IMPORTANT SAFETY

NOTICE

• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic

Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California

to publish a list of substances 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 yellow flame, will minimize incomplete

combustion. Exposure to these substances can be

minimized further by venting with an open window or

using a ventilation fan or hood.

• Fluorescent lightbulbs 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

- Have the installer show you the location of the

range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off

if necessary°

• Have your range installed and properly grounded

by a qualified installer in accordance with the

Installation Instructions Any adjustment and service

should be performed only by qualified gas range

installers or service technicians.

• Plug your range (electronic 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 electrical 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. In Canada, the appliance must be

electrically grounded in accordance with the Canadian

Electrical Code° Do not use an extension cord with

this appliance.

, Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of

your range unless it is specifically recommended

in this manual. All other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

• Be sure all packing materials are removed from

the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke

damage, should the packing material ignite

• Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path and

out of drafty locations to prevent pilot outage

(on models with standing pilots) and poor air

circulation,

After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor coverings

will not withstand this kind of use. Never installthe

range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand

such type of use. Never install it directly over interior

kitchen carpeting

Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a

qualified 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 gas See the Installation

Instructions,

WARNING: Theconversionofyourrange

to LP gas must be made by a qualified LP technician

installer in accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions and 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 responsibility for the conversion.

_WARNING

All ranges can tip and injury could

result. To prevent accidental tipping

of the range, attach it to the wall and

floor by installing the Anti-Tip device

supplied.

To check if the device is installed and

engaged properly, remove the storage

drawer, broiler drawer, WARM-N-READY

drawer or kick panel and inspect the

rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits

securely into the slot..

If you pull the range out from the walt

for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged

when you push the range back against the wall. If it is

not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and

causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open

door.. Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in

this manual. Failure to take this precaution could result

in tipping of the range and injury..

(continued next page)

Using Your Range

- Do not leave children alone or unattended where a

range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously

burned.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the

door, storage, broiler, or WARM-N-READY drawer,

(depending on model) or cooktop. They could

damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe

personal injury.

• Let the burner grates and otl_er surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where

children can reach them.

• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN

SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS ABOVE A

RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE--

CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH

ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance+ Be careful when reaching

for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop.

Flammable material could be ignited if brought in

contact with flames or hot oven surfaces and may

cause severe burns

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a

flaming pan. Turn the controls off+ Smother a flaming

pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely

with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray+ Use a

multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher..

Framing grease outside a pan can be put out by

covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using

a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher..

Flame in the oven, storage drawer, broiler drawer,

or WARM+N+READY drawer can be smothered

completely by closing the oven door or drawer and

turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry

chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher

Do not store flammable materials in an oven, range

storage drawer or broiler drawer, WARM-N-READY

drawer, 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.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at

least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry

to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°R

Cooking to these temperatures usually protects

against foodborne illness

For your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

Surface Cooking

• Always use the LITE position (on models with

electric ignition) or the HI position (on models with

standing pilots) when igniting the top burners and

make sure the burners have ignited.

• Never leave the surface burners unattended at high

flame settings. Boilovers cause 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 ctoth in place of a pot hoIder_

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware

handles toward the side or back of the range without

letting them extend over adjacent burners+

o Always turn the surface burners to OFF before

removing cookware.

o 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 burners 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 the sides of the pan.

• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective

shallow or deep fat frying. Filiing 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.

° Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.

° Use a deep-fat thermometer whenever possible to

prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep

fat fryer. Wait until the fat is coo}

• When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed

for top-of-range cooking.

• Use proper pan size. Avoid pans that are unstable or

easily tipped,. Select cookware having flat bottoms large

enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers

and spi!}overs and large enough to cover burner grates.

This will both save cleaning time and prevent

hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy

spattering or spillovers left on the range can ignite°

Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped

and will remain cool..

• Keep all plastics away from the top burners°

, Do not leave plastic

items on the

cooktop--they may

melt if left too close

to the vent

• Do not leave any

items on the cooktop, Ventappearanceandlocationvary

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 the range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the top burners and

create a fire hazar&

• When a pilot goes out (on models with standing

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

to relight the pilot. When re]ighting the pilot, make sure

the burner controls are in the OFF position, and follow

instructions in the Installation Instructions to re]ight.

o 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.

