Where can I find the model number, serial number, and gas type for my range?

The model number, serial number, and gas type information is located in two places:

• A sticker that shows the model number followed by either an N (for natural gas) or L (for LP gas), and the serial number. This sticker can be found when the oven door is open.
• The rating plate, showing the model number, serial number, gas type and gas BTU input ratings for each burner, as well as necessary information from ETL test labs, is located behind the kick-plate. It will be necessary to remove the kick-plate to access this information.

---

What should I do if I smell gas?

• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch.
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone and follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
• Shut off gas to the appliance.
• Extinguish any open flames.
• If the odor persists, immediately call the gas supplier.

---

What should I do in case of an electrical failure?

If a gas control knob is turned ON and there is no electric power to operate the electronic igniters on the range burners, turn OFF the gas control knob and wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate before lighting the range burner manually.

---

How do I light the range burners during a power failure?

Carefully hold a lighted match to the burner ports and turn the gas control knob to HI. You can manually light the standard range burners only, and each must be lit with a match. The gas oven, grill, Thermo-griddle™, and infrared oven broiler burners cannot be lit manually during a power failure.

---

What are the electrical requirements for gas self-clean range models?

All gas self-clean range models require an electrical circuit rated at 120 volts, 60 Hz., and 20 Amps. It is recommended that a dedicated circuit servicing this appliance be provided.

---

What should I do if a burner goes out and gas escapes?

Open a window or door immediately and do not attempt to use the range until the gas has had time to dissipate. Wait at least 5 minutes before using the range. If a burner goes out and gas escapes, turn the knob control to OFF, open a window or door and do not attempt to use the range until the gas has had time to dissipate.

---

What should I do if personal clothing catches fire?

Drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

---

What should I do before baking and broiling?

Turn on the oven and broiler burners one at a time for 20 to 30 minutes each. This burns off the manufacturing oils used by the factory. Turn the oven burner on to 450°F and then the broiler burner on to “Broil”. Be sure to turn on the ventilator above your range while these burners are on, as there will be an odor.

---

How do I operate the Power-Flo™ burners?

To turn the rangetop burner on, push in on the control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the “LITE” position. An audible clicking sound will be heard. When the gas has been ignited by the electronic spark igniter, turn the knob to the desired setting.

---

What should I do if the igniter continues to click after the burner has been lit?

Turn the knob to a setting other than LITE, or HI. If the problem still persists, call the Service Hotline at 866-402-4600.

---

What should I do when turning on any range top burner?

Be sure to stop at the “LITE” position before turning the burner to a flame setting for cooking. If the burner is not lit and it is turned beyond the “LITE” position, to HI, MEDIUM, or LO, there will be a burst of flame when the burner does light which could cause burns or damage to the surrounding countertop.

---

What type of cookware is recommended for the best results?

For best results it is recommended to use Professional Cookware. This type of utensil can be found at your finer department stores, specialty cooking shops, or restaurant supply stores. If using regular cookware be very careful if pans have plastic handles, as our Power-Flo™ burners can flame up on the outside of the pan and melt or bubble the handles.

---

How do I use the oven for cooking or low temperature?

• To keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature, set the oven to the temperature suggested in the cart. Rare meat must be eaten when it is removed from the oven, as it continues cooking from its own heat. To keep food moist, it must be covered with aluminum foil or a lid.
• To dehydrate food, follow suggestions in a recipe.
• To warm plates, check with the dish ware manufacturer for the temperature for the recommended.
• To use the oven as a low cooker set the oven control knob to 255ºF. Place the food in the oven in a pan with a tight-fitting lid and follow recipes for this type of cooking.
• To thaw uncooked frozen food, set the oven control knob to “warm”. Be sure the food is tightly wrapped in foil, thaw the food just enough to handle it, and cook immediately. Do not refreeze.
• To thaw frozen cooked food, set the oven knob to 170ºF. Loosen the freezer wrapping and do not use plastic wrap or wax paper in the oven.

---

How do I set the oven for convection broil and regular broil?

Decide if you are going to use BROIL or CONVECTION BROIL. If you are going to use regular broil turn the Oven Control knob To “BROIL”. To use Convection Broil turn the Oven Control Knob to “BROIL” and press the CONVECTION button to operate the fan. The burner will ignite after the gas reaches the burner. The “oven on” indicator light will come on to let you know that the broiler is currently on.

