IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
• 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.
• The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with
an open window or using a ventilation fan
or hood.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using your appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
WARNING:
All ranges can tip and injury
could result. To prevent
• Have the installer show you the location of
the range gas shut-off valve and how to turn
it off if necessary.
accidental tipping of the range,
attach it to the wall by installing
the Anti-Tip device supplied.
• Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packing
material ignite.
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.
• 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 use.
Never install it directly over interior kitchen
carpeting.
If you pull the range out from the wall for
any reason, make sure the device is properly
engaged when you push the range back
against the wall.
• Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations and areas with
poor air circulation.
If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range
tipping over and causing injury if you or a
child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip information in
the installation instructions.
Failure to take this precaution could result in
tipping of the range and injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface
unit 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.
• If you smell gas, the installer has not done a
proper job of checking for leaks. You can have
a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if
the connections are not completely tight.
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 for your protection it must be done by
a qualified service technician. Never use an
open flame to locate a leak.
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.
• If by some chance a burner goes out and
gas escapes, open a window or a door to
let the room air out. Do not attempt to use
the appliance until the gas has had time
to dissipate. Follow the instructions in
“What to do if You Smell Gas” on page 2.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of
the oven or cooktop. Using a foil liner could
result in a fire hazard or the obstruction of
the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat
will be trapped underneath it. This trapped
heat can upset the cooking performance and
can damage the finish of the oven or the
cooktop.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Clean drip trays and liners after every use.
SURFACE COOKING
• Do not heat unopened food containers;
a build-up of pressure may cause the
container to burst.
• 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.
• Set the burner control so that the flame
heats only the bottom of the pan and does
not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
Excessive flame is hazardous. The high BTU
burners can easily melt cookware handles.
• 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.
• Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry pot
holder, to prevent movement of the utensil
when stirring or turning food.
• 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 top and bottom
of the oven door, in the front portion of the
drip tray and at the bottom of the backguard.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• Always use the LITE position when igniting
the surface burners and make sure the
burners have ignited.
• Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire. If the burner flames are smothered
by a severe boilover which affects the ignitor,
unburned gas will escape into the room.

AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ
• N’utilisez jamais d’eau sur les feux de graisse.
Ne soulevez jamais une casserole en flammes.
Mettez tous les boutons de réglage en position
OFF (arrêt). Arrêtez les flammes d’une casserole
placée sur un brûleur de surface en la recouvrant
complètement d’un couvercle bien ajusté, d’une
tôle à biscuits ou d’un plateau plat. Utilisez un
extincteur d’incendie polyvalent à mousse ou à
poudre.
• Si vous sentez le gaz, c’est que l’installateur n’a
pas bien vérifié les fuites. Il est possible que vous
ayez une petite fuite et par conséquent une
faible odeur de gaz si les raccords ne sont pas
complètement étanches.
Vous NE pouvez PAS localiser vous-même une
fuite de gaz. On ne peut trouver certaines fuites
qu’avec les boutons de contrôle des brûleurs en
position ON (marche). Pour votre protection,
c’est un technicien qualifié qui doit localiser toute
fuite. N’essayez jamais de localiser une fuite à
l’aide d’une flamme.
Vous pouvez éteindre de la graisse en flamme sortie
d’une casserole en la couvrant de bicarbonate de
soude ou, si possible, en utilisant un extincteur
d’incendie polyvalent à mousse ou à poudre.
• Si, par hasard, un brûleur s’éteint et du gaz
s’échappe, ouvrez une fenêtre ou une porte pour
laisser sortir l’air de la pièce. N’essayez jamais
d’utiliser votre appareil ménager avant que tout
le gaz se soit dissipé. Suivez les instructions de la
page 2 “Que faire si vous sentez le gaz.”
Vous pouvez éteindre des flammes dans le four
en fermant la porte du four et en mettant tous les
boutons de réglage en position OFF (arrêt) ou
en utilisant un extincteur d’incendie polyvalent
à mousse ou à poudre.
• NE RANGEZ JAMAIS OU N’UTILISEZ JAMAIS
DE MATIÈRE COMBUSTIBLE, D’ESSENCE
OU D’AUTRE VAPEUR OU LIQUIDE
INFLAMMABLE À PROXIMITÉ DE CET
APPAREIL OU DE TOUT AUTRE APPAREIL
MÉNAGER.
• N’utilisez jamais de papier d’aluminium pour
recouvrir un élément du four ou de la table de
cuisson. L’utilisation de papier d’aluminium peut
occasionner un incendie ou un arrêt de la
circulation d’air de combustion et de ventilation.
Le papier d’aluminium est un excellent isolant de
la chaleur et prend au piège toute la chaleur.
Cette chaleur prise au piège peut gêner la cuisson
et endommager le fini du four ou de la table de
cuisson.
• Ne laissez jamais de graisse de cuisson ou d’autre
matière inflammable s’accumuler dans votre
cuisinière ou à proximité de votre cuisinière.
Nettoyez après chaque utilisation les égouttoirs
et les revêtements intérieurs.
CUISSON DE SURFACE
• Ne réchauffez pas de contenants d’aliments
fermés; une augmentation de pression peut faire
exploser le contenant.
Si les brûleurs sont éteints par un débordement
important qui touche l’allumage, du gaz peut
s’échapper dans la pièce.
• Ajustez la taille de la flamme du brûleur de
surface de manière à ce qu’elle ne dépasse pas le
fond de la casserole. Une trop grande flamme est
dangereuse. Les brûleurs forts peuvent facilement
faire fondre les poignées de casserole.
• Ne laissez jamais de poignée de casserole
s’approcher des flammes quand vous soulevez une
casserole. N’utilisez jamais de serviette ou de linge
épais à la place d’une poignée de casserole.
• Pour minimiser la possibilité de brûlures,
d’ignition de matériel inflammable et de
renversement, tournez les poignées de casserole
vers le côté ou l’arrière de la cuisinière sans les
laisser dépasser sur des brûleurs adjacents.
• Tenez la casserole par sa poignée, à l’aide d’un
torchon sec, pour éviter tout mouvement de
l’ustensile quand vous remuez ou touillez des
aliments.
• Réchauffez toujours doucement les matières
grasses, et surveillez-les quand elles chauffent.
• Ne bloquez jamais les évents (ouvertures
d’aération) de votre cuisinière. Ils fournissent
l’entrée et la sortie d’air nécessaires pour
permettre à votre cuisinière de fonctionner avec
une bonne combustion. Les ouvertures d’aération
sont situées en haut et en bas de la porte du four,
devant l’égouttoir et en bas du dosseret.
• Utilisez toujours le réglage en position LITE
(allumage) quand vous allumez les brûleurs de
surface et assurez-vous que les brûleurs aient
bien pris feu.
• Ne laissez jamais vos brûleurs de surface sans
surveillance à un réglage de flammes élevées.
Les liquides bouillants causent des débordements
fumants et graisseux qui peuvent prendre feu.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SURFACE COOKING
• Always turn the surface burners to OFF
before removing cookware.
• 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.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
• Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
• 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.
• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the grill or the
griddle drip trays. Clean these areas after
each use.
• 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.
• For proper lighting and performance of the
cooktop burners, keep the burner ports
clean. It may be necessary to clean these
when there is a boilover or when the burner
does not light, even though the electronic
ignitors click.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• After cleaning, it is important to make sure
the cap and burner port are properly aligned
with the burner base. Incorrect alignment
will produce poor burner performance.
Never operate the burner without all burner
parts in place.
• When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slowly.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam
burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth
to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied
to a hot surface. Follow manufacturer’s
directions.
• 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.
• Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers and
• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively
fatty meats or products which promote
flare-up.
spillovers and large enough to cover burner
grate. This will both save cleaning time and
prevent hazardous accumulations of food,
since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the
range can ignite. Use pans with handles that
can be easily grasped and remain cool.
• If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and create a fire hazard.
• Be sure all the range and/or cooktop
controls are turned off and the appliance is
cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner
or cooking spray on or around the appliance.
The chemical that produces the spraying
action could, in the presence of heat, ignite
or cause metal parts to corrode.
• Keep all plastics away from the top burners.
• Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.

