■

CAUTION:

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range – children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ Proper Installation – The range, when installed, must be

electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the

National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

. In Canada, the range must be electrically grounded in accordance with Canadian Electrical Code. Be sure the range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

■ This range is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug

for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

■ Disconnect power before servicing.

■ Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or

drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors or drawers.

■ Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free from

combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

■ Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should

not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

■ Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

For self-cleaning ranges –

■ Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and

COOKTOP USE

WARNING

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.

Cooktop/Oven Temperature Controls

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

Surface Burners

A. Burner cap (underside) B. Alignment 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

MED (Medium)

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.

■ Light the burner.

■ Start food cooking.

■ Bring liquid to a boil.

■ Hold a rapid boil.

■ Quickly brown or sear food.

■ Fry or sauté foods.

■ Cook soups, sauces and gravies.

■ Stew or steam foods.

■ Keep food warm.

■ Simmer.

A. 1-1½" (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 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.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

A. Incorrect B. Correct

6. Replace surface burner grates.

7. 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.

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 above the burner.

■ 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.

■ 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.

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 B ak e or Ro as t:

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.

Oven Vent

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.
