Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct
operation of the electric ignition system on model 1956. If
the wall receptacle does not provide correct polarity,
the ignitor will become grounded and click occasionally,
even after the burner is ignited. A qualified electrician
should check the wall receptacle for correct polarity and
grounding. This sparking condition will also occur if there
is a breeze across the burners or when on low.

Warning: Do not touch ignitor when it is sparking.

OPTIONAL – WARMER DRAWER

WARMING DRAWER CONTROLS

Setting the Temperature

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 vent
slots in the door. The MOIST setting holds moisture in,
while the DRY setting allows steam and moisture to escape
from the drawer.

To keep foods moist, put slide on MOIST, closing the vents.
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 and
keeps 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 food

longer than one hour. For small quantities or heat-sensitive
foods (such as eggs), do not hold longer than 30 minutes.

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 and dinner
plates can be heated while the warming drawer is
preheating.

Storage or Warmer Drawer
Removal Instructions

• If the storage or warmer drawer is not removed or

installed properly, ball bearing race could be damaged.

• DO NOT REMOVE THE DRAWER UNLESS

ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

• If removing drawer, pull it out to the stop.

• Slide the black nylon tab on each side towards you.

• Slowly pull the drawer straight out of the ball bearing

track.

• When reinstalling the drawer, extend the ball bearing

track inside the stove fully towards you.

• It works best with 2 people, one on each side of the

drawer.

• Slowly push drawer straight into the track until it is fully

closed.

• Drawer should now open and close freely.

Proofing Bread

Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the
yeast. Proofing twice is recommended.

To Proof:

1. Cover dough with lighly oiled wax paper and place

temperature 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.

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 from

further 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.

Automatic Door Lock

As soon as you program the oven for the self-cleaning
function, the door will automatically lock. It will remain
locked throughout the entire cycle. The door will
automatically unlock when the temperature lowers to a
safe level.

MAINTENANCE & MINOR REPAIR

Removable Oven Door

The oven door is removable to allow easier manual cleaning
inside the oven if desired.

Removing the Oven Door:

Completely open oven door. In both back corners of the
door you will see door latches in the locked position.
Rotate both latches forward to the unlocked position.

Grasp outside edges of door with both hands.

• Begin closing door, at the moment the door stops

closing, lift and pull door toward you.

• Set door aside on a protective surface.

Resetting Breakers

In case of a stove malfunction, try resetting the breaker, at
the main breaker panel.

Clock Malfunction

If you have experienced a power surge or loss of power
recently, your clock may have “locked up”. Turn power off
to your range for about 15 seconds then reconnect. This
should reset clock/control and it should now function
normally.
