WARNING

DANBY DR240WGLPC - WARNING - 1

  • All ranges can tip.
    • BURNS or other SERIOUS INJURIES can result.
  • INSTALL and CHECK the anti-tip bracket following the instructions supplied in this manual.

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

DANBY DR240WGLPC - WARNING - 2

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

WARNING

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont'd)

  • 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 grates, or oven heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
  • Be careful not to touch hot surfaces of the range. Potentially hot surfaces include burners, grates, cooktop, backguard, oven and door interior 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

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  • Never leave the range unattended while a surface burner is ON. Foods, especially oily foods, may ignite resulting in fi re 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 flames 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 changes 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 if your range has sealed surface burners. Doing so may damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.
  • 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.

WARNING

WARMING DRAWER/ LOWER OVEN DRAWER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Some Models)

  • The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow very rapidly in food that is between 40 and 140^ . Do not put cold food in the warming drawer. Do not keep food in the warming 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 warming 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.

USING THE GAS SURFACE BURNERS

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

• Make sure all burners are in place.
- Make sure all grates on the range are properly placed before using any burner.

AFTER LIGHTING A GAS 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.
  • 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

DANBY DR240WGLPC - HOW TO LIGHT A GAS SURFACE BURNER - 1

natural_image Hand pressing a button on a vertical panel with an arrow indicating left motion (no text or symbols)

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

  • Make sure all the surface burners are placed in their respective positions.
  • 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.
    • Turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click.
  • 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.

HOW TO SELECT FLAME SIZE

DANBY DR240WGLPC - HOW TO SELECT FLAME SIZE - 1

natural_image Simple line drawing of a cooking pot with a crossed-out black X mark, no text or symbols present

DANBY DR240WGLPC - HOW TO SELECT FLAME SIZE - 2

WARNING

Flames that are not covered by cookware may present a risk of burns or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware.

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

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.
    • 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.
  • 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.

IN CASE OF 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.

USING THE OVEN

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

OVEN CONTROLS

DANBY DR240WGLPC - OVEN CONTROLS - 1

text_image OVEN • TEMP OFF BROIL 200° 350° 400° 500° 650° 750° 300°
  • Your oven is controlled by an OVEN TEMP knob. It can take up to 90 seconds before the flame comes on.
    • After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner maintains the selected temperature.

POWER OUTAGE

  • The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure.
  • If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off. This is because the flow of gas is automatically stopped and will not resume until power is restored.

OVEN SHELF POSITIONS

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

DANBY DR240WGLPC - OVEN SHELF POSITIONS - 1

text_image Diagram showing a ladder with wavy lines and labeled vertical letters A, B, C, D on a wall, with a hand pointing to the right.

The oven has 4 shelf positions.

Before you begin...

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports (A through D), they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.

DANBY DR240WGLPC - Before you begin... - 1

WARNING

When you are using a rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you can be burned if you put your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out.

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.

NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out at the special low shelf (A) position.

UPPER OVEN VENT

DANBY DR240WGLPC - UPPER OVEN VENT - 1

natural_image Cartoon illustration of a hand pressing down on a surface with arrows indicating motion (no text or symbols)

Plastic items on the cooktop may melt if left too close to the vent. Vent appearance and location can vary.

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 operations - they may become hot.

  • Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.
  • Do not leave plastic or flammable items on the cooktop - they may melt or ignite if left too close to the vent.
  • Do not leave closed containers of the cooktop. The pressure in closed containers may increase, which may cause them to burst.
  • Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

OVEN LIGHT

On some models: Use the switch on the lower control panel to turn the light on or off.

On some models: Press the Oven Light button found on the upper control panel to turn the light on or off.

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.

USING THE OVEN FOR BAKING

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

HOW TO SET YOUR OVEN FOR BAKING

  1. Close the oven door. Then turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired temperature.
  2. Check to see if the food is done at the minimum time on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and remove the food.

OVEN SHELVES

DANBY DR240WGLPC - OVEN SHELVES - 1

natural_image Diagram of a grid setup with two circular objects on top, surrounded by leafy plants (no text or symbols)

Place most foods in the middle of the oven.

Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired.

As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either the shelf position B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

Type of Food Shelf PPosition
Angel food cake A
Biscuits, muffi ns or cup-cakesB or C
Cookies C or D
Brownies B or C
Layer cakes B or C
Bundt or pound cakes B
Pies or pie shells B or C
Frozen pies (on cookie sheet)B or C
Casseroles B or C

PREHEATING

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature - selecting a higher temperature does not shorten the preheat time.

Preheat the oven for 10 minutes if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting the food in the oven.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles and roasts, preheating is not necessary.

