WARNING

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 anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following

chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED 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.

IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural gas. If you wish to use LP gas, an LP Gas Conversion Kit is included with your new range. See the instructions included with the LP Gas conversion kit for details on making this conversion.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LITE.

The large burners (15,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units]) provide the highest heat setting, and are ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using large pots and pans. For simmering, use the Simmer Plate provided with the range.

The small burners (6,000 Btu/h) allow more accurate simmer control at the lowest setting, and are ideal for cooking smaller quantities of food, using smaller pots and pans.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without any cookware on the grate.

NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.

Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained repair specialist.

Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle or junction box does not provide correct polarity, the igniter will become grounded and occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle or junction box to see whether it is wired with the correct polarity.

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 HI. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

Cooktop Surface

Wiping off the cooktop, grates and caps before and after each use will help keep it free from stains.

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

For more information, see the “Sealed Surface Burners” and “General Cleaning” sections.

Simmer Plate

■ The Simmer Plate is made of aluminum with a nonstick

coating to evenly spread the heat over the bottom of cookware.

■ Channels on the bottom of the Simmer Plate have been

designed so it fits properly and securely over the grate. See above illustration.

■ The Simmer Plate may be used on large and small surface

burners.

■ Use the Simmer Plate with burner settings in the medium to

low range on the cooktop when lower temperatures are needed for simmering, or for maintaining food at a low temperature over an extended period of time.

See “Assistance or Service” section to order extra Simmer Plates.

Sealed Surface Burners

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

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. Protect it from spillovers by always using a burner cap.

A. 1-1¹⁄₂" (25-38 mm) B. Burner ports

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown above. 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 lea n:

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.

A. Burner cap B. Burner base C. Alignment pins D. Igniter E. Gas tube opening

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.

4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are

properly aligned with the burner cap.

A. Incorrect B. Correct

5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap

alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the sealed burner yourself. 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 well-fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

HomeCanning

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.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural

department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

Preheating

The time the oven takes to preheat will vary according to the set temperature. It will also vary according to the existing oven cavity temperature, which is measured by the oven cavity sensor. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ.

After a temperature is set and ENTER is pressed, the oven begins to preheat once the door is closed. The display will alternate between “PrE” and actual temperature as the oven preheats. When the set temperature is reached, a tone will sound. If the oven timer has been set, the oven time will begin to count down.

Limit opening the oven door while the oven is preheating as this will prolong the preheating cycle.

ChangingOvenTimerorTemperature

Time and temperature can be changed during the cooking cycles.

To change time and/or temperature:

1. Press the ENTER button. The set temperature is displayed

with the “F” flashing in the display. Turn the Set Knob to the desired temperature.

2. Press the ENTER button again. The set time is displayed with

the Cook Time indicator light flashing. Turn the Set Knob to the desired time.

3. Press the ENTER button again, and the changes will take

effect.

NOTE: Changing the temperature and/or time setting is a 3-step process. Each time the Enter button is pressed, the control advances to the next step. It is not necessary to change both the temperature and time settings. To skip a step, press the Enter button to advance to the next step.

MeatThermometer

On models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat, poultry and fish. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.

■ Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion

of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.

■ After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat

½" (1.3 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

■ Check all meat, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places.

Broiling

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food.

A. Broil element (example only)

Changing the broil setting allows more precise control when cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures. See the following Broil Settings chart.

■ Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is

designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The

bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on

the edges to avoid curling.

■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing

food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

■ After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing

the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Settings chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack.

To Use Broil:

CONVECTION COOKING

During convection cooking, the fan provides increased hot air circulation continuously and more consistently throughout the oven. The movement of heated air around the food helps to speed up cooking by penetrating the cooler outer surfaces. Food cooks more evenly, browning and crisping outer surfaces while sealing moisture inside.

Many foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures 25°F (10°C) and/or cooking time can be shortened by as much as 30 percent. By using multiple racks, more food can be cooked at the same time.

■ It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain

exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.

■ Keep heat loss to a minimum by only opening the oven door

when necessary.

■ Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with

lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.

■ Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the

minimum cooking time with an alternative method such as using a toothpick.

■ Use a meat thermometer to determine the doneness of meats

and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 different places.

■ Before convection baking or roasting, position the rack(s)

according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

Convection Baking

In the Convect Bake function, the ring element operates, along with the fan, to provide an indirect source of heat in the oven cavity. Use Convect Bake for single or multiple rack baking and cooking foods such as cookies, cakes, biscuits and casseroles.

■ When using more than one rack, position bakeware/

cookware on the racks to allow movement of the fan circulated air around the food. See the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

■ If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.

During Convect Bake preheating, the fan, and the bake and broil elements heat the oven cavity. When preheating is finished, the ring element cycles to maintain the oven temperature while the fan continues to constantly circulate the heated air.

If the oven door is opened during convection baking or preheating, the element(s) and fan will turn off immediately. Once the door is closed, they will come back on.

■ For optimal cooking results, do not cover food with aluminum

foil.

To Use Convection Bake:

1. Turn the SELECTOR knob to CONVECT BAKE. The display

will read 325°F (165°C).

2. Turn the SET knob to desired temperature. See the

“Changing Oven Timer or Temperature” section. The convection bake range can be set between 170°F and

500°F (75°C and 260°C).

STEAM-ASSISTED COOKING

NOTE: For 208V installations it is recommended that cooking temperatures be increased by 15°F (8°C) to adjust for reduced voltage.

