IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. • Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. • Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer). • Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. • Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • 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.

You may also press the function button to confirm the clock manually while the indicator bar is blinking.
TIMED COOKINGS WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

Then use the + or – button to set the shut off time of day, and press the function button or wait for 5 seconds to confirm. SETTING THE COOKING METHODS Thermostat (°F) Cooking Mode Turn the oven Thermostat knob and Cooking-Mode knobs to set the temperature and oven mode. The oven will turn on, and will automatically shut off according to the time set.
COOKTOP USE Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance. 1. This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the regulations in force and only used in a well-ventilated space. 2. The use of a gas-cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood). 3.
For lower gas consumption and a better result, use saucepans with a diameter matching the diameter of the burner, to avoid the flame coming up around the sides of the saucepan. See the Container Table. Use only flatbottomed pans. As soon as liquid starts to boil, turn the flame down to a level sufficient to maintain boiling. COOKWARE MATCH PAN DIAMETER TO FLAME SIZE The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller.
OVEN USE WARNING NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Reset all controls to the OFF position after using a programmable timing operation. No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during power failure.
Bake THERMOSTAT RANGE: 140°F (60°C) TO MAX 500°F (260°C) The Bake mode uses heat from the lower element to cook food. When using this mode to prepare baked goods such as cakes, cookies and pastries, always preheat the oven first and place food centrally near the middle racks. Broil THERMOSTAT RANGE: Broil The Broil mode uses intense heat from the upper element to sear foods. Ideal for toasting, melting cheese, browning and searing surface.
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES Bake Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements in the oven are used to heat the air but no fan is used to circulate the heat. Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time and rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and the size, shape and finish of the baking utensil. General Guidelines • For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1" - 1½" (2.

RANGE CARE CLEANING IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted. Do not use abrasive cleaning products. EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES • Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills may affect the finish.
PORCELAIN-COATED GRATES AND CAPS • Clean as soon as cooktop, grates and caps are cool. • Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the cooktop grates and caps are cool. These spills may affect the finish. • To avoid chipping, do not bang grates and caps against each other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware. • Do not reassemble caps on burners while wet. Cleaning Method: • Nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive cleanser.
OVEN CAVITY • Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain, so staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. Cleaning Method: • Mild detergent and warm water. NOTE: Do not use oven cleaners. OVEN RACKS AND ROASTING RACKS Cleaning Method: • Steel-wool pad 2-PIECE BROILER PAN Cleaning Method: • Mildly abrasive cleanser: Scrub with wet scouring pad. • Solution of ½ cup (125 mL) ammonia to 1 gal.

TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call. BAKING PROBLEMS With any oven setting poor results can occur for many reasons other than a malfunction of the oven. Check the chart below for causes of the most common problems. Since the size, shape and material of baking utensils directly affect the baking results, the best solution may be to replace old baking utensils that have darkened and warped with age and use.
PROBLEM CAUSE Pie crusts do not brown on bottom or crust is soggy • Baking time not long enough • Using shiny steel pans • Incorrect rack position • Oven temperature is too low Cakes pale, flat and may not be done inside • Oven temperature too low • Incorrect baking time • Cake tested too soon • Oven door opened too often • Pan size may be too large Cakes high in middle with crack on top • Oven temperature too high • Baking time too long • Pans touching each other or oven walls • Incorrect rack posit
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Burner Flames are uneven, yellow and/ or noisy Burner port(s) are clogged. Clean burner port opening using a stiff, nylon toothbrush or a straightened paper clip. Burner caps are not positioned properly. Place burner caps so that the alignment pins are properly aligned with the slots. Propane gas is being used. The range should be converted to LP gas by a qualified technician. Burner flame is too high or too low Cooktop gas supply is not correct.
OVEN PROBLEMS PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Oven is not heating No power to the range. Check the circuit breaker or fuse box to your house. Make sure there is proper electrical power to the oven. Oven control not turned on. Make sure the oven temperature has been selected. Oven is not cooking evenly Not using the correct bake ware or oven rack position. Refer to cook charts for recommended rack position. Always reduce recipe temperature by 25 °F (15 °C) when baking with Convention Bake mode.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE Excessive Moisture Porcelain Chips SOLUTION When using bake mode, preheat the oven first. Convection Bake and Convection Roast will eliminate any moisture in the oven. Porcelain interior is chipped by oven racks When removing and replacing oven racks, always tilt racks upward and do not force them to avoid chipping the porcelain.
