care and Cleaning

section°

Oven Bottom

To remove the oven bottom:

1. Remove the knurled screws holding down rear of

the oven bottom.

2. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side°

3. Lift the rear of the oven bottom enough to clear the

lip or range frame, then pull out.

Step 8

Leveling the Range

1. Remove the storage drawer_ Pull drawer out all the

way and lift front of drawer up to remove.

Remove Screw

on some models

To remove the burner baffle (on some models):

1. Use a nut driver to remove the t/4" hex head screw

shown in the illustration above. Do not remove any

other screws.

2. Pull baffle straight out until it is free from the slot

that holds it at rear of oven_

2. Use a 3/16" open-end or socket wrench to back out

both rear leveling legs approximately two turns.

3. Use a t%" open-end or adjustable wrench to back

out the front leveling legs two turns.

4. Install the oven shelves in the oven, then position

the range where it will be installed.

5. Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or a

partially filled cup of water on one of the oven

shelves, if using a spirit level, take two readings--

with the level placed diagonally first in one direction

and then the other..

6. Adjust the leveling legs until the range is level_

7. After the range is level, slide the range away from

the wall so that the Anti-Tip device can be installed_

Equipped with Dual Burners (See

Step 2 if range is equipped with sealed

burners.)

1. Lift cooktop.

2, Lift burner assem-

blies straight up and

set aside to gain

access to surface

burner spuds

3. With a 7ram or 5/16"

wrench (depending

on the size of your

spuds), remove each

of the four spuds on

the surface burner

gas inlet tubes and replace them with the correct gas

spuds mounted in a holder at the right rear of the

range, above the regulator. Natural gas spuds are

brass and LP gas spuds are red or silver (Mount the

spuds that you removed from the inlet tubes back in

the holder..) To prevent leakage, make sure spuds

are securely screwed into gas inlet tubes.

4. Replace the burner assemblies.

5. Keep all spuds with your range so you have them if

you move or get a different gas hook-up.

Step 4

Convert Oven Thermostat (For Models

Equipped With Standing Pilots)

1. Remove the oven control knob,,

2, Locate the thermostat adjust

ment screw at left of thermo-

stat shaft° Turn screw until the

small pointer is at LP or N,

depending on the type of gas

you are converting to.

3. Replace oven control knob,

Step 5

Convert the Oven Burner Orifices

I. Remove oven door,

storage drawer or

broiler drawer, oven

bottom and burner

baffler The lower

burner orifice spud is

located behind the

storage drawer, broil-

er drawer or kick panel. (On some models, a metal

shield must be removed to access the orifice.)

2. To convert to LP gas, use a 1/2" wrench to turn

the lower burner orifice spud clockwise. Tighten the

spud only until it is snug. To prevent damage, do

not overtighten the spud°

To convert to natural gas, loosen the spud

about 2 turns.

Broil Burner:

To convert to LP gas,

use a 1/2" wrench to

turn the upper burner

orifice spud clockwise.

Tighten spud only until it

is snug with the base° To

prevent leakage, do not

overtighten the spud.

To convert to natural gas, loosen the spud about 2

turns.

ing off burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually

reduce air shutter opening until flames are stabilized°

For natural gas, the shutter should be open 1/2" or

about 3/4 of the way open.

Step 7

Check for Leaks

When all connections have been made, make sure all

range controls are in the off position and turn on the

main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector

at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the

system.

]

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK |

FOR GAS LEAKS.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to

pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,

disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve

from the gas supply piping. When using test pres-

sures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply sys-

tem, simply isolate the range from the gas supply sys-

tem by closing the individual shut-off vatve_

Step 8

Convert Top Burner Valves

1. Turn all top burners to LOW,

2. Remove all 4 knobs°

3, With a small flat

blade screwdriver, _

turn the valve set -._-_

screws clockwise to

decrease flame size, counter- _ j

clockwise to increase flame size.

Adjust until the flame is about the "_i

same height as the top of the burner. !J

4. Replace knobs,

5. Check for flame outage by opening and closing the

oven door several times. If the flame goes out,

increase the flame size.

