IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a
list of substances known to the state to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
•Knowwhichknobcontrolseachsurfaceburner.
Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on,
and turn the burner off before removing the pan.
•AlwaysturnknobtothefullLITEpositionwhen
igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has
lit. Then adjust the ame so it does not extend beyond
the edge of the utensil.
•Utensilhandlesshouldbeturnedinwardandnot
extend over adjacent surface burnersTo reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface burners.
•Neverleavesurfaceburnersunattendedathigh
heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
•Glazedcookingutensils—Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top
use.
•Whenamingfoodsunderaventilatinghood,
turn the fan on.
•Aircurtainorotheroverheadrangehoods,which
operate by blowing a downward air ow on to a range,
shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other
than when the hood and range have been designed,
tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for
use in combination with each other.
WARNING
Use Proper Flame SizeAdjust ame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner
ame to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to ame will also
improve efciency.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Types of oven racksOven vent location
The oven vent is located below the control panel (See
Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through this
vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation
in the oven and good baking results. Do not block the
oven vent.

The atovenrack or athandleovenrack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs. The
Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) is described
later in this section. The offset oven rack (some models)
is designed to place the base of the rack about 1/2 of a
rack position lower than normal. This rack design provides
several additional possible positions between the standard
positions.To maximize oven cooking space place the
bottom oven rack (some models) in the lowest rack
position for baking or and when roasting large cuts of meat.
Removing, replacing & arranging racks
To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out.
To replace - t the rack onto the guides on the oven
walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack
back into place.
Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the
oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4” (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the food.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Figs. 2 & 3).
For best results when using a single oven at rack, place
cookware on rack positions 2, 3 or 4 (See Figs. 2 & 4).

Effortless™ Oven Rack system
Some models are equipped with a special oven rack
system that automatically partially extends the oven rack
from the interior oven glides to assist in easier access to
your food items. This feature works whenever the oven
door is opened or closed.
CAUTION
REMOVE ALL OVEN RACKS and accessories before
starting a self-clean cycle. If the oven racks are
left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, the glide
ability of the Effortless™ Oven Rack system will be
damaged and will cause oven racks to loose their shiny
nish and or turn blue. Remove ALL oven racks and
clean according to instructions provided in the Care &
Cleaning section of this manual.
Make sure the oven and oven racks are COMPLETLY
cool and safe to touch before attempting to assemble or
disassemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system. Never
pick up hot oven rack parts.
To assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:
1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied
oven rack (Effortless™ Oven Rack is a at rack with
a special dark coating on the left and right rack
sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.
2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely
cool before proceeding.
3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only (see
previous page to verify positions).Be sure the rack
connector brackets are at the rear of the range and
pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).
4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the oven
door open and the oven rack in place, install one end of
the connector arm to the hole in the door connector
bracket (Fig. 1) and the other end in the hole in the
rack connector bracket (Fig. 2 and as in Fig. 3). The
oven rack may need to be adjusted in or out in the rack
position to match the length of the connector arm.
5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the
connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point
upwards (See Figs. 4 & 5). The connector arm should
now be locked into position.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.
7. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be
sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing
the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out
of the oven freely when the door is opened or closed.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Only the Effortless™ Oven Rack system should be
used in oven rack position 2. Placing ANY other rack
in oven rack position 2 will prevent the oven door
from fully closing and may damage the oven door,
oven cavity or the door connector brackets.
If the rack system is not assembled with the connector
arms the Effortless™ Oven rack may be used in oven
rack positions 2 thru 6. Do not attempt to use the
Effortless™ Oven rack in rack position 1.

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and
type of food being cooked will inuence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
NOTE
Cookware material types
The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of
food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware
resists staining & pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.
Using proper cookware
For best cooking results,
cookware should have at
bottoms that rests level on
the burner grate. Before using
cookware, check for atness
by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (Fig. 1).
Fig. 2
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Setproperburneramesize
Formostcooking; start on the highest setting and then
turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the
recommendations below as a guide for determining proper
ame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)
Fordeepfatfrying;use a thermometer and adjust the
surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will
absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food
will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the
food will neither brown or cook properly.
Flame Size* Type of Cooking
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil;
pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces,
gravies; steaming.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
*These settings are based for medium-weight metal or
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using
other types of pans.
The color of the ame is the key to proper burner adjustment.
A good ame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted
room. Each cone of ame should be steady and sharp. Adjust
or clean burner if ame is yellow-orange.
Never extend the ame beyond the outer edge of the
cooking utensil. A higher ame wastes energy, and
increases your risk of being burned by the ame (Fig. 3).
CAUTION

Donotplaceammableitemssuch as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt
or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could
catch re if placed too close to the range cooktop.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt
they may damage the cooktop.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Setting surface controls
Your gas appliance may be equipped with many different
sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and
in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.
The smaller simmer burner (some models) is best suited
for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
The standard size (9,000 BTU) burners may be used for
most surface cooking needs.
The larger quick boil burner or burners (some models)
are best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to
temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.
It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the
amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner
and ame size appropriate for the cookware size.
Setting a surface burner
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner
grate. Make sure the cooking untensil is centered and
stable on the grate.
2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn
counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position.
Visually check that the gas burner has lit.
4. Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise
to the desired ame size. Use the control knob
markings and adjust the ame as needed.
Fig. 1
DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the
LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to
spark if the control knob is left in the LITE position.
When setting any surface control knob to the LITE
position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the
same time. However, only the surface burner you are
setting will ignite.

Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time
and energy.
Multiple rack baking.
No special pans or bakeware needed.
Setting Convec (Convection)
The Convec feature uses a fan to circulate the oven’s
heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This
improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking
and browning results. It also gives better baking results
when using two oven racks at the same time.
Heated air ows around the food from all sides, sealing in
juices and avors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.
Most foods baked in a standard will cook faster and more
evenly with the convection feature. Convec may be set
for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F
(288°C).
Suggestions for Convec:
For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s
recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder
of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum
recommended cook time.
For best results when using a single oven rack, place
rack in position 4 or 5 (See Fig. 1). When using 2 oven
racks, place in positions 2 & 5. When using 3 oven
racks place in positions 2, 4, & 7 (use offset rack only in
position 7).
1. Press Convec. key pad.
2. To accept press the or once. To change
the oven temperature use the or key pad to

SELF-CLEANING
Self-cleaning
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate
soils completely or reduces them to a ne powdered ash
you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range
can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
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.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system. Use caution when
opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle is
completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
CAUTION
Fig. 1
Adhere to the following self-clean precautions:
• DONOTuse oven cleaners or oven protective
coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
• DONOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1).
The woven material of the oven door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or remove the gasket.
• DONOT use any cleaning materials on the oven
door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils
and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures and will
melt.
Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and
ANY ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are not
removed they will lose their special coating
properties and no longer slide in and out of the
oven cavity effortlessly.
Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean,
use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers
can cause heavy smoke or re when subjected to
high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a
high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie lling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner
outside the oven door gasket and the small area at
the front center of the oven bottom. These areas
heat sufciently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and
water. These areas are shown in white (See Fig. 1).

burner head ports and slots clean will prevent improper
ignition and an uneven ame. See the following sections
for more instructions.
Cleaning the cooktop and surface burners
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop
If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas,
blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean,
damp cloth and wipe dry.
Always keep the surface burner caps in place whenever
a surface burner is in use.
When replacing the burner caps, be sure the burner
caps are seatedrmly on top of the burner heads.
The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop
and must be cleaned in place on the cooktop.

IMPORTANT
Replacing oven light
The light bulb is located at the rear of the oven and is
covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass
shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.
To replace the oven light bulb:
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug
the range.
2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass
shield that covers the light bulb.
3. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder
back into place.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug
the appliance back in).
6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see
“Setting the clock” in this Use & Care Guide.
Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL
before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for
protection against possible broken glass.
CAUTION
To clean the burner head ignition ports
Each burner head has a small ignition port located as
illustrated. Should you experience ignition problems it may
be that this port hole is partially blocked with soil. With the
burner head in place, use a small wire gauge needle or the
end of a paper clip to clear the ignition port (See Fig. 1 -
center burner not shown).
To clean burner caps
Remove caps from burner heads after they have cooled.
Clean heavy soils with a plastic scrubbing pad and
absorbent cloth.
Thoroughly dry burner caps immediately following
cleaning including the bottom and inside of cap.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. They can scratch porcelain.
Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher.
Do not operate surface burners without burner caps
properly in place. See IMPORTANT notes below.

cleanser.
Food soils containing acids may affect the nish. Clean
immediately after the grates are cool.
Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.
To clean the surface burner heads
For proper gas ow it may be necessary to clean the burner
head and slots. To clean, rst use a clean DAMP cloth to soak
up any spills. Remove any food from between the burner
slots using a small nonabrasive brush like a toothbrush and
afterwards wipe up using a damp cloth. For stubborn soils
located in the slots, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean.
Any spill on or around the electrode must be carefully
cleaned. Take care not to hit the electrode with any thing
hard or it could be damaged.
CAUTION
To avoid possible burns DO NOT attempt any of the
cleaning instructions provided below before turning OFF
all of the surface burners and allow them to cool.

Oven smokes excessively during broiling.
Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls.
Make sure oven door closed.
Meat too close to upper burner. Reposition the broil rack to provide
proper clearance between the meat & the burner. Preheat the oven.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut
remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
Broiler pan and insert wrong side up and grease not draining. Always
place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to
drip into pan (some models).
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when
broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vent.
Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie
spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up
excessive spillovers before starting oven. If ames or excessive smoke
are present see “Broiling” in the Setting Oven Controls section.

the display & stop beeping. Try the bake or broil feature again. If the F
code error repeats, remove power from appliance, wait 5 minutes and
then repower appliance and set clock for the time of day. Try the bake or
broil feature again. If the fault recurs, record fault and call for service.
Problem Solution
Oven light does not work.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance
must be accessible for service.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer
to make appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufcient space so appliance
can be lifted over carpet.
Appliance is not level.
Be sure oor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range.
If oor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the
oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure
cabinets are square & have sufcient room for appliance clearance.
Be sure the light is secure in the socket. Also see “Changing & replacing
the oven light” section.
Soil not completely removed after
self-cleaning cycle.
Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door area
outside oven seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get
hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning
cycle is started. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush
and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
