Introduction
Features –Modern Maid Models
Specifications –Modern Maid Models
Oven
1. Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
2. Do not heat unopened food containers in the oven.
Buildup of pressure may cause a container to burst.
3. Keep the oven vent ducts unobstructed.
4. Place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot,
use a dry potholder.
5. Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.
Aluminum foil can cause a fire and will seriously
affect baking results.
6. Do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven during
or immediately after use. Do not let clothing or other
flammable materials contact bake or broil burners.
Although these surfaces may be dark in color, they
can still be hot enough to burn.
7. Other oven areas can become hot enough to cause
burns, such as vent openings, window, oven door
and oven racks.
8. Do not use oven cavities for storage space.
9. Do not drape towels or other materials on the oven
door handle. These items may contact a burner or
become too hot and ignite.
10. Do not use aluminum foil to cover the broiler grid.
The foil can trap grease on top of the grid, causing it
to ignite.
11. Do not attempt to clean the gasket located on the
inside of the oven door. Cleaning the gasket may
cause damage. This gasket is required to seal the
oven.
Safety Procedures
Due to the nature of cooking, fires can occur as a result
of overcooking or excessive grease. Use the following
procedures to extinguish a fire in the unlikely event one
occurs:
Surface Fires
1. Do not turn on the vent hood. The fan can spread
the flames.
2. If it is safe to do so, turn the surface burner to OFF.
3. Smother the fire with nonflammable lid or use a
Class “ABC” or “BC” fire extinguisher. Do not use
water on a grease fire.
Oven fires
1. Do not open the oven door.
2. Turn all controls to OFF.
3. As an added precaution turn off the electricity and
gas at the main circuit breaker or fuse box.
4. Allow the food or grease to burn itself out in the
oven.
Safety Precautions
General
1. The range must be installed and properly grounded
by a qualified installer or service technician.
2. Never use the range for heating a room.
3. Do not store items on the rangetop. Items stored on
the rangetop can become hot and melt.
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting garments should
never be worn while using the range.
5. Gasoline, or other flammable vapors or liquids and
combustible materials should not be stored near the
range. They may ignite, causing a fire.
6. Use only dry potholders. Using damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in steam burns. Do not let a
potholder touch an element. Do not use a towel or a
bulky cloth as a potholder.
7. Do not leave children unattended in an area where
the range is in use.
8. Never sit, stand or lean on any part of the range.
Surface Cooking
1. Use utensils with flat bottoms large enough to cover
the burner. Undersized utensils will expose the
burner to direct contact with clothing.
2. Turn utensil handles inward. They must not extend
over adjacent surface burners.
3. Do not touch areas near surface burners during or
immediately after use. These areas can become hot
enough to cause burns.
4. Do not store items of interest to children above the
range.
5. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
rangetop use. Unsuitable utensils may break due to
sudden temperature changes.
6. Never leave surface burner unattended at high heat
settings. Boilovers can cause smoking and may
ignite.
7. Clean the rangetop with caution. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if used on hot surfaces.
8. Do not place aluminum foil or foods packaged in
aluminum foil directly on a burner.

Installation

Cabinet Cutout and Clearances
Prepare the cutout as shown below.
• The range must be installed flush to the rear wall. It
can be installed flush with the side cabinets if
desired.
• The space between the side wall and the range top
must be a minimum of three inches.
• There must be at least 30 inches between the
cooktop surface and the bottom of an unprotected
wood or metal cabinet. The unprotected surface
must also be at least equal to the width of the
range.
• The maximum depth of the cabinets installed
above the range is 13 inches.
• Seal any openings in the wall behind the range or
on the floor under the range.

3. If mounting into wood flooring, drill 3/32-inch holes
as marked. If mounting into concrete, use a
masonry drill bit and drill 3/16-inch holes. Insert
plastic anchors into concrete holes. Position
bracket and mount using screws supplied with the
unit.
4. Level the range with leveling legs. The range must
be level to assure uniform cooking and baking. A
level should be placed on an oven rack or on top
of the range to level the unit. Verify the leveling
legs are extended at least one-quarter inch and
engaged with the anti-tip bracket(s).

