(Example: START TIME is selected with BAKE—the START TIME pad will remain lit until the clock reaches the programmed time, at which point it will turn off and the BAKE/TEMP RECALL pad light will light up).

Control Lockout

Your control will allow you to lock out the touch pads so they cannot be activated when touched.

To lock/unlock the controls:

  1. Touch the + and – pads at the same time for 3 seconds, until the display shows LOC ON.
  2. To unlock the control, touch the + and – pads at the same time for 3 seconds, until the display shows LOC OFF.

When this feature is on and the touch pads are touched, the control will beep and the display will show LOC ON.

  • The control lockout mode affects all touch pads. No touch pads will work when this feature is activated.
  • The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Power Outage

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the electric ignition oven during an electrical power failure.

The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This is because the flow of gas is automatically stopped and will not resume when power is restored until the glow bar has reached operating temperature.

If a flashing time is in the display, electric power has been restored. Reset the clock.

If your oven was set for a timed oven operation and a power outage occurred, the clock and all programmed functions must be reset.

To reset the clock, touch the CLOCK pad. Enter the correct time of day by touching the + or – pads. Touch the START/ON pad.

Using the oven

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin…

The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops.

The bake burner is under the oven floor. Do not place foods on the oven bottom for cooking.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the rack (stoplocks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.

CAUTION: When you are using the rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the lowest position (A).

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

1. Touch the BAKE pad.

2. Touch the + or – pads until the desired temperature is displayed.

3. Touch the START/ON pad.

The oven will start automatically. The display will show “PrE” while preheating. When the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven control will beep several times and the display will show the oven temperature.

To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, touch the BAKE pad and then the + or – pads to get the new temperature.

4. Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

5. Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when baking is finished and then remove the food from the oven.

NOTE: A cooling fan will automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven in turned off.

If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack B and two layers on rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. The preheat time will vary depending on the temperature setting.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1” to 11⁄2” of air space around it.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil 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 Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up

Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through the rear vent located through the cooktop under the vent grille. Do not block this vent when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation—they may become hot.

  • Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.
  • Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—they may melt if left too close to the vent.
  • Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.
  • Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

IMPORTANT: To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

1. Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a broiler pan designed for broiling.

2. Follow suggested rack positions in the Broiling Guide.

3. The oven door must be closed during broiling.

4. Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil.

To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again.

Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.

5. Touch the START/ON pad.

6. When broiling is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

Serve the food immediately, and leave the pan outside the oven to cool during the meal for easiest cleaning.

Using the clock and timer

Not all features are on all models.

Using the self-cleaning oven.

Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

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.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

Follow the directions in the Before a Clean Cycle section.

1. Latch the door.

2. Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.

3. Touch the + or – pads until the desired Clean Time is displayed.

The Clean Time is normally 4 hours. You can change the Clean Time to any time between 3 and 5 hours, depending on the amount of soil in your oven.

4. Touch the START/ON pad.

The self-clean cycle will automatically begin after CLEAN is displayed and the time countdown appears in the display.

While the oven is self-cleaning, you can touch the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, touch the SELF CLEAN pad.

The oven shuts off automatically when the clean cycle is complete, and 0:00 will flash in the display.

5. Slide the latch handle to the left as far as it will go and open the door.

It will not be possible to unlatch the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the clean light goes off.

When the clean light is off, unlatch the door.

How to Delay the Start of Cleaning

Make sure the clock shows the correct time of day.

1. Latch the door.

2. Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.

3. Using the + or – pads, enter the desired clean time.

The Clean Time is normally 4 hours. You can change the Clean Time to any time between 3 and 5 hours, depending on the amount of soil in your oven.

4. Touch the START TIME pad. The earliest start time you can set will appear in the display.

5. Using the + or – pads, enter the time of day you want the clean cycle to start.

6. Touch the START/ON pad.

The display will show the start time set time. It will not be possible to unlatch the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the clean light goes off.

When the clean light is off, unlatch the door.

