COOKTOP USE
WARNING
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 cookware on the grate.
The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
To S et :
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW.
REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
Ultra Power™ Burner Feature
The left front burner is designed to give maximum power when fully on. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of food.
Even-Heat™ Simmer Burner Feature
The Even-Heat™ Simmer Burner feature allows for more precise simmering and low temperature cooking. It is the right rear burner.
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 desired setting.
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.
Griddle
Griddle installed on right side of cooktop
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.
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, then empty the drip tray.
2. See the “General Cleaning” section for cleaning instructions.
3. Store griddle in a cool dry place.

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown in the previous illustration. 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 C le an:
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.

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 well­fitting 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.

For best results, the cookware should be centered above the burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS Aluminum
Heats quickly and evenly.
Suitable for all types of cooking.
Medium or heavy thickness is best for
most cooking tasks.
Cast iron
Heats slowly and evenly.
Good for browning and frying.
Maintains heat for slow cooking.
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 above the burner.
OVEN USE
The normal operation of the range will include several noises that may be heard each time the Bake or Broil burners ignite during the cooking cycle:
gas valves may make a “popping” sound when opening or
closing
igniters will “click” several times until a flame is sensed
a “poof” sound is heard when a Bake or Broil burner ignites
Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
For more information, contact your local agricultural extension
office, or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.
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.

Split Oven Rack (on some models)
Split-Rack with Removable Insert
The split-rack with removable insert is a space maximizer. When the two are attached, they make a full rack. The insert can also be removed to provide room for large items such as a turkey and casseroles. Do not place more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on the split­rack.
The insert can also be used on the counter as a cooling rack.

Baking and Roasting
Temperature Management System
The oven control system electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake burner cycles on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan may run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during baking to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.
The convection fan will not be on during the first 5 minutes of the cycle.
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.
Broiling
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, 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.
Preheating
When START is pressed, “LO” will be displayed and the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected temperature will appear on the display. The time necessary to preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) will be approximately 15 minutes, depending on the model. Factors that have an impact on preheat times are: room temperature, starting oven temperature, quality of the gas supply, and the number of oven racks. Unused oven racks can be removed prior to preheating your oven to reduce preheat time.
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. 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.
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.
Convection 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.
With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature or at a shorter time. These adjustments can be made using the following chart or by using the EasyConvect™ Conversion feature on your range.

Proofing Bread
Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Standard Proof should be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first and second rise. Rapid Proof (on some models) operates at a slightly higher temperature than Standard Proof, and it can be used for the second rise of formed dough.
To P roof :
Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place on rack guide 2 and close the oven door.
NOTE: If the temperature of the oven is greater than 100°F (38°C), “oven cooling” will be displayed until the temperature is less than 100°F (38°C).
RANGE CARE
Clean Cycle
AquaLift™ Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odor­free alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), “OVEN COOLING” will appear in the display, and the Clean cycle will not be activated until the oven cavity cools down.
1. Press BREAD PROOF until the desired proof is displayed
(“Stndrd Proof” or “Rapid Proof”). Rapid Bread Proofing is available only on some models.
2. Press START.
Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type and quantity.
3. Press OFF when finished proofing. Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking pan(s)
and cover loosely. Follow the same placement and control steps above. Before baking, remove the cover.
NOTE: If the oven temperature is greater than 100°F (38°C), the display will indicate “oven cooling” until the temperature is below 100°F (38°C).
2. Pour 1¾ cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of distilled or filtered water onto
the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.
To Clean:
1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity and
wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easily­removed soils.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean cycle. The water on the oven bottom is hot.
3. Press AQUALIFT SELF CLEAN and then START on the oven
control panel.
4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cool down. A beep will
sound when the Clean cycle is complete.
5. Press OFF at the end of the cycle. OFF may be pressed at any
time to stop the Clean cycle.
6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge or
cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of the initial 1¾ cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of water will remain in the oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils remain, leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom to assist with the cleaning.