USING THE OVEN FOR BAKING

BAKING PANS

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

  • Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking in glass baking dishes, lower the temperature by 25^ and use the recommended cooking time in the recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies or casseroles.
  • Dark, rough, or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
  • Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cooking require this type of pan.

PAN PLACEMENT

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1 to 1 1/2 inches of space between pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.

If you need to use two shelves stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.

COOKIES

DANBY DR240WGLPC - COOKIES - 1

natural_image Diagram of a container with rows of circular wells and seedlings inside, no text or symbols present

Flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet.

PIES

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust.

Frozen pies in foil pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet for baking, since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.

CAKES

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.

A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it should be.

If baked in a pan smaller than recommended, it may be undercoked and batter may overflow.

Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.

DON'T PEEK

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such as ``bake 30-40 minutes``.

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

USING THE OVEN FOR BAKING

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 to 1 1/2 inches from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

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.

Roasting is cooking using dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Roasting is easy: just follow these directions:

DANBY DR240WGLPC - OVEN MOISTURE - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a kitchen appliance with a tray, drawer, and hand holding a tool (no text or symbols)

Place the shelf in the A or B position.

  1. Place the shelf in the A or B position. No preheating is necessary.
  2. Check the weight of the meat. Place it fat side up (or for poultry, breast-side-up) on a roasting rack in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible. Line the pan with aluminum foil when using the pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or basting food during cooking.
  3. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired setting.
  4. After roasting is complete, turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and then remove the food from the oven.

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT - EASY TO DO YOURSELF

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use you 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°F.

Note: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures. The adjustment will be retained after a power failure.

text_image LOOSING POT DO NOT

Back of OVEN TEMP knob

  1. Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the range and look at the back side. To make an adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn), but do not completely remove, the two screws on the back of the knob.
  2. With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.

To increase the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the right. You will hear a click for each notch you move the knob.

To decrease the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the left.

Each click will change the oven temperature approximately 10^ F. (The range is plus or minus 60^ F from the arrow.) We suggest that you make the adjustment one click from the original setting and check oven performance before making any additional adjustments.)

  1. After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so that they are snug, but be careful not to over-tighten.
  2. Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the knob to the shaft, and check performance.

USING THE OVEN FOR BROILING

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

Your range has a compartment below the oven for broiling. A specially designed broiler pan allows dripping fat to drain away from the food.

Both the oven door and broiler compartment drawer should be closed during broiling.

Most broiling should be done in position A.

  1. Preheat the broiler for best results.
  2. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through it about 2 inches apart, but don't cut into the meat. We recommend that you trim the fat to prevent excessive smoking, leaving a layer about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Close the oven door and broiler compartment drawer.
  4. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to BROIL.
  5. Turn most foods once during cooking. Time foods for about one-half the total cooking time, turn food, then continue to cook to completion.
  6. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF. Remove the broiler pan from the broiler rack and serve the food immediately. Leave the pan outside the range to cool.

USING THE OVEN FOR BROILING (cont'd)

HOW TO SET THE BROILER COMPARTMENT (on some models)

DANBY DR240WGLPC - USING THE OVEN FOR BROILING (cont'd) - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a grating machine with cooling fins and mounting base (no text or symbols)

Both the oven and broiler compartment doors must be closed during broiling.

Turn most foods once during cooking (the exception is thin fillets of fish; oil one side, place that side down on the broiler grid and cook without turning until done). Time foods for about one-half the total cooking time, turn food, then continue to cook until done.

  1. You can change the distance of the food from the heat source by positioning the broiler pan and grid on one of three rack positions in the broiler compartment - A (bottom of broiler compartment), B (middle) and C (top).
  2. Preheating the broiler or oven is not necessary and can produce poor results.
  3. If meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8 inches thick.
  4. Arrange the food on the grid and position the broiler pan on the appropriate rack in the oven or broiling compartment. Placing food closer to the flame increases exterior browning of the food, but also increases spattering and the possibility of fats and meat juices igniting.
  5. Close the oven and broiler compartment door.
  6. Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to BROIL.
  7. When broiling is finished, turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF. Remove the broiler pan from the broiler compartment and serve the food immediately. Leave the pan outside the range to cool.

ALUMINUM FOIL

DANBY DR240WGLPC - ALUMINUM FOIL - 1

text_image Hand-drawn sketch of a hand writing on a printed document with lines and annotations

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

BROILING COMPARTMENT GUIDE SUGGESTIONS

Both the oven and broiler compartment doors must be closed during broiling.

  • Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.
  • For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices.
  • If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling; or you can brush with barbecue sauce in the last 5-10 minutes only.
  • When arranging the food on the pan, do not let fatty edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could soil the oven.
  • The broiler compartment does not need to be preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.
  • Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the rack at the next lowest rack position and increasing the cooking time given in this guide 1 1/2 times per side.

USING THE OVEN FOR BROILING (cont'd)

BROILING COMPARTMENT GUIDE SUGGESTIONS (cont'd)

The USDA recommends the following minimum safe internal temperatures:

  • Raw beef, pork, lamb and veal steaks or chops: 145 °F as measured with a food thermometer before removing meat from the heat source. For safety and quality, allow meat to react for at least three minutes before carving or consuming.
  • Raw ground beef, pork, lamb or veal: 160^ as measured with a food thermometer.
  • Poultry: 165^ as measured with a food thermometer.

DANBY DR240WGLPC - LIFT-UP COOKTOP (on models with standard twin burners) - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a cabinet with two doors and circular vented dividers (no text or symbols)

Some models have dual support rods that will hold the cooktop up while you clean underneath it.

  • Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.
    • To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up.
  • NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

To raise the cooktop:

  1. Be sure the burners are turned off.
  2. Remove the grates.
  3. Grasp the two front burner wells and lift up.

  4. Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. If you removed your surface burners while cleaning, make sure they are properly seated when replacing them.
    • After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be careful not to pinch your fingers).

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE

BURNER GRATES

DANBY DR240WGLPC - BURNER GRATES - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a rectangular tray with multiple curved slots and a central slot (no text or symbols)

Your range has two or three professional-style double grates. These grates are position-specific. For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper 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. in addition, the middle grate is supported by the left and right grates and must be installed LAST for stability.

Cleaning

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let soak several hours or ovenight. Wash, rinse well and dry.
  • 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 sooner with lighter color grates.
    • NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning oven.

For cleaning information on sealed burners, see section below. Sealed burner cooktops do not lift up.

  • On models with standard twin burners, the cooktop lifts up for easy access.
  • Turn all contols OFF before removing burner parts and rip pans (if so equipped).
  • The burner grates and drip pans can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.
  • The holes in the surface burners of your range must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and an even, unhampered flame.
  • You should clean the surface burners routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog these holes.
  • Wipe off surface burners. If heavy spillover occurs, remove the surface burners from the range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the cooktop and then lift out the surface burners.
  • To remover burned-on food, soak the surface burner in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water. Soak the surface burner for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser. Rinse well to remove any traces of the cleanser that might clog the surface burner openings.
  • Do not use steel wool because it will clog the surface burner openings and scratch the surface burners. if the holes become clogged, clean them with a sewing needle or twist-tie.
  • Before putting the surface burner back, shake out excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the range, making sure it is properly seated and level.
  • Check the flame pattern of each burner. If the flames are "jumpy" (not steady), clean the holes again with a sewing needle or twist-tie.

Clean these holes thoroughly on each side.

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE (cont'd)

DRIP PANS (if so equipped)

DANBY DR240WGLPC - DRIP PANS (if so equipped) - 1

PORCELAIN OVEN INTERIOR

DANBY DR240WGLPC - PORCELAIN OVEN INTERIOR - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a hand cleaning a car interior with a trash bin nearby (no text or symbols)
  • NOTE: Wait for range to cool before cleaning.
  • With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will retain its attractive finish for many years.
  • Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleanser. Soapy, wet 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 dull spots even after cleaning.
  • Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup ammonia in a shallow glass pan and leave in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.
  • When necessary, you may use a commercial oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

  • Do not spray the oven cleaner 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 remain on the temperature sensor - it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor since a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.
  • Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinet or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the sides, control panel and door. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution. Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

INSTALL THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET (cont'd)

STEP 2 SECURE THE BRACKET

The bracket must be screwed to either the FLOOR or the REAR WALL.

FLOOR Installation

WOOD FLOOR: Use the screws provided to secure the bracket using the pair of marked holes (Loc. A).

CONCRETE FLOOR: Using a concrete bit, drill a 5/32" pilot hole 2" deep into the concrete at the center of each of the marked holes (Loc. A). Use the screws provided to secure the bracket into the floor.

REAR WALL Installation

Use the 2 screws provided to secure the bracket using the pair of marked holes at Loc. B. The screws MUST enter into a wood sill plate. If the wall contains any metal studs or similar materials, then the floor must be used.

STEP 3 CHECK THE BRACKET

After installing the bracket, slide the range into its final location. To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the anti-tip arm attached to side panel is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easier 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 anti-tip arm slides just 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.

