IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE • Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface element. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean.

Setting the Clock and Minute Timer To Set the Clock When the range is first plugged in, or when the power supply to the range has been interrupted, the display will flash "12:00". 1. Push CLOCK. 2. Within 5 seconds, push and hold the UP or DOWN ARROW until the correct time of day appears in the display.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the element.
Before Setting Oven Controls Oven Vent Location The oven is vented through the center of the left rear element for the left oven and the center of the right rear element for the right oven. When an oven is on, warm air is released through the vent.

Oven Cleaning (Right Oven) During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance. DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil.
Oven Cleaning (Right Oven, continued) Use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. To Start the Self-Clean Cycle *We recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle for average to heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS LATER.
Only lift the top high enough to allow the support rod to rest in place under the front of the cooktop. 2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water. 3. To lower the top, lift the top slightly and lower the rod. Lower the range top into the range frame.

4. Keep pulling the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the range to completely disengage the hinge levers. 5. To reinstall the oven door, reverse steps 1 through 4. Make sure the hinge supports are fully engaged before unlocking the hinge levers.

Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.
3. Align front edge of light cover with inside lip of end cap. Lower rear of cover into place and snap down. 4. Turn power back on at the main source (or plug the range back in). To Change the Oven Light The oven light automatically turns on when the door is opened (some models).
Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the oven rack is level. Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range. If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