---

What should I pay special attention to when setting the Oven Control Knob on “BROIL”?

If you set the knob past the “BROIL” setting, the burner will not ignite.

---

Why does the HEATING indicator light on the valve panel cycle on and off when broiling?

During the broiling process, the infra-red burner produces such an intense heat that the burner will cycle on and off to maintain an efficient yet safe interior cooking environment. The cycling feature prevents the burner from producing range-damaging heat.

---

What rack position should I use when broiling?

The rack position depends on the type and thickness of the food. Thick pieces of meat or poultry (1” or more) would typically be broiled or convection broiled on rack position 3. Steaks, chops, and hamburger would typically be broiled on rack position 4. If top browning casseroles or bread, the thickness of the food would indicate the position, but they would typically be browned on rack position 2.

---

What is convection broil?

Convection broil is cooking by intense infrared radiant heat supplied by the broil burner while fan at the back of the oven circulates hot air in a continuous pattern around the food. Convection broil cooks the food with better results for thicker cuts of meat. The meat sears on the outside and retains more juices and natural flavor inside with less shrinkage.

---

What foods are suitable for convection broiling?

• Thicker Cuts of Meat (1” or more)
• Thicker, Irregular-sized Pieces of Poultry (1” or more)
• Thicker, Pieces of Fish (1” or more)
• Top Browning: Casseroles and Breads

---

What foods are suitable for broiling?

• Appetizers
• Meats, Poultry, Fish (under 1”)
• Top Browning: Casseroles and breads

---

Where should the broiler pan be placed for best results?

The broiler pan for both broiling and convection broiling should be placed all the way to the back of the oven and centered on the rack.

---

How do I use a meat thermometer to broil and convection broil?

To accurately determine the doneness of a thick steak or chop (1-1/2) inches thick or more), use a meat thermometer. Insert the point of the thermometer into the side of the meat to the center. Cook the first to 90°F for rare meat. Cook the first side 100°F for medium to well done. Cook the second side to the desired degree for the doneness you want, 140°F to 145°F for rare, and 150°F to 155°F for medium and 160°F to 165°F for well done. If you are cooking pork, cook to 160°F.

---

What should I not cover the grid with when broiling?

Do not cover the grid with aluminum foil. This slotted grid allows the grease drippings to flow into the bottom of the pan keeping it away from the intense heat of the infra-red broiler burner which helps to minimize the smoking and spattering of the grease.

---

What should I set a minute timer for when broiling?

Set a minute timer for the minimum time to check the food.

---

What should I do after half the total cooking time?

After half the total cooking time, turn the food over only once. It is not necessary to turn over thin foods (fillet of fish, Ham slices, etc.), but liver slices must be turned over.

---

What should I not use when top browning?

When top browning use metal or glass-ceramic bake ware, and do not use heat-proof Glass or pottery as this type of glassware cannot withstand the intense heat of the broiler burner.

---

Can I use the broiler burner and the bake burner at the same time?

You cannot use the broiler burner and the bake burner at the same time, and when one is on, the other cannot be turned on.

---

How do I use the oven rotisserie?

• Place the vertical positioning rod into the hole located on the bottom, left side of the oven can.
• Place your rotisserie spit-rod with your meat prepared between the two prongs on the U-bracket, and swing into place on the right side wall of the oven can.
• Place the broil pan directly beneath the meat.
• Close oven door.
• Set the oven to Broil mode.
• Press the rotisserie button on the left side of the front panel which will activate the rotisserie motor.
• For Convection Rotisserie, simply follow the same steps and first press the rotisserie button, followed by the convection button.

---

When the oven is on for SELF-CLEAN, what else may be used?

When the oven is on for SELF-CLEAN, only the RANGETOP burners may be used.

---

What should I do before turning the oven to self-clean mode?

Wipe up the excessive Food Soil which will minimize any excessive smoke or flames that may occur.

---

Is it common to see smoke and/or flames during the SELF-CLEAN cycle?

It is common to see smoke and/or flames during the SELF-CLEAN cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.

---

What may remain inside the oven at the end of the SELF-CLEAN cycle?

