IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,  
injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow  
basic precautions, including the following:  
Proper Installation – The range, when installed, must be  
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in  
the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical  
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Be sure the range is properly  
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.  
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF  
THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY  
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK  
IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE  
RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET  
SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE  
BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP  
BRACKET.  
This range is equipped with a three-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.  
Disconnect power before servicing.  
Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or  
drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors  
or drawers.  
WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space  
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in  
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.  
Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free from  
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable  
vapors and liquids.  
WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages  
in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials  
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the  
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.  
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire  
hazard.  
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should  
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.  
Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not  
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.  
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in  
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range –  
children climbing on the range to reach items could be  
seriously injured.  
For self-cleaning ranges –  
Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and  
other utensils. Wipe off all excessive spillage before  
initiating the cleaning cycle.

uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and  
routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General  
Cleaning” section.  
To Set:  
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE.  
All 4 surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control  
knob turned to IGNITE will produce a flame.  
Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube  
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil  
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material  
to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube  
by always using a burner cap.

Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks  
Oven Vent  
A
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks use racks 2 and 5.  
Place the cakes on the racks as shown.  
A. Oven vent  
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and  
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent  
will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning  
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or  
burn near the oven vent.  
Baking and Roasting  
ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System  
(on some models)  
necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting  
food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.  
The ACCUBAKE® system electronically regulates the oven heat  
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature  
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or  
burners cycle on and off in intervals. This feature is automatically  
activated when the oven is in use.  
Preheating  
When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once  
100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as  
the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat  
temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected  
temperature will appear on the display.  
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to  
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not  
Broiling  
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the  
temperature when broiling allows more precise control when  
cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.  
Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry  
may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.  
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered.  
Please refer to the cover for contact information. Ask for Part  
Number 4396923.  
Preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting food in unless  
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan,  
then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to  
ensure proper broiling temperature.  
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to  
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

RANGE CARE  
Self-Cleaning Cycle(on some models)  
How the Cycle Works  
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the  
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and  
popping sounds.  
WARNING  
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or  
the door will not lock and the self-cleaning cycle will not begin.  
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp  
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth  
to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.  
To stop the self-cleaning cycle at anytime, press the CANCEL  
button on the keypad. If the temperature is too high the oven door  
will remain locked and “cool” and “locked” will be displayed. The  
cooling fan may continue to run.  
Once the cleaning temperature has been reached, the electronic  
control requires a 12-hour delay before another self-clean cycle  
can be started.  
Burn Hazard  
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.  
Keep children away from oven during  
Self-Cleaning cycle.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.  
The oven light will not function during the self-cleaning cycle.  
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the  
fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the  
fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to  
another closed and well-ventilated room.  
Electronic Oven Control with Precise Clean™ Feature (on  
some models)  
The Precise Clean™ self-cleaning cycle is a “one-touch” step that  
uses very high temperatures and dissolves soil to a powdery ash.  
The Precise Clean™ feature will automatically determine the length  
of cleaning time needed based on the number of times the oven  
has been used since the last self-cleaning cycle. The maximum  
clean time is 4 hours and the minimum clean time is 2 hours.  
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air  
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see “Oven  
Vent” section.  
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket.  
Prepare Range  
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all  
cooking utensils, oven racks and aluminum foil and, on some  
models, the temperature probe from the oven.  
To Self-Clean:  
1. Press PRECISE CLEAN cycle. “PRECISE CLEAN REMOVE  
RACKS SET CLEAN TIME OR PUSH START” will scroll in the  
display.  
Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the  
1½" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being  
certain not to move or bend the gasket.  
2. Press START.  
The oven door will automatically lock. “LOCKING” and the stop  
time will appear in the display. The remaining clean time will  
also be displayed.  
Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may  
melt.  
Remove all items from the storage drawer.  
3. When the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven cools,  
“UNLOCKING” will appear in the display. Press any keypad or  
open the oven door to clear the display.  
4. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp  
cloth.
