IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:
I Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
I Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
I Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
I Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
I Do not leave children alone—children
should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
I Have the installer show you the location
of the range gas shut-off valve and how to
shut it off if necessary.
I 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.
I Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
I Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the range before operating
it to prevent fire or smoke damage should
the packaging material ignite.
I Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
I 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.
I 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 Instructions packed with
the range.
I 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 (U.S.). Do not use an extension cord
with this appliance.
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.
I Keep the hood and grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease
fires.
I Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the range.
I Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
from your range.

I Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance from your
range.
I Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
I Do not clean the range with flammable or
volatile cleaning fluids.
I 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.
I Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp
instruments, or with rings and other
jewelry.
I Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the oven door, storage drawer or
cooktop. They could damage the range
and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
CAUTION: Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a range or
on the backsplash of a range—children climbing
on the range to reach items could be seriously
injured.
I For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
I Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.
I Do not clean the range when the appliance
is in use.
I 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.
I Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range storage drawer or near a
cooktop.
I Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
I Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.
I 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.
I 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.
I Flame in the oven 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.
I Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving
them where children can reach them.
I 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 storage drawer or kick panel.
I Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the
cooktop can lead to damage and improper
operation of the range.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: NEVER 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 cooktop or oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large
enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food
properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering
or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
I Always use the LITE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
I Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
I Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
I 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.
I When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
I 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.
I Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
I Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
I 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.
I If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slowly.
I Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
I Do not operate the burner without all burner
parts in place.
I Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling
I the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers
when food is added.
I Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
I 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.
I 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.
I Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
I Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
I Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
I 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.
I If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and create a fire hazard.
I 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.
I Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
I When disabling range lock-out, make
sure the surface controls are set to the OFF
position. This will preclude gas flow when the
range is turned on.
WARNING!
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating 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.
I 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.
I Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny,
silver-colored oven racks (on some models)
and all other cookware.
I Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (on some
models) may be cleaned in the oven during the
self-clean cycle.
I Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
I If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.
I Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

I Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
I Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
I Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
I Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holder contact the
heating elements.
I When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
I 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.
I Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
I Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items
stored in an oven can ignite.
I Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
I Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.
Improper installation of aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
I Make sure a broiler pan is in place correctly to
reduce the possibility of grease fires.
I If you should have a grease fire in a broiler pan,
press the CLEAR/OFF pad and keep the oven
door closed to contain fire until it burns out.
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
WARNING!
OVEN
(Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71°C) and poultry to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 180°F (82°C). Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
WARNING: NEVER cover
any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom
or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it to
the LITE position.
You will hear a clicking noise—the sound
of the electric spark igniting the burner.
After the flame lights, turn the knob to
adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at
LITE, it will continue to click.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all
the burners spark. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner
while another burner is on. An electric
shock may result, which could cause you
to knock over hot cookware.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to the LITE position.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames
extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat. The flame size on a gas
burner should match the cookware
you are using.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to heat
the handle.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
I Make sure all grates on the range are in
place before using any burner.
I If your range has the Range Lock-Out
feature, make sure it is disabled before
attempting to light the surface burners.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
I 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.
I Be sure the burners and grates are
cool before you place your hand,
a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other materials on them.
Using the gas surface burners.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has four sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience,
cleanability and flexibility to be used in
a wide range of cooking applications.
The smallest burner in the right rear
position is the simmer burner. This burner
can be turned to LO for a very low simmer
setting. It provides precise cooking
performance for delicate foods such
as sauces or foods that require low heat
for a long cooking time.
The medium (left rear) and the large
(left front) burners are the primary
burners for most cooking. These general-
purpose burners can be turned from HI to
LO to suit a wide range of cooking needs.
The extra large burner (right front) is
the maximum output burner. Like the
other three burners, it can be turned
from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking
applications; however, this burner is
designed to quickly bring large amounts
of liquid to a boil. It has a special POWER
BOIL™setting designed to be used with
cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter.

