shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the oven, fo ow basic precautions, inc uding the fo owing: 1. Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The appliance must be installed and electrically grounded according to local codes. Have this technician show the the location of the gas shut-off valve on the range so you know where and how to turn off the gas if necessary. IN MASSACHUSETTS: All gas products must be installed by a "Massachusetts" licensed plumber or gasfitter. 2. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. A qualified technician is required for any adjustments or conversions to Nat. or LP gas. 3. The "push-to-turn" knobs of this range are designed to be child- safe. However, children should not be left alone in the kitchen while the range is in use. Do not store items of interest to children over the unit. CAUTION: Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured. 4. GREASE is flammable and should be handled carefully. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan by covering utensil completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of utensil can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher. 5. Never leave the surface area unattended at high heat setting. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spill-overs which may ignite. 6. If you are "flaming" liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control. 7. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. 8. Never use your range for warming or heating a room. This is based on safety considerations. 9. Use proper pan size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. Using undersized utensils allows the flame to come up the side of the utensil, scorching the outside of the utensil and making cleanup harder. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 15. 17. 18. 19. The flame of the open-top burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause scorching of adjacent countertop surfaces, as well as the outside of the utensil. This is based on safety considerations. Use dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot surface areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward toward the center of the range, and so that it does not extend over adjacent burners. Surface areas near burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch areas near burners until they have had sufficient time to cool. No oven liner protection coating such as aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of the oven. Improper oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Keep oven free from grease build-up. Once the unit is installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. Ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated. Keep natural venting holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device. Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may call for additional (such as opening a window) or more effective ventilation (such as increasing the level of a mechanical ventilation if present). The flueway must also remain clear. Storage cabinet area above the unit must be 36" (91.4 cm) and cannot project more than 13" (33.0 cm) outward from the rear wall. Beware of potential hazards associated with retrieving items from such cabinets when the unit is in operation. Keep area clean and free from combustible material, gasoline, and other flammable liquids. Do not heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure may cause the container to explode and result in injury. 4 5

Cooking Utensils Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking utensils that are most appropriate for the type cooking being done. Any and all cooking utensils are suitable for use in the range and it is not necessary to replace your present domestic utensils with commercial cookware. This a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience. NOTE: WHEN USING BIG POTS AND/OR HIGH FLAMES, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE THE FRONT BURNERS. THERE IS MORE ROOM IN THE FRONT AND POTENTIAL CLEANUP OF REAR OR APPLIANCE DUE TO STAINING OR DISCOLORATION WILL BE MINIMIZED. Before You Use Your New Range All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean the range thoroughly with hot, soapy water. Steel Griddle/Simmer Plate (If applicable) The griddle is a heavy-weight, polished steel griddle that has a USDA authorized protective coating. Before using, remove protective coating using a Scotch Brite ® soft scour pad. It is very important to season the griddle by coating lightly with cooking oil. Grill (If applicable) The grates should be removed and washed in hot soapy water, rinsed and then replaced prior to use. Other grill parts should be removed, dusted, and replaced making sure that no flammable materials have been accidentally placed in the grill. Wok Pan w/Lid (If applicable) Remove all packaging materials and temporary labels from the wok. Clean thoroughly with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil (do not use corn oil) to the entire inside surface with a paper towel. Heat the wok on medium setting until the cooking surface turns golden brown. Repeat this procedure several times. This seasoning seals the pores of the metal, keeps food from sticking, and prevents the wok from rusting. Wipe off excess oil before using or storing. Drip Tray/Pan The drip tray should be pulled out and checked for flammable materials. Make sure to unwrap the drip pan and replace it in its proper place under the griddle or grill (if applicable). Oven Before first use, wipe interior with soapy water and dry thoroughly. Basic Functions of Your Oven NATURAL AIRFLOW BAKE Heat is radiated from the two bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated with natural airflow. This is your traditional bake setting INFRARED BROIL The broil burner at the top of the oven heats the metal screen until it glows. The glowing screen produces the infrared heat, searing the outside of broiled foods and sealing in juices. 6 7

