WARNING!
n Have your range installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance
with the Installation Instructions. Any
adjustment and service should be performed
only by qualified gas range installers or service
technicians.
n Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
n Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have an ungrounded
outlet replaced with a properly grounded,
three-prong outlet in accordance with the
National Electrical Code. Do not use an
extension cord with this appliance.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
n Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air
circulation.
n Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging
material ignite.
n 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.
n
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.
n 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.
n Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They could
be seriously burned.
n Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
the oven door, storage drawer, warming drawer
or cooktop. They could damage the range and
even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
n
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.
n 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.
n Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
a range storage drawer, a warming drawer or
near a cooktop.
n Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
n Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
n 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.
n 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.
n Flame in the oven or warming drawer can be
smothered completely by closing the oven
door and turning the control to off or by using
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
n Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
n 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, kick panel or
storage drawer.
n Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can
lead to broken or shattered glass.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING: use this
appliance as a space heater to heat or warm
the room. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the
oven.
n Always use the LITE position when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.
n Never leave the surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
n Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
n 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.
n When using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for top-of-range cooking.
n 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.
n Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame
setting.
n Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
n 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.
n If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
n Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking
point.
n 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.
n Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame
foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
n 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.
n 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.
n Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
n Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—they
may melt if left too close to the vent.
n Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
n 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.
n If range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and create a fire hazard.
n 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.
n Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
n Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models.
Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and
improper operation of the range.

n Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items
stored in the oven can ignite.
n Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
n Place the oven racks in the desired position
while the oven is cool.
n Pulling out the rack 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.
n Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.
n 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.
n When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
n Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. If
overheated, they can catch fire.
n Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens.
n 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.
n When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,
the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
n Make sure any broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
n 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.
n For safety and proper cooking performance,
always bake and broil with the oven door
closed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING: 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
n Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
n Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
the racks, any broiler pan, grid and other
cookware.
n 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.
n Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
n If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
n 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.
GEAppliances.com
n 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.
n Do not use the warming drawer to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they can catch
on fire.
n Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or
food in the warming drawer when not
in use.
n Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings
in or near your warming drawer.
n Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your warming drawer.
n Do not warm food in the warming drawer
for more than two hours.
n Do not touch the heating element or the
interior surface of the warming drawer.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
n REMEMBER: The inside surface of the warming
drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.
n 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.
n Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer.
The foil will trap heat below, and upset the
performance of the oven. Foil can melt and
permanently damage the drawer bottom.
Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is
not covered by the prouct warranty.

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.

Before Lighting a Gas Burner After Lighting a Gas Burner
n Drip pans are supplied with your range; they
should be used at all times.
n Make sure all burners are in place.
n Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any burner.
n 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.
n 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 four sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience 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 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, on some models, left
front) and the large (right front and, on some
models, 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.
NOTE: On some models, the burners are all the
same size and power.
How to Select Flame Size
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.

Use a flat-bottomed wok.
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.
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.
Wok This Way
We recommend that you use a 14″ 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 flat-bottomed wok on a support
ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate
may cause the burner to work improperly,
resulting in carbon monoxide levels above
allowable standards. This could be dangerous
to your health.
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.

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.

Using the oven.
Before you begin…
The racks have stop-locks, so that when placed
correctly on the rack supports (A through E),
they will stop before coming completely out,
and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware, pull the
rack out to the bump on the rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-
locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push
the rack in.
NOTE:
The oven has 5 rack positions.
It also has a special low rack
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 relit 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.

Press the Oven Light On/Off pad on the lower
control panel to turn the light on or off.
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.

Using the upper oven. GEAppliances.com
How to Set the Upper Oven for Baking or Roasting
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.
Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when cooking
is complete.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary when
convection baking and for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
Baking results will be better if foods are
centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans
should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven.
For best results when baking four cake layers
at a time, use racks B and D. Place the lower
pans at the back of the rack and the upper
pans at the front of the rack as shown so that
one pan is not directly above another leaving
approximately 1-1/2″ between pans, from the
front, back and sides of the walls.
The oven has a special low rack (R)
position just above the oven bottom.
Use it when extra cooking space is
needed, for example, when cooking a
large turkey. The rack is not designed
to slide out at this position.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.
The foil will trap heat below and upset the
performance of the oven. Foil can melt and
permanently damage the oven bottom.
Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is
not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a
sheet on a lower rack, several inches below
the food .Do not use more foil than necessary
and never entirely cover an oven rack with
aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from
oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

When baking on a single rack, use
the rack position from the chart for
your type of food. Baking results will
be better if baking pans are centered
in the oven as much as possible.
When baking four cake layers at a
time, use racks B and D. Place the
lower pans at the back of the rack and
the upper pans to the front of the rack
shown so that one pan is not directly

Broiling Guide
Using the oven.
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
NOTE: OVEN TEMP
BROIL
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a
broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack 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/On pad.
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
overbrowning 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 rack positions.
**In general, higher rack positions
yield darker external searing
and lower positions yield more
doneness.
*Due to the variety of meats and cuts available, you may select alternate rack positions based on personal
preference of doneness and external searing. See illustration for description of rack positions.

