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.

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.

StOVe Top

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

Before Using Your Oven

Be sure you understand how to set the controls properly. Practice removing and replacing the shelves while the oven is cool. Read the information and tips on the following pages. Keep this guide handy where you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.

The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by electric ignition.

To light either burner, press the pad for the desired

function and press

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

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.

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

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. It is recommended that you operate the oven for a number of weeks to become familiar with your new oven’s performance.

Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired. As a general rule, place-most foods in the middle of the oven, on either shelf position B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified

temperature before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at the correct selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

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

by placing it

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.

Don’t Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes

provide minimum and maximum baking times such

as “bake 30-40 minutes.”

How to Time Bake