Step 9

Check Quality of Flames

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be

determined visually,

If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal

burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending

on the type of gas you use°

With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is

normal

RMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and

Toxic Enforcement Act requires the

Governor of California to publish a list of sub-

stances known to the state to cause cancer,

birth defects or other reproductive harm, and

requires businesses to warn customers of

potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances cause minor exposure to

four of these substances, namely benzene,

carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,

caused primarily by the incomplete combustion

of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted

burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yel-

low flame, will minimize incomplete combus-

tion° Exposure to these substances can be

minimized further by venting with an open win-

dow or using a ventilation fan or hood.

Fluorescent light bulbs and safety valves

on standing pilot ranges contain mercury.

if your model has these features, they must be

recycled according to local, state and federal

codes.

When You Get Your Range

o Have the installer show you

the location of the range

gas cut-off valve and how to

shut it off if necessary.

o Have your range installed

and properly grounded by a

qualified installer in accor-

dance with the Installation

Instructions, Any adjustment

and service should be per-

formed only by qualified gas

range installers or service

technicians.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of

your range unless it is specifically recom-

mended in this book. All other servicing should

be referred to a qualified technician.

o Plug your range (Electric Ignition models only)

into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not

remove the round grounding prong from the plug.

If in doubt about the grounding of the home elec-

trical system, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced

with a properly grounded, three-prong outlet in

accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do

not use an extension cord with this appliance.

o Be sure all packing materials are removed

from the range before operating it to prevent fire

or smoke damage, should the packing material

ignite.

o Locate range out of kitchen traffic path and

out of drafty locations to prevent pilot outage

(on models with standing pilots) and poor air

circulation.

o Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a

qualified service technician or installer for the

type of gas (natural or LP), that is to be used.

Your range can be converted for use with either

type of ga& See the Installation instructions.

WARNING: These adjustments must be made by

a qualified service technician in accordance with

the manufacturer's instructionsand all codes and

requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in

serious injury or property damage_ The qualified

agency performing this work assumes responsi-

bility for the conversion_

o After prolonged use of a range, high floor tem-

peratures may result and many floor cover-

ings will not withstand this kind of use. Never

install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that

cannot withstand such type of use° Never install

it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.

Using Your Range

o Do not leave children

alone or unattended

where a range is hot or in

operation. They could be

seriously burne&

Do not allow anyone to

climb, stand or hang on

the door, storage

or broiler drawer (on

some models) or range top. They could dam-

age the range and even tip it over, causing severe

personal injury,

When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly

and always cook the meat to an internal tempera-

ture of at least t70°E This assures that, in the

remote possibility that trichina may be present in

the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe

to eat.

Surface Cooking

Always use the LITE position (on models with

electric ignition) or the HI position (on models

with standing pilots) when igniting top burn-

ers and make sure the burners have ignited°

° Never leave the surface burners unattended at

high flame settings, Boilover causes smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire,

° Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the cookware.

Excessive flame is hazardous.

• Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from

steam.

• Do not let pot holders come near open flames

when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or

other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder

o To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware

handles toward the side or back of the range with-

out letting them extend over adjacent burners.

Always turn surface burner to OFF before

removing cookware.

Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

Never block the vents (air openings) of the

range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that

are necessary for the range to operate properly

with correct combustion. Air openings are located

in the following places:

--Oven vent at the rear of the cooktop.

--Air intake under the broiler drawer

--Air vent at the top of the oven door_

Do not use a wok on models with sealed burn-

ers if the wok has a round metal ring that is

placed over the burner grate to support the

wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may

damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it

may cause the burner to work improperly. This

may cause a carbon monoxide level above that

allowed by current standards, resulting in a health

hazard.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods

can cause hot fat to bubble up and over sides of

pan,

• Use least possible amount of fat for effective

shallow or deep-fat frying. Fiiling the pan too full

of fat can cause spillovers when food is added,

If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt

slowly.

o Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.

Use deep-fat thermometer whenever possible

to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking

point.

Use proper pan size. Avoid pans that are unsta-

ble or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat

bottoms large enough to properly contain food

and avoid boilovers and spillovers and large

enough to cover burner grates. This will both save

cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumula-

tions of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers

left on the range can ignite, Use pans with han-

dles that can be easily grasped and wilt remain

coot.

