IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

* The California Safe Drinking Water and

Toxic Enforcement Act requires the

Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause

cancm; birth defects or other reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn

customers of potential exposure to such
substances.

* The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens

gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure

can he minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using your appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:

• Have the installer show yon the location of
the range gas cut-off valve and how to shut it

off if necessary.

• Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent

fire or smoke damage should the packing

material ignite.

• Mter prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such use.

Never install it directly over interior kitchen

carpeting.

• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to
four of these substances, namely benzene,

carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete

combustion of natural gas or LP fimls.
Properly adjusted burners, indicated by

a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure

to these substances can be minimized by
venting with an open window or using a

ventilation fan or hood.

AWARNING--

All ranges can tip and injury
could result. To prevent

accidental tipping of the range,
attach it to the wall by installing

the Anti-Tip device supplied.
To check if the device is

installed and engaged properly,

carefully tip the range forw-ard.
The 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 device is properly
engaged when you push the range back against

the wall.

• Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations and areas with

poor air circulation.

• Be sure your range is correctly adjusted
by a qualified service technician or installer
for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is

to be used.

WARNING: These adjustments must be

made by a qualified service technician in
accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions and all codes and requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure

to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury or property damage. The

qualified agency performing this work
assumes responsibility for the conversion.

If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range
tipping over and causing injury if you or a

child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip information in
the installation instructions.

Failure to take this precaution could result in

tipping of the range and injury.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

* Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this manual.

* Be sure your appliance is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation

insn'uctions.

* Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other

servicing should be referred to a qualified

technician.

* Before performing any service,

DISCONNECT THE RANGE POWER

SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD
DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING

THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE

CIRCUIT BREAKER.

* Do not leave children alone--children should

not be left alone or unattended in an area

where an appliance is in use. They should

never be allowed to sit or stand on any part

of the appliance.

*Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the door, kick panel, drip tray handles,
or cooktop. They could damage the range

and even tip it ovm; causing severe personal

injury.

,,Do not store flammable materials in the oven

or near the cooktop.

* Do not store plastic, flammable liquids or

combustible materials on top of the optional
high shelf.

* CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO

CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE

BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE_CHILDREN

CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH

ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

* For your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

* Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when

reaching for items stored over the range.

Flammable material could he ignited if
brought in contact with surface burners,

burner grates or oven heating elements
and may cause severe burns.

, Use only dry pot hoMers--moist or damp pot

holders on hot surtaces may result in burns

fi'om steam. Do not let pot holders touch
surface burners, burner grates or oven

heating elements. Do not use a rowel or

other bulky cloth.

. When surface cooking, do not touch the

surface burners, burner grates, grille or
griddle (on some models) or the surrounding

areas.

When using the oven, do not touch the oven
heating dements, the interior surface of the

oven or the exterior area immediately
surrounding the door or back trim.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
During and after use, do not touch, or let

clothing or other flammable materials
contact, the surface burners, grille or griddle

(on some models), areas near the surface

burners, or any interior area of the oven;
allow sufficient time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,

surfaces near the opening, crevices around
the oven door, the drip tray handles directly

above the oven dora; metal trim parts
above the dool. or any backguard or high

shelf surface.

The drip trays get hot when the oven is on.
Do not remove the drip trays until they are

COO1.

CAUTION: The inside surthce of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.

, Keep the ventilator hood and grease filters

clean to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires. Turn the ventilator OFF in case

of fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor
or other spirits on the cooktop. The blowei.

if in operation, could spread the flames.

. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or

ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a
fi'esh air supply is available.

. Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat

to at least an INTERNAL temperature of

160°E and poultry to at least an INTERNAL

temperature of 180°E Cooking to these

temperatures usually protects against

toodborne illness.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

,, Do not use water on grease lures. Never pick

up a flaming pan. Turn the conn'ols off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by

covering the pan completely with a well-fitting
lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-

purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguishen

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by

using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguishm:

Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing tile oven door and

turning tile oven offor by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguishen

,, DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE

MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER

FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER

APPLIANCE.

,, Do not let cooking grease or other flanmmble

materials accumulate in or near the range.
Clean drip trays and liners after every use.

