To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before

operating it. Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials,

gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials. If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken

to prevent curtains from blowing over burners. NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air from the vent may ignite

flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may cause them to burst.

Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted surface burner.

Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods. DO NOT leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc; fire hazard.

In Case of Fire Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame, then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor. Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet. NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan. Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.

DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.

Child Safety NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in

use or is still hot. NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they

could be injured or burned. DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing

to reach items could be seriously injured. Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot.

Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.

Cooking Safety To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet

storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner flame.

ALWAYS adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance. This is based on safety considerations.

NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.

NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface burner or in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance.

Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.

ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.

DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan off.

NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or long- sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.

ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy potholders. ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry potholder.

ALWAYS turn the oven off at the end of cooking. Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before

moving or replacing food.

Utensil Safety (cont.) This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional

cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

The flame of the burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause scorching of adjacent counter-top surfaces, as well as the outside of the utensil. This is based on safety considerations.

Heating Elements NEVER touch oven heating elements, areas near elements, or interior

surfaces of oven. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near

elements and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Cleaning Safety Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or

cleaning them. DO NOT touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Self-Clean Oven Clean only parts listed in this guide. DO NOT clean door gasket. The door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. DO NOT use oven cleaners of any kind in or around any part of the self-clean oven.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove oven racks and other utensils and wipe up excessive spillovers to prevent excessive smoke, flare-ups or flaming.

This range features a cooling fan which operates automatically during a clean cycle. If the fan does not turn on, cancel the clean operation and contact an authorized servicer.

It is normal for the rangetop cooking surface of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the rangetop cooking surface during a clean cycle should be avoided.

Cooking Safety (cont.) NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could

result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.

PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The food could be contaminated.

If you are flaming liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.

Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. 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 venting holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device. Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may call for additional (such as opening a window) or more effective ventilation (such as increasing the level of a mechanical ventilation if present).

Utensil Safety Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay

cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent surface burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by small children.

NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance.

Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are

suitable for rangetop surface or oven usage without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when using glass.

Lighting Burners All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are no open-flame, standing pilots.

Surface Burners-Automatic Reignition To light the surface burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to any position. This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any ON position with the automatic re-ignition system. If the flame goes out for any reason, the burners will automatically reignite if the gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On all surface igniters you should hear a clicking sound. If you do not, turn off the control and check that the unit is plugged in and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.

Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control to any position to adjust the flame size. Setting the proper flame height for the desired cooking process and selecting the correct cooking vessel will result in superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.

Surface Cooking Tips Your range is equipped with a variety of different sized surface burners. Below is a guide for which burners work best for certain cooking applications. O

p eration

Surface Operation Surface Cooking Tips (cont.) Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in vessels that are

poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast-iron. Reduce the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the cooking vessel diameter. This will ensure more even heating within the cooking vessel and reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.

Reduce the flame if it is extending beyond the bottom of the cooking vessel. A flame that extends along the sides of the vessel is potentially dangerous, heats the utensil handle and kitchen instead of the food, and wastes energy.

Reduce the flame height to the minimum level necessary to perform the desired cooking process. Remember that food cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a rolling boil. Maintaining a higher boil than is necessary wastes energy, cooks away moisture, and causes a loss in food flavor and nutrient level.

The minimum pot or pan (vessel) diameter recommended is 6 (15 cm). Use of pots or pans as small as 4 (10 cm) is possible but not recommended.

Preheat For best results, it is extremely important that you preheat your oven to the desired cooking temperature before placing food items in the oven to begin cooking. In many cooking modes, partial power from the broiler is used to bring the oven to the preheat temperature. Therefore, placing food items in the oven during the preheat mode is not recommended. The Viking Rapid Ready Preheat System is engineered so that the oven is brought to the desired set temperature in a manner which will provide the optimum cooking environment based on the selected cooking mode in the shortest possible time.

