Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
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 cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
• The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure
can be minimized further by venting with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this guide.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
• Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area where
an appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They
could damage the range and even tip it over,
causing severe personal injury.
• Keep the hood and grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
WARNING—
All ranges can tip and injury could
result. To prevent accidental tipping
of the range, attach it to the floor by
installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.
To check if the device is installed and
engaged properly, remove the storage
drawer and inspect the rear leveling
legs. Make sure they fit securely under
the ends of the bracket.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any
reason, make sure the device is properly engaged
when you push the range back against the wall.
If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range
tipping over and causing injury if you or a child
stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information
in this guide. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and 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.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored over the range.
Flammable material could be ignited if brought
in contact with hot surface units or heating
elements and may cause severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist
or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do
not let pot holders touch the hot surface units or
the heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop.
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Turn the surface units and the
heating elements off. Smother a flaming pan
on a surface unit 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.
• Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even
though they are dark in color. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact, surface units, areas
nearby surface units or any interior area of the
oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening and crevices around
the oven door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 160ºF. and
poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature
of 180ºF. Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.
Oven
• Stand away from the range when opening the
oven door. The hot air or steam which escapes
can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Place the oven shelf in desired position while
the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holder contact the
heating elements in the oven.
• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
• 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.
• Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored
in an oven can ignite.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
Self-Cleaning Oven
(right oven—model JCP67)
• 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.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating
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.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and other cookware.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.
Surface Cooking Units
• Use proper pan size—select
cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the surface
unit heating element. The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the surface
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to
surface unit will also improve efficiency.
• Never leave surface units unattended at high
heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
4
• Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not
covered and are in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range parts and wiring.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans
or anywhere in the oven except as described in
this guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to the range.
• Only certain types of glass, glass⁄ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby surface units.
• Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
• To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for all
surface units are at the off position and all coils
are cool before attempting to lift or remove
a unit.
• Do not immerse or soak the removable surface
units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not
self-clean the surface units in the oven.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
• 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.
• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.

INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARATION
Installing the Range
Your range, like many other household items, is
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such
as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Be careful when
moving the range on this type of flooring. It should
be installed on a 1/4″ thick sheet of plywood (or
similar material) as follows:
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.
Leveling the Range
Leveling screws may be located on each corner of
the base. By removing the bottom drawer you can
level the range to an uneven floor by adjusting the
leveling legs.
To remove the drawer, pull the drawer out all the
way, tilt up the front and remove it. To replace, insert
the glides at the back of the drawer beyond the stop
on the range glides. Lift the drawer if necessary to
insert it easily. Let the front of the drawer down, then
push it in to close.

SURFACE CONTROLS
At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. You may hear slight
“clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the unit
at the heat level or power level you set.
Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change than
switching to a lower setting.
How to Set the Controls
Push the knob in and
turn in either direction
to the desired heat setting.
The control must be pushed in to set only from
the OFF position. When the control is in any
position other than OFF, it may be turned without
pushing it in.
Be sure you turn control to OFF when you finish
cooking.
The surface unit indicator light will glow when
ANY heat on any surface unit is on.
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—Quick start for cooking; bring water to a boil.
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and
MED.) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.
MED—Sauté and brown; maintain slow boil on large
amount of food.
Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and
LO.) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water
in a covered pan.
LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintain serving
temperature of foods. Slow cooking and simmering.
At LO settings, melt chocolate, butter on a small
surface unit.
NOTE: At HI and Medium High, never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers may catch fire.

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS
Cookware
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.
Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to
absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
For best cooking results pans should be flat on the
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of
the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the
edge of the surface unit more than 1 inch.
RIGHT
Not over 1 inch Over 1 inch
WRONG
Deep Fat Frying
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food.
Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high temperatures.
Keep the range and hood clean from grease.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use
only a flat-bottomed wok.
They are available at your
local retail store.
Do not use woks that have
support rings. Use of these
types of woks, with or
without the ring in place,
can be dangerous. Placing
the ring over the surface
unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks
without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the
wok tipped over.

