Range Features

Sealed Gas Burners

The cooktop has sealed gas burners. As a result, there are no parts under the cooktop to clean, disassemble or adjust. Spills stay on top of the cooktop where they are easier to wipe up.

Burner Caps

The cooktop has three different burner sizes; small, medium, and large. Match the corresponding letters on the burner cap and burner base.

The burner cap is porcelainized steel. The burner caps must be properly placed for the cooktop to function properly. If the burner cap is not properly placed, one or more of the following problems may occur:

• Burner flames are too high.

• Flames shoot out of burners.

• Burners do not ignite.

• Burner flames light unevenly.

• Burner emits gas odor.

WARNING

To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.

WARNING

To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or grates while hot. Turn the cooktop off and allow the burners to cool.

Placing Burner Caps

Each cap has a letter (A, D, or F) cast in the underside of the cap that corresponds to a letter (A, D, or F) cast in the burner base that is attached to the appliance.

Note: In some models the center burner does not have a letter designation on the burner base.

• Place each burner cap on its correct burner base per its corresponding letter designation. See figure “Matching letter designation.” on page 7.

Place burner cap gently on top of base so that the prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of the burner cap.

Checking Burner Cap Placement

• Check to make sure there is not a gap between the burner cap and burner base. See figure “Burner Cap Placement” on page 8 to see the correct and incorrect placements of the burner cap.

• You may gently try to move the burner cap from side to side to check if it is properly placed. If properly placed, the cap will click from side to side as the prongs hit the groove ridge.

Burner Grates

Grates must be properly positioned before cooking.

WARNING

To prevent flare-ups, properly support pots, and avoid spills, all grates must be properly positioned on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in use. Do not use a grate if the rubber feet are missing or damaged.

To purchase replacement rubber feet: Part # 416438, contact your dealer or call the service number listed inside the cover.

Control Knobs

The cooktop has one control knob for each burner.

CAUTION

Failure to operate knobs properly may result in personal injury and damage to the appliance.

The cooktop has standard burner controls and rubber grommets.

The standard burner controls have an infinite number of heat settings. These settings are located on the burner knob.

To operate: Select the appropriate control knob, push down and turn to the left to the ignition symbol until the burner ignites. Turn the knob to the desired setting. Turn burner off by turning the control knob clockwise to OFF.

Burner Control Knob Removal

To remove knob and grommet: With burner in the OFF position, gently lift knob up and off. Gently pull the grommet from the sides and lift out.

WARNING

To avoid possible electric shock, do not reach through control opening into rough-in box located under the cooktop.

To replace grommet and knob: Carefully insert the grommet into the opening, ensuring that the maintop is seated in the track around the entire perimeter of the grommet. Replace control knob by placing indicator line at the 12 o’clock position. Press down firmly.

Oven Features

Cooling Fan

The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vent. The fan may also run after the oven is off.

Convection Fan

The convection fan operates during any convection mode. When the oven is operating in the convection mode, the fan will turn off automatically when the door is opened. The convection fan does run during self-clean, although not at the beginning of the mode.

Note: On some models, the convection fan also runs during preheat for the bake mode.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom conceals the lower heating element. As a result the element is protected from damage and spills.

Note:

Do not place food directly on the oven bottom.

Oven Vent

The oven vent is located at the back of the range. Warm air may be released from the vent before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect in this area. This area may be hot when the oven is in use. Do not block the vent as it is important for air circulation.

CAUTION

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance, especially oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

Automatic Shutoff

The oven will automatically shut off after 24 hours.

Self-Cleaning

The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor involved with cleaning your oven.

Indicators and Other Features

Default Settings - The cooking modes automatically select the default temperature. These can be changed when a different one is needed.

E Number Codes -These codes display when there is a problem with the range.

Stand By Mode

Stand by mode means that the oven has power but no cooking mode or timer is running.

Before Using the Appliance for the First Time

• Remove all packing materials and labels from range. Remove packing materials from inside the oven and inside the drawer.

• While cool, wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.

• There may be a slight odor during first uses; this is normal and will disappear.

