Important Safety Instructions

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

When properly used and cared for, your new

appliance has been designed to be safe and

reliable. Read all instructions carefully before

use. These precautions will reduce the risk of

burns, electric shock, fire and injury to

persons. When using kitchen appliances,

basic safety precautions must be followed,

including those in the following pages.

WARNING:

• All ranges can tip.

• Injury to persons could result.

• Install anti-tip device packed with range.

• See installation instructions.

English 3

Gas Safety

Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is

located.

If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and

doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.

If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of

checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly tight,

you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint smell.

Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself" procedure. Some

leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON

position and this must be done by a qualified service

technician.

For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and

dry.

If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and

doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.

Fire Safety

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part

of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these

liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

If materials inside an oven should ignite, keep door closed.

Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit

breaker box.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as

described in this manual. For example, never use the

appliance for warming or heating the room. Never use the

appliance for storage.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop

and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,

highly visible and easily accessible near the oven.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with

baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate by

blowing a downward air flow onto a range, shall not be used

in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the hood

and range have been designed, tested and listed by an

independent test laboratory for use in combination with each

other.

Warning:

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in

the oven or cover an entire rack with

aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow

through the oven and may cause carbon

monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap

heat, causing a fire hazard.

Warning:

If the information in this manual is not

followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result

causing property damage, personal injury or

death.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or

other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

English 4

Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR

SURFACES OF OVEN — Heating elements may be hot

even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an

oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after

use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other

flammable materials contact heating elements or interior

surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to

cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent

openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors.

Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to

the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/

or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and

make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After

the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your

cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or

cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of

pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content

(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates

at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the alcohol

vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only small quantities

of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door carefully.

Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is

cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let

potholder contact the heating elements.

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot

surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder

touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky

cloth.

Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long

hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose

fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves,

jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is

the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to

ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the

appliance by qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any

part of an appliance, especially a door, warming drawer or

storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the unit

may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely

supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left

alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in

use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity,

whether or not the appliance is in use.

CAUTION:

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an

appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the

backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach items

could be seriously injured.

Cleaning Safety

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners

produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet

cloths or sponges can cause burns from steam.

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.

The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil

during self-cleaning can generate some by-products which

are on the list. To minimize exposure to these substances,

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL

INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE,

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

• SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting

lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn

off the burner. EXERCISE CAUTION TO

PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go

out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—You

may be burned.

• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet rags

or towels—a violent steam explosion will

result.

• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1) You know you have a CLASS ABC

extinguisher and you already know

how to operate it.

2) The fire is small and contained in the

area where it started.

3) The fire department is being called.

4) You can fight the fire with your back to

an exit.

English 5

always operate this unit according to the instructions

contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.

When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not

open. If the door does not lock, stop self clean operation and

contact service.

Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the oven.

Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds

out of the kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could

reach them. During self-clean, fumes are released that may

be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes such as overheating

margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.

Keep oven free from grease build up.

Cookware Safety

Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or

roasting bags.

Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.

Conversion to Liquified Petroleum Gas

If your gas range model is designed to allow for L.P.

conversion, the L.P. conversion kit may be obtained from

your local appliance dealer and should be installed by a

qualified service technician. Before installing the kit be sure

to follow the L.P. Installation Instructions carefully.

Warning:

Personal injury or death from electrical shock

may occur if the range is not installed by a

qualified installer or electrician.

Any additions, changes or conversions required in order

for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application

needs must be made by a qualified technician.

WARNING:

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.

Getting Started

Parts

Oven Vent

The oven vent is located under the center of 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 the oven

vent since it is important for air circulation. It is normal to

see steam escaping from the vent, and condensation may

collect in this area. This area may be warm when the oven

is in use.

Convection Fan (some models)

The convection fan operates during the convection mode.

When the oven is operating in a convection mode, the fan

turns off automatically when the door is opened. The

convection fan will take 6 minutes to begin rotating once

the convection switch has been turned on.

This rack can be used for

all cooking needs. Do not

clean in the self-clean

oven. Your oven comes

with two flat oven racks.

CAUTION:

To avoid burns, place oven racks in desired

positions before turning oven on. Always use

oven mitts when the oven is warm. If a rack

must be moved while the oven is hot, do not

let oven mitts contact hot heating elements.

Use caution when removing oven racks from

the lowest rack position to avoid contact with

the hot oven door.

To avoid possible injury or damage to the

appliance, ensure racks are installed exactly

per installation instructions and not

backwards or upside down.

REMOVE ALL OVEN RACKS and parts

before starting a self-clean cycle. If the

oven racks are left in the oven and remain in

the oven cavity for a self-clean cycle, the

glide ability of the oven rack system will be

damaged and will cause all oven racks to

loose their shiny finish and or turn blue.

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

General Tips

Pan Placement

Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of

the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at

least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking

four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two

racks so that one pan is not directly above the other. See

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 racks.