'*If you smell gas, the ins'taller has not done a

proper,job of checking for leaks. You can have
a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if

the connections are not completely tight.
Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself

procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the ON position and fbr

your protection it must be done by a qualified
service technician. Never use an open flame to

locate a leak.

'*If by some chance a burner goes out and gas

escapes, open a window or a door to let the
room air out. Do not attempt to use the

appliance until the gas has had time to
dissipate. Follow the instructions in What to do
if You Smell Gas.

,*Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of

the oven or cooktop. Using a foil liner could
result in a fire hazard or the obstruction of the

flow of combustion and ventilation ai_: Foil is
an excellent heat insulator and heat will be

trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can
upset the cooking performance and can

damage the finish of the oven or the cooktop.

SURFACE COOKING

* Do not heat unopened food containers; a

build-up of pressure may cause the container
to hurst.

* Set the burner control so that the flame heats

only the bottom of the pan and does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame
is hazardous. The high BTU burners can easily

melt cookware handles.

* Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry pot

holder, to prevent movement of the utensil
when sdrring or turning food.

*Always heat fat siow_ and watch as it heats.
*Always use the LITE position when igniting

the surface burners and make sure the burners
have ignited, including the center simmer

flame.

,*Never leave the surface burners unattended at

high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

If the burner flames are smothered by a severe
boilover which affects the ignitol; unhurned gas

will escape into the room.

,*Do not let pot holders come near open flames

when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.

,*To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware
handles toward the side or back of the range
without extending over adjacent burners.

, Never Mock the vents (air openings) of the

range. They provide the air inlet and oudet that
are necessary for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion. Air openings are
located at the top and bottom of the oven door,
drip ways, drip tray handle areas, backgaurd
vent area and area immediately surrounding
the top burners (burner pans).

SURFACE COOKING

• Always turn the surface burners to OFF before
removing cookware.

• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.

* Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over

tile sides of tile pan.

• Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fht can cause spillovers when

food is added.

"Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible

to prevent overheating tat beyond the smoking
point.

"Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryen Wait until tile fat is cool.

• When using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for top-of-range cooking.

* If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.

* Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air from tile vent may ignite flammable

items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.

• Use proper pan size---avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware

having flat bottoms large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers

and large enough m cover burner grate. This
will both save cleaning time and prevent

hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy
spattering or spillovers left on the range can

ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily
grasped and remain cool.

*Keep all plastics away from the top burners.

* Do not leave plastic items on the cooktol_-

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

. To avoid the possibility of a burn, al_ys be

certain that the controls for all burners are at

the OFF position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.

,*When flaming foods under the hood, turn

the fan on.

,*Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool

before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the container under

the cooktop burners, the grille or the griddle.
Clean these areas after each use or boiloven

. For proper lighting and performance of the

cooktop burners, keep the burner ports dean.
It may be necessary to clean these when there

is a boilover or when the burner does not light,

even though the electronic igllitors click.

'*After deaning, it is important to make sure

the ontex cap/burner port is properly aligned

with the burner base. incorrect alignment will
produce poor burner performance. Never

operate the burner without all burner parts
in place.

. Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam

burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to
clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some

cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. Follow manufhcturer's directions.

. Do not use the grille for cooking excessively

fatty meats or products which promote flare-up.
'*DO NOT use cookware on the grille.
'*If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the surface

burners and create a fire hazard.

, Be sure all the range and/or cooktop controls

are turned off and the appliance is cool before

using any type of aerosol cleaner or cooking

spray on or around the appliance. The

chemical that produces the spraying action

could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause

metal parts to corrode.

OVEN

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

* Stand away from the range when opening the

oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• Never "open door broil" with children nearby.
They could quickly come into contact with a

hot oven interior surface, causing severe burns.

• Children in walkers, or children crawling, can

be attracted to the round oven door handle
and may grab and open the oven door. This

can result in injtu 7 from tile door being pulled
open on a child, or severe burns if the oven

is in use and hot.

,, Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and tile con'miner
could burst, causing an i_,jury.

• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

. Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
. Place the oven shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder

contact the heating elements.

, Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from touching hot

surfaces of the door or oven walls.

