OWNER’S MANUAL Self-Cleaning Gas Range

In Case of a Power Failure

In the event of a power failure, the oven is inoperable and no attempt should be made to operate it. However, the surface burner may be lit with a match. Using extreme caution, hold a lit match near the ports beneath the surface burner cap, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Once lit, surface burners will continue to operate normally.

Surface Burners

Lighting a Surface Burner

WARNING: Burners should be operated only when covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.

• Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.
• Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob in and turn it to the LITE position
• You will hear a clicking noise the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. When one burner is turned to LITE, all burners will spark. Sparking will continue as long as the knob remains at LITE. Once gas is ignited, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

Selecting a Flame Size

• Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When rapid heating is desired, the flame size should match the size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be hazardous.

Using the Surface Burners

NOTES:

• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
• Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while another burner is on. Damage to the product may occur.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials on them.
• Your rangetop offers convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.
• The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking performance for foods such as delicate sauces that require low heat for a long cooking time.

Types of Surface Burners

Multi-Ring Burner (some models)

Dual Oval Burner (some models)

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.
• 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 or as the manufacturer recommends.
• Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.
• Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow the 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 (saycepans, coffee and teapots) very slowly.
• Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check the cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stove Top Grills

• Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Using a Wok

• Use only a flat - bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.
• Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Griddle (on some models)

Using Your Nonstick Aluminum Griddle (on some models)

Your griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for meats, pancakes, and other foods usually prepared in a skillet. Before first use, rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly.

Griddle Precautions

• Do not use oil on the griddle for extended lengths of time. Permanent staining and/or craze lines on the surface could result
• Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the griddle burner on at Hi for an extended amount of time without food can damage the nonstick coating.
• Use only plastic, nylon, wooden utensils, or SilverStone kitchen tools to prevent marring of the coating.
• Never use knives or cut food on the griddle.
• Do not use metal utensils with sharp points or rough, sharp edges which might damage the griddle surface.
• Store carefully to prevent scratching.
• Do not place the griddle in a microwave oven.
• If something has spilled under the griddle, it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on” food soil.
• Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle with hot. soapy water as soon as it is cool.
• Do not clean your griddle in the dishwasher.
• Do not clean the griddle in the self-cleaning oven. Doing so will damage the nonstick coating. For instructions on how to clean the griddle, see the Cleaning the Cooktop section of this manual.

Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Let the bulb cool completely before removing it. For your safety do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If you do the bulb may break.

To remove: Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the socket and pull the cover off. Remove the bulb.

To replace: Put in a new 40 watt appiance bulb. Place the tabs on the glass cover into the grooves of the socket. Turn the glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.

NOTE:

• A 40 watt appiance bulb is smaller than a standard 40 watt household bulb.
• Reconnect electrical power to the oven once the new bulb is installed.
• 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.

Oven Door

The door is very heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door. Do not lift door by the handle.

To Remove the Door:

1. Fully open the oven door
2. Pull the hinge locks up and away from the range frame to the unlocked position.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of the door near the top.

Troubleshooting Tips ... Before you call for service

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.

1. 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 Oven Controls section

2. 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 Oven Controls section

3. 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.

4. Oven temperature too hot or too cold

• Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Oven Controls section.

5. 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 Special Features section.
• The clock is turned off. See the Oven Controls or Special Features section

6. “Crackling” or “popping” sound

• This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions. This is normal.

7. 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 thwn in older ovens to achieve better results during baking, broiling, and self-clean cycles. This is normal.

8. Clock and timer do not work

• A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

9. 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.

10. 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

11. Oven will not selfclean

• 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 Care and Cleaning section.

12. Excessive smoking during clean cycle

• Excessive soil or grease. Turn the Oven Temperature Knob to OFF. Wait until the Oven cools below the unlocking temperature. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

13. Oven not clean after a clean cycle

• Oven controls improperly set. See the Care and Cleaning section.
• Oven was heavily soiled. Clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean again.

14. 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. See the Care and Cleaning section. This is temporary

15. Excessive smoking during broiling

• Food too close to burner element. Lower the rack position of the food.

16. Oven door will not open when you want to cook.

• The oven door is locked because the temperature inside the oven has not dropped below the locking temperature. Allow the oven to cool below the locking temperature.

17. "LOCK DOOR" flashes in the display

• The self-clean or steam-clean cycle has been selected but the door is not locked. Lock the oven door.

18. “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.

19. Clock flashes due to a power outage

• 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.

20. 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 Oven Controls section.

21. 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

22. 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.

23. 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.

24. 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.

25. 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.

26. 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.