• Optimum cooking results depend on proper cookware and bakeware being used.

• Read and understand all safety precautions and Use and Care Manual information prior to operating.

Operation - Cooktop

This section explains how to operate the cooktop. See “Getting the Most Out of Your Cooktop” for guidelines to improve cooktop results.

About the Cooktop

Use the cooktop for surface cooking applications such as boiling, frying, simmering, steaming and sautéing.

WARNING

To avoid risk of personal injury, while the self-clean cycle is operating, the cooktop will not operate.

When using the cooktop and the oven is set to self-clean, "Turn Off Cooktop" is shown in the display. The self-clean cycle does not come on. Turn off the cooktop to use selfclean.

The cooktop cannot be used when self-clean is running in the oven.

WARNING

The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene and Formaldehyde. To minimize exposure to these substances, the burners should be adjusted by a certified installer or agency to ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation fan or hood when cooking with Gas. Always operate the unit according to the instructions in this manual.

The cooktop has one control knob for each burner. Push down and turn to the desired heat setting.

Normal Operation

(Electronic Ignition/Reignition)

The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners. There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own igniter. If a burner flame blows out during use, the burner will automatically reignite.

CAUTION

To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance, ensure grates are installed exactly per installation instructions and not backwards or upside down.

Typical Flame Characteristics

The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or fluttering. It should burn completely around the burner cap.

Yellow Flames:

Further adjustment is required.

Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:

Normal for LP Gas.

Soft Blue Flames:

Normal for Natural Gas.

If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment, retest.

Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial startup. Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate before making adjustments.

Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial use. This should disappear with use. Check burner to make sure port holes are not obstructed. If the ports are clogged, see “Self Help” on page 38.

NOTE:

An audible “pop” may be heard when the burner is turned off manually. The “popping” may be louder with LP gas than with natural gas. This is normal.

Operation

About the Appliance

Your new oven combines premium cooking results and simple operation.

The oven design has been optimized to improve heat distribution in the oven cavity. The result is even browning, shorter cooking times and lower energy consumption.

Thanks to the Self-Clean mode, hours of scrubbing into the darkest corners of the oven is a thing of the past. The oven burns off soil simply and easily. All that is left to do is to remove a few ashes from the oven when Self-Clean is done and the oven is cool enough to touch.

Clear labeling of the touch pads makes operating the oven very easy. This manual includes all instructions for operating the oven.

Please call us if you ever have any questions. Our telephone number is located at the beginning of this manual. We welcome your comments and suggestions!

Getting the Most Out of Your Cooktop

Cooktop Cooking Guide

Boiling Water

Time to boil can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions. Try the following tips to decrease boil time:

• Use a lid.

• Use a pan that is appropriately sized for the amount of water and the size of the burner.

• Select a pan with a flat base (See “Cookware Selection Guide” in the next column for details).

• Choose a medium-weight pan (rather than a heavyweight one).

• Make sure that the pan is positioned so that the entire base is in contact with the burner grate.

• Start with water that is already warm.

• Boil the smallest amount of water necessary. Smaller volumes will boil faster than larger volumes.

Recommended Settings

Use this chart as a guide for heat settings. A range of heat settings are listed because the actual setting depends on:

• type and quality of pan (See “Cookware Selection Guide”),

• type, quantity and temperature of the food,

• element used and

• the cook’s preference.

Uses

Heat Settings

Bringing water to boil

High

Pan frying, sautéing, browning meat, deep fat frying

Medium High

Most frying, eggs, pancakes, slow boil

Cookware Selection Guide

Cookware Characteristics

• Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat evenly.

• Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may cook unevenly.

• Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks more evenly at low-to-medium settings.

• Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.

• DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or ridged as they heat unevenly.

Tight Fitting Lids – A lid shortens cooking/boiling time by holding heat inside the pot.

Cookware Tips

• Use of pots and pans with rounded (either concave or convex) warped or dented bottoms should be avoided.

• Make sure the bottom of the pot or pan being used is clean and dry.