Steam-assisted cooking builds on the benefits of convection cooking by helping to retain moisture, texture and flavor in food. Steam or moisture is automatically added during the cooking cycles. There are 2 categories of steam-assisted cooking: Auto Steam and Select Steam.

■ Steam eliminates the need for the use of parchment paper

wraps (for cooking fish), water baths and spritzing during the cooking process.

■ When cooking with steam, place meat, poultry, fish and

desserts into a cool oven. If the oven is hot from previous cooking, allow the oven to cool down before steam cooking.

■ Optimum levels of moisture are introduced at the appropriate

time during the cooking cycles.

■ Specially developed cycles enhance browning on meats,

poultry and bread.

■ When baking bread, preheating is required.

■ For best results, the use of distilled water is recommended.

■ The range must be set to one of the steam functions in order

to fill the system with water.

■ The reservoir will hold 8 cups (2,000 mL) of water.

■ Do not fill the reservoir with any liquid other than water.

■ The convection fan will run continuously during all steam

functions except Desserts. The convection fan will cycle on and off during the Desserts function.

Reference the “Cooking Charts” section when using steamassisted cooking and to help you convert your own recipes. Also, reference the Auto Steam cookbook provided with the range.

Auto Steam

Auto Steam has 5 settings; Meats, Poultry, Fish, Bread and Desserts. Auto Steam settings have preset temperature and time settings to guide the cooking process. Choose the type of food being cooked, and a suggested temperature and the time will appear on the display. If desired, both the temperature and time can be changed according to recipe recommendation.

NOTE: Avoid opening door during a cycle requiring steam. If the oven door is opened steam production is automatically shut off until the door is closed.

Dessert 275°F (135°C) 0:30

Auto Steam Settings

Meats

The Meats setting gives best results with tender cuts of meat that would typically be dry roasted.

The Meats setting has 2 phases. During the first phase, the oven temperature will automatically rise above the set temperature for optimal browning conditions.

■ Most of the browning will occur during this phase; this is

normal.

During the second phase, the temperature is reduced to the set temperature. Steam is added to provide a moist environment to maintain the juiciness of your meat.

■ During this phase, very little exterior browning will occur.

NOTE: Restarting the cycle will overcook and/or overbrown food. Instead, change the time and/or temperature.

When using the Meats setting:

■ Use the broiler pan, grid and roasting rack for best results.

■ Preheating is not recommended.

■ Lower standard baking temperature by 25°F (15°C).

■ Roasting time may need to be reduced by up to 20 percent

compared to convection and traditional roasting times.

■ Use a meat thermometer to gauge doneness of food.

With traditional roasting, standing time is included before carving. The internal temperature will usually increase 5°F to 10°F (2°C to 5°C) during standing time. When roasting with the Auto Steam Meats setting, the internal temperature may increase 15°F to 20°F (5°C to 10°C) during stand time; therefore, it is necessary to stop cooking and remove the meat at a lower internal temperature than with conventional roasting.

Temperature Display Oven Timer

Poultry

The Poultry setting gives best results with poultry that would typically be dry roasted.

The Poultry setting has 2 phases. During the first phase, the oven temperature will automatically rise above the set temperature for optimal browning conditions.

■ Most of the browning will occur during this phase. This is

normal.

During the second phase, the temperature is reduced to the set temperature. Steam is added to provide a moist environment to maintain the juiciness of your poultry.

■ During this phase, very little exterior browning will occur.

NOTE: Restarting the cycle will overcook and/or overbrown food. Instead, change the time and/or temperature.

When using the Poultry setting:

■ Use the broiler pan, grid and roasting rack for best results.

■ Preheating is not recommended.

■ Roasting time may need to be reduced up to 20 percent

compared to convection and traditional roasting times.

■ Use a meat thermometer to gauge doneness of food.

Fish

The Fish setting bakes at a lower temperature than traditional baking. This gives you moist, tender, evenly-cooked fish with results similar to those achieved when steaming fish in parchment paper. You can cook fillets, steaks or whole fish with this setting.

■ Use the broiler pan, grid and roasting rack or a low-sided

baking pan for best results.

■ Preheating is not recommended.

■ Very little to no browning will occur throughout the cycle. If

browning is desired, use a higher temperature. The fish will be moister than when conventional baking.

Bread

The Bread setting gives best results when baking yeast breads. With the addition of steam to the cycle, you no longer need to spritz with water or add moisture into the oven to achieve a crispy crust and moist interior.

■ Preheating is required.

■ Lower standard baking temperature by 25°F (15°C).

■ Baking times may be slightly less than with standard baking.

■ If you are using a baking stone, place it in the oven on rack

1 before beginning the cycle.

The oven will preheat to a temperature higher than the set temperature. It will then begin adding steam so the bread dough will go into a moist, hot environment, which is best for rising and crust development.

After preheat, place the bread dough in the oven as quickly as possible and close the door. The oven temperature will reduce to the set temperature, and a small amount of moisture will be added. The remainder of the cycle is dry heat for optimal browning.

Desserts

The Desserts setting gives best results for delicate desserts such as crème brulee and cheesecake that are typically baked in a water bath. This setting also works well for other custard based dishes, souffles, and pies.

■ Preheating is not recommended.

■ Lower standard baking temperature by 25°F (15°C).

■ Allows the center of a dessert to bake without overcooking

the outer edges.

■ It is not necessary to cook with a water bath.

■ No need to shield edges of pie crust with foil.

The convection fan is on only when steam is introduced into the cycle to distribute the moisture evenly. To minimize the creation of a skin on the surface of foods, convection is not used at any other time in this setting.