Baking Pans and Dishes

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Follow

manufacturers' recommendations.

• For tender, light, golden brown crusts, use light, shiny

metal bakeware.

• Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will

absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust.

Some manufacturers recommend reducing the

temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Follow

manufacturers' recommendations.

• Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the

length of cooking time.

• Do not set any heavy objects on the open oven door.

• Do not keep the empty bakeware in the oven during

cooking as this changes cooking performance.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part

of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing

these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Preheating the Oven

• Place oven racks in desired position before heating the

oven.

• Preheat the oven in all cooking modes.

• Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe

ingredients or food items.

• Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat

time.

• Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as

quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and

reduction of oven temperature.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to

ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first frew

uses, follow your recipe times and temperature

recommendations carefully. If you think that the oven is

cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you can

adjust the control so that the oven cooks hotter or cooler

than the temperature displayed.

To adjust oven temperature:

1. Press “BAKE”.

2. Set the temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pressing and

holding the “+”.

3. Within 2 seconds, press and hold “BAKE” until the 2

digit display appears. Release “BAKE” . The display

now indicates the amount of degrees offset between

the original factory temperature setting and the current

temperature setting. If the oven control has the original

factory calibration, the display will read "0".

4. The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F

(19°C), in 5°F steps by pressing and holding the “+” or

“-”. Adjust until the desired amount of offset appears in

the display. When lowering the oven temperature, a

minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate

that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of

degrees.

5. When you have made the desired adjustment, press

“Clear/Off” to go back to the time of day display.

For Best Results

• Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid

temperature reduction.

• Use the interior oven light to view the food through the

oven window rather than opening the door frequently.

• Use the Timer to keep track of cooking times.

High Altitude Baking

• When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking

times will vary.

For accurate information, write the Extension Service,

Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado

80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify

which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer:

general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.

English 11

Condensation

• It is normal for certain amount of moisture to evaporate

from the food during any cooking process. The amount

depends on the moisture content of the food. The

moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the

inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

Operating the Oven Light

The interior oven light will automatically turn ON when the

oven door is opened.

Press “Oven Light” to turn the interior oven light ON and

OFF whenever the oven door is closed.

The interior oven light is located at the upper left rear wall

of the oven interior and is covered with a glass shield held

by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place

whenever the oven is in use.

To change the interior oven light, see Replacing an Oven

Light in the Maintenance section.

Operation

About the Appliance

Behind the classic design is modern and perfected

technology that ensures a high degree of efficiency. For

instance, we have further improved the distribution of heat

in the oven by using newly designed elements. The

advantage of this results in shorter cooking times, perfect

results and lower energy costs.

This oven is very convenient and easy to operate, even

with the wide variety of options. The cooking mode and

temperature can be adjusted with very little effort. The

additional functions such as Cook Time can be set at the

touch of a button in just a few seconds, and the display

always presents the most important information while you

are cooking.

Operating the Oven

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,

place bakeware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 2). For

best results when using a single oven flat rack, place

bakeware on rack positions 2 or 3 (See Fig. 1).

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

If multiple racks are necessary, use a maximum of 2 racks.

For cakes and cookies use rack positions 2 and 5. Stagger

cake pans so that one is not directly above the other (see

graphic above). See "Pan Placement" under "General Tips"

for more info. You may also consider using a convection

mode.

Bake

The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food

items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or

package directions for oven temperature and baking time.

Tips

• Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.

• Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of

the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings

will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware

will lengthen the cook time for most foods.

• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at

least 1-1

1

/

2

" space between pans or dishes and oven

walls.

• Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window

to periodically check food for doneness instead of

opening the door.

The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature

from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). The factory preset

automatic bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).

To set bake

1. Press “BAKE”. "— — —" appears in the display.

2. Within 5 seconds, press the “+” or “-”. The display will

show "350°F (177°C)." By pressing and holding the “+”

or “-”, the temperature can then be adjusted in 5°F

increments (1°C if the control is set to display Celsius).

3. As soon as the “+” or “-” pad is released, the oven will

begin heating to the selected temperature. When the

displayed temperature reaches the desired baking

temperature, the preheat indicator light will turn OFF

and the control will beep 3 times.

4. To cancel bake, press “Clear/Off”.

To change the oven temperature after bake has

started:

1. Press “BAKE”. Visually check the bake temperature

and that it needs to be changed.

2. Press the “+” or “-” pad to increase or decrease the set

temperature to the desired new oven temperature.

Bake is cooking with dry, heated air.

The lower burner cycles to maintain

the oven temperature.

BAKE

English 13

Note: The OVEN indicator light on the electronic display

will turn ON and OFF when using the Bake feature and

during preheat. This is normal and indicates that the

oven is cycling to maintain the selected baking

temperature. When the preheat indicator light turns

OFF, your oven is ready.

Setting timed bake and delayed timed

bake features

The “BAKE” and “START TIME” pads operate the features

that will turn the oven ON and OFF at the times you select

in advance. The oven can be programmed to start

immediately and shut off automatically (timed bake) or to

begin baking at a later time with a delayed start time

(delayed timed bake).

