BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
WARNING
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. During self clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish.
To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity
Types of Oven Rack
Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Racks
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.
Removing and Replacing the Glide Racks
The fully extendable Glide rack makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.
To remove - Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position. Using one hand, reach through handle opening and grasp both the upper and lower portions of the glide rack
While holding both sections, pull the glide rack out of the oven until the stop position is reached
Using both hands, lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull the rack away from the oven. Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions together when removing or handling the glide rack.
The rack portions move independently and should be held together when removing and replacing.
To replace - Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position. Grasp both upper and lower portions of glide rack. Lift and hold the rack level between the oven cavity walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the rack completely into position.
To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity

Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized qualified Agency. Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame.
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop:
- If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth.
- Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry
CAUTION
To avoid possible burns do not attempt to operate the surface burners without the burner caps. Do not use spray oven cleaner on the cooktop.
To clean oval burner heads:
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner head. Clean the cap with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly
2. For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy water to the burner head. Allow time for the soils to soften.
3. Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner head and the slots and holes in the burner (see Figure 17).
4. Use a needle or fine wire to clean out the ignition port (see Figure 17).
5. Wipe the burner head clean with a soft, clean cloth, sponge, or scratch-free cleaning pad.
6. Before using the cooktop again, make sure the burner caps are properly placed and seated on the burner heads. When placed correctly, the burner cap is centered on the burner head and will click into place on the burner head. You can wiggle the cap to test placement, it should not move off the burner head (see”Assembly of the Burner Caps” on page 13).
Important notes:
- The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and must be cleaned in place on the cooktop.
- Always keep the surface burner caps in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
- When replacing the burner caps, be sure the burner caps are seated firmly on top of the burner heads.
- For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas orifice port opening.
Cleaning burners with removable heads
To clean burner heads:
1. Remove the burner cap and burner head carefully.
2. Clean the cap and head with hot soapy water and let dry thoroughly.
3. For burned on and dried spills, apply hot soapy water to the burner cap and head and let soak for the soils to soften. Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner head.
4. Wipe the burner cap and head clean with a soft, clean cloth, sponge, or scratch free cleaning pad.
5. Before using the cooktop again, make sure the burner caps and heads are properly placed and seated properly over the igniter. When placed correctly, the burner cap is centered on the burner head and will click into place on the burner head. You can wiggle the cap to test placement, it should not move off the burner head.

Caring for Your Glide Racks
Caution: Handle oven racks only when they are cool. After cooking or after the clean cycle, racks will be very hot and can cause burns.
Important Notes:
- Remove all oven racks, including ladder racks, before starting a clean cycle.
- Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray, or other oil-based lubrication products on the glide rack extension tracks. Use only the graphite lubrication in this area. To order graphite lubrication, contact your installer, servicer or dealer.
- It is important that the parts of the rack that contact the oven sides always have a light coating of vegetable oil. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every clean cycle and when the rack becomes difficult to reposition in the oven.
To lubricate the glide rack:
1. Remove the rack from the oven and place the rack on a large flat surface covered with newspaper or scrap cloth. Fully extend the rack.
2. Wipe away debris and crumbs from the glide track using a cloth or sponge.
3. Shake graphite lubrication very well before applying. Apply to loading guides, and rotation pin. Repeat on both sides of the glide rack.
4. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.
5. Turn the rack upside down and apply graphite lubrication to the insides of the loading guides.
6. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.
7. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the bottom of the “V” and the glide channels. Keeping the frame sides lightly lubricated allows the entire rack to slide easily when changing rack positions.
8. Replace rack in oven right-side up.
Removing and Replacing the Oven Door
CAUTION The door is heavy. To temporarily store it safely, place the door horizontally with the interior side facing down.
To remove the oven door:
1. Open oven door completely, horizontal with floor.
2. Pull up the lock located on each hinge support toward front of the oven until the lock stops. You may have to apply a little upward pressure on the lock to pull it up (Figure 22 and Figure 23).
3. Grasp the door by the sides, and close the door until the door frame makes contact with the unlocked hinges.
4. Pull the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the appli- ance to completely disengage the hinge levers (Figure 24).
To Replace Oven Door:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides. Do not use the oven door handle (Figure 24).
2. Hold the oven door at the same angle as the removal position. Carefully insert the hinge levers into the oven frame until you feel the hinge levers are seated into the hinge notches. The hinge arms must be fully seated into the hinge notches before the oven door can be fully opened. (Figure 24.
3. Fully open the oven door, horizontal with floor (Figure 21).
4. Push the door hinge locks up toward and into the oven frame on both left and right oven door hinges to the locked position (Figure 22 and 23).
5. Close the oven door.
IMPORTANT
Special door care instructions - The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down. Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are positioned correctly in the cavity. Do not hit the glass with bakeware or any other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time

| Cooktop Problems | |
| Surface burners do not ignite. |
Surface control knob was not completely turned to LITE (). Push in and turn the surface control knob to LITE until the burner ignites and then turn the control knob to the desired flame size. Burner ports are clogged. With the burner OFF and cool, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean the burner head slots and ignition ports. See “Cleaning burners with removable heads” on page 42 for additional cleaning instructions. Range power cord is disconnected from outlet (electric ignition models only). Be sure the power cord is securely plugged into the power outlet. Circuit is broken. Check breaker box or fuse box. Electrical power outage. Burners may be lit manually. See “Setting surface controls” on page 16. |
| Surface burner flame uneven or only part way around burner cap. |
Burner slots or ports are clogged. With the surface burner OFF and cool, clean ports with a small-gauge wire or needle. If moisture is present after cleaning, lightly fan the flame and allow the burner to operate until flame is full. Burner caps are not seated properly. Check that all burner caps are level and seated correctly on the burner heads. See “Cleaning burners with removable heads” on page 42 for additional cleaning instructions. |
| Surface burner flame is too high. |
Surface control knob is set too high. Adjust to a lower flame setting. Burner caps are not seated properly. Check that all surface burner caps are level and seated correctly on the surface burner heads. See “Cleaning burners with removable heads” on page 42 for additional cleaning instructions. Incorrect L.P. conversion. Refer to L.P. conversion kit instructions to correct. |
| Surface burner flame is orange. |
Dust particles in main gas line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns blue. In coastal areas, a slightly orange flame is unavoidable due to salt content in the air. Incorrect L.P. conversion. Refer to L.P. conversion kit instructions to correct. |
| Self clean does not work. | Oven control not set properly. See “Self Clean” on page 38 |
| Oven racks discolored or do not slide easily. | Oven racks left in oven cavity during self clean. Remove oven racks from oven cavity before starting a self-clean cycle. Clean by using a mild abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry, and replace in oven. |
| Soil not completely removed after self clean. |
Self clean was interrupted. Review instructions on “Self Clean” on page 38 Excessive spills on oven bottom. Remove excessive spills before starting self clean. Failure to clean soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before starting the self-cleaning cycle. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket. |
| The oven control display shows "SCC" and selfclean is not working. | The cooktop should not be used during a self-clean cycle. On some models, turning on any cooktop surface burner will cause the clean cycle to cancel. If the clean cycle is canceled, the oven control display will show “SCC" for 5 seconds. The oven door will remain locked until the oven has cooled down below cleaning temperature. If the oven is below cleaning temperature, the user can start another clean cycle immediately. If the oven is in cleaning temperature range, another self-clean cycle can be set once the door unlocks (up to 4 hours). |
