®Visually check that the burner has lit. If the

burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If you do not hear the ignitor click,

TURN THE BURNER OFR Check that the service cord is placed firmly in the wall

receptacle. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.

Check that the control knob is pressed completeJy down on valve shaft. If the spark ignitor still fails to operate, call your nearest designated service outlet.

Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation of the electric ignitionsystem. If the wall receptacle does not provide correct polarity, the ignitor will become grounded and click every once in a while, even after the burner has ignited. A qualified electrician should check the wall receptacle to see if itis wired with correct polarity

Fire Hazard

Do not metthe burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan. Turn off ammcontrols when not cooking. Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death or fire.

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.

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 main-

tain a boil or required pressure levels in a

pressure canner.

• Refer to your canner manual for specific

instructions.

• For up-to-date information on canning, In the United States, contact your local U.S.

Government Agricultural Department Extension Office or companies who manufacture home canning products. In

Canada, contact Agriculture Canada.

Using the right cookware makes a

big difference

• The pan should have a fiat 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.

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the 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.

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 igni-

tor 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 NOT ALLOW 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. A good 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

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 re-

place burner cap, make sure cap is properly aligned and leveled.

6. Check the burner after cleaning for proper lighting.

!!sing and Caring forYour Cooktop

,¸

Your cooktop is designed for easy care. However, you need to maintain your

ceramic glass surface differently than you

would standard porcelain or glass surfaces.

Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn off. You should keep the surface dust

free and soil free before heating.

The surface has been prepolished at the

factory for improved protection and easier

cleaning. The Cooktop Polishing Creme included with your range, paper towels or

a sponge, and a single-edge razor blade in the holder are all you need to clean your

cooktop. For proper cleaning methods, please review "Cleaning tips" later in this

section.

Follow them each time you use your cooktop. This will ensure you get the best

performance out of your cooktop, as well as preserve that uniquely elegant look.

NOTE: Let the surface cool before cleaning.

To avoid damaging the surface, follow these instructions:

• Remove sugar spills and soils from the cooktop while the surface is still warm to

avoid pitting on the surface.

• Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning pads, gritty powdered cleansers, chlorine

bleach, rust remover, ammonia, or glass cleaning products with ammonia. These

could damage the cooktop surface.

Cleaning tips

What to use:

• Cooktop Polishing Creme included with

your cooktop with a paper towel or clean, damp sponge. This creme has been

developed especially for cleaning and polishing your cooktop. When using, follow

instructions on container.

• Razor scraper - Use to remove cooked- on soils from your ceramic glass cooktop.

To avoid scratches, keep the razor blade as flat against the cooktop as possible.

Store razor blades out of reach of children. (Not included with your range.)

• Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning pads, abrasive powdered cleansers,

chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia, or glass cleaning products with ammonia.

These products could damage the cooktop surface.

Steps to follow:

1. Most spills can be wiped off easily

using a paper towel or clean, damp sponge as soon as Hot Surface

Indicator Light goes off.

2. For stubborn spills, rub Cooktop

Polishing Creme into cooked-on soil us- ing a paper towel. If some soil remains,

leave some creme on the spot(s) and fol- low Step 3.

3. Carefully scrape spots with the razor

scraper.

4. Finish by polishing entire cooktop

with Cooktop Polishing Creme and a

paper towel.

To order Cooktop Polishing Creme (Part No. 9753543) or razor scraper (Part

No. 3183488), call 1-800-422-1230 (in Canada, 1-800-461-5681 ) and follow the

instructions and telephone prompts you hear.

NOTE: Always wipe and dry your cooktop thoroughly after using cleanser to prevent

streaking or staining.

cleaning only.

• The broil burner cycles for the first

30 minutes.

• After 30 minutes, the bake burner cycles at the clean temperature.

Baking tips Rack positions

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: No.

• Place the pans so that one is not directly No. over the other.

• For best results, allow 1/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.

Your oven has five rack positions. Rack position 5 is the highest position, or farthest

from the bottom of the oven. Rack position

bottom of the oven.

NO.

1 is the lowest position, or closest to the

Baking tips

(BAKE pad)

• 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.

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 aloneness before removing from the oven.

sing and Caring forYour Oven

• When using ovenproof glassware or

dark bakeware, reduce the oven

temperature 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

_revious column.)

RACK

FOOD POSITION

Frozen pies 2 Angel food and bundt cakes,

most quick breads, yeast 1 or 2 breads, casseroles, meats

Cookies, biscuits, muffins, 2 or 3 cakes, nonfrozen pies

NOTE: For additional baking tips see "Baking or convection baking" in this section.

Using aluminum foil

• Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners, or cookware.

Permanent damage will occur to the

oven bottom finish.

• Do not block the oven bottom vents.

• Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil. Doing so will reduce air

circulation and overall oven performance.

• To catch spillovers from pies or casseroles place foil on the oven rack

below. Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1 inch larger than dish.

• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry to slow down surface browning

for long term roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.

• Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if browning too quickly.

Convection baking tips

(CONVECTION BAKEpad on some models)

• 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 recom- mended temperatures and times, or use EASY

CONVECT TM 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.

sing and Caring forYour Oven

Roasting tips

• Spatter can be reduced by lining the • bottom of the roasting pan with lightly

crushed aluminum foil.

• Use an accurate meat thermometer or temperature probe (available on some

models; see "Using the temperature probe" later in this section) to determine when meat has reached desired degree of aloneness. Insert the thermometer or probe into the center of the thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. For an accurate reading, the tip of the thermometer or probe should not touch fat, bone, or gristle.

• After reading the thermometer once, push it further into the meat / inch (1 cm) or more and read again, tf the temperature drops, return the meat to the oven for more cooking. •

• Check pork and poultry with a thermometer in 2-3 places to ensure adequate doneness.

• Poultry and roasts will be easier to carve if loosely covered with foil and

allowed to stand 10-15 minutes after removal from the oven.

You can reduce roasting times and temperatures for most standard recipes

when using the Convection Roast setting (available on some models). See recipe

adaption chart or convection-roasting chart in your convection oven cookbook for

recommended roasting times and temperatures, or use EASY CONVECT TM

Conversion (later in this section).

Use the convection roasting rack on the broiler pan (both included with some

models). (The convection roasting rack rests on the broiler pan, not inside it.) The

long side of the rack should be parallel with the oven door for best heat distribution and

airflow. NOTE: Place the convection roasting rack

on the broiler pan with grid to contain the drippings as the meat/poultry roasts.
