Important Instructions for Using your
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 controls each surface
burner. Place a pan of food on the burner
before turning it on, and turn the burner
off before removing the pan.
•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.
•Utensil handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface
burners — 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 spills that may ignite,
or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
•Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cook top use.
•When you are flaming foods under a
ventilating hood, turn the fan on.
Save these instructions for future reference.

Important Instructions for Using Your Oven
•Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room. Doing so may result in
CARBON MONOXIDE poisoning.
•Use care when opening over door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some
models). Stand to the side of the range
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 clear. 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.
•Always handle oven racks when the oven
is cool. Place oven racks in desired
positions while the oven is cool. if a rack
must be moved while the oven is hot, use
extreme caution. Use potholders and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposi-
tion. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven. Remove all
cookware and utensils before moving the
rack.
•Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease
could ignite.
•Do not use aluminum foil or other protec-
tive liners 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.
•Do not cook food on the oven bottom.
Always cook in proper cookware and
always use the over racks.
Important Instructions for Cleaning Your
Range
Before manually cleaning any
part of the range, be sure all controls are
turned OFF and the range is cool. Cleaning a
hot range can cause burns
•Clean the range regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Pay
particular attention to the area around
each burner element. Do not allow grease
to accumulate.
•On models with stainless steel cooktops,
clean with warm soapy water using a
clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean
water and dry with a soft clean cloth. Do
not use any store bought cleaners like
stainless steel cleaners or any other types
of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlo-
rides, chlorine, or ammonia. It is recom-
mended to use mild dish soap and water
or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.
•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
the hood or filter. Follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions for cleaning hoods.
Self-Cleaning Ovens
•Use the self-clean cycle to clean only the
parts listed in this manual. Before using
self-clean, remove the broiler pan, any
food, utensils, and cookware from the
oven. Remove oven racks unless otherwise
instructed.
•Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner, oven liner, or protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
•Do not clean the oven door gasket. The
door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Do not rub, damage, or move the gasket.

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:
•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 (Figure 1) should
fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level. Refer
to Figure 2for correct and incorrect burner cap placement.
•Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the
burner cap from side to side (Figure 3) to be sure it is
centered and firmly seated. 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.

Before Setting Surface Controls
Double Ring style burners (some models)
The Double Ring burner only operates properly with two burner
caps in place. Be sure the burner cap lips are positioned facing
down towards the burner head and into the recessed areas
(Figure 4) on each side of the burner head. Be sure both burner
caps are seated firmly and rest level on the burner head before
operating.
Check the fit for each cap using the same method for the round
burner caps by gently sliding each cap from side to side. Please
note that the burner cap lips should NOT move out of recessed
areas of the burner head.
Installing burner grates
Do not use the surface burners without the
burner caps and burner grates properly installed. Missing pieces
or improper installation may lead to spills, burns, or damage to
your range and cookware.
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.

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.
For best cooking results, cookware should have flat bottoms that
rest level on the burner grate. Before using cookware, check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware
(Figure 6).
Please note: 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 most popular materials available are:
•Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists
staining & pitting).
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
•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.
*These settings are based for medium-weight metal or
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other
types of pans.
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
below 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. .
Figure 6: Check for flat bottom cookware
Figure 7: Proper flame size for efficient cooking
Flame size Type of cooking

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:
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.
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the Lite
position. Visually check that the burner is lit.
4. Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in and
turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the
control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.
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 2 different
surface cooking areas at the same time. This can cause
uneven heating results.
•In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting
surface burners manually. To light a surface burner, hold a
lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface
control knob to Lite. After burner lights push in and turn
knob to desired setting.
•When operating the oven, it is possible for residual heat
from the oven to build-up and over time to eventually
transfer to the surface control knobs located directly above
the oven door.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the range cooktop.
Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material
that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may
permanently damage the cooktop surface.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United
States Department of Agriculture) website 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.
•Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
•Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
•Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
Figure 8: Proper way to set burners

