11. DO NOT use a wet pot holder.

Steam burns can result. DO NOT use a towel or bulky cloth as a pot holder. They could catch fire and burn you. 12. MAKE SURE the utensils you use are large enough to contain food and avoid boil overs and spillovers. This will help prevent hazardous build-ups of food. Heavy splatterings or spillovers left on a range can ignite and burn you. Pan size is especially important in deep fat frying. 13. DO NOT leave surface burners on high heat settings. Boil overs and greasy spillovers could cause steam, smoke and could ignite and burn you. 14. GREASE is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease to collect around range or in vents. Wipe spillovers immediately. 15. NEVER use a match or other flame to look for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could result. 16. DO NOT repair or replace any parts unless specifically recom- mended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified service technician. 17. Because of the automatic exhaust fan system, the following cautions must be observed: a. Do not leave the area when using your cooktop at a high set- ting. Accidental fires from boilovers or spattering on the sur- face burners could spread, especially if the exhaust fan is operating. b. Do not operate the exhaust vent system without the filters in place. Grease could accumulate in the venting system and cause a fire hazard. c. Do not allow grease and soil to build up in the grease filters. Exhaust fan efficiency will de- crease and fire may result. Clean often following the filter cleaning instructions on page 22. d. Do not “flame” foods when oper- ating the exhaust fan. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame and cause personal injury or property damage. . FOR YOUR SAFETY. DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THEY COULD IGNITE CAUSING EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE. - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - Copy your Model and Serial Numbers here... If you need service, or call with a question, have this information ready: 1.

OVEN SELECTOR I LEFl FRONT ’ LEFT REAR SURFACE RIGHT RiAR RiGHT FRONT CONTROL KNOB CONTROL KNOB BURNER CONTROL KNOB CONTROL KNOB INDICATOR Dual-Level Exhaust Vent System Your Range/Microwave Combination has a dual-level exhaust vent system for removal of steam, grease and cooking odors. You may use the lower vent alone or add the top vent for maximum venting. The lower vents are located above the cooktop [underneath the microwave oven]. The top vent is located above the microwave oven (behind the upper vent door). To use only the lower vent: To use both vents: l Raise the vent door above the microwave oven. l Turn on desired fan speed by following directions at left l Push the Exhaust switch down to the right for HIGH fan speed. l Push the switch down to the left for LOW fan speed. . Center the switch to turn the vent system OFF. 6 NOTE: It the temperature gets too hot around the microwave oven when it is in use, the exhaust fan will automatically turn on, or change to the HIGH setting. If this occurs it cannot be turned off with the EXHAUST switch. It will stay on until the area cools down or until the microwave oven shuts off. This protects the oven.

Using the Surface

Burners Control knobs must be pushed in, then turned to the LITE position. The clicking sound is the ignition sparking. To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights, turn the control knob back to a desired setting. The control knob has stops for HI, MED and LOW, however it can be set anywhere be- tween HI and OFF. Do not cook with the control in the LITE position.

Using the Self-Cleaning

Cycle The self-cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil. Before you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the cycle safely. Before You Start 1. Clean the shaded areas by hand. They do not get hot enough dur- ing the Self-Clean cycle for soil to burn awav. Use hot water and detergent’or a soapy steel-wool pod on... l the frame around the oven. l the inside of the door, especially the Dart outside the oven seal. DO NOT clean the fiberglass seal. DO NOT move if or bend if. Poor cleaning and poor baking will result. 2. Remove the rocks, broiler pan and any pots and pans you may hove stored in the oven. They can’t stand the high heat. 3. Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke and possible flare-ups during the cleaning cycle. Oven racks and chrome reflec- for pans must not be cleaned in I II I I1111 v the oven. They will warp and discolor. DO NOT I Clean Seal Clean Door Turn on the vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cleaning cycle. This will help remove heat and odors that ore normal during the cycle. SPECIAL CAUTIONS: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Damage to the porcelain finish may occur, DO NOT force the Lock Lever, you could bend or break it. The lever is designed to stay locked until the oven is cool enough to safely open Wait until it moves freely. DO NOT use foil or other liners in the oven. During the cleaning cycle foil con burn or melt and damage the oven surface. 16

Setting the Controls for Self-Cleaning

Be sure the kitchen is ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle. This will help remove heat and odors that are normal during the cycle. 1. Make sure the clock on the upper control panel is set to the correct time of day. (See “Upper Micro- wave Oven Use & Care Guide” for instructions.) 2. Touch the START TIME Pad. Then touch the number pads for the time you want cleaning to start. (Option: Skip this step if you want cleaning to start immediately.) 3. Touch the STOP TIME Pad. Touch the number pads to set the clean- ing time you want (3-hours). Exam- ple: If time of day is 3:00, touch “6:’ “0:’ “0” for cleaning to stop at 600. 5. Move the Lock Lever to the CLEAN position. Touch START TIME pad. This will start the Self-Cleaning Cycle. If the door is not com- pletely closed or the lever is not all the way to the right, the cycle will not start. When the oven temperature exceeds 500°F (300%], the oven door can’t be opened and the Lock Lever must not be moved, 4. Set the Oven Selector and the Oven Temperature Control to CLEAN. 6. After the Clean Cycle is com- pleted and the oven tempera- ture has dropped below 500°F (3OO’C], the Lock Lever can be moved back to the COOK posi- tion Do not force it. Wait until it will move easily. Turn the Oven Se- lector and the Oven Temperature Control to OFF.

Cleaning a very smoke. soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual. 18

During the self-cleaning

cycle, the oven gets much hotterthan it does for baking or broiling...approximotely 875’F (468-C). This heat breaks up grease and soil and burns it off The graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a self-cleaning cycle for 3 hours.

If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these five steps: 1. Before calling for assistance... Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix without tools of any kind. If nothing operates: l Is the range properly connected to gas and electrical supplies? (See “Installation Instructionsl’) l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box? l Is the flow of combustion and/or ventilation air to the range blocked? Do not block the air flow to and around the range. If the oven will not operate: l Is the Oven Selector turned to TIMED BAKE instead of a setting? l Is the Oven Temperature Control turned to a temperature setting? If burner fails to light: l Is the range connected to electrical power? l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box? l Are burner ports clogged? (See page 20.) If burner flames are uneven: l Are burner ports clogged? (See page 20.) If burner flames Itft off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when turned off: l The air/gas mixture may be incor- rect. (Call for service.) If burner makes a popping noise when ON: l Is the burner wet from washing? Let dry. If control knob(s) will not turn: l Did you push in before trying to turn? If the Self-Cleaning Crole will not operate: l Is the Oven Selector set on CLEAN and the Oven Temperature Control set on OFF? l Does the clock show the correct time of day? l Is Stop Time set ahead to the time you want the cleaning cycle to stop? l Is the Lock Lever all the way to the right? If cooking results aren’t what you expected: l Is the range level? l Are you using pans recommended in the Cooking Guide? l Does the flame size fit the cooking utensil being used? (See the Cook- ing Guide.) l If baking, have you allowed IYz to 2 inches (4-5 cm] on all sides of the pans for air circulation? l Have you preheated the oven be- fore cooking? l Are the pans the size called for in the recipe? l Are you following a tested recipe from a reliable source? l If broiling, have you completely closed the oven door? Blanket-O- Flame@ Broiler provides best cook- ing results with the door closed. l Do the cooking utensils have smooth, flat bottoms? See the Cooking Guide for more infor- mation on cooking problems and how to solve them. 25
