IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking 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 small

amounts of Carbon Monoxide.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off

very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first

several cleaning cycles.

California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of

cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a potential cause of

reproductive toxicity.

Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:

1. Providing good ventilation when cooking with

gas

2. Providing good ventilation during and

immediately after self cleaning the oven.

3. Operating the unit according to the instructions

in this manual.

WARNING

When used in accordance with its intended purposes

and properly cared for, your new Siemens range has

been designed to be a safe, reliable appliance. Read

all instructions carefully before using this range.

These precautions will reduce the risk of burns,

electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. Do not

operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is

broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution may

penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of

electric shock. Contact a qualified technician

immediately should your glass control panel become

broken. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety

precautions must be followed, including those in the

following pages.

Important Safety Instructions

Range Safety

• Have the installer show you the locations of the circuit

breaker or fuse and the gas shut off valve. Mark them

for easy reference.

• This appliance must be properly installed and grounded

by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly

grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for details.

• Service should only be performed by an authorized

service technician who has undergone training for this

specific type of unit. This is a high-tech appliance.

Unauthorized service technicians may not be familiar with

the sophisticated workings of this appliance and may,

therefore, cause damage to the unit or create a hazard.

Contact the nearest authorized service center for

examination, repair or adjustment.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless

specifically recommended by an authorized service

technician.

• Do not operate this appliance if it is not working

properly or if it has been damaged until an authorized

servicer has examined it.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described

in this manual. If you have any questions, contact the

manufacturer.

• Do not use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or

nonfood products in this appliance. This type of range is

specifically designed to heat or cook food. It is not designed for

industrial or laboratory use. The use of corrosive chemicals in

heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could

result in injury.

• 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. Avoid reaching or

leaning over the appliance. Be aware that certain clothing

and hair sprays may contain flammable chemicals that could

be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or

heating elements and may cause severe burns.

• In the event that personal clothing or hair catches

fire, DROP AND ROLL IMMEDIATELY to extinguish flames.

• Do not touch the cooking area(s) or the immediate

surrounding area(s) while using the range or while it is

cooling. Areas adjacent to the burners, oven and warming

drawer may become hot enough to cause burns and may be

hot even though they are off. Never let clothing, potholders,

or other flammable materials come in contact with a cooking

area until it has cooled.

• Do not operate range during a power failure. If the power

fails, always turn off the range. If the range is not turned off

and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate

again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven

function.

• Always turn hood ON when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes

Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Pepercorn Beef Flambe).

• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on the blower or filter. Grease left

on filters can remelt and move into the vent.

WARNING: If the information in

this manual is not followed exactly, a

fire or explosion may result causing

property damage, personal injury or

death.

• Whenever possible, do not operate the blower during a

cooktop fire. However, DO NOT REACH THROUGH FIRE

TO TURN OFF BLOWER.

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

produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface.

• Exercise caution when opening the oven or warming

drawer. 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 either in

the oven or the warming drawer. Build-up of pressure may

cause the container to burst and cause injury.

• 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 hot 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.

• Do not use water or a wet rag or towel on a grease fire.

Smother fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-

type (ABC) extinguisher.

• Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air

vents do not blow flammable material toward the

flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the

edges of the pan.

Getting StartedUse - The CooktopCare and CleaningSelf Help

Please read all instructions before using this appliance.

Important Safety Instructions

• If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep

oven door closed.Turn off oven and disconnect the

circuit at the circuit breaker box.

• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when

necessary. Heat oil slowly on no more than a low-

medium setting, to avoid bubbling and splatter. Hot oil

is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

• Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat

fryer. Wait until it is cool.

• Never leave the cooktop unattended. Boilovers

can cause smoke and possibly damage the cooktop.

More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered,

unburned gas will escape into the room. See Warning,

page 1.

• After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and

allow cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and

burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper

operation.

• Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement

of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

Self-Cleaning Safety

• Confirm that the door locks and will not open by

pulling gently on it once the door lock icon appears. If

the door does not lock, touch OFF and do not run Self-

Clean. Phone 866-44SIEMENS (447-4363) for service.

Note: During a normal Self-Clean cycle, the door

does not lock at the beginning of the cycle; However,

it does lock prior to reaching the high self-clean

temperatures. In a Delayed Self-Clean cycle, the door

locks immediately. (Continued next page).

• Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,

highly visible and easily accessible near the oven.

• Keep the oven free from grease build up.

• Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

• Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using

cooking or roasting bags.

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

any part of the oven, nor to hang on the oven door,

warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage

the range, and the unit may tip over, potentially

causing severe injury.

• Use only utensils that are approriate for cooktop

use on the cooktop (See “Cookware Selection Guide”,

pg. 27 for further details). Other types of utensils may

break with sudden temperature changes. Use utensils

according to the manufacturer’s directions.

