COOKTOPUSE

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of

the pan. Turn off all controls when not cooking.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LITE.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without

cookware on the grate.

To Set Burner Temperature:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the

control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. The clicking will stop. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

............................................................C

A. Burner cap (underside) B. Afignment pins C. Igniter

D. Burner base

E.Gas tube opening

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.

LITE • Light the burner. HI • Start food cooking.

• Bring liquid to a boil.

MED (Medium) • Hold a rapid boil.

• Quickly brown or sear food.

• Fry or saute foods.

• Cook soups, sauces and gravies.

• Stew or steam foods.

LO • Keep food warm.

• Simmer.

To Set Oven Temperature: Push in and turn oven control knob to desired temperature

setting.

Power failure

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob

counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

A. 1-1V2" (25-38 mm) B. Burner ports

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.

To Clean: 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.

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.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

A. Incorrect B. Correct

Replace surface burner grates.

Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

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.

• For more information, contact your local agricultural department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

3. Press START/ENTER.

OVENUSE

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 well-

ventilated room.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or

cookware.

• 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 V2"(1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

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 Large roasts, turkeys, angel food, bundt

and tube cakes, quick breads, pies Yeast breads, casseroles, meat and

poultry Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes

BAKEWARE

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the

following chart as a guide.

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.

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 or START/ENTER is pressing, the oven will enter a timed preheat conditioning cycle. The bake indicator light will light up. The Electronic Oven Control automatically selects the conditioning cycle time based on the oven temperature selected. The conditioning cycle time will not change if the temperature is reset before the cycle countdown ends. The preheat conditioning cycle 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 conditioning 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.
