• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.

by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

• If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

WARNING

• Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding cabinets.

• Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.

• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use the minimum amount of oil when using a shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.

• Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame may be hazardous.

• Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of sudden change in temperature.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby burners.

• Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.

• Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.

• Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

WARNING

covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.

Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.

Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

You will hear a clicking noise—the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. When one burner is turned to LITE, all burners will spark. Sparking will continue as long as the knob remains at LITE. Once gas is ignited, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

Burners should be operated only when

Using the Surface Burners

NOTES:

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

• Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while another burner is on. Damage to the product may occur.

• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials on them.

Your rangetop has sealed gas burners that offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.

The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking performance for foods such as delicate sauces that require low heat for a long cooking time.

Surface Burner

The round burner is for general cooking purposes. Size cookware appropriately to the flames.

Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

Selecting a Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When rapid heating is desired, the flame size should match the size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be hazardous.

These flames are too large for the pot

USING THE RANGE

SURFACE BURNERS (Cont.)

Top-of-Range Cookware

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 when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

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 or as the manufacturer recommends.

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

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

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check the cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Do not use stove top grills

Using a Wok

Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.

Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

SABBATH MODE

Certain models comply with the Star-K Jewish Sabbath requirements for use during the Sabbath and holidays. For the latest list of models, see star-k.org.

Start Baking

To start baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. Because a thermostat model will respond with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob is used to turn on the oven, this operation should take place before the Sabbath or Holidays begin.

Adjusting the Temperature

To adjust the oven temperature while in compliance with Sabbath requirements, the user must observe the oven ON indicator light:

• To adjust the oven temperature to a higher value, the user must first confirm the "OVEN ON" light is on. Only then, can the user turn the knob to a higher temperature than was previously set.

• To adjust the oven temperature to a lower value, the user must first confirm the "OVEN ON" light is off. Only then, can the user turn the knob to a lower temperature than was previously set.

Stop Baking

To stop baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the off position. Because a thermostat model will respond with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob is used to turn off the oven, this operation should take place after the Sabbath or Holidays end.

Oven Light Operation

The oven light can be set to either on or off prior to the start of the Sabbath or the holiday. Opening and closing of the door will not change the state of the oven light.

Sabbath Mode Power Outage Note

If a power outage occurs during a Sabbath bake, the unit will return to Sabbath bake mode when power is restored and the oven will return to the same temperature as before the outage, without any intervention from the user.

USING THE RANGE

COOKWARE GUIDELINES

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than the minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25º F next time.

• Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.

• Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.

• Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.

• Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

COOKING MODES

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.

Bake

The bake mode is for baking and roasting. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies and pastries, always preheat the oven first. To use this mode turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.

Convection Bake Multi Rack

The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Lower the temperature 25 degrees. Always preheat when using this mode. Baking times may be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode turn your Oven Mode Knob to Convection Bake and Oven Temperature Knob to the recommended temperature setting.

ENGLISH

Warm (on some models)

Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not required. Do not use Warm to heat cold food. It is recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. To use this mode turn the thermostat knob to Warm.

Broil

Always broil with the oven door and drawer closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on the upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil burner increases smoking, splattering, and the possibility of fats igniting.

Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil burner when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a lower rack position. To use this mode turn the thermostat knob to the Broil setting. NOTE: Remove unused racks from oven for faster preheat, improved efficiency, and optimal performance.

49-85252-1 11

ENGLISH

USING THE RANGE

OVEN RACKS

Rack Positions

Your oven has four rack positions in the oven. Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting the rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top, try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow air to flow. This may improve cooking evenness.

Removing and Replacing Flat Racks

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.

To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto the rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and push it in until it is all the way into the oven.

Racks may become difficult to slide. To improve sliding conditions, use a soft cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable oil on the left and right edges of the racks and/or rack supports.

NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for faster preheat, improved efficiency, and optimal cooking performance.

CARE AND CLEANING

OVEN

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.

Oven Interior

The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using the Steam Clean feature.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Manual Cleaning

Do not use oven cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, or scouring pads on the interior of the oven. For soils on the oven bottom and other enameled surfaces, use a gentle abrasive containing oxalic acid, such as Bar Keepers Friend®, with a non-scratch sponge. Take care not to apply any abrasive cleaners or sponges to the door glass, as it will scratch the reflective coating. The oven interior and door glass may be cleaned using a soft cloth with a mild soap and water, or vinegar and water solution. After cleaning, rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Steam Clean

The Steam Clean feature is for cleaning light soil from your oven.

To use the Steam Clean feature:

1. Start with the oven at room temperature.

2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven.

3. Pour 1/2 cup of water onto the bottom of the oven.

4. Close the door.

5. Turn both your Oven Mode Knob and Oven Temperature

Knob to Steam Clean Setting.

Do not open the door during the Steam Cleaning cycle. At the end of the Steam Clean cycle, soak up the remaining water, and wipe the moisture-softened soil from the oven walls and door.

Oven Exterior

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Oven Racks

All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.

After cleaning the racks, use a soft cloth or paper towel to rub a small amount of vegetable oil on the left and right edges of the rack. This will ensure the racks are easy to slide in and out of the oven.

COOKTOP

Control Panel and Knobs

Wipe the control panel after each use of the oven with a damp cloth. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.

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

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface. To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or

a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge.

To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

For easier cleaning, the control knobs may be removed by pulling them directly outwards once the knobs are in the OFF position. Do not pull knobs up or down or hang objects on them. This can damage the gas valve shaft. When removing the tri-ring (on some models) and the dual-oval (on some models) burner knobs, remember their location. While all other knobs are interchangeable, these knobs must be placed in the same location after cleaning. See the Surface Burner section for a detailed view of these knobs. The knobs can be washed by hand with soap and water or in a dishwasher.
