COOKTOP USE

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 MediumLow or Medium, and the front burner setting should be set to Low.

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.

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.

Sealed Surface Burners

Burner Size Recommended Use

Small

■ Low-heat cooking

■ Melting chocolate or butter

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.

Stainless steel

■ Heats quickly, but unevenly.

■ A core or base of aluminum or copper

on stainless steel provides even heating.

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

Electronic Oven Controls

■ 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.

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

■ Position racks before turning on the oven.

■ Do not move racks with bakeware on them.

■ Make sure racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.

The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following table.

Flat Rack Position* Type of Food

7 Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers,

steaks 6 Broiled meats, poultry, fish 3 or 4 Most baked goods, casseroles 2 Roasted meats 1 Large roasts or poultry

For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

A. Ends of rack in position 3 B. Food in position 2

IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max Capacity Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as shown in the previous figure.

Multiple Rack Cooking

2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5 for regular or convection baking. 3-rack (True convection only): Use rack positions 2, 4 and 6. NOTE: The roll-out rack, which is available on some models, sits

midway between adjacent rack positions. When used for 3-rack baking, it is recommended that it be placed in rack position 2. The roll-out rack will fit in all rack positions except rack position 7.

Best Performance on 2 Racks

For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 2 and 5 with the Bake function. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. For best results baking 2 racks of cookies, use racks 2 and 5 with the Bake function.

*If your model has a Max Capacity Rack, the recessed ends must

be placed in the rack position above the desired position of the food. See the following illustration.

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.

If you would like to purchase a split-oven rack, one may be ordered. See “Accessories” section to order.

2. Using 2 hands, gently pull the sliding rack and the rack frame at

the same time to the “V” cutout. Angle the rack so that the front is higher than the back, and gently pull rack past “V” cutout and then out of the oven.

To avoid damage to the sliding rack, do not place more than 25 lbs (11.4 kg) on the rack.

Do not clean the roll-out rack in a dishwasher. It may remove the rack’s lubricant and affect its ability to slide.

See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.

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.

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:

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.

Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

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.