• Use pots and pans with thick, smooth metal bottoms.

Specialty Pans

Pan Bottom Diameter

• The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the pan.

• Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to back, not side to side.

• For best cooking results, large pans should not extend over the sides of the grates.

Use Balanced Pans

• Balance is important for stability and even cooking.

• Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking or wobbling.

• Center pan over burner.

Use a Lid That Fits Properly

A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time.

Specialty Pans

Specialty pans such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers, woks, water bath canners and pressure canners must have the same features as described above. Use only a flat-bottomed wok or wok ring when using a wok.

Tight Fitting Lids – A lid shortens cooking/boiling time by holding heat inside the pot.

Cookware Tips

• Use of pots and pans with rounded (either concave or convex) warped or dented bottoms should be avoided.

• Make sure the bottom of the pot or pan being used is clean and dry.

• Use pots and pans with thick, smooth metal bottoms.

Getting the Most Out of Your Oven

General Tips

Pan Placement

Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other.

Rack Position

Rack positions are numbered from 1 to 6, from bottom to top. Consult the food cooking charts at the back of this manual for recommended rack positions.

The rail at the top of the oven is used as the guide for the top rack (position 6). Use rack positions 1 through 6 only. DO NOT attempt to use the top guide to support an oven rack.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Preheating the Oven

• Place oven racks in desired position before heating the oven.

• Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Multi Rack, Pizza, Broil, Convection Broil, and Warm modes.

• Preheat is not used for Roast, Convection Roast and Proof modes.

• Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items.

• Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

• Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature.

• Use Fast Preheat to speed up preheating time.

Preheat Reminders

Your oven has one of the fastest preheat times in the market using a concealed bake element. The lower element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is normal that the preheat time is different than your previous oven that had an exposed element on the bottom.

• Cleaning the oven is easier because there is no cleaning around a coil element showing on the bottom of the oven. The hidden lower element is protected from food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is easy.

• Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry, casseroles and some frozen foods.

• Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply to your house is less than 240 volts.

• Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F is longer than the preheat time for 350° F.

When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.

For Best Results

• Use the cooking recommendations as a guide.

• Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid temperature reduction.

• Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently.

• Use the KitchenTimer to keep track of cooking times.

Baking Pans and Dishes

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven temperature 25° F when baking using glass dishes.

• Preheat the oven before adding glass baking dishes.

• Use pans that provide the desired browning. For tender, light, golden-brown crusts, use light, anodized or shiny metal bakeware.

• Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Follow manufacturers' recommendations.

• Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the length of cooking time.

• Do not set any heavy object on the open oven door.

• Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven during cooking as this could change the cooking performance. Store pans outside the oven.

Opening the Oven Door

• Open and close the appliance door only by holding the door handle. To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any other parts of the door.

High Altitude Baking

• When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary.

• For accurate information, write the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.

• It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

Temperature Range by Cooking Mode

Temperatures shown are in Fahrenheit.

Cooking Modes

Bake

Bake is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower elements cycle to maintain the oven temperature.

The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time.

Tips

• When using the Bake mode, preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.

• Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the cook time for most foods.

• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1 1/2” space between pans or dishes and oven walls.

• Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window to periodically check food for doneness instead of opening the door.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake is similar to Bake. Heat comes from the upper and lower heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

The Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items.

The benefits of Convection Bake include:

• Slight decrease in cook time.

• Higher volume (yeast items rise higher).

Tips

• Place food in shallow, uncovered pans such as cookie sheet without sides.

• For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5.

• If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1” to 1 1/2” of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other (see image). Use these rack positions.

Auto Convection Conversion

Convection Bake and Convection Multi-Rack modes require a 25° F reduction in temperature. Auto Convection Conversion reduces the temperature you enter automatically. Simply enter the package or recipe temperature when setting the mode. The control calculates the correct temperature and it is shown in the display.

The Auto Convection Conversion feature can be turned on to allow for automatic temperature adjustments. See “Auto Convection Conversion” in the “Settings Menu Options” on page 20 for details.

