below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when
the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items could melt or ignite.
•Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is
hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
•Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan
and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler.
•Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.
•Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan
of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner
off before removing the pan.
•Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top
burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the
flame so it does not extend beyond the edge o the utensil.
•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce the risk of burns,
ignitionofflammablematerials,andspillageduetounintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface burners.
•Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat
Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
•Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or fire.
•Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has
not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit
has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours
before turning on the power to the appliance.

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower
one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining
proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used
and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for
cooking.
Flame Size
Never extend the flame beyond the
outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases your risk of being burned
by the flame.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy.
If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be
undercooked. Donotattempttodeepfatfrytoomuchfoodatonceasthefood
will neither brown nor cook properly.

High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with
lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame
is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame
should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-
orange. To clean burner, see instructions under General Cleaning.
Proper Burner

Porcelain Enamel Oven (Upper Oven)
Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven
cleaners can be used on all interior oven surfaces.
Oven Cleaning
Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:
•
Allow the oven to cool before
cleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning
the appliance manually.
General Cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar
or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)
to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
•
REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY
SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE
THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS
LATER.
To Remove Heavy Soil
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours
with the oven door closed. Clean softened spots using hot, soapy water.
Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If
necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO
NOT mix ammonia with other cleaners.
Ammoniamustberinsed
before operating the oven. Provide
adequate ventilation.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause
a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature
sensing bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is
located at the right side of the upper oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean
after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A change in
its position could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and
capillary tube.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, bottom, racks or any other part
of the appliance with aluminum foil.
Doing so will destroy heat distribution,
produce poor baking results and cause
permanentdamagetotheoveninterior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior
surface of the oven).
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, handles or any
exterior surfaces of the range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.
To Clean the Oven Bottom
Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive
pad or oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions.
10
Self-Cleaning Oven (Lower Oven)
The lower oven has a self-cleaning oven interior.
Oven Cleaning
(continued)
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered
ash you can whisk away with a damp cloth.
During the self-cleaning
cycle, the outside of the appliance can
become very hot to the touch. Do not
leave small children unattended near
the appliance.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
•
•
Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue
after the self-clean cycle.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part
of the appliance with aluminum foil.
Doing so will destroy heat distribution,
produce poor baking results and cause
permanentdamagetotheoveninterior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior
surface of the oven).
•
•
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the self-cleaning oven.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven
door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or remove the gasket.
•
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing
so could cause damage.
2. Removethebroilerpanandinsert, allutensilsandanyaluminumfoil. These
items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
3. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through
the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull.
After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or
salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).
4. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-
cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers
can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. 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 as
they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Cleaning Cycle
Ifitbecomesnecessarytostoporinterruptaself-cleaningcycleduetoexcessive
smoke or fire:
1. Turn the Selector Control knob to OFF.
2. Once the oven has cooled below 550°F and the "Lock" light has gone
out, the door can now be opened.
DO NOT force the oven door or the manual door locking lever
open. Forcing the door open can damage the door lock. The oven must cool
for approximately 1 hour (or below 550°F) before the door lock can be opened.
Use caution when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed.
The oven may still be VERY HOT.
4. Correct the condition which caused the smoking.
5. Restart the self-clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.
11
To Start the Self-Clean Cycle (Lower Oven)
*We recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for
average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils(to assure satisfactory results).
Oven Cleaning
(continued)
To Set the Controls:
1. Make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day .
2. Turn the Selector Control knob to CLEAN.
3. Push the BAKE TIME pad.
4. Push the UP ARROW pad to enter the amount of time you want the clean
cycle to operate. Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil you
have—light, medium or heavy. *See above.
5. If you wish to set a delayed clean cycle, push the STOP TIME pad and enter
the time you wish the clean cycle to end. The automatic timer will turn the
oven on and off at the time you select in advance. If you are planning to
use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the
oven to cool down and the lock to unlock. This normally takes about one
hour. So to self-clean for 3 hours will actually take about 4 hours to
complete.
6. Move the oven door locking lever to the right. When the oven reaches high
cleaning temperatures, the "Lock" light will come on and you will not be
able to unlock the door until the oven has cooled below 550°F.
7. After the desired cleaning time has elapsed, the buzzer will sound and the
oven will turn off.
8. Be sure to turn the Selector Control knob to OFF when the self-cleaning
cycle is completed.
9. Once the oven has cooled below 550°F and the "Cleaning" light has gone
out, the oven door can now be opened. To open the door, move the locking
lever back to the left.
Use care when opening the oven door. Stand to the side of the
oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
DO NOT force the oven door or the manual door locking lever
open. Forcing the door open can damage the door lock. The oven must cool
for approximately 1 hour (or below 550°F) before the door lock can be opened.
Use caution when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed.
The oven may still be VERY HOT.
