Cooktop
Using the surface burners
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with
an auto-reignition system. The sealed burners spread the heat evenly across the bottom of the cookware and provide infinite
heat control. The auto-reignition system
senses when a burner flame has gone out
and will automatically reignite that burner.
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set
for use with Natural Gas. If you wish to
use L.P. gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit
is included with your new range. See the
appropriate section of the Installation
Instructions for details on making this
conversion.
When to use the right rear
and left front burners:
10,000 BTU burner
When to use the left rear and
right front burners:
6,000 BTU burner
6,000 BTU burner
Use these burners for simmering or for
cooking smaller quantities of food requiring
small cookware.
10,000 BTU burner
Use these burners for cooking large quantities of food, deep-fat frying, or cooking with
large cookware.

Home canning information
The large diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can cause
damage to the cooktop.
The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan
material and how evenly heat spr eads over t he pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the
best cooking results.
Aluminum
• Heats quickly and evenly.
• Use for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Cast iron
• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
Ceramic or
ceramic glass
• Heats s low ly a nd uneve nly.
• Use on low to medium settings.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Copper
• Heats very quickly and evenly.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Earthenware
• Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Use on low settings.
Porcelain enamel-on-steel
or enamel-on-cast iron
• See cast iron and stainless steel.
Stainless steel
• Heats q uick ly but une ve nly.
• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware
provides even heating.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
Cookware tips
For up-to-date information on canning, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural
Department Extension Office or companies
who manufacture home canning products.
To protect your range:
• Center the canner over the surface burner.
Do not extend more than 1 inch (2.54 cm)
outside the burner area.
• Do not place your canner on two surface
burners at the same time.
• Start with hot water, cover with a lid and
bring to a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or required pressure levels in a
pressure canner.
•
Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
Using the right cookware makes a
big difference
• The pan should have a flat bottom, straight
sides, and a well-fitting lid.
• Choose medium to heavy gauge
(thickness) cookware.
• The pan material (metal or glass) affects
how quickly and evenly the pan heats.
• When using glass or ceramic cookware,
check to make sure it is suitable for use on
surface burners.
• To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans
are centered on the grates.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop
Caring for your cooktop
Your cooktop is designed for ease of care.
You can do most cleaning with items found
around the home. Cleaning your cooktop
whenever spills or soiling occur will help to
keep it looking and operating like new.
NOTES:
• Before cleaning make sure all controls
are off and the cooktop is cool.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air.
• If knobs are removed while cleaning, be
careful not to spill liquids through holes in
the control area.
• Be careful not to allow moisture to collect
in control area. Moisture could cause ignitor switches to fail.
Surface burners
• The burner caps should be routinely re-
moved and cleaned. Always clean burner
caps after a spillover. Keeping the burner
caps clean prevents improper ignition and
an uneven flame.
• For proper flow of gas and ignition of the
burner, DO NOTALLOW SPILLS, FOOD,
CLEANING AGENTS, OR ANY OTHER
MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS TUBE
OPENING.
• Occasionally check the burner flames for
proper size and shape as shown later in
this section. Agood flame is blue in color.
If flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are
noisy when turned off, you may need to
clean the burners.
To clean burners and burner caps:
Burner cap
Ignitor
Gas tube
opening
(orifice)
1. Lift the burner cap straight up from the
burner base.
2. Clean burner cap with warm, soapy water
and a sponge. For stubborn stains, clean
with a mildly abrasive plastic scrubbing
pad and powdered cleanser. Wipe dry. Do
not clean burner cap in dishwasher.
3. If the gas tube opening or the orifice,
located inside the opening, has become
soiled or clogged, use a cotton swab or
a soft cloth to clean the area.
4. If ports are clogged, clean with a
straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort
port. Do not leave anything stuck in
the ports.
5. After cleaning the gas tube opening and
ports, replace the burner cap. To replace burner cap, make sure cap is
properly aligned and leveled.
6. Check the burner after cleaning for proper
lighting.
NOTE: To check oven burner flames for
proper size and shape, see the Installation
Instructions also included with the range.

Cooking tips
Baking tips
The hot air must circulate around the pans
in the oven for even heat to reach all parts
of the oven. This results in better baking.
For best air circulation:
• Place the pans so that one is not directly
over the other.
• For best results, allow 11⁄2 to 2 inches
(3 to 5 cm) of space around each pan and
between pans and oven walls.
• When baking with one pan, place pan in
the center of the oven rack.
• When baking with two pans, place pans
in opposite corners of the oven rack.
NOTES:
• “Oven peeking” may cause heat loss,
longer cooking times, and unsatisfactory
baking or roasting results. Rely on your
timer.
• Do not allow pans to touch the heat
sensor on the left wall near the back.
Poor baking may result.
• Do not use aluminum foil when baking.
Aluminum foil may block airflow.

Rack positions
Your oven has three straight racks and five
rack positions. Rack position 5 is the highest position, or farthest from the bottom of
the oven. Rack position 1 is the lowest position, or closest to the bottom of the oven.
Baking tips
(BAKE pad)
For proper cooking, follow these
guidelines:
• When using one rack, place the rack so
the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.
• When using more than one rack, use
the Convection Bake setting.
• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at
a time when using the Bake setting.
Bakeware tips
• When baking with insulated cookie
sheets or baking pans, place them in the
bottom third of the oven. You may need to
increase the recommended baking times,
so test for doneness before removing
from the oven.
• When using ovenproof glassware or
dark bakeware, reduce the oven tempera-
ture by 25°F (16°C), but use the same
baking time. Because these pans absorb
heat, producing darker bottom browning
and crispier crusts, place the rack in the
center of the oven. When baking pies and
bread, you can use the temperature suggested in the recipe.
Rack placement for specific foods:
(For rack positions, see “Rack positions” in
previous column.)

Convection baking tips
(CONVECTION BAKE pad)
• Do not use aluminum foil when convection
baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.
•
Reduce recommended standard cooking temperatures by approximately 25°F (16°C). The
cooking times can also be reduced for most
recipes. See recipes and cooking charts in
your convection oven cookbook for recommended temperatures and times, or use EASY
CONVECT™ Conversion (later in this section).
NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when
you use more than one rack.
• When baking on two or three racks, use
the Convection Bake setting for more even
results. (You can, however, use only one rack
when Convection Baking.)
• To use three racks during convection
baking, place one rack in position 5 (the
highest position), another rack in position
1 (the closest to the oven bottom), and the
third rack in position 3. This allows all three
racks to be an equal distance apart for
better baking.
• Stagger cake pans or other cookware in
opposite directions on each rack when
three racks are used.