WARM-N-READY Drawer

The purpose of the WARM-N-READY drawer is to

hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature.

Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be

heated or cooked in the WARM-N-READY drawer.

• Do not use the WARM-N-READY drawer to dry

newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

o Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils

or food in the WARM-N-READY drawer when

not in use.

• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near

your WARM-N-READY drawer.

• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and

canned food a safe distance away from your

WARM-N-READY drawer.

* Do not warm food in the WARM-N-READY drawer

for more than two hours.

* Do not touch the heating element or the interior

surface of the WARM-N-READY drawer. These

surfaces may be hot enough to cause burns,.

REMEMBER: The inside surface of the WARM-N-

READY drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.

, Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer

a crack and fet hot air or steam excape before removing

or replacing food. Hot air or steam which escapes can

cause burns to hands, face and!or eyes°

. Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. Foil is

an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it.

This will upset the performance of the drawer and it

could damage the interior_

(continued next page)

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

• Do not use the oven for a storage area_ Items stored

in the oven can ignite.

• 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.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

• Place the oven shelves in the desired position while

the oven is cool.

o Pulling out the shelf to the shelf-stop is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a

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 aluminum foil anywhere in the oven

except as described in this manual= Misuse c0urd

result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.

• Never use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.

Improper use of foil could start a fire.

= When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,

follow the manufacturer's directions_

• Use only glass cookware that is recommended for

use in gas ovens.

° Always remove broiler pan from the oven or 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_

o When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,

the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent

excessive flare-ups,.

• Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly to

reduce the possibility of grease fires°

• If you should have a grease fire in the broiler pan,

turn the oven off and keep the broiler compartment door

closed to contain fire until it burns out.

Self-Cleaning Oven

• Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is

essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not

to rub, damage or move 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 broiler pan,

broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from

the oven.

• Nickel oven shelves should be removed from the

oven before beginning the self-clean cycle,

• Gray porcelaimcoated oven shelves may be

cleaned in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting

the self-clean cycle.

• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the

oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have

it serviced by a qualified technician_

• Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Manual.

° Keep the range clean and free of accumulations of

grease or spitlovers, which may ignite.

Your range is

equipped with one

of the two types of

surface burners

shown at ]eft,

Lighting Instructions

Your surface burners are lighted by electronic 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+ Hold a lighted match

to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position.

Use extreme caution when lighting burners in this

manner.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure

occurs will continue to operate normally+

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed.. When

one burner is turned to L1TE, all the burners 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:

• The smaller burner (right rear position) will give

the best simmer resutts, tt offers precise cooking

performance for delicate foods, such as sauces or

foods which need to cook over low heat for a long

time. tt can be turned down to a very Iow simmer

setting.

o The right front burner is higher powered than the

others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker

(natural gas installations only).

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+

To Light a Surface Burner

Push the control knob in and

turn it to LITE. You will hear a

fittle cficking noise--the sound

of the electric spark igniting

the burner

After Lighting a Burner

° After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the

flame size.

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

you want to use.

• Do not operate a burner for extended periods of time

without having ceokware on the grate The finish on the

grate may cl_ip without cookware to absorb the heat°

• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you

place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other

materials on them.

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.

Surface Light

(on some models)

Use the switch on the control panel to turn the light

on and off.

(continued next page)

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended

because it heats quickly and eventy, Most foods brown

evenly in an aluminum skillet,. Use saucepans with tight-

fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give

satisfactory results,,

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel

of some cookware may melt, Follow cookware

manufacturer's recommendations for cooking methods.

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 conducts 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 manufacturer's

directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating

properties and is usually combined with copper,

aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution°

Combination metal skillets generally work satisfactorily if

used at medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Wok This Way

(on models with sealed burners)

We recommend that you use

a flat-bottomed wok. They

are available at your local

retail store,.

A traditional round bottom wok can be used with Wok

Holder accessory, model JXWK which can be ordered

from your appliance dealer. The Wok Holder fits on top

of the range grate to provide support and proper air

circulation for traditional round bottom woks only, Do

not use flat bottomed woks with the Wok Holder.