, When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

,*Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

, Do not use oven for a storage area. Items

stored in an oven can ignite.

,*Do not leave paper products, cooking uteus'ds

or food in the oven when not in use.

• Do not clean the door gasket. The door gz_sket
is essential for a good seal. Care should be
token not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

,, Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven

cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of

the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will
damage the inside of the oven when the selt:

clean cycle is used.

" Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

,*Before serf-cleaning the oven, remove the oven

shelves, oven shelf slide assemblies, broiler
pan, grid and other cookw-are.

. Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting the self-cleaning operation.

,*If the self-deaning mode malfunctions, turn

the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

Burners

Your new professional gas range is equipped
with burners typical of those used in restaurants.

These burners are designed in two pieces tbr
easy cleaning and control.

The center, smaller cap covers and protects the
simmer burner from boilovers tbat could put the

flame out. This cap also spreads the simmer
burner heat out to avoid too much heat being

concentrated on the center of tim pan.
The simmer burner is always on when the burner

is in use. The burner should never be operated
if tim simmer cap is not in place.

The outer cap/port ring constitute tim main
burner and are in operation between the HI

and LO settings.
The burners have electronic spark ignition to

eliminate continuously burning pilots. When the
outer cap/port ring is on and tim flame is blown

out, it will relight. The burners are rated at

15,000 BTU around tim outer cap/port ring.

When turned to the simmer setting, only the
center of tim burner is lit, and it is rated at

500 BTU.

Electronic

ignitors

NOTE: Keep the ignitor, ignitor cap and burner
ports clean.

If a burner does not ignite, listen for the
clicking sound. If the ignitor is not clicking,

turn off the burnm: Check the circuit breaker
for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breakm:

If the ignitor still fails to operate, check the
Problem Solver in the back of tbis manual or

the Power Failure information in this section.

NOTE: If you are using propane gas, a slight pop
or flash may occur at the burner ports a few

seconds after the burner has been turned off
This "extinction pop" is normal for propane gas.

Burner base

Simmering Your new profbssional gas range has

exceptionally low simmering capabilities. The
center simmer cap serves as a heat diffuser to
spread out the heat to avoid having a center hot
spot. Keep in mind tbat because of the high
heat capacity of the outer burnm; and the mass
of the cast iron burner grates (they retain heat
longer tban lighter, conventional grates), some
foods may continue to cook by retained heal

after tbe burner has been turned off.

The simmer burner is lit from the outside
burner flame.

B_rner

efficiency
and jlame

characteristics

The burner flame should burn completely
around and witbin tim burner Mth no excessive

noise or lifting. The flame should be blue in
color and stable witb no yellow tips.

An improper air-gas mixture may cause eitber
a burner flutter or a yellow-tipped flame.
A technician should adjust tim flame.

The flame travels tbrough tbe simmer ignition
channels and crosses over onto tbe simmer

burner located just beneatb the simmer cap.
When lighting only the simmer burnm; always

light the main burner first. This will in turn

provide the ignition source fbr tbe simmer
burner. Ensure that tbe simmer ports are lit
before turning tim control knob down to tim
simmer position. Should a strong draft or
boilover extinguish the simmer flame, it will not

relight automatically as the outer burner would.

During initial use, fbreigm particles in tim gas

line, or dust in the air or around tim appliance

may cause an orange flame. This will disappear

Surface Cooking

Stainless Steel Range

Flame

height

The correct height of the flame mainly depends
on the size of the bottom of the cooking

utensil, the material of the cooking utensil, the
amount and vype of food and tbe amount of

liquid in the utensil.

For safe handling of cookware, never let the
flame extend up the sides of the cookware. Any

flame larger tban the bottom of the cookv_-are is
wasted heat and only serves to heat the handle.

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce
heat.

• For safety reasons the flame must never
extend beyond the bottom of the cooking

utensil. Never allow flames to curl up tbe side
of tbe pan.

• Be very careful if tile pans have plastic
handles, as tbese large professional-size

burners can flame up on the outside of the
pan and melt or bubble the handles.

• Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as
glass-ceramic) should be used with medium

to low flames. If you are cooking with a large
amount of liquid a slightly larger flame can

be used.

