READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

◆ Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this owner’s manual.
◆ Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
◆ Any adjustment and service should be performed only by a qualified gas range installer or service technician. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual.
◆ Your range is shipped from the factory set for use with natural gas. It can be converted for use with propane gas. If required, these adjustments must be made by a qualified technician in accordance with the installation instructions and local codes. The agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
◆ Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to tum it off if necessary.
◆ Before performing any service, unplug the range or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
◆ Be sure all packing materials are removed from the range before operating to prevent ignition of these materials.
◆ Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cooktops, or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire, or cuts may occur.
◆ Dual Fuel: If the heating element in the oven develops a glowing spot or shows other signs of damage, do not use that area of the range. A glowing spot indicates the element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the heating element off immediately and have it replaced by a qualified service technician.
◆ 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.
◆ 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 bum 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 IsitDoneYet.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.

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.
◆ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
◆ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING

◆ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Tum 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 or 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

◆ 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 result in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 bums 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 burns.
◆ 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.

WARMING DRAWER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

◆ The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow very rapidly in food that is between 40 and 140° F. Do not put cold food in warming drawer. Do not keep food in the warming drawer for more than 2 hours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in foodborne illness.
◆ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food, or combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.
◆ Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to cause burns.
◆ Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a crack, and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam that escapes can cause burns to hands, face, and/or eyes.
◆ Do not use aluminum foil to line the warming drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and potentially cause a fire hazard.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Remote Enable Equipment
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The wireless communication equipment installed on this range has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to:

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.

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

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. Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob in and turn it to the LITE position.
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.

Automatic Reignition (on some models)
The burners on this range will automatically relight if the flame goes out.

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.

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 ridgetop has sealed gas burners that offer 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 extra-large burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. Some models have a POWER BOIL™ setting especially designed for use with cookware with a diameter of 11 inches or larger.

Types of Surface Burners

Round Burner
Use this bumer for general cooking purposes.
Size cookware appropriately to the flames.

Multi-Ring Burner (on some models)
Use this burner for large cookware or for simmering applications.

Multi-Ring Burner (some models)
For large cookware, activate all rings by setting set the bummer between Hi and Med.

For small cookware or low heating applications, only activate the inner rings by setting the burner between Lo and Sim.

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.

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.

Griddle (on some models)

Fire Hazard
◆ Use care when cooking greasy foods. Spilled grease may result in fire.
◆ Never place any items on the griddle when it is not in use. Heat from surrounding burners can heat the griddle and may result in fire.
◆  Place and remove the griddle only when griddle is cool and all surface burners are turned OFF.

Using Your Cast Iron Griddle
The ribbed side of the reversible griddle can be used for food normally grilled.
Your griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for meats, pancakes and other foods usually prepared in a skillet. Before first use, rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly. Prepare the surface with cooking spray or vegetable oil.

Griddle Precautions:
◆ Do not place the griddle in a microwave oven.
◆ Do not clean your griddle in the dishwasher.
◆  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 with hot, soapy water as soon as it is cool.

Positioning Your Griddle
The cast-iron griddle can only be used over the center burner(s) of the ridgetop. To position the griddle, remove the center grate (if present), and replace it with the griddle. Do not turn on the center burner(s) until you are certain the griddle has been positioned correctly.

Preheating Your Griddle
For models with a non-reversible griddle, preheat your griddle by setting both center burners to 4 for 5-10 minutes before placing food on the griddle. For models with a reversible griddle, preheat your griddle by setting your center burner to Hi for 5-10 minutes before placing food on the griddle. Once the griddle is preheated, turn the knob on the burner(s) to the cook setting outlined in the table.

Preseason Cast-lron Griddle

Cook settings may need to be reduced if the griddle is used for an extended time.

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 172″ between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow.
Your Oven may have extension racks and/or traditional flat racks.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Extension Racks
Always pull the rack out by its upper front rail to its fully open position, when placing or removing cookware.
If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your oven. Remove the rack from the oven, remove debris in the side tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant.
To order additional graphite lubricant, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

To Remove An Extension Rack:

1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven so that side paddles on the rack disengage from the oven support.
2. Slide the rack toward you to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the sliding rack, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To Replace An Extension Rack:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the sliding rack.
2. Place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push it in as far as it will go.

If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe the oven rack supports with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil on the rack slides.

To Lubricate the Paddle:
Shake lubricant and apply to the moving parts of the paddle mechanisms as shown.

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

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 rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods.

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 press the Bake pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start/Enter.
Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food It is recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. Press the Warm pad and then press Start/Enter. Some models may also have warming drawers. Three settings are available – use High for items such as stews, meats, and potatoes; use Medium for items such as casseroles and pizzas; use Low for items such as breads, waffles, and also for warming oven-safe dishes.

