SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can 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 by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Fluorescent light bulbs 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.

■Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent pilot
outage (on standing pilot models) and poor
air circulation.
■Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the range before operating it to
prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packaging material ignite.
■Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or 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 of
the range
section.
■
WARNING:
These adjustments must
be made by a qualified service technician
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.
■After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such type
of use. Never install it directly over interior
kitchen carpeting.
■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 oven door, storage drawer, warming
drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
■
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.
■For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited
if brought in contact with flame or hot oven
surfaces and may cause severe burns.
■Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range storage drawer, a warming
drawer or near a 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.
■Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
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.
■Flaming 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 or warming drawer can be
smothered completely by closing the oven
door or drawer and turning the control to
off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving them
where children can reach them.
■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 at the rear of the
cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven
door, and at the bottom of the range under
the warming drawer, storage drawer or
kick panel.
■Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
or cooktops can lead to broken or
shattered glass.

Safety InstructionsInstallation InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsConsumer Support
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain
the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since
heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped
and remain cool.
■Always use the
LITE
position (on electric
ignition models) or the
HI
position (on
standing pilot models) 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
cloth in place of a pot holder.
■When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
■To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without extending over
adjacent burners.
■Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
■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.
■If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slowly.
■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
■Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling
the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers
when food is added.
■When flaming foods are under the hood,
turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may
spread the flames.
■Do not use a wok on the cooking surface
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.
■Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
■Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
■Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
■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.
■ If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and create a fire hazard.
■If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
■Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
WARNING!
■The purpose of the warming drawer is
to hold hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food;
cold food cannot be heated or cooked in
the warming drawer.
■Do not use the warming drawer to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they can catch
on fire.
■Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the warming drawer
when not in use.
■Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your warming drawer.
■Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your warming drawer.
■Do not warm food in the warming drawer
for more than two hours.
■
Do not touch the heating element or the
interior surface of the warming drawer.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
REMEMBER:
The inside surface of the
warming drawer may be hot when the
drawer is opened.
■Use care when opening the drawer. Open
the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam
escape 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 finish.

■Avoid scratching the glass cooktop surface.
The glass surface can be scratched with
items such as sharp instruments, rings or
other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
■Do not operate the cooktop if the glass is
broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may
penetrate a broken cooktop and create a
risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass
cooktop surface become broken.
■Never use the glass cooktop surface as
a cutting board.
■Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the glass cooktop surface,
even when it is not being used.
■Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot
and could cause burns.
■Clean the cooktop surface with caution.
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE:
We recommend that you avoid
wiping any surface areas until they have
cooled and the indicator light has gone off.
Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please
see
Cleaning the glass cooktop surface
section.
■When the cooktop surface is cool, use only
CERAMA BRYTE
®
Ceramic Cooktop
Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE
®
Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
■To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the
glass surface when it is hot.
■After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper
towel to remove all cleaning cream residue.
■Read and follow all instructions and
warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
Use care when touching the glass cooktop surface. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat
after the controls have been turned off.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
the shelves, broiler pan, grid and
other cookware.
■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.
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
■Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner 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.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
■Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
■Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■Place the oven shelves in the desired
position while the oven is cool.
■Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock 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.
■Never use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Improper use of foil could start
a fire.
■Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the
oven except as described in this manual.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or
damage to the range.
■When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
■Use only glass cookware that is
recommended for use in gas ovens.
■Always remove the broiler pan from range as
soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the
pan can catch fire if oven is used without
removing the grease from the broiler pan.
■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, press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad, and keep
the oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out.
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.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
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°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it to
the
LITE
position.
You will hear a little
clicking
noise—
the sound of the electric spark igniting
the burner.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
If the knob stays at
LITE,
it will continue
to click.
When one burner is turned to
LITE,
all
the burners spark. Do not attempt to
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.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to the LITE position.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames
extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner
should match the cookware you are using.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to heat
the handle.
In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light the
gas surface burners on your range with a
match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then
push in and turn the control knob to the
LITE
position. Use extreme caution when
lighting burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to
operate normally.
Before Lighting a Gas 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.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
■ Do not operate the burner for an
extended period of time without
cookware on the grate. The finish on
the grate may chip 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.
Sealed Gas Burners
The smaller burner (right rear position) will
give the best simmer results. It offers precise
cooking performance for delicate foods,
such as sauces or foods which need to cook
over low heat for a long time. It can be
turned down to a very low simmer setting.
The largest burners are higher powered
than the others and will bring liquids to
a boil quicker.