cavity and is circulated by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. It provides more even heat distribution throughout the oven cavity for all uses. Multiple rack use is possible for the largest baking job. When roasting, cool air is quickly replaced - searing meats on the outside and retaining more juices and natural flavor on the inside with less shrinkage. INFRARED CONVECTION BROIL Exactly the same as regular broiling with the additional benefit of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The cool air is quickly replaced-improving the already high performance of the infrared broil burner. CONVECTION DEHYDRATE With the temperature control on 175°F, warm air is radiated from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Over a period of time, the water is removed from the food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes. It is important to remember that dehydration does not improve the quality, so only fresh, top-quality foods should be used, CONVECTION DEFROST With temperature control off, air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The fan accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours. Using Your Range Lighting the Burners Surface Burners-Automatic Reignition To light the surface burners, turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to any position. This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any "on" position with the automatic reignition system. If the flame goes out for any reason, the burners will automatically reignite if the gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On all surface igniters you should hear a "clicking" sound. If you do not, turn off the control and check that the unit is plugged in and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped. Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to be able to light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control to any position to adjust the flame size. Setting the proper height for the desired cooking process and selected utensil will result in superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy. 8 ?

Griddle/Simmer Plate, Bake Burner, Infrared Burner Turning the thermostat counter clockwise to any "on" position activates a glo-bar igniter and opens an electromechanical valve in the system to start the gas valve. The griddle has a power "ON" light which glows when the griddle thermostat is turned on. the light cycles on and off with the burner, it is not possible to use both the infrared burner and the bake burners at the same time. The design of the system will not permit this, both for control of bake/broiler and for safety of use. Griddle/Simmer Plate Operation *Turn the griddle control knob to desired temperature setting. *Always turn off when not in use, or lower the heat between cooking loads. Cooking Tips *Preheat griddle at the desired temperature. Wait until light cycles off for indication that the desired temperature has been reached and the griddle is preheated. *Use liquid cooking oil, cooking sprays, or butter for eggs, pancakes, French toast, fish and sandwiches. This will help to reduce sticking. Meats usually have enough natural oils. *Remove food particles with a metal spatula during cooking to make the cleanup easier and to avoid including those particles in the food. *Do not overheat the griddle. Turn it off when not in use, or lower heat between cooking loads. *After using and cleaning the griddle, the surface should be wiped with a light film of cooking oil to protect the finish from rust and corrosion.

Grill Cooking Tips *When grilling chicken, roasts, well clone steaks or chops and thick pieces of meat, sear on HI. Then, reduce the heat setting to prevent excessive flare-up. This will allow the food to cook through without burning the outside. *After steaks, chops, or hamburgers have been allowed to sear for approximately 1 minute, you may slide a spatula under the meat and turn it approximately 90° so that a waffle pattern will be seared onto the food. *Use a metal spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat. A spatula will not puncture the meat allowing juices to escape. *Turn the meat over only once. Juices are lost when steaks, chops or hamburgers are turned several times. The best time to turn the meat is after the juices have begun to bubble to the surface. *To test for doneness, make a small slash in the center of the meat, not the edge. This will prevent loss of juices. *Occasionally there may be flare-ups or flames above the grill due to drops of fat falling onto the flame spreader. It is normal to have some flare-up during grilling. Use a long handled spatula to move food to another area until the flames subside.

The control can be set at any temperature from 150°F to 550°F, or broil Always be sure the controls are in the "Off" position when the oven is not in use. Natural Airflow Baking/Convection Baking Preheating Preheating the oven is not necessary when using temperatures below 250°R For best results, it is extremely important that you preheat the oven when baking cakes and other items that have critical baking temperatures. After the temperature control has been set, the Oven Indicator light goes out when the oven reaches that temperature. Preheating takes no longer than 10-15 minutes. Natural Airflow Baking This conventional baking/roasting is particularly suitable for dishes which require a high temperature. Many cookbooks contain recipes to be cooked in the conventional manner. This type of baking is only recommended for single-rack baking. Convection Baking For all convection functions, the convection fan switch on the right side of the control panel must be turned "ON". Convection baking is the process of cooking food with a flow of heated air circulating throughout the oven cavity. The even circulating of this air equalizes the temperature throughout the oven cavity and eliminates the hot and cold spots found in conventional ovens. This feature can make a significant difference in foods prepared in the oven. A major benefit of convection baking is the ability to prepare food in quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible . . . a feature not possible in a standard oven. With this heating system, the air is distributed evenly throughout the oven by the hot air fan. The heat therefore reaches the food to be baked or roasted more quickly. With this heating method, foods can be baked and roasted at the same time with minimal taste transfer, even when different dishes are involved, such as cakes, fish, or meat. The hot air system is especially economical when thawing frozen food. Rack Positions Each convection oven is equipped with three tilt-proof racks, and each convectional oven is equipped with two-tilt proof racks. All ranges have five rack positions and the 24" deep models have an additional 6th rack position. Position 5 or 6 (depending on the model) is the farthest from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The racks can Be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For Best results with conventional baking, do not use more than one rack at a time. It is also recommended when using two racks, to bake with the racks on position 4 and 2. 16 17

