SAVETHESE l/VSTRUCTlOlVS
1. Top burners may be lit with a match. Do not
use oven or broiler during electrical power
outage (see instructions on page 9.)
2. For your safety, top burner flame size should
be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the
bottom edge of the cooking utensil.
3. The appliance must not be used for space
heating.
4. Gas supply pressure max. 8 and min. 6 inch
wcp for Natural gas. Max. 12 and min. 11
inches wcp for LP gases. The appliance
pressure regulator is set at 5 inches wcp for
Natural gas and 10 inches wcp for LP gases.
5. Do not store items on the rangetop during
baking, broiling or self-cleaning since the oven
vents over this area.
Surface Cooking Units:
I. Use Proper Pan Size - Select utensils large
enough to properly contain food and avoid
boilovers or spillovers. This will prevent
hazardous accumulations of food (especially
grease), since heavy splattering or spillovers
left on a range can ignite. Pan size is
especially important in deep fat frying.
2. Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at
High Heat Settings - Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers which can
ignite.
3. Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop use.
Some are not suitable and will break due to
the sudden change in temperature.
4. Type of Utensils - Avoid pans that are
unstable and tip easily. In choosing pans, look
for easy-to-grip handles that will stay cool.
Pans that are too heavy when filled with food
can also be a hazard. If pan handles twist and
cannot be tightened, discard the pan.

RTANT
UCTIONS C
5. Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners -
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flamma-
ble materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface burners.
6. Do not mix household cleaning products.
Chemical mixtures can interact with objection-
able or even hazardous results.
7. Clean rangetop with caution. To avoid steam
burns - do not use a wet sponge or cloth to
wipe up spills on a hot cooking area.
8. Grease - Grease is flammable and should be
handled carefully. Never leave any cooking
operation unattended. Let fat cool before
attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease to
collect around the rangetop. Wipe up spill-
overs immediately,

Unobstructed.
4. Placement of Oven Racks - Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot,
do not let potholder contact hot oven or broiler
burner in oven.
Self-Cleaning Ovens:
I. Do Not Clean Door Gasket - The door gasket
is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
2. 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.
3. Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
4. Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove
oven racks, broiler pan and other utensils.
Wipe up excessive spillage and grease.
Ventilating Hoods:
1. Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on hood
or filters.

FOR SAFETY’S SAKE
l Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas,
They will stick and melt.
l Do not use aluminum foil or place foods pack
aged in aluminum foil directly on the rangetop
for cooking. Use of foil can damage the
rangetop.
l Do not leave fat heating unless you remain
nearby. Fats can ignite if overheated by spilling
onto hot surfaces.
0 Do not allow pots to boil dry on high settings as
this can cause damage to the rangetop surfaces
and the pan.
l NEVER use your rangetop or oven for storage
space.
l The broil and bake burners cannot be operated
during a power failure and no attempt should
ever be made to do so.
ACAUTION: ~0 AVOID THE RISK 0~ B~MVS:
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS,
BURNER GRATES, OR AREAS NEAR
BURNERS - Areas near surface burners can
become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact surface burners or
areas near burners until they have had suffi-
cient time to cool. Among these areas are the
rangetop and the surfaces facing the rangetop.
DO NOT TOUCH BAKE OR BROIL BURNERS
OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN -
Bake and broiler burners may be hot even
though they do not look hot. Interior surfaces of
an oven become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after each use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact
bake or broiler burners or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the appliance can become
hot enough to cause burns - among these sur-
faces are oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven door, window of
oven door, and oven racks.
RANGETOP GREASE FIRE
Never use wafer on a grease fire - it will only spread the
flames. -
Never pick up a flaming pan.. . Instead:
1. If possible, turn off the burner.
2. Smother the fire with a tightly fitting pan lid, baking soda
or with a dry chemical or foam type extinguisher.
In case of grease fires:
YES!

