Grates
The grates on this range cover the full width of the cooktop. The
two grates may interlock (on some models), using the hook formed
into one end of both grates. The flat end of one grate drops onto
the hook on the other grate as shown in the following illustration.
On some models, the two grates are identical and can be used on
either the left or right side of the cooktop. Grates that are designed
for use on only one side of the cooktop will have either "LEFT" or
"RIGHT" embossed on the bottom side of the grate.
A. Burner cap C. Alignment pins
B. Burner base D. Igniter
E Gas tube opening
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner Cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and
uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and
routinely remove and clean the caps according to the "General
Cleaning" section.
Gas Tube Opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil,
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material
to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube
by always using a burner cap.
Griddle installed on right side of cooktop
To Use the Griddle:
1. Locate the griddle on the right side grate as shown. The
locating feet on the bottom of the griddle will engage the grate
tines to keep the griddle from sliding.
2. Before each use, brush on a thin layer of cooking oil to keep
food from sticking. Cooking sprays may leave a sticky residue
on the griddle that is hard to remove.
3. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes. Preheating the griddle slowly
will ensure even heat distribution and will avoid warping the
griddle.
4. For preheating and cooking, set the front burner to the lowest
heat setting and the rear burner to medium-high heat for best
performance.
NOTE: The griddle may also be used on the left side grate. For
best results, the rear burner setting should be set to Medium-
Low or Medium, and the front burner setting should be set to
Low.
To Clean the Griddle:
1. Let the griddle cool, and then empty the drip tray.
2. See the "General Cleaning" section for cleaning instructions.
3. Store griddle in a cool dry place.

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.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or
light should be visible between it and the cookware.

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.
Bakng and Roast ng
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast cycle, the
oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take
approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°0) with all of
the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity.
Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle
rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven
temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat
lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that
when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the
proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds.
Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to
maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or
cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door
while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could
impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to
use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in
the non-convection bake mode to improve oven performance.
Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the
oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise
temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil
elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection
range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled
on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the best
results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in
use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not
necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting
food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Steam Bake
The Steam Bake function works in conjunction with the steam rack
to provide additional moisture during baking. The steam rack
contains a water reservoir which heats up and releases steam in to
the oven cavity during the steam bake cycle. There are
3 preprogrammed food options to choose from: Breads, Desserts
and Fish, as well as a Refresh/Reheat option.
For best performance, place the steam rack in the lowest available
rack position in the cavity and pour 1V2cups (350 mL) of water into
the reservoir. Do not fill past the MAX level indicated on the
reservoir.
After the steam bake cycle is complete, some water may remain in
the reservoir. This is normal. Wait for the oven to cool and discard
the water.
BroJ ng
No preheating is necessary, unless recommended otherwise in the
recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in
the center of the oven rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling
temperature.
Changing the temperature when Custom Broiling allows more
precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the
slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of
meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use
racks 6 or 7 for broiling. Use rack position 6 if using the roll-out
rack. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section for
more information.
• For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
Ifyou would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered.
Please refer to the "Accessories" section for more information.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is
used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Convect on Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
During convection cooking, the bake and broil burners, convection
(true convection only) element and fan cycle on and off in intervals
to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot
air.
NOTE: The convection fan will turn on approximately 5 minutes
into any convection cycle.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will
turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is
closed.
NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.
Position the racks according to the "Positioning Racks and
Bakeware" section before starting convection cooking.