For instance, the preheat mode for TruConvec is designed to be brought up to the set point temperature in a different manner than the preheat mode for conventional bake. This is because TruConvec is designed for multi-rack baking. So it is extremely critical that all rack positions have reached the desired cooking temperature. As a result, it is normal for oven to take slightly longer for the oven to preheat to 350F in TruConvec mode when compared to the amount of time it takes to preheat the oven cavity to 350F in conventional bake mode.

Also, preheat time can vary based on some external factors such as room temperature and power supply. A significantly colder room temperature or a power supply less than 240 VAC can lengthen the time it takes for the oven to reach the desired set temperature.

Rack Positions Each oven is equipped with two full extension glide racks and one standard rack. All ovens have six rack positions. Position 6 is the farthest from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For best results with conventional baking, DO NOT use more than one rack at a time. It is also recommended, when using two racks, to bake with the racks in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.

Oven Features

Cooking Vessels Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking vessels that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done. Any and all cooking vessels are suitable for use in the range and it is not necessary to replace your present domestic vessels with commercial cookware. This is a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.

Note: When using big pots and/or high flames, it is recommended to use the front burners. There is more room in the front and potential cleanup at rear of appliance due to staining or discoloration will be minimized.

Conventional and Convection Cooking Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency, some foods may be prepared more successfully using the conventional bake setting. For this reason, conventional baking is recommended when preparing baked goods such as custard. The user may find other foods that are also prepared more consistently in conventional bake. This is perfectly normal. Convection cooking is a cooking technique which utilizes fan forced air to circulate heat throughout the entire oven creating the optimum cooking environment. Cooking with convection is intended when performing multi-rack baking and for baking heavier foods. Below are tips which will allow you to get the best results out of your oven when cooking with convection.

As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection recipes, reduce the temperature by 25F (-3.9C) and the cooking time by approximately 10 to 15%.

Cooking times for standard baking and convection baking will be the same. However, if using convection to cook a single item or smaller load, then it is possible to have 10-15% reduction in cooking time. (Remember convection cooking is designed for multi-rack baking or cooking large loads.)

If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes, then it is possible to see a 10-15% reduction in cooking time. This is especially true for large items cooked in the convection roast function.

A major benefit of convection cooking is the ability to prepare foods in quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible. Foods that can be prepared on two of three racks at the same time include: pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls, and frozen convenience foods.

For three-rack baking, use any combination of rack positions 2, 3, 4, and 5. For two-rack baking, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5. Remember that the racks are numbered from bottom to top. See Oven Features illustration on page 18.

Items cooked in a convection function can be easily over-baked. This being the case, it is usually a good idea to pull items out of the oven just before they seem to be done. Items will continue to cook right after they are set out of the oven.

Conventional and Convection Cooking (cont.) Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require

adjustment and testing when converting from standard to convection modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by preparing the recipe in conventional bake. After achieving acceptable results, follow the convection guidelines listed for the similar food type. If the food is not prepared to your satisfaction during this first convection trial, adjust only one recipe variable at a time (cooking time, rack position, or temperature) and repeat the convection test. Continue adjusting one recipe variable at a time until satisfactory results are achieved.

Pan Placement Tips When using large (15" x 13") flat pans or trays that cover most of

the rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results. When baking on more than one rack, it is recommended to use one

of the convection modes and the 2nd and 4th position or the 3rd and 5th position for more even baking. When baking on three racks, use any combination of positions 2, 3, 4, and 5 for more consistent results.

Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans are used in conventional bake. If possible, no pan should be directly above another.

Allow 1 to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for even air circulation.

BAKE (Two-Element Bake) Full power heat is radiated from the bake element in the bottom of the oven cavity and supplemental heat is radiated from the broil element. This function is recommended for single rack baking. Many cookbooks contain recipes to be cooked in the conventional manner. Conventional baking/

roasting is particularly suitable for dishes that require a high temperature. Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.

