REMOVE ALL PARTS FROM THE PLASTIC BAG

ATTACHED TO THE BACK OF THE RANGE AND

SAVE PACKAGING TAPE.

1) Before placing range In the counter, notice the location of the stability bracket which is already attached to the back ot the range. This location should work for most installations.

However, it may be more convenient to hook the stability chain to the unit when the stability bracket is attached to the upper set of holes in the back of the range (See Fig. 1). The upper set of holes are Intended for use with a backsplash kit. If a backsplash kit is being used, the

stability bracket can be relocated and put on at the same time as the backsplash kit. If the backsplash is not being used, make sure that there are no structural supports for the countertop which will Interlere with the stability bracket when located in the upper set of holes.

2) Fasten one end of the stability chain to the floor or the wall with the long screw and washer supplied (See

Fig. 2). Make certain the screw is going into the wall

plate at the base of the wall or one of the studs In the base of the wall (See Fig. 3).

Whether you attach the chain to the wall or floor, be certain that the screw Is in at least 3/4" thickness of wood other than baseboard and that there are no electrical wires or plumbing in the area In which the screw could penetrate.

Attach the stability chain in a location which will

allow the chain to be in line with the bracket side to side as much as possible when attached to the unit.

Test to see If the chain is securely fastened by tugging on the chain.

3) Temporarily attach the loose end of the chain to the rear ol the countertop with the tape from the packaging (See Fig. 4).

4) Place the range In the counter cutout leaving just enough room between the back of the range and the wall to reach the stability bracket.

5) Hook the loose end of the chain onto the bracket by slipping the nearest link of the chain into the slot in the bracket (See Fig. 1), making sure the chain is 1 pulled as tlg ht as possible and that there Is no excess slack In the chain after chain is attached to the bracket.

Excess slack in the chain could allow the range to tip over.

6) Slide the range all the way back Into the counter.

Once the range is pushed back in place, there will be a small amount of slack in the chain. This is normal.

Never heat unopened food containers.

Pressure

buildup may make container burst and cause injury.

Never leave jars or cans of fat or drippings on or near therange.

Neverletgreasebuilduponyourrange.

You can keep grease fires from starting if you clean up grease and spills after each range use.

Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.

Never touch burner grates or interior surfaces of the oven. They may be hot even though there are no flames present.

Always keep wooden utensils, plastic utensils or can ned food a safe distance away from your range.

Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet cloths or sponges could cause steam burns if used on a hot surface.

If they have been turned off. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls are turned off.

Only some kinds of glass or ceramic pans can be used for cooktop cooking. Be sure that the pan you use will

not break when heated on the cooktop burners.

Never block free airflow through the oven vent.

Do not cook on broken cooktop.

If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock.

Contact a qualified technician immediately.

_=:=:=_____ Choose pots and pans enough to cover the entire cooktop burner. This will cut down the risk of setting pot holders or clothing on fire with an uncovered burner and waste less energy.

OVEN SAFETY

Place oven racks in desired position while oven is cool.

If rack must be moved while oven Is hot, do not let potholder contact hot oven burners.

After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the range and clean It. Leftover grease in the broiler pan

can catch on fire next time you use the pan.

Always use care when opening oven door. Let hot air and steam escape before moving food.

Never use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. Improper use of foil could start a fire.

SELF-CLEAN SAFETY

If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn off and disconnect the power supply.

Have serviced by a qualified technician.

Always remove broiler pan and other utensils from the

oven before a self-clean cycle.

Never rub, move, or damage the door gasket on selfcleaning ranges. The gasket is essential for a good seal.

Never try to clean utensils, cookware or removable parts of your range during a self-clean cycle.

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.

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 L.P. fuels. Properly adjusted ranges, Indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize Incomplete combustion.

Exposoure to these substances can be minimized by further venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

The range, as shipped from the factory, can only be operated with natural gas. DO not try to operate It with

L.P. (bottled) gas. High flames and toxic fumes could cause serious injury. If you wish to use your range with

L.P. gas, you must purchase an L.P. Conversion Kit and have it Installed by a qualified Installer.

REMOVAL OF PACKAGING TAPE:

To remove adhesive left from packing tape and ensure

you do not damage the finish of your new appliance, use an application of household liquid dish washing detergent, mineral oil, or cooking oil. Apply with soft cloth and allow to soak.

Wipe with soft cloth.

DO NOT use

plastic pad or equivalent. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

This procedure is also safe for the face of microwave doors and other plastic parts.

NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from chrome trim on range parts, It CANNOT be removed if baked on.

TO START THINGS COOKING

COOKTOP COOKING

Before you use the cooktop for the first time, take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the burners and the knob used to turn on each burner.