OVEN CONTROL, CLOCK AND TIMER
USING YOUR OVEN
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how
to set them properly.
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.
Take a practice run at removing and replacing
them properly to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks of getting
acquainted with your range.
Oven Control, Clock and Timer Using Your Oven
Oven Light
The light comes on automatically when the right oven
door is opened. Use the switch on the control panel to
turn the light on and off when the door is closed.
Oven Interior Shelves
The shelves, in single oven models and the right oven
in double oven models, are designed with stop-locks so
that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, the
shelf will stop before coming completely out from the
oven, and will not tilt when you are removing food from
them or when placing food on them.
To remove a shelf from the oven, pull the shelf
forward until it stops. Lift the front and slide it out.
Be certain that the shelf is cool before touching it.
To replace the shelf in the oven, fit the shelf onto
the guides. Tilt the front up and slide into place.
On double oven models, the left oven comes with a
removable shelf for easy cleaning.
To remove, pull the shelf out and up in one smooth
motion. Be certain that the shelf is cool before
touching it.
To replace, tilt the front of the shelf up and slide
it into place.
Oven Interior Shelves
In single oven models and the right oven in double
oven models, the oven has four shelf supports—
1 (bottom), 2, 3 and 4 (top). Shelf positions for
cooking are suggested in the Baking, Roasting and
Broiling sections.
On double oven models, the left oven also has four
shelf supports—1 (bottom), 2, 3 and 4 (top). See the
Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections for the
suggested shelf positions.

BAKING
NOTE: When the oven is hot, the top and outside
surfaces of the range get hot too.
Your oven temperature is controlled using the latest
technology in oven control systems. It is recommended
that you operate your new oven for a number of
weeks to become familiar with its performance.
On double oven models, if you think an adjustment is
necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat
section. It gives easy Do It Yourself instructions on
how to adjust the thermostat of the right oven.
Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven
shelf or shelves in
the desired locations
while the oven is
cool. The correct
shelf position
depends on the kind
of food and the
browning desired.
As a general rule,
place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either
shelf position 2 or 3. See the chart for suggested shelf
positions. Two will be used more than 3.

Baking
Preheating
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means
bringing the oven up to the specified temperature
before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the
oven at the correct temperature—selecting a higher
temperature does not shorten preheat time.
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. After the oven
is preheated, place the food in the oven as quickly as
possible to prevent heat from escaping.
Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the front
or to the back of the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow 1- to 1
1
⁄2-inch space between pans as well
as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.
If you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not
directly above the other.
Baking Pans
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.
• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting
in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.
• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to
be reduced by 25°F.
• If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find
that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F.
to prevent over-browning.
Cookies
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without
sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked
in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have
darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the
walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover
a shelf with a large cookie sheet.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the
oven at a time.

BAKING
(continued)
Aluminum Foil
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.
16
Pies Cakes
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier
than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may
overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size
used is the one recommended.
Don’t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to
look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking
times such as “bake 30-40 minutes.”
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the
oven door frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes
baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.
The Type of Margarine Will Affect
Baking Performance
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 affect 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.

TIMED BAKING
(right oven—model JCP67)
How to Time Bake
On double oven models, the oven control allows you
to turn the right side oven on or off automatically at
specific times that you set. Examples of Immediate
Start (oven turns on now and you set it to turn off
automatically) and Delay Start and Stop (setting the
oven to turn on automatically at a later time and turn
off at a preset Stop Time) will be described.
NOTE: Before beginning, make sure the oven clock
shows the correct time of day.
To set the clock:
1. Press the CLOCK pad.
2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE
pad to set the time of day.
3. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad to start, or
the clock will automatically start after
several seconds.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn the oven on.
The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a
selected length of time. At the end of cook time the
oven will turn off automatically.
1. Press the BAKE TIME pad.
2. Press the INCREASE and DECREASE
pads until the desired length of baking
time appears in the display.
To change the cook time after baking
has started, press the BAKE TIME
pad, then press the INCREASE or
DECREASE pads.
3. Press the BAKE pad.
4. Using the INCREASE or DECREASE pad, enter
the desired temperature.
To change the oven temperature after baking has
started, press the BAKE pad and the INCREASE
or DECREASE pads to set the new desired
temperature.
5. The oven will turn on. The time of day will show
in the display. To view the cook time remaining,
press the BAKE TIME pad.
The oven will continue to cook for the programmed
amount of time, then shut off automatically. At the
end of baking, the display will show “End” and the
control will beep 3 times every 60 seconds until
the CLEAR/OFF pad is pressed.
6. Remove the food from the oven. Remember, foods
that are left in the oven continue cooking after the
controls are off.
NOTE:
• The low temperature zone of this range (between
WARM and 200°F.) is available to keep hot cooked
foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than
two hours at these low temperatures may spoil.
• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed
to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat
from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

