Oven Racks
Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow.
Your Oven may have extension racks and/or traditional flat racks.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
CAUTION Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
Oven Cooking Modes
Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods.
Bake
The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from the upper element to cook food. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start.
Convection Bake
This mode is intended for single rack baking when additional airflow is desired to enhance evenness. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Bake pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then press Start.
Convection Roast
This mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. The utilization of all three elements and direct airflow down from the top of the oven improves browning and reduces cooking time. Check food earlier than the recipe suggests when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Roast pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then press Start.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 is not recommended.
Broiling can be used for foods that would typically be grilled.
Adjust the rack position in order to vary the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior are desired. For best performance center the food below the broil heating element.
Press the Broil pad twice for High or once for Low depending on the amount of searing and the internal temperature that is preferred. The High setting is best for thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. The Low setting is preferred for thicker cuts of meat and foods you liket o be cooked all the way through. It is not necessary to preheat the oven for these modes. Then press Start.
Air Fry
Air Fry is a special, no-preheat, cooking mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. The Air Fry mode is intended for single rack cooking only. Select Air Fry, then input the desired set temperature and press Start. The temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F. Preheating is not recommended for this mode. Follow traditional oven recipe or package guidelines for set temperatures and cook times; adjust cook time to achieve your desired crispness. Additional guidelines for using this mode can be found in the Cooking Guide.
Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods at a higher temperature for up to 3 hours. Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips, or dry cereal. It is also recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. Press the Warm pad and then press Start
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to keep cool and operate properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range.
Oven Cooking Guide
Oven Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25°F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is recommended to preheat this type of cookware if possible. Additional cook time may be required.
Cookware used in broil modes and air fry must be broilsafe.
CARE AND CLEANING
Range – Exterior
Control Lockout
If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning.
See Lock Controls in the Oven Controls section in this manual.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
You may also use a glass cleaner.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind.
Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish, including Black Stainless Steel.
Oven Exterior
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the door, top of control panel and the drawer front. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface, including Black Stainless Steel.
Stainless Steel excluding Black Stainless Steel (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.
Range – Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, or scouring pads on the interior of the oven. For soils on the oven bottom and other enameled surfaces, use a gentle abrasive containing oxalic acid, such as Bar Keepers Friend®, with a non-scratch sponge. Take care not to apply any abrasive cleaners or sponges to the door glass, as it will scratch the reflective coating. The oven interior and door glass may be cleaned using a soft cloth with a mild soap and water, or vinegar and water solution. After cleaning, rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Steam Clean Mode (on some models)
The Steam Clean feature is for cleaning light soil from your oven at a lower temperature than Self Clean.

Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual before using the Self Clean Mode. Self Clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven interior. For a moderately soiled oven, run a 3 hour self-clean cycle. For a heavily soiled oven, run a 5 hour self-clean cycle. Only self-clean (black) racks and grates may remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. All other items, including nickel plated (silver) racks, should be removed. If nickel plated (silver) racks are left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, the racks will tarnish. If either type of rack is left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, the rack may become difficult to slide. See the Oven Racks section for instructions on how to improve.
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 well-ventilated room.
To use the Self Clean feature:
- Start with the oven at room temperature.
- Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven and interior door.
- Remove all items other than self-clean (black) racks and grates, if desired. See Cleaning the Cooktop to determine if your grates may be selfcleaned and for important details regarding grate placement.
- Close the door.
- Press the Clean pad, select Self Clean and then press Start.
You cannot open the door during the self-clean cycle. The door will remain locked after the self-clean cycle until the oven cools below the unlocking temperature. At the end of the self-clean cycle, allow the oven to cool and wipe any ash out of the oven.
Racks
All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water. Enameled (not shiny) racks can be left in the cavity during self clean.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
Removal of Surface Burners for Cleaning
Turn all controls OFF. Allow cooktop to cool before removing grates and burner parts. When removing the burner caps and heads, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning.