To Stop a Clean Cycle

Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

Wait until the oven has cooled below the locking temperature to unlatch the door. You will not be able to open the door right away unless the oven has cooled below the locking temperature.

After a Clean Cycle

You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

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

  • You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to be unlatched.
  • While the oven is self-cleaning, you can touch the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, touch the COOKING TIME pad.
  • Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper towel. Do not spray with Pam® or other lubricant sprays.

Care and cleaning of the range.

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

WARNING: If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning.

The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing.

Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.

Oven Light Bulbs (if included)

NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only when cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely

For your safety, do not touch a hot bulb with bare hands or a damp cloth.

To remove:

  1. Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the socket.
  2. Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.

To replace:

  1. Use a new 130-volt halogen bulb, not to exceed 50 watts.
  2. Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb from its packaging. Do not touch the bulb with bare fingers.

3. Push the bulb straight into the receptacle all the way.

4. Place the tabs of the glass cover into the grooves of the socket. Turn the glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn to engage.

For improved lighting inside the oven, clean the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth. This should be done when the oven is completely cool.

5. Reconnect electrical power to the oven.

Cleaning the Oven Door

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.

To clean the inside of the door:

  • Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand.
  • The area outside the gasket and the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

  • Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.
  • If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
  • Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
  • Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The door is very heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door.

Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door:

1. Fully open the door.

2. Pull the hinge locks down toward the door frame, to the unlocked position. A tool, such as a small flat-blade screwdriver, may be required.

3. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top.

4. Close door to the door removal position, which is halfway between the broil stop position and fully closed.

5. Lift door up and out until the hinge arm is clear of the slot.

To replace the door:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top.

2. With the door at the same angle as the removal position, seat the indentation of the hinge arm into the bottom edge of the hinge slot. The notch in the hinge arm must be fully seated into the bottom of the slot.

3. Fully open the door. If the door will not fully open, the indentation is not seated correctly in the bottom edge of the slot.

4. Push the hinge locks up against the front frame of the oven cavity to the locked position.

5. Close the oven door.

#1 Where should returned, damaged, or unneeded parts and accessories be shipped?
In order to return damaged or unneeded parts, you need to complete the online returns process and get a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number. Through this process, you will be given instructions on how to return the item, including the return shipping address. A RMA number is required for a return and must be visible on the return package or the return will not be processed.

#2 What is the warranty for parts and accessories?
All parts and accessories have a limited one-year warranty, with the exception of water filters, which have a 30-day warranty. If your part fails because of a manufacturing defect within one year from the date of original purchase, we will provide a new or, at our option, rebuilt part without charge. Return the defective part to the vendor from whom it was purchased with a copy of the "proof of purchase." If the part is defective it will be exchanged.
This warranty does not cover parts which are improperly installed, damaged, abused or used for other than the intended purpose. It does not include cost of returning the part to the vendor from which it was purchased, labor to remove, install or diagnose the failure, parts used in commercial applications, incidental or consequential damage caused by possible defects with the parts.
EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES - Your sole and exclusive remedy is part exchange as provided in this Limited Warranty. Any implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to one year or the shortest period allowed by law.

#3 How do I return a part or accessory and get a replacement?
Returning a Part
- If you ordered a part online that you would like to return, please start by requesting a Return Materials Authorization (RMA). Once you complete and submit the return form, you will receive a confirmation email within approximately 20 minutes. Print the shipping label included in the email and attach to the outside of your package. The label contains the RMA number and correct warehouse address for your return. To receive credit for returned part and accessories, all items must be in sellable condition. Please allow one billing cycle for your refund to be processed.
Parts and accessories
- May be returned for credit within 30 days from the date the part or accessory was shipped to you from our warehouse. The part or accessory may be returned for a $15 re-stocking fee between 31 and 90 days from shipment. After 90 days the part or accessory may not be returned.
Return Shipping
- We do not cover the cost of return shipping, but if the reason for the return is determined to be our error, we will refund the shipping cost of your original order.
Need to Exchange?
- If you're looking to exchange a part or accessory you purchased, complete the returns process for the current item and place a new order for the item you need.