Using the gas surface burners.
Wok This Way
We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok.
They are available at your local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok with a
wok holder.
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a
support ring. Placing the ring over the
burner or grate may cause the burner
to work improperly, resulting in carbon
monoxide levels above allowable current
standards. This could be dangerous to
your health.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Stove Top Grills
Do not use stove top grills 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.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum:
Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. 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 usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.

Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The shelves have stop-locks, 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 shelf out to the bump on the shelf
support.
To remove a shelf,
pull it toward you, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.
To replace,
place the end of the shelf (stop-
locks) on the support, tilt up the front and
push the shelf in.
NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out at the
special low shelf (R) position.
The oven has 5 shelf positions.
It also has a special low shelf
position (R) for extra large items,
such as a large turkey.
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.
Oven Light
Touch the
OVEN LIGHT
pad on the upper
control panel to turn the light on or off.
Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the
rear of the range. Do not block these ducts
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.
Plastic items on the cooktop may
melt if left too close to the vent.
Vent appearance and location vary.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary
when convection baking and for good
results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry
and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible. Pans should not touch each other
or the walls of the oven. If you need to use
two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not
directly above the other, and leave
approximately 1
1
⁄2″ between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the wall.
Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom with
aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you
must mold the foil tightly to the grid and
cut slits in it just like the grid.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover.
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 spillover by placing it on a lower shelf
several inches below the food.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
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.
The oven has a special low shelf (R)
position just above the oven bottom.
Use it when extra cooking space is
needed, for example, when cooking
a large turkey. The shelf is not
designed to slide out at this position.

Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature
probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
Use of probes other than the one provided
with this product may result in damage to
the probe.
Use the handles of the probe and plug
when inserting and removing them from
the food and outlet.
■
To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs
to pull on the cable when removing it.
■
To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is
completely defrosted before inserting.
■
To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the
probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.
■
Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
■
Do not store the probe in the oven.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet in the oven.
After preparing the meat and placing it on
a trivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow
these directions for proper probe
placement.
Insert the probe completely into the meat.
It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe
into the meatiest part of the roast. For
bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into
the center of the lowest large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes
such as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of
the inner thigh from below and parallel to
the leg of a whole turkey.
How to Set the Oven For Roasting When Using the Probe
Insert the probe into the food.
Plug the probe into the outlet in the
oven. Make sure it’s pushed all the
way in. Close the oven door.
Touch the
PROBE
pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired internal food or meat
temperature.
Touch the
BAKE
pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
Touch the
START
pad.
The display will flash if the probe is inserted into the
outlet and you have not set a probe temperature and
touched the START pad.
After the internal temperature of the food
reaches 100°F., the changing internal
temperature will be shown in the display.
When the internal temperature of the
food reaches the number you have set,
the probe and the oven turn off and
the oven control signals. To stop the
signal, touch the
CLEAR/OFF
pad. Use
hot pads to remove the probe from
the food. Do not use tongs to pull on
it—they might damage it.
To change the oven temperature during
the Roast cycle, touch the
BAKE
pad and
then the number pads to set the new
temperature.
■
If the probe is removed from the food before the
final temperature is reached, a tone will sound
and the display will flash until the probe is
removed from the oven.
■
You can use the timer even though you cannot
use timed oven operations while using the
probe.

