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

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.

Using the surface burners

Control Knobs

1. Grasp the control knob.

2. Push down and turn to HI. The electric

spark ignitor will ignite the gas flowing into the burner. When you hear a clicking sound, you know that the ignitors are working. Gas is flowing as long as knob is not set at OFF.

3. When the burner is lit, turn the control knob to the desired flame setting. (See the guide under “Burner heat settings” later in this section.) You can turn the knobs to any of the marked settings. The ignitor will turn off and the clicking will stop when the burner ignites.

NOTES:

• The ignitors may click a number of times

before burner lights. This is normal.

• All four burner ignitors will spark

regardless of which burner you are using.

• Visually check that 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 OFF. 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 completely down on valve shaft. If the spark

ignitor still fails to operate, call your nearest designated servicing outlet.

Proper grounding and polarity is necessary for correct operation of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not provide correct polarity, the ignitor will become grounded and click every once in awhile, even after the burner has ignited.

A qualified electrician should check the wall receptacle to see if it is wired with correct polarity.

wWARNING

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.

Burner heat settings

Use correct burner heat settings (later in this section). If the heat setting is too high, it can:

• Char bacon and cause curling.

• Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.

• Toughen liver, fish, and seafood.

• Scorch delicate sauces and custards.

• Cause a boilover.

Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop

In case of a prolonged power failure

Surface burners can be manually lighted.

1. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to the HI position.

2. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired setting.

NOTE: Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking during a power failure. The auto-reignition feature of your cooktop will not operate during a power failure.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop

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 e venly 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.

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 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.

Characteristics of cookware materials

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop

Caring for your cooktop

Your cooktop is designed for easy care. You can do most cleaning with items found around the home. Cleaning your cooktop whenever spills or soiling occurs 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.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop

Adjusting the height of top burner flames

The LO burner flame should be a steady blue flame approximately 1⁄4 inch (6 mm) high. It can be adjusted using the adjustment screw in the center of the valve stem. The valve stem is located directly underneath the control knob.

To adjust the flame height follow the instructions below:

1. Turn control knob to “LO.”

2. Remove the control knob. (If there is not

an adjustment screw underneath the knob the flame height is not adjustable.)

3. Hold the valve stem with a pair of pliers. The screw is located in the center of the valve stem. Use a small flat head screwdriver to turn the screw until the flame is the proper size.

4. Replace the control knob.

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

(3.7-5 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 sen-

sor 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 two 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.

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 two racks, place one rack in position 1 and the other rack in position 3.

• 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 temper-

ature by 25°F (14°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.

Using and Caring for Your Oven

Using aluminum foil in the oven

(for baking)

NOTE: Do not line the oven bottom with foil

or other liners. It could affect the oven surface as well as the quality of your baking.

Roasting tips

• Roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan using a roasting rack.

• Use a roasting pan that fits the size of the food to be roasted. Meat juices may overflow the sides of a pan that is too small. Too large of a pan will result in increased oven spatter.

• Spatter can be reduced by lining the bottom of the roasting pan with lightly crushed aluminum foil.

• 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.

• Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-

num foil. It will reduce air circulation and give you poor cooking results.

• Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers

from pies or casseroles by placing foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) larger than dish.

• Use narrow strips of foil to shield

piecrust edges if browning too quickly.

• Use an accurate meat thermometer to determine when meat has reached desired degree of doneness. Insert the thermometer 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 should not touch fat, bone, or gristle.

• After reading the thermometer once,

push it further into the meat 1⁄2 inch (1 cm) or more and read again. If the temperature drops, return the meat to the oven for more cooking.

• Check pork and poultry with a thermom- eter 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.

NOTE: Do not attempt to light the oven burner during a power failure. See the “Range Safety” section for more information.

1. Position racks.

For correct rack placement, see “Rack positions” and the “Rack placement” chart in this section.

NOTES:

• Before turning oven on position oven rack(s) where you need them.

• Be sure the rack(s) is level.

• Use pot holders or oven mitts to

protect hands if rack(s) must be moved while oven is hot.

• Do not let pot holder or oven mitt touch hot burner.

2. Choose baking/roasting setting.

3. Set temperature (optional).

Do this step if you want to set a temperature other than 350°F (177°C).

NOTE: See a reliable cookbook for temperature recommendations.

4. When baking, preheat oven.

After the temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the temperature display will show the actual oven temperature at each 5°F (3°C) increase and stop at the set temperature. One long tone will sound when oven is preheated.

NOTE: When roasting, preheating is not needed.
