Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you
may not need to call for service.
Problem | Possible Cause | What To Do |
---|
My new oven doesn’t cook like my old one. Is something wrong with the
temperature settings?| Your new oven has a different cooking system from
your old oven and therefore may cook differently than your old oven.| For the
first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully and use
rack positions recommended in the Cooking Guide. If you still think your new
oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet
your specific cooking preference. See the Oven Controls section.
Food does not bake properly| Oven controls improperly set.| See the
Cooking Modes section.
Rack position is incorrect or rack is not level.| See the Cooking Modes
section and Cooking Guide.
Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper size being used.| See the Cookware
section.
Oven temperature needs adjustment.| See the Oven Controls section.
Food does not broil properly| Oven controls improperly set.| Make sure
you select the appropriate broil mode.
Improper rack position being used.| See Cooking Guide for rack location
suggestions.
Cookware not suited for broiling.| Use a pan specifically designed for
broiling.
Aluminum foil on the broil pan has not been fitted properly or slit to drain
grease.| If using aluminum foil on broil pan, wrap tightly and add slits
conforming to those in the pan to allow grease to drain.
Oven temperature too hot or too cold| Oven temperature needs
adjustment.| See the Oven Controls section.
Oven appears not to work| A fuse in your home may be blown or the
circuit breaker tripped.| Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Oven controls improperly set.| See the Using the Oven section.
“Crackling” or “popping” sound| This is the sound of the metal heating
and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.| This is normal.
Why is my range making a “clicking” noise when using my oven?| Your
range has been designed to maintain a tighter control over your oven’s
temperature. You may hear your oven’s heating elements “click” on and off more
frequently than in older ovens to achieve better results during baking,
broiling, and self-clean cycles.| This is normal.
Clock and timer do not work| A fuse in your home may be blown or the
circuit breaker tripped.| Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Sometimes the oven takes longer to preheat to the same temperature|
Cookware, food, and/or number of racks in oven.| Cookware, food, and racks in
the oven will cause differences in preheat times. Remove excess items to
reduce preheat time.
Oven light does not work| Light bulb is loose or defective.|
Tighten or replace bulb. See the Maintenance section for instructions on how
to replace the bulb.
Oven will not self-clean| The temperature is too high to set a self-
clean operation.| Allow the oven to cool and reset the controls.
Oven controls improperly set.| See the Care and Cleaning section.
Excessive smoking during clean cycle| Excessive soil or grease.|
Turn the Oven Temperature Knob to OFF. Wait until the Oven cools below the
unlocking temperature.
Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wipe up the excess soil and reset
the clean cycle.
Oven appears not to work| Oven is in Sabbath Mode.| Verify,
that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode. See the Sabbath Mode section.
Problem| Possible Cause| What To Do
---|---|---
Oven not clean after a clean cycle| Oven controls
improperly set.| See the Care and Cleaning section.
Oven was heavily soiled.| Clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean
cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean again.
Strong “burning” or “oily” odor emitting from the vent| This is normal
in a new oven and will disappear in time.| To speed the process, set a self-
clean cycle. See the Care and Cleaning section. This is temporary.
Excessive smoking during broiling| Food too close to burner
element.| Lower the rack position of the food.
Oven door will not open when you want to
cook.| The oven door is locked because the temperature inside the oven
has not dropped below the locking temperature.| Allow the oven to cool below
the locking temperature.
Burners do not light| Battery is weak/dead (cordless range).| Replace
battery (see Replacing the V Battery).
Plug on range is not completely inserted in the electrical outlet.| Make sure
electrical plug is plugged into a live, properly grounded outlet.
Gas supply not connected or turned on.| See the Installation Instructions that
came with your range.
A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped.| Replace the
fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Burner parts not replaced correctly.| See the Care and Cleaning of the range
section.
Burner slots near the electrode, or the round lighter port on the oval burner,
may be clogged.| Remove the burners and clean them. Check the electrode area
for burned-on food or grease. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
Food residue on electrode| Lightly polish flat tip of electrode with nail file
or sandpaper until shiny.
Top burners do not burn evenly| Improper burner
assembly.| Make sure the burner caps are seated correctly. See the Care and
Cleaning of the range section.
Burner slots on the side of the burner may be clogged.| Remove the burners for
cleaning. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
Burner flames are very large or yellow| Improper air to gas ratio.| If
range is connected to Propane gas, contact the technician who installed your
range or made the conversion.
