Important Safety NoticeThe California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic EnforcementAct requires the Governor of California to publish a list ofsubstances known to the state to cause cancer, birthdefects or other reproductive harm, and requiresbusinesses to warn customers of potential exposure tosuch substances.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR OVEN• Use care when opening oven door , warmer

drawer or lower oven door—Stand to the side of therange when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot airor steam escape before you remove or replace food inthe oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The ovenvent is located below the backguard. Touching thesurfaces in this area when the oven is operating maycause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These itemscould melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racksin desired location while oven is cool. If rack must bemoved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Usepotholders and grasp the rack with both hands toreposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heatingelements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rackbefore moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. Thebroiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain andbe kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminumfoil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to linethe oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil asrecommended in this manual. Improper installation ofthese liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface burner.Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on,and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

• Always turn knob to the full LITE position whenigniting top burners. Visually check that burner haslit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyondthe edge of the utensil.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and notextend over adjacent surface burners—To reducethe risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, andspillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that itis turned inward, and does not extend over adjacentsurface burners.

• Never leave surface burners unattended at highheat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasyspillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled drymay melt.

• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass,glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazedutensils are suitable for cook top service withoutbreaking due to the sudden change in temperature.Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood,turn the fan on.

• Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, whichoperate by blowing a downward air flow on to a range,shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges otherthan when the hood and range have been designed,tested and listed by an independent test laboratory foruse in combination with each other.

WARNING

Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it doesnot extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use ofundersized utensils will expose a portion of the burnerflame to direct contact and may result in ignition ofclothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame willalso improve efficiency.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmfulby-products, do not use the cooktop without all burnercaps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gasflame size.

WARNING

CAUTION

To avoid possible burns DO NOT touch burner caps orsurface burner grates after using any of the surfaceburners. The surface burner grates, caps, and areasaround them may still be very hot. Provide sufficienttime for these areas and the parts to completely coolbefore handling.

Fig. 1 - correct burner capplacement

Be sure to review the Care & Cleaning section forcomplete detailed information about cleaning the burnercaps and proper burner cap placement.

Using the griddle (some models)

Before first use:• Wash griddle in hot soapy water.• Rinse and dry completely.

After each use:• To prevent possible rusting, store in a dry place and

keep uncovered.• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water

only, then rinse.• Dry immediately.• Do not clean griddle in the dishwasher.

Using the griddle:Remove the center burner grate (some models) andcarefully replace with the griddle.

For best results, preheat the griddle for 5 minutes onmedium or a medium low setting. Slow preheatingprovides more even heat distribution during the cookingprocess. Do not preheat the griddle on Hi setting.Preheating using a Hi burner setting may warp the griddleand prevent even heat distribution.

Fig. 2 - incorrect burner capplacement

Visually check for proper burner cap placement beforeoperating any of the surface burners (See Fig.1).

Before operating the cooktop, check forproper burner cap placement

If any of the surface burner caps appears to be restingunevenly, not centered or appears unlevel on the burnerhead (Fig. 2), be sure to correct the burner cap positionon the burner head before starting the surface burner.

11

The size and type of utensil used, the amount and typeof food being cooked will influence the settings neededto obtain the best cooking results.

Use quality cookware in good condition

Fig. 2

Set proper burner flame size

For most cooking; start on the highest setting and thenturn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use therecommendations below as a guide for determining properflame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)

For deep fat frying; use a thermometer and adjust thesurface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food willabsorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the foodwill brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Donot attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as thefood will neither brown or cook properly.

Flame size* Type of cooking

High flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil;pan broiling.

Medium flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces,gravies; steaming.

Low flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

*These settings are based for medium-weight metal oraluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when usingother types of pans.

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment.A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lightedroom. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjustor clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material thatcan melt on the range cooktop. If these items meltthey may damage the cooktop.

Fig. 1

NOTE

Cookware material typesThe most popular materials available are:Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types offood will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookwareresists staining & pitting).Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cookingresults. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retainheat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature isreached.Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristicswill vary depending on base material.Glass - Slow heat conductor.

For the best possiblecooking results when usingthe cooktop, always usequality cookware in goodcondition. Pans shouldhave flat bottoms that sitlevel on the burner grate.Before using cookware,check for flatness byrotating a ruler across thebottom of the cookware(Fig. 1).

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Do not place flammable items such as plasticwrappings, spoon holders or plastic salt and peppershakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These itemscould melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoonscould catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

IMPORTANT

Home CanningBe sure to read and observe all the following points whenhome canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA(United States Department of Agriculture) website and besure to read all the information they have available as wellas follow their recommendations for canning procedures.

Setting surface controlsThe ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumesincreases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliancemay be equipped with many different sized surfaceburners.

It is important to select cookware that is suitable for theamount and type of food being prepared. Select a burnerand flame size appropriate for the cookware size.

The standard size burner or burners may be used for mostsurface cooking needs. Use the smaller simmer burner(some models) when simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The larger quick boil (some models) burner or burnersare best when used to bring large quantities of liquid totemperature or when heating larger quantities of food.

Setting a surface burner:1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner

grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on theburner grate.

2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turncounterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).

3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to thelite position. Visually check that the burner has asteady gas flame.

4. Once the surface burner has a flame, push the surfacecontrol knob in and turn counterclockwise to thedesired flame size setting. Use the knob markings andadjust the flame as needed.