Setting Surface Burners
Setting Double Ring Burner (some models)
The versatile Double Ring surface burner offers a complete
range of gas surface settings from the same burner position.
At the lowest setting, only the burner’s inner ring is active,
providing a smaller flame that is perfect for simmering. If
needed, the burner’s outer ring may be added and when set for
HI will provide a gas flame that may be used to bring a large
pan of liquid to boil quickly.
Operating the Double Ring Burner:
1. Push right front surface burner control knob in and turn
counterclockwise out of the OFF position.
2. Release the knob and rotate to the Lite position.
3. Visually check that both inner and outer rings for the
Double Ring burner are lit (Figure 11). Once lit, push in the
control knob and to turn counterclockwise out of the Lite
position and adjust to the desired flame size.
4. When adjusting for a low or simmer type flame setting,
continue to rotate the control knob counterclockwise from
MED setting towards LO (Figure 9). Between the MED and
LO setting the flame for the outer ring portion of the burner
will turn off leaving only the inner burner with a flame for
simmering (Figure 11). Make any further flame adjustments
as needed.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the range cooktop.
Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material
that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may
permanently damage the cooktop surface.
Important:
•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.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel.
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. Do not block oven vent:
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven
racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Protective Liners — DO NOT USE ALUMINUM
FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recom-
mended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back
of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the
cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
Types of oven racks
The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (on some models) is designed to place the
base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than flat
oven racks. This design allows several additional positions
between the flat rack positions.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack
(on some models) in the lowest rack position for roasting large
cuts of meat.

Setting Oven Controls
Setting Conv Bake
Benefits of the convection bake feature:
•Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy.
•Multiple rack baking.
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven 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 food items will cook faster and more evenly with the
convection feature.
Conv Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F
(148°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Suggestions for Convection baking:
•For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat
the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and
breads.
•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.
•For best results when using a single oven rack, place rack in
position 3 or 4 (Figure 28). When using 2 oven racks, place
in positions 3 & 5. When using 3 oven racks place in
positions 2, 4, & 6 (use offset rack only in position 6).
To set Conv Bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:
1. Press Conv Bake.
2. Press .
To cancel Conv Bake at any time press .
•The convection fan will begin rotating 6 minutes after Conv
Bake, Conv Roast or Conv Convert has been activated.
•If the oven door is opened when any convection function is
active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven
door is closed.
•When using Conv Bake cook time reductions may vary
depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
•Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of foods. To
prevent this it may be necessary to reduce the oven temper-
ature or cook time to prevent over browning of some foods.
Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are
recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
•Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.

•The convection fan will begin rotating once Conv Bake,
Conv Roast or Conv Convert has been activated.
•If the oven door is opened when any convection function is
active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven
door is closed.
Setting Conv Roast
The Conv Roast function combines a cook cycle with the convec-
tion fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked with Conv
Roast function will be juicer 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) to 550°F (288°C).
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
(check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook
time until the desired doneness is obtained.
•Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent the
meat from browning properly.

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).
Be aware that the suggested broil settings table (Table 1)
provide recommendations only. Increase or decrease broiling
times, or move to a different rack position to suit for doneness. If
the food you are broiling is not listed in the table, follow the
instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item
closely.
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.
2. Position cookware in oven. Close door before broiling.
3. Press Broil.
4. Press .
5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn an broil other side
until done to your satisfaction.
6. When finished broiling press .
To cancel Broil at any time press .
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 the fire. Flour may be
explosive
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior, oven
racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Important note:
•Always arrange oven racks when oven is cool.
•For best results when broiling, use quality broil pan along
with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to drain the
fat from food, helping to reduce smoking and avoid
splatter.
•When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.

foods. To prevent this it may be necessary to reduce the
oven temperature or cook time of some foods.
•Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.
•Breads will have better results baking on a single oven rack.
•Layer cakes will have best results using the Cakes function.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes or cookies using 2 oven
racks, place cookware on rack in positions 3 and 5 (6 if using
the offset oven rack). For best results when baking cakes or
cookies using a single oven rack, place offset oven rack in
positions 3 or 4.
Meat Probe
When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry, use the
meat probe function to check the internal temperature without
any guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts,
testing the internal temperature is the best method to insure
properly cooked meats.
Important note:
•Use ONLY the meat probe supplied with appliance. Using
any other probe or device may result in damage to
appliance and the meat probe receptacle.
•Never leave or store meat probe inside oven.
•Handle the meat probe carefully when inserting and
removing from food or probe receptacle. Do not use tongs
to pull on meat probe cable when inserting or removing
from food or receptacle.
•Defrost food completely before inserting meat probe to
avoid damaging probe.
•To avoid possibility of burns, after cooking carefully unplug
meat probe using a pot holder to protect hands.
Proper meat probe placement:
Always insert meat probe so that the probe tip rests in the center
of the thickest part of meat. Do not allow meat probe to touch
bone, fat, gristle or cookware.
For bone-in ham or lamb, insert meat probe into the center of
lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or
casseroles, insert meat probe into center of food. When cooking
fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
For whole poultry or turkey, insert meat probe into the thickest
part of inner thigh, below the leg (Figure 33).