Do not use a wok on any

other support ring. 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 unless you are using

the Wok Holder, You could be seriously burned if the

wok tipped over

Stove Top Grills

(on models with sealed burners)

Do not use stove top gdlls

on your sealed gas burners,,

If you use the stove top grill

on the sealed gas burner it

will cause incomplete

combustion and can result

in exposure to carbon

monoxide levels above allowable current standards.

This can be hazardous to your health,

Before Using Your Oven

Be sure you understand how to set the control properly.

Practice removing and replacing the shelves while the

oven is cool. Read the information and tips on the

following pages° Keep this manual handy where you can

refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your

new range

Electronic Ignition

The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by

electronic ignition.

To light either burner, turn the Oven Set knob to the

desired temperature 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.

Power Outage

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the

electronic 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 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.

• The vent openings and nearby surfaces may

become hot. Do not touch them.

- 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

cooktopwthey may

melt if left too close

to the vent.

• Metal items will become

very hot if they are left on

the cooktop and could

cause burns.

Vent appearance and

location vary

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

air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will

increase pressure in dosed containers, which may

cause them to burst..

Oven Light

Use the switch on the control panel to turn the oven light

on and off,

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed

with stop-locks so, when

placed correctly on the

shelf supports, they will

stop before coming

completely 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 bump on the shelf support. 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 it

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 of shelf)

facing up and toward the rear of the oven Tilt up the front

and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it

goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the

front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

If oven shelves are difficult to remove or replace, wipe the

shelf edges or oven shelf supports with vegetable oil,.

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports

for baking and roasting--A ..

(bottom), B, C, D and E (top), It ==r,j_

also has a special low shelf

position (R) for roasting extra

large items, such as a _arge

turkey° The shelf is net designed

to slide out at this position. The

shelf positions for cooking are

suggested in the Baking,

Roasting and Broiling sections,

Automatic Oven Shut Off

As a safety feature, this oven will automatically shut

itself off after 12 hours. On models with touch pad clock

controls, this feature may be deactivated to allow the

oven to be left on for more than t2 hours..

To deactivate the Automatic Oven Shut-Off, press and

hold both the A and V MIN, pads for about 4 seconds°

The display will change from time of day to show "off",.

To reactivate the feature, press and hold both the A

and V MIN. pads for about 4 seconds, The display

wilt change from time of day to show "on".

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 giass. These droplets are harmless and wilt

evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

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 oven control system it is recommended that

you operate the oven for a number of weeks to become

familiar with your new oven's performance, tf you think

an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven

Thermostat section°

How to Set Your Range for Baking

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the

correct position before you turn the oven on.

1oClose the oven door. Turn the Oven Set knob to

the temperature you desire.

2. Check the food for aloneness at the minimum time on

the recipe.. Cook longer if necessary..

3, Turn the Oven Set knob to OFF and then remove

the food1

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 middle of the

oven, on either shelf position B or C..See the following

chart for suggested shelf positions.

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means

bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before

putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at

the correct temperature--selecting a higher temperature

does not shorten preheat time.

Preheating is necessary for good results wl4en baking

cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles

and roasts, preheating is not necessary For ovens without

a preheat indicator lightor tone, preheat 10 minutes..After

the oven is preheated place the food in the oven as quickly

as possible to prevent heat from escaping.

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.

• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning Cakes and cookies

require this type of pan..

• Glass baking dishes afso absorb heat. When baking in

glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be

reduced by 25°F (13°C)o

, If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find that

you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F (13°C)

to prevent over-browning.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be

enough room for air circulation in the oven.. Baking results

wilt 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 walls of the

oven. Allow 1- to 11/_-inch(2.5- to 4-cm) space between

pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and

the sides. If you need to 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,

(continued next page)

Baking (continued)

When baking cookies, flat

cookie sheets (without

sides) produce better-

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 ovem

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 crust. 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 it.

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

recommended will usually be crisper, thinner and

drier than itshould beo If baked in a pan smaller than

recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may

overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size

used isthe one recommended°

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil,

Never entirely cover a

shelf with aluminum foil.

This will disturb the heat

circulation and result in

poor baking. A smaller

sheet of foil may be used

to catch a spitlover by

placing it on a Iower

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 cooking allows

heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your

baking results may also be affected.

