YOUR GAS COOKTOP

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

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 will also improve efficiency.

Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before removing the cookware.

Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware may expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing or other items. Using the proper cookware on the cooking areas will improve efficiency.

Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

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 — Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spill overs that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials or devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended for baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.

• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the appliance 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. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heatsensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can 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, do not let potholder contact hot burner or element in oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and utensils before moving the rack.

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook in proper cookware and always use the oven racks.

Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types o f glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.

When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

Cookware Material Types

The most popular materials available are:

• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of

food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting).

• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.

• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking

results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor; however, it will ret ain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

• Porcelain - enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.

• Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Using Proper Cookware

Important: For best cooking results, cookware should have

flat bottoms that rest level on the burner grate. Before using cookware, check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Figure 3).

Figure 3: Check for flat bottom cookware

amount of food to be prepared.

• Made of material that conducts heat well.

• Flame extends beyond unit.

• Easy to clean.

Figure 4: Cookware recommendations

Please note: The size and type of utensil used and the

amount and type of food being cooked will influence the burner flame setting needed for best cooking results.

Page 11

Setting Surface Controls

IMPORTANT

CAUTION

OFF

LITE

Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared.

• The smaller simmer burner (5k) is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

• Use middle oval burner (10k), left rear burner (9.5k), or left front burner (15k) for most cooking needs.

• The larger power burner at the front right (18k) is recommended for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

• Do not cook with the surface control knob left in the LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to

spark if the control knob setting remains in the LITE position.

• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.

• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time. This can cause uneven heating results.

• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually . Use caution when lighting surface burners 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.

SETTING SURFACE BURNERS

• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

• Do not place aluminum foil, or any material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may permanently damage the cooktop surface.

To set surface burners:

1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate.

Be sure the cooking utensil sits stable on the burner grate.

2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position.

3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position. Visually check that the burner is lit.

4. Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.

• When operating the oven, it is possible for residual heat from the oven to build-up and over time to even tually transfer to the surface control knobs located directly above the oven door.

• Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases the risk of being burne d b y the gas flame.

NOTE

Setting proper surface burner flame size

For most cooking: Start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed.

Flame Size Type of Cooking

High Flame

Medium Flame

Low Flame

• Start most foods

• Bring water to a boil

• Pan broiling

• Maintain slow boil

• Thicken sauces and

gravies

• Steaming foods

• Keep foods cooking,

poaching and stewing

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance.

Check with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• When home canning, use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center.

• Be sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the grate.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a boil.

• Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

IMPORTANT! Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas heating at the same time. This can cause uneven heating results.

Figure 6: Gas flame adjustment

Settings based on using medium weight metal or aluminum pans. Settings may vary using other types of pans.

The color of the flame is key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue, and hardly visible in a well lit room.

Each cone of the flame should be steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

oven vent

CAUTION

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located under the controls. When the oven is in use, hot air passes through this vent for proper air circulation and provides good baking results in the upper oven. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal. Do not block this vent.

Cooling Fan: The fan may continue to run for a while even after the oven has been turned off; this is normal.

Figure 7: Oven vent location

Installing Ladder Racks

Figure 8: Ladder rack supports

1. Place the ladder racks hook side up into the support brackets located on the sides of the oven (

2. Place oven racks into desired positions. Note: To aid installation and movement of racks, apply a

thin layer of cooking oil to the sides of the oven racks that contact the ladder supports.

Protective liners — Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self clean temperatures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil. Use aluminum foil only as recom mended in this manual. Improper installation or use of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Figure 8).

Oven Racks

• Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing

food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be very hot and may cause burns. Remove all oven racks and rack ladders before starting a self clean cycle. Clean oven racks according to the instructions provided in the Care and Cleaning section this manual.

Your appliance is equipped with flat handle oven racks and can be placed in most oven rack positions.

Arranging, Removing, and Replacing Oven Racks

IMPORTANT! Remove all oven racks, rack ladders, and

any other accessories from the oven before starting a self clean cycle.

• To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

• To remove - pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.

• To replace - place the oven rack on the rack guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place.

• For ease of removal, racks should not be placed in adjacent rack positions.

IMPORTANT!

To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all oven racks are fully positioned inside the oven cavity.

Setting Convection Broil

Use this mode for thicker cuts of meat, fish, and poultry. The convection broiling gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. Convection broiling uses the broil element and a fan to circulate the heat continuously within the oven.

The oven can be programmed for convection broiling at any temperature between 400°F to 55 0° F.

Convection broiling tips:

• For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2

minutes. Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

• Always use a broiler pan and its grid when broiling. It keeps grease away from the high heat of the broil element.

• Do not use the broil pan without the insert. Do not cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire. Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.

• Convection broiling is generally faster than conventional broiling. Check for doneness at the minimum recom mended time.

Setting Broil

Use the Broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is preset to broil at 550° but may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, use a fire extin guisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a hot oven. When broiling, the oven interior, oven racks and cooktop will become hot enough to cause burns.

IMPORTANT! Broil Auto Shut Off: If oven door is open for more than one minute during Broil the control will beep. If door is not closed it will turn off Broil element after another 30 seconds.