Setting Slow Cook
The Slow Cook function may be used to cook foods more slowly
and at lower oven temperatures. Slow Cook provides cooking
results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot.
Slow Cook is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow
cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming
dark but not burnt. This is normal.
For Slow Cook two settings are available, high (Hi) or low (Lo).
The high setting is best for cooking foods from a 4 to 5 hour
time period. The low setting is best for cooking foods from a 8
to 9 hour time period.
Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:
•Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the
Slow Cook.
•When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position
2 or 3.
•Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking
utensils 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 extended.
•Cover the foods to keep them 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
& the shape of the roast.
•Use the recipe’s recommended food temperature and a
food thermometer to determine when the food is done.
•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.
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. Foods that can easily spoil
such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the
refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the
oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be
removed promptly when finished cooking.
To set Slow Cook:
1. Position cookware 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 to select

Self Clean
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures that
are well above normal cooking temperatures. The high cleaning
temperature eliminates soils completely or reduces them to a
fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp
cloth.
The Self Clean function allows you to set any amount of
cleaning time from 2 hours to 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning time is
best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light soils and a
4-hour clean time for heavier stubborn soils.
Read before starting Self Clean
Be sure to read all the following caution and important state-
ments BEFORE starting the self-cleaning cycle:
DO NOT leave small children unattended near
the appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the
range can become very hot to touch and can cause burns.
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.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can
damage the automatic door locking system.
Use caution when opening the oven door after
self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT and can cause
burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when
opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
Important note:
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.
•This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks,
which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is
important that the sides of the oven racks always have a
light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack
performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the
sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the
rack becomes difficult to slide.
•DO NOT use 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 (Figure 50). These areas heat sufficiently
to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting
Self Clean.
•Remove any excessive spill overs. Any spills on the oven
bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting a
self-clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth.
Large spill overs can cause heavy smoke or fire when
subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills
with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface
as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
•DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (Figure 50). The woven
material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good
seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove
the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven
door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door
gasket.
1. Be sure the oven is empty and ALL oven racks are removed.
Remove all items from the cooktop. Be sure oven door is
completely closed.
2. Press Self Clean for a default 3-hour clean time. After
pressing Self Clean you may accept the default 3-hour
clean time by going to step 3. At this time you may choose
a different clean time. The amount of clean time must be
within 2 to 4 hours and entered using the numeric keys
pads. Enter 2 0 0 for a 2-hour time or enter 4 0 0 for a 4-
hour self-clean time. You may choose a 2 hour 15 minute
clean time by entering 2 1 5 (hours and minutes).

3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away
any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper
towel.
Important note:
•The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open
window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the 1st self-
clean cycle to help eliminate the normal odors associated
with the 1st self-clean cycle.
•When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain
locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition to
the clean time that was programmed, you must allow about
1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you will be
able to open the oven door.
•The Self Clean function will not operate whenever a radiant
surface element is ON or the oven lockout is active.

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Remove spills and any heavy soiling as
soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later.
Surface Type Recommendation
Aluminum and Vinyl •Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trims
•Use a soft cloth and clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of
vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a
soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first.
•Do not spray liquids directly on the oven control and display area. Do not use large
amounts of water on the control panel. Excess water on the control area may cause
damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring
pads, or paper towels. They will damage the finish.
Easy Clean™ Stainless Steel •Your oven finish may be Easy Clean™ Stainless Steel (some models). Clean the stainless
with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry
with a soft clean cloth. Do not use any store bought cleaners like stainless steel cleaners
or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia.
It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and
vinegar.
Porcelain coated oven racks •This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven
during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is
important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil.
To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides
of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.

insert (available by mail order)
Door liner and body parts
•Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1
solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an
ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp
cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
Oven racks •Oven racks must be removed from oven cavity. Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner
following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Oven door •Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse
well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the door. Do not immerse the
door in water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on
the outside of the oven door.
•Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-clean models, the oven door gasket is made
of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or remove this gasket.

Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the cooktop and surface burners
To avoid possible burns DO NOT attempt any
of the cleaning instructions provided below before turning OFF
all of the surface burners and allow them to cool.
Any additions, changes or conversions required
in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application
needs must be made by an authorized qualified Agency.
Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and
wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head
ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an
uneven flame. See the following sections for more instructions.
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop
If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up
spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and
wipe dry.
To clean burner grates
•Clean when the grates are cool.
•Use nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mild abrasive
cleanser.
•Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean
immediately after the grates are cool.
•Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.
To clean burner caps
•Remove caps from burner heads after they have cooled.
•Clean heavy soils with a plastic scrubbing pad and
absorbent cloth.
•Thoroughly dry burner caps 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. See IMPORTANT notes below.
To clean the 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.
Any spill on or around the electrode must be carefully cleaned.
Take care not to hit the electrode with any thing hard or it could
be damaged.
To clean the burner head ignition ports
Each burner head has a small ignition port located as illus-
trated. 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 (refer to Figure 55; round style
shown; oval models on some models not shown).
Important: 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.
The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and must
be cleaned in place on the cooktop. 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 holder opening.

Care and Cleaning
General Cleaning
Refer to the Cleaning recommendation information in the Care
and Cleaning section for more details about cleaning specific
parts of the range.
Before manually cleaning any part of the range,
be sure all controls are turned of and the range is cool. The
range may be hot and could 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 and never cover an entire oven rack with
materials such as aluminum foil.
Doing so blocks the air flow through the oven and may cause
CARBON MONOXIDE poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may trap heat and cause a fire hazard.
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 sued on the cooktop.
•If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the
cooktop, the cookware may be damaged or destroyed.
Replacing the oven light
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are
cool before replacing oven light.
The interior oven lights are located at the rear of the oven
cavity. (See Figure 56).
To replace the oven interior light bulbs:

Before You Call
Solutions to Common Problems
Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time and expense. Possible solutions are provided with the
problem listed:
Problem Solution
Poor baking results •Many factors effect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the
oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat oven to the set temperature
before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or
baking time. See “Self Clean” on page 33 if you feel the oven is too hot or cold.
Oven does not operate. •The time of day is not set. The oven clock must first be set in order to operate the oven.
•Be sure oven controls are set properly. See “Setting the Clock” on page 15 and review
instructions for the desired cooking function in this manual.
•Service wiring is not complete.
Oven light does not work. •Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See “Replacing the oven light” on page 37.
Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vent.
•Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto oven bottom or oven cavity. Wipe
up excessive spills before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present when
using broil, see “Setting Broil” on page 21.
Self clean does not work. •Oven control not set properly. Review “Self Clean” on page 33.
Oven racks discolored or do not
slide easily.
•Oven racks left in oven cavity during self clean. Always remove oven racks from oven
cavity before starting a self-clean cycle. Clean using a mild abrasive cleaner following
manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry, and replace in oven.
Oven smokes excessively when
broiling.
•Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in “Setting Broil” on page 21
•Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition broil rack to provide proper clearance
between the meat and broil element. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty
edges to prevent curling.
•Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.
Oven control panel beeps and
displays any F or E code error.
•Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press STOP to clear the error code.
Try bake or broil function. If the F or E code error repeats, turn off power to appliance,
wait 5 minutes and then repower appliance. Set clock with correct time of day. Try bake
or broil function again. If fault recurs, press STOP to clear.
Soil not completely removed after
self clean.
•Self Clean was interrupted. Review instructions in “Self Clean” section on page 33.
•Excessive spills on oven bottom. Clean before starting self clean.
•Failure to clean soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket,
and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas are not in the
self-cleaning area, but they get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before
starting the self-cleaning cycle. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon
brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
