Safety
•
In the event of an error the display flashes and beeps continuously. Discon-
nect appliance from the power supply and call a qualified technician.
Gas Safety
WARNING:
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
WARNING:
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly,
a fire or explosion may result causing property dam-
age, personal injury or death.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flamma-
ble vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• WHAT TO DO IF YOU 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.
Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
•
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
authorized service agency or the gas supplier.
•
•
Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until
gas dissipates before using the appliance.
•
If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for
leaks. If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak
and, therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself" pro-
cedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON
position and this must be done by a qualified service technician.
WARNING:
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room.
Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the
appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.
•
•
For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and dry.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until
gas dissipates before using the appliance.

Safety
Fire Safety
•
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance,
especially surface unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
•
•
Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom
of the pan.
If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door
closed. Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit
breaker box.
•
•
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a
hot burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent, or fan, be certain that flam-
mable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the
burners or elements. They could catch on fire.
•
•
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers may ignite.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing
food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef
Flambe').
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size
of the surface element.
•
•
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immedi-
ately to extinguish flames.
Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not push the
flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
•
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray,
then turn off the burner. EXERCISE CAUTION TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
•
•
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—You may be burned.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet rags or towels—a violent steam
explosion will result.
•
Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a CLASS ABC extinguisher and you already
know how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
•
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and
easily accessible near the oven.

Safety
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda.
Never use water on cooking fires.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop
fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.
•
•
Burn Prevention
•
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface
units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact sur-
face units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable mate-
rials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot
enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, sur-
faces near these openings and oven doors.
•
•
Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open
the door (or drawer) slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape.
Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or
pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with
your cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning
purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.
•
•
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause injury.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack
must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating
elements.
•
•
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food
(i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bub-
bling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting.
Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
•
•
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy,
bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a
risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only
small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door carefully.
Child Safety
•
•
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal
responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are
instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an
appliance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can
damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe
injury.
•
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an
adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION:
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabi-
nets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an
appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

Safety
CAUTION:
All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not
touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Gov-
ernor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires busi-
nesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
1) The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-
cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide.
2) The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small
amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.
3) California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon
Monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.
4) Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
a) Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
b) Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self
cleaning the oven.
c) Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
Cleaning Safety
•
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce nox-
ious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause
burns from steam.
•
•
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door
does not lock, do not run Self-Clean. Contact service.
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds out of the
kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could reach them. During self
clean, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes
such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.
Keep oven free from grease build up.
•
Cookware Safety
•
•
•
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent
spills and movement of the pan.
•
Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or
burner will also improve efficiency.
•
•
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja-
cent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk
of fires, spills and burns.
Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety
risks.

Burner Caps
The cooktop has four burner caps. Match the size of the burner cap to the size of
the burner. Burner caps are not interchangeable.
Make sure the burner cap is completely seated on the burner base before
attempting to light the burner. If the burner cap is not placed correctly, the burner
may not light or the flame may not burn completely or correctly. The appliance
comes with two different types of burner caps: standard and diffusion (model
dependent). See the sections below for further information on each.
Diffusion Burner Caps
Depending on the model, the appliance is equipped with 1 to 4 diffusion burner
caps. They provide a more even heat, espceially when cooking at lower temper-
atures.
Burner Grates
WARNING:
To prevent flare-ups, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps and
all burner grates properly positioned. Do not use a grate if the feet are
missing or damaged.
Models with Stainless Steel Cooktop:
There are two burner grates: one for the left side of the cooktop and one for the
right side of the cooktop. Position them so that the circular opening is over the

Getting Started
The locating pins on the outside edges of the cooktop fit into notches on the bot-
tom of the grates.
Figure 7: Grates for Slide-in Models - Locating Pins
Burner grates should rest flat on the cooktop. When properly positioned, the
grates will be level and will not move back and forth.
Electronic Ignitor
The cooktop uses electronic ignitors to light the burners, There is no pilot light.
Each burner has its own ignitor. For proper operation, keep the ignitor clean and
dry. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boilover or when the burner
does not light even though the ignitor clicks.
CAUTION:
All ignitors spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not touch
any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.
High Power Burner
The high power burner is the largest burner. It is the most powerful burner on the
cooktop. It retains heat longer than normal burner caps and, at low settings, pro-
hibits the flame from touching the cookware. This results in a gentle, more pre-
dictable heat. Use the low settings on this burner to simmer large amounts of
sauces or soups. Use the high settings to quickly bring large amounts of water to
a boil.
Precision Burner
Oven Racks
The precision burner is the smallest burner on the cooktop. It is well suited for
gentle cooking of small amounts of food. Use the burner to melt butter or choco-
late or to prepare delicate sauces.
Depending on model, the range is equipped with one of the following combina-
tions:
•
•
•
Two flat racks and one full extension rack
Two flat racks and one half rack
Three flat racks
Flat Oven Racks
The racks are designed with a stop so they will stop before coming completely
out of the oven and not tilt.
CAUTION:
To avoid burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning
oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm. If a rack
must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact
hot elements.