DANBY DR240WGLPC - STEP 3 CHECK THE BRACKET - 1

IMPORTANT

The anti-tip bracket must be PROPERLY INSTALLED to prevent the range from tipping. NEVER remove the leveling legs. This will prevent the range from being secured to the ANTI-TIP bracket properly.

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 to the floor or wall. Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range is moved by sliding the anti-tip arm just under the bracket. 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.

INSTALL THE RANGE

1. PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5" of water column on natural gas or, if desired for LP gas (propane or butane), 10" of water column.

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.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 6" and 13" of water column.

For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 11" and 13" of water column.

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.

Thre pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.

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.

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.

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.

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.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around all male (external) pipe threads.

INSTALL THE RANGE (cont'd)

2. CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS (cont'd)

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.
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. 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 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.

DANBY DR240WGLPC - CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS (cont'd) - 1

WARNING

Fire hazard: 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 rane from the gas supply system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Electrical Requirements

120 volt, 60 hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit protected by a 15 amp or 20 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

NOTE: Use of automatic, wireless, or wired external switches that shut off power to the appliance are not recommended for this product.

Grounding:

DANBY DR240WGLPC - Electrical Requirements - 1

WARNING

Shock Hazard: This appliance must be properly grounded. Failure to do so can result in electric shock.

DANBY DR240WGLPC - WARNING - 1

text_image Ensure proper ground exists before use

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. 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.

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. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

A word about GFCIs - GFCIs are not required or recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) 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 GFCIs 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.

4. SEAL THE OPENINGS

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range when hookups are completed.

5. IF THE RANGE HAS ELECTRIC IGNITION

There are separate ignition devices for the left and right hand surface burners. Both of these ignitors are ON when any knob is turned to the LITE setting. The ignitors will spark as long as any of the top burner knobs are at the LITE setting.

In the event of an electrical power failure, the top burners can still be used. To light a burner, hold a lit kitchen match adjacent to the top burner to be used and turn valve knob to LITE. USE EXTREME CAUTION.

6. ADJUST THE OVEN BURNER AIR SHUTTER IF NECESSARY

DANBY DR240WGLPC - ADJUST THE OVEN BURNER AIR SHUTTER IF NECESSARY - 1

text_image Blue fl ames Gas natural 1/2" Inner cone of fl ame LP Gas 1" Bake/broil burner /

For Natural Gas:

The oven burner flame should be a clean, blue flame with distinct inner cones approximately 1/2 inch long. A soft, lazy flame with indistinct cones means too much gas or not enough air. A noisy lifting flame means too much air.

For LP gas:

The flame should have approximately 1-inch blue cones. After 30 seconds of burner operation, check for flames lifting off the burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce the air shutter opening until flames are stabilized. Some yellow tipping may be normal for LP gas.

If Adjustment is Necessary:

A: Loosen the lock screw located at the top of the air shutter, then rotate the air shutter to the correct setting and retighten the screw.

DANBY DR240WGLPC - If Adjustment is Necessary: - 1

text_image Air shutter Loosen lock screw

B: Oven burner flame can be checked as follows (without burner baffle in place)

- To correct a yellow flame, increase size of air shutter opening

• To correct a lifting, but distinct, blue flame - Decrease size of air shutter opening.

C: The air shutter should be set approximately 2/3 open for natural gas, and approximately full open for LP gas.

D: The oven burner air shutter adjustment is the same on ranges with a gas pilot or electric ignition.

7. QUALITY OF FLAMES

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined visually.

A: Yellow fl ames: call for service.

DANBY DR240WGLPC - QUALITY OF FLAMES - 1

B: Yellow tips on outer cones: normal for LP gas

DANBY DR240WGLPC - QUALITY OF FLAMES - 2

C: Soft blue flames: normal for natural gas

DANBY DR240WGLPC - QUALITY OF FLAMES - 3

If burner fl ames look like (A), call for service. Normal burner fl ames should look like (B) or (C), depending on the type of gas you use. With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.

8. REPLACE OVEN PARTS

After all adjustments are made, replace the oven bottom, shelves and oven door.

9. LEVELING THE RANGE

A. Install the oven shelves in the oven and position the range where it will be installed with front access to front leveling legs and rear access to rear leveling legs. All legs must be leveled BEFORE the product is installed.

B. Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or a cup partially filled with water, on one of the oven shelves. If using a spirit level, take two readings - with the level placed diagonally first in one direction and then the other.

C. Remove the drawer (on some models). See the Care and Cleaning of the Range section. The front leveling legs can be adjusted from the bottom and the rear legs can be adjusted from teh top (on some models) or the bottom.

D. Use an open-end or adjustable wrench to adjust the levling legs until the range is level.
