COOKTOP USE

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 Set:

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.

Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW.

REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Ultra Power TM 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 TM Simmer Burner Feature

The Even-Heat TM 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.

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 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.

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.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS Ceramic or • Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Ceramic glass • Heats slowly, but unevenly.

• Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.

Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.

• May leave copper residues, which may be diminished if cleaned immediately

after cooking

Earthenware/ • Follow manufacturer's instructions. Stoneware

enamel-on-steel or cast iron

Stainless steel • Heats quickly, but unevenly.

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 on low heat settings.

• See stainless steel or cast iron.Porcelain

• A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.

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.

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 well-

ventilated room.

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.

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.

Preheating

When START is pressed, "LO" will be displayed and the oven will begin preheating. Once 100°F (38°C) 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 TM Conversion feature on your range.

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 Proof:

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

OAquaLift

technology

AquaLift TM 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, odor- free 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).

Pour 13Acups (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 easily-

removed 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 asponge or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of

the initial 13Acups (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.