When using glass cookware, make sure it is

designed for top-of-range cooking,

Keep all plastics away

from top burners.

Do not leave plastic

items on the cook-

topmthey may melt if

left too close to the vent.

Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items

and will increase pressure in closed containers,

which may cause them to burst°

To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are at

the OFF position and all grates are cool before

attempting to remove them.

When flaming foods are under the hood, turn

the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread

the flames.

if range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the top burners

and create a fire hazard.

When a pilot goes out (on models with stand-

ing pilots), you will detect a faint odor of gas as

your signai to relight the pilot. When relighting the

pilot, make sure the burner controls are in the

OFF position, and follow instructions in the

Installation Instructions to relighL

if you smell gas, and you have already made

sure the pilots are lit (on models with standing

pilots), turn off the gas to the range and call a

qualified service technician_ Never use an open

flame to locate a leak.

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

o Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

: o

SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS (continued)

= Stand away from the range when opening the

door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that

escape can cause burns to hands, face and

eyes.

o Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

• Place the oven shelves in the desired position

while the oven is cool.

Pulling out the shelf to the shelf-stop is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a o

precaution against burns from touching hot

surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest

position "R" is not designed to slide.

Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

Do not use a_uminum foil anywhere in the

oven except as described in this book. Misuse

could result in a fire hazard or damage to the

range.

When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions,

Use only glass cookware that is recommend-

ed for use in gas ovens.

Always remove the broiler pan from the broiler

compartment as soon as you finish broiling,

Grease left in the pan can catch on fire if oven is

used without removing the grease from the broiler

pan°

When broiling, if meat is too close to the

flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to pre-

vent excessive flare-upso

Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly

to reduce the possibility of grease fires,

i:_I_ i_/•

tf you should have a grease fire in the broiler

pan, turn off the oven and keep the door closedto

contain the fire until it burns out.

Self-Cleaning Oven

• Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket

is essentialfor a good seal. Care should be taken

not to rub, damage or move the gasket,

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven

cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any

kind should be used in or around any part of the

oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage

the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle

is used,

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broil-

er pan and other cookware,

Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care

Guide.

Keep the range clean and free of accumula-

tions of grease or spillovers, which may

ignite.

Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting the self-clean cycle.

If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn

off and disconnect the power supply. Have

serviced by a qualified technician,

Surface Cooking

Lighting instructions

Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition,

eliminating the need for standing pilots with constantly

burning flames,.

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface

burners on your range with a match. Hofd a lighted

match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE

position,. Use extreme caution when lighting burn-

ers in this manner.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power fail-

ure occurs will continue to operate normally.

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed_

When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burn-

ers spark.. Do not disassemble or clean around

any burner while another burner is on. An electric

shock may result, which could cause you to knock

over hot cookware..

Surface Burner Controls

The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are

located on the control panel in front of the burners,.

The two knobs on the left control the left front and left

rear burners. The two knobs on the right control the

right front and right rear burners,.

On ranges with sealed burners:

o The smaller burner (right rear position) will give

the best simmer results.

• The right front burner is higher powered than the

others and will bdng liquids to a boil quicker (nat-

ural gas installations only).

To Light a Surface Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it to

LtTE. You will hear a little clicking

noise--the sound of the electric spark

igniting the burner,,

After the burner ignites, turn the knob

to adjust the flame size.

After Lighting a Burner

o Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one

you want to use.

o Do not operate a burner for extended periods of time

without having cookware on the grate, The finish on

the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the

heat°

o Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you

place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or

other materials on them.

Surface Light (onsome models)

Use the pad on the control panel to turn the light

on and off_

Before Lighting a Burner

• If drip pans are supplied with your range, they should

be used at all times.

° Make sure all grates on the range are in place before

using any burner..

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.

The flame size on a gas burner should match the

cookware you are using.

FOR SAFE HANDLING OF

COOKWARE NEVER LET

THE FLAME EXTEND UP

THE SIDES OF THE

COOKWARE. Any flame

larger than the bottom of the

cookware is wasted and

only serves to heat the handle,

Top-of-Range Cook'ware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommend-

ed because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods

brown evenly in an aluminum ski!leL Use saucepans

with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum

amounts of water,.