Position 4 II I !/P°siti°n 2 I.J l ' ' [__Pos t on 1 ===_" _ , o _ °'-.._ I-% ...................... --- I _11 LJ U To Bake: 1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired position BEFORE heating the oven. If cooking on two racks at the same time, use rack positions 2 and 4. 2. Set the Temperature Control to the desired temperature. 3. Place the food in the oven after the Oven Indicator light goes out. Pan Placement Tips *When using large (15" x 13" [38 cm x 33 cm]) flat pans or trays that cover most of the rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results. .Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans are used. No pan should be directly above another. .Allow 1 1/2" to 2" (3.8 cm to 5.1 cm) of air space around all sides of each pan for even air circulation. *When baking on more than one rack, it is recommended to use the 2nd and 4th position for more consistent even baking. Baking Tips • As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection recipes, reduce the temperature by 25°F and the cooking time by approximately 10 to 15%. • Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require adjustment and testing when converting from standard to convection modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by preparing the recipe in conventional bake. After achieving acceptable results, follow the convection guidelines listed for the similar food type. If the food is not prepared to your satisfaction during the first convection trial, adjust only one recipe variable at a time (cooking time, rack position, or temperature) and repeat the convection test. Continue adjusting one recipe variable at a time until satisfactory results are achieved. • Make sure the oven racks are in the desired positions before you turn the oven on. • For best results, always preheat the oven. • Do not open the oven door frequently during baking. If you must open the door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking time. • Bake to shortest time suggested and check for doneness before adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in the center of the product should come clean when done. • Use good quality baking pans and sizes recommended in the recipe; warped, dented, or burned pans should not be used. • Shiny metal pans are preferred for baking items such as cakes, cookies, and muffins because they produce light, golden crusts clue to heat being reflected by the metal. • Glass pans may also be used for cake baking. Reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees when using a glass pan, but bake for the same amount of time called for in the recipe. • Pies are best baked in pans which absorb and hold heat. Glass, enamel, dull-finished metal, and porcelain enamel finish give pies a golden brown crust. 18 19

Check the chart for the causes and remedies for the most common problems, it is important to remember that the temperature setting and cooking times you are accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary slightly from those required with this oven. If you find this to be true, it is necessary for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times accordingly. BAKING PROBLEMREMEDIES PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY Food browns Improper heating Preheat until oven Jnevenly indicator light goes out. Remove foil.

Leave at least 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) or more space between all utensils and oven walls. Use correct utensil Lower oven temperature 25°F (-3.8 °C) for this type of utensil. Lower oven temperature Check food at minimum time. Use a cookie sheet (not a baking pan). Use light, shiny cookie sheet. Lower oven temperature Allow cookie sheet to cool between batches. Lower temperature; if using glass pan, lower 2S°F (-3.8 °C) Conventional/Convection Roasting Tips Always use the broiler pan and grid supplied with each oven. The hot air must be allowed to circulate around the item being roasted. Do not cover what is being roasted. Convection roasting seals in juices quickly for a moist, tender product. Poultry will have a light, crispy skin, and meats will be browned, not dry or burned. Cook meats and poultry directly from the refrigerator. There is no need for meat or poultry to stand at room temperature. *Always roast meats fat side up. No basting is required when the fat side is up. Do not add water to the pan, as this will cause a steamed effect. Roasting is a dry-heat process. *Poultry should be placed breast side up on the grid in the broiler pan. Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during roasting. *For convection roasting, do not use pans with tall sides, as this will interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food. *if using a cooking bag, foil tent, or other cover, use conventional baking rather than convection. *When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry, insert the thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part of the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat, or gristle to ensure an accurate reading. Check the meat thermometer 2/3 of the way through the recommended roasting time. After reading the thermometer once, insert it 1/2" (1.3 cm) further into the meat, then take a second reading. If the second reading registers below the first, continue cooking the meat. *Roasting times always vary according to the size, shape, and quality of meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best prepared in the conventional bake setting and may require moist cooking techniques. Remove roasted meats from the oven when the thermometer registers 5°F to 10°F (-15°C to -12°C) lower than the desired doneness. The meat will continue to cook after removal from the oven.

