Important Safety Instructions

• Do Not Leave Children Alone—Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use.

They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE

BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF

THE OVEN. Both surface and oven burners may be hot even though flames are not visible. Areas near surface burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

• Wear Proper Apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot

surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer—

Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

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

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

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

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

• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.

IMPORTANT—ELECTRIC IGNITION MODELS ONLY: Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the oven. If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

• 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 when igniting top

burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat

Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that

could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Refer to the range manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the

manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this

Owner’s Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• 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.

• Do Not Clean Door Gasket—The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

Important Safety Instructions

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

(electric ignition models only)

Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an adapter plug, an extension cord, or remove grounding prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.

This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

For personal safety, the range must be properly grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is correctly polarized and properly grounded.

See the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS packaged with this range for complete installation and grounding instructions.

If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Note: Features will vary and are shown for open Coil Surface

Element models only

Setting Surface Controls

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use.

These items could melt or ignite.

Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.

Setting Surface Controls

Your range may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.

The simmer burner (if equipped) is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.

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 push in and turn knob to desired setting. Use CAUTION when lighting surface burners manually.

The Power Plus™ burners (if equipped) are best used for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan.

Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.

Operating the Surface Burners

1.

Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2.

Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position.

3.

Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.

3.

Visually check that the burner has lit.

4.

Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the guides and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position.)

PROPER

FLAME SIZE

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.

IMPROPER

FLAME SIZE

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control 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 undercooked.

Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.

*Flame Size

High Flame

Medium Flame

Low Flame

Type of Cooking

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

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

Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

*These settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using

other 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-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

7

Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located below the backguard. When the oven is on, warm air is released through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK THE OVEN VENT.

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS

COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

Removing & Replacing Oven Racks

To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Arranging Oven Racks with 6 Rack Positions

To bake on a single rack, place the rack on position 3 or 4.

To bake on 2 racks, place the racks on positions 3 and 5.

Benefits of Speed Bake™ Cooking

System:

—Foods cook up to 30% faster, saving time and energy.

—Multiple rack baking.

—No special pans or bakeware needed.

Setting Oven Controls

Speed Bake™ Cooking System (some models)

Speed Bake™ Cooking System uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two racks at the same time.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.

Meats cooked with Speed Bake™ Cooking System are more moist. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster and more evenly with Speed Bake™ Cooking System.

Self-Cleaning

During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another wellventilated room.

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range 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 surface of the oven).

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Self-Cleaning Oven

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the self-cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. 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.

• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil.

These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

• Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).

• Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the selfcleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers 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.

• 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. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

HOW TO CLEAN

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-

up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes.

Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs.

To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean as instructed above. Squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft, then push the knob(s) into place.

Clean burner grates, broiler pan and insert in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soils are not removed, follow the cooktop cleaning instructions below.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammoniasoaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners the cooktop.

Clean with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Do not use

cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Remove racks. See "Removing and Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven

Controls. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).

To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the door in water.

DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on self cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

Care & Cleaning

Cleaning the Cooktop:

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the four burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately.

To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

Cleaning the Contoured Well Areas, Burner Caps, Burner Drip Pansand Burner Heads:

The contoured well areas, burner cap, burner pan (some models) and burner head should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. Refer to the following section for instructions.

To Clean the Recessed and Contoured Areas of the 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.

To Remove and Replace the Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner

Heads - Remove in the following order: (1st) surface burner grate, (2nd) surface burner cap, (3rd) surface burner head and (4th) surface burner drip pan (if equipped).

Reverse the procedure above to replace the surface burner cap, surface burner head and surface burner drip pans (if equipped). Do not remove any parts from the cooktop until they have completely cooled and are safe to handle. Do not operate the surface burners without the surface burner cap and surface burner head properly in place.

To Clean the Surface Burner Cap, Surface Burner Head and Surface Burner

Drip Pan (if equipped) - Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean the surface burner caps, surface burner heads and surface burner drip pans (if equipped). The ports (or slots) around the burner head must be routinely cleaned. If residue still remains in these ports, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean the slots or holes. For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner—DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY

OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING.

ALWAYS keep the surface burner cap and surface burner head in place whenever a surface burner is in use.

THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

Use caution when replacing the burner cap so the electrode is not damaged. This may cause a delayed ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.
