IMPORTANT
COOKTOP

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR USINGYOUR

Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust

flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to flame wilt also improve efficiency.
* Knowwhich knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan of
food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off
before removing the pan.
*Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top
burners. Visually check that burner has tit. Then adjust the flame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
* Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Burners--To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
burners.
* Never Leave Surface Burners
Unattended
at High Heat
Settings--Boitovers
cause smoking and greasy spitlovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

* Protective Liners--Do
not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
* Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only
certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to sudden
change
in temperatures.
Check
the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
IMPORTANT

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

* Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer-Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven.
Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in
the oven.
* Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
The oven vent is located
below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when the
oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items could melt or ignite.
* Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is
hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
* Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and
its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high
heat of the broiler.
* Do not cover the broiler insert with al urn inum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
. Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has
not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit
has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours
before turning on the power to the appliance.

Setting Surface Controls
Do not place plastic
items such as salt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on top of the range when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels orwood spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to a flame.

Setting

Surface

Controls

Your range may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to
heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.
The SIMMER burner (some models) is best used for simmering delicate sauces,
etc.
The standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.

In the event of an electrical power outage,
the surface burners can be lit manually.
To light a surface burner, hold a lit match
to the burner head, then slowly turn the
surface control knob to LITE. After burner
lights push in and turn knob to desired
setting. Use caution when lighting surface
burners manually.

The POWER burner or burners (some models) are best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan.
Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Visually check that the burner has lit.
Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise
to the desired flame size.
The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the guides
and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If
the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be
undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food
will neither brown nor cook properly.

*These settings are based on using medium-weight
metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using
other types of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. Agood flame is clear, blue and hardly visible
in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

Convection

(cont'd)

Cooking

Benefits of Convection Cooking:
--Foods cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
--Multiple rack baking.
--No special pans or bakeware needed.

How Convection

Cooking

works

(some models)

Convection Cooking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and
continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast,
even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when
using two racks at the same time (See Fig. 1).
Heated airflows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
Meats cooked using the Convection feature are juicer. Poultry is crisp on
the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry
brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked
faster and more evenly using the Convection feature.
Fig. 1

General

Cooking

instructions:

iii..............

For Baking:
1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.
2. Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe's recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe's
instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.
3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in oven rack positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 2)
Note: Layer cakes will have better results using the normal Bake feature.
For Roasting:
1. Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods with the Convection feature.
2. Since the Convection feature cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your
recipe. Increase the time until the desired doneness is obtained.
Note: Cook time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

To Set Convection:
1.
2.

Program the oven as you normally would to bake.
Press and release the Convection switch. The indicator light located above the
Convection switch will glow and the fan will come on. The fan stays on when the
oven door is closed and shuts off while the oven door is opened. The fan will
continue to operate until cooking is complete.
To cancel the Convection feature, press and release the Convection Switch once
on the control panel.

IMPORTANT NOTES: The Convection fan will take 6 minutes to begin rotating once
the Convection switch has been turned ON. The Convection feature will not activate
during a Self-Clean cycle.

Self=Cleaning

Oven

A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
•
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the Self-Cleaning oven.
•
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.
•
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.
•
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
•
Oven racks do not have to be removed. If they are not removed during the
Self-Clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull.
After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil
(this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).
,
Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the
Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
•
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed.

Clean burner grates, broiler pan and insert in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If
soils are not removed, follow the cooktop cleaning instructions below.

Stainless Steel, Chrome Parts

Clean with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Do not
use cleaners with high concentrations
of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh
scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning
stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners off from the surface as bluish
stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Oven Racks

Remove racks. See "Removing and Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting
Oven Controls. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer's instructions.
Rinse with clean water and dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with
wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make
the racks glide easier into the rack positions).

the Cooktop

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the four burners are sealed, cleanups are easywhen spillovers are
cleaned up immediately. To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE.

Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

Use caution when replacing the burner cap so the electrode is not damaged. This may cause a delayed ignition
or prevent the burner from igniting.