CONV BAKE (Convection Bake) The bottom element operates at full power, and the top broil element operates at supplemental power. The heated air is circulated by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven providing a more even heat distribution. This even circulation of air equalizes the

temperature throughout the oven cavity and eliminates the hot and cold spots found in conventional ovens. A major benefit of convection baking is the ability to prepare food in quantity using multiple racks a feature not possible in a standard oven.

When roasting using this setting, cool air is quickly replaced, searing meats on the outside and retaining more juices and natural flavor on the inside with less shrinkage. With this heating method, foods can be baked and roasted at the same time with minimal taste transfer, even when different dishes are involved, such as cakes, fish or meat. The hot air system is especially economical when thawing frozen food. Use this setting for baking and roasting.

two-element bake

TRU CONV (TruConvec) The rear element only operates at full power. There is no direct heat from the bottom or top elements. The motorized fan in the rear of the oven circulates air in the oven cavity for even heating. Use this setting for foods that require gentle cooking such as pastries, souffles, yeast breads, quick breads and cakes. Breads, cookies, and other baked goods come out evenly textured with golden crusts. No special bakeware is required. Use this function for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting, and preparation of complete meals. This setting is also recommended when baking large quantities of baked goods at one time.

Baking Tips Make sure the oven racks are in the desired positions before you

turn the oven on. DO NOT open the oven door frequently during baking. If you must

open the door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking time.

Bake to shortest time suggested and check for doneness before adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in the center of the product should come clean when done.

Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe to ensure best results. Cakes, quick breads, muffins, and cookies should be baked in shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid the use of old, darkened pans. Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin- coated pans heat unevenly and will not give uniform baking results.

Solving Baking Problems

Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the chart below for the causes and remedies for the most common problems. It is important to remember that the temperature setting and cooking times you are accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary slightly from those required with this oven. If you find this to be true, it is necessary for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times accordingly.

CONV ROAST* (Convection Roast) The convection element runs in conjunction with the inner and outer broil elements. The reversible convection fan runs at a higher speed in each direction. This transfer of heat (mainly from the convection element) seals moisture inside of large roasts. A time savings is gained over existing, single fan convection roast modes. Use this setting for whole turkeys, whole chickens, hams, etc.

*Note: This function uses a high-speed convection fan for optimum cooking performance. Some noise may be noticed from this high fan speed. This is normal.

Note: You can also roast foods using bake settings. See the Baking section for additional information.

Roasting Tips ALWAYS use pans with low sides such as a broiler pan. The hot air must be allowed to circulate around the item being roasted. DO NOT cover what is being roasted. Convection roasting seals in juices quickly for a moist, tender product. Poultry will have a light, crispy skin and meats will be browned, not dry or burned. Cook meats and poultry directly from the refrigerator. There is no need for meat or poultry to stand at room temperature.

As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection recipes, reduce the temperature by 25F (-3.9C) and the cooking time by approximately 10 to 15%.

ALWAYS roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan using a roasting rack. No basting is required when the fat side is up. DO NOT add water to the pan as this will cause a steamed effect. Roasting is a dry heat process.

Poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a shallow pan. Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during roasting.

For convection roasting, DO NOT use pans with tall sides as this will interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.

If using a cooking bag, foil tent, or other cover, use the conventional bake setting rather than either convection setting.

Roasting

Roasting Tips (cont.) When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the

center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry insert the thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part of the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat, or gristle to ensure an accurate reading. Check the meat temperature halfway through the recommended roasting time. After reading the thermometer once, insert it 12 inch (1.3 cm) further into the meat, then take a second reading. If the second temperature registers below the first, continue cooking the meat.

Roasting times ALWAYS vary according to the size, shape and quality of meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best prepared in the conventional bake setting and may require moist cooking techniques. Remove roasted meats from the oven when the thermometer registers 5F (-15C) to 10 F (-12C) lower than the desired doneness. The meat will continue to cook after removal from the oven. Allow roasts to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting in order to make carving easier.