COOKTDPBURNERS

BURNER IGNITION

COOKTOP SPARK IGNITION - When you turn the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark Igniter makes a series of electric sparks (ticking sound)whlchllghtsthe burner.

During a power failure the burners will not light automatically.

In an emergency, a cooktop burner may

be lit with a match by following the steps below.

The

oven cannot be used during a power failure.

Lighting gas burners with a match I is dangerous.

You should match light the cooktop burners only in emergency.

The sign near each cooktop control knob shows which burner Is turned on by that knob.

Low flame may be used lor melting or warming food.

It Is also best for cooking small quantities of food.

©

The lowest setting of the burner has a very small flame to provide simmering capability.

To simmer foods, set the cooktop control knob to the lowest setting that will maintain the desired simmer.

If simmering on one burner and other burners are turned on, the gas flow of the simmering burner may have to be adjusted.

If your simmering burner goes out when the other burners are on, adjust the simmering burner control knob until burner re-ignites.

After re-ignition, set cooktop

control knob to the lowest setting that will retain a flame on the burner.

NGMTC28-1

To Start Things Cooking

(cont.)

For best cooking results and energy efficient operation, you should use pans that are flat on the bottom. Match the size of the pan to the size of the flame.

The pan should not extend over the edge of the drip bowl more than 1".

#

Note." A slight odor Is normal when a new cooktop Is

used for the first time. It Is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.

HOME CANNING TIPS

In surface cooking of foods other than canning, the use of large-diameter pots (extending more than 1" beyond edge o! drip pan) Is not recommended.

However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, large-diameter pots may be used. This Is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces surrounding burner.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CAN-

NERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR

FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN WATER.

Most syrup or sauce mixtures -- and all types of frying

-- cook at temperatures much hlgherthan boiling water,

Such temperatures could eventually harm cooktop surfaces surrounding burners.

WOK COOKING

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottom wok,

They are available at your local retail store.

OBSERVE FOLLOWING

CANNING

POINTS IN

1. Bring water to boil on HIGH heat, then after boiling has begun, adjust heat to lowest setting to maintain boil (saves energy and best uses surface unit).

2.

Be sure canner fits over center of cooktop burners.

If your range does not allow canner to be centered on burner, use smaller-diameter pots for good canning results.

3,

Flat-bottomed canners give best canning results. Be sure bottom of canner Is flat or slight indentation fits snugly over burner. Canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) are not recommended.

Do not use woks which have support ring s. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring In place, can be dangerous.

Placing the ring over the burner grate may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, placing

the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work Improperly, resulting In carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards.

This could be dangerous to your health.

See the Safety Section of this manual.

Do not try to use such woks without the ring.

You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

4. When canning, use recipes from reputable sources.

Reliable recipes are available from the manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as Ball and Kerr; and the United States

Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

5. Remember, in following the recipes, that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam.

Be

10 NCCTL44-1

OVEN COOKING

GENERAL RULES

When cooking a food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide.

Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and Is apt to be more accurate than the oven It replaced.

After you have used your oven for awhile, If you feel your oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust tt yourself. See TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS in this manual.

NO PEEKING--Opening the door too often to check

food during baking will allow heat loss and may cause poor baking results.

There may be some odor when the oven Is first used.

This Is caused by the heating of new parts and

Insulation.

Do not cover an entire oven rack with foil. The foil can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking results.

Do not place any foil directly on the oven bottom.

Foil used on the oven bottom under the element may damage the oven surface, therefore, it should not be used.

PREHEATING

When recipes require preheating, have food nearby before you open the oven door.

If the oven door Is allowed to remain open for more than a brief time, the preheat temperature will be lost.

Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking baked products.

If your range is equipped with a

Preheat Indicator Light, watch for It to come on and put the food In the oven.

If not, preheat for 10 minutes before putting food In the oven.

BAKEWARE

Cookies should be baked on flat cookie sheets without sides to allow the air to circulate properly.

/ )

MOISTURE

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door or door glass. To prevent this, open the oven door for the first minute of oven heating to let the moist air escape.

OVEN VENT

When the oven Is on, heated air moves through a vent behind the cooktop.

On the cooktop, this hot air may make pot handles hot or melt plastic items left too near the vent.

The vent is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block this vent.

Doing so may cause cooking failure, fire or damage to the range.

11

Cakes, muffins, and quick breads should be baked

in shiny pans -- to reflect the heat -- because they should have a light golden crust. Yeast breads and pie crusts should be baked In glass or dull (non-

shiny) pans -- to absorb the heat -- because they should have a brown, crisp crust.

Be sure the underside of the pan is shiny, too.

Darkened undersides will absorb the heat and may cause over-browning on the bottom of your food.

Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees below recommended temperatures if exterior of pan is predarkened, darkened by age or oven proof glass.

