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.

■ Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent 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, 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.
■ 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 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

SURFACE BURNERS
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 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.
■ Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
■ 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.
■ Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation
of the range.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
■ 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.
■ 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 THE OVEN
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.
■ 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 drawer to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned
food, or combustible materials in the drawer.
■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or
near your drawer.
■ Do not warm food in the drawer for more
than two hours.
■ Do not touch the heating element or
the interior surface of the drawer. These
surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the 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.

■ 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 is not designed to slide.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■ 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 any 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 any broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
■ If you should have a grease fire in a broiler
pan, touch the Clear/Off pad, and keep
the oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out.
■ For safety and proper cooking performance,
always bake and broil with the oven door
closed.
■ The unit should not be operated in any mode
with the bake element removed.
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.

WARNING:
NEVER cover any
slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom
or cover an entire rack with materials such
as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are placed
in their respective positions.
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. When fast heating is desired, the flame
size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using.
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating
of the cookware and could be hazardous.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
■ Make sure all burners are in place.
■ Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed 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
Your gas range cooktop has five sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience,
cleanability and flexibility to be used in
a wide range of cooking applications.
The smallest burner in the right rear position is
the simmer burner. This burner can be turned
down to LO for a very low simmer setting. It
provides precise cooking performance for
delicate foods such as sauces or foods that
require low heat for a long cooking time.
The medium (left rear) and the large
(left front) burners are the primary burners for
most cooking. These general-purpose burners
can be turned down from HI to LO to suit a
wide range of cooking needs.
The extra large burner (right front) is the
maximum output burner. Like the other four
burners, it can be turned down from HI to LO
for a wide range of cooking applications;
however, this burner is designed to quickly
bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. It has
a special POWER BOIL
™
setting designed to
be used with cookware 10 inches or larger
in diameter.
The center oval burner (on some models) is
for large pots/pans or for use with the griddle.

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.
ge.com
Wok This Way
We recommend that you use a 14-inch or
smaller flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the
wok bottom sits flat on the grate. They are
available at your local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
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 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.

Most griddled foods require cooking
on a preheated surface. Preheat griddle
according to the guide below, then switch
to the desired cook setting.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
■ Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods and
be careful of grease spill-over while cooking.
■ Do not use oil on the griddle for extended
lengths of time. Permanent staining and/or
craze lines on the surface could result.
■ Never place or store any items on the
griddle, even when it is not in use. The
griddle can become heated when using
the surrounding burners.
■ Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the
griddle burner on at HI for an extended
amount of time without food can damage
the non-stick coating.
■ Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points
or rough sharp edges which might damage
the griddle surface.
■ Do not cut foods on the griddle.
Your non-stick coated griddle provides
an extra-large cooking surface for meats,
pancakes or other food usually prepared
in a frying pan or skillet.
NOTE: Your griddle will discolor over time
as it becomes seasoned with use.
How to Insert the Griddle

Using the upper 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 shelf supports
(A through E), 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.
Upper Oven Light
Touch the Oven Light pad on the upper
control panel to turn the light on or off.
On some models, the Oven Light switch
is on the lower front control panel.
Upper 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 or flammable items on
the cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left
too close to the vent.
■ Do not leave closed containers on the
cooktop. The pressure in closed containers
may increase, 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.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Baking or Roasting
Your oven is not designed for open-door
cooking.
Touch the Bake pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired temperature.
Touch the Start pad.
The word ON and 100° will be displayed.
As the oven heats up, the display will show
the changing temperature. When the oven
reaches the temperature you set, a tone
will sound.
To change the oven temperature during BAKE
cycle, press the Bake pad and then the
number pads to get the new temperature.
Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
Touch the Clear/Off pad when cooking
is complete.
Type of Food Shelf Position
Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) B or C
Angel food cake, A
bundt or pound cakes
Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C
cookies, cupcakes,
layer cakes, pies
Casseroles B or C
Roasting R or A
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 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.
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.
Using the upper oven.
ge.com
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
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.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid
in a broiler pan.
Follow suggested shelf positions in the
Broiling Guide.
The oven door must be closed during
broiling.
Touch the Broil Hi/Lo pad once for
Hi Broil.
To change to Lo Broil, touch the Broil
Hi/Lo pad again.
Touch the Start pad.
Broil Preheat – After touching Start,
the display will show preheat for
approximately 10 minutes. The gas bake
element will cycle on during preheat.
Place your food in the oven after the
preheat cycle has completed.
When broiling is finished, touch the
Clear/Off pad.
Serve the food immediately, and leave the
pan outside the oven to cool during the meal
for easiest cleaning.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
over-browning them.
The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature and
your preference of doneness
will affect broiling times. This
guide is based on meats at
refrigerator temperature.
†The U.S. Department of
Agriculture says “Rare beef is
popular, but you should know that
cooking it to only 140°F. means
some food poisoning organisms
may survive.” (Source: Safe Food
Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA
Rev. June 1985.)
The oven has 5 shelf positions.
Close the door. Always broil with
the door closed.