CONV BROIL* (Convection Broil) The top element operates at full power. This function is exactly the same as regular broiling with the additional benefit of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Smoke is reduced since the airflow also reduces peak temperatures on the food. Use this setting for broiling thick cuts of meats.

*Note: This function uses a high-speed convection fan for optimum cooking performance. Some noise may be noticed from this high fan speed. This is normal.

HI BROIL Heat radiates from both broil elements, located in the top of the oven cavity, at full power. The distance between the foods and the broil elements determines broiling speed. For fast broiling, food may be as close as 2 inches (5 cm) to the broil element or on the top rack. Fast broiling is best for meats where rare to medium doneness is desired. Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts of meat.

MED BROIL Inner and outer broil elements pulse on and off to produce less heat for slow broiling. Allow about 4 inches (10 cm) between the top surface of the food and the broil element. Slow broiling is best for chicken and ham in order to broil food without over- browning it. Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts of meat.

LOW BROIL This mode uses only a fraction of the available power to the inner broil element for delicate top-browning. The inner broil element is on for only part of the time. Use this setting to gently brown meringue on racks 3 or 4 in 3-4 minutes.

Broiling Instructions Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or radiant heat. It is used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and patties. Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the food and the broil element. Choose the rack position based on desired results.

Conventional broiling (LOW, MED or HI BROIL) is most successful for cuts of meat 1-2 inches thick and is also more suitable for flat pieces of meat. Convection broiling has the advantage of broiling food slightly quicker than conventional. Convection broiling of meats produces better results, especially for thick cuts. The meat sears on the outside and retains more juices and natural flavor inside with less shrinkage.

To Use Broil or Convection Broil 1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning

broiler on.

2. Center the food on cold broiler pan. Place broiler pan in oven.

3. Set the oven function selector to desired broiling function and the temperature control knob to Broil.

4. Close the door. There is not a detent to hold the door in the open broil stop position. With open door broiling the broil element does not cycle on and off. With closed door broiling the broil element might cycle on and off if an extended broiling time is required. A built-in smoke "eliminator" in the top of the oven helps reduce smoke and odors.

low broil

Broiling Tips ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed

to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire.

To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge. Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to

prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray. Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time,

season, and turn. Season second side just before removing. ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning or removing

food. Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. NEVER pierce meat with a

fork, as this allows the juices to escape. Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food.

Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated oven after broiling. While pan is hot, place damp paper towel over grid. Drizzle with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour water over grid. This will make cleaning of the pan easier, or the broiler pan can be lined with aluminum foil to make cleaning easier. Be sure the foil extends up the side of the pan. Although it is not recommended, the grid can also be covered with foil. Be sure to slit openings to conform with the openings in the grid so melted fat can drain through to prevent spattering, smoking, or the possibility of grease fire.

Rack Positions for Broiling Note: Position 6 is the closest to the broiler and position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom.

Convection Dehydrate/Defrost

Convection Dehydrate This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits and vegetables. 1. Prepare the food as recommended.

2. Arrange the food on drying racks (not included with the oven; contact a local store handling speciality cooking utensils).

3. Set the appropriate low temperature and turn the selector to TRU CONV.

Convection Defrost 1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.

2. Set the temperature control to OFF.

3. Turn the selector to TRU CONV.

CAUTION To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours.

CAUTION You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to ensure that it does not catch fire.

NOTICE DO NOT turn the Temperature Control on during defrosting. Turning the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food without the heat.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Burner Head If ports on burner head are clogged, clean with a straight pin. DO NOT enlarge or distort the ports. DO NOT use a toothpick to clean the ports. When replacing burner head, carefully align the 2 tabs underneath the burner head with the outside edge of burner base. Make sure the tabs are not aligned with the igniter and the burner cap is level.

Note: For stubborn stains, use a non abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite pad.

Cleaning Tip: For difficult to clean burner caps and heads, place parts in a zip seal bag with ammonia.