infrared broiler design-certified for residential use. The method preferred by professional cooks to sear in the nutrition, flavors, and juices of meat, poultry, and fish is now possible in the home. The infrared broiler cooks up to 50% faster than other methods. Its intense, penetrating heat produces a more attractive, professional finish. The broil burner heats the metal screen located at the top of the oven until it glows. The glowing screen produces the infrared heat, searing the outside of broiled food and sealing in the juices. Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or indirect radiant heat. It is used for small individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and patties. Broiling is most successful for cuts 1-2 inches (2.54-5.1 cm) thick. Conventional broiling is also more suitable for flat pieces of meat. Infrared Convection Broiling Convection broiling has the advantage of broiling food slightly quicker than conventional. Convection broiling of meats produces better results especially for extra thick cuts. The meat sears on the outside and retains more juices and natural flavor inside with less shrinkage. Rack Positions: The broiler uses infrared heat rays to help cook the food. Because these rays can travel only in straight lines, the effective cooking area of the broiler is reduced when using the higher rack positions. At high rack positions, the rays cannot reach all corners of the broiler grid, so larger pieces of meat might not broil sufficiently at the outer edges. Position 6 is the closest to the broiler and position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The effective cooking areas on the broiler grid for each rack -- position are as follows: 15% 2O% 35% 1 To use the Infrared Broiler: 1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired position. 2. Center food on cold broiler pan and grid supplied with your oven. Place broiler pan in oven and close the door. 3. Set the Temperature Control dial to BROIL. Broiling Tips • Always use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface to help prevent spatter, smoke and fire. • Place broiler pan with food in recommended rack position. • To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge. • Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler grid. • Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time, season and turn. Season second side just before removing. • Always pull rack out to stop position before turning or removing food. • Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. Never pierce meat with a fork as this allows the juices to escape. • Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated oven after broiling. While pan is hot, place damp paper towel over grid. Drizzle with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour water over grid. This will make cleaning of the pan easier, or the broiler pan can be lined with aluminum foil to make cleaning easier. Be sure the foil extends up the side of the pan. Although it is not recommended, the grid can also be covered with foil. Be sure to slit openings to conform with the openings in the grid so melted fat can drain through to prevent spattering, smoking or possibility of grease fire. 26 27

(Not included with oven; Contact a local store handling specialty cooking utensils.) *Set the appropriate "low" temperature and turn the convection fan switch "ON". Convection Defrosting *Place the frozen food on a baking sheet. *Set Temperature Control "OFF".* *Turn the convection fan switch "ON". *IMPORTANT: Do not turn the Temperature Control on. Turning the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food without the heat. *WARNING: To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours. Cleaning and Maintenance Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your range must be kept clean and maintained properly. Open Surface Burners (If applicable) Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they occur and before they get a chance to burn in and cook solid. In the event of a spill- over, follow these steps: 1. Allow the burner and grate to cool to a safe temperature level. 2. Lift off the open burner grates. 3. If the spill is contained in the bowl of the grate support, just remove the bowl and clean in warm soapy water. 4. Lift the grate support off. 5. Wash these parts in hot, soapy water and rinse clean. 6. If the spill has gone lower than the grate supports, draw out the drip pan and wash with hot, soapy water. 28 29