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.
NOTE: If range lock-out is in use at the time of a
power failure, the surface burners cannot be lit.
Wok This Way
We recommend that you use a 14-inch (35.6 cm)
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.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Stove Top Grills
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed
gas burners. If you use the stove top grill
on the sealed gas burner, it will cause
incomplete combustion and can result
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards.
This can be hazardous to your health.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in
an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with
tight-fitting lids when cooking with
minimum amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may
melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware—those for oven use only
and those for top-of-range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots).
Glass conducts heat very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used
for either surface or oven cooking. It
conducts heat very slowly and cools very
slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on gas
ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has
poor heating properties and is usually
combined with copper, aluminum
or other metals for improved heat
distribution. Combination metal skillets
usually work satisfactorily if they are used
with medium heat as the manufacturer
recommends.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The racks have stops, so that when placed
correctly on the supports, they will stop
before coming completely out, and will
not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out until it stops.
The bake burner is under the oven floor.
Do not place foods on the oven bottom
for cooking.
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.
CAUTION: When you are using
the rack in the lowest position (A), you will need
to use caution when pulling the rack out. We
recommend that you pull the rack out several
inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the

Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature.
The control will beep when the oven is preheated
and the display will show your set temperature.
The preheat time will vary depending on the
temperature setting.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least 1″
(2.5 cm) to 11⁄2″ (3.8 cm) of air space
around it.
Do not place foods directly on the
oven floor.
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.
CAUTION: Do not make any
attempt to operate the electric ignition oven during
an electrical power failure.
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during
a power failure. Gas will not flow unless
the glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power
failure occurs, the oven burner shuts
off and cannot be re-lit until power is
restored. This is because the flow of gas is
automatically stopped and will not resume
when power is restored until the glow bar
has reached operating temperature.
Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through one vent
located toward the rear of the range. Do
not block this vent 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.
I Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.
I Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
I 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.
I Metal items will become very hot if they are
left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

Broiling Guide
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 (60°C)
means some food poisoning
organisms may survive.” (Source:
Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen
Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible burns, place the
racks in the desired position before you turn the
oven on.
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 pad once for HI
Broil.
To change to LO Broil, touch the
BROIL pad again.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
over-browning them.
Touch the START 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.
NOTE: Broil will not work if the temperature
probe is plugged in.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product may result in
damage to the probe or oven control.
Use the handles of the probe and plug
when inserting and removing them from
the food and outlet.
I To avoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
I To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food
is completely defrosted before inserting.
I To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the
probe from the outlet until the oven has
cooled.
I Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
I Do not store the probe in the oven.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet in the oven.
After preparing the meat and placing
it on a trivet or on a broiler pan grid,
follow these directions for proper probe
placement.
Insert the probe completely into the
meat. It should not touch bone, fat
or gristle.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe
into the meatiest part of the roast. For
bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe
into the center of the lowest large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes
such as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of

Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple racks.
Multi-rack baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods, but the overall
result is time saved. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits, and other quick breads give
good results with multi-rack baking.
When baking on 3 racks, place one
rack in the fourth (D) position, one
in the fifth (E) position and one in
the sixth (F) position. If pans will not
fit, use rack positions B, D and F.

Convection Fan
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air
over, under and around the food.
This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods
are evenly cooked and browned—often in less
time with convection heat.
NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on

Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven,
check to see if your cookware leaves
room for air circulation in the oven.
If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended for
use in regular baking can also be used
for convection baking, but should not
be used at temperatures higher than
the temperature recommended by the
cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware
that is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F (204°C) can also be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
I Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
I Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Convection Roast
I Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Meat and poultry are browned on all
sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting,
it is important that you use a broiler pan
and grid designed for broiling for best
convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills, and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters while
heated air circulates under the meat to
increase browning on the underside
of the meat or poultry.
I Place the oven rack in the position
that centers the food between the top
and bottom of the oven.
When baking cookies, you will
get the best results if you use a
flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.

