RANGE MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Clean Cycle

AquaLift® Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odor-free alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), it will appear in the display, and the Clean cycle will not be activated until the oven cavity cools down.

To Clean:

Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity, and wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easily removed soils
Pour distilled or filtered water onto the bottom of the empty oven, and close the oven door
- IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean cycle. The water on the oven bottom is hot.
Press CLEAN or AQUALIFT SELF CLEAN and then START on the oven control panel.
Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cool down. A beep will sound when the Clean cycle is complete.
Press CANCEL, CANCEL UPPER or OFF at the end of the cycle. Cancel, Cancel Upper or Off may be pressed at any time to stop the Clean cycle.
Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of the initial 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of water will remain in the oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils remain, leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom to assist with the cleaning.
If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch scrubbing sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Clean cycles may be run to help remove the stubborn soils.

IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of chemicals, including commercial oven cleaners or metal scouring pads, may cause permanent damage to the porcelain surface of the oven interior.

NOTES:

The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface of the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the beginning of the Clean cycle.
For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.
Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at the end of the Clean cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel between the lower edge of the oven door and the front frame to keep water from spilling onto the front of the range and the floor.
Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more difficult to remove with the Clean cycle.
Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser style cleaning pads (without cleaners) can be effective for cleaning the oven cavity walls, oven door and oven bottom for difficult soils.
For best results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.
Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils.
Affresh® Kitchen Appliance Cleaner and affresh® Cooktop
Cleaner may be used to clean the oven bottom, walls, and door when the oven has finished the cycle and returned to room temperature. If affresh® Cooktop Cleaner is used, it is recommended to wipe out the cavity with distilled water as well. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

If connected to propane, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 14ʺ (36 cm) water column.
Examples of a qualified person include licensed heating personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or, in Canada, the National Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1 – latest edition.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. See the “Make Gas Connection” section for leak testing instructions.

Type of Gas Natural Gas

This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. If converting to propane gas, see “Gas Conversions” section. The model/serial/rating plate located behind the control panel has information on the types of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.

Propane Gas Conversion:

Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the model/serial/rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See “Gas Conversions” section.

Gas Supply Line

Provide a gas supply line of 3/4″ (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. With propane gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2″ (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, propane gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.

Flexible metal appliance connector:

If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, 1/2″ (1.3 cm) or 3/4″ (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.
A 1/2″ (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator.
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the range.
Must include a shutoff valve:
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily accessible location. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.
A. Gas supply line
B. Shutoff valve “open” position
C. To range

Gas Pressure Regulator

The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:

Natural gas:

Minimum pressure: 5″ (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14″ (35.6 cm) WCP

Propane gas:

Minimum pressure: 11″ (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14″ (35.6 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1″
(2.5 cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge [14″ (35.6 cm) WCP]
The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge [14″ (35.6 cm) WCP] or lower
The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

If the rear of the range lifts more than 1/2″ (1.3 cm) off the floor without resistance, the anti-tip bracket may not be installed correctly. Do not operate the range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged. Please reference the “Warranty” to contact service.
Move the range into its final location. Check that the range is level by placing a level on the oven bottom. See the “Level Range” section.

IMPORTANT: f the range is moved to adjust the leveling legs, verify that the anti-tip bracket is engaged by repeating steps 1 to 8.

Electronic Ignition System

Initial Lighting and Gas Flame Adjustments
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the ignite position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. All cooktop burners will spark, but only the burner with the control knob turned to the ignite position will produce a flame. This sparking continues as long as the control knob is turned to the ignite position.
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking occurs and ignites the gas.

Check Operation of Cooktop Burners

Standard Surface Burners
Push in and turn each control knob to the ignite position.
The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

If Burners Do Not Light Properly:

Turn cooktop control knob to the off position.
Check that the range is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the open position.
Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner bases.
Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn the control knobs to the off position and contact your dealer or authorized service company for assistance. Please reference the “Warranty” section of the User Guide to contact service.
If the cooktop “low” burner flame needs to be adjusted for any of the burners, see the “Adjust Flame Height” section.