Large burner performance on AGS, RSF and RSK
freestanding gas ranges can be improved by closing
the air shutter on surface burner venturi tubes. On
large burners only, air shutters should be closed as far
as practical (before sooting occurs). The air shutter
should be adjusted to within approximately 1/4-inch of
beingcompletely closed.
Access the air shutters as described previously.
Reassemble and test surface burner operation after
making this adjustment. This adjustment does not
apply to the small burner.
Adjusting the Height of Top Burner Flames (Some
Models)
The LOW burner flame should be a steady blue flame
approximately 1/4-inch high. The flame can be
adjusted by using the adjustment screw in the center of
the valve stem. If no adjustment screw is visible the
valve is non-adjustable and has been factory preset.
The valve stem is located directly behind the control
knob. To adjust the flame height, follow the instructions
below.
1. Remove control knob. (If no adjustment screw is
present behind the knob, the flame height cannot
beadjusted.)
2. Hold the knob stem with a crescent wrench or a
pair of pliers. Use a flat head screwdriver to turn
screw located in center of knob stem until flame is
approximately1/4-incheshigh.
3. Replace control knob.

Converting from Natural Gas to LP Gas
Amana and Caloric ranges are equipped to use either
natural or LP gas. They are, however, set at the factory
to use natural gas. Some components must be
adjusted to use LP gas. The following procedures
detail the conversion process.
Pressure Regulator Conversion
Several varieties of gas pressure regulators may equip
Amana and Caloric gas cooking products. All gas
pressure regulators perform the same function. In
most instances, universal pressure regulators are used
in gas cooking products. A universal regulator can be
modified to use either natural gas or liquefied
petroleum (LP) gas supplies.
Cooking products with universal pressure regulators
are set for a natural gas supply at the factory. Gas
cooking products can be connected to a natural gas
supplywithoutmodifyingthepressure regulator.
A universal pressure regulator, however, must be
modified when connecting a gas cooking product to an
LP gas supply. The procedure is described below in the
followingexamples.
Example One
1. Use an adjustable wrench to remove the cap in the
center of the pressure regulator.
2. Reverse the cap to read LP as shown below. Do
not disturb or move the spring beneath the cap.

CAUTION
!
To avoid the risk of serious personal injury, property
damage or fire, do not leave surface burners unat-
tended while in operation. Grease and spillovers can
ignite.
Do not attempt to light oven or broil burners during
a power failure.
Using the Cooktop
• Use the Proper Pan Size
Use cooking utensils with flat bottoms large
enough to cover the flame. Correct-sized utensils
improve cooking efficiency and promote safety.
Undersized utensils expose clothing and
spillovers to direct flame.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended
At high heat settings, boilovers can cause smok-
ing or fire.
• Turn Utensil Handles Inward
A handle extending from the range invites acci-
dents.
Cooking Utensils
Utensils made of different materials react differently to
cooking temperatures. The best results occur by
matching cooking utensil and cooking style. The fol-
lowing list describes the cooking characteristics of
variousmaterials.
• Glass/Ceramic responds slowly to temperature
changes. It responds best to long and slow heat-
ing of liquids.
• Aluminum responds quickly to temperature
changes. It responds best for frying, braising and
roasting.
• Cast iron responds slowly to temperature
changes. It responds best for long low heat cook-
ing and pan frying.
• Stainless steel combined with another metal such
as copper, responds better to temperature
changes. Use stainless steel for soups, sauces,
vegetables and general cooking.
• Copper, tin-lined utensils respond quickly to tem-
perature changes. It is excellent for gourmet
cooking, wine sauces and egg dishes.
• Enamelware is stain resistant porcelain over
metal. The cooking time varies according to the
base metal. Lower temperatures are usually rec-
ommended.
• Utensil design is important. Select utensils with
flat bottoms, straight sides, handle weight that
does not tilt the pan, and pans that match the
burner size. Do not use pans that overhang the
grate by more than one inch.

