ANTI-TIP DEVICE.

WARNING

Tip-Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed and engaged.

Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range is moved.

Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in place and engaged.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.

For Freestanding and Slide-In Ranges

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that

Anti-Tip Bracket Leveling Leg Freestanding and Slide-In Ranges

the rear leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket.

If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

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.

WARNING

This product contains one or more chemical known to the Sate of California to fects or other reproductive harm.

Self-clean ovens can cause low-level exposure to some of these substances, including carbon monoxide, during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

• Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this owner's manual.
  ■ Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by a qualified gas range installers or service technicians. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual.

• Your range is shipped from the factory set for use with natural gas. It can be converted for use with LP gas. If required, these adjustments must be made by a qualified technician in accordance with the installation instructions and local codes. The agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
  ■ Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to turn it off if necessary.

• 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 responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use on extension cord with this appliance.
  ■ Before performing any service, unplug the range or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
  ■ Be sure all packing materials are removed from the range before operating to prevent ignition of these materials
  ■ Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cooktops or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.
  ■ Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

■ CAUTION

Do not store items of cabinets above an oven in the oven to reach items cured.

■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range or tip it over causing severe injury or death.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)

■ Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlets and outlets 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.
■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch surface burners, burner grate, or oven heating element. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
■ Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do

not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the burners, grates, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening and crevices around the oven door.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
■ Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an internal temperature of 160^ F and poultry to at least an internal temperature of 180^ F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

WARNING

KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN

Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

■ Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Avoid storing commonly used items in cabinets above the range and be careful when reaching over the range. Clothing in close proximity to burners or hot surfaces may ignite causing severe burns.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.
■ Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

WARNING

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING

■ 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. If necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, turn the oven off and keep the door closed until the fire goes out. If necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.

If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

WARNING

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding cabinets.
■ Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
■ To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
■ Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame may be hazardous.
■ Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

■ When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of sudden change in temperature.
■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby burners.
■ When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the fan on.
■ Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.
■ Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.
■ When disabling Lock Control (on some models), make sure the surface controls are set to the OFF position. This will prevent unintended gas flow from the burners.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

• Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this owner's manual.
  ■ Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the oven may ignite.
  ■ Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, be careful to avoid touching hot surfaces.

■ Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.
■ Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
■ Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent which is in the center of the backguard. Items may overheat resulting in a risk of fire or burns.
- When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
■ Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is not permitted due to overheating of control knobs.

WARNING

SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The self-cleaning feature (on some models) operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation.

■ Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean operation. Keep children away from the oven during self-cleaning. Failure to follow these instructions may cause burns.
■ Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans, shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the oven. Only porcelain-coated oven racks may be left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other parts, such as grates.

■ Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease may ignite leading to smoke damage to your home.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
■ Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

WARNING

BROIL DRAWER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Some models)

The purpose of the broil drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow very rapidly in food that is between 40 and 140°F. Do not put cold food in broil drawer. Do not keep food in the broil drawer for more than 2 hours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in foodborne illness.
■ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.
■ Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to cause burns.

■ Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam that escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the broil drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and potentially cause a fire hazard.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Surface Burners

How to Light a Surface Burner

WARNING

Burners should be operated only when covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.

Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.

Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

You will hear a clicking noise—the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. When one burner is turned to LITE, all burners will spark. Sparking will continue as long as the knob remains at LITE. Once gas is ignited, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

After Lighting a Burner

• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
  ■ Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

■ Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials on them.

Use of the Surface Burners

Your gas rangetop has sealed gas burners. They offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.

The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking performance for foods such as delicate sauces that require low heat for a long cooking time.

The extra-large burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. Some models have a POWER BOIL™ setting especially designed for use with cookware with a diameter of 11 inches or larger.

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When rapid heating is desired, the flame size on a burner should match the size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be hazardous.

These flames are too large for the pot

Surface Burners (Cont.)

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.

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.

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 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.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Pure diagram of concentric circular patterns with a crossed black line, no text or symbols present

Do not use stove top grills

Using a Wok

Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.

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 hazardous to your health.

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

In Case of a Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner ports, then slowly turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally. If Lock Control (on some models) is in use at the time of a power failure, the surface burners cannot be lit.

Note: If power outage occurs during Sabbath mode the unit will remain in Sabbath mode but off when power is restored.

Oven Racks

Main Oven

Your oven has six rack positions in the main oven. Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow air to flow.

Oven Racks

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in.

Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.

Bake

The bake mode is for baking and roasting. This mode uses heat only from the lower burner. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines are provided center food in the oven. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the main oven and broil drawer doors closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil burner increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting.

Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil burner when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a rack position farther from the burner or by using Broil Lo.

Broil Hi

The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper burner to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of

meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Broil Lo

The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper burner to cook food thoroughly while also browning the surface. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Convection Bake Multi Rack

The Convection Bake Multi Rack mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses heat from the upper burners along with air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert the temperature when using this mode. To use this mode press the Bake Multi Rack pad under Convection, enter a temperature, and then press Start. Always preheat when using this mode.

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25^ F next time.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

Cleaning The Oven

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.

Control Panel and Knobs

Wipe the control panel after each use of the oven with a damp cloth. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish.

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 shaft.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. With knobs in the OFF position pull them straight off the stems.