Timed Baking (on some models)

How to Time Bake

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during timed

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

The oven controt allows you to turn the oven on or off

automatically at specific times that you set. Examples of

Immediate Start (oven turns on now and you set it to turn

off automatically) and Delay Start and Stop (setting the

oven to turn on automatically at a later time, cook for a

preset amount of time and then turn off automatically)

will be described..

NOTE: Before beginning, make sure the oven clock

shows the correct time of day.

To set the clock, first press the CLOCK pad°

Then press the HOUR and MIN. pads until the

correct time of day is displayed,.

5, When the oven automatically turns off the AUTOMATIC

OVEN light will flash and the oven wil! signal Turn the

Oven Set knob to OFF to stop the flashes and signal.

6, Remove the food from the oven. Remember, foods that

are left in the oven continue cooking after the controls

are off.

NOTE: Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,

stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to sit

for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room

temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the

bulb witl speed harmful bacteria growth.

The oven is now set to start at 4:00 and cook for

3 hours at a temperature of 325°F (163°C)., At the

end of the 3 hour cooking time (7:00), the oven wilt

automatically turn off. When the oven automatically

turns off the AUTOMATIC OVEN light will flash and

the oven will signal. Turn the Oven Set knob to OFF

to stop the flashes and signal,

6. Remove the food from the oven. Remember, even

though the oven shuts off automatically, foods continue

cooking after controls are off,

NOTE:

• The low temperature zone of this range (between

WARM and 200°F [93°C]) is available to keep hot

cooked foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than

two hours at these low temperatures may spoil.

- Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,

stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to sit

for more than one hour before or after cooking. Room

temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the

bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

Questions and Answers

Q, Can I use the minute timer during oven cooking?

A. The minute timer can be used during any

cooking function.

Q. Can ! change the time of day on the clock while

I'm Time Baking in the oven?

A. The time of day on the clock should not be changed

during any timed program,, You must either stop those

programs or wait until they are finished before

changing the time,,

Adjust the Oven Thermostat m

Do It Yourself !

You may find that your new oven cooks differently

than the one it replaced, We recommend that you use

your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar

with it, following the times given in your recipes as a

guide.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you

can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think it is too

hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler.. If you think it

is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make it hotter

We do not recommend the use of thermometers,

such as those found in grocery stores, to check the

temperature setting of your new oven. These

thermometers may vary 20-40°F (11-22°C)

To Adjust the Thermostat:

1o Put the Oven Set knob in the OFF position.

(_ 2. Press and hold the HOUR increase and the

HOUR decrease pads at the same time for

5 seconds until the display changes..

HOUR

3. Immediately, before display changes back, press

the HOUR increase or decrease pad to increase or

decrease the temperature in 5 degree increments.

The oven temperature can be increased up to 35°F

(19°C) hotter or decreased 35°F (19°C) cooler.

tf the oven adjustment is set cooler than the factory

setting a minus sign "-" and the new temperature will

appear in the display.

4. Wait several seconds for the control to automatically

The Type of Margarine Will Affect Baking

Performance

Most recipes for baking have been developed

using high fat products such as butter or margarine

(80% fat),. If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not

give the same results as with a higher fat product,

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies

or candies are made with low fat spreads_ The !ower the

fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable

these differences become_

Federal standards require products labeled "margarine"

to contain at least 80% fat by weight, Low fat spreads, on

the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high

moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and

flavor of baked goods. For best results with your oFd

favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads

containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

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 poultry

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 position (R) just above

the oven bottom. Use it when

extra cooking space is

needed, for exampte, when

roasting a large turkey. The

shelf is not designed to slide

out at this position,.

Roasting is really a baking

procedure used for meats,.

Therefore, the oven controls are set for Baking.

(You may hear a slight clicking sound indicating

the oven is working properly.)

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing after

being removed from the oven. Recommended standing

time for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows the roasts

to firm up and makes them easier to carve,. The internal

temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F (3° to 6°C)_ If you

wish to compensate for the temperature rise, remove the

roast from the oven when its internal temperature is 5° to

10°F (3° to 6°C) less than the temperature shown in the

Roasting Guide..