NGOVC13

BAKING:

Always follow recipe carefully.

Measure Ingredients properly.

Use proper pen and rack placement to obtain the best cooking results.

NOTE:

The top position is only a guide, It cannot be used as a rack position.

The oven will start to heat automatically.

You will see

100 degrees showing In the upper right corner of the display. As the oven heats this temperature will change until It reaches your selected temperature, then a tone will sound.

3. When baking Is complete, press the

CLEAR/OFF pad.

OVEN GLOW BAR IGNITION - When you turn the

Oven Control on, the glow bar Igniter begins to heat.

When the igniter is hot enough, in about 1 minute, the gas flows into the burner and Is Ignited.

The Igniter glows bright orange when hot. It cycles on and off with the thermostat and will glow whenever the burner Is on.

During a power failure the oven burner cannot be lit and you should not try to do so.

Place pans on the oven racks with 1" to 1 1/2" of air space on all sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding the oven.

When baking several items, stagger pans so that no pan is directly above another.

Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the oven bottom block the free movement of air. Improper airmovement causes uneven browning and cooking.

TO SET BAKE:

1. Press the BAKE pad.

2. Press either the UP or DOWN arrow pad.

The last temperature used will show in the display.

Use the UP arrow pad to increase this temperature or the DOWN arrow pad to decrease this temperature until you reach the temperature you prefer to use.

4. When roasting Is finished, press the CLEAR/OFF pad.

Never let food, such as dairy products, fish, poultry, etc.j sit for more than 1 hour before cooking starts when you set your oven for a delay start.

Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

Be sure the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed bac.

terial growth.

Remember:

Most meats continue to cook Internally after being taken out of the oven.

BROILING

BROILING TIPS:

Please note:

Your oven door should be completely closed while broiling.

After placing food on the broiler pan and grid, put the pan on an oven rack In the proper position. The recom.

mended rack position and cooking time can be found In the chart below.

The closer the food Is to the broil burner, the faster the meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink In the center.

Moving the meat farther away from the burner lets the meat cook to the center while browning outside.

Side one should be cooked 1 - 2 minutes longer than side two.

THE SELF.CLEAN

CYCLE

(3 HOURSNORMAL CLEAN TIME)

BEFORE A CLEAN CYCLE

1. Remove the broiler pan and grid, oven racks, all utensils and any foil that may be In the oven. Do not

try to clean utensils or any other objects in the oven during a self-clean cycle. If oven racks are left in the range during a clean cycle, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

If you choose to leave the racks in the oven, you can polish the edges of the racks with steel wool and apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rack edges after the self-clean cycle.

This will make the racks easier to slide.

2. Soil on the oven lront frame, under the front edge of the cooktop, the door liner outside the door gasket and the front edge of the oven cavity (about 1" Into the oven) will not be cleaned during a clean cycle (see

Illustration below).

Clean these areas by hand before starting a clean cycle.

Use hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad. We recommend a cleanser such as 'Soft Scrub®' brand or a similar cleaning product to keep white surfaces looking clean and new. After cleaning, rinse well to help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated.

Buff these areas dry with a dry cloth,

"DO-IT-YOURSELF" OVEN TEMPERATURE

You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than the oven It replaced.

We recommend that you use your new oven s few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given In your recipes as a guide.

Your oven has been preset to maximize cooking efficiency.

If you think your new oven is too hot

(burning foods), or not hot enough (foods are undercooked) you can adjust the temperature yourself.

The appearance and texture of foods Is a better Indicator of oven accuracy than an inexpensive oven thermometer.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in the grocery store, to readjust the temperature setting of your new oven.

These thermometers can vary by 20°-40°F.

Also, you must open the oven door to read the thermometer and this changes the temperature of the oven.

To decide how much to change the temperature, set the oven temperature 25°F higher (if foods are undercooked) or 25°F lower (if foods are burning) than the temperature In your recipe, then bake.

The results of

this "test" should give you an idea of how much the temperature should be changed.

To adjust temperature follow these instructions:

1. P_sstheBAKE pad.

ADJUSTMENT

3. Press the UP arrow to Increase your oven'stemperature up to +35° HOTTER.

Press t he DOWN arrow pad to decrease your oven's temperature down to -35 °

COOLER.

4. When your selection Is complete press the CLOCK pad to return to the time of day.

Your oven's thermostat will retain this temperature adjustment until each of the four steps above are repeated. This adjustment will remain In memory even after a power failure.

You will not need to do anything else.

Bake as you normally would. This adjustment will not affect broil or clean temperature.

2.

Press the UP arrow pad to set 550° and

IMMEDIATELY press and HOLD the

BAKE pad for 10 seconds until the clock disappears and t he display shows a two digit figure.