Cast iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give sat-

isfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of

some cookware may melt.. Follow cookware manufac-

turer's recommendations for cooking method&

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware--

those for oven use only and those for top-of-range

cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass con-

ducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either

surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly

and cools very slowly° Check cookware manufactur-

er's directions to be sure it can be used on gas

range&

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating

properties and is usually combined with copper, alu-

minum or other metals for improved heat distribution,,

Combination metal skillets generally work satisfactori-

ly if used at medium heat as the manufacturer recom-

mends,.

Wok Cooking (on models with sealed burners)

We recommend that you

use only a flat-bottomed

wok,. They are available

at your local retail store

Do not use woks that ............

have support rings. Use '_ii_!_!i111_.

of these types of woks,

with or without the ring in

place, can be dangerous.

Placing the ring over the .............. ':_;;:;_;;_

burner grate may cause

the burner to work improperly resulting in carbon

monoxide levels above allowable current standards,

This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to

use such woks without the ring. You could be serious-

ly burned if the wok tipped over.

Stove Top Grills (onmodels with sealed burners)

Do not use stove top grills .4_i!iii_,,. -,_',_

on your sealed gas burn- '_'_'"'_

ers.. If you use the stove

top grill on the sealed gas

burner it will cause incom-

plete combustion and can ,_ili]]iiiill:_'_

result in exposure to car-

bon monoxide levels above allowable current stan-

dards. This can be hazardous to your health..

Using Your Oven

Before Using Your Oven

Be sure you understand how to set the control proper-

lyo Practice removing and replacing the shelves while

the oven is cool. Read the information and tips on the

following page& Keep this book handy where you can

refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using

your new range.

Electric Ignition

The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by

electric ignition.

To light either burner, press the pad for the desired

function and press the INCREASE or DECREASE

pad until the desired temperature is displayed,. The

burner should ignite within 30-90 seconds,.

After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the

oven burner cycles--off completely, then on with a full

flame--to keep the oven temperature controlled.

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate

the electric ignition oven during an electrical

power failure. The oven or broiler cannot be lit

during a power failure. Gas will not flow unless

the glow bar is hot.

if the oven is in use when a power failure occurs,

the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until

power is restored.

Oven Light

The oven light comes on automatically when the door

is opened Use the pad on the control panel to turn

the light on and off when the door is closed..

Oven Vents

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear

of the cooktop (see the Features section)° Do not

block these openings when cooking in the oven--it is

important that the flow of hot air from the oven and

fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted,,

oThe vent openings and nearby surfaces may

become hot. Do not touch them.

o Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may

become hot if left too close to the vent.

=Do not leave plastic

items on the cooktop--

they may melt if left

too close to the vent.

o Metal items will become very hot if they are left

on the cooktop and could cause burns.

• Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot

air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will

increase pressure in closed containers, which may

cause them to burst

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed

with stop-locks so when

placed correctly on the

shelf supports, they will

stop before coming com-

pletely out of the oven and

will not tilt when you are

removing food from them

or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out

to the "stop" position_ Place the cookware on the

shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven_ This will

eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove a shelf from the

oven, pull the shelf toward

you, tilt the front end upward

and pull the shelf out°

To replace, place the shelf

on the shelf support with

the stop-locks (curved

extension under the shelf)

facing up and toward the

rear of the oven_ Tilt up the front and push the shelf

toward the back of the oven untii it goes past "stop"

on the oven wall Then lower the front of the shelf and

push it all the way back.

Shelf Positions

I The oven has five shelf

supports for normal baking

and roasting--A (bottom),

B, C, D and E (top). It also

has a special low shelf

position, (R) for roasting

extra large items, such as

a large turkey. The Shelf is

not designed to slide out at

this position. The Shelf

positions for cooking are

suggested on the Baking and Roasting pages

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change

of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to

form on the door glass. These droplets are harm-

less and will evaporate as the oven continues to

heat up o

Adjusting the Oven Thermostat

When cooking a food for the first time in your new

oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven

thermostats, over a period of years, may "drift" from

the factory setting and the differences in timing

between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 degrees

are not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at

the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the

oven which it replaced

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive ther-

mometers, such as those found in the grocery store,

to check the temperature setting of your new oven_

These thermometers can vary by 20-40 degrees

If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler,

you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to

change the temperature, set the oven temperature

25°E higher or lower than the temperature in your

recipe, then bake The results of this "test" should give

you an idea of how much the thermostat should be

changed.