Do not place flammable items such as plasticwrappings, spoon holders or plastic salt and peppershakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These itemscould melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoonscould catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

CAUTION

• DO NOT cook with a surface control knob left in thelite position. The electronic ignitor will continue tospark. Turn control knob out of lite position andadjust the flame size.

• Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY materialthat can melt on the range cooktop. If itemsmelt the they may permanently damage theappearance of the cooktop.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when homecanning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil morequickly.

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing thewater to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat tolowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

• When using two canners at the same time, stagger thecanners on the burners. This will allow for better air flowto the burners. Do not block air to the burners.

• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over twodifferent surface cooking areas at the same time. Thismay cause uneven heating results.

NOTES• When setting a surface control knob to the lite position,

all the electronic surface ignitors will spark at the sametime. However, only the surface burner you are settingwill ignite.

• In the event of an electrical power outage, thesurface burners may be lit manually. To light asurface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head,then slowly turn the surface control knob to lite. Oncethe burner ignites, push in and turn knob out of litethen to the desired flame setting. Use caution whenlighting surface burners manually.

The convect feature uses a fan to circulate the oven'sheat uniformly around the oven. This improved heatdistribution allows for fast, even cooking and browningresults. Heated air flows around the food from all sides,sealing in juices and flavors. Convect provides betterresults when baking using multiple oven racks. Most foodscooked with a bake setting will cook faster and moreevenly when using the convect features.

• When using the convect features, any cook timereductions used may need to vary depending on theoven set temperature.

• When baking layer cakes, use the bake feature toobtain the best possible results.

• The convect fan will not start until 6 minutes aftersetting the convect bake or convect roast features.

• If the oven door is opened when a convect feature isactive, the convect fan will stop rotating until the ovendoor is closed.

Benefits of the convection features— Foods cook more evenly— Multiple rack baking— No special pans or bakeware needed

NOTES

Suggestions for convect baking• For optimum results it is recommended to preheat the

oven before baking foods such as cookies, biscuits andbreads.

• Reduce the oven temperature 25°F from the recipe’srecommended oven temperature. Follow the remainderof the recipe’s instructions using the minimumrecommended cook time.

• When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place inpositions 2 & 4 for best results (Fig. 1).

Suggestions for convect roasting• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using

convect roast.• Since convect roast cooks faster, reduce cook times

by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe(check the food at this time). Then if needed, increasecook time until the desired doneness is obtained.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will preventthe meat from browning properly.

When choosing the different convect features, use theconvect keypad to toggle between the choices.

NOTES


• When using convect convert, any cook timereductions needed may vary depending on the ovenset temperature.

• When baking layer cakes, use the bake feature toobtain the best results.

• The convection fan will not start until 6 minutes aftersetting the convect convert feature.

• The minimum bake time setting allowed using theconvect convert feature is 20 minutes.

Probe

The probe feature, when setcorrectly, will alert when theinternal food temperaturereaches the desired "target"temperature.

When active, the probe willdisplay the internal foodtemperature, eliminating theneed for any guesswork.

• To avoid damaging the probe, do not use kitchenutensils such as tongs to pull on the probe cable orhandles. Always insert and remove the probe usingthe provided handles (See Fig. 2) and always use apot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

• Do not store the probe inside the oven. Alwaysremove the probe from the oven when finished.

• Use only the original probe provided with thisappliance. Connecting any other probe or device intothe probe receptacle could result in damage to theoven control, electronics and the receptacle.

• Before starting self-clean, double check that theprobe is removed from the oven interior. The hightemperatures generated by self-clean may damage ordestroy the probe.

• To avoid damaging the probe, defrost frozen foodscompletely before inserting the probe.

WARNING

• Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.

• Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.

• Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

Preparing for self-clean

CAUTION

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to thefumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of anyrange. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

IMPORTANT

Read before starting self-clean

• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop,including food, cookware, utensils, plastic andany aluminum foil and probe (if equipped).Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperaturesgenerated during a self-clean cycle.

• Remove all oven racks and any accessories fromthe oven to avoid possible heat damage. If the ovenracks are not removed they may discolor. TheEffortless™ Oven Rack (some models) must beremoved before starting self-clean to avoid damagingthe glide ability of the rack.

• Be sure the oven vent area is clear.• Remove all items from the storage drawer (some

models) or warming drawer (some models).

• Be sure the oven light shield is in place.

• Remove any excessive spillovers. Spills on theoven bottom should be wiped-up and removedbefore starting self-clean. To clean, use hot,soapy water and a cloth. Large food spillovers cancause heavy smoke or a fire during self-clean.

• Remove any food spills from oven that have a highsugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) before starting aself-clean cycle. If they are not removed they mayleave a dull spot even after self-cleaning.

• Clean any soil from the outer oven frame, the doorliner outside the oven door gasket and the small areaat the front center of the oven bottom. Clean usingsoap and water before starting self-clean. Theseareas (See Fig. 1) heat sufficiently to burn soil on.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1).Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven doorgasket. Doing so could cause damage to the doorgasket. The woven material of the oven door gasketis essential for a good seal. Care should be taken notto rub, damage or remove the gasket.

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners or protectivecoatings of any kind inside oven. Residue from ovencleaners may damage the porcelain during the nextself-clean cycle.

Your oven provides three self-cleaning duration choices. A3-hour cleaning time for normal cleaning; a 2-hour cleanfor lighter soils and a 4-hour option for heavier burnt-onsoils (some models).