Cleaning
Clean rack with hot sudsy water. Dry thoroughly. For stubborn dirt, use a soap
filled steel wool pad. DO NOT clean the rack in the self-cleaning oven.
Half Oven Rack (Some Models)
The half oven rack can be used as a simple flat rack or as a half-sized rack. With
the right half of the rack removed, you can place a tall item (such as a turkey) on
one side of the rack below and a shorter item (such as a casserole) on the other
side. A second shorter item can then be placed on the half rack (above the first
shorter item). This allows for easier access to all items and better utilization of
the oven cavity.

Oven Bottom
CAUTION:
Do not place food directly on oven bottom. Do not use aluminum foil
or protective liners to line any part of an appliance, especially surface
unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Combustion Vents (slide-in models
only)
The combustion vents are located along the back edge of the cooktop. They
allow the burners to operate properly. Do not block these vents.
CAUTION:
DO NOT block combustion vents. Blocked vents could lead to fire or
unintentional release of carbon monoxide.
Oven Vent
Free-standing Models:
The oven vent is located below the display above the rear left cooktop burner. It
is normal to see steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect on
the backguard and cooktop.
CAUTION:
This area may become hot when the oven is in use. To prevent car-
bon monoxide build-up, do not block the vent. The oven vent is also
important for air circulation.
Slide-in Models:
The oven vent is located above the oven door handle. Warm air may be
released from the vent before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see
steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect in this area. This

area may be warm when the oven is in use. Do not block the vent as it is impor-
tant for air circulation.
Automatic Shutoff
The oven will automatically shut off after 12 hours (24 hours if the time format is
set for 24 hour in the Select Function section).
Self Cleaning
The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor
involved with cleaning your oven.
Indicators and Other Features

an entry. A Beep also signals the end of a program or an oven error.
End-of-Cycle Indicator - To indicate when a mode is finished, 3 consecutive
beeps will sound.
Default Settings - The cooking modes automatically select the default tempera-
ture. These can be changed when a different one is needed.
Flashing Symbol or Number - Signals an incomplete setting and calls for
another step or START to be pressed.
F Number Codes -These codes display when there is a problem with the range.
Cooling Fan (Slide-in models only)
Convection Fan
The cooling fan runs during all oven modes. You may hear it running and you
may feel warm air as it is released from the oven vent. The cooling fan may con-
tinue to run after the oven is shut off. This is normal. When the oven has cooled
to a pre-determined temperature, the cooling fan turns off.
The convection fan operates during any convection mode and dehydrate. When
the oven is operating in the convection mode, the fan will turn off automatically
when the door is opened. The convection fan does run during self-clean,
although not at the beginning of the mode.
Note:
On some models, the convection fan also runs during preheat for the
bake mode.

Boiling Water
Time to boil can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions. Try the fol-
lowing tips to decrease boil time:
•
•
Use a lid.
Use a pan that is appropriately sized for the amount of water and the size of
the burner.
•
Select a pan with a flat base (See “Cookware Selection Guide” on page 30
for details).
•
•
•
Choose a medium-weight pan (rather than a heavy-weight one).
Start with water that is already warm.
Boil the smallest amount of water necessary. Smaller volumes will boil faster
than larger volumes.
Recommended Settings
Use this chart as a guide for heat settings. A range of heat settings are listed
because the actual setting depends on:
•
•
•
•
type and quality of pan (See “Selecting Cookware”),
type, quantity and temperature of the food,
burner used and
the cook’s preference.

Cookware Selection Guide
Cookware Characteristics
Pan selection directly affects cooking speed and uniformity. For best results
select pans with flat bases. When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom) should
rest evenly on the surface without wobbling (rocking). Flat, medium-to-heavy-
weight pans are best.
To Test the Flatness of Your Pans
Turn the pan upside down on the countertop and place
a ruler flat against the bottom of the pan. The bottom of
the pan and the straight edge of the ruler should be
flush against each other.

