WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
I Have your range installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.
I Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have an ungrounded outlet
replaced with a properly grounded,
I Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
service should be referred to a qualified
technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
I Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
I Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited
if brought in contact with flame or hot oven
surfaces and may cause severe burns.
I Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the range before operating it
to prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packaging material ignite.
I Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range drawer or near a cooktop.
I Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be
used. Your range can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation of
the range section.
I Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
I Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
I
WARNING:
These adjustments must
be made by a qualified service technician
in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and all codes and requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury or property damage. The
qualified agency performing this work
assumes responsibility for the conversion.
I Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
I Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
I After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such type
of use. Never install it directly over interior
kitchen carpeting.
I Flame in the upper oven or lower oven
drawer can be smothered completely by
closing the oven door or drawer and turning
the control to off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
I Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
I Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving them
where children can reach them.
I Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door, lower oven drawer,
warming drawer or cooktop. They could
damage the range and even tip it over,
causing severe personal injury.
I Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air
openings are located at the rear of the
cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven
door, and at the bottom of the range under
the warming drawer, lower oven drawer or
kick panel.

WARNING!
SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain
the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since
heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped
and remain cool.
I Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you
do flame foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
I Always use the LITE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
I Do not use a wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner grate to support the
wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may
damage the burner grate and burner head.
Also, it may cause the burner to work
improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by
current standards, resulting in a health
hazard.
I Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
I Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
I Adjust the top burner flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
I Use only dry pot holders— moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
come near open flames when lifting
cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth in place of a pot holder.
I When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
I Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
I Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
I Keep all plastics away from the surface
I To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without extending over
adjacent burners.
burners.
I Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
I To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are
at the OFF position and all grates are cool
before attempting to remove them.
I If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and create a fire hazard.
I If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
flame setting.
I Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
I Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
I If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slowly.
I Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
I Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
I Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation
of the range.
I Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling
the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers
when food is added.

I Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
I Use only glass cookware that is
recommended for use in gas ovens.
I Place the oven shelves in the desired
position while the oven is cool.
I Always remove the broiler pan from range as
soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the
pan can catch fire if oven is used without
removing the grease from the broiler pan.
I Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The
lowest position is not designed to slide.
I When broiling, if meat is too close to the
flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to
prevent excessive flare-ups.
I Do not heat unopened food containers.

Using the gas surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
After Lighting a Gas Burner
I Make sure all burners are in place.
I Do not operate the burner for an
extended period of time without
cookware on the grate. The finish on
the grate may chip without cookware
to absorb the heat.
I Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any burner.
I Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials on
them.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are
placed in their respective positions.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all
the burners spark. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner
while another burner is on. An electric
shock may result, which could cause you
to knock over hot cookware.
Push the control knob in and turn it to
the LITE position.
You will hear a little clicking noise—
the sound of the electric spark igniting
the burner.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to the LITE position.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue
to click.
Sealed Gas Burners
Medium
Small
Your gas range cooktop has five sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience,
cleanability and flexibility to be used in
a wide range of cooking applications.
The extra large burner (right front) is the
maximum output burner. Like the other
four burners, it can be turned down
from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking
applications; however, this burner is
designed to quickly bring large amounts of
liquid to a boil. It has a special POWER BOIL™
setting designed to be used with cookware
10 inches or larger in diameter.
The smallest burner in the right rear
position is the simmer burner. This burner
can be turned down to LO for a very low
simmer setting. It provides precise cooking
performance for delicate foods such as
sauces or foods that require low heat for a
long cooking time.
Extra Large
Large
The center oval burner is the largest in
size and is for large oval pots/pans, round
pots/pans 10” or greater in diameter or
with the griddle.
The medium (left rear) and the large
(left front) burners are the primary burners
for most cooking. These general-purpose
burners can be turned down from HI to LO
to suit a wide range of cooking needs.
Extra-large burners only
How to Select Flame Size
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating of
the cookware and could be hazardous.
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames
extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat. When fast heating is desired,
the flame size on a gas burner should
match the cookware you are using.

Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware—those for oven use only and
those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,
coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts
heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check
cookware manufacturer’s directions to be
sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will
give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer’s
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
recommendations for cooking methods.
Stove Top Grills
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed
gas burners. If you use the stove top grill
on the sealed gas burner, it will cause
incomplete combustion and can result
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards.
This can be hazardous to your health.
Wok This Way
Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the
ring over the burner or grate may cause the
burner to work improperly, resulting in
carbon monoxide levels above allowable
standards. This could be dangerous to
your health.
We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller
flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits
flat on the grate. They are available at your local
retail store.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the shelf supports (A
through E), they will stop before coming
completely out, and will not tilt.
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the shelf (stop-
locks) on the support, tilt up the front and
push the shelf in.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf
support.
NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out at the
special low shelf (R) position.
The oven has 5 shelf positions.
It also has a special low shelf
position (R) for extra large items,
such as a large turkey.
Upper Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the
rear of the range. Do not block these ducts
when cooking in the oven—it is important
that the flow of hot air from the oven and
fresh air to the oven burner be
uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent
openings or nearby surfaces during oven or
broiler operation—they may become hot.
IHandles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.
IDo not leave plastic or flammable items on the
cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left too close
to the vent.
IDo not leave closed containers on the cooktop.
The pressure in closed containers may increase,
which may cause them to burst.
Plastic items on the cooktop may
melt if left too close to the vent.
Vent appearance and location vary.
IMetal items will become very hot if they are left
on the cooktop, and could cause burns.
Power Outage
If the oven is in use when a power failure
occurs, the oven burner shuts off and
cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This
is because the flow of gas is automatically
stopped and will not resume when power is
restored until the glow bar has reached
operating temperature.
CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the
electric ignition oven during an electrical power
failure.
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a
power failure. Gas will not flow unless the
glow bar is hot.
Upper Oven Light
Touch the OVEN LIGHT pad on the upper
control panel to turn the light on or off.
On some models, the OVEN LIGHT switch is
on the lower front control panel.

Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if
necessary.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when
cooking is complete.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary
when convection baking and for good
results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry
and breads.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible. Pans should not touch each other
or the walls of the oven. If you need to use
two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not
directly above the other, and leave
approximately 11⁄2″ between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the wall.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes.
Aluminum Foil
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a
spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of
foil on a lower shelf several inches below
the food.
Never cover the oven bottom with
aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you
must mold the foil tightly to the grid and
cut slits in it just like the grid.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

Using the convection oven. (on some models)
If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during convection cooking. The latch is used for
self-cleaning only.
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time
while using convection cooking.
To help you understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
traditional bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.
Grid
Convection Bake
IPreheat the oven. See the Using the Oven–
Preheating and Pan Placement section.
In a convection oven, a fan

circulates hot air over, under and
around the food. This circulating hot
air is evenly distributed throughout
the oven cavity. As a result, foods
are evenly cooked and browned—
often in less time than with regular
heat.
Broiler pan
IGood for large quantities of baked foods.
Roasts or poultry should be cooked on shelf
position (A).
IGood results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,
cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food
cake and bread.
When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use the broiler pan and
grid for best convection roasting results.
The pan is used to catch grease spills and
the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Convection Roast
IGood for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
I Place the shelf in shelf position (A).
I Place the grid on the broiler pan.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food. Using
the grid and broiler pan provided, heated
air will be circulated over and around the
food being roasted. The heated air seals in
juices quickly for a moist and tender
product while, at the same time, creating
a rich golden brown exterior.
Auto Recipe™ Conversion
You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when
baking is finished.
When using CONVECTION BAKE, the oven will
automatically convert the oven temperature from
regular baking to Convection Bake temperatures.
I Use pan size recommended in the recipe.
I Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles, main dishes or baked goods have
been developed using commercial convection
ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the
oven and use the temperature, for regular
baking, on the package.
Using the number pads, enter
the temperature recommended
in the recipe.
Touch the START pad.
The display will show the
temperature you entered from your
recipe. The oven will automatically
convert it to the convection cooking
temperature.

Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking
with several pans, leave space between
them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch
each other or the walls of the oven.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans heat
the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.
IDarkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster
than shiny pans.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for use in regular
ovens can be used in convection ovens.
Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to
temperatures of 400°F can also be used,
when oven is below 400°F.
IGlass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the best
results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead
of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.

To change the oven temperature, touch the
CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST
pad and then the number pads to set the
new temperature.
The fan will not start until the preheat temperature
is reached.
Multi-Shelf Baking
The number of shelves provided depends on your
model.
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be baked
with excellent results using multiple shelves.
Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods but the overall result
is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and
other quick breads give very good results
with multi-shelf baking.
When convection baking with only
1 shelf, follow the shelf positions
recommended in the Using the
Oven section.
When baking larger foods on 3 shelves,
place one shelf in the 2nd (A) position, one
on the 4th (C) position and the third shelf
in the 6th (E) position.
When baking cookies, place the shelves in
the 4th (C), 5th (D), and 6th (E) positions.

