Removing, replacing and arranging racks

Always use pot holders or oven mitts

when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior

and exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks,

bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor

baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the oven.

Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven). To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace - fit oven rack onto the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward and slide the rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

Types of oven racks

flat oven rack

The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs.

The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than flat oven racks. This design provides several additional possible positions between the flat rack positions.

Air circulation in the oven

For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food (See Fig. 3 ).

Setting proper burner flame size

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

Correct flame setting

Incorrect flame setting

Please note: The size and type of utensil used, and the

amount and type of food being cooked will influence the burner flame setting needed for best cooking results.

Cookware material types

The most popular materials available are:

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting).

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.

Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking

results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.

Glass - Slow heat conductor.

For most cooking; start on the highest setting and then

turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)

For deep fat frying;

surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be under cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown or cook properly.

Flame size* Type of cooking

High flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil;

Setting Surface Controls

Setting surface burners

Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared.

The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard size burners may be used for most surface cooking needs. Some models are equipped with a center burner.

The larger POWER burners (on some models) or TURBO BOIL burner (on some models) are recommended for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

To set surface burners:

1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate.

2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).

3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.

Important notes:

• DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the

LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the control knob setting remains in the LITE position .

• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE

position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.

• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two

different surface cooking areas at the same time. This can cause uneven heating results.

• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights push in and turn knob to desired setting.

Home canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

Conv Bake

Benefits of the convection bake feature

— Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and

energy. — Multiple rack baking. — No special pans or bakeware needed.

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (See Fig. 1). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.

Most food items will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature.

Conv Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (149°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Conv Bake:

• For optimum cooking results it is recommended to

preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.

• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s

recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

• When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in

positions 2 and 4 for best results (See Fig. 1).

Example - To set Conv Bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1. Press Conv Bake key pad.

• If the oven door is opened when any convection function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.

• When using convection bake cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

• Layer cakes will have better results using the normal Bake function.

Conv Roast

The Conv Roast function combines a cook cycle with the convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked with Conv Roast function will be juicer and poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.

Conv Roast may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (149°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Conv Roast:

• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using Conv Roast.

• Since Conv Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe (check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent the meat from browning properly.

Conv Convert

The Conv Convert function allows you to convert any baking recipe using the convection feature. The control uses the normal recipe settings and adjusts to a lower temperature for convection baking.

When Conv Convert is used with a cook time or a delay start setting, the convect convert feature will display a CF as a reminder to check food when the bake time is 75% complete (See Fig. 1). At this time the oven control will sound 1 long beep at regular intervals until the set cook time has finished.

Broil

Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil function temperature may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Be aware that the suggested broil settings table (Fig. 2) are recommendations only. Increase or decrease broiling times, or move to a different rack position to suit for doneness. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item closely.

Example - To set Broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F:

1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum browning results, preheat oven for 5 minutes before adding food.

2. Position cookware in oven. Close the oven door.

Flex Clean

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away aftwerwards with a damp cloth.

The Flex Clean function allows you to set any amout of cleaning time from 2 hours to 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning time is best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light soils and a 4-hour clean time for heavier stubborn soils.

Read before starting Flex Clean

Be sure to read all the following caution and important statements BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle:

DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the

outside of the range can become very hot to touch and can cause burns.

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks,

bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor

baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the oven.

• Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting a self-clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. 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 as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system.

Use caution when opening the oven door after self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

Important notes:

• Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY

ACCESSORIES FROM OVEN CAVITY to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they

may discolor.

• Remove ALL items from the oven and cooktop including

cookware, utensils and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self-clean cycle and will melt.

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings

in or around any part of the oven interior.

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner

outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom (See Fig. 1). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Flex Clean (See Fig. 1).

may be opened.

3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

Important notes:

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an

open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the 1st self-clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the 1st self-clean cycle.

Fig. 2

Delayed Start Flex Clean

Example - To start a delay Flex Clean with default clean time of 3 hours and a start time of 9:00 o’clock:

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day, the oven is empty and ALL oven racks are removed. Be sure oven door is completely closed.

2. Press Delay Start key pad.

2. If Flex Clean has heated the oven to a high temperature, allow enough time for the oven to cool and for the DOOR LOCKED message to turn OFF. When this message turns OFF the oven door may be opened.

3. Restart Flex Clean if needed.

Important notes:

• When Flex Clean function is active you may check the

amount of clean time remaining by pressing the Flex Clean key pad once.

• If Flex Clean is active and a power failure occurs, the

oven may not have thoroughly cleaned. This would depend on how much cleaning time had elapsed before the power failure. If needed after power is restored, set Flex Clean again.

• If your control is set with the default 12 hour display

mode, the Delay Flex Clean can only be set to start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes in advance. To set a Delay Start Flex Clean to begin 12 or more hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59 minutes) in advance, be sure to set the control for 24 hour display mode.

to accept.

• When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you will be able to open the oven door.

• The Flex Clean function will not operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON or the oven lockout is active.