A
CAUTION:
Due to the Nature of Cooking, Fires can
Occur as a Result of Overcooking, Exces-
sive Grease, or Component Failure. Though
a Fire is Unlikely, if One Occurs Proceed as
Follows:
SURFACE BURNER FIRES
1 l DO NOT turn on a range vent hood. The
flames could be drawn into the hood where
more damage could result.
2. Smother the fire with a n6n-flammable lid or
baking soda, or use a Class “ABC” or
“BC” extinguisher. Not water. Not salt. Not
flour.
3. As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the sur-
face burner controls to “OFF.”
OVEN FIRES
1. If you see smoke from your oven, do not
open the door.
2. Turn the oven controls to “OFF.”
3. As an added precaution, turn off the power
at the main circuit breaker or fuse box.
4. Turn on the range vent hood or exhaust fan,
if you have one, to remove smoke.
5. Allow food or grease to burn itself out in the
oven.
OF COURSE, IF SMOKE AND flRE PERSIST,
CALL THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SURFACE BURNER CONTROLS
The control panel is marked to show which of the four
burners each knob controls. These controls have distinct
click positions for setting the flame at High, Medium, or Low.
This instant flexibility is one of the reasons why good cooks
prefer gas. They know that temperatures must adjust exactly
and that instant changes are necessary for cooking
perfection.
The burner control knobs may also be turned to any posi-
tion in between the settings indicated to achieve the desired
flame settings.
Use the large burners for cooking large quantities of food
and the small burners for smaller quantities of food and sim-
mering. Make sure bottom of cookware is clean and dry
before placing it over the burner.
Covering cookware can improve cooking efficiency; less fuel
is needed and the kitchen stays cooler and cleaner. Also,
remember that boiling temperature is fixed by altitude. Food
will therefore not cook any faster when more than the
amount of heat needed to maintain a gentle boil is applied.
The water temperature is the same for a gentle or a vip
orous boil. A vigorous boil should be used only when a ret-
ipe specifically requires it, otherwise select a heat setting
which allows for a gentle boil for more efficient cooking.
Different utensils and different amounts of foods being pre-
pared will affect your choice of heat settings; however, expe-
rience will soon acquaint you with these characteristics. do
not cook without burner grates in place. Always cook with
burner grates installed properly
REMEMBER:
l Do not use aluminum foil or place foods
packaged in aluminum foil directly on the
rangetop for cooking.
l Do not put plastic, paper, or cloth items on
the rangetop. Such items can burn or melt
on contact with hot surfaces.
NOTE: Never allow a pot or pan to boil dry as this can dam-
age both the cookware and the rangetop.
When using woks with ring stands, be certain ring stand sits
securely on top of the burner grate. Use the ring which is
eight inches in diameter or less. Rings larger than this may
not sit securely on top of the burner grate. Flat bottomed
woks and stirfry pans work well on the gas burners and
eliminate the need for a ring stand.
Which pots and pans to use
For best results, energy conservation, and safety; always
use cookware which:
1. Is well balanced and sits well on grate.
2. Has a tight-fitting lid.
3. Is made of a material which conducts heat well.
You will find that your rangetop will serve you best if you
remember some of its special features when you start to
cook and follow the suggested steps listed below. They can
help you avoid unnecessary cleaning and provent over-
cooking.
Check to see that the range has been plugged into an elec-
trical outlet and the clock is set to the correct time of day
Before using the surface burner, follow these basic steps:
l Make sure burner grates are properly in place.
l Choose appropriate cookware with tight-fitting lids.
l Make sure bottoms of cookware are clean, dry and
smooth to absorb full heat output
l Center cookware on burner grate.
1 l To light the burner: Select the appropriate control knob,
push the control knob in and turn it fully to the left to the
“LITE” position. Listen for a “sparking” sound.
2. When the burner is lit, slowly turn the knob clockwisej
stopping occasionally to notice the infinite and precise
control you have over the flame height. This is perfect
temperature control - the secret of good cooking. Note
the height of the flame at each basic “click” position -
HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW
3. Reset the control knob to adjust flame height as neces-
sary for required changes in cooking. The flame should
be just high enough to maintain the cooking speed
desired. The flame should NEVER extend beyond the
bottom of the pan since it is not safe.
When using high flame, never leave the range unat-
tended. Fat is particularly hazardous since it can become
hot enough to ignite.
4. When cooking is completed and entire rangetop has
cooled, remove burner grates. Clean rangetop as
described on page 15.
Spills such as vinegar, lemon juice, tomato juice and
other acidic foods should be wiped up immediately when
cool enough to handle; they may leave a light stain if left
on a heated surface. Cleaning the rangetop frequently will
prevent burn-on of food, stains, and maintain the appear-
ance of the range.
NOTE: The surface burners light automatically by an elec-
tric ignitor - no matches are necessary, If a power outage
should occur, it is possible to use the surface burners, if
care is used. To light the burner, hold a lighted match at
the head of the burner (part projecting above the rangetop)
and turn the control knob to the left to the “LITE” position.
Once the burner is lit, adjust the flame to the height desired.
Never attempt to manually light the bake and broil
burners!
10

