Safety Instructions

Do not operate surface burners without utensils in place.
Allow elements and burner surfaces to cool before cleaning.
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.
Loose clothing of flammable material (pot holders) could
ignite if brought in contact with hot burners and may
cause severe burns.
Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result inburns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating
elements. Do not use towels or other bulky cloths as pot
holders.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of
elements on. With three or four elements turned on,
surface temperatures are high. Exercise care whentouching the cooktop.

(All Models)
Important! Save these instructions for the local
inspector’s use.
Warning! Prior to installing this appliance, read the
Safety Instructions as they relate to Installation on pages
4 through 6 of this manual. Failure to follow these instruc­tions could result in serious electric hazard, risk of fire,
and/or personal injury.
Models 1954 and 1955 are equipped with a 240 volt,
standard range power cord & plug. See page 4 for amp
ratings of each model.
Models 1956 comes with a 120 volt, 10 amp power cord
& plug.
Use this appliance for its intended use, as described in thismanual.

Fire (Optional Exhaust Hood)
Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good
venting and to avoid grease fires.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating theroom.
Do not assume that you know how to operate all parts of
the range. Some features may work differently from thoseof your previous range.
Do not climb, stand or hang on the door or range top.
This can damage the range or tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.

GreaseGrease is flammable and should be handled carefully.
Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the range invent fans. Don’t leave cans of drippings sit around therange; refrigerate or dispose of promptly. Let quantities
of hot fat (a pan of deep fat for example) cool before
attempting to move or handle it. Grease fires can often
be extinguished by quickly putting on the pan lid or bycovering with baking soda. Do not attempt to extinguishwith water because this will spread the fire.
Never pick up a flaming pan.

Children
Do not leave children alone in the area where your range
is in use. They should never be allowed to stand or sit on
any part of this appliance.
Instruct your small children that the range is not a toy andcould hurt them. As your children grow up, teach them theproper and safe use of the range.
Children must be taught not to use the oven door as a
stepping stool to reach the cabinet above, as it may resultin an injury.

Oven

Stand away from range when opening the oven door. Hot
air or steam which escapes can cause burns.
Do not heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressure
could build up and the container could burst, causing
injury or damage to the range.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
Keep oven free from grease build up.
Place oven rack in desired position while oven is cool.
If rack must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder
touch heating elements in the oven.
Pull out oven rack to the rack stop to reduce chance ofburns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven.
When using cooking or roasting bags in oven, follow the
manufacturer’s directions.
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

Caution
Do not store items of interest to children on console
above the range or on the back of the cooking surface.
Children climbing to reach items could be seriously
injured.
When cleaning cycle is on, the oven door and cooking
surface will be hot. Keep children away from the range asa safety precaution.

Storage
Do not store gasoline, flammable vapors or materials, etc.,
in the oven, storage drawer, warmer or around the appliancearea.

Hot Surface

Aluminum Foil

Exercise caution. Surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
Electric elements may be hot even when they appear dark
in color.

Do not use aluminum foil to cover oven racks. This will
restrict heat circulation.
3

Plastics

Service

All plastics are vulnerable to heat, although some willwithstand higher temperatures than others. Keep allplastics away from parts of the range which may becomeslightly more than warm when the range is in operation.

Do not repair or service any part of the range unlessspecifically recommended in this manual. All otherservicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Disconnect the range from wall receptacle, fuse, or breaker
before performing service.

Self-Cleaning Oven

SafetyThe 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 on self-cleaning ovens prior
to clean­ing. Damage may occur to oven finish at hightemperatures. Remove aluminum or plastic utensils, foodor combustible materials from oven and cooktop before
self-cleaning. (See Self-Cleaning – Page 15)
NOTE: Oven cleaner will not harm porcelain oven but
should not be used in conjuction with selfcleaning.

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy
and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushion
vinyl or carpeting. When moving the range on this type offlooring use care.
If your range must stand beside a refrigerator, allow atleast 2” between the two appliances for air circulation. The
heat from the range may affect refrigerator performance.
Make sure that all the packing materials have been removed
and that all controls are in the off position before plugging
in the power cord.

Surface Cooking
Use proper pan size. Select pans large enough to cover theelement. The use of undersized pans will expose a portionof the element which may result in burns, ignition ofclothing or spillovers directly on element.
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat setting.
Boil over or boil dry conditions could result in a fire.
Do not use glass or glazed ceramic cookware on thesurface burners, as sudden change in temperature may
break them.
Always turn off surface unit, before removing pots orpans.
Turn handle of the pan toward the center of the cooktop,
without extending over nearby elements. This will reduce
the possibility of accidentally overturning the pan.
Let hot pans cool in a safe place, out of the reach of young
children. Never set hot pots on a combustible surface.
Do not use decorative metal covers on electric surface
elements. A covered element, when turned on, could resultin a burn or damage to the element.

Safety Instructions – Gas
Important Instructions
Do not use range as a heater. Never use the range as a
kitchen heater. Prolonged use of the range without adequate
ventilation can be hazardous. Oven controls and top burners
are not designed for home heating and component failuresthat may result from such abuse are definitely not covered by
the warranty.
WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed
plumber or gas fitter, when installed within the Common­
wealth of Massachusetts. Massachusetts approval code
#G1-1202-18.

FryingUse as little oil as possible. Filling the pan too full of oil
can cause spillovers when food is added.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on
frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot oil
to bubble up. Spillovers, fire and burns from splatters could
occur.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent
overheating oil beyond smoking point.