CAUTION Do not attempt to remove oval burner cap from the burner heads.
Cleaning the Surface Burners
Cleaning the Burner Caps
Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. The round burner caps may also be cleaned in your dishwasher.
Cleaning the Burner Heads
Wash the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers which could clog the burner openings. Lift burners off when cool. Wash with hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean water. For more stubborn stains, use a brush with plastic bristles.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring pads to clean the burner parts as these may clog the openings. Never wash burner heads in your dishwasher as dishwasher. Doing so may cause them to discolor.
The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.
Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow the burner to operate properly
Replacing Surface Burners
Before replacing the burner caps, heads and oval head/ cap assembly, shake out excess water and allow them to dry thoroughly.
Replace burner heads in the correct locations according to size. Ensure each cap is properly seated on the burner head, as pictured below.
CAUTION Do not operate the cooktop without all burner parts and grates in place.
Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Avoid hitting the electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged.
Door and Drawer
Cleaning the Oven Door
Cleaning the Door Interior
Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots in the door.
Wipe dish soap over any baked-on spatters on the glass. Use a single sided safety razor blade to clean it off. Then wipe over the glass with a soapy cloth to remove any residue and dry off.
The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soapfilled plastic scouring pad. Do not rub or clean the door gasket - it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.
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.
Cleaning the Door Exterior
If a stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. Do not use this method on any other surface.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.
Removable Storage Drawer (on some models)
Most cleaning can be done with the drawer in place. However, the drawer may be removed if further cleaning is needed. Use soap and warm water to thoroughly clean.
To remove the drawer:
1. Pull drawer straight out until it stops.
2. Press the left rail release up and press the right rail release down, while pulling the drawer forward and free.
To replace the drawer:
1. Place the left drawer rail around the inner left rail guide and slide it in slightly to hook it.
2. Place the right drawer rail around the inner right rail guide and slide it in slightly to hook it.
3. Slide the drawer all the way in.
Removable Storage Drawer (on some models)
The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics or flammable material in the drawer.
The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under the range. Clean the storage drawer with a damp cloth or sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or scouring pads.
Removing the Storage Drawer:
- Pull drawer straight out until it stops.
- Tilt the front of the drawer upward and pull the drawer free of the range.
Replacing the Storage Drawer:
- Rest the drawer slides on the range stops.
- Push directly backward until the drawer drops into place.
- Slide the drawer all the way into the oven.
Troubleshooting Tips
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.
| Problem | Possible Cause | What To Do |
| My new oven doesn't cook like my old one. Is something wrong with the temperature settings? | Your new oven has a different cooking system from your old oven and therefore may cook differently than your old oven. | For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully and use rack positions recommended in the Cooking Guide. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking preference. See the Settings section. |
| Food does not bake properly | Oven controls improperly set. | See the Cooking Modes section. |
| Rack position is incorrect or rack is not level. | See the Cooking Modes section and Cooking Guide. | |
| Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper size being used. | See the Cookware section. | |
| Oven temperature needs adjustment. | See the Settings section | |
| Food does not broil properly | Oven controls improperly set. | Make sure you select the appropriate broil mode. |
| Improper rack position being used. | See Cooking Guide for rack location suggestions. | |
| Cookware not suited for broiling. | Use a pan specifically designed for broiling. | |
| Aluminum foil on the broil pan has not been fitted properly or slit to drain grease. | If using aluminum foil on broil pan, wrap tightly and add slits conforming to those in the pan to allow grease to drain. | |
| Oven temperature too hot or too cold | Oven temperature needs adjustment. | See the Oven Controls section. |
| Oven and/or display appears not to work | A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. | Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. |
| Oven controls improperly set. | See the Using the Oven section. | |
| Oven is in Sabbath Mode. | Verify, that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode. See the Sabbath Mode section. | |
