SURFACE COOKING

Lighting Instructions for Electric Ignition Models

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. We extreme caution when lighting burners

this way.

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

Timer

The Timer has been combined with the range clock. Use it to time all your precise cooking operations. You’ll recognize the Timer as the pointer that is different in color from the clock hands.

Minutes are marked up to 30, and hours are marked up to 4 on the center ring of the clock.

NOTE: If the pilot is too high or low, you can adjust it. See the “Adjust theSurface Burner Pilots If

Necessary” section of the Installation Instructions.

4. Lower the cooktop. Your surface burners are now ready for use.

5. Observe lighted burners. Compare the flames to pictures in the Problem Solver. If any flame is unsatisfactory, call for service.

Surface Burner Controls

Before Lighting a Burner

Knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are marked as to which burners they control. 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.

On ranges with sealed burners:

● The smaller burner (right rear position) will give

the best simmer results.

. The right front burner is higher powered than the

others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker (natural gas installations only).

To Light a Surface Burner

Eleetric Ignition Models: Push the control knob in and

turn it to LITE. You will hear

a little “clicking” noise-the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.

Standing Pilot Model:

Push control knob in and turn it to HI position. The burner should light within a few seconds.

Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift

slightly away from the burner when the burner is

firstturned on. A blowing or hissing sound maybe

heard for 30 to 60 seeonds. This normal sound is due to improved injection of gas and air into the burner. Put a pan on the burner before lighting it, or adjust the flame to match pan size as soon as it lights, and the blowing or hissing sound will be much less noticeable.

● If drip pans are supplied with your range, they

should be used at all times.

. Make sure all the grates on the range are in place

before using any burner.

After Lighting a Burner

cAfter the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the

flame size.

cCheck to be sure the burner you turned on is the one

you want to use.

● 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.

● Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you

place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

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.

Wok Cooking

(on models with sealed burners)

● We recommend that

you use only a flatbottomed wok. They

are available at your local retail store.

oDo not use woks that have

support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous. Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

...

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Canbe used for either

surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very

slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper,

aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work

satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the

manufacturer recommends.

Use of Stove Top Grills

(on models with sealed burners) Do not use stove top grills

on your sealed gas burners.

If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner it will cause

incomplete combustion

and can result in exposure

to carbon monoxide levels

above allowable current standards.

This can be hazardous to your health.

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

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

Power Outage

CAUTION: DO NOT MAKE ANY A~EMPT TO OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DURING AN ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

USING YOUR OVEN

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stoplocks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming

completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the “stop” position. Place the cookware on the

shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will

eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove a shelf

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for normal baking and roasting 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 on the Baking, Broiling and Roasting pages.

Oven Vents

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear

of the cooktop. See Features section. Do not block these openings when cooking in the oven-it is important that the flow of hot air fkom the oven and fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted. ~

● Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may

become hot if left too close to the vent.

cMetal items will become very hot if they are left

on the cooktop and could cause burns.

cDo not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air

from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

Oven Moisture

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.

Do it Yozwse&Adjust the Oven Thermostat

If you don’t think the oven is heating at the right temperature when you are baking or roasting, you can reset the thermostat yourself.

When cooking food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting and the differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10minutes are not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven which it replaced.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in the grocery

store, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers can vary by 2040 degrees.

To deeide how much to change the temperature,

setthe oven temperature 25°F. higher or lower than

the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of this “test” should give you an idea of how much the temperature should be changed.

Full the OVEN CONTROLknob off the rangeand hmkat the backside.

To make adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn), but do not completely remove, the two screws on the back of the knob. With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.

To raise the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the right. You’ll hear a click for each notch you move the knob. To lower the temperature, move the top screw toward the left. Each click will change the oven temperature approximately 10°F. (Range is plus or minus 60°F. from the arrow.)

We suggest that you make the adjustment one click from the original setting and check oven performance before making any additional adjustments.

After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so they are snug, but be careful not to overtighten. Re-install knob on range and check performance.

BAKING

How ToSet Your Range For Baking

1. To avoid possible bum place the shelves in the

comet position before you turn the oven on.

2. Close the oven door. Thm the OVEN CONTROL knob to desired temperature.

Oven Shelves

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 bmvning deSfi ~ As a generalrule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either the second or third shelf fkomthe bottom. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

3. Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF and remove food.

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting in the food. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature-selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles

and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes. After the oven is preheated place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as

much as possible rather than being placed to the fkont or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1 to 1!4inch space between pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.

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.

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 crus~ the cookie sheet helps retain it.

Aluminum Foil

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

spiilover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

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 maybe undercooked and batter may overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.

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.

. 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, lower the temperature by 25”F. and use the recommended cooking time in the recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies

or casseroles.

●

✎

Don’t Peek

Setthe 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.”

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

ROASTING

Roasting is cookingby 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

just above the oven

bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, ~ when roasting a large turkey. The shelf is not

designed to slide out at _ – this @sition.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Roasting is easy; just follow these steps:

1.Position oven shelf

at (B) position for small size roast

(3 to 5 Ibs.) and .?. at (R) position for j; larger roasts.

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

3. Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to desired temperature. Check the Roasting Guide for temperatures and approximate cooking times.

4. Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing after being removed from the oven.

Recommended standing time for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F.If you wish to compensate for

temperature rise, remove the roast from the oven when its internal tempera~e is 5° to 10°F. less

than temperature shown in the Roasting Guide.

NOTE: Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

Frozen Roasts

● 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).

● Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure

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

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 position R, a second shelf (if so

equipped) 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 for the potatoes.

Questions and Answers

Q. 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 halfhour intervals after half the time has passed.

Q.Whyis myroastcrumblingwhen1try to

How to Broil

..—.