grasse s’accumuler dans le gril ou l’égouttoir.
Nettoyez ces surfaces après chaque usage.
• Utilisez autant que possible un thermomètre
profond à matières grasses pour empêcher les
matières grasses de surchauffer au-delà du point
de fumée.
• Pour bien allumer et faire fonctionner les
brûleurs de la table de cuisson, conservez
les orifices de brûleur propres. Vous devrez
peut-être les nettoyer s’il y a un débordement
ou si les brûleurs ne s’allument pas, même si les
allumeurs électroniques cliquent.
• N’essayez jamais de déplacer une casserole
de matière grasse chaude, en particulier une
friteuse à friture profonde. Attendez que la
matière grasse soit refroidie.
• Quand vous utilisez une casserole de verre,
assurez-vous qu’elle soit conçue pour la cuisson
sur table de cuisson.
• Après les avoir nettoyés, vous devez bien aligner
le capuchon et l’orifice du brûleur à la base du
brûleur. Si vous ne les alignez pas bien, vous
obtiendrez un mauvais rendement du brûleur.
Ne faites jamais fonctionner un brûleur si toutes
ses pièces ne sont pas bien placées.
• Si vous utilisez une combinaison d’huiles ou de
matières grasses pour vos fritures, mélangez
bien avant de chauffer ou pendant que les
matières grasses fondent doucement.
• Faites attention quand vous nettoyez la table
de cuisson. Évitez les brûlures dues à la vapeur.
N’utilisez jamais d’éponge ou de linge mouillé
pour nettoyer la table de cuisson quand elle est
chaude. Certains détergents produisent des
émanations délétères en contact d’une surface
chaude. Suivez les instructions du fabricant.
• Ne laissez aucun article sur la table de
cuisson. L’air chaud en provenance de l’évent
peut mettre feu à des articles inflammables et
augmenter la pression dans des contenants
fermés, qui peuvent exploser.
• Utilisez toujours la bonne taille de casserole.
Évitez les casseroles qui sont instables ou qui
peuvent être facilement renversées. Choisissez
des casseroles qui ont des fonds plats
suffisamment grands pour couvrir la grille du
brûleur. Pour éviter tout renversement, assurez-
vous que la casserole soit suffisamment grande
pour bien contenir toute la nourriture. Cela
économise du temps de cuisson et empêche
des accumulations dangereuses d’aliments,
car des renversements ou des débordements
importants sur votre cuisinière peuvent prendre
feu. Utilisez des casseroles qui ont des poignées
qui sont facilement saisies et restent froides.
• N’utilisez jamais le gril pour cuire des aliments
excessivement gras ou des produits qui
favorisent la flambée.
• Si la cuisinière est placée près d’une fenêtre,
ne pendez pas de rideaux longs qui peuvent
s’envoler sur les brûleurs de surface et
prendre feu.
• Assurez-vous que tous les boutons de réglage
du four et/ou de la table de cuisson soient
en position OFF (arrêt) et que votre appareil
ménager soit froid pour utiliser un produit
nettoyant en aérosol ou un aérosol de cuisine
sur ou autour de l’appareil. Les produits qui