Surface burners light but bake and broil burners do not.| Gas to the
oven burners may have been shut off.| The oven gas shut-off is located on the
gas regulator near the gas line attachment to your range. Locate it and flip
the lever.
My oven door glass appears to be “tinted” or have a “rainbow” color.|
The inner oven glass is coated with a heat barrier to reflect the heat back
into the oven to prevent heat loss and keep the outer door cool while baking.|
This is normal. Under certain light or angles, you may see this tint or
rainbow color.
Drawer does not slide smoothly or drags| The drawer is
out of alignment.| Fully extend the drawer and push it all the way in. See the
Care and Cleaning of the range section.
Drawer is over-loaded or load is unbalanced.| Reduce weight or redistribute
drawer contents.

-
Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance
CAUTION
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above an oven –
children climbing on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.
-
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlets and outlets that are necessary for the range to operate properly with
correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the warming drawer, lower oven drawer or kick panel. -
Use only dry pot holders–moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch surface burners, burner grate, or oven heating element. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders
-
Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the burners, grates, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, and crevices around the oven door. -
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
-
Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations can be found at IsiDoneYet.gov and fsis.usda.gov. Use a food thermometer to take food temperatures and check several locations.
-
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range or tip it over causing severe injury or death.
WARNING
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.
- Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.

- Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
- If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical o foam-type fire extinguisher.
- If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self- clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
NEVER Operate the Top Surface Cooking Section of this Appliance Unattended.
- Failure to follow this warning statement could result in fire, explosion, or burn hazard that could cause property damage, personal injury, or death.
- If a fire should occur, keep away from the appliance and immediately call your fire department.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EXTINGUISH AN OIL/GREASE FIRE WITH WATER
-
Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding cabinets.
-
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
-
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use the minimum amount of oil when using a shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice
-
Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the size of the burner. Burner flames
should be adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame may be hazardous. -
Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
-
When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of sudden change in temperature.
-
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby burners.
-
Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire. -
When disabling Lock Control (on some models), make sure the surface controls are set to the OFF position. This will prevent unintended gas flow from the burners
-
Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may resultin carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.
OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil or oven liners. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Never place foil or oven liners on the oven bottom. They can trap heat causing risk of smoke or fire.
- Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
- Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
- Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, be careful to avoid touching hot surfaces.
- Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils, or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
- Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent. Items may overheat resulting in a risk of fire or burns.
- Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is not permitted due to overheating of control knobs.
SELF CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation.
- Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean operation. Keep children away from the oven during self-cleaning. Failure to follow these instructions may cause bums.
- Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans, shiny metal oven racks, and other utensils from the oven. Only porcelain-coated oven racks may be left in the oven.
- Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease may ignite leading to smoke damage to your home.
- If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
- 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.
- Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
- IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and
slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to
remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the
first time. To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the
safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an
application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft
cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed
if it is baked on.
Consider recycling options for your appliance packaging material.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR APPLIANCE
Dispose of or recycle your appliance in accordance with Federal and Local
Regulations. Contact your local authorities for the environmentally safe
disposal or recycling of your appliance.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
In Case of a Power Failure
In the event of a power failure, the oven is inoperable and no attempt
should be made to operate it. However, the surface burners may be lit with a
match. Using extreme caution, hold a lit match near the ports beneath the
surface burner cap, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Once lit,
surface burners will continue to operate normally.
Surface Burners
Lighting a Surface Burner
WARNING
Burners should be operated only when covered by cookware. Burner flames not
covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let
flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result
in serious injury.
Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled
before attempting to operate any burner.
You will hear a clicking noise the sound of the electric spark igniting the
burner. When one burner is turned to LITE, all burners will spark. Sparking
will continue as long as the knob remains at LITE. Once gas is ignited, turn
the knob to adjust the flame size.
Selecting a Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When rapid heating is
desired, the flame size should match the size of the cookware you are using.
Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be
hazardous.
Replacing the 9V Battery (cordless range)
CAUTION
Battery may explode or leak and cause burn injury, if recharged, disposed of
in fire, inserted backwards, or misassembled.
When a knob is turned to the LITE position, sparking will occur at the
burners. A weak battery will cause the amount of time between sparks to
increase. If the time between sparks exceeds one second, replace the battery.
If a surface burner doesn’t light within five seconds, turn gas off and wait
one minute for gas to dissipate before attempting to light again.
On some models, a Battery Level indicator light is located to the left of the
burner knobs. This light will glow as the burners are being lit if the battery
has enough power. If this indicator light fails to glow during sparking, the
battery power level is low and the battery should be replaced soon.