Using the convection oven.
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time
while using convection cooking.
To help you understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
traditional bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.
Convection Bake
■
Preheat the oven. See the Using the Oven–
Preheating and Pan Placement section.
■
Ideal for foods cooked on multiple shelves.
■
Good for large quantities of baked foods.
■
Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,
cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food
cake and bread.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Convection Roast
■
Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food. Using
the grid and broiler pan provided, heated
air will be circulated over and around the
food being roasted. The heated air seals in
juices quickly for a moist and tender
product while, at the same time, creating
a rich golden brown exterior.
Roasts or poultry should be cooked on shelf
position (A).
When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use the broiler pan and
grid for best convection roasting results.
The pan is used to catch grease spills and
the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.
■
Place the shelf in shelf position (A).
■
Place the grid on the broiler pan.
In a convection oven, a fan
circulates hot air over, under and
around the food. This circulating hot
air is evenly distributed throughout
the oven cavity. As a result, foods
are evenly cooked and browned—
often in less time than with regular
heat.
Grid
Broiler pan
Automatic Convection Conversion
You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.

Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking
with several pans, leave space between
them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch
each other or the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for use in regular
ovens can be used in convection ovens.
Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to
temperatures of 400°F. can also be used,
when oven is below 400°F.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans heat
the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.
■
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster
than shiny pans.
■
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the best
results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead
of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Touch the
CONVECTION BAKE
or
CONVECTION ROAST
pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
Touch the
START
pad.
To change the oven temperature, touch the
CONVECTION BAKE
or
CONVECTION ROAST
pad and then the number pads to set the
new temperature.
When the oven starts to heat the changing
temperature, starting at 100°F., will be
displayed. When the oven reaches the
temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.
Touch the
CLEAR/OFF
pad when
finished.
NOTE: You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door is
opened but the heat will not turn off.
The fan will not start until the preheat temperature
is reached.
Multi-Shelf Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be baked
with excellent results using multiple shelves.
Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods but the overall result
is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and
other quick breads give very good results
with multi-shelf baking.
When baking larger foods on 3 shelves,
place one shelf in the 2nd (A) position, one
on the 4th (C) position and the third shelf
in the 6th (E) position.
When baking cookies, place the shelves in
the 4th (C), 5th (D), and 6th (E) positions.
When convection baking with only
1 shelf, follow the shelf positions
recommended in the Using the
Oven section.

CAUTION: To prevent possible burns, do not
unplug the probe from the oven outlet until the oven
has cooled. Do not store the probe in the oven.
NOTE:
■
If the probe is removed from the food before the
final temperature is reached, a tone will sound
and the display will flash until the probe is
removed from the oven.
■
You will hear a fan while cooking with this
feature. The fan will stop when the door is
opened but the heat will not turn off.
■
You can use the timer even though you cannot
use timed oven operations while using the probe.
For best results when roasting large
turkeys and roasts, we recommend
using the probe included in the
convection oven.

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained
in memory after a power failure.

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 lower 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 old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

Remove the shelves, broiler pan, broiler
grid, probe, all cookware and any
aluminum foil from the oven.
The oven shelves 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.

Burner Grates
Lift out when cool. Grates should be
washed regularly and, of course, after
spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water
and rinse with clean water. When replacing
the grates, be sure they are positioned
securely over the burners.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
To remove burned-on food, use a soap-
filled scouring pad.
Although they are durable, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the
best care you can give them. This is due
to their continual exposure to high
temperatures. You will notice this sooner
with lighter color grates.
NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning
oven.
For porcelain cooktop models only:
■ After cleaning the grates, dry them
thoroughly by putting them in a warm
oven for a few minutes. Do not put the
grates back on the range while they are
wet. When replacing the grates, make
sure they are positioned securely over
the burners.
■ To prevent rusting on cast iron grates,
apply a light coating of cooking oil on
the bottom of the grates.
Cooktop Surface (on porcelain cooktop models)
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills right
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot
if allowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash and
rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings,

