Alternative Clean Self-Cleaning
Technology
Alternative Clean Self-Cleaning Technology is a first-of-its-kind
cleaning solution designed to minimize the time, temperature,
and odors that ordinarily come with traditional self-cleaning
methods. With Alternative Clean Self-Cleaning Technology, an
exclusive coating on the interior of the oven is activated with
heat and water to release baked-on soil. To use Alternative Clean
Self-Cleaning Technology, simply wipe out loose debris, pour
water into the oven bottom, and run the Alternative Clean Self-
Cleaning cycle. When the cycle finishes in under 1 hour at a lower
temperature than in traditional self-cleaning methods, just wipe
out the remaining water and loose debris. See the "Clean Cycle"
section for more detailed instructions.
Surface Temperatures
When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot,
such as the knobs and oven door.
Storage Drawer
When the oven is in use, the drawer may become hot. Do not
store plastics, cloth, or other items that could melt or burn in
the drawer.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper,
or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle,
the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven
will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C)
with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the
oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat.
The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The
actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to
offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food.
This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the
oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when
the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat
before the tone sounds.
Surface Burners
The burner bases and caps must be properly positioned before
cooking. Your range comes with 3 sizes of burners and caps.
Each round burner base is marked with a letter indicating
the burner size. Align the burner bases as shown in the following
illustration:
KEY USAGE TIPS
Align the gas tube opening in the burner base with the orifice
holder on the cooktop and the igniter electrode with the notch
in the burner base.
Each round burner cap is marked with a letter indicating the
burner size. Place the burner caps on the appropriate burner
bases.
Small cap (S)
Burner caps should be level when properly positioned. If burner
caps are not properly positioned, surface burners will not light.
The burner cap should not rock or wobble when properly aligned.