• Do not use the broiler pan without the insert (Figure 22). Do not cover the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite. The insert is slotted and allows hot grease from the meat to drain away into the broiler pan

To set broil:

1. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan

on the rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element. If preheating the broil burner, position the broiler pan with food after step 4.

2. Place broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the food on the broiler pan insert.

3. Broil with the oven door closed.

Convection Roast

Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, seal ing in juices and flavors.

Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside.

Before roasting See “Convection roasting temperature and

time recommendations” as listed in Table 2.

Important:

• Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.

• Do not cover the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil;

the exposed grease could ignite.

To use convection roast at a temperature of 350°F (177°C):

1. Place oven rack on the bottom or next to the bottom

oven rack position (1).

2. Place the meat on the broiler pan and insert. Make sure the insert is securely seated on top of the broiler pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.

3. Place meat (fat side up) on insert

4. Place prepared food on oven rack and slide into oven.

5. Close the door.

6. Press the convect key twice. Roast will appear in the

OVEN CONTROLS

Convection Roasting tips:

• Preheating for convection roast will not be necessary for most meats and poultry.

• Arrange oven racks so large poultry or other cuts of meat are on the lowest oven rack position. on the lowest rack of

the oven. Small cuts of meat and poultry should be cooked on rack position 3 using the flat handle rack.

• Since convection roast cooks faster, you can reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommen ded time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.

• Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast recommendations for additional information.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.

• When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps

prevent grease splatters.

Cooking with Meat Probe

Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams, or poultry.

For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food.

The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature.

When active, the probe displays the internal food temperature which is visible in the display during the cooking process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to open the oven door to check the thermometer.

Proper placement of probe in food.

• Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the

center of the thickest part of meat or food (See

Figure 26). For best results, do not allow the probe

temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware.

Figure 26: Probe in thickest area of food

• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the

center of lowest large muscle or joint.

• For meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center of food.

• When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.

• For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor

into the thickest part of the breast (See

Figure 27).

Figure 25: Using the probe

Do not store the probe inside the oven. Use only the original probe provided. Connecting any other probe or device could result in damage to the oven control, elec tronics, and the receptacle.

Before starting self clean, double check that the probe is removed from the oven interior. Defrost frozen foods completely before inserting the probe.

Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable or handles. Always insert and remove the probe using the provided handles, and always use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

WARNING

Setting the Sabbath Feature (for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays)

For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at www.star-k.org.

This appliance provides special settings

for use when observing the Jewish Sab bath/Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the oven control. Bake heating is the only cooking feature available while in the Sabbath mode. Oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.

You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s) needed for the oven, the Bake Time, and Delay Start options (if needed). Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode will be visible in the displays. The Bake Time option, if set prior to the Sabbath mode, will give one audible alert at the end of Bake Time.

The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 6 hour energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking fea tures are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the cancellation.

If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven lig ht is turned on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the oven lights are turned off. The oven door will not activate the interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or closed.

It is recommended that any oven temperature modification made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with two presses of the START key. This will insure the oven remains on even if an attempt is made to set the oven temperature outside of its temperature range.

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

Important:

• Do not attempt to activate any other oven function

except Bake while the Sabbath feature is active. The following keys will function correctly when the Sabbath feature is active: 0-9 number keypad, Bake, START, and off. All other keys should not be used once the Sabbath feature is active.

Self Clean

Read before starting Self Clean. Be sure to read all following caution and important statements before starting a self clean cycle.

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. This function can be programmed for 2, 3, or 4 hours.

• Do not leave small children unattended near appliance. During self clean cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot and cause burns if touched.

• Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom, or any part of the range with aluminum foil. This will cause permanent damage to the oven interior and destroy heat distribution, and will melt to the oven interior.

• Do not force the oven door open. This will damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the oven door after the self clean cycle end s. The oven may still be very hot and cause burns. To avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven when opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.

• 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 ( areas heat sufficiently to burn soil o n. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.

• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before st arting a Self Clean cycle. To clean use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures.

• Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie fillings) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material in the gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket and compromise the performa nc e of th e oven.

General Cleaning

Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more detailed information about cleaning specific parts of the range.

Important: Before manually cleanin g any p art of the ra nge, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. The range may be hot and can cause burns. It is recommended to not use ammonia to clean the oven. However, if ammonia is used, the oven must be thoroughly rinsed before operating. Provide adequate ventilation.

Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners

WARNING! Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in

the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these materials to the oven cavity and ruin the oven. These types of materials can also reduce the effectiveness of the air circu lation in the oven and produce poor baking results. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface burners under any circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, the utensil will be damaged or destroyed.

• Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. During self clean the oven temperature can become hot enough to melt aluminum cooking utensils or aluminum foil and could result in permanent damage to the oven interior and porcelain finish.

Cleaning the Glass Cooktop

To avoid possible burns do not attempt any of the cleaning instructions provided below before turning off all surface burners and allow them to cool.

Your cooktop is glass with gas sealed burners. To clean the glass portion of the cooktop follow these directions.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the glass part of the cooktop. Use a clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive cleaning tool, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose. If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface (Figure 26). Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.
