Before Setting Surface Controls
Check burner cap placement before operating
the surface burners
Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the
burner cap from side to side to be sure it is centered and firmly
seated (Figure 5). When the burner cap lip makes contact inside
the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner
cap click. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off
the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.
To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of
harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner
caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame
size.
Check and be sure that all oval style (some models) burner caps
are correctly in place on oval burner heads.
It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and
burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations
before operating the cooktop burners.
Important notes:
•
Always keep surface burner caps in place whenever using a
surface burner.
•
When placing the burner caps, be sure that all burner caps
are seated firmly and rest level on top of burner heads.
•
For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow
spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter
the gas orifice port opening.
•
Burner heads are fixed. Do not try to remove them.
Figure 5: Checking the fit
On round style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure 3) should fit
snug into the center of burner head and rest level.
Installing Burner Grates
Surface burners may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The surface burner may still be
hot and burns may occur if the surface burner is touched before
it has cooled sufficiently.

Refer to Figure 4 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement.
Figure 6: Burner grates placement
Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop
before using the surface burners. The grates are designed to rest
inside the recess on the cooktop.
Correct burner cap
placement
To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down and align
into the cooktop recess. Grates should rest flush against each
other and against the sides of the recess (Figure 6).

Before Setting Surface Controls
Using proper cookware
Using a Wok (not supplied)
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the range cooktop.
Do not use a wok if it is equipped with a metal
ring that extends beyond the burner unit. Because this ring traps
heat, the surface unit and cooktop surface could be damaged.
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are
available in most cookware or hardware stores. Round
bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend
beyond the burner unit) may also be used. The metal ring was
designed to support the wok safely when it is filled with large
amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).
Important:
Do not place aluminum foil, or any material that can melt on the
range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the
cooktop.
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be
in direct contact with the grates.
For best cooking results, cookware should have flat bottoms
that rest level on the surface
burner grate. Before using
cookware, check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Figure 7).
Figure 8: Wok recommendations
Figure 7: Testing cookware
Setting Proper Burner Flame Size
Important:
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge
of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and
increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of
food being cooked will influence the burner flame setting
needed for best cooking results.
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A
good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted
room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or
clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat
is transferred from the surface burner to the pan bottom. The
most popular materials available are:
For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a
lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations
in Table 1 as a guide for determining proper flame size for
various types of cooking.)
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will
cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining
and pitting).
For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the surface
knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the
fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so
quickly that the center will be under cooked. Do not attempt to
deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither
brown or cook properly.
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See
Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is
durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very
well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

Canning can generate large amounts of steam.
Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to
vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that harmful
micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are sealed
completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but
steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required
time.
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United
States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read
all the information they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
*These settings are based for medium-weight metal or
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using
cookware made from different materials.
Important note:
•
Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure
cookers may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
•
Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning.
Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.
•
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
•
Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
•
Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check
with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service
or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
•
It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
•
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat
for an extended amount of time.
•
Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the
units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid
canning on the same burner unit all day.
CORRECT
INCORRECT
• Curved and warped pan bottoms.
• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does

balanced.
• Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared.
• Made of material that

Setting Surface Controls
Setting Surface Burners
Important note:
Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized
surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger
volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to
select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food
being prepared.
The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best suited for
simmering delicate sauces, etc.
The standard size burners may be used for most surface cooking
needs. Some models are equipped with a center burner.
The larger POWER burners (on some models) are recommended
for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when
preparing larger quantities of food.
•
Do not cook with the surface control knob left in the LITE
position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the
control knob setting remains in the LITE position.
•
When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position,
all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time.
However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
•
Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different
surface cooking areas at the same time unless the utensil or
cookware was designed for that purpose, such as a griddle.
This can cause uneven heating results.
Important: In the event of an electrical power outage, the
surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner,
hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface
control knob to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to desired
setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.
To set surface burners:
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the range cooktop.
Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material
that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may
permanently damage the cooktop surface.
When operating the oven, it is possible for
residual heat from the oven to build-up and over time to eventually transfer to the surface control knobs located directly above
the oven door.
1.
Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be
sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate.
2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 11).
Figure 11: Surface control knob
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE
position. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in and
turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the
control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.

the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.
The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the oven
is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary
for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block oven vent. Doing so may cause cooking failures,
fire, or damage to the appliance. Steam or moisture may
appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
To Replace: Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides
of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and
slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level
before using.
Important: Be sure to remove all oven racks and accessories
before starting a self clean cycle. If the oven racks are not
removed, they may discolor.