The oven is now set to start at 4:00 and cook for
3 hours at a temperature of 325°F. At the end of
the 3 hour cooking time (7:00), the oven will
automatically turn off.
At the end of baking, the display will show “End”
and the control will beep 3 times every 60 seconds
until the CLEAR/OFF pad is pressed.
7. Remove the food from the oven. Remember,
even though the oven shuts off automatically,
foods continue cooking after controls are off.
NOTE:
• The low temperature zone of this range (between
WARM and 200°F.) is available to keep hot cooked
foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than
two hours at these low temperatures may spoil.
• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed
to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat
from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
Quick Reminder:
1. Press the BAKE TIME pad.
2. Press the INCREASE and DECREASE pads

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT—
DO IT YOURSELF!
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. If
you think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make
it cooler. If you think it is too cool, adjust the
thermostat to make it hotter.
We do not recommend the use of thermometers,
such as those found in grocery stores, to check the
temperature setting of your new 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.

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry
can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting
temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep
spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.
Therefore, oven controls are set for baking or timed
baking (on some models). (You may hear a slight
clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.)
You may wish to use Timed Baking (on some models)
to turn the oven on and off automatically.
Remember that food will continue to cook in the
hot oven and therefore should be removed when
the desired internal temperature has been reached.
Place the shelf in position 1 or 2. No preheating is
necessary.
Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat fat-side-
up, or poultry breast-side-up, on roasting rack in a
shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat.
Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible.
(The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.) Line
the broiler pan with aluminum foil when using the pan
for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily
cured meats or basting food during cooking. Avoid
spilling these materials inside the oven or inside the
oven door.
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,
after being removed from the oven. Standing time
recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows
roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve.
Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F. during
standing. To compensate for this temperature increase,
remove the roast from the oven before it reaches the
temperature you want.
Small poultry may be cooked at 375°F. for best
browning.
How to Set Your Oven for Roasting
NOTE: On double oven models make sure you set
the control for the oven you wish to use.
1. Press the BAKE pad.
2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set
the oven temperature.
To change the oven temperature during the
roast cycle, press the BAKE pad and set the
new temperature.
The oven will start automatically. When the oven
starts to heat, the changing temperature will be
in the display.
3. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when roasting is
finished.
NOTE: On double oven models, if you use the
broiler pan, be sure to use the pan designated for
use in the oven you are using.
Frozen Roasts
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started
without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per
pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for
roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).
Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to insure
even doneness. Some commercial frozen poultry can
be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow the
directions given on the package label.

BROILING
Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from
the upper element in the oven. Most fish and tender
cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow the directions in
this guide to keep spattering and smoking to a
minimum.
If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart. If
desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about
1/8″ thick.
Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler
pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to
catch on fire.
Place the shelf in position 3 for most broiling.
How to Set Your Oven For Broiling
(model JCS57 and right oven only of double oven model JCP67)
NOTE: On double oven models make sure you set
the control for the oven you wish to use.
1. Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the

BROILING GUIDE
• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to
10 minutes only.
• On double oven models, preheat the left oven
10 minutes before broiling. You do not need to
preheat single oven broilers or the right oven broiler
on double oven models.
• When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty
edges hang over the sides. These could soil the oven
bottom.
• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the
oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and
increasing cooking time given in this guide 1
1
⁄2
times per side.
The times in this guide are approximate. They may vary depending on the weight and shape of the food.