Glass surface—potential for permanent damage
.
Our testing shows that if
you are cooking high sugar
mixtures such as jelly or
fudge and have a spillover,
it can cause permanent
damage to the glass surface
unless the spillover is
immediately removed.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may
need help removing and replacing the door.
To remove the door,
open it a few inches to
the special stop position that will hold the
door open. Grasp firmly on each side and
lift the door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the
hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could
snap back and pinch fingers.
To replace the door,
make sure the hinges
are in the special stop position. Position the
slots in the bottom of the door squarely
over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly
and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If the hinges snap back against the
oven frame, pull them back out.
To clean the inside of the door:
■ Do not allow excess water to run into
any holes or slots in the door.
■ Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self clean cycle, you
do not need to clean this by hand. Any
soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
■ The area outside the gasket can be
cleaned with a soap-filled steel wool or
plastic pad.
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.
■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When the
surface is cool, clean and rinse.
■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
Broiler Pan and Grid
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from
the oven. Remove the grid from the pan.
Carefully pour out grease from the pan into
a proper container. Wash and rinse the
broiler pan and grid in hot water with a
soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid
with detergent while hot and cover with wet
paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the
pan will remove burned-on foods.
The broiler pan and grid may be cleaned
with a commercial oven cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid
anywhere in the range.
CAUTION: Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in
a self-cleaning oven.
Lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.
The gasket is designed with a gap
at the bottom to allow for proper air
circulation.
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.
Grid
Pan
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel
finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the
oven bottom from excessive spillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below
the shelf you are cooking on. This is
particularly important when baking a fruit
pie or other foods with a high acid content.
Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are
highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut,
and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice)
may cause pitting and damage to the
porcelain enamel surface and should be
wiped up immediately.
We don’t recommend using aluminum foil
on the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if
the holes are blocked and it can concentrate
heat at the bottom of the oven, resulting in
poor baking performance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled steel-wool
pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before
self-cleaning.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control panel—they will
damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of
vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may be removed for
easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it
straight off the stem. If knob is difficult to
remove, place a towel or dishcloth between
the knob and control panel and pull gently.
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a

Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.
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.
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. Also, make sure your
floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the
Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your
range can withstand the heat generated
(up to 200°F.) by the range. (See the
Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
All ranges can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See Installing
the Anti-Tip Device in this section.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip
the range forward. The Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip 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.

Provide Adequate Gas Supply
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4
″
of water column on natural gas or, if designed for
LP gas (propane or butane), 10
″
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″ and
13″ of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between
10″ and 13″ of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the
regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1″
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 in length for ease
of installation. In Canada, flexible connectors must
be single wall metal connectors no longer than
6 feet in length.
Connect the Range to Gas
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the 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.G.A.-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. If 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, put pipe joint compound on,
or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all
male (external) pipe threads.
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the
gas line 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.
Install male 1/2″ flare union adapter to the
1/2″ NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of
regulator. On models equipped with standard
twin burners, install the male pipe thread end
of the 1/2″flare union adapter to the 1/2″
NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure
regulator. Use a backup wrench on the
regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front,
remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.
Install male 1/2″ or 3/4″ 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.
Connect flexible metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Position range to
permit connection at the shut-off valve.
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.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 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 1/2 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.