IMPORTANT: Replace with standard 9V alkaline battery. Follow all state
and local requirements for disposing of the old battery.
Using the Surface Burners
NOTES:
- Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
- Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while another burner is on. Damage to the product may occur.
- Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials on them.
Your rang top offers convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide
range of cooking applications. The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A
simmer burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking performance for foods
such as delicate sauces that require low heat for a long cooking time
The round burner is for general cooking purposes. Size cookware appropriately
to the flames..
Top-of-Range Cookware
-
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight- fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water
-
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution.
Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat or as the manufacturer recommends. -
Cast-Iron : If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results
-
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
-
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware-those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.
-
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check the cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stove Top Grills
Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your gas surface burners. A
stove top grill will cause incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide
levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.
Do not use stove top grills
Using a Wok
Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches or less. Make sure
the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. Do not use a wok support ring. Placing
the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly,
resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be
hazardous to your health.
Lighting Burners with a Match (cordless range)
If the battery is too weak to light the burners, you can light the gas surface
burners on your range with a wooden kitchen match. Hold a lit match to the
burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use
extreme caution when lighting burners this way. Surface burners in use when an
electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally
Using the Clock and Timer
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
You have the choice of having the timer show the time counting down or the
time of day. In either case, the timer will signal at the end of the timer
period to alert you that the time is up. To Set the Clock
NOTE: When you first plug in the range or after a power failure, the
entire Clock/Timer display will light up.
- Press the Clock pad.
- Press and hold the + or – pad and the time of day will change 10 minutes at a time. To change the time by single minutes, give the pads short taps.
- Press the Clock pad to start the clock.
To Set the Kitchen Timer
- Press the Kitchen Timer On/Off pad.
- Use the + and – pads to set the timer. Short taps on the + or – pad change the timer’s setting one minute at a time. Pressing and continuing to hold the + pad increases the setting 10 minutes at a time.
- Once you have set your timer, press the Kitchen
Timer On/Off pad to start timing.
As the timer counts down, a signal will indicate when one minute is left.
After this signal, the display will count down in seconds. When time runs out,
a final signal will sound. Press the Kitchen Timer On Off pad to stop the
signal.
To Change or Cancel the Kitchen Timer Setting
When the timer is counting down, use the + and – pad to change the remaining
time, or press the Kitchen Timer On/Off pad to stop the timer. The timer
cannot be cancelled unless you have fully completed “set timer” instructions
above.
Display Clock While Kitchen Timer Is Operating
Pressing the Clock pad while the timer is operating will not interfere with
the timer’s operation; the display will change to show the clock, but the
timer will continue to count down and will still signal when time is up. Press
the Kitchen Timer On/Off pad again to change the display back to show the
timer.
Oven Controls
Oven Temperature Knob (on some models)
Turn the Oven Temp knob to the setting you want. • The Oven/Cycle light comes
on when the burner is on.
It will cycle on and off during cooking.
To Adjust the Thermostat
(on models with an Oven Temp Knob):
-
Pull the Oven Temp knob off the range and look at the back side. To make an adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn), but do not completely remove, the two screws on the back of the knob.
-
With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn the front o the knob with the other hand.
To increase the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the right. You’ll hear a click for each notch you move the knob.
To decrease the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the left.
Each click will change the oven temperature approximately 10°F.
(Range is plus or minus 30°F from the arrow.) We suggest that you make the adjustment one click from the original setting and check oven performance before making any additional adjustments. -
After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so they are snug, but be careful not to overtighten.
-
Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the knob to the shaft, and check performance.
Lighting the Oven with a Match (cordless range)
The oven of a battery-powered cordless range may be lit 3. Hold a lit match to
the oven burner pilot. Turn the with a match and operated normally, even if
the battery oven control knob to the PILOT position and push is too weak to
activate the spark system. Follow these in completely. steps to match-light
the oven burner:
- Remove the oven door, oven racks, and oven bottom. To remove oven bottom, remove two 1/4″ hex head screws at the rear of the oven.
- Locate the oven burner pilot at the left rear of the oven burner.
- Pilot should remain lit. If not, repeat steps 3 and 4.
- Replace oven bottom, racks, and oven door.
- After pilot lights, continue to hold in firmly on the knob for 10 seconds before releasing.
- Turn knob to the desired temperature setting. Oven will operate normally.
Turn oven control knob to Off when finished baking.
