Installation
(Continued next page)
Installation information is for reference only. See the
Installation Instructions shipped with the product
for complete details and before attempting to install
the range.
Power Supply
This appliance features pilotless electronic ignition
for energy savings and reliability. It must be
supplied with 120V 60 Hertz, properly grounded
dedicated circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp
circuit breaker or time delay fuse as noted on the
rating plate.
Wiring must conform to the National Electrical
Codes.
Grounding Specifications
Ground Path Resistance 0.10ΩMax.
Insulation Resistance 250KΩMin.
Gas Supply
This range is designed to operate at a pressure
of 5 inches of water column on natural gas or, if
designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10 inches
of water column.
Make sure you are supplying this range with the
type of gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or
propane gas. If you are installing this range for use
with 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 5 inches
and 13 inches of water column. For LP gas, the
pressure supplied must be between 10 inches and
13 inches of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the
regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1-inch
greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as
given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the
range manifold must remain in the supply line
regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being
used.
Minimum Clearances
A flexible metal appliance connector used to
connect the range to the gas supply line should
have an I.D. of 1/2 in. 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.

Control Features
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it to
the LITE position.
You will hear a clicking noise—the sound
of the electric spark igniting the burner.
After the flame lights, 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.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to the LITE position.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
■Make sure all grates on the range are in
place before using any burner.
■If your range has the Range Lock-Out
feature, make sure it is disabled before
attempting to light the surface burners.
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 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.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has four sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience,
cleanability and flexibility to be used in
a wide range of cooking applications.
The smallest burner in the right rear
position is the simmer burner. This burner
can be turned to LO for a very low simmer
setting. It provides precise cooking
performance for delicate foods such
as sauces or foods that require low heat
for a long cooking time.
The medium (left rear) and the large
(left front) burners are the primary
burners for most cooking. These general-
purpose burners can be turned from HI to
LO to suit a wide range of cooking needs.
The extra large burner (right front) is
the maximum output burner. Like the
other three burners, it can be turned
from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking
applications; however, this burner is
designed to quickly bring large amounts
of liquid to a boil. It has a special POWER
BOIL™setting designed to be used with
cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter.

If you would like to check the times you have set,
touch the DELAY START pad to check the start time
you have set, or touch the COOKING TIME pad to
check the length of cooking time you have set.
Touch the START pad.
NOTE: An attention tone will sound if you are
using timed baking or roasting and do not touch
the START pad after entering the baking or
roasting temperature.
When the oven turns on at the time
of day you have set, the display will
show the changing temperature
(starting at 100°F [38°C]) and the
cooking time. The display starts changing
once the temperature reaches 100°F
(38°C).
The oven will continue to cook for the
programmed amount of time, then shut
off automatically, unless the WARM
feature was set. See the How to Set the Oven
for Warming section.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad to clear
the display if necessary. Remove
the food from the oven. Remember,
even though the oven shuts off
automatically, food left in the oven
will continue cooking after the oven
turns off.
OR
NOTE: When convection baking, the oven temperature will be 25°F (14°C) lower than
the set temperature. See Auto Recipe™Conversion in the Special Features section for more
information. When convection roasting, oven temperature will not auto convert.

How to Set the Oven for Convection Roasting when Using the Probe
The display will flash PROBE and the
oven control will signal if the probe is
inserted into the outlet, and you have not
set a probe temperature and pressed the
START pad.
Place the oven rack in the position
that centers the food between the
top and bottom of the oven. Insert
the probe into the meat.
Plug the probe into the outlet in the
oven. Make sure it is pushed all the
way in. Close the oven door.
Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
Touch the PROBE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired internal meat temperature.
Touch the START pad.
When the oven starts to heat, the word
LO will be in the display.
After the internal temperature of the meat
reaches 100°F (38°C), the changing internal
temperature will be shown in the display.
When the internal temperature of
the meat reaches the number you
have set, the probe and the oven
turn off and the oven control
signals. To stop the signal, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad. Use hot pads to
remove the probe from the food.
Do not use tongs to pull on it—they
might damage it.
CAUTION: To prevent possible burns,
do not unplug the probe from the oven outlet until
the oven has cooled. Do not store the probe in
the oven.
NOTE:
■If the probe is removed from the food before
the final temperature is reached, a tone will
sound and the display will flash until the probe
is removed from the oven.
■You will hear a fan while cooking with this
feature. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.
■You can use the kitchen timer even though you
cannot use timed oven operations.
For best results when roasting large
turkeys and roasts, we recommend
using the probe included in the
convection oven.

The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products.
How to Set the Oven For Proofing
Place the covered dough in a dish in
the oven on rack B or C.
NOTE: For best results, cover the dough with a
cloth or with greased plastic wrap (the plastic
may need to be anchored underneath the
container so the oven fan will not blow it off).
Touch the PROOF pad and then the
START pad.
The display will read PrF (proof).
The oven interior light turns on and
remains on during proofing.
The proofing feature automatically
provides the optimum temperature for
the proofing process, and therefore does
not have a temperature adjustment.
Set the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF for
the minimum proof time.
When proofing is finished, touch
the CLEAR/OFF pad.
■To avoid lowering the oven temperature
and lengthening proofing time, do not
open the oven door unnecessarily.
■Check bread products early to avoid
over-proofing.
NOTE:
■Do not use the proofing mode for warming
food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven
temperature is not hot enough to hold foods
at safe temperatures. Use the WARM feature
to keep food warm.
■Proofing will not operate when oven is above
125°F (52°C). “HOT” will show in the display.
How to Set the Oven For Warming
The WARM feature keeps cooked
foods hot.
This feature is not designed to reheat
cold food.
To use the WARM feature, touch the
WARM pad and then the START pad.
To use the WARM feature after Timed
Baking or Roasting, follow these steps:
Touch the mode of cooking that
you want to use (BAKE, CONVECTION
BAKE MULTI/1 RACK or CONVECTION
ROAST).
Touch the number pads to set the
oven temperature.
Touch the COOKING TIME pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired length of cooking time.
Touch the WARM pad.
Touch the START pad.
To Crisp Stale Items
■Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.
■For best results, place the food items in
a single layer. Do not stack.
■Leave them uncovered.
■Check crispness after 20–30 minutes.
Add time as needed.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
■Food should be kept hot in its cooking
container or transferred to a heat-safe
serving dish.
■For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe
lid or aluminum foil.
■Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered,
but can become too dry if warmed for too long.
■Repeated opening of the door allows the hot
air to escape and the food to cool.
■Allow extra time for the temperature inside the
oven to stabilize after adding items.
■With large loads it may be necessary to cover
some of the cooked food items.
■Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
containers in the oven.
■Do not use plastic containers, lids or plastic
wrap.
CAUTION:Plastic containers, lids
or plastic wrap will melt if placed in the oven.
Melted plastic may not be removable and is not
covered under your warranty.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your 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 degrees F (11–22 degrees C).
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking, convection baking (on some models) and convection roasting
(on some models) temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be
retained in memory after a power failure.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the BROIL HI/LO and BAKE
pads at the same time for 3 seconds
until the display shows SF.
Touch the BAKE pad. A two-digit
number shows in the display.
Touch BAKE again to alternate
between increasing and decreasing
the oven temperature.
The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 35ºF (19°C)
hotter or (-) 35ºF (19°C) cooler.
Touch the number pads the same
way you read them. For example, to
change the oven temperature 15ºF
(8°C), touch 1and 5.
When you have made the
adjustment, touch the START pad to
go back to the time of day display.
Use your oven as you would
normally.
