Using the griddle.
Using the griddle.
How to Place the Griddle
The non-stick coated griddle provides an extra-large
cooking surface for meats, pancakes or other food
usually prepared in a frying pan or skillet.
Note: The griddle will discolor over time as it becomes
seasoned with use.
Caution: Place and remove the griddle only when the
griddle is cool and all surface units are turned off.
IMPORTANT: Always place and use your griddle on the
left surface units only.
Note: Do not clean the griddle in the self-cleaning oven.
Most griddled foods require cooking on a preheated
surface. Preheat griddle then switch to the desired cook
setting.
To turn on the surface units for the entire griddle, turn the
knob clockwise.
To turn on the surface unit for the back half of the
griddle, turn the knob counterclockwise.
Caution: The entire griddle will still become hot.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods and be careful of
grease spillover while cooking.
Never place or store any items on the griddle, even when
it is not in use. The griddle can become heated when
using the surrounding surface units.
Care and cleaning of the griddle.
Care and cleaning of the griddle.
Cast Iron Griddle Re-Seasoning the Cast Iron Griddle
Rinse with hot water (do not use soap), and dry
thoroughly.
Before cooking, prepare the surface with cooking spray
or vegetable oil.
After cooking, clean the griddle with a stiff brush and
hot water. Using soap is not recommended, and harsh
detergents should never be used.
Towel dry immediately and apply a light coat of cooking
spray or vegetable oil while the griddle is still warm.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Do not wash in a dishwasher.
Griddle Precautions:
If something has spilled under the griddle, it should•
be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked
on” food soil. Do not allow grease to accumulate
under the griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean
under the griddle as soon as it is cool.
Do not place the griddle in the microwave.•
Always turn off all surface units before removing the•
griddle. Use caution when handling a hot griddle.
Seasoning is the process of vegetable oil absorbing
into the pores of the iron griddle. The griddle was
seasoned during manufacture. If food sticks to the
surface, or you notice a dull, gray color, the griddle
will need to be re-seasoned.
Wash the griddle with hot, soapy water and a stiff
brush. (It is okay to use soap this time because you
are preparing to re-season the griddle).
Rinse and dry completely.
Apply a thin, even coating of MELTED solid
vegetable shortening (or cooking oil of your choice)
to the griddle (top, sides, and bottom).
Place aluminum foil on the bottom rack of the oven
to catch any dripping.
Set oven temperature to 350 – 400 degrees F.
Place griddle upside down on the top rack of the
oven.
Bake the griddle for at least one hour. After the
hour, turn the oven off and let the griddle cool in the
oven.
Store the griddle uncovered, in a cool, dry place
when cooled.

Lower Oven Operation
Note: The lower oven cannot be used during a self-clean cycle of the upper oven.
The lower oven operates in the following manner:
When the lower oven control is turned counterclockwise,
The control contacts• COM to NO close supplying L1 to the baking elements, pilot lamp and heating lamp.
The pilot lamp will be lit because neutral is not interrupted.•
The control cycling contacts• N to H close supplying Neutral to the baking elements and heating lamp.
Note: When the control is turned counterclockwise, both elements are at L1 potential regardless of the status
of contacts N to H. Neutral is cycled to control oven temperatures.