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.
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Care and cleaning of the range.
WARNING:
Drip Pans
Remove the grates and lift out the drip pans.
Drip pans can be cleaned in a dishwasher or
by hand.
When replacing the drip pans, make sure they
are in the correct position.
Place them in a covered container. Add
1/4 cup ammonia and let soak several hours or
overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.
CAUTION:
Burner Grates
Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash
them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water. When replacing the grates, be sure they
are positioned securely over the burners.
On models with professional-style double
grates, the 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.”
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:
Turn all controls OFF before removing the
burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates, caps, burner heads and drip
pans (if so equipped) can be lifted off, making
them easy to clean.
CAUTION:
NOTE:
The electrode of the spark igniter is
exposed when the burner head is
removed. 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.

Turn all controls OFF before removing burner
parts and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates and drip pans (if so equipped)
can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.
The holes in the surface burners of your range
must be kept clean at all times for proper
ignition and an even, unhampered flame.
You should clean the surface burners routinely,
especially after bad spillovers, which could clog
these holes.
Wipe off surface burners. If heavy spillover
occurs, remove the surface burners from the
range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the
cooktop and then lift out the surface burners.
To remove burned-on food, soak the surface
burner in a solution of mild liquid detergent and
hot water. Soak the surface burner for 20 to 30
minutes.
For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like
Soft Scrub
®
brand or Bon Ami
®
brand. Rinse well
to remove any traces of the cleanser that might
clog the surface burner openings.
Do not use steel wool because it will clog the
surface burner openings and scratch the
surface burners. If the holes become clogged,
clean them with a sewing needle or twist-tie.
Before putting the surface burner back, shake
out excess water and then dry it thoroughly by
setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then
place it back in the range, making sure it is
properly seated and level.
Check the flame pattern of each burner. If the
flames are “jumpy” (not steady), clean the holes
again with a sewing needle or twist-tie.

Burner Caps and Heads
NOTE:
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
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.
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.
You should clean the burner caps and burner
heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers,
which could clog the openings in the burner
heads. 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 and heads back,
shake out excess water and then dry them
thoroughly by setting in a warm oven for 30
minutes.
NOTE:
Replacement
Replace burner heads over the electrodes
on the cooktop, in the correct locations
according to their size.
On some models:
On some models:
Make sure the slot in the burner head is
positioned over the electrode.
Replace the matching size caps onto the heads.
Make sure that the heads and caps are

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, wash
with soap and water once the surface has
cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Stainless Steel Surfaces
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.

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, storage drawer or kick panel
(depending on the model).
Vent appearance and location
vary.
Lift-Up Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop often.
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on
fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be
lifted up.
NOTE:
To raise the cooktop:
Be sure the burners are turned off.
Remove the grates.
Grasp the two front burner wells and lift
up.
Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy water
and a clean cloth. If you removed your surface
burners while cleaning, make sure they are
properly seated when replacing them.
After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be careful
not to pinch your fingers).
Some models have dual support
rods that will hold the cooktop up
while you clean underneath it.
Care and cleaning of the range.
Lift-Off Oven 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:
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:
n Do not allow excess water to run into any
holes or slots in the door .
n 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.
n The area outside the gasket can be cleaned
with a soap-filled scouring pad.
To clean the outside of the door:
n 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.
n 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.
n Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders
or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
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 rack below the rack 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 airflow 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.
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.

32
Care and cleaning of the range.
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 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.
Pull the knob straight off the stem.
Heavy-Duty Oven Racks
Clean the racks with an abrasive cleanser.
The oven racks may be cleaned in the self-
cleaning oven. However, the racks will darken in
color, lose their luster and become hard to slide
if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.
To make the racks slide more easily, apply a
small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to
a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven
racks with the paper towel.

n 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.
n 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.
n Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the
oven can ignite.
n Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range.

This range comes from the factory set for use on natural
gas, but it is convertible for use on LP 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.
For proper operation, the inlet pressure to the regulator
should be at least 1” W.C. above the operating manifold
pressure but must not exceed 14” W.C.
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. When checking
for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure
must be at least 1” greater than the operating manifold
pressure.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of ½”
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.
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.
B. 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.
*Teflon: Registered trademark of DuPont
DO NOT USE A FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
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.)

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or
time-delay fuse.
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 branch circuit rating.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-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 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall receptacle.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) 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 GFCIs 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.
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 2-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.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use
Align large prongs/slots
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.
Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be checked
after the range and gas supply lines have been carefully
checked for leaks.
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in and turn
to LITE position. You will hear a 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 position. Try each
burner in succession until all burners have been checked.
The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be
determined visually.
With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.
n
Remove the 2 screws at the rear of the oven bottom.
n
Grasp the oven bottom at slots on each side.
n
Lift the rear enough to clear the lip of the range frame,
push it back, and then pull it up and out.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because
disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on
the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter
ground terminal. The customer should have the 2-prong
wall receptacle replaced with a 3-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.
n Locate disconnect plug on the range back.
n Pinch sides of connector and pull out of range back.
Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and
in the floor under the range when hookups are completed.

B. To operate the Bake burner, press the Bake pad and then
press the number pads until 350 appears in the display. Press
the Start/On pad. After 30 to 90 seconds, the burner will ignite.
Flames should be steady, approximately 1” blue cones and, if
range is supplied with natural gas, should burn with no yellow
tips. With most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer gas
cones are normal. The inner cone of the flame should be ½” to
¾” long for either gas.
C. Perform the same check on the broil burner by touching the
Broil Hi/Lo pad and then the Start/On pad.
A. Install the oven racks in the oven and position
the range where it will be installed.