OVEN HINTS:
l Before oven is turned on and heats, check that oven racks
are correctly placed. Oven rack supports on opposite
sides of oven provide five rack positions for easy adjust-
ments to any baking or broiling operation.
l Oven racks can be pulled forward to the lock “stops” for
safe easy loading and unloading. Racks should have the
turned corners in rear.
l Use care when opening oven door - let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
l Do not let potholder contact hot oven burners in oven if
oven rack must be moved while oven is hot.
l Do not place anything directly on burners in the oven or
cover oven vent holes in the oven or door.
l Avoid frequent door openings. Use oven light and view
food through oven door window.
l For possible pie or casserole overflow, cut a piece of alu-
minum foil slightly larger than the utensil, turn up edges
and place on the rack below. Do not place aluminum foil
directly on the oven burners or cover entire rack since this
will prevent the oven from functioning properly
A
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to oven or uneven baking,
do not place aluminum foil on oven bottom,
on oven bake burner or cover entire oven
rack.
l To remove rack, pull out to lock “stop” position, then lift
up and out.
l To replace rack, place on selected rack supports with
turned up corners to the rear and push, lifting the front
edge slightly to slide past lock “stop.”
l The oven temperatures for baking range from 170°F to
550°F and can be programmed in 5OF increments.
A
CAUTION:
The oven burner cannot be used during a
power failure. Do not bake when there is a
power outage. It will not function.
TO SET OVEN FOR BAKE:
Follow these steps for normal baking. Always place oven
racks in position while oven is cool. Use the oven timer as
described on page 9, if desired.
For non-preheated baking:
Place food in oven before programming oven control.
For preheated baking:
Program oven control as described in Steps 1 and 2.
1. Push BAKE TEMP button once. (Time of day will remain

A
IMPORTANT:
Do not move the door lock lever to the
“Clean” position (far right) for normal bake
or broil operation. Moving the lever to the
right may cause the lock mechanism to lock
the door in the closed position at normal
bake temperature. If lever is in “Lock” posi-
tion “Door” will appear in display and oven
will not operate.
If the door lock lever is accidentally locked
and the oven door cannot be opened, turn
off the oven controls and wait until the oven
has cooled before attempting to move the
door lock lever.
Do not force the door lock lever as this may
cause permanent damage to the door lock.

BROILING
Broiling is a quick-cook method that is done with fast, sear-
ing heat. It produces meats that are browned or lightly
charred on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside,
Your oven is equipped with the Insta-Broil system. Follow
the suggested times given in the broiling chart until you
familiarize yourself with its operation.
Your oven is supplied with its own porcelain broiler pan and
broiler grid. YOU MUST ALWAYS USE THE BROILER PAN
AND GRID SUPPLIED WITH THE OVEN WHEN
BROILING.
BROILING TIPS
l Always use grid with broiler pan as it allows fat to drain
away from meat as it cooks. A small amount of water
(about % to 1 cup) placed in the broiler pan (under the
__, ,
grid) also helps to reduce spattering and smoking.
. . . . _ . . .i..,.‘. -r-,-e;
l Always start broiling on a cold broiler grid to ensure even
..Y... __ -.
broiling. (Do not preheat broiler pan.)
_-_ ~I
l Do not pierce meat with a knife or fork. This allows the
_
iuices to escape.
l l ?rim the outer’ layer of fat from steaks and chops and slit
fatty edges to prevent the meat from curling.
l Broil food on one side, then season and turn it. Season
the second side just before you remove it from the broiler.
Do not season meats with salt before broiling. Salt wilt
draw juices from the meat.
13