#1 This installation must conform with local codes andordinances. In the absense of local codes, installations must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1–latest edition (**) or CAN/CGAB149–latest edition (***) installation codes.

Deep Fryer
Use extreme caution when moving a hot grease kettle ordisposing of hot grease.

Ventilating Hoods#2 Input ratings shown on the serial/rating plate are forelevations up to 2,000 feet (609.6 m). For elevations above
2,000 feet (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% foreach 1,000 feet (304.8 cm) above sea level.

Clean ventilation hood frequently — grease should not beallowed to accumulate on hood or filter. When flaming
foods under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, when
operating, may spread flame.

Mobile Home Installation

Flame Size: Top burner flame size should be adjusted so
it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
Excessive flame is hazardous.

The installation of this range must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards,
Title 24 CFR. Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard
for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD,Part 280); or when such standard is not applicable, theStandard for Manufactured Homes Installations 1982
(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups),
ANSI A225.1q/NFPA 501A* or with local codes.
The installation of this range must conform with thecurrent standards CAN/CSA-Z240–latest edition*** orwith local codes. When this range is installed in a mobile
home, it must be secured to the floor during transit. Any
method of securing the range is adequate as long as it
conforms to the standards listed above.
Note: The metal chassis of the range MUST be earthgrounded in order for the control panel and burner spark
ignition to work. Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the metal chassis of range isearth-grounded.
Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:* National Fire Protection Association

Arlington, Virginia 22209***Canadian Standard Association
178 Rexdale Boulevard
Rexdale (Toronto), Ontario M9W 1R3

Use of High Flame: When using a high flame, neverleave any pans unattended on this heat setting for long
periods. Hot oil is particularly hazardous since it canbecome hot enough to ignite.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air
to the range.
Any openings in the wall, behind the range or the floor
under the range must be sealed.

Venting
Never block the vents (air openings of the range). They
provide the air inlet and outlet which is necessary for therange to operate properly with correct combustion. Theoven vent is located at the rear of the main top.

Type of Gas
Natural and LP Gas (propane). Ranges are factoryassembled for natural gas unless otherwise specified andcannot be used with LP Gas without some adjustments.
Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified
serviceman or installer for the type of gas on which it is to
be used. (See Conversion, page 12).
Note: In this manual, propane is referred to as LP(liquid petroleum).
Gas hook up locations - Model 1955: The 1/2” steel gas
elbow exits the stove on the right side, 34” off the floor.
On Model 1956, the connection is located in the center,2” off the floor.

Floor Covering

Installing Your Range

Never install a range over inferior kitchen carpeting, vinyl
tile or linoleum. These should be able to withstand at least
175°F without shrinking, warping or discoloring.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician in accordance with the installation
instructions and local building codes.

Curtains

Power cord installation

If your range is near a window, use an appropriate window
treatment. Do not use long curtains which could blow over
the top burners and create a fire hazard.

Finding a gas leak is usually not a“do it yourself” procedure.

The new U.S. revised electrical code states that all new
construction must use a FOUR WIRE range power cord.
Existing construction may use a three wire range power
cord. NOTE: The difference is, a four wire cord has aseparate ground. A three wire cord is grounded throughthe neutral.
Installation, adjustment and service of this range mustbe performed only by a qualified gas range installer orelectrical serviceman. This is necessary to insure proper
operation of the range and to avoid the possibility ofdamage to the range or injury to the users.

Some leaks can only be found with the controls in the“on” position exposing the user to serious burns. Neveruse a match or flame to locate a leak. Turn off the gas to
the range and call a qualified serviceman.

Warning: Be careful when reaching into storage cabinets
above range while it is in operation. One might accidentallycontact a hot burner when using a hand for support or have
one’s clothing come in contact with top burner flame.

If You Smell Gas
If this is a new range installation, your installer has notdone a proper job of checking for leaks. Connections canloosen in transportation. If the range connections are not
perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and therefore afaint gas smell.

5Location
If possible, the range should be located to avoid the main
“traffic path” through the kitchen or where an open door
might block a passageway or create an awkward working
situation. If possible, it should be so located where cabinet
working space is available on either side. Drafty locations
should be avoided to prevent gas burner outage and poor
air circulation.

Temperatures
To cook, you must have heat. Some parts of the range are
therefore going to get warm or even hot. Consider this inchoosing a range location. Do not leave children alone orunattended near the range when it is in use. Let burner
grids and other surfaces cool before touching them orleaving them where children can reach them.

ClearancesThis range may be installed with adjacent surfaces
touching the base cabinets and the back flush with the backwall. Models 1955 and 1956 gas ranges require a CGA/
AGA approved stainless steel gas flex line or a flexible
copper coil 1/2” in diameter and at least three feet long so
the range can be moved for service.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching overheated surface burners, cabinet storage above the range
should be avoided. If overhead storage is unavoidable,clearances between the cooking surface and unprotectedwood or metal overhead cabinets must be no less than32”. The clearances on electric models between the
cooktop and unprotected overhead cupboards is 30”. Thisdistance may be reduced to 24” when the bottom woodor metal cabinets are protected by not less than 1/4” thickflame retarding millboard covered with not less than No.

It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with the
installation clearances specified in this manual.

Note: Clearances specified to combustible construction(walls and materials) are based on a temperature rise ofwood resulting from appliance operation. These clearances
are suitable for walls of studding, lath and plaster or othertypes of combustible material which have a density of
20 lbs. per cu. ft. or more. No evaluation of clearances
has been made for low density cellulose, fibre board andsimilar materials which have a density of less than 20 lbs.
per cu. ft., nor to plastic tiles or sheeting.