Incorrect Correct

_(

Note: The flamesize on a gas burner should match the

cookware you are using.

The electric ignition that lights the surface
burners will not operate during a power

failure.

To light the surface burners during a power
failure, turn the control knob for the burner

you w-ant to light to L1TE while holding a
lighted match to tbe outer ring. After tbe
flame is burning all the way around tbe
burnm; adjust the flame.

It is necessary to light each burner separately

each time you want to use it during a power
Failure.

The grille or griddle (on some models),
or oven sections can not be used during a

power failure.

12

Cookwa

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.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware--

those for oven use only and those for surface

cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass
conducts heat very slowly.

Using the

grille

(o*_some modeL_)

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly and

evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-

fitting lids for cooking with minimum amounts
of w_aten

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

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the
enamel of some cooDa-are may melt. Follow

cooDa-are manufacturer's recommendations
for cooking methods.

Before starting to cook on the grille, be sure
the drip tray and liners are in place and that
you have the grille racks turned to the side you
want for cooking.

Heatproof Glas_Ceramic: Can be 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 cooktops.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor

heating properties, and is usually combined

with coppm; aluminum or other metals for

improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skillets generally work satisfactorily if

they are used at medium heat as the
manufhcmrer recommends.

Wok: A large, professional-sized wok and
wok ring, specially designed for use on this

range, is available from your dealer. Ask for
model ZXWK22_

Preheat the grille for 15 minutes with the
control knob set on HI. When the grille is
preheated, place the food on the grille. Cook

it to the desired doneness.

NOTE: The longer you preheat the grille, the
darker the grille marks will be on your food.

During cooking it may be necessary to adjust
the heat setting. The control knob may be set
to any position between HI and LO.

For proper searing and browning the grille
requires high heat.

With large pieces of meat or poultry you will
need to turn the heat to a lower heat setting

after the food has been seared. This lower heat
setting will allow the food to cook through

without burning the outside.
Marinades and barbecue sauce should be added

to,a-ard the end of cooking time. The heat
should be turned to low when sauces are added.

Do not leave the grille unattended while it is on.

When you are finished cooking, allow the grille
and the drip trays to cool before cleaning them.
They should be cleaned each time they are used.

Excessive

grille flare-

ups and

jlaming

Grille rack

Occasionally grease drippings ignite. These
drippings will create minor puffs of flame for a

second or two. This is normal when cooking
on a barbecue. You may find it handy to have a

spray bottle filled with water to lightly spray
the flare-up.

If the flame becomes excessive, remove the
food from the grille. Lower the heat setting.
Replace the food when the flare-up subsides.

The two-piece rack is reversible. Place the side
with the two grooved tabs toward the back of

the cooktop. The grille rack is made of cast
Type 304 stainless steel.

The rack will change color when sul_jected to
the heat of the grille, and as oils cook onto the

surfhce. This is normal and does not affect the
cooking performance of the grille.

For best results, the rack should be seasoned
befbre the first use. Seasoning will insure a

stick-resistant cooking surface. If the grille has
not been used for a period of time, it should

be reseasoned.

To season the grill rack:

1 Clean the rack thoroughly with hot, soapy

water to remove any manufacturing oils, etc.

To prevent flare-ups from happening, trim the
fht from around the edges of steaks and chops,

use hamburger that is lean, remove the fat

from poultry, etc.

When turning any kind of meat or poultry, tile

melting fat will drop onto the briquettes and it
may create a flare-up. If this happens, use a

long-handled spatula to move the food to

another area.

3 Using a heavy cloth, rub vegetable oil over

the entire surface of the rack. Do not use
corn oil, as it gets sticky.

4 Place rack into the grille housing. Turn the

burner on to a medium setting. Turn the
burner offwhen the oil begins to smoke.

Allow rack to cool.

5 Repeat steps 3 and 4.

6 Using a heavy cloth, apply a very thin layer of

vegetable oil over the entire cooking surfhce.
The grille is now ready for use.

One side of the grille (side A) is ridged and
should be used for foods where you want the fat

to run of?[,such as steak or hamburger patties.
The ridges are sloped so the fat runs toward the

front of the grille and can easily run down to
the cooler area of the drip tray and away from

the intense heat of the burnm:

The other side of the grille (side B) was
designed for fbods that need more support

while cooking, such as fish.