l Brush food with butter or margarine, if desired. Brush top
of chicken or fish several times as it broils. Spray broiler
grid with non-stick cooking oil spray to help prevent stick-
ing of fish and poultry. Do not grease a hot grid. Thin fish
fillets may not require turning, and fish should always be
broiled skin side down.
l Always broil poultry skin side down first, and split and
break joints so the meat will lie as flat as possible.
l If putting barbeque or other sauces on the food, do so
in the last 5 minutes of broiling to prevent burning.
l Always remove the broiler pan and grid from the oven
after broiling is complete. Never leave the pan and grid in
a hot oven. Rinsing or soaking the grid and pan while they
are still warm will make cleanup much easier.
RACK POSITIONS
The Insta-Broil system uses infrared rays to help cook the
food. Because these rays can travel only in straight lines,
the effective cooking area of the broiler is reduced when you
use the higher rack positions. At high rack positions, the
rays cannot reach all corners of the broiler grid, so larger
pieces of meat might not broil sufficiently at the outer edges.

Rack
Positions
The proper distance from the broil burner is determined
by the degree of “doneness” desired, the amount of food
being broiled and the overall broiling time. In general, meats
are placed closer to the broiler and broiled for shorter
periods of time for rare to medium doneness. For medium-
well to well-done meats, the rack position is lowered and
slightly longer broiling times are used. Remember, the
closer the meat is to the broiler, the more charred the
exterior of the meat will be.
Refer to the Broil Chart for suggestions on rack positions
and broiling times. Preheating the broiler is not usually nec-
essary The time and rack positions in the Broil Chart on
page 15 are guidelines for standard broiling performance. If
a more rare interior with a more charred exterior is desired
for beef steaks, you can move the food to a higher rack
position.
A
CAUTION:
To avoid the risk of fire, never place foil over
the broiler grid. To minimize clean-ups, the
broiler pan may be lined with foil, but foil
should NEVER be placed to cover top of the
grid during broiling; it will trap grease near
the broiler element and may cause it to
smoke or catch fire.
l Center broiler pan under the broiler on oven rack. Use
minute timer for convenience in timing.
* Check to see that the oven vent is not covered. Do not
set or store items in front of the oven vent on top of range.
l If you have a vent hood, turn it on during broiling if
desired.
A
WARNING:
The broiler burner cannot be used during a
power failure. Do not broil when there is a
power outage, It will not operate. ’
A
CAUTION:
. eqyi;‘; ,,
To avoid the risk of fire, never leave range
unattended while broiling.
.
Position broiler pan with short sides parallel to the back
of the oven so that it is directly lined up under the broiler
burner.
A
CAUTION:
To avoid the risk of fire, personal injury or
property damage, use the broiler grid bnly
in the proper position as shown above. If it
is put in upside down, grease will collect in
the rim and could be hazardous. Do not use
abrasive cleansers to clean the broiler pan
or grid, these may scratch the finish.
TO SET OVEN FOR BROIL:
1. Slide oven rack into correct position. (Other rack
should not be between the rack you are using and
the oven broiler.)
2. Center food on the broiler grid and set broiler pan on
oven rack so that it is centered underneath broiler.
3. Close oven door.
4. Press BROIL button once. Time of day will remain in
display. Turn TIME/TEMP knob to “HI”.

Use the chart suggestions below for approximate broil
times. Use the minute timer to assist you when bmiling.
Never leave broiler unattended.
Use care when placing or removing broiler pan from oven
since the broiler is very hot. Fatty meats and pot holders
too close to the broiler flame can ignite.
BROIL CHART
2. Once broiler is preheated, center broiler pan under the
broil element on the suggested rack. Close oven door.
3. Use minute timer; if desired, as instructed on page 9.
4. Press SETCANCEL button once to turn oven off when
broiling is completed or if a programming ermr has been
made. Remove broiler pan from oven.. . if pan and grid
are left in heated oven they will be mOre difficult to clean.
See page 20 for further instructions on cleaning broiler
pan and grid.
The following chart contains suggestions for broiling foods on the hi setting. Times are approximate since factors such as food thick-
ness and initial food temperature affect length of broiling. Be sure to center food and broiler pan underneath broiler for even heating.
Watch broiling carefully to prevent overcooking.

