To replace - fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place. Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).
Always use oven mitts when using the oven. When using the appliance, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns,
offset oven rack
bottom
oven rack
The fiat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs. The half rack (some models) design comes with a removable section that allows for taller cookingutensils. The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than normal. This rack design provides several additional possible positions between the standard positions. To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking or roasting large cuts of meat. The Effortless "MOven Rack (some models) is described later in this section.
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must beable to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.

Fig. 3 Fig. 4
Effortless TM Oven Rack system Some models are equipped with a special oven rack system that automatically partially extends the oven rack from the interior oven glides to assist in easier access to your food
items. This feature works whenever the oven door is opened or closed.
To assem ble the Effortless TM Oven Rack system:
1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied oven rack (Effortless TM Oven Rack is a flat rack with a special dark coating on the left and right rack sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.
2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely coolbefore proceeding.
3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only (see previous page to verify positions).Be sure the rack connector brackets are at the rear of the range and pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).
4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the oven door open and the oven rack in place, install one end of
the connector arm to the hole in the door connector
bracket (Fig. 1) and the other end in the hole in the rack connector bracket (Fig. 2 and as in Fig. 3). The
oven rack may need to be adjusted in or out in the rack position to match the length of the connector arm.
5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the
connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point upwards (See Figs. 4 & 5). The connector arm should
now be locked into position.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.
7. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing
the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out of the oven freely when the door is opened or closed.
Only the Effortless TM Oven Rack system should be
used in oven rack position 2. Placing ANY other rack
in oven rack position 2 will prevent the oven door from fully closing and may damage the oven door, oven cavity or the door connector brackets.
If the rack system is not assembled with the connector arms the Effortless TM Oven rack may be used in oven rack
positions 2 thru 6. Do not attempt to use the Effortless TM Oven rack in rack position 1.

Using proper cookware
For best cooking results, cookware should have flat
bottoms that rests level on the burner grate. Before using
cookware, check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Fig. 1).
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, orANY material that can melt on the range cooktop, If these items melt
they may damage the cooktop:................................................................................................................................................................
Set proper burner flame size
The color ofthe flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
For most cooking; start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)
For deep fat frying; use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob accordingly. :Ifthe fat istoo cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. :Ifthe fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown or cook properly.
Flame Size* Type of Cooking
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil;
pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces,
gravies; steaming.
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the settings
needed for best cooking results.
Cookware material types
The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum = Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause itto darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & 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 will retain 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.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
*These settings are based for medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Fig. 2
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and
increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Fig, 3),

Setting surface controls
Your gas range may be equipped with many
different sized surface burners. The ability to heat
food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the
burner size increases. It is importantto select
cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food
being prepared. Select a burner and flame size
appropriate for the
Fig. 1
cookware size. The smaller simmer burner (some models) is best suited
for simmering delicate sauces, etc. The standard size (9,500 BTU) burners may be used for most surface cooking
needs.
The larger quick boil burner or burners (some models) are best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.
Setting a surface burner
1. Place cooking utensil on top of surface burner grate. Make sure the cooking untensil is centered and stable on the grate.
2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).
3. Release the knob and rotate to the lite position. Visually check that the gas burner has lit.
4. Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the control knob markings
and adjust the flame as needed.
[i
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit 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. Use caution when
light!ng surface burneEs manually: ..........................................................................................................................................
DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark
if the control knob is left in the LITE position. When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position, all
electronic ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
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.
Seasoning, using and caring for the griddle Before first use:
Wash griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry
completely.
Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).
Preheat your oven to 350°R Placethe griddle on the upper rack in your oven.
Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.
The surface may appear to have a tacky fee! to it from the seasoning process. If desired, wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.
Using the griddle: Remove the center burner grate and carefully replace with
the griddle (some models). Preheat the griddle for 5
minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process. DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.
After each use:
To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.
Do not clean griddle in the dishwasher.
= Dry Immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil
to griddle before storing.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for canning procedures.
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see
"Cookware material types" in the Before setting surface
controls section).
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
