COOKTOP USE

Power failure

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting. Do not use the grill or griddle during a power failure. The vent fan will not work.

Sealed Surface Burners

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LITE.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without having cookware on the grate.

To Set:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.

All 4 surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following

chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

B. Burner ports

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.

To Cl ea n:

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.

1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean

according to “General Cleaning” section.

2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.

3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do

not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist.

4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are

properly aligned with the burner cap.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

A. Incorrect B. Correct

5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap

alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

■ Center the canner on the grate.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural

department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

OVEN USE

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and wellventilated room.

BAKEWARE

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.

NUMBER OF PAN(S)

POSITION ON RACK

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware.

■ On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover

the oven bottom vents.

■ Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to

move freely for best cooking results.

■ To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is

at least ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

RECOMMENDATIONS

■ Use temperature and time

recommended in recipe.

■ May need to reduce baking

temperatures slightly.

■ Use suggested baking time.

■ For pies, breads and casseroles,

use temperature recommended in recipe.

■ Place rack in center of oven.

■ Place in the bottom third of oven.

■ May need to increase baking time.

■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ May need to reduce baking

temperatures slightly.

A. Oven vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Baking and Roasting

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.

To Bake or Roast:

1. Press BAKE.

2. Press TEMP or TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set

a temperature other than 350°F (175°C) in 5°F (5°C) amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (75°C and 260°C).

When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F (77°C), no preheat conditioning time will be shown in the display. The preheat conditioning time will not change if the temperature is reset before the countdown time ends.

3. Press START or START/ENTER. The temperature can be

changed after this step. The start pad does not need to be pressed again.

If baking and roasting while the minute timer is counting down, the set temperature can be seen for 5 seconds by pressing BAKE.

4. Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished.

Meat Thermometer

On models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat, poultry and fish. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.

■ Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion

of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.

■ After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat

½" (1.3 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

■ Check all meat, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places.

Preheating

After the start pad is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat conditioning. “PrE” (on some models) and the countdown time will appear on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.

Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ due to the cycling of the elements.

Waiting an additional 10 minutes, after the preheat conditioning time ends, to put food in the oven is suggested when baking foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda and eggs.

Broiling and Custom Broiling

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (provided on some

models). It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number 4396923.

■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The

bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on

the edges to avoid curling.

■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing

food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

■ After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing

the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.

To B r o il :

1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.

2. Press START or START/ENTER.

3. Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished. To Custom Broil:

1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.

2. Press TEMP or TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to

Timed Cooking

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to cook in 2 different ways. The oven can be set to start cooking immediately and shut off automatically at the end of the cooking time. Or, the oven can be set to start at a later time, cook for a specified length of time and shut off automatically at the end of the cooking time.

Foods that require a preheated oven should not be cooked using a delayed function.

Style 1 - Electronic Oven Control (see “Electronic Oven Controls” section

To Set a Timed Cook:

1. Press BAKE (optional).

2. Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads to enter a

temperature other than the one displayed.

3. Press STOP TIME.

4. Press the HR and MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads to enter

the desired time to end cooking.

5. Press START. The display will count down the time.

When the time ends, the oven will shut off automatically and “End” will appear on the display. End-of-cycle tones will sound; then, if enabled, reminder tones will sound every minute.

6. Open and close the oven door to clear the display and/or

stop reminder tones.