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.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the Bake and Broil Hi/Lo pads
at the same time for 3 seconds until the
display shows SF.
Touch the Bake pad. A two digit number
shows in the display.
Touch Bake once to decrease (-)
the oven temperature, or twice to
increase (+).
The oven temperature can be adjusted
up as much as 35°F. or down as much
as 35°F. Touch the number pads the
same way you read them. For example,
to change the oven temperature 15°F,
touch 1 and 5.
When you have made the adjustment,
touch the Start pad to go back to the
time of day display. Use your oven as
you would normally.
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.
Adjust the upper oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not
use to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal.
To Use the Warming Drawer
Touch the Warming Drawer pad.
“Warm” and “1” are lit on the display
and “Set” begins to blink.
On the number pad, press 1 for Low,
2 for Medium or 3 for High.
The display “1” changes corresponding
to the number pad selected.
Touch the Start pad.
“Warm” and the number remain lit.
“Set” stops blinking.
To cancel, touch the Warming Drawer pad.
NOTE: Touching the Clear/Off pad does not
turn the warming drawer off.
NOTES:
■ The warming drawer cannot be used during a
self-clean cycle.
■ The warming drawer has three settings: 1, 2 and
3. These settings maintain different temperature
levels in the warming drawer.
■ On some models, if using the oven at the same
time as the warming drawer, only the oven
settings will be displayed.
When Using the Warming Drawer
The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked
foods at serving temperature. Always start
with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food
other than crisping crackers, chips or dry
cereal.
Do not line the warming drawer or pan
with aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat
insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This
will upset the performance of the drawer
and could damage the interior finish.
Allow approximately 25 minutes for the
warming drawer to preheat.
■ Do not put liquid or water in the
warming drawer.
■ For moist foods, cover them with a lid
or aluminum foil.
■ For crisp foods, leave them uncovered.
■ Food should be kept hot in its cooking
container or transferred to a heat-safe
serving dish.
CAUTION: Plastic containers or plastic wrap
will melt if in direct contact with the drawer,
pan or a hot utensil. Melted plastic may not
be removable and is not covered under your
warranty.
■ Remove serving spoons, etc., before
placing containers in warming drawer.

To keep several different foods hot, set
the control to the food needing the highest
setting.
■ The temperature, type and amount of
food, and the time held will affect the
quality of the food.
■ Food in heat-safe glass and glass-ceramic
utensils may need a higher control setting
as compared to food in metal utensils.
■ Repeated opening of the drawer allows the
hot air to escape and the food to cool.
■ Allow extra time for the temperature inside
the drawer to stabilize after adding items.
■ With large loads it may be necessary to
use a higher warming drawer setting and
cover some of the cooked food items.
■ Do not use plastic containers or
plastic wrap.
CAUTION: Do not keep food in the warming
drawer for more than two hours.

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from the
oven—they cannot withstand the high
cleaning temperatures.
NOTE:
■ If your oven is equipped with oven
shelves, remove them before you begin
the self-clean cycle.
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 scouring 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.
NOTE: Use caution when opening the oven
after the self-clean cycle has ended. The oven
may still be hot.
CAUTION: The unit should not be operated in
any mode with the bake element removed.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Touch the Self Clean pad.
Using the number pads, enter the
desired clean time, if a time other than
5 hours is needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 5 hours.
You can change the clean time to any time
between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending on
how dirty your oven is.
Touch the Start pad.
The door locks automatically. The display
will show the clean time remaining. It will

Griddle (on some models)
NOTES:
■ The griddle is to be used over the center
burner only.
■ Do not clean the griddle in a dishwasher.
■ Wash with hot, soapy water after each use
while using a sponge or dishcloth.
■ If oil or food residue is left on the griddle,
further cooking will harden the residue and
cause sticking over time. In this case, use a
non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami
®
or
one of the soft scrub cleansers. Apply with
a sponge, Scrunge
®
or other cleaning pad
labeled safe for non-stick pans
■ Use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils
or SilverStone
®
kitchen tools to prevent
marring of the coating.
■ Never use knives or cut food on the griddle.
Wash with hot, soapy water after each use.
Store carefully to prevent scratching.
Griddle Precautions:
■ 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 as soon as it is cool. Clean
with hot soapy water.
■ Do not place your griddle in the microwave.
■ Always turn off all surface burners before
removing the griddle. Use caution when
handling a hot griddle.