Figure 13: Oven rack type
Oven Rack Description
Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used for
most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) between the
bakeware and the right and left side of the oven cavity’s walls
for proper air circulation and be sure pans and bakeware do
not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven
cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the bakeware in
the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
Figure 12: Oven vent location
Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Oven
Racks
Protective Liners — Do not line the oven walls,
racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil.
Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results,
and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During
self clean temperatures, the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or fire.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.
To Arrange: Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is
cool (prior to operating the oven).

•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, or breads.
•
When using a single rack for baking, position the rack so
that the food is in the center of the oven. If using a single
rack in the upper oven, use position 2.
•
For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks,
place bakeware on oven rack positions 1 and 3 (Figure 19)
and place pans as shown in Figure 20.
•
Use positions 1 and 3 when baking cookies on multiple pans
in the lower oven.
•
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between the right
and left side of the bakeware and the oven cavity’s wall for
proper air circulation (Figure 18).
•
Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of foods. To
prevent this it may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent over browning of some foods.
Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are
recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
•
Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.
•
For cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection bake
function for best results when using multiple racks.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh 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.) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA
is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For beef medium 160°F, well done 170°F.

Oven Controls
Setting Convection Bake
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 36). This
improved heat distribution allows for fast, even baking and
browning results. It also gives better baking results when using
two oven racks at the same time. Heated air flows around the
food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and
pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard pan
will bake faster and more evenly with the convection feature.
Convection Bake is available only in the lower oven, and it may
be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (148°C) to
550°F (288°C).
•
When using any single oven rack, position the rack in the
oven so that the food is in the center of the oven.
•
When baking cakes using two oven racks, place bakeware
in positions 1 and 3 (Figure 37) and place pans as shown in
Figure 38.
•
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware
and the right and left side of the oven cavity for proper air
circulation.
•
Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides
or very low sides to allow air to circulate around the food.
•
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It may
be necessary to reduce oven temperature or bake time to
prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is
recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended
for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
•
Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake
time.
•
Reduce oven temperature 25°F (14°C) from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the
recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended bake
time.
•
For cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection bake
function for best results when using multiple racks.
•
The convection fan on a gas range will not begin rotating
until Convection Bake has been into the cycle for six
minutes.
Benefits of convection bake:
•
Superior multiple oven rack performance
•
Foods bake more evenly
•
No special pans or bakeware required
•
Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.
To set Convection Bake with the default oven set temperature
of 350°F (177°C):
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven
racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Do not bake food directly on the oven bottom.
To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always bake
food in the oven using bakeware positioned on an oven rack.

Setting the Sabbath feature (for use on the Jewish
Sabbath and Holidays)
To program oven to Bake with default oven temperature of
350°F and activate the Sabbath feature:
Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result
in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as
milk, eggs, fish, meat, or poultry should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven
for more than 1 hour before cooking begins and should be
removed promptly when finished cooking.
For further assistance, guidelines for proper
usage, and a complete list of models with the
Sabbath feature, please visit the web at
www.star-k.org.
This appliance provides special settings for
use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath
mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the
oven control. Bake heating is the only cooking feature available
while in the Sabbath mode. Oven controls are locked during
Sabbath mode.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven
racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
1.
You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s) needed
for the oven, as well as the Cook Time and Delay Start options
(if needed). Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath
mode will be visible in the displays. The Cook Time option, if set
prior to the Sabbath mode, will give one audible alert at the
end of Cook Time.
Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day.
2. Arrange oven racks, place bakeware in oven, and close
oven door.
3. Press Bake for the desired oven (Figure 44).
The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 Hour
Energy Saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the
cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking features
are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no
audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the cancellation.
Figure 44: Bake appearing in the display
4. Press START. The actual oven temperature will appear in the
display (Figure 45).

until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the oven lights are
turned off. The oven door will not activate the interior oven
lights when the oven door is opened or closed.
Figure 45: Actual oven temperature appearing in the display
It is recommended that any oven temperature modification
made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with two
presses of the START key. This will ensure the oven remains on
even if an attempt is made to set the oven temperature outside
of its temperature range. If the oven temperature is set outside
of the temperature range, the oven will default to the nearest
available temperature. Try to set the desired oven temperature
again.
5. If Cook Time or Delay Start are not needed, skip this step
and continue to Step 7. If a Cook Time or Delay Start are
desired enter the times at this point. Refer to the “Setting
Cook Time” on page 19 and “Setting Delay Start” on
page 20 for detailed instructions. Remember the oven will
shut down after using Cook Time or Delay Start and
therefore may only be used once during the Sabbath/
Jewish Holidays. The maximum Delay Start time is 11 hours
and 59 minutes.