DAILY CARE:
After the rangetop has cooled, remove grease and moisture
deposits before using the rangetop again. This will help to
prevent soil build-up. Wipe rangetop with a sponge or cloth
dampened with soap and water. Rinse and dry.
To clean the burner grates and burner caps, remove by lift-
ing off. Wash with mild detergent or cleanser such as Soft
Scrub@ (original, non-bleach formula) and nonabrasive plas-
tic scouring pad such as a Tuv plastic mesh ball or
Dobie@ cleaning pad. Always rinse well and dry thoroughly
with soft cloth before replacing.
Avoid abrasive cleansers and abrasive pads such as
ScotchBrite@ scour pads that may scratch any of the
rangetop surfaces depending on their abrasiveness and
the cleaning pressure applied in use.
NOTE: To prevent the possibil*&y of stains (especially caused
by acidic foods such as vinegar, sour milk, lemon juice,
marinades and sauces with tomatoes) immediately wipe up
spills with a dry cloth. Acids can stain even the most stain-
resistant materials and finishes if left on a heated surface.
When the surface is cool, wash thoroughly with warm soapy
water.
Always clean the burner caps after a spill-over. Keeping the
burner caps clean will prevent improper ignition and an
uneven flame.
Wipe the burner grates and caps following each use with
warm soapy water to remove spillover deposits and grease
splatters before they get a chance to harden on the surface.
This will help prevent more “involved” cleaning later on. If
that should become necessary, follow these instructions.
I. Burned-on soil can be cleaned off by soaking the burner
caps in warm soapy water and a dishwashing liquid
such as “Dove” or “Lux.” A dishcloth or non-abrasive
pad such as a Dobie@ cleaning pad can be used to rub
the burner caps after soaking. If stains still remain:
Immerse the burner caps in a hot solution of 2 table-
spoons of “Dip It” per quart of boiling water Soak for 20
minutes (be sure the liquid covers the caps.) Remove
burner caps, cool slightly and rinse thoroughly with cold
water. Be sure solution is completely rinsed off both
sides of the burner caps. Dry thoroughly with soft cloth.
Be sure the burner caps are dry, as water lodged in the
burner parts may cause an uneven flame, or interfere
with automatic lighting.
2. If poor top burner ignition is experienced, it may be due to
blocked ignitor slot. When cleaning the burners, pay par-
ticular attention to cleaning the small slot by the igniter.
(See Figure 1.) If the slot becomes soiled or clogged, use
a cotton swab or a soft cloth to clean the area. For
cooked-on soil, use a medium- to stiff-bristle toothbrush.
Do not use hard or sharp objects to clean ignitor slot. Do
not use cleaning solutions. Remember, do not change the
size or shape of this part, or ignition may be affected.
Clean ports using same instructions as ignitor slot.
The ignitor slot should remain clean as long as burner
cap is sealed properly on burner. Occasionally check
burner cap to make sure it is level and covers burner
completely.
Gas must flow freely through the ignitor slot for the
burner to light properly This area must be free of any
soil and be kept protected from boil-avers and spill-
overs. ALWAYS keep the burner caps in place whenever
a surface burner is in use.
3. To replace the burner caps, position them centrally over
the burner body Make sure that the locating pegs fit into
the recess in the underside of the caps. The caps must
be correctly seated on the burner body for proper opera-
tion of the burner. (See Figure 2.)
The bottom areas of the burner grates (and caps) are not
covered by porcelain enamel and therefore should be dried
thoroughly to prevent rusting. Also, due to the glass-like
nature of enamel, there may sometimes be chipping at the
prong area; however, this does not affect the performance
of the range.