Food cooked on this grille achieves the same
flavor as food cooked on an outdoor grille.

The intense radiant heat from the ceramic
briquettes caramelizes the fats and .juices that

are brought to the surface of the food, giving

it the barbecued flavor:

This gas grille may cook slightly faster than
you are used to.

Gcilling

hints

• When turning the meat over, always use a
spatula as it will not puncture the meat

allowing the juices to run out. This will help
to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only

once, as .juices are lost when the meat is
repeatedly turned. Sea.son or salt tile meat

after it has been cooked; these procedures
have a tendency to dry the meat out.

• Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat or
poultry. To prevent steaks or chops from

curling while they are being cooked, slit the
fat around tile edges at about 2" intervals.

To test for doneness, make a small cut in tile
center of the meat.

• The doneness of meat is affected by the
thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook

a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness. A
steak should be at least 1" thick to have it

turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time is
affected by the temperature of tile meat

when you start to cook it, the size and shape

of the cut and tile kind of meat you are
cooking. The degree of doneness desired

also affects the time.

• The U. S. Department of Agriculture says,
"Rare beef is popular, but you should know

that cooking it to only 140°E means some
food poisoning organisms may survive."

The built-in griddle is made from Type 304
stainless steel, highly polished to provide a

smooth cooking surface. It is normal for it to
darken with use as oils cook onto the surface

to provide a stick-resistant base or "seasoning."
Since the griddle is made from stainless steel,

the surface will not rust.

The griddle is thermostatically controlled and
cycles on and off to maintain the set temperature.
The "HEATING" light indicates that the burner

is on.

The griddle assembly is not to be removed for
deaning and is held in place by three rear

screws. These screws keep the griddle from
shifting in transit, and are also used for

positioning to avoid breaking ignition
components.

Once the unit is in position, the rear center

Baking

pans/sheets

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish
on the pan determines tile 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 lightm, more delicate

browning. Cakes and cookies require this
type of pan or sheet.

• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When
baking in glass baking dishes, the temperature

may need to be reduced hy 25°E

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 fi'ont or to tile back

of the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or tile walls

of the oven. Allow 1- to 1½" space between
pans as well as fi'om the back of the oven, the

door and tile sides.

Preheating Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.

To preheat, set the oven at tile correct
temperature--selecting a higher temperature
does not shorten preheat 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 fbil may be
used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower

shelf several inches below the food.

If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans

so one is not directly above the othm: Check

tile food on the bottom shelf sooner than the
minimum time. The food on the lower shelf

may cook slightly fhster than the food on tile
upper shel£

Preheating is necessa W for good results when

baking cakes, cookies, past W and breads.

What is

convection

cooking ?

In a convection oven, a fan circulates the
heated air evenly, over and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. :ks a result, foods

are evenly cooked and browned_often in less
time with convection heat. Preheating is not

necessai T with foods having a bake time of over

15 minutes.

• Food is heated faster in a convection oven.
When using the convection feature, many

types of tbod can be cooked at lower
temperatures than those suggested for

regular ovens.

• Good for large quantities of baked foods.

• Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,

cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and
bread.

• Ideal for baked foods cooked on two or three

shelves. Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout tile oven, foods can be baked with
excellent results on two or three shelves at a

time. Multi-shelf baking may increase cook
times slightly for some foods, but the overall

result is time saved. Multi-shelf baking
provides very good results with cookies,

biscuits and other quickbreads.

• Recipe books often give times and

temperatures for cooking in regular ovens.
Convection ovens make it possible to reduce

the temperature by 25°E

• Check foods for doneness at the minimum

suggested cooking time.

• Some package insuuctions for frozen

casseroles or main dishes have been developed
using commercial convection ovens. For best

results in this oven, preheat the oven and use
the temperature on the package.

Convection

cookwm

Before using your convection oven, check to
see if your cookware leaves room for air

circulation in the oven. If you are baking with
several pans, leave space between them. Also,

be sure the pans do not touch each other or
the w-alls of the oven. Use the pan size

recommended in the recipe.
When baking cookies, you will get the best

results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead
of a pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you
should use a pan with low sides. Hot air

cannot circulate well around food in a pan
with high sides.

Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your

convection oven. Howevm; metal pans heat

the fastest and are recommended tot

convection baking.

• Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake

faster than shiny pans.

• Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that

are recommended tor use in regular ovens can
be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware

that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°E

can also be used.

The burner grates are porcelain enamel. When
cool, tbey may be wiped clean using hot, soapy
watel; tben rinsed and wiped d W.When lifting

the burner grates, be carefhl as they are hea W.

Place them on a protected surface, so they
won't scratch the surface of the cooktop.

Drip trays,

drip tray
line and

drain tubes

Located beneath the cooktop are one or two
drip trays. If you have a griddle or a grille there

will also be a tray linen The drip trays and liners
are made of stainless steel. The drip trays are

on rollers so they are easy to remove and
replace.

To remove the drip tray, pull it forward.
If something has spilled into the tray, it should

be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent
"baked on" food soil.

Grease fi'om the griddle or the grille drains
through tile drain tubes into the tray and into
the liner below.

Do not allow the grease to accumulate in the
drip tray or liner as it can be a fire hazard.

Clean the drip tray and liner as soon as they are
cool. Clean with hot soapy warm:

To clean the drain tube use a soapy botde brush.
A mild abrasive cleaner such as Bon-AmP _or Soft

Scrub _"_can be used. For stubborn stains, use a
soap-filled steel wool pad or a harsh abrasive

cleaner such as Comet _ or Ajax<; rubbing lighdy.
Rinse all parts thoroughly.

Drain tubes

Drip tray andliner

C iddle

(on some mode&)

Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and
food particles, using a square-edged spatula,

while it is still hot.

Wipe the griddle with a dry, heavy, coarse cloth
to remove any remaining residue and food
particles.

Wash with hot soapy water, rinse and dry.
Once the griddle has cooled, rub the surface

lightly with vegetable oil. Do not use corn oil or
cooking sprays as they get sticky.

If the griddle is cleaned with anything other
than a dry, heavy, coarse cloth, it will need to

be reseasoned.

Never flood the hot griddle with cold watm:
This could cause the griddle to crack or warp.

Care and Cleaning

Stainless Steel Range

G rille

(on somemodels)

Back panel
and shelf

Clean the grille immediately after cooking.
Turn off the burnm: To protect your hand from

steam and heat, wear a barbecue mitt. Scrub
the grille by dipping a brass bristle barbecue
brush fi'equently into a bowl of watel:

The steam created softens the food particles
and assists the cleaning process. The food

particles will drop into the drip tray or into
the radiant tray holding tile ceramic briquettes.

Be sure to clean the drain tube, drip tray and
liner after they have cooled.

The back panel and shelf are made of stainless
steel.

Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch the

surface.

Clean with hot soapy waten Rinse and dry.
If the panel and shelf have food soil

remaining, try a general kitchen cleaner, such
as Fantastik_ Simple Green ® or Formula 409_

For hard to clean soil use a standard stainless
steel cleaner such as Bon-Ami_ Cameo ®or
Bar Keepers Friend? Apply cleaner with a

damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Al,a-ays
scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.

After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish such

as Stainless Steel Magic?

12"oven

porcelain

interior

(48" ranges only)

With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish
on the inside of the oven--top, bottom, sides,
back and inside of the door--will stay new-
looking for years.

Let the range cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber gloves when
cleaning the range.

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning
with a mild abrasive cleanel: Soapy, wet metal
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 a dull spot even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the cleaning

job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or

pottei T container in a cold oven overnight.
The ammonia fumes will help loosen the
burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.

Cautious about using spray-on oven deaners:

• Do not spray on the electrical controls and
switches because it could cause a short circuit

and result in sparking or fire.

• Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build
up on the temperature sensor--it could

cause the oven to heat improperly. (The
sensor is located at the top of the oven.)
Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
sensor as a change in its position could affect

how the oven bakes.

• Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of the
oven, cabinets or painted surfaces.

The cleaner can damage these surfhces.