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.
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 word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are
devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit
and automatically switch off power when a
threshold leakage level is detected. These devices
must be manually reset by the consumer. The
National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI’s
in kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop
surfaces. Performance of the range will not be
affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but
occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker
is possible.
Usage Situations where Appliance
Power Cord will be Disconnected
Infrequently.
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
wall 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.
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.
CAUTION:
Attaching the adapter
ground terminal to the wall 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.
Preferred Method
Temporary Method
Ensure proper ground exists

Electrical Connections
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
eventual 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 A225.1, latest edition, or with local
codes. In Canada, mobile home installation must
be in accordance with the current CAN/CSA
Z240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.
Electric Disconnect
■ Locate disconnect plug on the range back.
■ Pinch sides of connector and pull out of range
back.
Seal the Openings
Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and
in the floor under the range when hookups are
completed.
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.
Electric Ignition Models
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously
push in and turn to
LITE
position. You will hear
a
clicking
sound indicating proper operation of the
spark module. 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.
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.
(C) Soft blue
flames—Normal for
natural gas
(B) Yellow tips on
outer cones—
Normal for LP gas
(A) Yellow flames—
Call for service
Check Ignition of Oven Burner
The oven is designed to operate quietly and
automatically. To operate the oven, press the
BAKE
pad and then press the number pads until
350°
appears in the display. Touch the
START
pad.
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 display.
To check ignition of the broil burner, touch the
BROIL HI/LO
pad and then the
START
pad. 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 burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until
power is restored.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Safety InstructionsInstallation InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsConsumer Support
Installation of the range.
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.
The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil)
burner is in the center of the rear wall of the oven.
The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near
the back wall behind the warming drawer. Remove
the drawer. See the
Care and cleaning of the range
section.
To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the Phillips
head screw and rotate the shutter toward open or closed
position as needed.
The flames for the top (broil) burner should be
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:
Remove the knurled screws holding down
rear of the oven bottom.
Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on
each side.
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.

Leveling the Range
Install the oven shelves in the oven and
position the range where it will be installed.
Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or
a cup, partially filled with 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.
Remove the warming drawer. See the
Care
and cleaning of the range
section. The front
leveling legs can be adjusted from the bottom
and the rear legs can be adjusted from the
top or the bottom.
Use an open-end or adjustable wrench to
adjust the leveling legs until the range is level.
After the range is level, slide the range away
from the wall so that the Anti-Tip device can
be installed.

Converting to LP Gas
(or converting back to natural gas from LP)
This range leaves the factory set for use with natural gas.
If you want to convert to LP gas, the conversion must be
performed by a qualified LP gas installer.
The conversion instructions and LP orifices can be
found attached to the range next to the pressure
regulator.
Keep these instructions and the orifices in case you
want to convert back to natural gas.
Installing the Anti-Tip Device
Mark the wall where the

of the
range is to be located. Be sure to allow for the
countertop overhang if you intend to install
the range next to cabinets.
Locate the outside edge of the device 2
1
⁄8″
toward the center of the range from the
marked edge of the range.
Using the device as a template, mark the
position of the hole for the screw.
For wood construction, drill a pilot hole at an
angle of 20 degrees from the horizontal. A nail
or awl may be used if a drill is not available.
Mount the Anti-Tip device with the screw provided.
For cement or concrete construction, you
will need a 1/4″ x 1
1
⁄2″ lag bolt and a 1/2″ O.D.
sleeve anchor, which are not provided. Drill
the recommended size hole for the hardware.
Install the sleeve anchor into the drilled hole and
then install the lag bolt through the device. The
bolts must be properly tightened as recommended
for the hardware.
Slide the range against the wall, and check for
proper installation by grasping the front edge
of the cooktop and carefully attempting to tilt
the range forward.
WARNING:
■ Range must be secured with an approved
Anti-Tip device.
■ Unless properly installed, the range could be
tipped by you or a child standing, sitting or
leaning on an open door.
■ After installing the Anti-Tip device, verify that
it is in place by carefully attempting to tilt the
range forward.
■ This range has been designed to meet all
recognized industry tip standards for all
normal conditions.
■ The use of this device does not preclude
tipping of the range when not properly
installed.
■ If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range
does not fit this application, use the universal
Anti-Tip device WB02X7909.
When All Hookups Are Completed:
MAKE SURE ALL CONTROLS ARE LEFT IN THE
OFF POSITION.
MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION AIR TO THE RANGE IS UNOBSTRUCTED.