Burner Base The base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleanser, or powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak the area with a hot towel to loosen the material, then use a wooden nylon spatula. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape the aluminum base. Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top surface. Replace burner cap, burner head, and grates after drying thoroughly.

Control Panel DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy water and a soft clean cloth.

Oven Surfaces Several different finishes have been used in your oven. Your oven features a self-clean cycle for the oven interior. See the Self-Clean Cycle section for complete instructions. NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS, CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.

36

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your range must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning, make sure all controls are in the OFF position. Disconnect power if you are going to clean thoroughly with water.

Surface Burners

* Note: When replacing burner head, make sure the tabs on the burner head line up with the notches in the burner base.

Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they occur and before they get a chance to burn in and cook solid. In the event of a spill-over, follow these steps: Allow the burner and grate to cool to a safe temperature level. Lift off the burner grate. Wash in warm soapy water. Remove the burner cap and burner head and clean.

Burner Caps The surface burner caps should be routinely removed and cleaned. ALWAYS clean the burner caps after a spill-over. Keeping the burner caps clean will prevent improper ignition and uneven flames. To clean, pull burner cap straight up from the burner base. Wipe off surface burner caps with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth after each use. Use a non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite pad for cooked-on foods. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. For best cleaning and to avoid possible rusting, DO NOT clean in dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.

Control Knobs MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem.

Stainless Steel Parts All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.

Oven Racks Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured with a soap-filled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS OR RACK SUPPORT USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could sustain damage due to the extreme heat of the Self-Clean cycle.

Power Failure If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure. Make sure the oven control is in the OFF position. Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will function properly without any adjustments. A brown-out may or may not affect range operation, depending on how severe the power loss is. If the range is in the self-clean cycle when the power failure occurs, wait until power is restored and allow door to unlock automatically. Turn all controls off and restart self-clean cycle again, according to instructions.

WARNING POWER FAILURE WARNING

Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal injury in attempting to light and extinguish the burner, the grill should, not under any circumstances, be used during a power failure. The grill burner control should always remain in the OFF position during a power failure.

This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn-off soil and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors associated with the soil burn-off. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the self-clean cycle. The door latch is automatically activated after selecting the self-clean setting. The latch ensures that the door cannot be opened while the oven interior is at clean temperatures.

Before starting the Self-Clean cycle: 1. Remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the oven.

The high heat generated during the cleaning cycle can discolor, warp, and damage these items. DO NOT use foil or liners in the oven. During the self-clean cycle, foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

2. Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. NEVER use oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised portions of the door.

3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very difficult to clean if not removed first. Clean the door up to the gasket, the door frame, and up to 2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.

DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the touch!

During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may be some odor and smoking from the curing of the binder in the high- density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high temperatures.

KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.

To start the Self-Clean cycle: 1. Close the door completely.

2. Turn the oven selector knob clockwise to the SELF CLEAN mode.

3. Turn the temperature control knob past the clean setting until the knob stops. At this time, the clean indicator light will come on. Within 30 seconds the automatic door latch engages and the oven indicator light comes on. The oven indicator light will remain on until the oven reaches the self-clean temperature and will then cycle on and off during the self-clean cycle. When the oven reaches the elevated temperature needed for self-clean, the door lock indicator light comes on.

4. The door lock indicator light will remain on until the self-clean is completed or interrupted and the oven temperature drops to a safe temperature. A complete cycle is approximately 3-1/2 hours with an additional 30 minutes needed for the oven to cool down enough for the door latch to disengage.

Note: A fan noise will be heard during the self-clean cycle and will continue to run for the 3-1/2 hour duration of the self-clean cycle.

5. When the cycle is completed, turn both the oven selector and temperature control knob to the OFF position. When the oven has completely cooled, open door and remove any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp cloth.

To stop the Self-Clean cycle: To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, turn both the temperature control knob and the oven function selector knob to OFF. When the oven temperature drops to a safe temperature, the automatic door latch will release and the oven door can be opened. When the oven has completely cooled, remove any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp sponge or cloth.