Questions and Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use
a grid in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the
pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected
by the grid and stay cooler, thus preventing
excessive spatter and smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn meat
with tongs; piercing meat with a fork allows juices
to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush
each side often with butter.
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown
as they should?
A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the oven
may be low. In these cases, preheat for 10 minutes
before placing the broiler pan with food in the
oven. Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil for the longest
period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide.
Turn food only once during broiling.
23
OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN
(right oven—model JCP67)
Before a Clean Cycle
The range must be completely cool in order to set
the self-clean cycle.
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven—they can’t
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in
the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken,
lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning
to make shelves slide more easily.
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you
use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning
to prevent staining.
NOTE: Do not clean the bake element or broil
element. Any soil will burn off when the elements
are heated. The bake element can be lifted gently
to clean the oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash
accumulate around the bake element, gently wipe
around the element with warm water.
3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and
the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened
cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door
outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-
clean cycle.
On these areas, use detergent and hot water or a
soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a
vinegar and water solution. This will help prevent
a brown residue from forming when the oven is
heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth. Do not
clean the gasket. Never use a commercial oven
cleaner in or around the self-cleaning oven.
Clean the top, sides and outside front of the oven
door with soap and water. Do not use abrasives or
oven cleaners.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—
the fiberglass material of the gasket has an
extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact
and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for
energy-efficient oven operation and good baking
results. 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.
Do not let water run down through openings in
the top of the door. To help prevent water from
getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door
as far as it will go.
4. Close the oven door and make sure the oven
light is off. If the oven light is not turned off,
the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may
burn out immediately.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus the
high clean-cycle temperature may damage the
porcelain finish of the oven.
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.
After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the oven. Just
wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled
steel wool pad. Be sure to 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.
If the shelves become hard to slide, apply a small
amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper
towel and wipe the edges of the oven shelves with
the paper towel.
NOTE: No functions can be programmed before the
door automatically unlocks.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Follow the steps in the Before a Clean Cycle section.
1. Press the SELF CLEAN pad.
2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the
desired clean time is displayed.
You can change the clean time from 2 hours to 3
hours, depending on how dirty your oven is. The
door will lock automatically and the self-clean
cycle will begin after “CLN” is displayed and the
time for the clean cycle is set. It will not be
possible to open the oven door until the
temperature drops below the lock temperature
and the DOOR LOCKED light goes off.
3. When the DOOR LOCKED light is off and the
oven has cooled, open the door.
Do not force the oven door open. This can
damage the automatic door locking system.
Use caution when opening the door after self-
cleaning. The oven may still be very hot. Stand to
the side of the oven when opening the door to
allow hot air or steam to escape.
To Stop a Clean Cycle
1. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad.
2. When the DOOR LOCKED light goes off and the
oven has cooled below the locking temperature,
you can open the door.
Questions and Answers
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any
part of my self-cleaning oven?
A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around
any part of this oven. If you do use them and do
not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it
absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar
the oven surface and damage metal parts the next
time the oven is automatically cleaned.
Q. Can I clean the gasket around the oven door?
A. No, this gasket is essential for a good oven seal,
and care must be taken not to rub, damage or
move this gasket.
Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear
during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and
cooling during both the cooking and cleaning
functions.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after
cleaning?
A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit which
is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge
or cloth.
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs
during cleaning?
A. This is caused by excessive soil. Press the
CLEAR/OFF pad. Open the windows to rid the
room of smoke. Wait until the DOOR LOCKED
light goes off. Wipe up the excess soil and reset
the clean cycle.
Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?
A. Yes, there will be an odor during the first few
cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might
also cause a strong odor when cleaning.
Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled
surface of my oven?
A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating
and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not
affect how your oven performs.
Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven
is self-cleaning?
A. Yes. While the oven is self-cleaning, you can use
the cooktop just as you normally do.
25
CARE AND CLEANING
Proper care and cleaning are important so your range
will give you efficient and satisfactory service.
Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to
help assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE
CLEANING ANY PART OF THE RANGE.
If your range is removed for
cleaning, servicing or any reason,
be sure the anti-tip device is re-
engaged properly when the range
is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping
of the range and cause injury.
Surface Units and Drip Pans
To clean the surface units, turn the control to the
highest setting for a minute. The coils will burn off
any soil.
CAUTION
• Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and
the surface units are cool before attempting to
remove them.
• Do not immerse the surface units in liquids
of any kind.
• Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.
• Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.
• Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair
the plug-in receptacle.
To remove a surface unit:
To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface
units must be removed first.
Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan
and pull it out.
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch.
If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when
you plug it back in.
Repeated lifting of the surface unit more
than 1 inch above the drip pan can permanently
damage the receptacle.
To replace a surface unit:
• Replace the drip pan into the recess in the
cooktop. Make sure opening in the pan lines up
with the receptacle.
• Insert the terminals of the surface unit through the
opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.
• Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.
Drip Pans
Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans.
For best results, clean the drip pans by hand.
Place them in a covered container (or a plastic bag)
with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub
with a soap filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse
with clean water and polish with a clean soft cloth.
The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Black drip pans (on some models) may be cleaned in
a self-cleaning oven after they have been thoroughly
rinsed. However, self-cleaning them may cause them
to lose their original luster and shine.
Clean the area under the drip pans often.
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.
Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil
so close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or
damage to the range.
Receptacle
Drip pan

Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.
Clean control panel with mild liquid dish detergent
and a soft cloth. Rub control panel lightly.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasives of any kind
on the control panel.
The control knobs may
be removed for easier
cleaning. To remove a
knob, pull it straight
off the stem. Wash the
knobs in soap and
water but do not soak.
Lift-Up Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil,
especially grease, may catch fire.
To make cleaning easier, the entire cooktop may be
lifted up and supported in the up position.
Be sure all surface units are turned off before
raising the cooktop. Grasp the front sides of the
cooktop and lift. (If you cannot raise the cooktop,
you may need to remove the shipping screws.
See “Remove Cooktop Shipping Screws” in the
Installation Instructions.) The surface units and drip
pans do not need to be removed before raising the
cooktop; however, you may remove one to make
raising the cooktop easier.
To lift the cooktop:
1. Remove all items
which may slide off
the cooktop.
2. With both hands,
grasp the front edge
of the cooktop.
3. Lift the cooktop.
4. Raise the support rod and let the cooktop rest on it.
Clean under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy water
and a clean cloth.
To lower the cooktop:
1. Lift the cooktop and lower the support rod.
2. Lower the cooktop and allow it to lock into position.
Cleaning Under the Range
The area under the range can be reached easily
for cleaning by removing the bottom drawer.
To remove, pull the drawer out all the way, tilt up the
front and remove it. To replace, insert glides at the
back of the drawer beyond the stop on range glides.
Lift the drawer if necessary to insert easily. Let the
front of the drawer down, then push in to close.

Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool
completely before removing or replacing.
To remove the light bulb:
1. Swing the wire to the side and hold.
2. Lift off the glass lens.
3. Remove the bulb.
To replace the light bulb:
1. Insert a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
2. Replace the lens over the socket.
3. Swing the wire over the glass lens.
4. Reconnect the electrical power to the range.
NOTE: The glass lens must be in place whenever
the oven is in use.
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 may be cleaned with a commercial
oven cleaner. Do not use an oven cleaner on the grid.
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.
Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in the self-
cleaning oven (on some models).
Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or
steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven (on some models). However, they
will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.
To make the shelves slide more easily apply a small
amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper
towel and wipe the edges of the oven shelves with
the paper towel.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable
if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any
acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use
a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away.
When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and
water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with
soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface
has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Lift-Off Oven Door
Most normal oven cleaning can be done without
removing the oven door. The door is heavy. You
may need help removing and replacing it. Do not
lift the door by the handle. This can cause the glass
to break or can cause damage to the door.
To remove the door:
1. Open the door all the way.
2. Pull up the lock on
both hinge supports.
Secure each lock in
the hook of the hinge
lever. You may have to
press down on the door
a bit to pull the locks
completely over the hooks.
3. Hold the door by the
sides. Pull the bottom
of the door up and
toward you to release
it from the hinges.
Keep pulling the
bottom of the door
toward you while
pushing the top of the
door toward the range.
Pull the door free of
the hinges.
To replace the door:
1. Position the door slots squarely over both hinges to
replace it. Make sure the hinge supports are completely
in position before unlocking the hinge levers.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of door: (not on self-cleaning models)
• Clean the inside of the oven window with a mild
non-scratching cleaner and a damp cloth.
• Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a
mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also
be used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar
or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut,
fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface.
They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
• If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner (not on
self-cleaning models). Follow the package directions.
Outside of door:
• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,
sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water
run down through openings in the top of the 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 such as steel wool pads on the
outside of the door.
Porcelain Oven Interior (JCS57—left side storage compartment only; JCP67—left oven only)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the
inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and
inside of the door—will stay new-looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning. We recommend
that you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a
mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also
be used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job
easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery
container in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
• Do not spray on the electrical controls and switches
because it could cause a short circuit and result in
sparking or fire.
• Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up
on the temperature sensor—it could cause the oven
to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top
of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after
each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
sensor as a change in its position could affect how
the oven bakes.
• Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door,
handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these
surfaces.