BROILING

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat fkom above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum. Yourrange has a compartment below the oven for broiling. A specially designed broiler pan and rack allow dripping fat to drain away from the food and keeps it away from the high heat bf the gas flame.

Both the oven and broiler compartment doors should be ck)sed during broiling.

1. You can change the distance of the food from the

heat source by positioning the broiler pan and rack on one of three shelf positions in the broiler compartment-A

(bottomofbroilercompartment),

B (middle)andC (top).

2. Preheating the broiler or oven is not necessary and

can produce poor results.

3. If meat has fat or gristle near the edge, cut vertical

slashes through it about 2 inches apart, but don’t cut into meat. We recommend that you trim fat to prevent excessive smoking, leaving a layer about

1/8 inch thick.

4. Arrange food on rack and position the broiler pan on the appropriate shelf in the oven or broiling compartment. Placing food closer to flame increases exterior browning of food, but also increases spattering and the possibility of fats and meat juices igniting.

5. Close the oven and broiler compartment door.

6. Turn OVEN CONTROL knob to BROIL.

7. Tbm most foods once during cooking (the exception is thin fillets of fish; oil one side, place that side down on broiler rack and cook without turning until done). TIrne foods for about one-half the total cooking time, turn food, then continue to cook to preferred doneness.

8. ~m OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF. Remove broiler pan from broiler compartment and serve food immediately. Leave pan outside the range to cool.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack However,

youmustmoldthe foil tightlyto the rack and cut sIitsin itjust likethe rack. Withoutthe slits,the foil will preventfat and meatjuices fromdrainingto

the broiler pan. Thejuices couldbecomehot enoughto catchon fire.If you do not cut the slits,you are frying,notbroiling.

Questions & 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 tier cooking. Turn meat with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows

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

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming

dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of

acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set.

When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills such as fat smatterings,etc., wash with

soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then

rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

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.

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 immediate y. Take care not to touch hot portion of oven. If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow the oven to cool first. You can then clean the oven bottom with soap and water, an abrasive or scouring pads.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR:

(Do not immerse door in water.)

Inside of door: . Allow to cool before cleaning. For light soil, wipe

frequently with mild soap and water (especially afier cooking meat). This will prolong the time between major cleaning. Rinse thoroughly. NOTE:

the oven is reheated.

s For heavy soil, choose an oven cleaner and follow

label instructions. Rinse well.

Outside of door:

● Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,

sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.

● Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces

and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

● Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or

harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Porcelain Oven Interior

Wkh proper care, the porcelain enamel intenor will retain its attractive finish for many years.

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy

spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a

mild abrasive cleanser. Soapy, wet pads may also be

used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit

juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They

may cause dull spots even after cleaning. Household ammonia may make the cleaning job

easier. Place 1/2 cup ammonia in a shallow glass pan and leave in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.

When necessary, you may use a commercial oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

● Be careful where the oven cleaner is sprayed.

● Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls

and switches (on some models) because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

● Do not allow a film from the cleaner to remain on

the temperature sensing bulb-it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located at the rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

cDo not spray any oven cleaner on the outside oven

door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner carIdamage these surfaces.

Uven Alr vents

Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air

inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range, under the kick panel, storage drawer or broiler drawer (depending on the model).

~~t-up Cooktop (on models with dual burners)

Vent appearance and location vary

Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.

To make cleaning

easier, the cooktop may be lifted up. - - ‘1

h Metal Parts

Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia or commercial oven cleaners. To safely clean surfaces; wash, rinse and then dry with a

soft cloth.

%%==

To raise the cooktop:

1. Be sure burners are turned off.

2. Remove the grates.

3. Grasp the two front burner wells and Iifi up. Some models have dual support rods that will hold the

cooktop up while you clean underneath it. After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, soapy

water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers. Lower cooktop gently to avoidblowing out pilot flames (on standingpilot models).

Glass Surfaces

To clean the outside glass

finish, use a glass cl~mer. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth. Do not allow the water or cleaner to run down inside openings in the glass while cleaning.

there are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find these precautions in the Important Safety Instructions in the front of this

book. Read them carefully.

● Have your range installed by a qualified

installer or service technician.

● Your range must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes

oflocal codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANS1/NFPA70, latest edition). In Canada, electrical grounding must be in accordance with the current CSAC22.1Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes. See Electrical Comections in thk section.

● Before installing your range on linoleum or

any other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand 180°11without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4” thick plywood or similar insulator is placed

between the range and carpeting.

● Make sure the wall coverings around the

range can withstand heat generated by the range up to Z(XPE

s Avoid lacing cabinets above the range. To

reduce e hazard caused by reaching over the

open flames ofoperating burners, install a ventilation hood over the forwardat least 5“beyondthe ont ofthe cabinets.

s The ventilating hood must be constructed of

sheet metal not ess than 0.0122”thick. Install

PROTECT YOURFLOOR

Yourrange, 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 thk type of flooring.

It is recommended that the followin simple and

inexpensive instructions be followe to protect

Yourrange is designed to operate at a pressure

of4“ofwater column on natural gas or,ifdesigned

for LP gas (propane or butane), 10”ofwater

column. Make sure you are supplyingyour range with the type ofgas for which it is designed. T’his range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas, ifyou 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 supplied to the regulator must be between 4“and 13”of water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10”and 13”of water column. When checking for proper operation of 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 LP 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 ofinstallation.In Canad~ flexiblecomectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

EKlmwm TWE-~ Tow Shut off the main gas supply valve before

disconnecting the old range and leave it off until new hook-up has been completed. Don’tforget

to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement ofthe range, the use of an lLG.A-certified flexible metal appliance comector is recommended unless localcodesrequire a hard-pipedconnection. Never use an old connector when installing a

new range. Ifthe hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound

on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe threads.