• Use only low or medium heat settings when

possible, particularly with pans larger than the grate

or that span more than one burner. Prolonged use of

high heat settings with these types of utensils can

cause poor combustion. Poor combustion results in

harmful by-products.

• Match pan size to size of burner. Undersized pans

expose element to direct contact which could result in

burn or injury. Do not allow flames to spread around or

over the rim of a pan that contains grease. A grease

fire could be ignited. Proper pan size also improves

efficiency.

• Clean cooktop with caution. Be sure all cooktop

controls are turned off and thecooktop is cool before

beginning. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes

when applied to a hot surface. Sprayed chemicals

could ignite or cause hot metal parts to corrode.

• Keep the ignitor ports clean for proper lighting

performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean

these when there is a boilover or when the burner

does not light even though the electronic ignitors click.

• This range is intended for residential use only.

It is not approved for outdoor use.

• Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced

air vents do not blow flammable material toward

the burners.

• Always position handles of utensils inward so

they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners

or the edge of the cooktop.

• 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.

See Warning, page. 1.

• Open a window or door in the event that a burner

goes out and gas escapes. Do not attempt to use the

cooktop until the gas has had time to dissipate. Wait

at least five minutes before using the range.

• Always place pan on burner before turning it on. Be

sure you know which knob controls which burner.

When cooking is complete, turn the burner off before

removing the pan.

WARNING

• ALL RANGES CAN TIP.

• INJURY TO PERSONS COULD

RESULT.

• INSTALL ANTI-TIP DEVICE

PACKAGED WITH RANGE.

SEE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 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

sit or stand on any part of the appliance or to play in its

vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in

the range, in cabinets above the range or on the

backsplash of the range. Children climbing on the

range to reach items could be seriously injured.

Before Using the Cooktop

• Remove all packing materials and labels from the

cooktop surface.

• While cool, wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.

• Optimum cooking results depend on the proper

cookware being selected and used.

• Read and understand all safety precautions and Use

and Care Manual information prior to operating.

Cooktop Features

A range of heat settings are listed because the actual setting

depends on:

1) size, type and quality of pan (See “Cookware Selection Guide”,

page 29).

2) type, quantity and temperature of the food.

3) burner used.

4) the cook’s preference.

Sealed Gas Burners

Your new cooktop has sealed gas burners and removable

burner caps. There are no burner parts under the

cooktop to clean, disassemble or adjust. Your cooktop has

four (4) different burner cap sizes. Match the pan size to

the burner size.

Burner Caps

The burner cap is porcelainized steel. Make sure the

burner cap is completely seated into the burner base

before attempting to light the burner. If the burner cap is

not placed correctly, the burner may not light or the

flame may not burn completely or correctly.

Burner Grates

Your cooktop has two grates: one for the left side of the

cooktop and one for the right side of the cooktop. Position

them as shown in the figure below. Do not operate the

burner without a pan on the grate.

To prevent possible burns or possible damage to the

pan or range, the flame should not extend beyond

the edge of the pan.

CAUTION:

Right

Rear

To prevent flare-ups do not use the

cooktop without all burner caps and all

burner grates properly positioned.

WARNING:

Getting StartedUse - The CooktopCare and CleaningSelf Help

All igniters spark when any single burner is turned

ON. Do not touch any of the burners when the

cooktop is in use.

Burner Control Knobs

Cooktop Operation

Power Failure

In the event of a power failure, the burners can be

ignited manually. Hold a match at the port and turn the

control knob to the HI position. Wait until the flame is

burning all the way around the burner before adjusting

the flame to the desired height.

Typical Flame Characteristics

Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange

flame during initial use. This should disappear with use.

Check burner cap to make sure port holes are not

obstructed. If the ports are clogged, see “Cleaning the

Cooktop”, page 23. For natural gas use, the burner flame

should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips,

excessive noise or fluttering. It should burn completely

around the burner cap. For Propane (LP) use, some

yellow tips are normal.

Note: An audible “pop” may be heard when the burner is

turned off manually. The “popping” may be louder with LP

gas than with natural gas. This is normal.

Refer to the Cooking Guide (previous page) for flame

settings.

Control Knobs - Front View

The burner controls have an infinite number of heat

settings with no fixed positions. A plastic bezel is located

under each control knob.

To LIGHT: Select the appropriate control knob, push in

and turn counterclockwise to the flame symbol. The

ignitor will click.

To SET FLAME SIZE: After lighting, turn counterclockwise

to the desired flame size.

Turn OFF by turning the control knob clockwise to OFF.

To remove knob, spring and bezel: Place knob in the

OFF position. Pull straight out and off. Spring and bezel

will be loose and can be pulled straight off after the knob

is removed.

To replace knob, spring and bezel: Place spring and

knob on top of bezel being careful to line up center holes.