To adjust thermostat:

I I 1. Press the BAKE pad

Air Adjustment Shutter for Oven Burners

The air adjustment shutter for the bottom burner regu-

lates the flow of air to the flames.

See installation Section of this book for instructions

for location and proper adjustment of the shutter_

Baking

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during

baking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately

using an electronic control system It is recommended

that you operate the range for a number of weeks

using the time given on recipes as a guide to become

familiar with your new oven's performance° If you think

an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjusting the

Oven Thermostat section.

Baking (continued)

Oven Shelves

Arrange the oven shelf

or shelves in the desired

locations while the oven

is cool.. The correct

shelf position depends

on the kind of food and

the browning desired.

As a general rule, place

most foods in the mid-

die of the oven, on either the second or third shelf

from the bottom. See the chart for suggested shelf

positions°

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it, Preheat

means bringing the oven up to the specified tempera-

_) ture before putting in the food° To preheat, set the

oven at the correct temperature--selecting a higher

_) temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking

cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most

casseroles and roasts, preheating is not necessary°

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,

preheat 10 minutes,. After the oven is preheated place

the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent

heat from escaping_

Layer cakes B or C

Bundt or pound cakes A or B

Pies or pie shells B or C

Frozen pies A (on cookie sheet)

Casseroles B or C

Roasting B or R

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the

pan determines the amount of browning that will

occur..

• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a

browner, crisper crust° Use this type for pies.

o Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning,. Cakes and

cookies require this type of pan_

o Glass baking dishes also absorb heat° When baking

in glass baking dishes, lower the temperature by

25°E and use the recommended cooking time in the

recipe_ This is not necessary when baking pies or

casseroles.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be

enough room for air circulation in the oven,. Baking

results will be better if baking pans are centered as

much as possible rather than being placed to the front

or to the back of the oven.,

Pans should not touch each other or the wails of the

oven.. Allow 1 to 1'/2 inch space between pans as well

as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.

If you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not

directly above the other.

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package

recipe or instructions for the best baking results.

When baking cookies,

flat cookie sheets (with-

out sides) produce bet-

ter-looking cookies.

Cookies baked in a

jelly roll pan (short

sides all around) may

have darker edges and

pale or light browning

may occur..

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the

walls or the door of the oven.

For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the

oven at a time,

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans

to produce a browner, crisper crusL Frozen pies in foil

pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet

for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away

from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain ito

Cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause

uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. A

cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recom-

mended will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than

it should beo If baked in a pan smaller than recom-

mended, it may be undercooked and batter may over-

flow.. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used

is the one recommended.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a

shelf with a large cookie

sheet or aluminum foil..

This will disturb the heat

circulation and results in

poor baking° A smaller

sheet of foil may be used

to catch a spillover by pla-

cing it on a lower shelf

several inches below the food..

Don't Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do

not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes

provide minimum and maximum baking times such as

"bake 30-40 minutes°"

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum

time° Opening the oven door frequently during cook-

ing allows heat to escape and makes baking times

longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

Roasting

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during

roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poul-

try can be roasted uncovered in your oven_ Roasting

temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep

spattering to a minimum°

The oven has a special

low shelf support (R) just

above the oven bottom°

Use it when extra cooking

space is needed, for

example, when roasting a

large turkey. This shelf is

not designed to slide out

at this position.

Roasting is easy, just follow these steps:

1. Position the oven shelf

on shelf support (B) for

small roasts (3 to 5

pounds) and on shelf

support (R) for larger

roasts°

2. Check the weight of the

meat. Place the meat

fat-side-up or the poultry breast-side-up on roast-

ing rack in a shallow pan,. The melting fat will baste

the meat. Select a pan as close to the side of the

meat as possible° (The broiler pan with rack is a

good pan for this.) Line the broiler pan with alu-

minum foil when using the pan for marinating, cook-

ing with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats, or bast-

ing the food during cooking.. Avoid spilling these

materials inside the oven or inside the oven door.