To program the oven to begin baking immediately and

to shut off automatically (timed bake)

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 cooking is completed.

Broil

The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts

of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to

brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door

closed.

The benefits of broiling include:

• Fast and efficient cooking.

• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.

Tips:

• Preheat oven for approximately 5 minutes.

• Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick.

• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent

sticking.

• Turn meats once during the recommended cooktime.

When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass

ceramic dishes such as Corningware®.

Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct

exposure to radiant heat for optimum browing results.

When broiling always remember to arrange the oven racks

while oven is still cool. Position the rack as suggested in

the broil settings table.

Broil Oven Rack Position Table

avoid excess browning or drying of foods that should

be cooked to the well-done stage.

4. For optimum browning, preheat broil burner for

approximately 3-4 minutes before adding food.

5. Place food in the oven. Close the oven door.

6. Broil on one side until food is browned. Turn and broil

food on 2nd side.

7. When broiling is finished press “Clear/Off”.

Note: Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position

before turning or removing the food.

Convection (some models)

Convection feature benefits

• Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time

and energy.

• Multiple rack baking.

• No special pans or bakeware needed.

How Convection works

Convection 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 convection are

juicier. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender

and moist on the inside. Breads and pastries brown more

evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be

cooked faster and more evenly with Convection.

Broil uses intense heat from the

upper burner.

BROIL

CAUTION:

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven

door and turn the oven OFF. If the fire

continues, use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT

put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be

explosive.

Convection is similar to Bake. Heat

comes from the lower burner. The

main difference in convection baking

is that the heat is circulated

throughout the oven by the

convection fan. This improves heat

distribution.

How to use Convection

When baking:

1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to

preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,

biscuits and breads.

2. Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s

recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder

of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum

recommended cooktime.

3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in

positions 2 & 5 for best results.

Layer cakes will have better results using the “BAKE” pad.

When roasting

1. Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using

Convection.

2. Since Convection cooks food faster, reduce the

cooktime by 25% from the recommended cook time of

your recipe. Check the food at this time. If necessary,

increase cooktime until the desired doneness is

obtained.

3. Do not cover foods when roasting - this will prevent the

meat from browning properly.

4. Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.

Note:

When using Convection, cook time reductions may vary

depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

Setting Convection

The oven can be programmed to Convection at any

temperature from 300°F to 550°F (149°C to 287°C). The

factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F

(177°C).

To set Convection:

1. Press “Convection”. "— — —" appears in the display.

2. Within 5 seconds, press the “+” or “-”. The display will

show "350°F (177°C)." By pressing and holding the “+”

or “-”, the temperature can then be adjusted in 5°F

increments (1°C if the control is set to display Celsius).

3. As soon as the“+” or “-” pad is released, the oven will

begin heating to the selected temperature. When the

displayed temperature reaches the desired baking

temperature, the preheat indicator light will turn OFF

and the control will beep 3 times.

4. To cancel Convection, press “Clear/Off”.

To change the oven temperature after Convection has

started:

1. Press “Convection”. Visually check the bake

temperature and see if it needs to be changed.

2. Press the “+” or “-” pad to increase or decrease the set

temperature to the desired new oven temperature.

Operating the Gas Cooktop

Cookware material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly

heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan

bottom. The most popular materials available are:

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food

will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware

resists staining & pitting).

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.

Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking

results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast Iron - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat

very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is

reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will

vary depending on base material.

Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Using proper cookware

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.

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount

and type of food being cooked will influence the setting

needed for best cooking results.

Setting proper burner flame height

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.

For most cooking; start on the highest setting and then

turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the

recommendations below as a guide for determining proper

flame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)

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 undercooked.

Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the

food will neither brown or cook properly.

Suggested settings for flame height table.

*These settings are based for medium-weight metal or

aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using

other types of pans.

Setting surface controls

Your gas 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 smaller simmer burner (some models) is best suited

for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard size (9,000 BTU) burners may be used for

most surface cooking needs.

The larger POWER PLUS burner (some models) is best

used for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature

and when preparing larger quantities of food.

It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the

amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner

and flame size appropriate for the cookware size.

Center Oval Burner (some models)

The center oval burner is for large cooking pots or pans,

oval pans, fish poachers, and griddles. Be sure to center

the pan over the burner and select a flame size appropriate

for the pan.

CAUTION:

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.

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 and

gravies, steaming

Low flame Keep foods cooking,

poach, stewing

CAUTION:

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 (Fig. 2).

Setting a surface burner

1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate.

Make sure the cooking untensil is centered and stable

on the grate.

2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn

counterclockwise out of the OFF position (see Fig.1).

3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position.

4. Visually check that the gas burner has lit.

5. 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 control knob

markings and adjust the flame as needed..

Notes:

• DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the

LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to

spark if the control knob is left 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.

• 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.