(continued next page)
You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C.
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz
electrical system. If you connect to aluminum
wiring, properly installed connectors
approved for use with aluminum wiring
must be used.
If the electrical service provided does not
meet the above specifications, have a
licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor
UL-listed range cord. These cords may be
provided with ring terminals on wire and
a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250
minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp
range cord is not recommended but if used,
it should be marked for use with nominal
1-3/8″ diameter connection openings. Care
should be taken to center the cable and
strain relief within the knockout hole to keep
the edge from damaging the cable.
• Because range terminals are not accessible
after range is in position, flexible service
conduit or cord must be used.
NOTE: If conduit is being used, see 3-WIRE
CONDUIT INSTALLATION or 4-WIRE
CONDUIT INSTALLATION.
• On some models, a filter capacitor may be
connected between the black and white
leads on the junction block.
ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS,

The figure below shows the recommended
installation relationship of the ranges to the
vertical walls of the surrounding structure.
Please note the following:
NOTE:
1. The back of the range may be installed
directly against the rear wall of the structure.
2. These ranges conform to UL requirements for
“0” spacing from the range to adjacent vertical
walls above the countertop level. However, to
reduce possible scorching of vertical walls and to
minimize potential fire hazards under abnormal
surface unit use conditions such as high heat or
no pans, a minimum of 2″ spacing should be
provided on both sides of the cooktop.
3. To eliminate the hazard of reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space
located above the surface units should be
avoided. If a cabinet is to be provided, the
hazard can be reduced by installing a range
hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5″
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
NOTE: There is a minimum 5″ clearance
required from the left side of the range to a wall.
This clearance is needed to open the left side
oven door or to remove the left oven shelf.
GENERAL
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over heated
surface elements, cabinets or storage spaces
should not be provided over a range.
If cabinets are provided, the hazard can be
reduced by installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5″ beyond the bottom
of the cabinets.
When installing the range between base cabinets,
refer to figure below for the size of the opening
needed. Do not seal the range to cabinets.
CAUTION: When unpacking the range, do not
discard the 4 shipping bolts as these are the
leveling legs.
If a service cord is used, the wall receptacle
should be located in accordance with the
dimensions below.

1. Unfold the paper template and place it flat on
the floor with the back and side edges positioned
exactly where the back and sides of the range will
be located when installed. (Use the diagram to
locate the brackets if the template is not available.)
2. Mark on the floor the location of the 4 mounting
holes shown on the template. For easier installation,
3/16″ diameter pilot holes, 1/2″ deep can be drilled
into the floor.
3. Remove the template and place the brackets
on the floor with turned up flanges to the front.
Line up the holes in the brackets with marks on
the floor and attach with the 4 screws provided.
Brackets must be secured to a solid floor. If
attaching to masonry floor, first drill 3/16″
diameter pilot holes using a concrete bit.
4. Level the range if necessary, by adjusting
the 4 leg levelers with a wrench. (A minimum
clearance of 1/8″ is required between the
bottom of the range and the rear leveling feet.)
5. Slide the range into place making sure
the rear legs are trapped by the ends of the
brackets. The range may need to be shifted
slightly to one side as it is being pushed back
to allow the rear legs to align with the brackets.
Remove the storage drawer to inspect brackets
or grasp the top rear edge of the range and
carefully attempt to tilt it forward to make sure
the range is properly anchored.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
This range must be properly secured to the
floor by using the included anti-tip brackets and
screws. Failure to install the brackets could allow
the range to accidentally tip over if excessive
weight is placed on an open door or if a child
climbs upon it. Serious injury might result from
spilled hot liquids or from the range itself. Refer
to the instructions below for proper installation.
NOTE: If the range is ever moved to a different
location, the anti-tip brackets must also be moved
and installed with the range.