Sabbath Mode
Certain models comply with Jewish Sabbath requirements for use during the
Sabbath and holidays. .
Start Baking
To start a baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
Because a thermostat model will respond with a clicking sound when the
thermostat knob is used to turn on the oven, this operation should take place
before the Sabbath or Holidays begin.
Adjusting the Temperature
To adjust the oven temperature while in compliance with Sabbath requirements,
the user must observe the oven ON indicator light:
- To adjust the oven temperature to a higher value, the user must first confirm the “OVEN ON” light is on. Only then, can the user turn the knob to a higher temperature than was previously set.
- To adjust the oven temperature to a lower value. the user must first confirm the “OVEN ON” light is off. Only then, can the user turn the knob to a lower temperature than was previously set.
Stop Baking
To stop a baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the off position. Because
a thermostat model will respond with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob
is used to turn off the oven, this operation should take place after the
Sabbath or Holidays end
Oven Light Operation
The oven light can be set to either on or off prior to the start of the
Sabbath or the holiday. Opening and closing of the door will not change the
state of the oven light.
Sabbath Mode Power Outage Note
If a power outage occurs during a Sabbath bake, the unit will return to
Sabbath bake mode when power is restored and the oven will return to the same
temperature as before the outage, without any intervention from the user.
Oven Racks
Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the
Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results.
For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies,
try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on
top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is at least
1½” between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you
turn the oven on. Removing and Replacing Flat Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop
position) on the rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the stop position. tilt
up the front of the rack and bull it out.
To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto the rack supports.
Tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in until it stops. Then lay
the rack flat and push it in until it is all the way into the oven.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean cycle. To
improve sliding conditions, use a sot cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable
oil on the left and right edges of the racks and/or rack supports.
NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for faster preheat, improved
efficiency and optimal cooking performance.
See the Assistance/Accessories section for instructions on ordering additional
racks.
Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
CAUTION
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These
items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of
shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered
by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several
inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely
cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2″ from oven
walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
Cookware
Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans.
Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and
thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time.
If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider
reducing oven temperature by 25°F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and
cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans
work well for dishes such as pies and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is recommended to preheat
this type of cookware if possible. Additional cook time may be required.
Cooking Modes
Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results.
These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for
recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform
differently than the oven it is replacing.
Bake
The bake mode is for baking and roasting. When preparing baked goods such as
cakes, cookies and pastries, always preheat the oven first. To use this mode
turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
Broil
Always broil with the oven door and drawer closed. Monitor food closely while
broiling. Use caution when
broiling on the upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil
burner increases smoking, splattering, and the possibility of fats igniting.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to
adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil
burner when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and
foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a lower rack
position. To use this mode turn the thermostat knob to the Broil setting.
NOTE: Remove unused racks from oven for faster preheat, improved
efficiency. and optimal performance
Broil Compartment (on some models)
For better searing use the rack position that places food closest to the broil
heater. Move food down for more doneness/less searing. Take care not to touch
the inner door when placing and removing food in broil compartment.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air
inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to keep cool and operate
properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of
the oven door, and at the bottom of the range.

Range – Exterior
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any
part of the range.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the
anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to
take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in
death or serious burns to children or adults.
Control Lockout
- If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning.
- See Lock Controls in the Oven Controls section in this manual.
- Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.You may also use a glass cleaner.
- Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind.
- Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning.

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel
wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior
of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution.
Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make
sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and
a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids
containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.
Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the door, top of control
panel and the drawer front. Clean these with son and water or a vinegar and
water solution
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface, including Black Stainless Steel.
Stainless Steel excluding Black Stainless Steel (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will
remove surface rust, tarnish and rub in the direction of the brush lines with
a damp, soft sponge.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless
steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the
grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel
appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections
at the end of this manual.
Range – Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Self Clean
mode.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids
containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.
Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, or scouring
pads on the interior of the oven. For soils on the oven bottom and other
enameled surfaces, use a gentle abrasive containing oxalic acid, such as Bar
Keepers Friend®, with a non-scratch sponge. Take care not to apply any
abrasive cleaners or sponges to the door glass, as it will scratch the
reflective coating. The oven interior and door glass may be cleaned using a
soft cloth with a mild soap and water, or vinegar and water solution. After
cleaning, rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Self Clean Mode (on some models)
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual
before using the Self Clean
Mode. Self Clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven interior. Only
self-clean (black) racks and grates may remain in the oven during the self-
clean cycle. All other items, including nickel plated (silver) racks, should
be removed. If nickel plated (silver) racks are left in the oven during a
self-clean cycle, the racks will tarnish. If either type of rack is left in
the oven during a self-clean cycle, the rack may become difficult to slide.