Push down on knob so that spring is tense. With knob in

off position, place center hole around shaft on range and

push bezel, spring and knob in toward range. Release

knob.

Electronic Ignition

The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners.

There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own igniter.

For best results, center the pan over the burner before

ignition.

The ignitor should be clean and dry for proper operation.

• Avoid getting water or food on the igniter.

• If the igniter is wet or soiled, it may spark without

igniting the burner.

Note: If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn

the burner off. Check to see that the cap is positioned

correctly on the burner base and the igniter is clean and

dry. If a burner still fails to ignite, see Self “Help -

Cooktop”, page 30.

Burner Performance

For best cooking results, observe the following burner

characteristics:

versaTemp™ Burner (Right Front): The versaTemp™

burner is the most verstile of the burners. The cap retains

heat longer than normal burner caps and, at low

settings, prohibits the flame from touching the

cookware. This results in a gentle, more predictable heat.

It can be set low enough to simmer sauces without

scorching. However, the flame can also be set high

enough to stir-fry and boil quickly. The large size of the

burner cap allows the burner to accomodate large pots,

so it is also well suited for cooking large quantities of food.

Right Rear: The right rear burner is the smallest burner.

It is well suited for delicate cooking such as melting

chocolate and butter.

Oven Racks

Your oven has two flat racks and one full extension rack.

They are designed with a stop so they will stop before

coming completely out of the oven and not tilt.

Oven Modes and Features

The two sections of the rack are designed to come

apart for easier cleaning. To do so, place rack on flat

surface in the closed position right side up. Rotate one

side of top rack towards you until it is past the stop (ball).

Pull the rack up and out, rotated side first (see Figure 2).

To reassemble rack, hold top rack diagonally across

bottom rack. Insert one side of top rack to closed position.

Rotate the other side toward the back of the rack until it

passes the stop (ball). Push top rack the rest of the way in

(see Figure 3).

If the top rack will not extend fully, it is not installed

correctly. Reinstall it so that the pan stop is in the back of

the oven.

Removing from oven: Grasp rack firmly on both sides

and pull rack toward you. When the stop is reached, tilt

rack up and pull the rest of the way out.

Replacing in oven: Grasp rack firmly on both sides. Tilt

rack up to allow stop into rack holder. Bring rack to a

horizontal position and push the rest of the way in. Rack

should be straight and flat, not crooked.

Note: The full extension rack must be in the closed

position when removing and replacing. Grasp the entire

rack (both sections).

The Full Extension Rack allows for easier access to

cooking foods. The bottom section extends as far as the

standard flat rack. However, the top section extends

beyond the bottom section bringing the food closer to the

user. To order a full extension rack, contact Siemens

Service: 866-44SIEMENS (447-4363) for a dealer near

you.

Use: First, grasp the bottom section and pull straight out.

Once the stop is reached, grasp the top section and pull

straight out until the second stop is reached.

Cleaning: Clean rack with hot sudsy water. Dry

thoroughly. For stubborn dirt, use a soap filled steel wool

pad. DO NOT clean the rack in the self-cleaning oven.

Rack Position

(see graphic at right for further details)

RACK 6 (highest position) – Use for melting cheese and

broiling thin foods.

RACK 5 – Use for broiling most meats and toasting bread.

RACK 4 – Use for broiling thicker meats.

RACK 3 – Use for most baked goods when baking on one

rack, such as on a cookie sheet or baking pan. Use for

cakes, frozen convenience foods, biscuits, brownies, and

muffins.

RACK 2 – Use for pies, casseroles, breads, bundt or

pound cakes, small roasts or poultry.

RACK 1 (lowest position) – Use for angel food cake, large

roasts, turkey.

Multiple Rack Cooking:

When using multiple racks, follow the placement

recomendations below.

Two rack: For cakes, use rack positions 2 and 5.

Three rack: (for convection bake): Use positions 1, 3 and

6.

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. To allow for best baking results, place cakes on

back of upper rack and front of lower rack (see graphic at

right).

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking

cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. When using the probe

preheating is not recommended. Setting a higher

temperature does not shorten preheat time. Place oven

racks in proper position before preheating. A beep will

confirm that the oven is preheated and the selected

oven temperature will be displayed.

Baking Pans

Glass baking dishes absorb heat, therefore, reduce oven

temperature 25° F when baking in glass.

Shiny, smooth metal reflects heat resulting in lighter,

more delicate browning.

Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in

browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers

recommended reducing temperature 25° F when using

this type of pan. Follow manufacturer recommendations.

Use dark pan for pies.

Insulated baking pans may increase the length of the

recommended baking time.

BAKE, PROOF and WARM

Oven Modes - Bake and Convection Bake

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

items, from pastries to casseroles. It can also be used to

roast meats.

In the Warming mode, the oven uses the upper and

lower element to maintain a low temperature to keep

food at serving temperature.