Convection Multi-Rack

Multi-Rack mode cooks with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

The Convection Multi-rack mode is well suited for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits. It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time. Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases slightly.

The benefits of Multi-Rack include:

• Even browning.

• Time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one time.

Tips

• Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F if Auto Convection Conversion is not activated.

• Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.

• If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1” to 1 1/2” of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other.

Pizza

In the Pizza mode, heat from the upper and lower elements is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.

Tips

• There might be a slight decrease in baking time. Check before minimum package time.

• When baking a frozen pizza: For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack. For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.

• When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent crust formation.

• Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.

• If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the pan.

• If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough with a fork before baking.

• If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer crust.

• Preheat baking stones following manufacturer’s recommendations while the oven is preheating.

• Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the center of the rack.

• Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.

• The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza mode.

Roast

Roast uses both the upper and lower elements to maintain the oven temperature. Roasting uses more intense heat from the upper element than the lower element. This results in more browning of the exterior while the inside remains especially moist.

Roast is best suited for meat and poultry and less tender cuts of meat.

Tips:

• Preheating the oven is not necessary.

• Use a high-sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover dish with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.

• For less tender cuts of meat, add liquids such as water, juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and moisture.

• Roasting bags and using a lid are suitable for use in this mode.

• When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.

Convection Roast

Convection Roast uses heat from the top and bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan.

The Convection Roast mode is well suited for preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting vegetables.

The benefits of Convection Roast include:

• As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection modes.

• Rich, golden browning.

Tips:

• Preheating the oven is not necessary.

• Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.

• Check doneness early, since roasting time may decrease. Refer to the Meat/Poultry cooking chart for examples.

• Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.

• Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow, uncovered pan with a rack for roasting.

• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal termperature of the meat.

• If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.

• Let meat stand covered with foil for 10 to 15 minutes after removing it from the oven.

• Refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart for recommended rack positions.

Broil

Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element.

The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door closed. The benefits of broiling include:

• Fast and efficient cooking.

• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.

Tips:

• Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.

• Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick.

• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking.

• Use a broil pan and grid, or a deep pan with a metal rack, for broiling.

• Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.

• Turn meats (other than fish) once during the recommended cook time. Fish does not need to be turned.

• When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such as CorningWare ®.

• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex ®); it cannot tolerate the high temperature.

• For broil times, refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart.

Convection Broil

Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a convection fan.

The Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods. Always use convection broil with the door closed.

In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster.

Tips:

• Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.

• Steaks and chops should be at least 1 1/2" thick.

• Use a broil pan and grid, or a deep pan with a metal rack, for broiling.

• Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.

• Turn meats (other than fish) once during the recommended cook time. Fish does not need to be turned.

• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex ®); it cannot tolerate the high temperature.

• For Convection Broil times, refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart.

Proof

In Proof, the oven uses the lower element to maintain a low temperature to proof bread or other yeast doughs.

• No preheat is necessary.

• Proofing is the rising of yeast dough.

• The Proof Dough mode temperature range is 85° F to 125° F.

• The default temperature in the Proof Dough mode is 100° F.

• Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of the container.

• Keep the oven door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.

Warm

In Warm, the upper and lower elements maintain a low temperature in the oven cavity in order to keep food at serving temperature.

• Use the Warm mode to keep cooked foods hot until ready to serve for up to one hour.

• Warm mode temperatures are 150° F to 225° F.

• The default temperature in the Warm mode is 170° F.

• Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.

CAUTION

When using Warm mode, follow these guidelines:

• Do not use the Warm mode to heat cold food.

• Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends holding hot food at 140° F or warmer.

• DO NOT warm food longer than one hour.

Replacing an Oven Light

WARNING

• Make sure the appliance and lights are cool and power to the appliance has been turned off before replacing the light bulb(s). Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.

• The lenses must be in place when using the appliance.

• The lenses serve to protect the light bulb from breaking.

• The lenses are made of glass. Handle carefully to avoid breaking. Broken glass could cause an injury.

• Light socket is live when door is open.

Bulb specifications:

40 watt, appliance bulb, standard Edison base

To change the bulb:

1. Turn off power to the oven at the main power supply (fuse or breaker box).

2. Remove the glass cover by unscrewing it. Turn the glass counterclockwise to remove it.

3. Remove the bulb. The bulb unscrews counterclockwise.

4. Grasp the new bulb with a clean, dry cloth to prevent depositing skin oils on the glass which could lead to premature bulb failure. Replace the bulb by screwing it in turning the bulb clockwise.

5. Screw the glass cover back on.

6. Turn power back on at the main power supply (fuse or breaker box).

Removing the Oven Door

WARNING

When removing the door:

• Make sure oven is cool and power to the oven has been turned off before removing the door. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.

• The oven door is heavy and parts of it are fragile. Use both hands to remove the oven door. The door front is glass. Handle carefully to avoid breakage.

• Grasp only the sides of the oven door. Do not grasp the handle as it may swing in your hand and cause damage or injury.

• Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and properly could result in personal injury or product damage.

• To avoid injury from hinge bracket snapping closed, be sure that both levers are securely in place before removing the door. Also, do not force door open or closed—the hinge could be damaged and injury could result.

• Do not lay removed door on sharp or pointed objects as this could break the glass. Lay on a flat, smooth surface, positioned so that the door cannot fall over.

To remove the oven door:

To help avoid injury or damage be sure to read the above WARNING before attempting to remove the oven door.

1. Open the oven door to its fully open, horizontal position.

2. Flip levers on hinges toward you.

Note: It may be necessary to use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to gently pry the upper part of the lever away from the housing. Take care to avoid scratching the housing.

3. Bring both door hinge levers to their fullest down position as shown in the illustration. The left and right door hinges may differ slightly but operate in the same manner.

4. Close the oven door until it catches on the hinge stop levers, locking the hinges at the proper angle for door removal. The door will be open about 7 inches at the top. This takes the spring tension off the hinges so the door can be easily lifted out.

5. The door is heavy. Use both hands to firmly grip it by the sides. Do not grip the door by the handle. Maintaining the door angle, lift the door straight up approximately 3/4" to unhook the hinges from the slots and then pull it out towards you until the hinges are clear of the oven housing.

6. Place the door in a convenient and stable location for cleaning.

To replace the oven door:

1. Holding the door firmly in both hands, grip it on either side, not by the handle.

2. Tilt the door back slightly towards you until it opens about 7" at the top.

3. Slide the hinges into the slots as far as they will go and then lower the door straight down. The angle of the door may need to be adjusted slightly to allow the hinges to engage properly and the door to lower into place. The door should lower about 3/4" and stop. If not, the hinges have not engaged properly and the door could fall if it is released.

4. Once both hinges are fully engaged as described in Step 3, gently open the door until it is fully open.

5. Push the levers on both the hinges up and forward until they are locked into the slot, flush with the front of the oven body.

6. Close and open door slowly to be sure it is correctly and securely in place.

Warming Drawer Maintenance

Removing the Drawer

CAUTION

To prevent burns, do not remove drawer while hot. Be sure drawer is empty before removing.

Removing Drawer from Housing

NOTICE: The following is the manufacturer’s recommendations for removing and installing the drawer to minimize the risk of damage to the PTO mechanism.

1. Remove the drawer from the drawer housing.

  • Pull drawer to fully open position.
  • Press down right drawer release lever.
  • Lift up left drawer release lever.
  • Firmly pull the drawer straight out.
  • Retract cabinet rails while drawer is removed.

2. Grasp both sides of the drawer and pulling straight and level, carefully remove the drawer housing. This step may require light to moderate force to completely remove drawer.

3. Install or service (clean) housing with drawer removed.

Installing Drawer to Housing

The slides mounted to each side of the housing wall have two moving components, an inner rail and a ball bearing carrier which need to be in the proper orientation for accurate installation and alignment.

There is also a visible locking mechanism located at the rear of each slide.

Note: The housing of your warming drawer should match the image below identically before starting your installation. The ball bearing carrier should be locked in to the inner rail’s black plastic rail tip at the front of the inner rail.