Surface Cooking
Stainless Steel Range
Your surface burners are equipped with
electronic ignition which eliminates the need
for a standing pilot light.
In case of a power outage, you can light the
surface burners on your cooktop with a match.
Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn
the knob to the HIGH position. Use extreme
caution when lighting burners this way.
Electronic
ignition &
automatic
reignition
All igniters will spark and make clicking sounds
when only one burner is being turned on.
Do not touch any of the burners when igniters
are clicking.
The burners on this range will automatically
relight if the flame goes out. All burners will
spark while any one burner is relighting.
Burners may spark if wind or a draft lifts the
flame away from the flame sensor.
Push the control knob down and turn it
counterclockwise to the LITE position.
To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise,
as far as it will go, to the OFF position.
To light
a burner
• All of the burners can be used for both
general cooking and simmering.
ER
LITE
• Do not operate a 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.
• For your convenience, the indicator lamp
in the bezel for each knob verifies the burner
is “ON”.
• Be sure you turn the control knob to “OFF”
when you finish cooking.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob in either
direction to adjust the flame size.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you increase
or reduce heat.
How to
select
flame size
The flame size on a gas burner should match
the cookware you are using.
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE,
NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE
SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger
than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and
only serves to heat the handle.
NOTE: Use 10″ or larger diameter cookware
when using heat settings between HI and
X-HI.

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 for cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
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 cooktops.
Cookware
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 generally work satisfactorily
if they are used at medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
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 recommendations
for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—
those for oven use only and those for surface
cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots).
Glass conductors heat very slowly.
All burner grates are designed to support
wok cooking. For easy access and additional
clearances to combustibles, we suggest using
a front burner for wok cooking.
Wok
cooking
Lift out one burner grate at the front. Turn
it over and replace in the grate frame. The
wok side is contoured to support a wok with
a round or bowl shaped bottom. This design
eliminates the need for a wok ring and will
accommodate most woks.
Check to be sure that your wok fits securely
and is stable when placed on the wok grate.
CAUTION: Good wok stability is best achieved
by using round-bottom woks. Flat-bottom woks
are not recommended. Avoid using woks with
extremely smooth, untextured, bottom surface
finishes as these may allow undesired rocking
of the wok in the grate cradle.
ATTENTION : Pour obtenir une bonne
stabilité de travail, il vaut mieux utiliser des
woks à fond rond. Les woks à fond plat ne sont
pas recommandés. Évitez d’utiliser des woks
dont le fond a une surface extrêmement lisse,
sans texture, car il peuvent occasionner un
balancement imprévu du wok dans le trou
de la grille.

Surface Cooking
Stainless Steel Range
Occasionally grease drippings ignite. These
drippings will create minor puffs of flame for
a second or two. This is normal when cooking
on a barbecue. You may find it handy to have
a spray bottle filled with water to lightly spray
the flare-up.
To prevent flare-ups from happening, trim the
fat from around the edges of steaks and chops,
use hamburger that is lean, remove the fat
from poultry, etc.
Excessive
grill
flare-ups
and
flaming
When turning any kind of meat or poultry,
the melting fat will drop onto the grill radiant
and may create a flare-up. If this happens,
use a long-handled spatula to move the food
to another area.
If the flame becomes excessive, remove the
food from the grill. Lower the heat setting.
Replace the food when the flare-up subsides.
™
Gourmet Radiant Tray
Flare ups are minimized because a Gourmet
Radiant™ Tray, below the grille grate, directs
grease down to the drip pan before it begins
to burn.
The two-piece cast stainless steel grill grates are
reversible. Place the side with the two grooved
tabs toward the back of the cooktop.
Grill grates
(on some models)
The grate will change color when subjected
to the heat, and as oils cook onto the surface.
This is normal and does not affect the cooking
performance.
For best results, the grate should be seasoned
before the first use. Seasoning will insure a
stick-resistant cooking surface. If the grill has
not been used for a period of time, it should
be reseasoned.
To season the grill grate:
1 Clean the grate thoroughly with hot, soapy
water to remove any manufacturing oils, etc.
Side A
Side B
2 Rinse with a mixture of 2 cups water and
1/2 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.
The other side of the grate (side B) is designed
for delicate foods that need more support
while cooking, such as fish.
3 Using a heavy cloth, rub vegetable oil over
the entire surface of the rack. Do not use
corn oil, as it can get sticky.
Food cooked on this side achieves the same
flavor as food cooked on an outdoor grill. The
intense heat from the grill radiant caramelizes
the fats and juices that are brought to the
surface of the food, giving it the barbecued
flavor.
4 Place grate into the grill housing. Turn the
burner on to a medium setting. Turn the
burner off when the oil begins to smoke.
Allow grates to cool.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4.
This gas grill may cook slightly faster than you
are used to.
The grill is now ready for use.
One side of the grates (side A) is ridged and
should be used for foods where you want the
fat to run off, such as steak or hamburger
patties. The ridges are sloped so the fat runs
toward the front of the grill, into a drain hole
and down to a drip tray below.