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven

and therefore should be removed when the desired

internal temperature has been reached,

1, Position oven shelf at

position B for small size

roast (3 to 5 ibs.[t,3 to

2.3 kg]) and at position R

for larger roasts,

2. Check the weight of the

meat,. Place the meat

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

grid in a shallow pan,. The melting fat will baste the

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

as possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan

for this..)

3. Turn the Oven Set knob to the desired temperature°

See the Roasting Guide for temperatures and

approximate cooking times.

4, When roasting is finished, turn the Oven Set knob to

OFF and then remove the food from the oven.

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same

time,, For example: While roasting a 20-tb,. (t0 kg) turkey

on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped) may

be added on position D so that an additional food such as

scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time,,

Foods cooked with the turkey should be added toward

the end of the time allowed for the turkey,, For example,

potatoes which cook for t hour should be added to the

oven 1 hour before the end of cooking time for the turkey.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil

to line the broiler pan_ This

makes clean up easier

when using the pan for

marinating, cooking with

fruits, cooking heavily

cured meats or basting

food during cooking. Press

the foil tightly around the

inside of the pan.

J -r'l"

Frozen Roasts

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

without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes per pound

(450 grams) additional time (15 minutes per pound

for roasts under 5 pounds [2°3 kg], more time for

larger roasts).

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting. Unthawed

poultry often does not cook evenly° Some commercial frozen

poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing,. Follow

the directions given on the package label.

Broiling

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during

broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning onlyo

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the

food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled.

Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking

to a minimum.

It is recommended that meat be cooked to at least an

INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71°C) and poultry to

at teast an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F (82°C),

Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodborne illness.,

The oven door should be closed during broiling.

Turn the food only once

during cooking. ]]me

the foods for the first

side according to the

Broiling Guide.

Turn the food, then use

the times given for the

second side as a guide to

the preferred doneness.

1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2" (5 cm) apart.

If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer

about I/e" (3 mm) thick.

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

which comes with the range. Always use the grid so fat

drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may

become hot enough to catch fire°

3. Position the 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 operation

the door may lock and you may not be able to open

it until the oven cools°

5. Turn the Oven Set knob to BROIL.

6. When broiling is finished, turn the Oven Set knob to

OFE Remove the broiler pan from the range and serve

the food immediately Leave the pan outside the range

to coo!,

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil

to line your broiler pan and

broiler grid, However, you

must mold the foil tightly to

the grid and cut slits in it

just like the grid

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 grid

in the pan?

A. Yes, Using the grid suspends the meat over the pan

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

keeping the meat drier, Juices are protected by the

grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter

and smoking,

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?

Ao No, Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate. Always salt after cooking Turn the meat

with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also allows

the 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 the longest period of time

indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only

once during broiling,

Broiling Guide

The oven door must be closed during broiling.

• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with

your range, It is designed to minimize smoking and

spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part

of the pan

° For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside

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 the meat and losing

juices,,

• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling,

Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only,

• When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty edges

hang over the sides because dripping fat could soil the

oven

The broiler does not need to be preheated, However,

for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if

desired.

• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the

broiler pan and grid at next lowest shelf position and

increasing cooking time given in this guide 1_/_times

to the food needing the highest setting.

• The temperature, type and amount of food, and the time

held will affect the quality of the food.

• Food in heat-safe giass and glass-ceramic utensils may

need a higher thermostat setting as compared to food in

metal utensils°

• Repeated opening of the drawer allows the hot air to

escape and the food to coot.

• Allow extra time for the temperature inside the drawer

to stabilize after adding items.

• With large foads it may be necessary to use a higher

thermostat setting and cover some of the cooked

food items.

• Do not use plastic containers or plastic wraF

CAUTION: Do not keep food in the warming drawer

for more than two hours.

To Crisp Stale Items

• Place food in low-sided dishes or pans,.

• Preheat on LO setting,,

° Check crispness after 45 minutes, Add time as needed.

CAUTION: Dishes will be hot. Use pot holders or

mitts when removing hot dishes.

Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven

Normal Cleaning Time: 4 hours and 20 minutes

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting with an open window or using a

ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle°

1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware

and any aluminum foil from the oven--they cannot

withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE:

• If your oven is equipped with nickel oven shelves,

remove them before you begin the self-clean cycle.

• If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-coated

oven shelves, they may be left in the oven during the

self-clean cycle.