Adjust the upper oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
ge.com
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained
in memory after a power failure.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

Griddle
I Never use knives or cut food on the griddle.
NOTES:
Wash with hot, soapy water after each use.
Store carefully to prevent scratching.
I The griddle is to be used over the center
burner only.
Griddle Precautions:
I Do not clean the griddle in a dishwasher.
I If something has spilled under the griddle, it
should be cleaned up as soon as possible to
prevent “baked on” food soil.
I Wash with hot, soapy water after each use while
using a sponge or dishcloth.
I If oil or food residue is left on the griddle,
further cooking will harden the residue and cause
sticking over time. In this case, use a non-abrasive
cleanser such as Bon Ami® or one of the soft
scrub cleansers. Apply with a sponge, Scrunge®
or other cleaning pad labeled safe for non-
stick pans
I Do not allow grease to accumulate under the
griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the
griddle as soon as it is cool. Clean with hot soapy
water.
I Do not place your griddle in the microwave.
I Always turn off all surface burners before
removing the griddle. Use caution when handling
a hot griddle.
I Use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils or
SilverStone® kitchen tools to prevent marring
of the coating.
Burner Grates
Your range has three professional-style
double grates. These grates are position-

position; they cannot be interchanged left
to right or front to back. For convenience,
the undersides of the left and right grates
are marked “LEFT FRONT” and “RIGHT
FRONT.” Make sure the front portion of
both grates is in front. The middle grate
has a bow in front. Make sure the bowed
portion is toward the front of the range.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the
grates in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup
ammonia and let them soak several hours
or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.
Appearance may vary.
The grates may be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
Although they are durable, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the
best care you can give them. This is due
to their continual exposure to high
temperatures. You will notice this
Cleaning
sooner with lighter color grates.
Lift out when cool. Grates should be
washed regularly and, of course, after
spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water
and rinse with clean water. When replacing
the grates, be sure they are positioned
securely over the burners. Replace the
grates so that continuous arcs are formed
with the center ribs of all three grates.

Center
Right Front
NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning
oven.
Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills right
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot
if allowed to set.
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in
an oven, drawer or near the cooktop. Do not
store or use combustible materials, gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation of the
range.
When the surface has cooled, wash and
rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings,
etc., wash with soap and water once the
surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish
with a dry cloth.

Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the
oven door, and at the bottom of the range,
under the warming drawer or lower
oven drawer.
Vent appearance and location vary.
Upper Control Panel
You may also use a glass cleaner.
On models so equipped, lock out the touch
pads before cleaning.
Remove heavier soil with warm soapy water.
Do not use abrasives of any kind.
See the Control Lockout information in the
Special features of your oven control section
in this manual.
Unlock the touch pads after cleaning.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use of the oven. Use a damp
cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use
mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of
vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean
water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
The control knobs may be removed
for easier cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF
positions and pull them straight off the
stems for cleaning.
Surface burner knob
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher
or they may also be washed with soap and
water. Make sure the insides of the knobs
are dry before replacing.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control panel—they will
damage the finish.
Red line
Replace the knobs in the OFF position
Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them
up or down or by hanging a towel or other
such loads. This can damage the gas valve

to ensure proper placement.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and
water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives,
ammonia, acids or commercial oven
cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.
Lower oven drawer knob
NOTE: The lower oven drawer control knob is not
interchangeable with the surface burner knobs. Be
sure to reinstall the lower oven drawer knob to the
original location. The lower oven drawer knob may
be identified by the red line. Surface burner knobs
have a white line.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
To inquire about purchasing stainless steel
appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the
location of a dealer nearest you, please call
our toll-free number:
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface,
use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel
cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface
in the direction of the grain. Follow the
cleaner instructions for cleaning the
stainless steel surface.

Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may
need help removing and replacing the door.
I The area outside the gasket can be
cleaned with a soap-filled plastic
scouring pad.
To remove the door, open it a few inches to
the special stop position that will hold the
door open. Grasp firmly on each side and
lift the door straight up and off the hinges.
To clean the outside of the door:
I Use soap and water to thoroughly clean
the top, sides and front of the oven door.
Rinse well. You may also use a glass
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside
of the door.
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the
hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could
snap back and pinch fingers.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges
are in the special stop position. Position the
slots in the bottom of the door squarely
over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly
and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If the hinges snap back against the
oven frame, pull them back out.
Lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.
I Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When the
surface is cool, clean and rinse.
I Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
To clean the inside of the door:
I Do not allow excess water to run into
any holes or slots in the door.
The gasket is designed with a gap
at the bottom to allow for proper air
circulation.
I Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self clean cycle, you
do not need to clean this by hand. Any
soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
Do not rub or clean the door
gasket—it has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming
worn, frayed or damaged in any
way or if it has become displaced
on the door, you should have it
replaced.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel
finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the
oven bottom from excessive spillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below
the shelf you are cooking on. This is
particularly important when baking a fruit
pie or other foods with a high acid content.
Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are
highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut
and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice)
may cause pitting and damage to the
porcelain enamel surface and should be
wiped up immediately.
We don’t recommend using aluminum foil
on the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if
the holes are blocked and it can concentrate
heat at the bottom of the oven, resulting in
poor baking performance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring
pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before
self-cleaning.
Broiler Pan and Grid
Grid
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from
the oven. Remove the grid from the pan.
Carefully pour out grease from the pan into
a proper container. Wash and rinse the
broiler pan and grid in hot water with a
soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.
The broiler pan and grid may be cleaned
with a commercial oven cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid
anywhere in the range.