Griddle Operation
The griddle, placed over the left side surface
elements, can be heated using the rear element
only or both the front and rear elements at the
same time. Two relays are used to allow only the left
rear infinite heat switch to operate both front and
rear elements.
When the left rear control is turned clockwise to
select griddle:
P2 closes to 4, supplying L1 voltage to the left•
rear element.
P2 closes to S2, supplying L1 voltage to the left•
surface indicator light.
P2 closes to 4a, supplying L1 voltage to the•
griddle ON indicator light, relay 1 and relay 2.
Relay 2 (now operating on 120VAC) disconnects•
L1 voltage from the left front control.
Range Lockout Relay
The range lockout feature (on some models), allows
the user to lockout the surface units, upper oven,
and control panel so they cannot be activated.
When the control is set for RANGE LOCKOUT,the
control deactivates the upper oven and control
panel and energizes the lockout relay that locks out
the surface units so they cannot be activated. (See
Control Features.)
The control RY3 relay will close and complete the
circuit that supplies the voltage to the lockout relay.
The relay is also energized when the oven door is
locked (COM to NO closed). When energized, the
lockout relay will open contacts 7 to 1 and 9 to 3,
disconnecting L2 from the surface units.
Relay 1 (now operating on 240VAC) simultaneously:
Disconnects the left front control element•
cycling contacts, P1 to 2, and connects both left
front elements directly to L2.
Connects L1 voltage directly to both left front•
elements.
Contacts P1 to 2, on the left rear control, now cycle
L2 voltage to both the left rear element and to relay
1, which now operates both left front elements.
Note: With the griddle turned off and the left rear
hot surface light on (glass temperature above
150°F), 27 VAC will be applied to relay 2 and 97 VAC
will be applied to relay 1. During this time, both
relays may produce a slight hum/vibration. Neither
relay will be operating. The hum/vibration will cease
once the hot light switch contacts 1b to 2b open.

Convection Fan Assembly
The convection fan assembly is located on the
back wall of the oven cavity and consists of the
convection cover, fan blade, and motor. The fan
motor utilizes a capacitor that can be accessed
from the back of the range. (See Component Locator
Views.) The convection fan blade can be removed
from inside the oven. The convection fan motor can
be removed from the back of the range.
The convection fan operates during the following
modes:
Preheat•
Convection Bake•
Convection Roast•
The convection fan will turn on after a short delay.
The fan may cycle on and off, and change direction
in any of these modes, to best distribute hot air in
the oven. The convection fan shuts off when the
door is opened.
The convection element is located on the upper
oven back wall and can be removed from inside the
oven cavity.
The element is rated at 1200 watts, has an
approximate resistance value of 12 Ω, and draws
approximately 10 amps.
OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
Convection Bake - Single Rack preheats with
bake element and broil element operating (cycling)
alternately. Heat maintained with bake element.
Fan alternates CW and CCW rotation.
Red box indicates cycling contacts
Preheat
Cooling Blower
The two-speed cooling blower is located on the rear
of the range. Air is pulled in by the blower blades
through slots below the control panel and circulated
in the space below the component compartment
and above the top of the oven liner. The air is
exhausted through the right side of the oven vent
trim.
Low speed is used for cooking functions and high
speed is used only in the self-clean mode. The
blower is operated by the ERC (a function of oven
temperature), when cooling timing parameters are
met. Blower speed is determined by the position of
door latch switch #3. (See Door Lock Assembly.)
Cooling Timing Parameters
The cooling blower will not turn on immediately
when a cooking function is set. IT WILL TURN
ON WHEN THE OVEN TEMPERATURE REACHES
APPROXIMATELY 450°F. If the oven is turned off and
the blower is running, the blower will remain on until
the oven temperature drops to below 300°F.
Cooling blower motor approximate resistance
values:
Low speed (C to L) = 20• Ω
High Speed (C to H) = 24• Ω
To remove the cooling blower, it is necessary to
remove the rangetop (See Rangetop.), and rear
panel. The cooling blower assembly is attached with
six 1/4-in. hex-head screws.

Thermal Switch
The thermal switch is located under the rangetop
on the burner box floor and protects the electronics
from damage should a high temperature condition
occur when the range is in the self-clean mode.
The thermal switch is wired in series with the lock
motor switches. The thermal switch opens at 265°F.
The switch closes when temperatures cool below
approximately 220°F. If the thermal switch opens
during the following conditions:
Oven Temperature Below 600°F (315°C).•
Program is cancelled when thermal switch
opens. Lock motor will run and the word
LOCKED will be flashing in the display.
Oven Temperature Above 600°F (315°C). Any•
mode of operation control will go to -F2- failure
code. When this condition exists, check the
fan operation (look for obstructions), inspect
oven installation (make sure grill areas are not
blocked), oven insulation, and lock circuit.