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

soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to

prevent staining°

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the

top, sides and outside front of the oven door with soap

and water.

Make sure the oven lightbulb cover is in place.

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

material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance

to abrasion. An intact, welt-fitting oven door gasket is

essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good

baking results. If 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 the oven door and make sure the oven light

is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of the

bulb wilt be shortened or it may burn out immediately.

CAUTION: The grates and drip pans (on some

models) 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 health of some birds is extremely

sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning

cycle of any range. Move birds to another welFventilated

room,

3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and

the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened

cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door outside

the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-clean cycle.

On these areas, use detergent and hot water or a

soap-filled pad. Rinse welt with a vinegar and water

local codes. See Electrical Connections in this section.

Before installing your range on linoleum or any other

synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering

can withstand 180°F (82°C) without shrinking, warping

or discoloring. Do net install the range over carpeting

unless a sheet of 1/4"(6 ram) thick plywood or similar

insulator is placed between the range and carpeting.

Make sure the wall coverings around the range

can withstand heat generated by the range up to

200°F (93°0)..

Avoid placing cabinets above the range° To reduce the

hazard caused by reaching over the open flames of

operating burners, install a ventilation hood over the

range that projects forward at least 5" (I2.7 cm)

beyond the front of the cabinets.

• The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet

metal not less than 0.0122" (..3t ram) thick. Install

above the cooking top with a clearance of not less than

t/4"(6 mm) 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 centered over

the appliance.. Clearance between the cooking surface

and the ventilation hood surface MUST NEVER BE

LESS THAN 24" (61 cm).

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or

cooking appliance over the cooktop shalt conform to

the installation instructions packed with that appliance°

• If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a

minimum clearance of 30" (762 cm) between

the cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected

cabinets.

If a 30" (76,2 cm) clearance between cooking surface

and overhead combustible material or metal cabinets

cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the

cabinets above the cooktop with not less than V4"

(6 ram) insulating miflboard covered with sheet metal

not less than Q.0122" (.31 ram) thick.

Clearance between the cooking surface and protected

surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets

extending closer than 1" (2.5 cm) to the plane of the

range sides must not be tess than 18" (45.7 cm)..

(See the Dimensions and Clearances illustration in

this section.)

CAUTION: Items of interest to children

should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on

the backsplash of a range--children climbing on the

range to reach items could be seriously injured,

WARNING

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range,

attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the

wall and floor.. (See Installing the Anti-Tip

Device in this section)

To check if the device is installed and

engaged properly, remove the storage

drawer, broiler drawer, or WARM-N-

READY drawer and inspect the rear

leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely

into the slot..

If you pull the range out from the wall for

any reason, make sure the Anti-T_p

device is engaged when you push the range back against

the wall

• 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 grate. Such abuse

could result in fire and damage to your range and will

void your warranty.

• 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.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials

accumulate in or near the range.

GENERAL

• See the Dimensions and Clearances illustration in this

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,

• The range may be placed with 0" (0 cm) 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 carpeting

or woodwork.

PROTECT YOUR FLOOR

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy

and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned

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 will 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, WARM-N-READY

drawer, or kick panel.

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

• Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers

o Pencil and ruler

• Two pipe wrenches (one for backup)

o Open-end or adjustable wrench

• Nut drivers or wrenches: 3/1_"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 (W" I.D..).

A 5-foot (1.5 m) length is recommended for ease of

installation but other lengths are acceptable. Never use

an old connector when installing a new range.

• Flare union adapter for connection to gas supply line

(3/4"or 1/2"NPT x 1A"1.D.)

• Flare union adapter for connection to pressure regulator

on range (W' NPT x 1/2"I.D)

•Teflon: Registeredtrademark of DuPont

(continued next page)

PREPARATION

• Remove al_tape and packaging° Lift up the cooktop

(on models with standard twin burners) and remove

any packing material under it, Make sure the standard

twin burners are proper_y 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 1

Provide Adequate Gas Supply

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4"

(10o2 cm) of water column on natural gas or, if designed

for LP gas (propane or butane), 10" (25.4 cm) of water

column. Make sure you are supplying your range with

the type of gas for which it is designed. This range is

convertible for use on natural or propane gas. If you

decide to use this range on LP gas, conversion must

be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting

to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied

to the regulator must be between 4" (10..2 cm) and 13"

(33 cm) of water column.. For LP gas, the pressure

supplied must be between 10" (25.4 cm) and 13" (33 cm)

of water column° When checking for proper operation of

the regufator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1" (2.5 cm)

greater than the operating (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 appliance connector used to connect the

range to the gas supply line should have an I..D.of 1/2"

and be 5 feet (1.5 m) in length for ease of installation°

In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal

connectors no longer than 6 feet (1.8 m) in length.