| The clock is turned off. | See the Settings section. | |
| “Crackling” or “popping” sound | This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions. | This is normal. |
| Why is my range making a "clicking" noise when using my oven? | Your range has been designed to maintain a tighter control over your oven's temperature. You may hear your oven's heating elements "click" on and off more frequently than in older ovens to achieve better results during baking, broiling, and self-clean cycles. | This is normal. |
| Sometimes the oven takes longer to preheat to the same temperature | Cookware, food, and/or number of racks in oven. | Cookware, food, and racks in the oven will cause differences in preheat times. Remove excess items to reduce preheat time. |
| Oven light does not work | Light bulb is loose or defective. | Tighten or replace bulb. See the Maintenance section for instructions on how to replace the bulb. |
| Oven will not self-clean | The temperature is too high to set a self-clean operation. | Allow the oven to cool and reset the controls. |
| Oven controls improperly set. | See the Cleaning the Oven section. | |
| Excessive smoking during clean cycle | Excessive soil or grease. | Press the Cancel/Off pad. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait until the LOCKED light goes off. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle. |
| Oven not clean after a clean cycle | Oven controls improperly set. | See the Cleaning the Oven section. |
| Oven was heavily soiled. | Clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean again or for a longer period of time. | |
| Strong “burning” or “oily” odor emitting from the vent | This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in time. | To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the Cleaning the Oven section. This is temporary. |
| Excessive smoking during broiling | Food too close to burner element. | Lower the rack position of the food. |
| Oven door will not open or LOCKED light is on when you want to cook. | The oven door is locked because the temperature inside the oven has not dropped below the locking temperature. | Press the Cancel/Off pad. Allow the oven to cool below the locking temperature. |
| "LOCK DOOR" flashes in the display | The self-clean cycle has been selected but the door is not closed. | The self-clean cycle has been selected but the door is not closed. |
| “F— and a number or letter” flash in the display | You have a function error code. | Press the Cancel/Off pad. Allow the oven to cool for one hour. Put the oven back into operation. If the function code repeats, disconnect all power to the oven for at least 30 seconds and then reconnect power. If the function error code repeats again, call for service. |
| Power outage, clock flashes | Power outage or surge | Reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset it by pressing the Cancel/Off pad, setting the clock and resetting any cooking function. |
| Lock Controls or Control Lockout feature is activated | If LOC ON appears in the display, the range control is locked. Turn this feature off to use the range. See the Lock Control feature in the Oven Controls section. | |
| Burners do not light | Plug on range is not completely inserted in the electrical outlet. | Make sure electrical plug is plugged into a live, properly grounded outlet. |
| Gas supply not connected or turned on. | See the Installation Instructions that came with your range. | |
| A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. | Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. | |
| Burner parts not replaced correctly. | See the Care and Cleaning of the range section. | |
| Burner slots near the electrode, or the round lighter port on the oval burner, may be clogged. | Remove the burners and clean them. Check the electrode area for burned-on food or grease. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section. | |
| Food residue on electrode | Lightly polish flat tip of electrode with nail file or sandpaper until shiny. | |
| Top burners do not burn evenly | Improper burner assembly. | Make sure the burner caps are seated correctly. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section. |
| Burner slots on the side of the burner may be clogged. | Remove the burners for cleaning. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section. | |
| Burner flames are very large or yellow | Improper air to gas ratio. | If range is connected to Propane gas, contact the technician who installed your range or made the conversion. |
| Surface burners light but bake and broil burners do not. | Gas to the oven burners may have been shut off. |
The oven gas shut-off is located on the gas regulator near the gas line attachment to your range. Locate it and flip the lever.
|
| My oven door glass appears to be "tinted" or have a "rainbow" color. | The inner oven glass is coated with a heat barrier to reflect the heat back into the oven to prevent heat loss and keep the outer door cool while baking. | This is normal. Under certain light or angles, you may see this tint or rainbow color. |
| Drawer does not slide smoothly or drags | The drawer is out of alignment. | Fully extend the drawer and push it all the way in. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section. |
| Drawer is over-loaded or load is unbalanced. | Reduce weight or redistribute drawer contents. |