Cabinet Openings
This range will fit into a 30 1/4” cabinet opening.

Leveling Your Range
Place rack in oven. Place level on rack, first side to side,then front to back.

The maximum depth of upper cabinets installed above therange is 13”.
See the Minimum Clearances Chart for electric and gas
models below.

If the range is not level, adjust leveling legs up or down withpliers or your fingers until range is level.
NOTE: Oven must be level for satisfactory baking
performance.
6Electric Cooktop

Cookware
The best cooking results and the most economical use ofelectricity will be achieved by using smooth, flat-bottom
pans. Pans should be at least the same size or slightly
larger than the cooking area. Ceramic cookware suitable
for stovetop cooking may be used. If pans smaller than thesize of the heating element are used, care should be taken
as the handles may get hot.
Built into each element, is a safety device which protects theelement from overheating. If using pans which are not ideal,
for example concave or convex bottom pans with shinybases, or those with ridged or grooved bottoms, the thermal
limiter can cause the element to switch off and on duringcooking, which means that food will take longer to cook.
Very thin, badly dented, and distorted pans with unevenbottoms should not be used.
Pans with very shiny or reflective bottoms should not beused.
Never place utensils with a skirt (e.g. a wok) on the heatedarea.
Pans should not have rough bottoms. Do not slide pots on
the ceramic glass cooking surface, as this may mark or
scratch the cooktop.
If pans with aluminum bottoms are slid across the cooking
surface, metal marks could result. Such marks are easily
cleaned with any non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner,
provided they are removed immediately and not allowed
to bake onto the surface.
Any guidelines or recommendations given by the saucepanor cooking utensil manufacturer should be followed.

Surface Elements
Controls
Control knobs must be pushed
in before turning them to asetting. They can be set anywhere
between MAX and MIN.
The controls for the surface
elements provide infinite heatsettings. The numbers on the dial
serve as a reference. The control can be turned to any
setting to provide the exact heat required.
Note: The “Push to Turn Safety Control Knobs” on
the range are designed for child safety and to prevent
accidental operation.
Before using your glass cooktop for the first time: turnthe elements on max without a pan for 5 to 8 minutes
or until smoking stops. This smoking is normal andnon toxic.

High Speed Radiant - Electric Top Burners

Consists of a set of special Radiant Heater coils
embedded in thermal insulation. The element is designed
for fast heat response. You can see it light up almost
immediately.
Each element is fitted with a thermal limiter to ensure
the ceramic glass does not exceed the maximum Safe
operating temperature. You may notice the element goingon and off a number of times during use. This is a normal
occurrence.
To maximize the efficiency of this type of element wesuggest you use it similarly to your previous burner. Turn tomaximum until the desired temperature is reached, then turnit down to the setting that best maintains the desired heat.

Selection & Use of Pots & Pans
Flat Bottoms
Thick, flat bottoms absorb and distribute the heat fromthe element more evenly. Thin, uneven bottoms wasteenergy and create hot spots that may burn the food onto
cookware.
Glass cooktops require heavy gauge flat bottom pans forbest cooking results.
Check flatness with a ruler or straight edge. See figure 7.

• H or 9 – To start foods cooking and to bring foods
to a boil.
• 8 -7– To hold a rapid boil.
• 6 -5– To fry foods.
• 4– To cook large amounts of vegetables• 3 -2– To keep food cooking after starting it
on a lower setting.
•L– To keep foods warm until ready to serve.

Hot Lights
Hot lights are provided in the glass of all smooth top ranges.
Light glows when a burner becomes hot and shuts off when
the burner has cooled.

Controls

Figure 7

The radiant heating elements are controlled by a commonlyused Infinite Heat Switch that works on the principle ofpercent on, percent off. For example, when the switch isturned to the medium setting, the element will be on only
50% of the time. Because of the fast heat-up with these typesof elements, you will notice the units switching on and off.

Pot Diameter
Select element to match pan diameter. The pot should
be slightly larger than the element to obtain best energy
usage, and avoid spillovers flowing directly onto element.
7Care and Cleaning

Do not use pans extending more than one inch beyond
element, except while canning. See figure 8.

To keep the exterior chrome trim in spotless condition,wipe with a warm soapy cloth. Do not clean hot ceramic
surface with a soapy cloth, use automotive chromecleaner on cool surface.
See page 28 for complete cleaning guide.

Caution - Product Damage Hazard
Before using any cleaners, ensure that it is suitable forapplication on chrome trim.
Make sure that the glass ceramic surface has cooled down
before applying any cleaning materials.

Figure 8
Small diameter pans waste energy and spillage can flow
onto element. This increases chance of fire and burns.
Use non-stick coated cookware, for easier clean up.
Glass or pyroceram pans should be used only as the
manufacturer describes.
Pressure cookers, deep fat fryers, canners, etc. must be of
the correct size and have flat bottoms to work properly.

1. Saving on Cleaning Time• Make sure the bottom of pots and pans and cooking area
are clean and dry.
S elect correct heat settings and use saucepans large
enough to accommodate food and liquid to eliminate
boilovers and splattering.
• Wipe up food spills and splatters from adjacent heatingareas before cooking.
• Do not drag or slide pots along the surface.

Energy Tips
Use cookware with tight-fitting lids, and flat bottoms
which completely cover the heated portion of the element.
Watch foods when bringing them to cooking temperaturesat high heat. When food reaches cooking temperature,
reduce heat to lowest setting that will keep it cooking.
Use residual heat with surface cooking. For example,
when cooking eggs in the shell, bring water to a boil,
then turn element off, and allow heat in water to complete
cooking.
When boiling water for tea or coffee, heat only the amountneeded. Do not use a wire trivet or any other kind of heatretarding pad between the pan and the element.

2. Daily Care• U se a ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner, available
at supermarkets and major department stores. As thecleaner-conditioner cleans, it leaves a protective coatingof silicone on the smooth surface, which helps prevent
scratches and abrasions in which food particles cancollect. It also helps prevent the build-up of mineraldeposits, and will make future cleaning easier.
• Apply a dab of cleaner-conditioner in the center of eachheated area to be cleaned.
• For normal cleaning start with about 1 ml (1/8 tsp) of
cleaner-conditioner, and apply more if needed.
• Clean unit with a damp clean paper towel. To remove
more stubborn spots, use a slightly dampened nonimpregnated plastic or nylon pad specially made fornon-stick utensils.
• Wipe off this application with another clean, damp paper
towel, and wipe dry.
• U se liquid cleansers to remove any discoloration,
especially in hard water areas. A non-impregnated plastic
or nylon pad specially made for non-stick utensils may
also be used with these cleaners. Do not apply excessive
pressure while rubbing. This could cause scratches overtime.
• Apply cleaner-conditioner and polish with paper towel
or a soft dry cloth.
• Any smearing or hazing on the surface may be removed
with a lightly dampened paper towel, and polished witha soft dry cloth.
• Do not use a sponge or a dishcloth. They may leave afilm of soil-laden detergent on the heating area which
may turn brown and resemble a discolouration the nexttime the area is heated. If that should happen, cleanerconditioner will remove it.

Things Not To Do On A Ceramic Cooktop• D o not leave pots unattended or elements ON for
extended periods of time. If an element is mistakenly left
on for an extended period of time the built in thermal
limiter will ensure that the heat build-up is insufficient
to cause any adverse effects.
• D o not cook directly on the ceramic cooktop. The
surface of the cooktop can be damaged, and will be moredifficult to clean.
• Do not use wire trivets mats or aluminum foil. They
offer no cooking advantages and can damage the ceramic
glass surface. Never place plastic or any other material
which might melt on any part of the cooktop.
• Do not use the cooktop as a chopping board or cutting
surface. This type of use can scratch the surface.
• Do not leave heavy spills during cooking. Turn heat
off and allow surface to cool down. Remove the spills
with a clean, damp cloth (no detergent), taking care to
avoid burning fingers. If there is detergent in the cloth,
you may leave a layer of soil-laden film on the cooktop
surface, which can result in discolouration next time theelement is switched “on”. If a detergent film builds up,
use a ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner.

Warning

Caution

Personal Injury Hazard•N ote: If a wet paper towel is used to remove spillovers
from warm cooking area, be careful to avoid steam
burns.
• N ever mix different household cleaning products.
Chemical mixtures may interact, with objectionable oreven hazardous results.

Product Damage Hazard
Ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner should be applied
regularly after use of other cleaners, otherwise overa period of time the surface of the ceramic glass may
roughen, and cleaning will become progressively moredifficult. Staining may also occur.

Do Use1. In the event of the cooktop being scratched, soil willcollect and appear as fine lines. These are not fully
removable, but can be minimized by the daily useof cleaner-conditioner. These scratches do not affectcooking performance.

Important Notes

Ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner should be used
regularly to clean and protect glass-smooth top cooking
surface. If you run out, you may temporarily use baking
soda as a cleaning powder.

2. Soil from sugar solutions must be removed from the
cooktop before the syrup has set, otherwise it canpermanently bond to the ceramic surface.

Do Not Use
1. Household detergents and bleaches.
2. Impregnated plastic or nylon pads.
3. Soap pads; these will scratch and mark.
4. Household abrasive powders except where specified;these may scratch depending on the pressure applied inuse.
5. Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and oven pads.
These are caustic cleaners, and may etch the surface.
6. Rust stain or bath and sink stain removers, as these will
mark and etch the surface.
7. Metal scrubbers.

Griddle Option
oPtIonaL
grIDDLe
Griddle for Smoothtop (glass top)
Set griddle over a back/front burner combination. Turn bothburners on MAX for a couple of minutes or until griddle
reaches frying temperature. Temperatures may be adjusted
as required.

How To Deal With Burned-On Spots
1. Make sure area to be cleaned is warm to the touch.
2. The careful use of a stainless steel razor blade held at
approximately 30 degrees to the surface can be used toremove stubborn burned-on spots from the surface.
3. Use cleaner-conditioner, and finally wipe the cooktop
clean with a paper towel or damp cloth.
If after the use of recommended materials there are somepersistent stains or marks on the cooktop, the unit should
be cleaned using a liquid cleanser. This will remove any
accumulated residue of cleaner-conditioner, and if appliedwith a non-impregnated plastic or nylon pad for non-stickpans, for at least three to four minutes, it will also takeoff the film caused by salts and minerals before it has anopportunity to discolor or develop into a problems. Finish
off with a touch of cleaner-conditioner, polish to a highlustre.
Any smearing or streaking on the surface may be removed
with lightly dampened paper towel and polished with asoft dry cloth.

Griddle for gas burners
Set griddle on the left over the back/front burnercombination. Lock the notches of the griddle onto theback & front grate fingers. First make sure that grates are
positioned on burners correctly. Turn both front & backburners on to correct frying temperature.
Warning: Do not use two griddles on a range as damage
to the top can occur.

canning
For best results, use a flat bottom, heavy gauge canner.
Canners with rippled bottoms will not work on electricburners because the bottom does not make enough contact
with the element.

Metal Marks

Gas Cooktop

Certain metal pots, especially those with aluminum
bottoms may leave marks on the surface, especially if thepan is allowed to slide. Use the cleaner-conditioner before
the unit is used again to prevent the mark from baking on
the surface.

Gas cooktops are more forgiving than electric cooktops.
Most cookware will work, although tight fitting lids arerecommended for efficient cooking on both. Always
adjust the burner controls so that flames do not extend
past the edges of pots or pans.
9gas burner cleaning

Top Burners
Your gas range is equipped with “state of the art” “Sealed
Gas Burners” and an “Auto-Reignition System”. The
sealed gas burners spread the heat evenly across thebottom of the cooking utensil and provide infinite heat
control. The auto-reignition system senses when a burner
flame has gone out and will automatically reignite thatburner. There are no standing pilots to light or adjust.

•T he burner caps should be routinely removed andcleaned. Always clean burner caps after a spillover.
Keeping the burner caps clean aids in proper ignition andan even flame. Set burner caps into indents in burner base.
•F or proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner, DO
NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS
OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS
orifice OPENING.

See this page for cleaning and maintenance of top burners.

Operating Range During a Power Failure•G as must flow freely through the small hole in the brassorifice for the burner to light properly. This area must
be free of any soil and be kept protected from boilovers
or spillovers. ALWAYS keep the burner caps in place
whenever a surface burner is in use.

To light a top burner during a power failure, hold a lit
match to the desired burner head. Turn the corresponding
control knob to any numbered position. After burner
lights, adjust flame to desired setting.
The gas oven requires electricity to operate.

Occasionally check the burner flames for proper size andshape as shown. A good flame is blue in color. If flames lift
off ports they are yellow and usually noisy. You may needto clean the burners. See figure 12.

Removal of Burner Knobs
Apply a piece of duct tape to the surface of the knob for
better grip. Pull off by hand or with a pair of pliers.­

If Ignitors Continue to Click:If your ignitors continue to click after lighting, theprobable cause is dirt or moisture around the burner,
or between the burner and ignitor. Clean these areas
thoroughly with household cleaner or soap and water.
Dry thoroughly or sparking may still occur. (You may
have to use a hair dryer to completely dry the area.) If
the condition persists, but on low setting only, you may
need to increase the burner flame (see “Manual Burner
Adjustment” – this page). If the condition persists, checkfor damaged ignitors. Very rarely, the spark module mayneed to be replaced. Ignitors and spark modules, withinstallation instructions, can be ordered from Elmira Stove
Works, and must be serviced from under the cook top.

Manual Burner Adjustment On Low
The burners have been pre-adjusted at the factory for best
performance. You may manually adjust the low settings
up or down by removing the control knob while the burneris lit and in the low position. While holding the valve stem
so it doesn’t turn, insert a small flat blade screwdriver into
the stem and turn the small brass screw slightly in either
direction until desired flame height is obtained. Valvemust be adjusted so low flame licks around burner cap noless than 1/8”. See figure 11.
1/8"

To Clean Burners:
1. Lift the burner cap straight up from the burner base.
2. Clean burner cap with warm, soapy water and a sponge.
You can also clean with a nonabrasive scrubbing pad or
cleanser. Do not clean burner cap in dishwasher.
Figure 11

3. If the gas orifice opening has become soiled or clogged,
use a cotton swab or a soft cloth to clean the area.

Figure 12

Note: Low adjustment will not effect flame heights atother settings. If a top burner flame has been adjusted too
low, the electronic ignitor may start to spark while burneris on. Readjust flame until ignitor stops sparking.

4. If ports are clogged, clean with a straight pin. Do notenlarge or distort port. Do not leave anything stuckin the ports.
5. After cleaning the orifice opening and ports, replace theburner cap. Make sure cap is set straight on burner andthat the tabs on cap fit into the grooves of burner base.

Flame Appearance
The burners have been pre-adjusted at the factory to aclean blue flame. On LP gas, a slight orange tip may bevisible. If flame is not as above, your gas serviceman
can check the regulator for proper setting with a water
manometer (U-gauge). The stove pressure should bewithin + or - 10% of the pressure setting shown in thismanual.

6. Check the burner for proper lighting after cleaning.
7. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pinson the cap are properly aligned with the burner base.

10Gas Supply System
Gas and Electrical Supplies
Before connecting to the supply systems, be sure thatthe installation conforms with the local codes or, in theabsence of local codes, with the National Fuel Code,ANSI Z223.1 latest edition or in Canada, CAN/CGA B149
installation codes. See page 4 for electrical requirements.

Gas Piping to Range
8. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, checkcap alignment. If the burner still does not light, do notservice the sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained
repair specialist.
Note: If a gas burner burns with an uneven orange
flame, reposition the burner cap so it sits flat on theburner housing. If burner lights slowly, have your gas
service person check the gas pressure to the appliance.
If a top burner flame has been adjusted too low, theelectronic ignitor may start to spark. Readjust flame until
ignitor stops sparking.
When cleaning around the surface burner, use care. If
cleaning cloth should catch the ignitor, it could damage it,
preventing ignition.
If surface burner does not light, check if ignitor is broken,
soiled or wet. If clogged, clean the small port beneath theignitor using a straight pin.
Wipe acid or sugar spills as soon as the cooktop has cooled
as these spills will discolor the porcelain.
See Cleaning Guide – Page 28.

Oven Venting - gas top models
The Oven Vent

The gas supply piping to the range should be 3/4” pipe
which is then reduced to 1/2” at the regulator. With“LP” gas, the size of the piping to the range should bedetermined by your gas fitter.
When connecting pipe to the die cast regulator fitting, use
two wrenches. Excess pressure or tightening the pipe tootight can cause the regulator to crack, resulting in a gas
leak or a possible fire or explosion.
Make sure that if flexible connectors are used inconnecting the appliance to the gas supply, they are AGA
and/or CGA approved. Poorly designed connectors canbe a source of gas leaks. Even if AGA/CGA approved
flexible connectors are used, the customer should becautioned against kinking or damaging the connection
when moving or cleaning the range. This could cause agas leak.

Manual Shutoff
Install a manual shutoff valve in the gas line, in anaccessible location, near the unit. Know where the gas
valve is so you can shut off the gas to the range quickly.
Suitable pipe thread sealant must be used which isapproved for use with “LP”/Natural gas. Be sure to use
this thread sealant on all pipe connections.

Pressure Testing
The appliance, and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures inexcess of 1/3 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply system attest pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

Proofing Bread

Setting the Temperature

Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating theyeast. Proofing twice is recommended.
To Proof:
1.	Cover dough with lighly oiled wax paper and placetemperature safe bowl(s) directly on bottom of drawer.
2.	Set control knob to 80°F
3.	Place vent on MOIST setting.
4.	Check dough periodically for proofing progress.
5.	Verify doneness by pressing 2 fingers 1/2” (1.27 cm)
into dough. If indentation remains, the dough is ready.
For second proofing of dough, follow steps 1-4.

Turn the warmer thermostat knob to the desired setting.
Temperatures can range from 80 degrees to 225 degrees.
WARNING: Food Poisoning Hazard! Do not let food sit
for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so
can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Moist-Dry Slide
The Moist-Dry slide allows you to open or close the ventslots in the door. The MOIST setting holds moisture in,while the DRY setting allows steam and moisture to escapefrom the drawer.
To keep foods moist, put slide on MOIST, closing thevents. Closing the vents will seal the drawer and keep hot
food soft and moist.
To keeps foods crisp, put slide on DRY, opening the vents.
Opening the vents releases moisture from the drawer andkeeps hot food crisp and dry.
The warming drawer is ideal for keeping hot cooked foods
at serving temperature. It may also be used for warming
breads and pastries.
Different types of food may be placed in the warming
drawer at the same time. For best results, do not hold foodlonger than one hour. For small quantities or heat-sensitive
foods (such as eggs), do not hold longer than 30 minutes.

Warming Tips
• Do not line warming drawer with aluminum foil.
• Keep food covered if it was cooked with a cover on it.
• Use narrow strips of foil to shield pie crust edges fromfurther browning in drawer.
• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry to
prevent dryness and further browning while in the drawer.
• The use of aluminum foil to cover foods may cause
moisture to collect and drip into the drawer.

Food must be at serving temperature before being placed in
the warming drawer. (Breads, pastries, and fruit pies may
be heated from room temperature on the HI setting.)
Remove food from plastic bags and place in oven-safe
container. Cover foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do
not cover with plastic wrap. Empty serving dishes anddinner plates can be heated while the warming drawer ispreheating.

convection Cooking Tips

Roasting tips•R
 oast meats fat-side up in a shallow pan using a roastingrack.

(For Convection Models)To learn how to use your convection oven to the best
advantage, refer to Convection Cooking on page 23.

•U se a roasting pan that fits the size of the food to beroasted. Meat juices may overflow the sides of a pan thatis too small. Too large of a pan will result in increased
over spatter.

1. The fan-forced hot air movement permits baking androasting on as many as 3 levels at once.
2. The Delay feature can not be used when using
Convection for baked items e.g.…pies, cakes, cookies.
3. There should be a minimum of 1” (2.5 cm) between
the walls and the pans used.
4. Position food in oven to allow free flow of air aroundthe convection fan.
5. Uniform spacing of baking dishes will produce themost even results.
6. Place bread pans lengthwise facing the oven door.
7. Do not use aluminum foil for convection baking. It
may block airflow.
8. True convection cooking is used for baking breads,
cakes and other foods which require gentle heating.
This setting is also recommended when baking large
quantities of food on more than one rack.
		 Note: During convection cooking, the oven door mustremain closed. The fan will operate only when thedoor is closed.
		 Convection cooking creates more moisture in the
kitchen than normal, usually because more food isbeing cooked at one time. We suggest that the exhaust
blower be set on low when convection cooking.
9. For convection roasting, do not use a roasting pan
with high sides, as it cuts down the free flow of air
circulating around the food. Use the convection
roasting rack on the broiler pan.
10. Convection cooking of frozen convenience foods:		 • Preheating the oven is not necessary.
		 • C ooking times will be similar to package
recommendations. Follow suggestions for oventemperatures and use of cookie sheets and foil
coverings.
		 • Most foods are best placed in the middle of the oven.
		 • If more than one item is being cooked, stagger foods
on multiple racks for proper air circulation.

•S patter can be reduced by lining the bottom of theroasting pan with lightly crushed aluminum foil.

•A foil tent will slow down surface browning for longterm roasting, as when roasting a turkey. Place tentshaped foil loosely over meat to allow for air circulation.
Do not seal foil or meat will be steamed.
•U se an accurate meat thermometer to determine whenmeat has reached desired degree of doneness. Insert thethermometer into the center of the thickest portion of themeat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. For an accurate
reading, the tip of the thermometer should not touch fat,bone or gristle.
•A fter reading the thermometer once, push it further
into the meat 1/2 inch or more and read again. If thetemperature drops, return the meat to the oven for morecooking.
•C heck pork and poultry with a thermometer in 2-3
places to ensure adequate doneness.
•P oultry and roasts will be easier to carve if loosely
covered with foil and allowed to stand 10-15 minutes
after removal from the oven.

Convection Broiling(On Convection Models)
1. Keep the oven door closed.
2. Use the convection roasting rack and broiler
pan for convection broiling. Convection broilingis essentially high-temperature convection cooking,combining fan-circulated hot air with the direct heat of
the broiler element.

Closed Door Broiling only
2. Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They aredesigned to drain excess liquid and fat away fromthe cooking surface to help prevent spatter, smokeand fire.
3. Turn food only once during broiling. Using tongs toturn meats prevents loss of juices. Use Minute Timerfor timing each side.

3. Do not cover the roasting rack with tin foil as this will
block air flow and extend cooking time.
4. The circulating air creates a seal on all sides of thefood so that turning of foods is often not necessary.
18

General Broiling Tips
1. The surface of the food should be at least 3” (7.4 cm)
away from the broil element.
2. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly, at 2” (5 cm)
intervals, around the outside edges of meat to prevent
curling.
3. Meats and poultry can be marinated before broiling.
Brush foods with barbecue sauce only during the last 5
to 10 minutes of broiling.

NOTE: Opening the oven door will cause heat loss,
longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking orroasting results. Rely on your timer.

4. Place food on a cold pan to prevent sticking. If the rack
is hot, grease it or grease the food.

Oven Rack Positions

Convection Roasting Rack
(On Convection Models)

The Convection Roasting Rack is a specially designed
rack, ideal for use when roasting and broiling meats using
the Convection Bake and Convection Broil functions.
Place it in the broiler pan instead of the regular grid. It
raises the meat for better airflow to all sides for more evenroasting and broiling.

Your oven has five rack positions. Rack position 1 is thelowest position, or closest to the bottom of the oven. Rack
position 5 is the highest position, or farthest from thebottom of the oven.

Air Circulation

There are three straight racks. Be sure to position the ovenrack(s) before putting food into the oven or turning theoven on.

The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven foreven heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results inbetter baking.
For best air circulation:• Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other.
• For best results, allow 1-1/2” to 2” (3.7-5 cm) of spacearound each pan and between pans and oven walls.
There must be a minimum space of 1” (2.6 cm).

To remove oven racks:
Lift rack at front and pull out.
• When baking with one pan, place pan in the center ofthe oven rack.

To replace oven racks:
1. Place rear of rack on rack guides.
2. While lifting front of rack, push in all the way. Lower
front.

• When baking with two pans, place pans in opposite
corners of the oven rack.

For Proper Cooking,Follow These Guidelines:

Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. Poor drainageof grease may result in a fire.
When using aluminum foil for non-convection cooking
to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles, follow these
instructions.

• When using one rack, place the rack so the top of thefood will be centered in the oven.
• When using two racks, place racks in positions 3 and 1(the closest to the oven bottom).
• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time whenusing the regular Bake setting.

Rack Placement for Specific Foods:(For rack positions, see “Rack Positions” on page 19.)
		Rack	Food	
Position
Frozen Pies
Angel and bundt cakes,
most quick breads, yeast breads,

2• Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack withthe food. Turn foil edges up and make sure foil is about
1 inch (2.5 cm) larger all around than the dish holding
the food.
• Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil.
It will reduce air circulation and cause poor cooking
results.

Introduction to Convection Cooking
Preheating

Welcome to convection cooking, the ultimate culinary
technique that uses fan-circulated hot air to efficiently
create delicious meals with appetite appeal.

When preheating the oven is specified in a recipe, normal
time is approximately 15 minutes.

Air Flow

BROIL ELEMENT

The secret to convection cooking lies in maintaining aconsistent temperature throughout the oven during thecooking process. The fan circulates hot air in your convection
oven continually to distribute heat more evenly than thenatural movement of air. This fundamental difference means
food is cooked on all sides, sealing in natural flavour andmoisture. Avoid blocking the air circulation fan at the rearof the oven with a large dish, as this will interrupt free flowof air throughout the oven. It is important not to cover foods
with foil, so that surface areas remain exposed to the moving
air. The effective use of circulating air also means that manyof your convection creations require shorter cooking times atlower oven temperatures, so you enjoy the added benefits ofless time spent in the kitchen, and greater energy savings.

Multi-Level Convection Cooking
An immediate practical benefit of the convection cooking
method is that hot air movement allows you to load the ovenracks to capacity. For instance, you can bake four loaves ofbread as quickly as you might finish two, with outstanding,uniform results. You may choose to cook your main courseand side dishes or dessert, at the same time. For greatest
success with multi-level cooking, stagger dishes on opposite
corners of the oven racks to the ones above and below. Be

Bakeware Selection

sure to leave at least one inch (2.5 cm) of space between theindividual pans, and the diagram shown here indicates whichconvection feature and rack position you should be using forthat particular recipe. At the Convection setting, the center
element surrounding the fan at the rear of the oven is on. At
the Convection/Broil setting, the top element in the oven will
heat up. At the Convection/Bake setting, the lower element
will be in use. Rack positions number from 1 at the bottom
to 5 at the top.

Bakeware with lower sides allows for constant air circulation
around all surface areas of food, for more even cooking. Highsided casserole dishes and bread pans should be positionedon the lower racks in the oven where they will benefit from
optimal heat distribution. For the most appetizing browning
results, use matte or dull finish metal pans as they conduct heatmore efficiently. Dark finishes on bakeware will absorb moreheat than reflective surfaces, resulting in darker, crispy bottom
crusts more suitable for pies and breads. Shiny muffin tins,
cake pans and cookie sheets tend to reflect heat, producing
light, tender crusts. Glass, ceramic, and stainless steel dishes
may not transmit heat as evenly as metal bakeware.

Convection Baking and RoastingYour convection oven utilizes precise, consistenttemperature control to ensure absolutely even baking androasting results. In particular, foods that require browning
are greatly enhanced by the hot air convection cooking
method. Depending on the quantities you wish to prepare,convection cooked foods can be positioned on single ormultiple racks. When roasting whole poultry or large cuts ofmeat, you can effectively lower oven temperature settings,
and substantially reduce cooking times. You will notice theremarkable difference in convection cooked foods.

Perfect Poultry
Preheating your oven to cook poultry is often not necessary,
but we do suggest that you consult your individual recipes
first. As you will notice in the Convection Poultry Roasting
Chart, convection roasting temperatures are generally 25°F
(15°C) lower than those used in conventional ovens.
Poultry is completely cooked when an accurate meat
thermometer, inserted at the thickest part of the breast or
inner thigh, registers 185°F (85°C). The juices will run clear
and the meat should pull easily away from the bone.
Glazes or sauces may be brushed onto poultry during the last
half of cooking time, for the perfect finishing touch.

Memorable Meats
Convection cooking techniques contribute special appeal
to your meat dishes by locking in flavour and retaining
moisture. The result is meat that is evenly browned outside
and tender and naturally juicy inside.
Before roasting or broiling, brush the entire surface of leanmeats with butter or oil. This will increase moisture retention
and enhance browning. Position cuts of meat, uncovered,on the raised convection roasting rack, so that heat freely
reaches all sides.
Convection oven methods can conveniently reduce thelength of time required to roast meats, in comparison toconventional roasting. Therefore, meat should be checked
shortly before the end of recommended cooking times, toavoid over-cooking.
Insert an accurate meat thermometer into the thickest part ofthe meat, taking care to avoid any bone, fat or gristle. Oncethe desired internal temperature is reached, remove the meatfrom the oven and let stand for a few minutes. This allows
the juices to settle for easier carving.

Delicate Fish & Seafood
A limitless variety of fish and seafood can be elegantly
prepared using different convection cooking methods.
Variable Convection/Broil temperature settings offer you
greater diversity compared to conventional broiling.
Before Convection/Broiling we recommend that you baste
all surface areas of your fish and seafood with oil or butter.
Reduce your oven temperature for broiling thin fillets, anduse a higher setting for broiling thicker fish steaks. Lower
temperatures may require longer cooking times, but thoroughhot air circulation eliminates the need to handle or turnfragile fish during convection cooking.
Testing fish and seafood during the last few minutes ofrecommended cooking time will ensure flawless results
without over-cooking. When the fish is opaque and flakes
easily, remove from the oven and serve.

Convection Broiling
Convection broiling is essentially high-temperature convec­
tion cooking, combining fan-circulated hot air with the direct
heat of the broiler element. We recommend preheating youroven first to maintain an even temperature during cooking.
Convection broiling times will depend upon the variabletemperature selected and the rack position used. Do notcover the broiling rack with tin foil as this will block air flow
and extend cooking time. The oven door must remain closed
while convection broiling. Circulating air creates a seal on all
sides of the food so that turning foods is often not necessary.

Savory Vegetables & Side Dishes
Oven-baking your vegetables is no longer limited
to potatoes! Take full advantage of multi-level cooking
and simultaneously prepare appetizing, piping hot
accompaniments to your main meal with no cross-overflavors. Continuous heat distribution throughout yourconvection oven offers you the opportunity to efficiently
prepare a variety of side dishes and vegetables.
As you prepare your own favorites, remember that more
dense rice and pasta casseroles may require longer cooking
times. To allow for thoroughly cooked centers without overbrowned outside edges, lower oven temperatures at least
25°F (15°C), but not lower than 300°F (145°C).

Incredible Egg & Cheese Dishes

Effortless Quick Breads

You’ll be delighted with the significant difference convection
cooking makes, particularly to the preparation of dishes thatare sensitive to fluctuations in oven temperature.
With a consistently maintained temperature throughout theoven, a fabulous soufflé, with a light-textured interior andan exquisitely golden crust, will no longer elude you. You’llenjoy complete success creating ham and swiss cheesesoufflé as egg whites rise evenly while the wonderful flavourof cheese is gently blending in.
Most egg and cheese dishes bake higher and lighter using
the constantly moving air in a convection oven. Positioning
dishes in the center of the oven makes efficient use of evenly
distributed heat, guaranteeing perfect results with your egg
and cheese dishes.

Whether your family’s preference leans toward delicious
snack muffins or a hearty fruit and nut loaf, your convection
range makes baking their favourites easy and rewarding!
Using a preheated oven will ensure quick breads arecompletely cooked in the center and delicately browned
outside.
Enhanced heat distribution during convection baking may
finish smaller items, such as biscuits and muffins, sooner than
you might anticipate. Check for the desired level of donenessshortly before the end of recommended cooking times.
The moisture content and density of quick breads requireconvection oven temperatures within the same range as
conventional baking temperatures.