Before starting to cook on the grill, be sure the
drip tray and liners are in place and that you
have the grill racks turned to the side you want
for cooking.
(on some models)
Preheat the grill for 15 minutes with the
control knob set on HI.
NOTE: The longer you preheat the grill, the
darker the grill marks will be on your food.
During cooking it may be necessary to adjust
the heat setting. The control knob may be set
to any position between HI and LO.
NOTE: The grill will take approximately
45 seconds to ignite. Unlike the surface
burners, which use electric igniters, the
grill uses a glow bar for ignition. It takes
approximately 45 seconds for the glow bar to
reach temperature. Gas is only supplied to the
grill once the glow bar reaches temperature.
For proper searing and browning the grill
requires high heat.
With large pieces of meat or poultry you will
need to turn the heat to a lower heat setting
after the food has been seared. This lower heat
setting will allow the food to cook through
without burning the outside.
Marinades and barbecue sauce should be
added toward the end of cooking time. The
heat should be turned to low when sauces are
added.
Do not leave the grill unattended while it is on.
When you are finished cooking, allow the grill
and the drip trays to cool before cleaning them.
They should be cleaned each time they are used.
Replace the grill cover.
Models equipped with a grill have a Gourmet
Radiant Tray which distributes the heat from
the burners evenly across the grill area.

• When turning the meat over, always use
a spatula as it will not puncture the meat
allowing the juices to run out. This will help
to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only
once, as juices are lost when the meat is
repeatedly turned. Season or salt the meat
after it has been cooked.
• The doneness of meat is affected by the
thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook
a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness.
A steak should be at least 1″ thick to have it
turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time
is affected by the temperature of the meat
when you start to cook it, the size and shape
of the cut and the kind of meat you are
cooking. The degree of doneness desired
also affects the time.
Grilling
hints
• Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat
or poultry. To prevent steaks or chops from
curling while they are being cooked, slit the
fat around the edges at about 2″ intervals.
To test for doneness, make a small cut in the
center of the meat.
• The U. S. Department of Agriculture says,
“Rare beef is popular, but you should know
that cooking it to only 140°F means some
food poisoning organisms may survive.”

heated air evenly, over and around the food.
During convection cooking, both the broil
element and the bake element are energized
along with the convection fan. As a result,
foods are evenly browned at lower

temperatures and in less time.
• Preheating is not necessary for foods with
a bake time over 15 minutes.
• Food is heated faster in a convection oven.
When using the convection feature, many
types of food can be cooked at lower
temperatures than those suggested for
regular ovens.
• Good for large quantities of baked foods.
• Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,
cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and
bread.
• Ideal for baked foods cooked on two or three
shelves. Because heated air is circulated
evenly throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results on two or three
racks at the same time. Multi-rack baking may
increase cook times slightly for some foods,
but the overall result is time saved. Multi-rack
baking provides very good results with
cookies, biscuits and other quickbreads.
• Recipe books often give times and
temperatures for cooking in traditional
thermal ovens. Convection ovens make it
possible to reduce the temperature by 25°F.
• Check foods for doneness at the minimum
suggested cooking time.
•
Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles or main dishes have been
developed using commercial convection
ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat
the oven and use the temperature on the
package.