The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products.
How to Set the Oven For Proofing
Place the covered dough in a dish in
the oven on rack B or C.
NOTE: For best results, cover the dough with a
cloth or with greased plastic wrap (the plastic
may need to be anchored underneath the
container so the oven fan will not blow it off).
Touch the PROOF pad and then the
START pad.
The display will read PrF (proof).
The oven interior light turns on and
remains on during proofing.
The proofing feature automatically
provides the optimum temperature for
the proofing process, and therefore does
not have a temperature adjustment.
Set the KITCHEN TIMER for the
minimum proof time.
When proofing is finished, touch
the CLEAR/OFF pad.
I To avoid lowering the oven temperature
and lengthening proofing time, do not
open the oven door unnecessarily.
I Check bread products early to avoid
over-proofing.
NOTE:
I Do not use the proofing mode for warming
food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven
temperature is not hot enough to hold foods
at safe temperatures. Use the WARM feature
to keep food warm.
I Proofing will not operate when oven is above
125°F (52°C). “HOT” will show in the display.
How to Set the Oven For Warming
The WARM feature keeps cooked
foods hot.
This feature is not designed to reheat
cold food.
To use the WARM feature, touch the
WARM pad and then the START pad.
To use the WARM feature after Timed
Baking or Roasting, follow these steps:
Touch the mode of cooking that
you want to use (BAKE, CONVECTION
BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST).
Touch the number pads to set the
oven temperature.
Touch the COOKING TIME pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired length of cooking time.
Touch the WARM pad.
Touch the START pad.
To Crisp Stale Items
I Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.
I For best results, place the food items in
a single layer. Do not stack.
I Leave them uncovered.
I Check crispness after 20–30 minutes.
Add time as needed.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
I Food should be kept hot in its cooking container
or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.
I For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe
lid or aluminum foil.
I Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered,
but can become too dry if warmed for too long.
I Repeated opening of the door allows the hot
air to escape and the food to cool.
I Allow extra time for the temperature inside the
oven to stabilize after adding items.
I With large loads it may be necessary to cover
some of the cooked food items.
I Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
containers in the oven.
I Do not use plastic containers, lids or plastic
wrap.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat
yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees F (11–22 degrees C).
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking, convection baking (on some models) and convection roasting
(on some models) temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be
retained in memory after a power failure.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the BROIL and BAKE pads at
the same time for 3 seconds until
the display shows SF.
Touch the BAKE pad. A two-digit
number shows in the display.
Touch BAKE again to alternate
between increasing and decreasing
the oven temperature.
The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 35ºF (19°C)
hotter or (-) 35ºF (19°C) cooler.
Touch the number pads the same
way you read them. For example, to
change the oven temperature 15ºF
(8°C), touch 1 and 5.
When you have made the
adjustment, touch the START pad to
go back to the time of day display.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
U.S. federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on
the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and
flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing
at least 70% vegetable oil.

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, probe and any aluminum foil
from the oven—they cannot withstand
the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE:
I The shiny, silver-colored oven racks
(on some models) can be self-cleaned,

and become hard to slide.
I If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven racks, they may
be left in the oven during the self-clean

Soil on the front frame of the range
and outside the gasket on the door will
need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these
areas with hot water, soap-filled or plastic
scouring pads or cleansers such as Soft

and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.

cooktop wet.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the
grates and grille in a covered container.
Add 1/4 cup (59 mL) ammonia and let
them soak several hours or overnight.
Wash, rinse well and dry.
Although they’re durable, the grates
and grille will gradually lose their shine,
regardless of the best care you can give
them. This is due to their continual
exposure to high temperatures.
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.
After cleaning, replace the center vent
grille first. Replace the side grates so that
the center extensions are oriented toward
the center of the cooktop. The rear
center extensions should slightly overlap
the vent grille. Make sure the grates are
positioned securely over the burners and
that they are stable and level.
Rubber Grate Feet
For stability, your cooktop has rubber
feet on the burner grates. If any of these
rubber feet should become damaged or
lost, replace them immediately.
To order replacement rubber grate feet,
please call our toll-free number:

Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills right
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull
spot if allowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash
and rinse. For other spills such as fat
spatterings, etc., wash with soap and water
once the surface has cooled. Then rinse
and polish with a dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation of the
range.
NOTE: For stainless steel cooktops, refer to the
Stainless steel surfaces section.
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in
an oven, drawer or near the cooktop. Do not
store or use combustible materials, gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Control Knobs
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.

it doesn’t fall when released. With
fingers of the same hand, firmly
push back the wire cover holder.
Lift off the cover.
Do not remove any screws to remove the cover.
Replace bulb with a 40-watt
appliance bulb.

Oven Light Replacement (on some models)
WARNING: SHOCK OR
BURN HAZARD: Before replacing oven
light bulb, disconnect the electrical power
to the range at the main fuse or circuit
breaker panel. Failure to do so may result
in electric shock or burn.
CAUTION: BURN HAZARD:
The glass cover and bulb should be
removed when cool. Touching hot glass
with bare hands or a damp cloth can
cause burns.
To remove:
Turn the glass cover
counterclockwise 1/4 turn until
the tabs of the glass cover clear the
grooves of the socket. Wearing latex
gloves may offer a better grip.
Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb by pulling it straight out.
To replace:
Use a new 120/130-volt halogen
bulb, not to exceed 50 watts.
Replace the bulb with the same type
of bulb that was removed. Your
model will have one of the two types
shown on the left. To determine
the correct replacement bulb, check
the bulb terminals. Bulbs with 2
straight pin terminals are G6.35
bulbs. Bulbs with 2 looped terminals
are G9 bulbs. (Do not interchange.)
Be sure the replacement bulb is
rated 120 volts or 130 volts (NOT
12 volts).
Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb from its packaging. Do not
touch the bulb with bare fingers.
Oil from skin will damage the bulb
and shorten its life.
Push the bulb straight into the
receptacle all the way.
Place the tabs of the glass cover into
the grooves of the socket. Turn the
glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.
For improved lighting inside the
oven, clean the glass cover
frequently using a wet cloth. This
should be done when the oven is
completely cool.
Reconnect electrical power to
the range.

become displaced on the door, you should
have it replaced.
To clean the inside of the door:
I Because the area inside the gasket is

I The area outside the gasket and
the door liner can be cleaned with a
soap-filled or plastic scouring pad,
hot water and detergent. Rinse well

To clean the outside of the door:
I Use soap and water to thoroughly
clean the top, sides and front of the

use a glass cleaner to clean the glass
on the outside of the door. Do not let
water drip into the vent openings.
I If any stain on the door vent trim is
persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner
and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
I Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,
tomato sauces and basting materials

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:
I Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
I Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
I Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
I Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
I Do not leave children alone—children
should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
I Have the installer show you the location
of the range gas shut-off valve and how to
shut it off if necessary.
I 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.
I Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
I Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the range before operating
it to prevent fire or smoke damage should
the packaging material ignite.
I Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
I 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.
I 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 Instructions packed with
the range.
I 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 (U.S.). Do not use an extension cord
with this appliance.
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.
I Keep the hood and grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease
fires.
I Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the range.
I Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance

I Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance from your
range.
I Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
I Do not clean the range with flammable or
volatile cleaning fluids.
I 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.
I Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp
instruments, or with rings and other
jewelry.
I Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the oven door, storage drawer or
cooktop. They could damage the range
and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
CAUTION: Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a range or
on the backsplash of a range—children climbing
on the range to reach items could be seriously
injured.
I For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
I Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.
I Do not clean the range when the appliance
is in use.
I 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.
I Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range storage drawer or near a
cooktop.
I Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
I Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.
I 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.
I 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.
I Flame in the oven 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.
I Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving
them where children can reach them.
I 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 storage drawer or kick panel.
I Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the
cooktop can lead to damage and improper
operation of the range.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: NEVER 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 cooktop or oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large
enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food
properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering
or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
I Always use the LITE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
I Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
I Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
I 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.
I When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
I 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.
I Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
I Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
I 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.
I If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slowly.
I Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
I Do not operate the burner without all burner
parts in place.
I Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling
I the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers
when food is added.
I Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
I 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.
I 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.
I Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
I Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
I Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
I 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.
I If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and create a fire hazard.
I 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.
I Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
I When disabling range lock-out, make
sure the surface controls are set to the OFF
position. This will preclude gas flow when the
range is turned on.
WARNING!
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating 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.
I 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.
I Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny,
silver-colored oven racks (on some models)
and all other cookware.
I Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (on some
models) may be cleaned in the oven during the
self-clean cycle.
I Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
I If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.
I Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

I Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
I Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
I Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
I Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holder contact the
heating elements.
I When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
I 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.
I Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
I Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items
stored in an oven can ignite.
I Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
I Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.
Improper installation of aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
I Make sure a broiler pan is in place correctly to
reduce the possibility of grease fires.
I If you should have a grease fire in a broiler pan,
press the CLEAR/OFF pad and keep the oven
door closed to contain fire until it burns out.
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
WARNING!

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it to
the LITE position.
You will hear a clicking noise—the sound
of the electric spark igniting the burner.
After the flame lights, turn the knob to
adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at
LITE, it will continue to click.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all
the burners spark. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner
while another burner is on. An electric
shock may result, which could cause you
to knock over hot cookware.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to the LITE position.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames
extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat. The flame size on a gas
burner should match the cookware
you are using.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to heat
the handle.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
I Make sure all grates on the range are in
place before using any burner.
I If your range has the Range Lock-Out
feature, make sure it is disabled before
attempting to light the surface burners.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
I 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.
I Be sure the burners and grates are
cool before you place your hand,
a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other materials on them.
Using the gas surface burners.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has four sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience,
cleanability and flexibility to be used in
a wide range of cooking applications.
The smallest burner in the right rear
position is the simmer burner. This burner
can be turned to LO for a very low simmer
setting. It provides precise cooking
performance for delicate foods such
as sauces or foods that require low heat
for a long cooking time.
The medium (left rear) and the large
(left front) burners are the primary
burners for most cooking. These general-
purpose burners can be turned from HI to
LO to suit a wide range of cooking needs.
The extra large burner (right front) is
the maximum output burner. Like the
other three burners, it can be turned
from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking
applications; however, this burner is
designed to quickly bring large amounts
of liquid to a boil. It has a special POWER
BOIL™setting designed to be used with
cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter.

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.
NOTE: If range lock-out is in use at the time of a
power failure, the surface burners cannot be lit.
Wok This Way
We recommend that you use a 14-inch (35.6 cm)
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.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Stove Top Grills
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed
gas burners. If you use the stove top grill
on the sealed gas burner, it will cause
incomplete combustion and can result
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards.
This can be hazardous to your health.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in
an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with
tight-fitting lids when cooking with
minimum amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may
melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware—those for oven use only
and those for top-of-range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots).
Glass conducts heat very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used
for either surface or oven cooking. It
conducts heat very slowly and cools very
slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on gas
ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has
poor heating properties and is usually
combined with copper, aluminum
or other metals for improved heat
distribution. Combination metal skillets
usually work satisfactorily if they are used
with medium heat as the manufacturer
recommends.

Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature.
The control will beep when the oven is preheated
and the display will show your set temperature.
The preheat time will vary depending on the
temperature setting.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least 1″
(2.5 cm) to 11⁄2″ (3.8 cm) of air space
around it.
Do not place foods directly on the
oven floor.
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.
CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate
the electric ignition oven during an electrical
power failure.
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a
power failure. Gas will not flow unless the
glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power
failure occurs, the oven burner shuts
off and cannot be re-lit until power is
restored. This is because the flow of gas is
automatically stopped and will not resume
when power is restored until the glow bar
has reached operating temperature.
Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through one vent
located toward the rear of the range. Do
not block this vent 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.
I Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.
I Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
I 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.
I Metal items will become very hot if they are
left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

Broiling Guide
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 (60°C)
means some food poisoning
organisms may survive.” (Source:
Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen
Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible burns, place the
racks in the desired position before you turn the
oven on.
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.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
over-browning them.
Touch the START 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.
NOTE: Broil will not work if the temperature
probe is plugged in.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product may result in
damage to the probe or oven control.
Use the handles of the probe and plug
when inserting and removing them from
the food and outlet.
I To avoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
I To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food
is completely defrosted before inserting.
I To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the
probe from the outlet until the oven has
cooled.
I Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
I Do not store the probe in the oven.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet in the oven.
After preparing the meat and placing
it on a trivet or on a broiler pan grid,
follow these directions for proper probe
placement.
Insert the probe completely into the
meat. It should not touch bone, fat
or gristle.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe
into the meatiest part of the roast. For
bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe
into the center of the lowest large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes
such as meat loaf or casseroles.

Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple racks.
Multi-rack baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods, but the overall
result is time saved. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits, and other quick breads give
good results with multi-rack baking.
When baking on 3 racks, place one

For best results in this oven, preheat the oven
and use the temperature on the package.
Convection Fan
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air
over, under and around the food.
This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods
are evenly cooked and browned—often in less
time with convection heat.
NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on

Before using your convection oven,
check to see if your cookware leaves
room for air circulation in the oven.
If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended for
use in regular baking can also be used
for convection baking, but should not

that is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F (204°C) can also be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
I Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
I Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.

Convection Roast
I Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Meat and poultry are browned on all
sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting,
it is important that you use a broiler pan
and grid designed for broiling for best
convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills, and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters while
heated air circulates under the meat to
increase browning on the underside
of the meat or poultry.
I Place the oven rack in the position
that centers the food between the top
and bottom of the oven.
When baking cookies, you will
get the best results if you use a
flat cookie sheet instead of a

The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products.
How to Set the Oven For Proofing
Place the covered dough in a dish in
the oven on rack B or C.
NOTE: For best results, cover the dough with a
cloth or with greased plastic wrap (the plastic
may need to be anchored underneath the
container so the oven fan will not blow it off).
Touch the PROOF pad and then the
START pad.
The display will read PrF (proof).
The oven interior light turns on and
remains on during proofing.
The proofing feature automatically
provides the optimum temperature for
the proofing process, and therefore does
not have a temperature adjustment.
Set the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF for
the minimum proof time.
When proofing is finished, touch
the CLEAR/OFF pad.
I To avoid lowering the oven temperature
and lengthening proofing time, do not
open the oven door unnecessarily.
I Check bread products early to avoid
over-proofing.
NOTE:
I Do not use the proofing mode for warming
food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven
temperature is not hot enough to hold foods
at safe temperatures. Use the WARM feature
to keep food warm.
I Proofing will not operate when oven is above
125°F (52°C). “HOT” will show in the display.
How to Set the Oven For Warming
The WARM feature keeps cooked
foods hot.
This feature is not designed to reheat
cold food.
To use the WARM feature, touch the
WARM pad and then the START pad.
To use the WARM feature after Timed
Baking or Roasting, follow these steps:
Touch the mode of cooking that
you want to use (BAKE, CONVECTION
BAKE MULTI/1 RACK or CONVECTION
ROAST).
Touch the number pads to set the
oven temperature.
Touch the COOKING TIME pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired length of cooking time.
Touch the WARM pad.
Touch the START pad.
To Crisp Stale Items
I Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.
I For best results, place the food items in
a single layer. Do not stack.
I Leave them uncovered.
I Check crispness after 20–30 minutes.
Add time as needed.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
I Food should be kept hot in its cooking
container or transferred to a heat-safe
serving dish.
I For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe
lid or aluminum foil.
I Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered,
but can become too dry if warmed for too long.
I Repeated opening of the door allows the hot
air to escape and the food to cool.
I Allow extra time for the temperature inside the
oven to stabilize after adding items.
I With large loads it may be necessary to cover
some of the cooked food items.
I Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
containers in the oven.
I Do not use plastic containers, lids or plastic
wrap.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat
yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees F (11–22 degrees C).
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking, convection baking (on some models) and convection roasting
(on some models) temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be
retained in memory after a power failure.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the BROIL HI/LO and BAKE
pads at the same time for 3 seconds
until the display shows SF.
Touch the BAKE pad. A two-digit
number shows in the display.
Touch BAKE again to alternate
between increasing and decreasing
the oven temperature.
The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 35ºF (19°C)
hotter or (-) 35ºF (19°C) cooler.
Touch the number pads the same
way you read them. For example, to
change the oven temperature 15ºF
(8°C), touch 1 and 5.
When you have made the
adjustment, touch the START pad to
go back to the time of day display.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
U.S. federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on
the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and
flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing
at least 70% vegetable oil.

