Turn on the burner. Ifthe burner does not light, check cap
alignment. Ifthe 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.
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.

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.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section,
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
Press TEMP/TIME "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/ENTER.
The temperature can be changed at any time after this step
by pressing the TEMP/TIME "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. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.
Preheating
After START/ENTER is pressed, 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.
A
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.
BROILER
The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and
grid roll out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler drawer
and oven door closed.
• To avoid damage to the broiler, do not step on or apply
weight to the broiler door while it is open,
Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler
drawer during broiling.
Do not use broiler drawer for storage,
Use only the broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices
and help avoid spatter and smoke.
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