The knobs can be washed by hand with soap and water or in a dishwasher.

Not all knobs are interchangeable. To determine the correct location of a particular knob, examine the back of the knob. A knob with a label or two stem holes should be replaced on the front panel first by matching the shape of the knob holes to the shape of the control panel stems. The remainder of the knobs having no labels and only one stem hole can then be replaced on the front panel anywhere there is a single stem.

Stern Label Stem holes

Surface burner knob Knobs with two stem holes have special locations

Oven Exterior and Cooktop Surface

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.

If a stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

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.

To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish read the Assistance and Accessories sections at the beginning of this manual.

Oven Interior

The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using the Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Manual Cleaning

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.

Steam Clean Mode (on some models)

The Steam Clean feature is intended to use water to clean light soil from your oven at a lower temperature than Self Clean.

To use the Steam Clean feature:

1. Start with the oven at room temperature
2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven
3. Pour one cup of water onto the bottom of the oven
4. Close and latch the door
5. Press the Steam Clean pad and then press Start.

The oven door will lock. You cannot open the door during the 30 minute Steam Clean cycle as this will decrease the cleaning performance. At the end of the Steam Clean cycle the door will unlock. With a sponge, soak up remaining water and wipe the moisture-softened soil from the oven walls and door.

Cleaning The Oven (Cont.)

Oven Interior (continued)

Self Clean Mode

Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode. Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven interior. The oven door will lock when using this feature. Before operating the self-clean cycle, pre-wash inner door and inside window before self-cleaning. Wipe inner black door before self clean. Remove all items from the oven other than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or silver racks, the meat probe, and any cookware or other items should all be removed from the oven

before initiating a self-clean cycle. Close the door. Latch the door. If the oven is too hot, you will not be able to slide the latch. Wait until the oven is cool to slide the latch. Press the Clean pad once and a default self-clean time is displayed. Press the START pad or use the number pads to enter any clean time between 3 and 5 hours and press start. For heavily soiled ovens 5 hours is recommended. The oven will turn off automatically when the self-clean cycle is complete. The door will stay locked until the oven has cooled down. After the oven has cooled down wipe any ash out of the oven.

Oven Racks

All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool. Black porcelain-coated oven racks may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle without being damaged. If nickel-plated oven racks remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle, they

will lose their luster and become hard to slide. It will be necessary to grease all oven rack side edges with a light coating of vegetable oil after cleaning them by hand or in the oven. This will help maintain the ease of sliding the racks in and out of the oven.

Cleaning The Cooktop

Removal of Surface Burners for Cleaning

Turn all controls OFF. Allow cooktop to cool before removing grates and burner parts. When removing the burner caps and heads, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to remove oval burner cap from burner head.

Round Burner Cap (Removable)

Round Burner

The burner caps and burner heads can be lifted off the cooktop.

Oval Burner Head and Cap Assembly (Non-Removable) Electrode (Non-Removable)

Oval Burner (on some models)

Cap is permanently attached to the burner head.

Cleaning The Cooktop (Cont.)

Cleaning The Burners

Burner Caps

Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. The round caps may also be cleaned in your dishwasher.

Burner Heads

Wash the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog the openings. Lift burners off when cool. Use hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean water. For more stubborn stains, use a brush with plastic bristles.

NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to clean the burner parts as these may clog the parts. Never wash burner heads in your dishwasher as dishwasher detergents will discolor your burners.

The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.

Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow the burner to operate properly.

Round hole in burner head must be kept clear

For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the notch that fits over the electrode is kept open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it

After cleaning

Before putting the burner caps, heads (on some models) and oval head/cap assembly back, shake out excess water and allow them to dry thoroughly.

Replacing Burner Heads

Replace burner heads in the correct locations according to size.

Burner Caps

Replace burner caps on burner heads. Make sure each cap fits securely and sits flat on its corresponding burner head.

CAUTION

Do not operate the cooktop

without all burner parts and grates in place.

Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care to not hit an electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged.

Electrode

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the burner head is removed. 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.

Burner cap is NOT properly seated.

Burner cap is NOT properly seated.

Burner cap is properly seated.

Burner Grates

Grates should be washed in hot, soapy water and rinsed with clean water. To soften burned-on food, place grates in a plastic bag containing 14 -cup of household ammonia for several hours. Afterward, scrub grates with a plastic scouring pad soaked in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry.

When replacing the grates, be sure to locate them correctly on the cooktop. Grates are identified by the words LEFT and RIGHT on their bottom surfaces. Grate should fit securely into the cooktop.

Grates will gradually lose their shine due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.

Cleaning The Door and Drawer

To clean the inside of the door

Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots in the door.

Wipe dishwashing detergent over any baked-on spatters on the glass. Use a single sided safety razor blade to clean it off. Then wipe over the glass with a soapy cloth to remove any residue and dry off.

The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soap-filled plastic scouring pad.

Simple diagram with a rectangular frame containing a black rectangle and diagonal lines, no text or symbols present.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

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.

Removable Storage Drawer (on some models)

The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable material in the drawer.

The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under the range. Clean the storage drawer with a damp cloth or sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or scouring pads.

To remove storage drawer:

1. Pull drawer straight out until it stops.