Broiling Modes
Always broil with the oven door/drawer closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling; placing food close to the broil element or burner increases smoking, spattering and the possibility of fats igniting. It is not necessary to preheat when using the Broil modes.
Broil Hi
The Broil High mode uses intense heat from the upper element or burner to sear foods. Use Broil High for thinner cuts of meat and/or when you would like to have a seared surface and rare interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start/Enter.
Broil Lo
The Broil Low mode uses less intense heat from the upper element or burner to cook food thoroughly while also browning the surface. Use Broil Low for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start/Enter.

Frozen Snacks
The Frozen Snacks modes are designed to cook frozen foods such as potato nuggets, French fries, and similar frozen snacks and appetizers. Most foods will cook within package recommended time. Adjust cooking time according to individual preferences. Press Options and select Frozen then follow any display prompts to access this mode.
Use Frozen Snacks Single when cooking frozen snacks on a single rack. This mode does not require preheating the oven. Food should be placed in the oven before or immediately upon starting this mode.
Use Frozen Snacks Multi when cooking frozen snacks on two racks simultaneously. This mode includes a preheating cycle to prepare the oven for multi-rack baking.

Frozen Pizza
The Frozen Pizza modes are designed to cook frozen pizzas. Most pizzas will cook within package recommended times. Adjust cooking time according to individual preferences. Press Options and select Frozen then follow any display prompts to access this mode.
Use Frozen Pizza Single when cooking on a single rack. This mode does not require preheating the oven. Food should be placed in the oven before or immediately upon starting this mode.
Use Frozen Pizza Multi when cooking on two racks simultaneously. This mode includes a preheating cycle to prepare the oven for multi-rack baking.

Baked Goods
The Baked Goods mode is designed for cooking cakes, breads, cookies, and similar foods on a single rack. This mode is designed to provide lighter top browning and better volume. Some foods may require slightly longer cook times relative to when cooked in the traditional bake mode. Press Options and select Baked Goods than follow any display prompts to access this mode.

Convection Bake Multi Rack
The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to adjust the temperature when using this mode. Always preheat when using this mode. Baking times may be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the Conv Bake pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then press Start/Enter.

Convection Roast
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to improve browning and reduce cooking time. Check food earlier than the recipe suggested time when using this mode, or use the probe (see the Probe section for more information). It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Roast pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start/Enter.

Proof
Proof mode maintains a warm environment for rising yeast-leavened dough. If the oven is too warm, Proof mode will not operate and the display will show “Oven too hot for Proof”. For best results, cover the dough while proofing and check early to avoid over-proofing. Press Options and select Proof then follow any display prompts or press the Proof pad (on some models) to access this mode.

Do not use the Proof mode for warming food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven temperature is not hot enough to hold foods at safe temperatures.

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.

Oven Probe

Consuming undercooked food can result in foodborne illness. Use probe according to the following instructions to ensure all portions of the food reach minimum safe cooking temperatures. Recommendations for minimum safe food temperatures can be found at foodsafety.gov or Is lt Done Yet. gov.

Internal food temperature is frequently used as an indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry. The Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature and turns the oven off when the internal food temperature reaches the programmed temperature.
Always check the temperature at multiple locations in the food with a food thermometer after cooking to ensure that all portions of the food have reached the minimum safe internal temperature for that food.

Proper Probe Placement
After preparing the meat and placing it on the cooking pan follow these instructions for proper probe placement.
◆ Insert the probe into the food, so that the tip of the probe will rest in the center of the thickest part of  the food. For best performance the probe should be fully inserted into the food. If the probe is not located properly, it may not accurately measure the temperature of the coolest portion of the food. Some foods, particularly small items, are not well suited for cooking with the probe due to their shape or size.
◆ The probe should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
◆ For whole poultry insert the probe into the thickest part of the breast.
◆ For boneless roasts, insert the probe into the center of the roast.
◆ For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.
◆ For casseroles or dishes such as meatloaf, insert the probe into the center of the dish.
◆ For fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Probe Usage
The temperature probe can only be used with Bake, Convection Bake, and Convection Roast.
To use the probe with preheating:

1. Select the desired cook mode (Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) pad and enter the desired cooking temperature with the number pads.
2. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).
3. Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven and connect the probe to the probe outlet, making sure it is fully inserted. Use caution, the oven walls and probe outlet are hot.
4. When the probe is connected, the display will prompt you to enter the desired food temperature. The maximum internal food temperature that you can set is 200° F.

To use the probe without preheating:

1. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).
2. Place the food in the oven and connect the probe into the probe outlet in the oven.
3.  Press the Cook Mode pad (Traditional Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) and enter the desired cooking temperature with the  number pads. Press Options and select Probe then follow the display prompts to enter the desired food temperature.