• Use the Warming setting on the oven to keep foods

hot until ready to serve.

• The Warming mode temperatures are 140° - 220° F.

The default temperature is 170° F.

• Foods that need to be kept moist should be covered

with a lid or aluminum foil.

In the Proofing mode, the oven will use the upper and

lower element to maintain a low temperature to proof

bread. Proofing is the rising of a yeast dough.

• The Proofing mode temeratures are 85° to 110° F.

The default temperature is 100° F.

• Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that

accomodates the size of the container.

• Keep the door closed and use the oven light to

check the rising of the dough.

CONVECTION BAKE

Convection Baking is similar to Baking. In this case, heat

comes from the lower heating element and a third

element behind the backwall. The main difference in

convection baking is that the heat is circulated

throughout the oven by the convection fan:

The Convection Bake mode is well-suited for baking large

quantities of food on multiple racks. It can be used to

prepare cookies, pies, cupcakes, pastries, breads, snack

foods and appetizers among other items.

The benefits of Convection Baking include:

• Slight decrease in cooking time

• Three rack cooking (more even browning)

• Higher Volume (yeast items rise higher)

• Cook more items at once

For Best Results:

• Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F. Refer to the

Convection Baking chart for examples.

• Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as

cookie sheets without sides.

• Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack.

Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper

and lower element cycle to maintain the oven

temperature:

Convection Bake Chart

*The convection bake temperature is 25°F less than

recommended on packages or recipes. The temperature in this

chart has been reduced 25°F.

**This chart is a guide. Actual times depend on the mixes or

recipes baked. Follow recipe or package directions and reduce

temperature appropriately.

Oven Modes - Broil and Convection Broil

CONVECTION BROILBROIL

Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the upper

element:

Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines the intense

heat from the upper element with heat circulated by the

convection fan:

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

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

brown breads and casseroles.

The benefits of Broiling include:

• Fast and efficient cooking

• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids

• Browning as the food cooks

For Best Results:

• Preheat oven 3-4 minutes

• Steaks and Chops should be at least 3/4” thick

• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent

sticking

• Use the broil pan and grid included with your range

• Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed

to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface

to prevent smoking and spattering

• Turn meats once halfway through the recommended

cooking time (see Broil Chart for examples).

• When top browning casseroles, use only metal or

glass ceramic dishes such as Corningware®.

• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®);it cannot

tolerate the high temperature.

The Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking

thicker, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection

Broil is typically not recommended for browning breads,

casseroles and other foods.

The benefits of Convection Broiling, in addition to the

benefits of standard broiling, include:

• Faster cooking than standard Broiling

For Best Results:

• Preheat oven 3-4 minutes

• Meats should be at least 1 1/2” thick

• Turn meats once halfway through the cooking time

(See Convection Broil Chart for examples)

• Use the broil pan and grid included with your range

• Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to

drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to

prevent smoking and spattering

• Salt after cooking

ALWAYS BROIL WITH THE DOOR CLOSED

ALWAYS CONVECTION BROIL WITH THE DOOR CLOSED

Broiling and Convection broiling times are approximate and

may vary slightly. Times are based on cooking with a

preheated broil element.

Note: The only heat setting for the Convection Broil setting is

High.

CONVECTION ROAST

Convection Roast uses heat from the top and bottom

elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan:

The Convection Roast mode is well suited to preparing

tender cuts of meat and poultry.

The benefits of Convection Roasting, include:

• As much as 25% faster cooking than standard

Roasting/Baking

• Rich, golden browning

For Best Results:

• Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.

• Check doneness early as roasting time may decrease

by as much as 25%. Refer to Convection Roast Chart

for examples.

• Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.

• Use the broil pan and grid provided with the range

for roasting. A low-sided, uncovered pan can also be

used.

• Use the probe or a meat thermometer to determine

the internal temperature of the meat.

• If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet

done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the

browned area to prevent overbrowning.

• Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after

removing from the oven

DEHYDRATE

Dehydrate dries with heat from a third element behind

the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated

throughout the oven by the convection fan.

Dehydrating is used to dry and/or preserve foods such as

fruits, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an

optimum low temperature (100° F - 160° F) while

circulating the heated air to slowly remove moisture.

For Best Results:

• Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140° F. Dry herbs at

100° F. (Refer to the Dehydrate Chart for examples).

• Drying times vary depending on the moisture and

sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the

amount being dried and the humidity in the air.

Check food at the minimum drying time.

• Multiple racks can be used simultaneously. Contact

your Siemens dealer for drying racks.

• Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.

• Consult a food preservation book, county

Cooperative Extension Office or library for additional

information.

The door must be open during the Dehydrate mode.

Prop the door open at least 1" by placing an object (i.e.;

wooden spoon) in the upper corner between the door

and the side panel. Be careful that the object does not

touch the oven gasket.
