IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps and bases according to
the “General Cleaning” section.
Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the
gas tube by always using a burner cap.

To C le an :
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach
or rust removers.
1. Remove the surface burner grates.
2. Remove burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to “General Cleaning” section.
3. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
4. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a
trained repair specialist.
5. Replace the burner cap onto the burner base, making sure
the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the
cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.

alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the grate.
■ Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.

burner cycling may give incorrect readings.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature
calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or
Celsius.
A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed
amount. The absence of a sign means the oven will be warmer by
the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.
ADJUSTMENT °F
(ADJUSTMENT °C)
10°F (5°C) ...a little more
20°F (10°C) ...moderately more
30°F (15°C) ...much more

3. Press START/ENTER.
COOKS FOOD
OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and wellventilated room.
Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
■ On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover
the oven bottom vents.
■ For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
■ To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
RACKS
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not move racks with bakeware on them.
■ Make sure racks are level.
For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the
top of food will be centered in the oven. To move a rack, pull it
out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out.
FOOD RACK POSITION
Large roasts, turkeys, angel food, bundt
and tube cakes, quick breads, pies
Yeast breads, casseroles, meat and
poultry
Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes 2 or 3
BAKEWARE

A. Oven vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and
cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that
could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Baking and Roasting
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the interior finish, do not place
food or cookware on the oven door or oven bottom.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
Press TEMP/TIME or TEMP/HOUR “up” or “down” arrow
pads to set a temperature other than 350°F (177°C) in 5°F
(3°C) amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F
and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
2. Press START or START/ENTER.
The temperature can be changed at any time after this step
by pressing the TEMP/TIME or TEMP/HOUR “up” or “down”
arrow pads. Start does not need to be pressed again. If
baking/roasting while the Timer is counting down, the set
baking/roasting temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds
by pressing BAKE.
3. Touch OFF/CANCEL or CANCEL/OFF when finished.
Preheating
After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat cycle.
The bake indicator light will light up. The Electronic Oven Control
automatically selects the preheat cycle time based on the oven
temperature selected. The cycle time will not change if the
temperature is reset before the cycle countdown ends. Preheat is
complete and the oven is ready to use when a 1-second tone
sounds, the cycle countdown ends, and the set temperature is
displayed.
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat time ends to
put food in the oven is suggested when baking foods with
leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking
soda and eggs.
