■ 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 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.

WARNING 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. 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.

WARNING 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 inan 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.

WARNING 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.

**USING THE RANGE

**

In Case of a Power Failure / Surface Burners
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
WARNIN G 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.

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 rangetop 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 burner 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.

Oval Burner
Use this burner to cook on the griddle.

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

Side Views Of The Multi-Ring Burner Knob

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)
WARNING 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 (on some models)

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 rangetop. 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
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.

■ 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 Nonstick Aluminum Griddle (on some models)

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.
Griddle Precautions:
■ Do not use oil on the griddle for extended lengths of time. Permanent staining and/or craze lines on the surface could result.
■ Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the griddle burner on at Hi for an extended amount of time without food can damage the nonstick coating.
■ Use only plastic, nylon, wooden utensils, or SilverStone® kitchen tools to prevent marring of the coating.
■ Never use knives or cut food on the griddle.
■ Do not use metal utensils with sharp points or rough, sharp edges which might damage the griddle surface.
■ Store carefully to prevent scratching.
■ Do not place the griddle in a microwave oven.
■ 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.
■ Do not clean your griddle in the dishwasher.
■ Do not clean the griddle in the self-cleaning oven. Doing so will damage the nonstick coating. For instructions on how to clean the griddle, see the Cleaning the Cooktop section of this manual.

Positioning Your Griddle
The nonstick aluminum griddle (on some models) can only be used over the center burner of the rangetop. To position the griddle, remove the center grate (if present), and replace it with the griddle. Do not turn on the center burner until you are certain the griddle has been positioned correctly.
Preheating Your Griddle
If your center burner is a single oval burner, preheat your griddle for 2-5 minutes on Hi before placing food on the griddle. If your center burner is a dual oval burner, preheat your griddle for 5-10 minutes on Hi before placing food on the griddle. Once the griddle is preheated, turn the heat down to the cook setting outlined in the table corresponding to your griddle. To determine the type of burner you have, see the Types of Surface Burners section.

• The standard Sabbath mode has not been reviewed or approved by Orthodox Union.

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.
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.

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.

Oven 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 traditional bake mode is intended for single rack cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower  element but also from the upper element to cook food.Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start.
Convection Bake
This mode is intended for single rack baking when additional airflow is desired to enhance evenness. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Bake pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then press
Start.
Convection Roast
This mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. The utilization of all three elements and direct airflow down from the top of the oven improves browning and reduces cooking time. Check food earlier than the recipe suggests or use the  probe when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Roast pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then press Start.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility  of fats igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 is not recommended. Broiling can be used for foods that would typically be grilled.
Adjust the rack position in order to vary the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior are desired. For best performance center the food below the broil heating element.
Press the Broil pad twice for High or once for Low depending on the amount of searing and the internal temperature that is preferred. The High setting is best for thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. The Low setting is preferred for thicker cuts of meat and foods you like to be cooked all the way through. It is not necessary to preheat the oven for these modes. Then press Start.
Air Fry
Air Fry is a special, no-preheat, cooking mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. The Air Fry mode is intended for single rack cooking only. Select Air Fry, then input the desired set temperature and press Start. The temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F.  Preheating is not recommended for this mode. Followtraditional oven recipe or package guidelines for set temperatures and cook times; adjust cook time to achieve your desired crispness. Additional guidelines for using this mode can be found in the Cooking Guide.
Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods at a higher temperature for up to 3 hours. Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips, or dry cereal. It is also recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. Press the Warm pad and then press Start.

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 Cooking Guide
Cook food thoroughly to help protect against food borne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations for food safety can be found at IsItDoneYet.gov. Use a food thermometer to measure food temperatures.

Oven 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.
Cookware used in broil modes and air fry must be broilsafe.

General Tips for Air Fry Mode

• The Air Fry mode is designed for cooking on a single rack.
• The Air Fry mode is designed to be used without preheating.
• Rack position 4 is recommended for most foods. Use rack position 3 for thicker foods.
• Foods may cook faster than expected if the oven is already hot when food is placed in the oven.
• When air frying foods with sauce, it is recommended to apply the sauce at the end of cooking.
• If foods are browning too quickly, try a lower rack position or lower oven set temperature.
• For packaged foods, use traditional oven cooking instructions for set temperature and expected cook time.
• It is not necessary to flip or stir food during cooking
• Arrange food in a single layer on the pan, do not overload the pan.
• Always check internal food temperature to confirm minimum safe temperatures have been reached.
  Minimum safe food temperatures can be found on packages and at IsItDoneYet.gov.

CARE AND CLEANING

Range – Exterior
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
WARNING 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 (on some models)
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:

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.

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.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove oval burner cap from the burner heads.

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
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.

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
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.
Porcelain-coated grates may gradually dull if continually exposed to self- clean temperatures.
If your oven is equipped with self-clean (black) racks, it is recommended to follow the instructions for placing grates on racks. If your oven is equipped with nickel- plated (silver) racks, it is recommended to follow the instructions for placing grates on the oven bottom. 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 self-clean racks:

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

NOTE: DO NOT operate your cooktop during the Self Clean Mode because the Self Clean cycle will be canceled.

To self clean your grates on the oven bottom:

1. Remove all oven racks.
2. 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 selfclean 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 calling GE Appliances at 1-800-661-1616
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
Aluminum and Reversible Cast-Iron: 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 offexcess 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 soapfilled 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.

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.