Probe Care Guidelines
◆ Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe outlet.
◆ Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet
◆ To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
◆ To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting the probe.
◆ To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.
◆ Never leave the probe inside the oven during a self or steam clean cycle.
◆ Do not store the probe in the oven.

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.

Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use.
Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish, including Black Stainless Steel.

Oven Exterior
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 soap 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 small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit 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 Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
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.

Steam Clean Mode
The Steam Clean feature is for cleaning light soil from your oven at a lower temperature than Self Clean.
To use the Steam Clean feature:

1. Start with the oven at room temperature.
2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven.
3. Pour one cup of water onto the bottom of the oven.
4. Close the door.
5. Press the Clean pad, select Steam Clean and then press Start/Enter.

You cannot open the door during the 30 minute Steam Clean cycle. At the end of the Steam Clean cycle, soak up the remaining water, and wipe the moisture- softened soil from the oven walls and door.

Self Clean Mode
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. For a moderately soiled oven, run a 3 hour self-clean cycle. For a heavily soiled oven, run  a 5 hour self-clean cycle. 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:

1. Start with the oven at room temperature.
2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven and interior door.
3. Remove all items other than self-clean (black) racks and grates, if desired. See Cleaning the Cooktop to determine if your grates may be self- cleaned and for important details regarding grate placement.
4. Close the door.
5. Press the Clean pad, select Self Clean and then press Start/Enter.

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.

Do not attempt to remove oval or dual oval burner caps from the burner heads.

Cleaning the Surface Burners
Cleaning the Burner Caps
Wash bumer 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 stubbed 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
Before replacing the burner caps, heads and oval head/ cap assembly, shake out excess water and allow them to dry thoroughly.
Replace burner heads in the correct locations according to size. Ensure each cap is properly seated on the burner head, as pictured below.

 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.

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
Your grates may be cleaned in the oven using the self- clean cycle.
NOTE: When placing or removing grates from the oven, do not slide the grates on the racks. Doing so could damage the enamel on the racks.

To self-clean your grates:

1. Insert racks in positions 1, 3, and 5 or positions 2 and 4.
2. Gently place one grate on each rack.

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 on the grates. Wipe it off with a damp sponge. If white spots 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 visiting cafeappliances.com/part.
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.

Griddles (on some models)
Cast Iron and Reversible Cast-lron: Clean your reversible cast-iron griddle with a stiff brush and hot water. Using soap is not recommended, and harsh detergents should never be used as they will remove the seasoning. Rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly.
After rinsing, preseason the griddle by applying a light coat of cooking oil to the griddle surface. Wipe off excess oil with a paper towel. Store in a cool, dry place.

Griddle Precautions:
◆ If something has spilled under the griddle, it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent the spill from getting baked onto the cooktop.
◆ Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle with hot, soapy water as soon as it is cool.
◆ Do not wash your griddle in the dishwasher.
◆ Do not clean the griddle in the self-cleaning oven.

Door and Drawer

Cleaning the Oven Door
Cleaning the Door Interior
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. Then 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 at the end of this manual.

Removable Warming Drawer or Storage Drawer

NOTE: For models with an electric warming drawer, before performing any adjustments, cleaning or service, disconnect the range electrical power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker. Make sure the warming drawer heating element is cool.

Most cleaning can be done with the drawer in place.
However, the drawer may be removed if further cleaning is needed. Use soap and warm water to thoroughly clean.

To remove the drawer:

1. Pull drawer straight out until it stops.
2. Press the left rail release up and press the right rail release down, while pulling the drawer forward and free.

To replace the drawer:

1. Place the left drawer rail around the inner left rail guide and slide it in slightly to hook it.
2. Place the right drawer rail around the inner right rail guide and slide it in slightly to hook it.
3. Slide the drawer all the way in.

Oven Probe

The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn spots with a soap- filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.
To order additional temperature probes, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

◆ Do not immerse the temperature probe in water.
◆ Do not store the temperature probe in the oven.
◆ Do not leave the temperature probe inside the oven during a self or steam clean cycle.

Oven Light

SHOCK OR BURN HAZARD: Before replacing oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or burn.
BURN HAZARD: The glass cover and bulb should be removed when cool. Touching hot glass with bare hands or a damp cloth can cause burns.

NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only when cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip. Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Let the bulb cool completely before removing it. For your safety do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If you do the bulb may break.

To remove:
Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 tum until the tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the socket and pull the cover off. Remove the bulb.
To replace:
Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb. Place the tabs of the glass cover into the grooves of the socket. Turn the glass cover clockwise 1/4 tum.

NOTE:
◆ A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a standard 40-watt household bulb.
◆ Reconnect electrical power to the oven once the new bulb is installed.
◆ For improved lighting inside the oven, clean the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth. This should be done when the oven is completely cool.