3. Press the BAKE pad,.

4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE

pad. The last oven set temperature ap-

displayed,. When the oven reaches the temperature

you set, a tone will sound._

I CLEAR ] 5. Press the CLEAR/OFF when roasting

is finished and then remove food from

OFF the oven_

6. Most meats continue to cook slightly while stand-

ing, after being removed from the oven, Standing

time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes,

This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easi-

er to carver Internal temperature will rise about 5° to

10°1::.; to compensate for temperature rise, if

desired, remove the roast from oven sooner (at 5°

to 10°E less than temperature in the Roasting

Guide)_

NOTE: You may wish to Time Bake, as described in the

Baking section, to turn oven on and off automatically.

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot

oven and therefore should be removed when the

desired internal temperature has been reached.

To change the oven temperature during roasting,

press the BAKE pad and then the INCREASE or

DECREASE pad to get the new temperature,,

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc. can be started

without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes per pound

additional time (t5 minutes per pound for roasts under

5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure

even donenesso Some commercial frozen poultry can

be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow direc-

tions given on package label.

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the

same timer For example: While roasting a 20-lb.

turkey on shelf (R), a second shelf (if so equipped)

may be added on position D so that scalloped pota-

toes can be cooked at the same time. Calculate the

total cooking time to enable both dishes to complete

cooking at the same time° Allow 15 to 20 minutes of

additional cooktime for the potatoes°

BroS ing

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during

broiling° The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the

food° Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be

broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and

smoking to a minimum.

The oven door should be closed during broiling,

1. if the meat has fat or gristle near edge, cut vertical

slashes through both about 2" aparL If desired, fat

may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8" thick.

2. Place the meat on the broiler rack in the broiler pan

which comes with the range Always use the rack

so fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices

may become hot enough to catch fire.

3. Position shelf on the recommended shelf position

as suggested in Broiling Guide.

4, Close the oven door but do not latch it. If the door

latch is moved to the right during a broil opera-

tion the door may lock and you may not be able

to open it until the oven cools.

5. Press the BROIL pad.

Broiling Guide

Turn food, then use the

times given for second

side as a guide to

preferred doneness.

(Where two thickness-

es and times are given

together, use first times

given for thinnest food_)

CLEAR t 8.When broiling is completed press the

CLEAR/OFF pad, Serve food immedi-

OFF J ately, and leave the pan outside the

oven to cool during the meal for easi-

est cleaning.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil

to line your broiler pan

and broiler rack. However,

you must mold the foil

tightly to the rack and cut

slits in it just like the rack,

Without the slits, the foil

will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the

broiler pan_ The juices could become hot enough to

catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying,

not broiling.

Questions & Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a

rack in the pan?

A. Yes° Using the rack suspends the meat over the

pan As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,

thus keeping meat drier Juices are protected by

the rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive

spatter and smoking

O. Should I salt the meat before broiling?

A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate. Always salt after cooking° Turn meat

with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows

juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish,

brush each side often with butter.

Why are my meats not turning out as brown as

they should?

Check to see if you are using the recommended

shelf position. Broil for longest period of time

indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn food only once

during broiling

Broiling Tips

The oven and broiler compartment doors must be

closed during broiling,

•I. Always use broiler pan and rack that comes with

your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and

spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower

part of the pan.,

2. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around out-

side edges of meat° To slash, cut crosswise through

outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use

tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing meat

and losing juices_

3. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broil-

ing. Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 min-

utes only.