To clean the control knobs, gently pull them straight off.
Wash the face of the knobs using a soft cloth dampened
with mild detergent. For tougher soils, use a soft toothbrush.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads as these
can cause scratching. For greasy spatters, use a grease-
dissolving cleaner such as Dawn@ Dishwashing Detergent.
Rinse well and dry thoroughly before replacing knobs.
For care and cleaning instructions of control panel and other
range parts, see page 20.
Remember:
Do not use harsh abrasives, chemicals or any of the
commercial chemical-type oven cleaners on the
interior or exterior of the range.
16

During the self-cleaning cycle, extremely high temperatures
are generated inside the oven that cause food spills and
spatters to decompose into tiny particles of ash that are eas-
ily wiped away with a damp cloth. Cleaning can begin and
end whenever you choose - even when you are away from
home or at night.
BEFORE OPERATING SELF-CLEANING CYCLE:
1. Remove all articles from oven.
Remove all pots, pans, broiler pans and anything else
that may be stored in the oven.
Remove oven racks. If the oven racks are left in the
oven during self-cleaning, they will permanently discolor
and may warp. Therefore, it is recommended that oven
racks be removed during cleaning cycle.
Do not obstruct the oven vent located toward back of
rangetop.
2. Wipe up large spillovers and excessive grease.
Wipe excessive grease and spillovers from bottom of
oven. Heavy spillovers that can be readily wiped up
should be removed from the oven before the cleaning
cycle is started. These thick spillovers keep the cleaning
heat from reaching the bottom of the spillover and could
leave small dark uncleaned spots. Removing the heavy
spillovers also helps eliminate excessive smoking dur-
ing the self-cleaning cycle. The lower (bake) burner
cover lifts out to make cleaning spillovers easier.
Although the oven bottom is cleaned during the self-
clean cycle, it’s best to clean up heavy spills as they
OCCUT. To remove lower burner cover, grasp cover on
each side near the front. Tilt front upward and pull cover
toward you. Clean spills, rinse and dry cover thoroughly.
To replace cover, insert the two tabs at the rear of the
cover into the two slots behind burner area. Lower front
of cover down until it is secured in place. Always replace
cover before baking, broiling or self-cleaning oven.
3. Wipe soil from oven frame and oven door sur-
rounding gasket while the oven is cool.
The oven front frame and the edge of the oven door that
is outside the door seal will not be cleaned by the heat.
Do not scrub or clean oven door gasket (D). Clean spat-
ters or spills on oven front frame (A) and oven door sur-
rounding the gasket (B) using a cloth dampened with
dish soap and hot water. Also clean the mouth of the
oven cavity which is the area up to 2 inches inside the
door frame. It’s easiest to clean these areas before the
self-clean cycle. Use soap and hot water or a non-
scratch scouring pad, and rinse well being careful not to
allow water to run into vent openings in top of door (C)
(See diagram at right). Never use a commercial oven
cleaner on or around the self-clean oven. Be careful not
to wet down or damage the door gasket in any way
Wipe these surfaces even though they may not appear
dirty The reason is that heat will cause sometimes
unnoticeable soil and spatters to bake on and they wifl
be more difficult to remove after the self-clean cycle.

IMPORTANT: Do not clean the broiler pan, broiler grid
or cooking utensils in the self-clean cycle. Heavy grease
buildup on these items can produce smoke and fumes
which can be discharged into the kitchen. Also, high clean-
ing temperatures can cause damage to cooking utensils.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or harsh abrasives on
the self-cleaning oven since this could damage the porce-
lain finish. All surfaces can be washed safely with soap and
hot water. This can be done to minimize over-all cleaning. To
retain the original appearance, rinse and wipe the surfaces
dry after washing.

CAUTION:
To Avoid Damaae to the Oven:
. + .T . .
Do not use chebical oven cleaners in the
oven. If cleaners are not entirely removed
(they are not always visible), they may have
a reaction with oven interior at the high tem-
perature of the self-clean cycle, causing

etching of oven interior.
OVEN SELF-CLEANING HINTS:
l A convenient time to self-clean the oven is in the evening
when normal oven use is completed.
l It is normal to notice a slight amount of smoke escaping
around upper part of door during self-cleaning when soil
is heavy Excessive smoke may indicate excessive spill-
avers have not been wiped up or there may be a faulty
gasket which should be checked by an authorized service
person.