Connect the Range to Gas

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting

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 A.GA.-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., tf 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, use pipe joint compound or

wrap Teflon* pipe thread tape around all male (external)

pipe threads_

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. Install male W' flare union adapter to the W' NPT

internal thread elbow at inlet of pressure regulator. Qn

models equipped with standard twin burners, install the

male pipe thread end of the 1/2"flare union adapter to

the 1A" NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure

regulator. Use a back-up 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 3A"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

connection 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 detector at all

joints and connections to check for leaks in the system..

CAUTION: DoNOTUSEAFLAMETo

CHECKFORGASLEAKS.

]

When using test pressures greater than 1/_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 pressures of _A

psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate

the range from the gas supply system by closing the

individual shut-off valve.

STEP 3

Electrical Connections

(on some models)

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 standard

three-prong grounding

wall receptacle to

minimize the possibility of

electric shock hazard

from this appliance..

PREFERRED

METHOD

The customer should have the wall receptacle and

circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure

the receptacle is properly grounded°

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the 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.

A: Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord

Wilt Be Disconnected Infrequently,

TEMPORARYMETHOD

(Adapter plugs not

permitted in Canada) -_-.-._._,_',_

Aflgn largeprongs/sfots<._ _ I

\ t )/z _ Ensure proper ground

\ //| and firm connection

before use

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 wal! 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 receptacle to provide proper polarity

in the connection of the power cord.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground

terminal to the wail 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 Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because

disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on

the adapter and leads to eventuat failure of the adapter

ground terminal, The customer should have the two-prong

wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding)

receptacle by a qualified 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, latest edition

(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups),

ANSI A225ol, latest edition, or with local codes. In

Canada, mobile home installation must be in accordance

with the current CAN/CSA Z240/Mtl Mobile Home

Installation Code.

Electric Disconnect

1. Locate disconnect plug on the range back.

2. Pinch sides of connector and pull out of range back.

You will have this disconnect plug:

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.

(continued next page)

STEP 5

Check Ignition of Surface Burners

Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be

checked after the range and gas supply lines have been

carefully checked for leaks

Electronic Ignition Models

Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in and

turn to LITE positiono You will hear a snapping sound

indicating proper operation of the spark modufe. 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) Yellow tips on outer

cones--Normal for

LP gas

STEP 6

Check Ignition of Oven Burner

Your oven is designed to operate quietly and

automatically. To operate the oven, turn the OVEN SET

knob to a setting above 300°F (149°C)._After 30-90

seconds, the oven burner will ignite and burn until the set

temperature is reached, The oven burner will continue to

cycle on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the

temperature indicated by the OVEN SET knob..

To check ignition of the broil burner, turn the OVEN SET

knob to BROIL,. After 30-90 seconds, the broil burner

will ignite.

Electric ignition models require electrical power to

operate. In case of a power outage, the oven burners

on these models cannot be lit manually with a match°

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.

STEP 7

Adjust Broil and Oven Burner Air

Adjustment Shutters if Necessary

Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burners

regulate the flow of air to the flames,

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.

With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is

normal..

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

the center of the rear wall of the oven_

The flames for the top 3roil) burner should burn steady

with approximately 1" blue cones and should not extend

out over the edges of the burner baffle.

To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning

properly, remove the oven bottom_ 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 yellow tips at the end of outer cones

are normal,) Flames should not lift off burner ports° If

lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter opening

until flames are stabilized.

To remove the oven bottom:

1. Remove the knuded 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 of the range frame, push it back, and then pull

it up and out,.

STEP 8

Leveling the Range

1. Install the oven shelves

in the oven, then position

the range where itwill be

installed,

2. Check for levelness by

placing a spirit level or a

partially fiiled 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.