Thermostat Adjustment
About Oven Temperature Performance
The factory designs ovens to maintain an average
temperature in close tolerance to the oven setting. It
is, however, normal for the average oven temperature
to vary from the oven setting as much as 25 degrees.
This difference does not affect cooking since recipes
are written with this difference in mind. It is important
to consider these aspects when comparing a new ap-
pliance to one previously used.
The following procedures should be used to verify
oven temperature calibration on gas and electric ov-
ens and ranges.
1. Verify oven door is adjusted and sealing properly.
2. Do not cover oven rack(s) or oven bottom with
foil. Covering with foil can affect cooking perfor-
mance by blocking air circulation.
3. Verify that oven bottom and flame spreader are
intactand properlypositioned.
Loading a Thermocouple
A loaded thermocouple will provide stable temperature
readings. An 8-1/2 x 11-inch piece of aluminum foil
should be folded five times, doubling the thickness
with each fold. After the fifth fold, place the thermo-
couple tip in the center of the aluminum piece as
shown in the following illustration. Fold once more. Fi-
nally, fold the sides so the foil clings to the thermo-
couple.
Thermocouple Loading
Position a loaded thermocouple of a reliable test in-
strument on the center of an oven rack. Place the rack
in the center of the oven cavity.
Set controls to bake. Turn oven thermostat control to
350 degrees F. Allow oven to cycle for 25 to 30 min-
utes. Note the temperature at which the oven cycles
on and off. At a 350 degree F setting, the oven should
cycle between approximately 330 degrees and 370 de-
grees F for satisfactory performance. This provides an
average temperature of 350 degrees F, which is within
the ±25 degree tolerance.
Important Note: The oven indicator light may not si-
multaneously cycle with minimum and maximum tem-
peratures. Do not record temperatures by observing
the oven indicator light.
Oven Temperature Adjustment – Non ERC Models
The oven may be adjusted if foods are consistently un-
der or overdone. Some gas and electric ranges/ovens
feature oven thermostat knobs that may be adjusted
up to 30 degrees. The Use and Care guide provides
the consumer with detailed instructions on how to ad-
just the knob. Those instructions are also included be-
low.
1. Gently pull oven temperature control knob
straight out from the control panel.
2. Turn knob over. Use a Phillips head screwdriver
to loosen, but not remove, two screws in the
metal pointer plate. Each line above the plate rep-
resents a 10-degree temperature change. The
plate is set at the factory to point at the middle
line.
3. Turn knob handle to move pointer plate to the ap-
propriate line to increase or decrease oven tem-
perature.
4. Tighten screws with pointer at new line. Replace
knob on control panel. Use oven for a period of
time and repeat the above procedure if neces-
sary.
Important Note: Move pointer plate only one line
each.
5. If oven temperature is off more than 25 degrees,
replacethermostat.
1. Remove knob 2. Turn knob over

General Use
RB231001Rev.4 20
3. Position set 4. Loosen screws,
by factory adjust pointer,
tighten screws,
and replace knob.
Adjusting Oven Temperature Control Knob
In the event an adjustable skirt is not on the thermo-
stat knob or adjustment already made on the skirt
does not satisfy the calibration requirement, then the
calibration screw inside the thermostat shaft can be
adjusted. This calibration screw is sealed by glyptol,
usually red in color. This has to be broken and re-
moved with a small screwdriver to access the calibra-
tion screw.
Rotating the calibration screw counterclockwise one-
quarterturnlowers oven calibrationby approximately
35 degrees F. Rotating the calibration screw clockwise
one-quarter turn raises oven calibration by approxi-
mately 35 degrees F.
Important Note: Do not attempt to calibrate thermo-
stat while under warranty. Attempting to adjust the
thermostatnullifiesthe warranty.
Self-Clean Temperature Calibration
Clean Temperature Limits
An acceptable average clean temperature must fall
between 850 degrees F and 910 degrees F (880 de-
grees ±30 degrees). After the problem is properly di-
agnosed, if the clean temperature doesn’t fall within
these limits, the thermostat must be replaced.
Oven Temperature Adjustment – ERC Models
Ovens and ranges with the electronic range control
(ERC) feature can be adjusted using the following pro-
cedure.
1. Press and release the BAKE TEMP function but-
ton.
2. Turn TIME/TEMP SET knob clockwise until the
display shows a temperature between 500 and
550 degrees F. Quickly, before the ERC begins
the bake function, press and hold the BAKE/
TEMP function button. After approximately four
seconds, the display shows “00” or the offset
temperature previously programmed into the
ERC.
3. Turn the TIME/TEMP SET knob to show the de-
sired offset temperature in the display (up to ±35
degrees in five degree increments). A “+” indi-
cates an increase in oven temperature while a “-”
indicates a decrease in oven temperature.
4. Press the CLOCK function button to enter the off-
set temperature into the ERC. The calibration ad-
justment remains programmed into the ERC even
if power is removed from the ERC or range.
Important Note: This calibration does not affect self-
clean temperatures of models equipped with an elec-
tronic range control (ERC).
If oven temperature testing reveals that a calibration in
excess of ±35 F is required, the oven temperature
sensor, sensor wire harness and wire harness/sensor
connections must be checked before replacing the
ERC. A resistive connection within the sensor harness
will affect oven temperature calibration.
Summary
A thermostat performing outside of the bake or clean
temperature limits must be replaced.
For ERC-equipped models, refer to the troubleshoot-
ing guide in the service manual to properly diagnose
ERC components.
Record the overall average temperature obtained on
the warranty claim form for reference and to assist the
Amanawarranty department.
