Care & Cleaning

Self-Clean Oven (select models)

Important: For manual clean oven, see page 7.

CAUTION

• It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle.
• To prevent personal injury and damage to the oven door do not attempt to open door when “LOCK” is displayed.
• Avoid touching cooktop, door, window or oven vent area during a clean cycle.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish or around any part of the oven. They will damage the finish or parts.

The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures to automatically clean the oven interior. Do not force the oven door or lock lever open. This may result in exposure to high temperatures and be a burn hazard.

The oven should be cleaned regularly by wiping up spillovers to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups. Do not allow a heavy build-up of soil to accumulate in the oven.

Brand names for cleaning products are registered trademarks of the respective manufacturers.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

Before Self-Cleaning

1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn out during the clean cycle.

2. Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.

3. Clean oven frame, door frame, area outside of gasket, and around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The self- cleaning process does not clean these areas. They should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle. (The gasket is the seal around the oven door and window.)

4. To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

5. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom. This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle.

6. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up before a self- clean cycle.

Important: Oven temperature must be below 400° F to program a clean cycle.

To set Self-Clean:

1. Close the oven door.

2. Move door lock lever right to the locked position.

3. Press the Clean pad.

• The clean time will appear in the display.

To cancel the Self-Clean cycle:

Press the CANCEL pad.

• All words disappear from the display.
• All functions are canceled.
• The time of day appears in the display.

During the Self-Clean cycle

When LOCK shows in the display, the door cannot be opened.

To prevent damage to the door, do not force the door open when LOCK is displayed.

Smoke and Smells

You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time.

Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a broiler pan was left in the oven.

Sounds

As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage the oven.

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK will turn off. The door can then be opened. Move door lock lever to the left to unlock.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be re- moved during the next clean cycle.

If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to move.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not affect performance.

A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean cycle. This discoloration is normal and will not affect performance.

Notes:

• If the oven door is left open, “DOOR” will flash in the display and a signal will beep until the door is closed and the Clean pad is pressed again.
• If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the Clean pad and the More+ or Less- pad, the program will automatically return to the previous display.
• The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is forced to open when “LOCK” is still displayed.

Cleaning Procedures

CAUTION

• Be sure appliance is off and all parts are cool before handling or cleaning. This is to avoid damage and possible burns.
• To prevent staining or discoloration, clean appliance after each use.
• If a part is removed, be sure it is correctly replaced.

Broiler Pan and Insert

Never cover insert with aluminum foil as this prevents the fat from draining to the pan below.

• Place soapy cloth over insert and pan; let soak to loosen soil.
• Wash in warm soapy water. Use scouring pad to remove stubborn soil.
• Broiler pan and insert can be cleaned in dishwasher.

Sealed Gas Burners

• Clean frequently. Allow burner to cool. Clean with soap and plastic scouring pad. For stubborn soils, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a cloth. Try to prevent the cleaner from seeping into the gas ports as this will affect the flame. If the cleaner does enter the ports, clean with a soft bristle brush or a straight pin especially the port below the ignitor. Do not enlarge or distort holes.
• Be careful not to get water into burner ports.
• Use care when cleaning the ignitor. If the ignitor is wet or damaged the surface burner will not light.

Burner Grates

• Wash grates with warm, soapy water and a nonabrasive, plastic scrubbing pad. For stubborn soils, clean with a soap-filled, nonabrasive pad or a sponge and Cooktop Cleaning Creme (Part #20000001).**
• For burned on soils, remove grates, place on newspapers and carefully spray with commercial oven cleaner. (Do not spray surrounding surfaces.) Place in plastic bags for several hours or overnight. Wearing rubber gloves, remove from bags. Wash, rinse, dry and replace on cooktop.

Clock and Control Pad Area

• To activate “Control Lock” for cleaning, see page 14.
• Wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as they may scratch the finish.
• Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a cloth first. DO NOT spray directly on control pad and display area.

Control Knobs

• Remove knobs in the OFF position by pulling forward.
• Wash, rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as they may scratch the finish.
• Turn on each burner to be sure the knobs have been correctly replaced.

Cooktop and Control Panel - Porcelain Enamel

Porcelain enamel is glass fused on metal and may crack or chip with misuse. It is acid resistant, not acid proof. All spillovers, especially acidic or sugary spillovers, should be wiped up imme- diately with a dry cloth.

• When cool, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.
• Never wipe off a warm or hot surface with a damp cloth. This may cause cracking or chipping.
• Never use oven cleaners, abrasive or caustic cleaning agents on exterior finish of range.

