COOKTOP USE
WARNING
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.
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.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does
not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter
click, turn the burner off. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or
blown household 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.
To Set:
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.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models)
during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may
become hot.
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 setting.

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 or coils. 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
grates.
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.

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.
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death
to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and wellventilated room.

Light will not affect the oven light once Sabbath mode has been
entered.
If the oven has the Convection Bake feature, the oven light is
controlled by a separate Oven Light switch on the console. If the
oven light is ON when entering the Sabbath mode, it will remain
ON for the entire time Sabbath mode is in use. For the oven
light to be OFF during the Sabbath mode, the light bulb must be
removed from the oven prior to entering the Sabbath mode. Not
performing these steps will cause the oven light to turn on when
the oven door is opened, resulting in the oven being not Sabbath
compliant.

Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door
or bottom.
Bakeware
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 position 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 it out. Use the following illustrations and chart
as a guide for positioning racks.

Oven Vent
A
A. Oven vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the 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
Preheating
When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating
after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12
to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven
racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher
temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly
increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature
will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when
your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when
you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper
temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds.
Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed
to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly
hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the
oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven
which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is
recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in
the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.
Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the
oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise
temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil
elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection
range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled
on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the best
results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven
is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“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.
10
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: Close the door to ensure proper broiling
temperature.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish,
and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Refer to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to
maintain the proper temperature.
■ 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. See the “Accessories” section.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
