How it Works

Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.

Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if you want cooking to stop.

(metal

Pans must be made of ferrous metals produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.

Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.

Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

Lighting Instructions

Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition,

eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with

constantly burning flames.

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted

match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed.

When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners

spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Page 9

Surface Burner Controls

The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are located on the control panel in front of the burners.

The two knobs on the left control the left front and left rear burners. The two knobs on the right control the right front and right rear burners.

Before Lighting a Burner

● If drip pans are supplied with your range,

they should be used at all times.

● Make sure all grates on the range are in place

before using any burner.

After Lighting a Burner

● After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the

flame size.

● Check to be sure the burner You turned on is the one

you want to use.

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the

cookware you are using. FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE NEVER

LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE.

Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended

Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Do not use stove on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for baking, roasting and broiling identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a large turkey—the shelf is not designed to slide out at this position. Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for best baking results.

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven.

For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven

at a time.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil

pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet

for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that

will occur.

● Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a

browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

Cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will. cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe

recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier

than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.

● Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of pan.

● Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking

in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be reduced by

25°F.

ROASTmG

Do not lock the oven door with the door latch during roasting. This is used for self-cleaning only.

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

The oven has a special low shelf (R) position

when roasting a large turkey. The shelf is not

desig~ed to slide out at this position.

Position the oven at shelf (B) position for small size roast (3 to 5 (R) position for larger roasts.

Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat up, or poultry breast-side-up, on roasting rack in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible. (The broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this.)

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan. This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for

marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily

cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same time. For example: while roasting a 20 lb. turkey on shelf (R) a second shelf may be added on position D so that scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time. Calculate the total cooking time to enable both dishes to complete cooking at the same time. Allow 15–20 minutes of additional cooking time.

Questions and Answers

Is it necessary to check for doneness with a

meat thermometer?

A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the

completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at

half-

hour intervals after half the time has passed.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to

carve it?

A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to

20 minutes after removing from oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

ROAST~G GU~E

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook

a roast or poultry?

A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven. Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips

that

would help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,

or buy rolled roasts.

Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when

roasting a turkey?

A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving

it unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes per pound additional time (15 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts.)

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting.

Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly.

Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow directions given on package label.

1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2“ apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8” thick.

2. Place the meat on the broiler rack on the broiler pan

which comes with the range. Always use the rack so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the

juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.

3. Position the shelf on the recommended shelf

position as suggested in the Broiling Guide.

4. Close the oven door.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan

and broiler rack. However, you must mold the foil

tightly to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat

juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices

could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do

not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Questions and Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a

rack in the pan?

A. Yes.

Using the rack suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling? A. No.

Salt draws out the juices and allows them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also allows the juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish. brush each side often with butter.

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as

they should?

A. Check to see if you are using the recommended

shelf position. Broil for the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling.

Page 23

The oven door must be closed during broiling.

● Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes with

your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and

spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower

part of the pan.

● For steaks and chops, slash the fat evenly around

the outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing the juices.

● Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick

pork chops thoroughly without over browning them.

●

If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling.

Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

● When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty

edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could soil the oven.

● The broiler compartment does not need to be

preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.

● Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the shelf

at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1 k times per side.

Questions and Answers

Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of

still

day, can I

self-clean my oven?

A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day you

will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a

specific time.

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part

of my self-cleaning oven?

CLEAWOFF pad. Open the windows to rid the

room of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and the word “LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear

during cleaning normal?

A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and

cooling during both the cooking and cleaning

functions. Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning? A. Yes, there will bean odor during the first few

cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might

also cause a strong odor when cleaning.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled

surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating

and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after

cleaning?

A. Some types of soil

It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily.

Burner Grates

Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly

and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. After cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them in a warm oven for a few minutes. Don’t put the grates back on the range while they are wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.

To prevent rusting on cast iron grates, apply a light coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a

covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup

ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a

soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.

Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

CAUTION: Do not clean the grates in the self-cleaning oven.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.

To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. You can use aluminum foil if you do not cover the whole shelf. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content.

Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately. To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an abrasive cleaner or scouring pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door.

To remove the door, open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door

straight up and off the hinges. NOTE: Be careful not to place

hands between the oven door frame as pinch fingers.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same

time. If the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR: (Do not immerse the door in water.)

Inside of the door:

● Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during

the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this

by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional

stains when the oven is heated.

● The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with

Oven Light Replacement

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely.

The oven light bulb is covered with a removable

glass cover that is held in place with a bail-shaped wire. Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach cover easily.

To remove:

Hold a hand under the cover so it doesn’t fall when released. With fingers of the same hand, firmly push back the wire cover holder. Lift off the cover.

Control Panel and Knobs

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution

of vinegar and hot water works well.

DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS TO

REMOVE COVER.

2. Do not touch hot bulb with a wet cloth. Replace bulb with a 40-watt household appliance bulb.

To replace cover:

1. Place it into the groove of the light receptacle. Pull the wire forward to the center of the cover until it snaps into place. When in place, the wire holds the cover firmly. Be certain the wire is in the depression in the center of the cover.

2. Connect electrical power to the range.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. If knob is difficult to remove, place a towel or dishcloth between the knob and control panel and pull gently. Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water

solution but do not soak.

Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaner. Dry with a soft cloth.

WARNING

Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the

range from tipping over. If you pull the range out from the wall for any

reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged

when you push the range back against the wall.

● For your safety, never use your range for

warming or heating the room. Your oven and

cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen.

Top burners should not be operated without

cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result

in fire and damage to your range and will void your warranty.

● Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

● Do not use oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

LO~TION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure

the openings around the base of the range that

supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.

PROTECT YOUR FLOOR

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings

such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care

when moving the range on this type of flooring.

It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect

your floor. The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood

(or similar material).

the front of the range,

or butane), 10” of water column. Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is designed. This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas, if you decide to use this range on a different type of gas, conversion adjustments must be made by a service technician or other qualified person before attempting to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas

the regulator, the inlet pressure must beat least

1“ greater than the operating (manifold) pressure

as given above. The pressure regulator located

at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in

the supply line regardless of whether natural or

gas is being used. A flexible metal appliance

connector used to connect the range to the gas

supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2” and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of an A. G.A.-certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.

Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection is made.