Side Panels, Storage Drawer, Lower Broiler Door (select models) and Door Handles - Painted Enamel

• When cool, wash with warm soapy water, rinse and dry.
• Never wipe a warm or hot surface with a damp cloth as this may damage the surface and may cause a steam burn.
• For stubborn soil, use mildly abrasive cleaning agents such as baking soda paste or Bon Ami*. Do not use abrasive cleaners such as steel wool pads or oven cleaners. These products will scratch or permanently damage the surface.

Important: Use a dry towel or cloth to wipe up spills, especially acidic or sugary spills. Surface may discolor or dull if soil is not immediately removed. This is especially important for white surfaces.

Oven Window and Door - Glass

• Avoid using excessive amounts of water which may seep under or behind glass, causing staining. Wash with soap and water. Rinse with clear water and dry. Glass cleaner can be used if sprayed on a cloth first.
• Do not use abrasive materials such as scouring pads, steel wool or powdered cleaners as they will scratch glass.

Oven Interior

Self-Clean:

• Follow instructions on page 4-5 to set a self-clean cycle.

Manual Clean:

• Clean frequently using mild abrasive cleaners and a plastic pad.
• Do not use metallic scouring pads because they will scratch the surface.
• When using commercial oven cleaners follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Wipe up acidic spills (tomato or milk based foods) as soon as possible with soap and water. If the spill is not wiped up, it may discolor the porcelain. To make cleaning easier, remove the oven door if desired. (See Maintenance section below.)

Oven Racks

• Clean with soapy water.
• Remove stubborn soil with cleansing powder or soap- filled scouring pad. Rinse and dry.
• Racks will permanently discolor and may not slide out smoothly if left in the oven during a self-clean operation. If this occurs, wipe the rack and embossed rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to restore ease of movement, then wipe off excess oil.

Stainless Steel (select models)

• DO NOT USE ANY CLEANING PRODUCT CONTAINING CHLORINE BLEACH.
• DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR ORANGE CLEANERS.
• ALWAYS WIPE WITH THE GRAIN WHEN CLEANING.
• Daily Cleaning/Light Soil –– Wipe with one of the following - soapy water, white vinegar/water solution, Formula 409 Glass and Surface Cleaner* or a similar glass cleaner - using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse and dry. To polish and help prevent fingerprints, follow with Stainless Steel Magic Spray* (Part No. 20000008)**.

Important: The oven door on a new range may feel “spongy” when it is closed. This is normal and will decrease with use.

Oven Window

To protect the oven door window:

1. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as steel wool scouring pads or powdered cleansers as they may scratch the glass.
2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or other objects.
3. Do not close the oven door until the oven racks are in place.

Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased risk of breakage at a later date.

Leveling Legs

CAUTION

Be sure the anti-tip bracket secures one of the rear leveling legs to the floor. This bracket prevents the range from accidentally tipping.

Be sure the range should be leveled when installed. If the range is not level, turn the leveling legs (located at each corner of the range) until range is level.

Oven Light

CAUTION

• Disconnect power to range before replacing light bulb.
• Use a dry potholder to prevent possible harm to hands when replacing bulb.
• Be sure bulb is cool before touching bulb.
• Do not touch hot bulb with a damp cloth as this may cause the bulb to break.

To Replace Oven Light Bulb:

1. When oven is cool, hold bulb cover in place, then slide wire retainer off cover. Important Bulb cover will fall if not held in place while removing wire retainer.

2. Remove bulb cover and light bulb.

3. Replace with a 40-watt appliance bulb.

4. Replace bulb cover and secure with wire retainer.

5. Reconnect power to range. Reset clock.

Electrical Connection

Appliances which require electrical power are equipped with a three- prong grounding plug which must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-hole 120 volt electrical outlet.

Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing.

The three-prong grounding plug offers protection against shock hazards. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG.

If an ungrounded, two-hole or other type electrical outlet is encountered, it is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to have the outlet replaced with a properly grounded three-hole electrical outlet.

Removal of Gas Appliance

Gas appliance connectors used to connect this appliance to the gas supply are not designed for continuous movement. Once installed, DO NOT repeatedly move this gas appliance for cleaning or to relocate. If this appliance has to be moved and/or removed for servicing, follow the procedure described in the installation instructions. For information, contact Maytag Customer Assistance at 1-800-688-9900 USA or Canada.

To prevent range from accidentally tipping, range must be secured to the floor by sliding rear leveling leg into the anti- tip bracket.