think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe
times, you may adjust the control so the oven cooks hotter or
cooler than the oven temperature displayed.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1.
Press and hold Bake for the desired oven for about 6
seconds. The factory offset temperature of 0 (zero) should
appear in the display along with UPPER or LOWER, indicating in which cavity the oven temperature will be
adjusted.
2. To increase the temperature use the numeric keypad to
enter the desired change. For example purposes, enter 30°F,
which is 3 0. The temperature may be increased as much as
35°F (19°C).
3. To decrease the temperature, use the numeric keypad to
enter the desired change. For example purposes, enter 30°F, which is 3 0. Press Self Clean. The temperature may
be decreased as much as -35°F (-19°C)
4. Press START to accept change. Press STOP to reject the
change if necessary.
Important note:
•
Each oven cavity can be set with its own unique UPO
setting.

Self Clean
•
Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 47). The woven
material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good
seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove
the gasket. Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven
door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door
gasket.
•
Remove any excessive build up caused by spills. Any spill on
the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before
starting a self clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water
and a cloth. Large spill residue can cause heavy smoke or
fire when subjected to high temperatures. Do not allow food
spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
A self cleaning oven cleans with very high temperatures well
above normal cooking temperatures. The high temperature eliminates soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.
Important: You cannot program both ovens for Self Clean at the
same time.
Before starting Self Clean:
Do not leave small children unattended near
the appliance. During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the
oven can become very hot to touch and can cause burns.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or
any other part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will
destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and
cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will
melt to the interior of the oven.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self cleaning cycle of any
oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
Do not force the door open while self clean is
active. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use
caution when opening the oven door after self cleaning. The
oven may still be very hot and can cause burns. To avoid
possible burns stand to the side of the oven when opening the
oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
Important note:
•
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a Self
Clean cycle, remember to allow the oven to cool down and
the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about an hour.
So, a three hour Self Clean cycle will actually take about
four hours to complete.
To start an immediate Self-Cleaning cycle or to set a Delay
Start time of 4:30 and shut off automatically (example provided
is a default 3 hour Self Clean Cycle):
•
Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
1.
•
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the
oven manually.
•
Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from
oven cavity to avoid damage to the racks. If the oven racks
are not removed, they may discolor.
•
Remove all items from the oven and cooktop, including
bakeware, utensils and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil
will not withstand high temperatures from a self clean cycle
and will melt.
•
Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or
around any part of the oven interior.
•
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside
the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center
of the oven bottom (Figure 47). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to
starting Self Clean.
Figure 47: Oven door area to clean and not clean (gasket)

Use caution when opening the oven door after
self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause
burns. To avoid possible burns, stand to the side of the oven
when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
The oven interior may appear to have cooled after it has been
turned off. The oven may still be hot, and burns may occur if it is
touched before it has cooled.
Important: If the optional delay Self-Cleaning cycle is desired,
continue and finish these steps. But if Self Clean is started immediately, skip these remaining steps and continue to the When
Self Clean is Finished-portion of these instructions.
Do not force the oven door open when selfclean is active. This can damage the automatic door-locking
system. Use caution when opening the door after self-clean
cycle is complete; the oven may still be very hot.

Care & Cleaning
General Care & Cleaning
Cleaning the Cooktop and Surface Burners
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the
gas burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are
cleaned up immediately. Correct and consistent cleaning is
essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food
spills and grease spatters are not removed, they may burn onto
the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.
To avoid possible burns, do not attempt any of
the cooktop cleaning instructions provided before turning OFF
all of the surface burners and allow them to completely cool.
Any additions, changes or conversions required
in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application
needs must be made by an authorized qualified agency.
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.
The fumes can be hazardous to your health and can chemically
damage the cooking surface.
To avoid possible burns, do not attempt to
operate the surface burners without the burner caps.
Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and
wipe dry to avoid scratches.
Before manually cleaning any part of the
range, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool.
The range may be hot and can cause burns.
Keeping the surface burner head ports and slots clean will
prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Important note:
Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the

cooktop.
Aluminum foil and utensils
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven 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 trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Cleaning recessed and contoured areas of cooktop
If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up
spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and
wipe dry.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in
risk of electric shock, or fire.