clean with a straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort the ports. Do not use a toothpick to clean the ports. When replacing burner caps, carefully align the tabs underneath the cap with the outside edge of burner. Make sure burner cap is level. Occasionally check the burner for proper size and shape. If flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when turned on, you may need to clean the burners or call a qualified technician for adjustment. Sealed Surface Burners (If applicable) Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they occur and before they get a chance to burn in and cook solid. In the event of a spill- over, follow these steps: 1. Allow the burner and grate to cool to a safe temperature level. 2. Lift off the burner grates. 3. Remove the burner cap and clean per instructions below. 4. Wipe up any spills which remains on the sealed top surface. 5. Wash the grates and burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse clean. 6. Replace burner cap and grate after drying thoroughly. If ports on the burners are clogged, clean with a straight pin. Do not enlarge or disort the ports. Do not use a toothpick to clean the ports. Make sure burner cap is level. Occasionally check the burner for proper size and shape. If flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when turned on, you may need to clean the burners or call a qualified technician for adjustments. Burner Caps The surface burner caps should be routinely removed and cleaned. Always clean the burner caps after a spill over. Keeping the burner caps clean will prevent improper ignition and uneven flames. To clean, pull burner cap straight up from the burner base. Wipe off surface burner caps with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth after each use. Use a a non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami TM and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite TM pad for cooked-on foods. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. For best cleaning and to avoid possible rusting, do not clean in dishwasher or self-cleaning oven. When replacing burner caps, carefully align the tabs underneath the cap with the outside edge of burner. Make sure burner cap is level. Control Knobs MAKE SURE THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and warm water. Do not soak knobs. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem. DO NOT USE any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the knob. 3O Control Panel DO NOT USE any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy water and a soft clean cloth. Sealed Burner Aluminum Base (If applicable) The aluminum base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleanser, or powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak the area with at hot towel to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other material tool to scrape the aluminum base. NOTE: For stubborn stains, use non- abrasive cleanser such as Bon AmF Mand a soft brush or soft Scoth BriteTM pad. Griddle/Simmer Plate 1. After using the griddle, always remove the drip pan located below it by pulling the drip pan toward you. The drip pan needs to be cleaned after each use of the griddle. Cooked-off grease will drain from the griddle through the drain tube and accumulate in the drip pan. Wash in hot soapy water or with an antibacterial cleaner. The drip pan needs to be cleaned after each use. If grease is permitted to accumulate, fire hazard could occur, since the griddle burners are directly above the pan. 2. Rub the surface of a hot griddle with unsalted solid shortening, vegetable oil or spray it with a non-stick cooking spray. Thoroughly wipe it with a burlap or another rough cloth to remove food particles and other residue. 3. Stubborn spots may be removed by rubbing the surface with a rough grained nylon scrubbing pad with cooking oil. If necessary, flush the surface of a warm griddle (200°F/93°C) with club soda and wipe over entire surface with a paper towel. Coat lightly with cooking oil. 4. Special griddle cleaners are commercially available which may be used to remove heavy soil build-up. Follow manufacturer's directions exactly. Rinse the griddle with room temperature club soda after using these cleaners. Dry and coat lightly with cooking oil. Use griddle stones only when absolutely necessary and then with extreme caution. Wipe away any griddle-stone dust and food particles and coat lightly with cooking oil. 5. Using hot soapy water to clean the griddle will remove the cooked- in seasoning and will require re-seasoning by coating lightly with cooking oil. 8. Never flood a hot griddle with cold water! This promotes griddle warping and can cause the griddle plate to crack if continued over a period of time. 31

DO NOT USE BRASS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE BRASS OPTION PARTS. All brass parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water. Stainless Steel Parts All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with liquid stainless steel cleaner when soapy water will not do the job. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, abrasive cleaners, or powders. If necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. For occasional heavy cleaning use, a cleaner such as Liquid Zud can be used according to package directions. Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately. Glass Surface Clean with detergent and warm water. Glass cleaner can be used to remove fingerprints. If using glass cleaner ammonia, make sure that it does not run clown on exterior door surface. Wok Cast Iron Burner (If applicable) For proper lighting and performance of the burner, keep the electric igniter and burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean these only when the flame does not burn blue completely around all rings of the burner, when there is a severe spillover or when the burner does not light, even though the electric spark igniter sparks. Clean the burner by scraping off burned on food soil. Use a wire, a straightened paper clip, or needle to clean the ports. Do not use a toothpick; it could break off in the port. Be sure the venturi tube remains dry. Ventun tube /_\ ,,, -- i u urner J G P I I I I -- ,i Orifice 33

It is designed as self-contained unit, and no adjustments or cleaning are possible. Do not attempt to clean it. Its own operation burns off any impurities which may condense on it. Clean the broiler pan and grid after each use with detergent and hot water, for stubborn spots, use a soap-filled steel wool pad. The broiler pan and grid is also dishwasher safe. Oven Racks Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured with a soap-filled steel wool pad. Replacing Interior Oven Lights CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRIC POWER AT THE MAIN FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE REPLACING BULB. 1. Unscrew glass light cover. 2. Use an oven mitt during bulb removal to protect your hand in case the bulb breaks. 3. Replace the bulb with a 120 volt, 40-watt appliance bulb. 4. Replace the light cover 5. Reconnect power at the main fuse or circuit breaker. Power Failure If power failure occurs, the electric ignitors will not work. The range surface burners can still be used, but only when the burners are lit manually with a match. The griddle cannot be used at all. Do not attempt to operate the oven. Make sure the oven control is in the "OFF" position. Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal injury in attempting to light and extinguish the burner, the grill should, under no circumstances, be used during a power failure. The grill burner control should always remain in the "OFF" position during a power failure. Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will function properly without any adjustments. A "brown-out" may or may not affect range operation, depending on how severe the power loss is.