1. With the drawer removed, set the slide inner rail to the drawer locked position by pushing the slide inner rail toward the rear of the housing until it locks in place.

Note: A moderate force pushing on the black plastic ball carrier locking mechanism is required to set the slide to the drawer locked position. The drawer is locked when it remains in place and does not spring back to the open position.

2. Position the drawer assembly in front of the housing assembly and align the rail (plastic rail tip) to the slide ball carrier assembly. Keeping the drawer assembly level and square to the housing, gently insert the drawer to the housing assembly.

Notes

  • A slight side-to-side wiggle motion may be required to properly get the ball bearings to accurately align.
  • Remember: You are attempting to align two sets of ball bearings at this point. If more than a moderate force is required to insert the drawer at this time, remove the drawer and repeat the installation procedure to this point.

3. Continue to insert the drawer keeping the drawer level and square to the housing until a slight increase in resistance is felt at the approximate position shown below.

NOTICES

  • At this position, a slight increase in closure force is required with several small increments of force applied to the drawer to accurately align and set the drawer for proper operation.
  • An audible “click” should be heard when the drawer is properly closed causing the drawer to lock in the closed position.

4. Test the operation of the PTO drawer by pushing on the center lower portion of the drawer front (optimum location for function).

Note: It should be noted the recommended and optimum location for opening the drawer is the lower center front. The drawer will operate with an opening force applied to any location on the drawer front, however a slight increase in opening force may be required.

Convection Bake or Convection Mulit- Rack results are not as Expected

If the Automatic Convection Conversion Feature is turned off, the temperature must be manually reduced by 25°F. If the feature is active, the temperature is automatically adjusted. See “Turn Automatic Convection Conversion ON or OFF” for more information. Refer to cooking charts and tips for rack positions, cooking times and pan selection. Adjust oven calibration if necessary. See “Oven Temperature Offset” on page 19.

Oven temperature is too hot or too cold

The oven thermostat needs adjustment. See “Oven Temperature Offset” on page 19.

Oven light is not working properly

Replace or reinsert the light bulb if loose or defective. Touching the bulb with fingers may cause the bulb to burn out.

Oven light will not turn off

Check for obstruction in oven door. Check to see if hinge is bent. When the Sabbath feature is activated, the oven light will stay on or off (as selected during set-up) during the entire Sabbath mode.

Cannot remove lens cover on light

There may be soil build-up around the lens cover. Wipe lens cover area with a clean dry towel prior to attempting to remove the lens cover.

Oven will not Self-Clean properly

Allow the oven to cool before running Self-Clean. Always wipe out loose soils or heavy spillovers before running Self-Clean. If oven is badly soiled, set oven for a five-hour Self-Clean. See Preparing the Oven to Self-Clean.

Clock and timer are not working properly

Make sure there is electrical power to oven. See Clock and Timer sections.

Porcelain chips

When oven racks are removed and replaced, always tilt racks upward and do not force them to avoid chipping the porcelain.

“F” and a number appears in display and control beeps

This is a fault code. Press Off to clear the display and stop beeping. Reset oven if necessary. If fault code remains and beep continues, record fault code, cancel oven and call authorized service technician.

With a new range there is a strong odor when oven is turned on

This is normal with a new range and will disappear after a few uses. Operating the self-clean cycle will also “burn-off” the smell more quickly.

Control does not react when the pad is touched

Be sure that pad is clean. Touch the center of the touchpad. Use the flat part of your finger.

Fan is running during modes that don’t use convection

On some models, the convection fan will run while the oven is preheating for the bake mode. This is normal.

Slide-in models also have a cooling fan that runs during every cooking mode.

Warm air or steam escapes from oven vent

It is normal to see or feel steam or warm air escaping from the oven vent. Do not block the vent.

Cooling fan runs after oven is turned off (Slide-in ranges only)

This is normal. When the oven has cooled to a pre-determined temperature, the cooling fan turns off.

The cooktop does not operate during Self- Clean

This is normal for some models. Operation will return once Self-Clean is complete.