Burner Caps and Heads
Before removing the burner caps and heads,
remember their size and location. Replace
them in the same location after cleaning.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring
powders to clean the burner parts.
Burner caps
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot,
soapy water and rinse with clean water. You
may scour with a plastic scouring pad to
remove burned-on food particles.
Burner Heads and Oval (Center) Burner
Head/Cap Assembly
The burner heads and the oval burner
head/cap assembly are removable.
Simply lift them off the range for cleaning.
For proper ignition, make sure the
small hole in the section that fits over the
electrode is kept open. A sewing needle
or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it.
The slits in the burner heads must be kept
clean at all times for an even, unhampered
flame.
Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes
will not allow the burner to operate properly.
Any spill on or around an electrode must
be carefully cleaned. Take care to not hit an
electrode with anything hard or it could be
damaged.
Clean the burner heads routinely, especially
after bad spillovers, which could clog the
openings. Lift off when cool.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner
heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent
and hot water for 20–30 minutes. For more
stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.
After cleaning
Before putting the burner caps, heads and
oval head/cap assembly back, shake out
excess water and then dry them thoroughly
by setting in a warm oven for 30 minutes.
Replacement

Cooktop Surface
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,
etc., wash with soap and water once the
surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish
with a dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the
cooktop can lead to damage and improper
operation of the range.
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials
in an oven, drawer or near the cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
(on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use
warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner
or polish. Always wipe the surface in the
direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface.
To inquire about purchasing stainless steel
appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the
location of a dealer nearest you, please call

Burner Grates
Your range has three professional-style
double grates. These grates are position-
specific. For maximum stability, these
grates should only be used in their proper
position; they cannot be interchanged left to
right or front to back. For convenience, the
undersides of the left and right grates are
marked “LEFT FRONT” and “RIGHT FRONT.”
Make sure the front portion of both grates is
in front. The middle grate has a bow in front.
Make sure the bowed portion is toward the
front of the range.
Cleaning
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. Replace the grates so that
continuous arcs are formed with the
center ribs of all three grates.
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 get rid of burned-on food, place the grates
in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia
and let them soak several hours or overnight.
Wash, rinse well and dry.
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.
The grates may be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
Appearance may vary.

Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven Air Vents
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.
Control Panel
On models so equipped, lock out the touch
pads before cleaning.
See the Control Lockout information in the
Special features of your oven control section
in this manual.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
You may also use a glass cleaner.
Remove heavier soil with warm soapy water.
Do not use abrasives of any kind.
Unlock the touch pads after cleaning.
Vent appearance and location vary.
Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth
to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap
and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. For rinsing, use clean water. Polish dry
with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control panel—they will
damage the finish.
Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up
or down or by hanging a towel or other such
loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions
and pull them straight off the stems for
cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher
or they may also be washed with soap and
water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are
dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position
to ensure proper placement.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and
water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives,
ammonia, acids or commercial oven
cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.

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 plastic
scouring 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.
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.
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 scouring pad.
Rinse well to remove any soap before self-
cleaning.

Oven Shelves and Drawer Racks
If your oven is equipped with nickel oven
shelves, they should be removed from the
oven before beginning the self-clean cycle.
To clean the nickel shelves, use an abrasive
cleanser. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth. If the
shelves ever become hard to slide, wipe the
shelf edges or oven shelf supports with
vegetable oil.

doesn’t fall when released. With fingers
of the same hand, firmly push back the
wire cover holder. Lift off the cover.
Do not remove any screws to remove
the cover.
Do not touch hot bulb with a wet cloth.
Replace bulb with a 40-watt household
appliance bulb.
To replace cover:
Place it into the groove of the light
receptacle. Pull the wire forward to the
center of the cover until it snaps into
place. When in place, the wire holds the
cover firmly. Be certain the wire is in the
depression in the center of the cover.
Connect electrical power to the range.

Oven Heating Elements
CAUTION: The unit should not be operated in
any mode with the bake element removed.
Do not clean the bake element or the broil
element. Any soil will burn off when the
elements are heated.
Only remove the oven heating element
to clean up large spills. Clean around the
elements when cleaning up small spills.
To clean the oven floor, remove the two
screws securing the bake element to the
back of the oven and remove the element.

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.
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.)
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the
burners are properly seated and level.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or
drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose
during shipping.

Installation Instructions
PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
1
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5″ 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 5″ 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
2
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 a CSA International-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.
A. 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.
B. Install male 1/2″ flare union adapter to the 1/2″ NPT
internal thread at inlet of 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.
C. 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.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
E. 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical Requirements
You must use a 120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded
dedicated circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp
circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safety hazards associated with
certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension
cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in
amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the 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.
Preferred
Method
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
3
A. 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.
Temporary Method
Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use

B. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will be
Disconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because
disconnecting 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.

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.

The oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically.
To operate the oven, touch the BAKE pad and then touch
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.
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.

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 the burner, loosen the
Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter toward open
or closed position as needed.
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:
A. Remove the two screws securing the bake element
to the back of the oven and remove the element.
B. Remove the screws holding down rear of the
oven bottom.
C. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side.