At the end of the SELF-CLEAN cycle, some gray ash or burned residue may remain inside the oven which is a mineral deposit that does not burn or melt. The amount of ash depends on how heavily soiled the oven was before the oven was cleaned, and it is easily removed, once has cooled, using a clamp paper towel, sponge, or cloth.

---

How should I clean smoke residue that remains on the front frame?

Wipe off any smoke residue that remains on the front frame with Formula 409® or Fantastik®. If stain remains, use a mild liquid cleanser, and the amount of smoke stain is directly related to the amount of food soil left in the time of self-cleaning, so clean the oven often.

---

What happens to the oven door during self-clean?

When the clean cycle starts, the lock light turns on, and the automatic door lock cycle begins. Do not attempt to open the door when the lock light is on, but you can stop the cycle by turning to OFF position. The lock light will turn off only after the oven has cooled below 550°F, and the automatic door lock has completed its cycle to the open position.

---

What should I do before self-cleaning the oven?

• Remove all utensils and racks.
• Clean the oven front frame and outer door edges, and wipe up large spill overs and grease.
• Be sure the light bulbs and glass covers are in place.
• Turn on the ventilator hood above the range and leave it on until after the oven has completed the self-clean cycle.
• Wipe out puddles of grease and any loose soil that can be easily removed.
• Remove any soil that is outside the door seal area, as this appliance is designed to clean the oven interior and that portion of the door that is inside the oven.

---

How do I set the oven for self-clean?

---

How should I clean the range top?

Turn off all the burners and allow the grates to cool before starting to clean the rangetop. If you wipe off any part of the rangetop while it is hot do so carefully as using a wet sponge or cloth can result in steam burns.

---

How should I clean the burner grates?

When lifting the grates, be careful as they are heavy, and place them on a protected surface, so they won’t scratch the surface they are laid on. When cool they may be placed in the dishwasher, or wipe while on the rangetop using hot soapy water, then rinsed and wiped dry. The occasional use of mild abrasive cleaners such as Bon-Ami®, Soft Scrub® may be used, and apply with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Be careful when wiping an area where the porcelain has popped off, as the edges may be sharp.

---

How do I keep burners clean?

For proper lighting and performance keep the burners clean, and it is necessary to clean the burners if they do not light even through the igniter clicks, if there has been a severe boil over, or when the flame does not burn blue. Be certain all burner knobs are in the OFF position before attempting to clean the burners. The burners have been designed for ease in cleaning, so when the grates and burners are cool, remove the grate, and the Burner Cap and the Flame Ring can easily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly, and a bristle brush can be used to clean out the toothed burner ports, if necessary.

---

Is disassembly of the Simmer Ring recommended?

Disassembly of the Simmer Ring is not recommended, however, it may become necessary to do so if the ports remain clogged after normal cleaning. If it is necessary to disassemble the Simmer Ring from the Base, remove the Hex Nut at the top of the Simmer Ring, clean the Simmer Ring with hot soapy water using a soft wire or plastic bristle brush then dry thoroughly, and re-assemble the parts using the Hex Nut.

---

What should I make sure of after cleaning the Simmer Ring?

After cleaning, it is important to make sure the Locating Notch at the bottom of the Simmer Ring is properly aligned with the corresponding Mark in the Base and that the Locating Marks in the Cap are aligned with the marks in the Ring. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance.

---

---

How do I clean the control knobs?

The rangetop and oven control knobs are made of die-cast metal with plastic inserts for easier gripping, and they can be cleaned in hot, soapy water. To remove the Knobs from the control panel, grasp the knob and pull straight forward. Wash, do not soak, then rinse and dry thoroughly. It is important to replace these knobs on the correct gas valve on the control panel.

---

How do I clean the low back or high shelf?

Depending on the model, these are constructed of either all stainless steel or a combination of stainless steel and glass, and use the mildest cleaning procedure first – hot soapy water, rinse and dry. If the panel has food soil remaining, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®, Simple Green®, or Formula 409®. For hard to clean soil use a stainless steel cleaner such as, Bon-Ami®, Cameo®, or Bar Keepers Friend, and apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain, and do not use a steel wool pad because it will scratch the surface. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper, rubbing in the direction of the grain. After cleaning use a stainless steel polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic®.