Storage Drawer (select models)

CAUTION

3. Lift drawer up ag closed.

Oven Bottom

Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers.

Troubleshooting

For most concerns, try these first.

• Check if oven controls have been properly set.
• Check to be sure plug is securely inserted into receptacle.
• Check or reset circuit breaker. Check or replace fuse.
• Check power supply.

Surface burner fails to light.

• Check to be sure unit is properly connected to power supply.
• Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker.
• Check to be sure ignitor is dry and clicking. Burner will not light if ignitor is damaged, soiled or wet. If ignitor doesn’t click, turn control knob OFF.

The flame is uneven.

• Burner ports may be clogged.

Surface burner flame lifts off ports.

• Check to be sure a pan is sitting on the grate above.

Baking results are not as expected or differ from previous oven.

• Check the oven temperature selected. Make sure oven is preheated when recipe or directions recommend preheat.
• Make sure the oven vent has not been blocked. See page for location.
• Check to make sure range is level.
• Temperatures often vary between a new oven and an old one. As ovens age, the oven temperature often “drifts” and may become hotter or cooler. See pages 17-18 for instructions on adjusting the oven temperature (select models).

Important: It is not recommended to adjust the temperature if only one or two recipes are in question.

• Use correct pan. Dark pans produce dark browning. Shiny pans produce light browning.
• Check rack positions and pan placement. Stagger pans when using two racks. Allow 1-2 inches between pans and oven wall.
• Check the use of foil in the oven. Never use foil to cover an entire oven rack. Place a small piece of foil on the rack below the pan to catch spillovers.

Food is not broiling properly or smokes excessively.

• Check oven rack positions. Food may be too close to flame.
• Aluminum foil was incorrectly used. Never line the broiler insert with foil.
• Trim excess fat from meat before broiling.
• A soiled broiler pan was used.
• Preheat oven for 2-3 minutes before placing food in the oven.
• Broil with the oven door closed.

Oven will not self-clean. (select models)

• Check to make sure the cycle is not set for a delayed start. See page 5.
• Check if door is closed.
• Check if control is in Sabbath Mode. See page 17.
• Oven may be over 400° F. Oven temperature must be below 400° F to program a clean cycle.

Oven did not clean properly. (select models)

• Longer cleaning time may be needed.
• Excessive spillovers, especially sugary and/or acidic foods, were not removed prior to the self-clean cycle.

Oven door will not unlock after self-clean cycle select models).

• Oven interior is still hot. Allow about one hour for the oven to cool after the completion of a self-clean cycle. The door can be opened when “LOCK” is not displayed.
• The control and door may be locked. See pages 5 and 14 to unlock.

Moisture collects on oven window or steam comes from oven vent.

• This is normal when cooking foods high in moisture.
• Excessive moisture was used when cleaning the window.

There is a strong odor or light smoke when oven is turned on.

• This is normal for a new range and will disappear after a few uses. Initiating a clean cycle will “burn off” the odors more quickly.
• Turning on a ventilation fan will help remove the smoke and/or odor.
• Excessive food soils on the oven bottom. Use a self-clean cycle.

Fault Codes (select models).

• BAKE or LOCK may flash rapidly in the display to alert you if there is an error or a problem. If BAKE or LOCK appear in the display, press the CANCEL pad. If BAKE or LOCK continue to flash, disconnect power to the appliance. Wait a few minutes, and then reconnect power. If the flashing still continues, disconnect power to the appliance and call an authorized servicer.
• If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive flareups may result in a fault code during cleaning. Press the CANCEL pad and allow the oven to cool completely, wipe out excess soil, then reset the clean cycle. If the fault code reappears, contact an authorized servicer.

Noises may be heard.

• The oven makes several low level noises. You may hear the oven relays as they go on and off. This is normal.
• As the oven heats and cools, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage your appliance.

There are no beeps and no display.

• Oven may be in Sabbath Mode. See page 17.

"SAb” flashing and then displayed continuously.

• Oven is in Sabbath Mode. To cancel, press and hold the Clock pad for five seconds.

Surface Cooking

Surface Controls

CAUTION

• If flame should go out during a cooking operation, turn the burner off. If a strong gas odor is detected, open a window and wait five minutes before relighting the burner.
• Be sure all surface controls are set in the OFF position before supplying gas to the range.
• NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some parts of the cooktop, especially around the burners, to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.

Pilotless Ignition

Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a constant standing pilot light. There are two ignitors for conventional surface burners. Each sealed burner has a spark ignitor. When cleaning around the surface burner, use care. If cleaning cloth should catch the ignitor, it could damage it preventing ignition.