4. When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges

hang over sides, which could soil the broiler with fat

dripping.,

5, Broiler compartment does not need to be preheat-

ed. However, for very thin foods, or to increase

browning, preheat if desired,,

6, Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the

broiler pan and rack at next lowest shelf position

and increasing cooking time given in this guide 11,4

times per side,

Operating the Serf°Cleaning Oven

Normal Cleaningqime: 4 hours

Before a Clean Cycle

Quick Reminder:

I. Prepare the oven for cleaning,

2. Close and latch the oven door

3. Press the CLEAN pad

4. Press the INCREASE pad,

If you wish to change preset clean time of 4

hours, press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad

until desired stop time appears in the display,

1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, al! cookware

and any aluminum foil from the oven--they cannot

withstand the high cleaning temperatures, (Oven

shelves may be left in oven. NOTE: Shelves will

discolor after the self-clean cycle,)

2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you use

soap, rinse thoroughly before self cleaning to pre-

vent staining,

cooking oi! after self-cleaning to make shelves slide

more easily

Caution: Drip pans should never be cleaned in the

self-cleaning oven.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven

protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven. A

combination of any of these products plus the high

clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain

finish of the oven_

Important

The oven door must be closed and latched and all

controls must be set correctly for the clean cycle to

work properly

How to Set Oven for Cleaning

1. Follow steps above to prepare the oven

for cleaning,

2. Close the oven door and slide

--_ the latch handle to the right

U_I_W_.,,,,,_ as far as it will go.

3. Clean spatters or spills on the oven front frame (A)

and only that area on the oven door that is outside

the gasket (B)o Do not clean the gasket. Use deter-

gent and hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad,

then rinse well with a vinegar and water mixture°

This will help prevent a brown residue from forming

when the oven is heated, Buff these areas with a

dry cloth Never use a commercial oven cleaner in

or around the self-cleaning oven.

o Clean top, sides and outside front of oven door with

soap and water, Do not use abrasives or oven clean-

er&

o Do not rub or clean the door gasket (B)--the fiber-

glass material of the gasket has an extremely low

resistance to abrasion, An intact and well-fitting oven

door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven

operation and good baking results, tf you notice the

gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any

way or if it has become displaced on the door, you

should have it replaced

4. Close and latch the door. Make sure the oven light

Oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning

oven° However, they will darken, lose their luster and

become hard to slide, Wipe the shelf supports with

Never force the door latch handle. Forcing the

handle may damage the door lock mechanism.

3.Press the CLEAN pad,

CLEAN 4,Press the INCREASE or DECREASE

pad until desired Clean Time is dis-

played_

Clean Time is normally 4 hours.. You can change the

Clean Time to anywhere between 2 and 4 hours,

depending on how dirty the oven is,. The self-clean

cycle will automatically begin within a few seconds

after the word "CLEAN" is displayed and the word

"ON" appears on the display. When the oven heats to

a high temperature, the word "LOCK" wilt be displayed

and, a short time later, the door latch handle will be

locked in position. It will not be possible to open the

oven door until the temperature drops below the lock

temperature°

5. When the LOCK light is off, slide the latch handle

to the left as far as it will go and open the door_

After a Clean Cycle

When the clean cycle is finished, the word "CLEAN"

will go out in the display and the oven will begin to

cool. When the oven temperature has fallen below the

locking temperature the word "LOCK" goes out and

the door can be opened.

After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash in

the oven. ,,lust wipe it up with a damp cloth, tf white

spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel

wool pad Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a vinegar

and water mixture. These deposits are usually a salt

residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycler

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, the cycle

may be repeated

How to Delay Start of Cleaning

Delay Start is setting the oven timer to start the clean

cycle automatically at a later time than the present

time of day NOTE: Before beginning, make sure the

oven clock shows the correct time of day

Quick Reminder--Delay Start for

Questions and Answers

Q. if my oven clock is not set to the correct time of

day, can I still self-clean my oven?

A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day, you

will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a

specific time,

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any

part of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around

any part of this oven, If you do use them and do

not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it

absolutely clean afterward, the residue can scar

the oven surface and damage metal parts the next

time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. What should t do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil Press the

CLEAR/OFF pad. Open windows to rid room of

smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and the

word "LOCK" is off in the display. Wipe up the

excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the "crackling" sound I hear during cleaning

normal?

A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and

cooling during both the cooking and cleaning func-

tionso

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

A. Yes, there may be a slight odor during the first few

cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might

also cause a strong odor when cleaning

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enam-

eled surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating

and cooling during cleaning° These lines do not

affect how your oven performs°

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after clean-

ing?

A, Some types of soil wilt leave a deposit, which is

ash° it can be removed with a damp sponge or

cloth.

My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is

the matter?

After many cleanings, oven shelves may become

so clean they do not slide easily. To make shelves

slide more easily, after each self-cleaning cycle

dampen fingers with a small amount of cooking oil

and rub lightly over sides of shelf where they con-

tact shelf supports_

My oven shelves have become gray after the

self-cleaning cycle. Is this normal?

Yes. After the self-cleaning cycle, the shelves may

lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray.

The word "door" appeared on the display when

I selected the Clean Cycle. What's wrong?

The door latch handle must be moved all the way

to the right. Move the latch handle and cleaning will

start,

coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates,,

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a

covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup

ammonia to loosen the soil, Then scrub with a soap-

filled scouring pad if necessary_

Although they're durable, the grates will gradually lose

their shine, regardless of the best care you can give

them. This is due to their continual exposure to high

temperatures.

Do not operate a 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,.

Oven Air Vents

Never block the vents (air openings) of the

range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are

necessary for the range to operate properly with

correct combustion. Air openings are located at the

rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the

oven door, and at the bottom of the range, under

the kick panel, storage drawer or broiler drawer

(depending on the model).

Cooktop Surface

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface

of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming

dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of

acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etco) or foods

with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if

allowed to sit. When the surface has cooled, wash

and rinse.

For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc,., wash with

soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then

rinse and polish with a dry cloth°

Do not store flammable materials in an oven or

near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible

materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity' of this or any other appliance_

Broiler Pan and Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler

pan and rack from the storage

drawer, oven or broiler com-

partment (depending on your,

model).. Remove the rack from, /A_- _.--- ---._ ._\i' "_ -i-.. 'I ............ !

the pan,. Carefully pour out the [_/1.'_ "_k_.i

grease in the pan into a proper

container..

if food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent

while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dish-

cloth. That way, burned-on foods will soak loose while

the meal is being served.

Wash; scour if necessary. Rinse and dry°

Do not let a soiled pan and rack stand in the range to

cool. The broiler pan and rack may be cleaned in a

dishwasher.. Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack

anywhere in the range.

Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven.

Oven Shelves

Shelves can be cleaned by

hand using soap and water or

with an abrasive cleanser,.

After cleaning, rinse the

shelves with clean water and

dry. To remove heavy,

burned-on soil, you may use

scouring pads,. After scrub-

bing, wash with soapy water,

rinse and dry.

Shelves may also be cleaned in the self-cleaning

oven, but will discolor and lose some luster. See the

Operating Your Self-Cleaning Oven Section.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a

porcelain enamel finish.

To make cleaning easier,

protect the oven bottom

from excessive spillovers

by placing a cookie sheet

on the shelf below the

shelf you are cooking on.

You can use aluminum foil

if you do not cover the

whole shelf. This is partic-

ularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods

with a high acid content° Hot fruit fillings or other foods

that are highly acidic (such as milk, tomatoes or

sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice)

may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enam-

el surface and should be wiped up immediately Take

care not to touch hot portion of oven.

If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow the

oven to coot first. You can then clean the oven bottom

with soap and water, an abrasive cleaner or scouring

pad& Rinse well to remove any soap before self-

cleaning.

the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by

hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional

stains when the oven is heated

oThe area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a

scouring pad.

• Do not rub or clean the door gasket-the fiberglass

material of the gasket has an extremely low resis-

tance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven

Minor Adjustments You Can Make

Broil and Oven Burner

Air Adjustment Shutters

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be

determined visually. See the Installation Instructions

and the Problem Solver sections in this book. Air

adjustment shutters for the top (broil) and bottom

burners regulate the flow of air to the flames,

The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil) burner is

in the center of the rear wall of the oven, (See the

Installation Instructions in this book°)

The flames for the top (broil) burner should burn

steady with approximately 1" blue cones and should

not extend out over the edges of the burner baffler

To determine if the bottom burner flames are

proper, remove the oven bottom and the burner baf-

fle,

To remove the oven bottom:

1, Remove the knurled screws

holding down rear of oven

bottom,

2. Grasp the oven bottom at

finger slots on each side, _-,\ Oven

3. Lift the rear of the oven bot- Bottom

tom enough to clear the lip of the range frame, then