Using the Ovens
Stainless Steel Range
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. Use the pan size
recommended in the recipe.
Metal and Glass
Convection
cookware
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans heat
the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.
• Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
When baking cookies, you will get the best
results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead
of a pan with low sides.
• Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
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.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you should
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate
well around food in a pan with high sides.

1 If the meat has fat or gristle around the
edge, cut vertical slashes through both about
2″ apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed,
leaving a layer about 1/8″ thick.
2 Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid
in the broiler pan. Always use the grid so
that any fat will drip into the broiler pan;
otherwise the juices may become hot
enough to catch on fire.

Self-Cleaning 27″ Oven
Stainless Steel Range
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket
to remain intact. If you notice it becoming
worn or frayed, replace it.
NOTE: When the 27″ oven is set for self-
cleaning, only the surface burners may be
used. The 12″ oven, the griddle and/or the
grill cannot be used.
Before a
clean cycle
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, probe and any aluminum foil from
the oven—they cannot withstand the high
cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: Your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven shelves. They may be
left in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Soil outside the gasket on the front frame of
the range and on the door will need to be
cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot
water, soap-filled scouring pads or cleansers
such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean
water and dry.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
The clean cycle takes about 5 hours plus about
30 minutes to cool down.
How to
set oven for
self-cleaning
1 Push in the CLEAN selector button on the
right hand side of the control panel above
the thermostat dial.
2 Set the thermostat dial to CLEAN.
• Cooling blower turns on.
Oven Control
• The OVEN light and HEATING light turn on.
• The DOOR LOCKED light turns on.
• The blower and the OVEN light will turn off
once the cycle has finished.
3 When cleaning has finished, push the OFF
selector button.
The door latch will unlock automatically after
the oven temperature falls below approx. 550°F.

If white spots remain, remove them with
warm sudsy water and rinse thoroughly with
a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits
are usually a salt residue that cannot be
removed by the clean cycle.
You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven
cools.
After a
clean cycle
If the shelves become hard to slide, apply a
small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to
a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven
shelves and racks with the paper towel.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,
repeat the cycle.
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish
on the inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides,
back and inside of the door—will stay new-
looking for years.
Précautions pour utiliser les produits à
nettoyer les fours en aérosol :
Companion
standard
clean
• Ne pulvérisez jamais sur les contrôles
électriques et les commutateurs, car cela
peut occasionner un court circuit et
provoquer des étincelles ou un incendie.
(48″ranges only)
Let the range cool before cleaning.
We recommend that you wear rubber gloves
when cleaning the range.
• Ne permettez jamais à une pellicule de produit
à nettoyer de se former sur le thermocontact.
Cela peut occasionner une mauvaise
température du four (le thermocontact est
situé à gauche du four). Essuyez soigneusement
le thermocontact après chaque nettoyage de
four, en prenant soin de ne pas le déplacer car
tout changement de position peut changer la
température de cuisson du four.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy,
wet metal pads may also be used. Do not allow
food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning
job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or
pottery container in a cold oven overnight.
The ammonia fumes will help loosen the
burned-on grease and food.
• Ne pulvérisez aucun produit de nettoyage
sur la porte du four, les poignées ou toute
surface extérieure du four, les surfaces
peintes ou la carrosserie de la cuisinière.
Le produit de nettoyage peut endommager
ces surfaces.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
• Vous pouvez placer les clayettes de four
émaillées dans le four de 27″ pendant l’auto
nettoyage.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
• Do not spray on the electrical controls and
switches because it could cause a short circuit
and result in sparking or fire.
• Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build
up on the temperature sensor—it could cause
the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is
located on the left-hand side of the oven.)
Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
sensor as a change in its position could affect
how the oven bakes.
• Do not spray any oven cleaner on the
oven door, handles or any exterior surface
of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces.
The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
• Porcelain-coated oven racks may be placed
in the 27″ oven during self-clean.