If the surface burner does not light, check if ignitor is broken, soiled or wet. If clogged, clean the small port beneath the ignitor using a straight pin.

Surface Control Knobs

Use to turn on the surface burners. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from LO to HI. At the HI setting a detent or notch may be felt. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings.

Graphics next to the knob identify which burner the knob controls. For example, the graphic at left shows the left front burner location.

HI: Use to bring liquid to a boil, or reach pressure in a pressure cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.

MED: An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking. Food will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.

LO: Use to simmer foods, keep foods warm and melt chocolate or butter. Some cooking may take place on the

LO setting if the pan is covered.

Setting the controls:

The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting.

1. Place a pan on the burner grate.

• The burner flame may lift off or appear separated from the port if a pan is not placed on the grate.

2. Push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to the LITE setting.

• A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner will light. (All four ignitors will spark when any surface burner knob is turned to the LITE position.)

3. After the burner lights, turn knob to desired flame size.

• The ignitor will continue to spark until the knob is turned past the LITE position.

Operating During a Power Failure

CAUTION

When lighting the surface burners, be sure all of the controls are in the OFF position. Strike the match first and hold it in position before turning the knob to LITE.

1. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to LITE.
3. Once lit, adjust the flame to the desired level.

Cooktop

To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining:

• Clean cooktop after each use.

• Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has cooled as these spills may discolor the porcelain.

Unlike a range with standard gas burners, this cooktop does not lift-up nor is it removable. Do not attempt to lift the cooktop for any reason.

Sealed Burners

The sealed burners of your range are secured to the cooktop and are not designed to be removed. Since the burners are sealed into the cooktop, boilovers or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. However, the burner should be cleaned after each use. (See page 6 for cleaning directions.)

High Performance Burner (12,000 BTU*)

There is one high speed burner on your range, located in the right front position. This burner offers higher speed cooking that can be used to quickly bring water to a boil and for large- quantity cooking.

Simmer Burner

This burner is located in the left rear position. The simmer burner offers a lower BTU* flame for delicate sauces or for melting chocolate.

BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.

Burner Grates

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking.

Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping of the cooktop.

Do not operate the burners without a pan on the grate.

The grate’s porcelain finish may chip without a pan to absorb the heat from the burner flame.

Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the gas flame.

Drip Pans - Optional

Removeable porcelain covered drip pans are available for use with this appliance to help contain spills. Call 1-800-688-8408 to order.

Notes:

• A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds. If using natural gas, the flame will be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.
• If the burner flame is yellow or is noisy, the air/gas mixture may be incorrect. Contact a service technician to adjust. (Adjustments are not covered by the warranty.)
• With LP gas, slight yellow tips on the flames are acceptable. This is normal and adjustment is not necessary.
• With some types of gas, you may hear a “popping” sound when the surface burner is turned off. This is a normal operating sound of the burner.
• If the control knob is turned very quickly from HI to LO, the flame may go out, particularly if the burner is cold. If this occurs, turn the knob to the OFF position, wait several seconds and relight the burner.
• The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning differences between a new oven and an old one. As ranges get older, the oven temperature can shift.

You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to change the temperature, set the temperature 25° higher or lower than your recipe recommends, then bake. The results of the “test” should give you an idea of how much to adjust the temperature.

To adjust the oven temperature:

1. Press Bake.

2. Enter 550° by pressing the More+ pad.

3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several seconds or until 0° appears in the display.

If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the change will be displayed. For example, if the oven tem- perature was reduced by 15° the display will show “-15°”.

4. Press the More+ or Less- pad to adjust the temperature.

Each time a pad is pressed, the temperature changes by 5° . The oven temperature can be increased or decreased by 5° to 35°.

5. The time of day will automatically reappear in the display.

You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there is a power failure or interruption. Broiling and cleaning temperatures cannot be adjusted.

Pilotless Ignition

Your range is equipped with pilotless ignition. With this type of ignition system, the gas automatically shuts off and the oven will not operate during a power failure.

A lighted match will not light the oven burner. No attempt should be made to operate the oven during a power failure.

Oven Vent

When the oven is in use, the area near the vent may become hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.

The oven vent is located below the backguard vent shield on your range.

Do not place plastics near the vent opening as heat from the vent could distort or melt the plastic.

Oven Light

Press the Oven Light switch to turn the oven light on and off.

Oven Bottom

Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Never place utensils or foil directly on the oven bottom.

Oven Racks

CAUTION
