GENERAL INFORMATION IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES The information in this training manual is intended for use by persons who have adequate backgrounds of electrical, electronic, and mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair a major appliance may result in personal injury or property damage.
INTRODUCTION The self-cleaning gas oven has a tactile, electronic touchpad control. It is user-friendly and easy to operate. The surface burners are controller by manually operated valves. The convection baking and roasting cycles provide even cooking and superior baking results. The nomenclature plate, with model and serial numbers, is on the oven frame above the warming drawer.
INSTALLATION POWER SUPPLY This appliance must be connected to 120 VAC, 60Ø current on a 20-amp, dedicated circuit. Do not use an adapter or an ungrounded outlet. GROUNDING SPECIFICATIONS This appliance must be properly grounded. Wiring must conform to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all local codes.
ANTI-TIP DEVICE Be sure to install the anti-tip bracket. This prevents tipping the range in the event someone stands on the door or otherwise puts the range off balance. Use the installation template to locate the wall bracket; then, attach the bracket to the wall with a large wood screw.
OPERATION We include brief operating instructions for the technician to allow a thorough check-out of the appliance and to use during diagnosis and repair. SURFACE ELEMENTS There are five surface elements, each of which is a different output. The controls are all the same, though.
OVEN – BAKING or ROASTING This oven is not designed for open-door cooking. To operate the oven for regular (non-convection) baking or roasting: Touch BAKE Touch the number pads to enter the desired temperature. Touch START. The display will show ON and 100° (or 40° if set for Celsius.) As the oven heats, the display will show the changing temperature.
CONVECTION BAKING or ROASTING The oven fan is turned off when the oven door is opened. Do not leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking. Since the oven is not designed for any sort of open-door cooking, we recommend leaving the door shut all the time other than when placing items in the oven or removing them.
PROBE The probe allows a reading of the internal temperature of the food during cooking. Insert the probe into the food (typically a large roast or portion of meat) and plug it in to the socket in the oven. Insert the probe into the food. Plug the probe into the socket inside the oven.
To use the warming drawer: Touch WARMING DRAWER. Touch 1, 2, or 3 on the number pad to select low, medium, or high. Touch START. To turn it off, touch WARMING DRAWER. Touching CLEAR/OFF does nothing to the warming drawer. SELF-CLEANING CYCLE Before using the self-cleaning cycle, especially for the first time, we recommend ventilating the kitchen with an open window or ventilation fan or hood.

GAS CONVERSION (NATURAL GAS vs. PROPANE or LP) The range comes with the parts necessary to convert it to LP. Conversion includes the regulator and the surface burner orifices, or spuds. CONVERT THE REGULATOR The regulator is located in the lower, left hand, rear corner of the range, as viewed from the front.
Page 45
Remove the grates, burner caps, and burner heads. Then remove the brass orifice (spud) in the chimney of each burner using a ” (7 mm) wrench or nut driver. NOTE: The orifices have spring-loaded retaining rings around the hex head to hold the orifice in the nut driver during installation and removal.
To prevent leakage, make sure the orifices (spuds) are securely screwed into the gas supply tubes. For the extra large burner (right front), the choke and self threading screw will be needed. Insert the choke into the burner base, then insert the set screw into the burner base and tighten securely.
Note! If burner flames look like A. Further air shutter adjustment is required. Normal burner flames should look like B or C, depending on the type of gas you use. With LP gas, some yellow tipping on the outer cones is normal. The broil burner will cycle off when the sensor temperature reaches 460°F (238°C) set on Lo Broil, and at 570°F (299°C) set on Hi Broil.
LOCK MOTOR and LATCH SWITCH CIRCUIT The lock motor circuit and the door latch switch circuit control the locking and unlocking of the door. The lock motor is energized when the SELF CLEAN cycle is initiated with the door closed. The lock motor circuit applies voltage (120 V ) to the lock motor.
CLEAN and LOCK SEQUENCE Programming the Clean Cycle: Press SELF-CLEAN pad. 4 hours and 20 minutes (4:20) appears on the time display. (Cleaning time can be changed from the 4 hour and 20 minute starting point by pressing the SELF-CLEAN pad a second time.) After START has been pressed, the word ON illuminates in red and the word LOCKED flashes to indicate the cycle has begun.
SERVICE TEST MODE The sealed burner 30" gas range has a service test mode that can be utilized by the service technician in order to test certain oven components or functions. The selected components or functions will help the service technician to quickly identify failed or improper operation of the range.