Another simple test to determine even heat dis-
tribution across the cookware bottom is to place
1” (25.4 mm) of water in the pan. Bring the water
to a boil and observe the location of the bubbles
as the water starts to boil. Good, flat cookware
will have an even distribution of bubbles over
the bottom surface area.
Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size
The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not
use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the
pan.
Place oversized pans that span two burners front to rear, not side to side.
Tight Fitting Lids – A lid shortens cooking/boiling time by holding heat inside
the pot.
Cookware Tips
Specialty Pans
•
Use of pots and pans with rounded (either concave or convex) warped or
dented bottoms should be avoided. See drawings.
Make sure the bottom of the pot or pan being used is clean and dry.
Use pots and pans with thick, smooth metal bottoms.
•
•
Specialty pans such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers, woks, water bath
canners and pressure canners must have the same features as described
above. Use only a flat-bottomed wok.

Two rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5.
Three rack: (for convection bake): Use positions 1, 3 and 6. The rack in
position 3 can be extension rack if desired.
Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking
more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½” of air space around the
pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks
so that one pan is not directly above the other. To allow for best baking results
stagger pans as shown in the graphic below.

Figure 19: Pan Placement
Baking Pans
Here are some tips for cooking with baking pans:
•
•
•
Glass baking dishes absorb heat, therefore reduce oven temperature 25°F
when baking in glass.
Shiny, smooth metal reflects heat resulting in lighter, more delicate brown-
ing.
Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in browner, crisper crust.
Some manufacturers recommend reducing temperature 25° F when using
these pans. Follow manufacturer recommendations.
Use glass or dark metal pans for pies.
•
•
Insulated baking pans may increase the recommended baking time.
Preheating the Oven
Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it. Preheating is necessary for good
results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Setting a higher temper-
ature does not shorten preheat time. Place oven racks in proper position before
preheating. A beep will confirm that oven is preheated and selected oven tem-
perature will be displayed.
Note:
Preheating the oven is not recommended when using the probe
(some models). A hot oven will impair your ability to easily connect
the probe to the receptacle and to insert it into the meat.
The Probe (some models)
•
•
The oven is well insulated and the retained heat will continue to cook the
meat after the oven has shut off. For this reason, remove the meat from the
oven as soon as the control beeps.
Since meat continues to cook after being removed from the oven, set the
internal (probe) temperature 5 - 10 degrees below the desired final internal
temperature (exception: poultry). Allow standing time (10 -20 minutes)
before carving the meat.
•
Always use the handle of the probe for inserting and removing. Use a
potholder to remove since the probe becomes hot.
•
•
Remove the probe from the oven when it is not being used.
The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For best results, completely
thaw meats before using the probe.
Inserting the Probe
•
•
•
For meats, insert the probe tip into the thickest part and do not touch bone,
fat, or gristle.
For large poultry products and turkeys, insert the probe in the thickest part of
the inner thigh.
For other foods, such as a meatloaf, the probe tip should be located in the
center of the thickest part of the food.

Oven Cooking Modes
Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the
Bake, Proof and Warm
upper and lower element cycle to maintain the
oven temperature. Bake mode can be used to
prepare foods like pastries and casseroles as
well as to roast meats.
Note:
Depending on the model, you may hear the convection fan while the
oven is preheating for the bake mode. This is normal.
In the Proofing mode, the oven will use the upper and lower element to maintain
a low temperature to proof bread.
•
•
Proofing is the rising of a yeast dough.
The Proofing mode temperatures are 85° to 110° F. The default temperature
is 100° F.
•
•
Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the
size of the container.
Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the
dough.
In Warming mode, the upper and lower elements maintain a low temperature in
the oven cavity in order to keep food at serving temperature.
•
•
•
Use the Warming setting on the oven to keep foods hot until ready to serve.
Warming mode temperatures are 140° - 220° F. Default temperature is 170°.
Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
CAUTION:
When using Warm mode, follow these guidelines:
•
•
Do not use the Warm Mode to heat cold food.
Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recom-
mends holding hot food at 140°F or warmer.
•
DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.
Convection baking is similar to baking. Heat
comes from the lower heating element and a
third element behind the backwall. The main
difference in convection baking is that the heat
is circulated throughout the oven by the con-
vection fan.
Convection Bake
The Convection Bake mode is well-suited for
baking large quantities of food on multiple
racks. It can be used to prepare cookies, pies, cupcakes, pastries, breads,
snack foods and appetizers among other items. The benefits of Convection Bak-
ing include:
•
•
•
•
Slight decrease in cooking time
Three rack cooking (more even browning)
Higher Volume (yeast items rise higher)
Ability to cook more items at once

For Best Results:
•
•
Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F. Refer to Convection Baking chart.
Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without
sides.
•
Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack
Automatic Convection Conversion
In the convection bake mode, the temperature is automatically reduced 25° F
from the package or recipe temperature. Simply enter the package or recipe
temperature when setting the mode and the range calculates the correct tem-
perature.
The Automatic Convection Conversion feature can be turned off to allow for
manual temperature adjustment. See “Turn Automatic Convection Conversion
ON or OFF” on page 20 for details.
When the Automatic Convection Conversion feature is activated, the display will
read AUTO CONV BAKE. When the feature is turned off, it will read CONV

Dehydrate
The dehydrate mode dries with heat from a
third element behind the back wall of the oven.
The heat is circulated throughout the oven by
the convection fan. Use dehydrate to dry and/or
preserve foods such as fruits, vegetables and
herbs. This mode holds an optimum low tem-
perature (100° F - 160° F) while circulating the
heated air to slowly remove moisture. The oven
will stay on for 48 hours before shutting off
automatically.
For Best Results:
•
•
Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140° F. Dry herbs at 100° F. (Refer to the
Dehydrate Chart for examples).
Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food,
the size of the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air.
Check food at the minimum drying time.
•
•
•
Multiple drying racks (not included) can be used simultaneously.
Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.
Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative Extension Office or

Racks
Wash with hot sudsy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or
soap filled pads as directed. If racks are cleaned in the oven during the self-clean mode, they
will lose their shiny finish and may not glide smoothly. If this happens, wipe the rack edges with
a small amount of vegetable oil, then wipe off excess.

Clean with hot sudsy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper
towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powdered cleansers, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
Porcelain Surfaces
Immediately wipe up acid spills like fruit juice, milk and tomatoes with a dry towel. Do not use a
moistened sponge/towel on hot porcelain. When cool, clean with hot sudsy water or apply Bon-
Ami® or Soft Scrub® to a damp sponge. Rinse and dry. For stubborn stains, use soap filled
pads. It is normal for porcelain to show fine lines with age due to exposure to heat and food soil.

Self Cleaning the Oven
WARNING:
•
During the elimination of soil during self-
cleaning, small amounts of Carbon
Monoxide can be created and the
fiberglass insulation could give off very
small amounts of formaldehyde during
the first several cleaning cycles. To
minimize exposure to these substances,
provide good ventilation with an open
window, or use a ventilation fan or hood.
•
•
Do not block the oven vents(s) during the
self-cleaning cycle. Always operate the
unit according to the instructions in the
manual.
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door
locks and will not open. If the door does
not lock, stop self-clean operation and
contact service.
The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor
involved with cleaning your oven. During self-cleaning, the oven uses a very
high temperature to burn away food soil and grease.
•
•
Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.
It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up 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.
•
•
•
The oven door locks at the beginning of the self-clean cycle.
The oven light does not operate during this mode.
During Self-Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate
odors associated with Self-Clean. Odors will lessen with use.
Four hours is the preset length of cleaning. The range can also be set to
clean for 3 or 5 hours.
•
•
•
The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean hours.
When the oven cools after cleaning, the automatic door lock will release and
the door can be opened.
•
•
To cancel or stop while the mode is operating, press OFF.
The door will not unlock until the oven reaches a safe temperature.
Preparing the Oven for Self Clean
WARNING:
A flexible door gasket is necessary for a good seal. Do not clean, rub,
damage or move the gasket.

2. Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean
cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull dark
3. Wipe up excessive soil, spills and grease before self-cleaning the oven.
Excess grease will cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self-
cleaning.
Do hand-clean 1 1/2 inches from
rack guides to front of oven cavity.
Do not hand-clean
the gasket.
Do hand-clean frame
area outside the gasket.
Do hand-clean door
area outside the gasket.
Figure 21: Cleaning Guidelines
4. Review illustration above. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand
before the cycle begins. Use a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber or a deter-
®
gent-filled S.O.S. pad. Hand-clean the oven door edge, oven front frame
and up to 1-1/2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Do not
clean or rub the gasket on the oven. The gasket is designed to hold in heat
during the self-clean cycle. Rinse all areas thoroughly then dry.
5. Be sure oven light is turned off and the light bulbs and lens covers are in
place. Do not operate oven without light bulb and cover in place.
Important: Do not use Commercial Oven Cleaners on the self-clean oven or

sons or companies that have been specially trained on Bosch products, and who
possess, in Bosch ‘s opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and
technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, part-
ners, affiliates or representatives of Bosch). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Bosch will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is
located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service pro-
vider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous
locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch
would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized
service provider, but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel
time or other special charges by the service company, assuming they agree to
make the service call.