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, probe and any aluminum foil
from the oven—they cannot withstand
the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE:
I The shiny, silver-colored oven racks
(on some models) can be self-cleaned,

and become hard to slide.
I If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven racks, they may
be left in the oven during the self-clean

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.

Burner Grates and Vent Grille
Porcelain enamel burner grates and the
vent grille should be washed regularly
and, of course, after spillovers.
The grates may be washed either in the
dishwasher or you may wash them in hot
soapy water and rinse with clean water.
You may also use abrasive cleaners and
scouring pads to clean burner grates and
the vent grille. Dry the grates and grille
with a cloth—don’t put them back on the
cooktop wet.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the
grates and grille in a covered container.
Add 1/4 cup (59 mL) ammonia and let
them soak several hours or overnight.
Wash, rinse well and dry.
Although they’re durable, the grates
and grille will gradually lose their shine,
regardless of the best care you can give
them. This is due to their continual
exposure to high temperatures.
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.
After cleaning, replace the center vent
grille first. Replace the side grates so that
the center extensions are oriented toward
the center of the cooktop. The rear
center extensions should slightly overlap
the vent grille. Make sure the grates are
positioned securely over the burners and
that they are stable and level.
Rubber Grate Feet
For stability, your cooktop has rubber
feet on the burner grates. If any of these
rubber feet should become damaged or
lost, replace them immediately.
To order replacement rubber grate feet,
please call our toll-free number:

Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills right
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull
spot if allowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash
and rinse. For other spills such as fat
spatterings, etc., wash with soap and water
once the surface has cooled. Then rinse
and polish with a dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation of the
range.
NOTE: For stainless steel cooktops, refer to the
Stainless steel surfaces section.
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in
an oven, drawer or near the cooktop. Do not
store or use combustible materials, gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Control Knobs
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.

All oven racks may be cleaned by hand
with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.
After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean
water and dry with a clean cloth. Gray
porcelain-coated oven racks may remain
in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle
without being damaged. The shiny, silver-
colored oven racks may remain in the
oven during the self-cleaning cycle, but
they will lose their luster and become
hard to slide.
It will be necessary to grease all oven
rack side edges with a light coating of
vegetable oil after cleaning them by hand
or in the oven. This will help maintain
the ease of sliding the racks in and
out of the oven.

NOTE: The glass cover should be

not to exceed 50 watts.
Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb from its packaging. Do not
touch the bulb with bare fingers.
Push the bulb straight into the
receptacle all the way.
Place the tabs of the glass cover into