See the
Oven Racks section for instructions on how to improve.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another
well- ventilated room
To use the Self Clean feature:
- Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven and interior door.
- Remove all items. See Cleaning the Cooktop to determine if your grates may be self-cleaned and for important details regarding grate placement.
- Close the door. Slide the door latch handle to the left as far as it will go.
- Turn Oven Knob to Self Clean.
You cannot open the door during the self-clean cycle. The door will remain
locked after the self-clean cycle until the oven cools below the unlocking
temperature. At the end of the self-clean cycle, allow the oven to cool and
wipe any ash out of the oven.
Racks
All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water.
Enameled (not shiny) racks can be left in the cavity during self clean
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some
vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right
edges.
Cooktop
Removal of Surface Burners for Cleaning
Turn all controls OFF. Allow cooktop to cool before removing grates and burner
parts. When removing the burner caps and heads, remember their size and
location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning.
Cleaning the Surface Burners
Cleaning the Burner Caps
Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour
with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. The round
burner caps may also be cleaned in your dishwasher.
Cleaning the Burner Heads
Wash the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers which could
clog the burner openings. Lift burners off when cool. Wash with hot, soapy
water. Rinse with clean water. For more stubborn stains, use a brush with
plastic bristles.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring pads to clean the burner parts as
these may clog the openings. Never wash burner heads in your dishwasher as
dishwasher. Doing so may cause them to discolor.
The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even,
unhampered flame.
Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow the burner to
operate properly.
Replacing Surface Burners
Replace burner heads in the correct locations according to size. Ensure each
cap is properly seated on the burner head, as pictured below.
CAUTION
Do not operate the cooktop without all burner parts and grates in place.
Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Avoid hitting
the electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged.
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the burner head is removed.
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.
Burner Grates
Manual Cleaning
Grates should be washed in hot, soapy water and rinsed with clean water. To
soften burned-on food, place grates in a solution containing ¼-cup of
household ammonia for several hours. Afterward, scrub grates with a plastic
scouring pad soaked in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry.
Self Clean Mode (on some models)
If your grates do not have rubber bumpers on their bottom surface, they may be
cleaned in the oven using the self-clean cycle. Do not attempt to clean your
grates in the oven if your grates have rubber bumpers. Doing so will destroy
the rubber bumpers and may affect the function of your surface burners.
Nickel-plated racks should not remain in the oven during the self clean cycle.
Doing so will tarnish the racks. If either type of rack is left in the oven
during a self-clean cycle, the rack may become difficult to slide.
NOTE: When placing or removing grates from the oven, do not slide the
grates on the racks or oven bottom. Doing so could damage the enamel on the
racks or oven bottom.
To self clean your grates on the oven bottom:
- Remove all oven racks.
- Gently place one grate on the center of the oven bottom with the grate oriented in the upright position Stack remaining grate(s) as shown below. Do not place or stack grates in any other configuration.
Once the grates are placed in the oven, operate the self-clean cycle per the
instruction in the Cleaning the Oven section.
NOTE: Use caution when removing the grates from the oven after the self-
clean cycle has ended. The grates may still be hot.
Once the self-clean cycle is complete, the grates may carefully be removed.
You may notice a white residue ( the grates. Wipe it off with a damp sponge.
If white spo persist, wet the sponge with a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water and wipe the grates again.
When replacing the grates on the cooktop, be sure to locate them correctly.
Grates should fit securely into the cooktop.
Grate Support Bumpers (on some models)
If any of the rubber grate support bumpers in the cooktop are missing or
damaged, replacement parts can be obtained by calling GE Appliances at
1.800.GE.CARES (1.800.432.2737).
To insert the new bumpers, simply place the cone- shaped end of the bumper
into the hole in the cooktop and push down while gently twisting the bumper.

Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots in the door .
Wipe dish soap over any baked-on spatters on the glass. Use a single sided
safety razor blade to clean it off. Ther wipe over the glass with a soapy
cloth to remove any residue and dry off.
The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soap-filled plastic scouring
pad. Do not rub or clean the door gasket – it has an extremely low resistance
to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it
has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.
Cleaning the Door Exterior
If a stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner
and a sponge-scrubber for best results. Do not use this method on any other
surface.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless
steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the
grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel
appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections
