iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
®Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children
should not be left alone or unattended in
area where the range is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the range. Injuries may
result from the misuse of appliance doors
or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or
sitting on the doors or drawers.
oWear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the range.
User Servicing - Do not repair or replace
any part of the range unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Maintenance - Keep range area clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Storage in or on the Range - Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven
or near surface units.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires -
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical
or foam-type extinguisher.
Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR
AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units
may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near surface units may
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact surface units or areas near units
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among those areas are the cook-top and
surfaces facing the cook-top.
- SAVE
Use Proper Pan Size - The range is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different size. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner
will also improve efficiency. Top burner
flame size should be adjusted so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the
cooking utensil.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended
at High Heat Settings - Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite.
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls
Are in Place - Absence of these pans or
bowls during cooking may subject wiring
or components underneath to damage.
Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum
foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven
bottoms, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in a risk of electric
shock, or fire.
®Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for range-top service
without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned
Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Units - To reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials,
and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of a utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.

Caring
forYour
This section tells you how to operate the controls to the cooktop. It also discusses how
the sealed gas burner cooktop works, and includes tips on how to cook with and
maintain the cooktop.
Usingthe surfaceburners
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with
an auto-reignition system. The sealed
burners spread the heat evenly across the
bottom of the cookware and provide infinite
heat control. The auto-reignition system
senses when a burner flame has gone out
and will automatically reignite that burner.
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory=set
for use with Natural Gas. If you wish to
use L.P. gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit
is included with your new range. See the
appropriate section of the Installation
Instructions for details on making this
conversion.
When to use the rightrear
and leftfrontburners:
10,000 BTU burner
When to use the leftrear and
rightfrontburners:
6,000 BTU burner
6,000 BTU burner
Use these burners for simmering or for cook-
ing smaller quantities of food requiring small
cookware.
10,000 BTU burner
Use these burners for cooking large quanti-
ties of food, deep-fat frying, or cooking with
large cookware.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard
Do not operate with a yellow flame.
Doing so can result in death,
heart attack, or convulsions.
How to use the surface burners:
1. Grasp the control knob.
2. Push down and turn to HI. The electric
spark ignitor will ignite the gas flowing
into the burner. When you hear a clicking
sound, you know that the ignitors are
working. Gas is flowing as long as knob is
not set at OFF.
3. When the burner is lit, turn the control
knob to the desired flame setting. (See
the guide under "Burner heat settings"
later in this section.) You can turn the
knobs to any of the marked settings. The
ignitor will turn off and the clicking will
stop when the burner ignites.
NOTES:
The ignitors may click a number of times
before burner lights. This is normal.
All four burner ignitors will spark regard-
less of which burner you are using.
Visually check that the burner has lit. If
the burner does not ignite, listen for the
clicking sound. If you do not hear the
ignitor click, TURN THE BURNER OFF.
Check that the service cord is placed
firmly in the wall receptacle. Check for a
tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.
Check that the control knob is pressed
completely down on valve shaft. If the spark
ignitor still fails to operate, call your nearest
authorized KitchenAid servicing outlet.
Proper grounding and polarity are neces-
sary for correct operation of the electric
ignition system. If the wall receptacle does
not provide correct polarity, the ignitor will
become grounded and click every once in
a while, even after the burner has ignited.
A qualified electrician should check the
wall receptacle to see if it is wired with
correct polarity.
Fire Hazard
Do not let the burner flame extend
beyond the edge of the pan.
Turn off all controls when not
cooking.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or fire.
Burner heat settings
Use correct burner heat settings (see chart
later in this section). If the heat setting is too
high, it can:
Char bacon and cause curling.
Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.
Toughen liver, fish, and seafood.
Scorch delicate sauces and custards.
Cause a boilover.

_sing and Caring forYour Cookfop
Until you get used to the settings, use the
following as a guide. For best results, start
cooking at the high setting; then turn the
control knob down to continue cooking.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
HI o To start foods cooking.
To bring liquids to a boil.
MED ®To hold a rapid boil.
To fry chicken or pancakes.
For gravy, pudding, and
icing.

vegetables.
LO _ To keep food warm until
ready to serve.
in case of a prolonged power
failure
Surface burners can be manually lighted.
1. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn
the control knob to the HI position.
2. After the burner lights, turn the
control knob to the desired setting.
NOTE: Do not leave the cooktop unattended
when cooking during a power failure. The
auto-reignition feature of your cooktop will
not operate during a power failure.

Energy saving tips
Although the energy used for cooking is
usually a very small percentage of the total
energy used in the home, cooking energy
can be used efficiently. Here are some tips
to help you save energy when using your
range:
Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides,
and tight-fitting lids.
Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to
help shorten cooking time.
Start food on higher heat settings, then
set surface burner control on low to finish
cooking.
Turn on the surface burner only after
placing filled pan on the burner.
Cookware tips
®NOTE: For best results and greater fuel
efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cook-
ware in good condition.
The pan should have straight sides and a
tight-fitting lid.
Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are
full or empty.
Pans should be easy to clean. Check to
be sure there are no crevices, rough
edges, or areas where food might collect.
Use cookware only as instructed in the
cookware's user instructions. This is very
important for glass cookware because
some can be used only in the oven. Pans
marked as flameware can be used on
surface burners.
Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-
ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.
The pan material (metal or glass) affects
how fast heat transfers from the surface
burner through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.
Choose pans that provide the best cooking
results.
®Handles should be made of sturdy,
heat-resistant material and be securely
attached to the pan.
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or
cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot
surface burner. The cookware could over-
heat, causing damage to the cookware or
surface burner.
Home canning information
The large diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can cause
damage to the cooktop.
To protect your cooktop:
Center over t P_n
I"uO umorI
Burner
Use a canner/pan which can be cen-
tered over the surface burner. Large
diameter canners/pans, if not properly
centered, trap heat and can cause
damage to the cooktop.
®Do not place canner on two surface
burners at the same time. Too much heat
will build up and will damage the cooktop.
®Start with hot water. This reduces the
time the control is set on high. Reduce
heat setting to lowest position needed to
keep water boiling.
Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.

Baking/convection baking tips
The hot air must circulate around the pans

For best results, allow to 2 inches
(3 to 5 cm) of space around each pan and
between pans and oven walls.
When baking with one pan, place pan in
the center of the oven rack.
When baking with two pans, place pans
in opposite corners of the oven rack.
NOTES:
"Oven peeking" may cause heat loss,
longer cooking times, and unsatisfactory
baking or roasting results. Rely on your
timer.
Do not allow pans to touch the heat
sensor on the left wall near the back.
Poor baking may result.
Do not use aluminum foil when baking.
Aluminum foil may block airflow.

Rack positions
Your oven has three straight racks and five
rack positions. Rack position 5 is the highest
position, or farthest from the bottom of the
oven. Rack position 1 is the lowest position,
or closest to the bottom of the oven.
Baking tips
(Bake pad)
For proper cooking, follow these
guidelines:
When using one rack, place the rack so
the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.
, When using more than one rack, use the
Convection Bake setting.
®Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at
a time when using the Bake setting.
Bakeware tips
When baking with insulated cookie
sheets or baking pans, place them in the
bottom third of the oven. You may need to
increase the recommended baking times,
so test for doneness before removing
from the oven.
When using ovenproof glassware or
dark bakeware, reduce the oven tempera-
ture by 25°F (16°C), but use the same
baking time. Because these pans absorb
heat, producing darker bottom browning
and crispier crusts, place the rack in the
center of the oven. When baking pies and
bread, you can use the temperature
suggested in the recipe.
Rack placement for specific foods:
(For rack positions, see "Rack positions" in
3revious column.)
RACK
FOOD POSITION
Frozen pies 2
Angel food and bundt cakes,
most quick breads, yeast 1 or 2
breads, casseroles, meats
Cookies, biscuits, muffins, 2 or 3
cakes, nonfrozen pies
NOTE: For additional baking tips see "Baking
or convection baking" earlier in this section.
Convection baking tips
(ConvectionBake pad)
Do not use aluminum foil when convection
baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.
Reduce recommended standard cooking
temperatures by approximately 25°F (16°C).
The cooking times can also be reduced for
most recipes. See recipes and cooking charts
in your convection oven cookbook for recom-
mended temperatures and times, or use EASY
CONVECT* Conversion (later in this section).
NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when
you use more than one rack.
When baking on two or three racks, use
the Convection Bake setting for more even
results. (You can, however, use only one
rack when Convection Baking.)
To use three racks during convection
baking, place one rack in position 5 (the
highest position), another rack in position
1 (the closest to the oven bottom), and the
third rack in position 3. This allows all three
racks to be an equal distance apart for
better baking.
, Stagger cake pans or other cookware in
opposite directions on each rack when
three racks are used.

Roasting tips
Spattercan be reduced by liningthe
bottomoftheroastingpan withlightly
crushed aluminum foil.
Use an accurate meat thermometer or
temperature probe (see "Using the
temperature probe" later in this section) to
determine when meat has reached desired
degree of doneness. Insert the thermom-
eter or probe into the center of the thickest
portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast
of poultry. For an accurate reading, the tip
of the thermometer or probe should not
touch fat, bone, or gristle.
After reading the thermometer once,
push it further into the meat inch (1 cm)
or more and read again. If the temperature
drops, return the meat to the oven for more
cooking.
Check pork and poultry with a thermom-
eter in 2-3 places to ensure adequate
doneness.
Poultry and roasts will be easier to
carve if loosely covered with foil and
allowed to stand 10-15 minutes after
removal from the oven.
You can reduce roasting times and
temperatures for most standard recipes
when using the Convection Roast setting.
See recipe adaption chart or convection-
roasting chart in your convection oven
cookbook for recommended roasting times
and temperatures, or use EASY CONVECT*
Conversion (later in this section).
Use the convection roasting rack on the
broiler pan (both included with your range).
(The convection roasting rack rests on the
broiler pan, not inside it.) The long side of
the rack should be parallel with the oven
door for best heat distribution and airflow.

cook faster or slower than your old oven.
If, after using the oven for a period of time,
you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting
results, you can change the offset tempera-
ture by following the steps below. The

When programming your own cycle:
1. Start with meat or main dish items (times
are more critical with these items).
2. Choose baked goods with bake tempera-
tures similar to those of meat or main
dish items. Convection baking time of
+/-10 to 15 minutes and temperatures of
+/-25°F to 50°F (+-4°C to +-10°C) are
acceptable.
3. Choose vegetables and fruits last.
Using EASY CONVECT* Conversion
EASY CONVECT Conversion lets you
convection cook without entering convection
cook temperatures and times. Simply enter
the standard cook temperature and time for
the food to be cooked. The oven will reduce
the temperature, or the temperature and
time, for convection cooking. (Convection
temperatures and times are not as long
because the heated air is circulated in the
oven cavity for quicker cooking.)
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than
one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in death,
food poisoning, or sickness.
NOTE: The converted temperatures and
times are not precise because the food
categories you choose from are general.
(See "EASY CONVECT Conversion setting
chart" later in this section for which foods
you can cook in each category.) To ensure
proper cooking, the oven will prompt you to
check food at the end of cook time. If food
needs more cooking, the oven will continue
to cook. If food does not need more cooking,
press CANCEL/OFF.

Broiling tips
®Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling.
They are designed to drain excess liquid
and grease away from the cooking surface
to help prevent spatter or smoke.
, If you broil small quantities, you may
want to use a small broiler pan. They are
available in the housewares section of
many department stores.
®For best broiling results, preheat for
5 minutes. Do not preheat with broiler
pan in place.
, Broiling rack position determines how
the burner cooks your food. The lower
the position, the more broiler grid area
covered. See "Thermal broiling chart"
later in this section for more information.
®To sear meat, place broiler pan at one of
the higher rack positions.
o Thin (%" [2 cm]) steaks may be broiled in
the higher rack positions.
To cook thick (11/2"[4 cm]) steaks and
other thick cuts of meat well done, start
cooking on a lower rack position or move
them to a lower rack position after searing.
After broiling, remove the broiler pan
from the oven when you remove the food.
Drippings will bake on the pan if you leave
it in the heated oven.
NOTE: See "Broiling" earlier in this section
for additional broiling tips.

Timed cooking
The electronic clock/oven control will turn
the oven on and off at times you set, even
when you are not around.
Delayed time baking/roasting is ideal for
foods which do not require a preheated
oven, such as meats and casseroles. Do
not use delayed time cooking for cakes,
cookies, etc. - they will not rise properly.
Before using timed cooking, make sure
the clock is set to the correct time of day.

theSelf-CleaningCycle
The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-
cleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, you operate the
Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use electronic control. To use this cycle properly,
follow the step-by-step instructions in this section.
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns,
or illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.

¢
Before you start the Self=Cleaning cycle,
make sure you:
Hand-clean the areas shown. They
do not get hot enough during the Self-
Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use
hot water and detergent or a soapy steel-
wool pad for cleaning.
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend
the gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, and
roasting may result.
Remove the broiler pan and grid and
anything else being stored in the oven.
Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This
will help reduce smoke during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
60
Wipe up food spills containing sugar as
soon as possible after the oven cools
down. When sugar is heated to a high
temperature in the Self-Cleaning cycle, the
high temperature can cause the sugar to
burn and react with the porcelain. This can
cause staining and etching or pitting.
Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You can
clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle,
but they will discolor and become harder
to slide. If you clean racks in the
Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the
rack guides.
Heat and odors are normal during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well-
ventilated by opening a window or by
turning on a vent hood or other kitchen
vent during the cycle.
NOTES:
®Do not block the oven vent during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely
for best cleaning results.
Do not leave plastic utensils on the

Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle

NOTE: After 30 minutes, the broil burner
symbol will turn off and the bake burner
symbol will turn on.

6. After the Self=Cleaning cycle
ends:
NOTE: You can run a second Self-
Cleaning cycle right after "DOOR
LOCKED" disappears from the display.
YOU SEE
To stop the Self-Cleaning
cycle at any time:
PRESS YOU SEE
("DOOR LOCKED" will appear
if oven has not cooled down)
For best cleaning results
o After the oven cools to room tempera-
ture, wipe up any residue or ash with a
damp cloth or sponge. If any spots remain,
clean with a mildly abrasive cleanser or
cleaning sponge.
Clean the oven before it gets heavily
soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven
takes longer and results in more smoke
than usual.
If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get
the oven as clean as you expected, the
cycle may not have been set long enough
or you may not have prepared the oven
properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer
the next time and hand-clean areas noted in
"Before you start" earlier in this section.
How the cycle works
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat
to burn away soil and grease. During the
cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it
does for normal baking or broiling. This high
heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns
it away.
Your oven is preset for a 3½-hour Self-
Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the
cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven.
You can set the cycle anywhere between
21½and 41½hours. (See "Setting the con-
trols" earlier in this section.)
The graph at the right is representative of
a normal, 3½-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note
that the heating stops after 3 hours, but it
takes longer for the oven to cool enough
to unlock the door.

Burners spark o It is normal for all four burners to spark briefly when:
- A burner is turned on, but has not yet ignited.
- There is a draft blowing on burners.
- A very large pot on burner causes flame to be unstable.

the sparking should end when the ignited flame is burning
undisturbed.
Continuous sparking may be caused when:
- A spillover has wet ignition switch contacts. Turn on one
or two burners or disconnect electrical supply to let
switch dry out.
- There is a faulty spark module. Contact a service techni-
cian to replace module.
- The wall outlet wiring is incorrect. Contact a qualified
electrician to correct wiring, if needed.
