Safety IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY WARNING When properly cared for, your new appliance has been designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including these in the following pages.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Electrical Requirements WARNING ALWAYS disconnect the electrical plug from the wall receptacle before servicing this unit. CAUTION For personal safety, this appliance must be connected to a properly grounded and polarized electrical power supply.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. If the range is near a window, be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the range burners; they could catch on fire. WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE: • Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. DO NOT use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or range.

Assembling the Grill 1.
IMPORTANT: • • • • • • If flames appear while grilling, turn off heat and remove the food. Use caution to avoid any potential injury while removing food. Often, such flames will extinguish themselves within a few minutes once grease drippings have burned up. DO NOT leave the grill unattended until all flames are extinguished. If desired, flames can be extinguished by generously shaking baking soda or salt over them to smother fire.
Grill Cooking Recommendations IMPORTANT: • • GRILL SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT PROPER VENTILATION. Foods with excessive fat or grease should not be prepared on an indoor grill. Grilling foods with high fat content (certain types of ground beef, sausage, etc) increases the chances of smoke and flames.
Using the Oven Oven Operation Main Oven Two Rack Baking Levels #2 & #4 Dual Fuel #3 & #5 Gas Bake Rack Positions Rack level positions in the oven are numbered like an elevator. Number one level is the lowest and number five level is at the top. BAKE or CONVEC BAKE Mode -- Casserole dishes Main Oven Three Rack Baking If three-rack baking is desired, the Convection Bake mode is best.
• Stagger bakeware so that one is not directly above another. Allow 1½'' (38 mm) above and below each pan. 2. Set oven temperature using the Temperature Selector Knob. – The OVEN ON and PREHEATING lights turn on. OVEN ON – The oven is preheated to the set temperature when the PREHEATING light cycles off the first time.
DO NOT continue to use the ovens if the cooling blower fails to activate while baking. Call a qualified service agency to repair the range. NOTE: It is normal for the cooling process to push heated air out into the room when the oven is on. WARNING FOOD SAFETY — The United States Department of Agriculture advises: DO NOT hold foods at temperatures between 40°F – 140°F (4°C – 60°C) for more than 2 hours. Cooking raw foods below 275°F (135°C) is not recommended.
Convection Baking Convection Bake Rack Positions Time can be saved by baking an entire batch of cookies at the same time. The cookies will bake evenly and be done all at once. The baking time may be shorter due to the warm circulating air. For small items such as cookies, check to see if they are done one to two minutes before the recipe time. For larger baked items such as cakes, check five to six minutes before the time indicated on the recipe. See Figure 28 on Page 29 for rack positions.
Dehydrating Foods with Convection Bake Use the Convection Bake to dry and preserve fruits and vegetables. Tips: • • • • • • • • Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air. Dry most fruits and vegetables at 150°F (66°C). Check food at the minimum drying time. It is best to use drying racks (not included) so that air can flow around the food. Do not place food directly on a baking sheet or pan.
WARM (secondary oven, only on Dual Fuel 48" models) This feature maintains the warm environment needed for keeping cooked foods hot. To Set the Secondary Oven to WARM 1. To preheat the oven turn the Mode Selector Knob to WARM about 10 minutes before use. DO NOT rotate the Temperature Selector Knob to any setting (leave in OFF position). 2. Place the hot food in the secondary oven then close the door. The ideal temperature for keeping the food warm will be maintained until the Selector Switch is turned off.
Other Uses of Bake Low Temperature Uses of the Oven In addition to providing perfect temperatures for baking and roasting, the oven can be used at low temperatures to keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature and to warm plates. For best results, preheat the oven to the desired temperature. Hot cooked foods can be kept at serving temperatures. Set the oven to bake and use the temperature suggested on the chart.
Getting the Best Results Automatic operation of the cooling blowers • • • The cooling blowers activate after the oven reaches 300°F (149°C). When the oven is turned off, the blowers remain on until the oven temperature cools below 250°F (121°C). • • Defrost food before broiling. Door is to be closed during broiling. Steaks should be more than 1" (25.4 mm) thick if rare meat is desired. Use convection broil if steaks are over 1½'' (38 mm) thick.
Care and Maintenance Self-Cleaning the Oven (Dual Fuel Models Only) WARNING • • • • Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. During the Self-Clean cycle, exterior surfaces may become hotter than usual. Parts of the appliance may become potentially harmful to children, and to persons who lack adult knowledge of appliances and lack adult reactions to potentially harmful conditions.