Oven Shelves and Drawer Racks
If your oven is equipped with nickel oven
shelves, they should be removed from the
oven before beginning the self-clean cycle.
They may also be cleaned by using an
abrasive cleanser. After cleaning, rinse the
shelves with clean water and dry with a
clean cloth. If the shelves ever become hard
to slide, wipe the shelf edges or oven shelf
supports with vegetable oil.

WARNING!
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supply fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by
carpeting or woodwork.
All ranges can tip and injury could
result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range,
attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the
wall. (See Installing the Anti-Tip Device in
this section.) To check if the device is
installed and engaged properly, carefully
tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip device
should engage and prevent the range from
tipping over.
Your range, like many other household items, is
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as
cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving
the range on this type of flooring. It is recommended
that the following simple and inexpensive instructions
be followed to protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at
the front of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with plywood to the same level
or higher than the floor covering.
If you pull the range out from the wall for
any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device
is engaged when you push the range back
against the wall.
I For your safety, never use your range for warming
or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are
not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners
should not be operated without cookware on the
grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage
to your range and will void your warranty.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will
withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the
range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)

PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS
SUPPLY
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has
been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on
other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5″ of
water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propane or butane), 10 ″ of water column.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unless local
codes require a hard-piped connection.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type
of gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or
propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas,
conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer
before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
Never use an old connector when installing a new
range. If the hard piping method is used, you must
carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved
after the connection is made.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas
supplied to the regulator must be between 5″ and 13″
of water column.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male
(external) pipe threads.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10″
and 13″ of water column.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line
in an easily accessed location outside of the range.
Make sure everyone operating the range knows
where and how to shut off the gas supply to the
range.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator,
the inlet pressure must be at least 1″ greater than the
operating (manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of
whether natural or LP gas is being used.
B. Install male 1/2″ flare union adapter to the 1/2″
NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a
backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid
damage.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect
the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of
1/2″ and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In
Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal
connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.
When installing the range from the front, remove
the 90° elbow for easier installation.
C. Install male 1/2″ or 3/4″ flare union adapter to the
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve,
taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it
from turning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
E. When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn on
the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the
system.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A
FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate
the range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off valve.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
Electrical Requirements
A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will
be Disconnected Infrequently.
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or
time delay fuse.
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit.
Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where
local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION
may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall
receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available
at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter
must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall
receptacle to provide proper polarity in the
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safety hazards associated
with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect
to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance
extension cord and that the current carrying rating of
the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than,
the circuit rating.

connection before
use
Preferred Method
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
CAUTION:
Attaching the adapter
ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover
screw does not ground the appliance unless
the cover screw is metal, and not insulated,
and the wall receptacle is grounded through
the house wiring. The customer should have
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is properly
grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not
done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to
break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO
NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground
has again been established.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD.
A word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are
devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and
automatically switch off power when a threshold
leakage level is detected. These devices must be
manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical
Code requires the use of GFCI’s in kitchen receptacles
installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of
the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI-
protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of
the GFCI breaker is possible.

CHECK IGNITION OF OVEN BURNER
CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE
BURNERS
The oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically.
To operate the oven, press the BAKE pad and then press the
number pads until 350° appears in the display. Touch the
START pad. After 30–90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite
and burn until the set temperature is reached. The oven
burner will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to
maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the display.
Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be
checked after the range and gas supply lines have been
carefully checked for leaks.
Electric Ignition Models
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push
in and turn to LITE position. You will hear a clicking
sound indicating proper operation of the spark
module. Once the air has been purged from the
supply lines, burners should light within 4 seconds.
After burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE
position. Try each burner in succession until all
burners have been checked.
To check ignition of the broil burner, touch the BROIL
HI/LO pad and then the START pad. After 30–90 seconds,
the broil burner will ignite.
Electric ignition models require electrical power to operate.
In case of a power outage, the oven burners on these models
cannot be lit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless
the glow bar is hot.
Quality of Flames
If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the burner
will shut off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored.
The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be
determined visually.
(A) Yellow flames—
Call for service
(B) Yellow tips on
outer cones—
Normal for LP gas
(C) Soft blue

To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning
properly, remove the oven bottom. Flames should have
approximately 1″ blue cones and, if range is supplied
with natural gas, should burn with no yellow tipping.
(With most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer
cones are normal.) Flames should not lift off burner
ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter
opening until flames are stabilized.