9P
- which means something different to every cook!
The self-clean cycle is preprogrammed for 3 hours which
cleans normal soil in your oven. If your oven is excessively
dirty, make sure large spills are wiped up. If the oven is not
clean after one cycle, repeat cleaning cycle.
l Make sure oven light is off before setting oven for self-
cleaning. Also, never self-clean oven if glass light cover
is removed or broken.
l Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the self-clean

To avoid the risk of burns, do not touch
areas albove the oven door and around the
oven vent (cover vent is located in center of
backsplash). These areas become hot
enough to cause burns during the self-clean
cycle. Do not store or set items in front of
oven vent since this area can become
extremelv warm.
TO SET THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE TO
START NOW:
Make sure you have read and followed the instructions
outlined in the previous section “Before Operating Self-
Clean Cycle.” Check to see that the clock is set at the cor-
rect time of day (see page 9).
1. Slide the Door Lock Lever to the right as shown below.
The lever must be all the way to the right for self-cleaning
to take place. If it is not “DOOR” will appear in display,

The cleaning time in the display will count down. Press the
STOP TIME button to see the time of day when clean cycle
will be finished, then press CLEAN button to return display
to show remaining clean time.
TO SET THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE TO
START LATER:
1. Check to see that oven clock is set correctly (see page 9)
and the steps for preparing the oven prior to self-cleaning
have been followed.
2. Slide the Door Lock Lever to the right as shown at left.
The lever must be all the way to the right for self-cleaning
to take place.
3. Push CLEAN button once.
4. Immediately push STOP TIME button once. Then imme-
diately turn TIME/TEMP SET knob clockwise to the time
of day when you want the self-clean cycle to be finished
(this time must be at least 3 hours past the current time
of day). The oven control will automatically calculate the
time of day the self-clean cycle will start.
For example, if the current time of day is 4:00 p.m. and
you want to set the self-clean cycle to be finished at 9:00
p.m., set the stop time for 9:O0. The oven will automat-
ically turn on at 6:00 p.m. and then turn off at 9:00 p.m.
The oven is now set for a delayed start. “DELAY CLEAN”
and “STOP TIME” will appear in display The oven will not
turn on until the clock reaches the calculated start time. The
“ON” will appear in the display when the self-clean cycle
starts.
NOTE: Since this is a twelve-hour clock, the maximum
amount of time you can program for delay is 12 hours.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING SELF-CLEAN
CYCLE:
Once the oven has been programmed to start self-cleaning
or when the calculated start time for a delayed self-clean
cycle has been reached, the oven ON indicator light will turn
on indicating that the oven is in operation. As soon as you
finish programming, the control lock will light in the display,
the LOCK indicator light will come on and the door lock
lever will not be able to be moved. This is a safety measure
which prevents the oven door from being opened under
high temperature conditions.
l The temperature will continue to rise to about 9OOOF
where it will stay for the remainder of the cleaning time.
(Note: The first few times the self-cleaning system is
used, there may be minor smoking and a slight odor as
the oven insulation “cures.” This will disappear after the
first few cleaning cycles.)
9 The oven vent exhausts vapor and warm air during self-
cleaning cycle. It should always be left unobstructed.
. You may notice some wisps of smoke from around the
door or oven vent at the beginning of the cleaning cycle.
The vapor and smoke generated during the self-cleaning
cycle is catalytically cleaned before being discharged into
the room.

TO INTERRUPT OR CANCEL
SELF-CLEAN CYCLE:
1. Push SET/CANCEL button once. This cancels all pro-
gramming functions.
2. Display will return to time of day. Allow oven to cool. If
oven is still hot, the door will remain locked (as indicated
by “LOCK” in display) until the oven has cooled to a safe
temperature. When the oven has cooled for approx-
imately 1 houF the oven door can be unlocked and
opened, allowing warm air to escape.
Never force the door lock lever. Wait until it moves easily

1. Slide door lock lever to the left. Open oven door carefully.
Leave door ajar to finish cooling oven.
2. When oven has cooled completely, remove any ash from
bottom of oven with a damp paper towel. If small, dark
burned-on spots remain inside the door or in the oven
they may require some manual cleaning.
3. Remove any baked-on soil from around oven door and
oven frame with damp cloth and cleanser.
4. If oven racks do not slide easily, very lightly wipe the
sides of the racks with a small amount of vegetable oil
after the cleaning cycle is completed. This helps the
racks to slide more easily and avoids damaging the por-
celain oven interior. Do not put too much oil on the rack
sides since this can soil the sides of the oven cavity
