ignition models) or the III position (on Wmmg
pilot models) when igniting the top burners and
makesurethe burners have ignited.

● Never leave the surface burners unattended at

● Do not let potholders come near open flames

whenlifting cookware. Do not use a towel or

● To

Mdmize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back of the
range without extending over adjacent burners.

● Always turn the surface burners to off before

removing cookware.

QNeverblock the vents (air openings) of the

range. Theyprovide the air inlet and outlet that

are necessary for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion. Air openings are located

at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of

the oven door, and at the bottom of the range
under the broiler drawer.

cDo notusea wokon models with sealed burners

if the

wok has a round metal ring that is placed

over the

burner grate to support the wok. This

ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the

Also, it may cause

the burner to work improperly. This may cause a

carbon monoxide level above that allowed by
current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

s Foods for frying should be as dry as

possible.

The surface butners
on these ranges have

standingpilots that

must be lit initially.

To light thenx

1. Be sure sud+ce

burner contrpl
knobs are in the
OFF positio~.

2. Remove the-s and lift the cooktop up

(see the Lift+UpCooktop section).

3. Locatethetwopilot ports and light each of them

with a match.

NOTE: If the pilot is too high

or low, you can adjust

it. See the Adjust the Surface Burner Pilots If
Necessary section of the Installation Instructions.

4. Lower the cooktop. Your surface burners are now

ready for use.

5. Observe lighted burners. Compare the flames to

pictures in the Problem Solver. If any flame is
unsatisfactory, call for service.

Surface Burner Controls

Knobs that turIIthe surface burners on and off are
marked as to w~ch burners they control. The two
knobs on the left control the left tint and left rear
burners. The NO knobs on the right control the right
Ihmt and right rear burners.

On ranges with sealed burners:

. The smaller burner (right rear position) will give

the best simmer results. It offers precise cooking
petiormance for delicate foods, such as sauces or
foods which need to cook over low heat for a

before using any burner.

To Light a Surface Burner

Electric Ignition Models:
Push the control knob in and

turn it to LX~ You will hear

a little “clicking” noise-the
sound of the ehtctric spark
igniting the bu~er.

Standing Pilot Models:

Push control knob in and turn it to HI position.
The burner should light within a few seconds.

Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift
slightly away from the burner when the burner
is first turned on. A blowing or hissing sound may
be heard for 30 to 60 seconds. This normal sound is

due to improved injection of gas and air into the

burner. Put a pan on the burner before lighting it,

or adjust the flame to match pan size as soon as it
lights, and the blowing or hissing sound will be ,
much less noticeable.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking

results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the tint
or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow 1– to 1%-inch space betw~n pans as
well as from the back of the oven, the door and the
sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans
so one is not directly above the other.

used is the one recommended.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on
the pan determines the amount of browning that
will occur.

QDark rough or dull ~ans absorb heat resulting in a

browner, crisper cru$t. Use this type for pies.

● Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in

a lighter, more de~cate browning. Cakes and

cookies require this type of pan.

Don’t Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such
as “bake 3040 minutes.”

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum
time. Opening the oven door fiquently during
cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times
longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

keeps it away fivm the high heat of the gas flame.

1. Youcan change the distance of the

food from the

heat source by positioning the broiler pan and grid
on one of three shelf positions in the broiler
compartment-A (bottom of broiler compartment),
B (middle) and C (top).

2. Preheating the broiler or oven is not necessary and
can produce poor results.

3. If meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through it about 2 inches apart;
do not cut into the meat. We recommend that you
trim fat to prevent excessive smoking, leaving a
layer about 1/8 inch thick.

4. Arrange the food on the grid and position the
broiler pan on the appropriate shelf in the oven or
broiling compartment. Placing food closer to the
flame increases exterior browning of the food, but
also increases spattering and the possibility of fats
and meat juices igniting.

5.

Close the oven and broiler compartment door.

6. Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to BROIL.

7. Turn OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF. Remove the
broiler pan from the broiler compartment and serve
food immediately. Leave the pan outside the range
to cool.

e

se of Aluminum Foil

Ym can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and
broiier grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly
to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat

juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices

could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually
lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can
give them. This is due to their continual exposure to
high temperatures.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of

time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the
grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven or

materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.

To make cleaning caster,protecttheoven bottom

fbm excessive spillovem by placing a cookie sheet
on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. You

can use aluminum foil if you do not cover the whole

shelf. This is particu~ly important when baking a

fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot

fruit fillings or other fbods that are highly acidic
(such as milk, tomat@s or sauerkraut, and sauces with

vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage

to the porcelain en-l surface and should be wiped

s

p imiidiately.

If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom,
allow the oven to cool first.

Frequent wipings with mild soap and water
(particularly after cooking meat) will prolong the time
between major cleanings. Rinse thoroughly. Soap left
on the oven bottom can cause stains.

For heavy soil, use an abrasive cleaner or a soap­filled scouring pad. A commercialoven cleaner may
also be used, following the package directions.

. Allow to cool before cleaning. For light soil, wipe

frequently with mild soap and water ~especially-after
cooking meat). This will prolong the time between
major cleaning. Rinse thoroughly.

NOTE: Soap left on the oven door causes

additional stains when the oven is reheated.

. For heavy soil, choose an oven cleaner and follow

label instructions. Rinse well.

Outside of door:

QUse soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,

sides and tint of the oven door. Rinse well.
You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass
on the outside of the door. ,

. Spillage of marinades, hit juices, tomato sauces

and basting materials containing acids may cause

discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.

When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

● Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or

harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Porcelain Oven Interior

WM proper care, thpporcelain enamel interior will
retain its attractive finish for many years.

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy
spattering or spillov$xs may require cleaning with a
mild abrasive cle~er. Soapy, wet pads may also be
used Do not allow @od spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such @ milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, iiuit

juices or pie ffig) to remain on the surface. They

may cause dull spot$ even after cleaning.
Household ammoni~ may make the cleaning job

easier. Place 1/2 cup ammonia in a shallow glass pan
ad leave in a cold dven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loo~n the burned-on grease and food.

When necessary, yOI,I may use a commercial oven
cleaner. Follow the @ckage directions.

Cautionsaboutusingspray-onovencleaners:

● Be careful where the oven cleaner is sprayed.

● Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls

and switches (on some models) because it could
cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

● Do not mow a fi~ from the cle~er to m~ on

the temperature sensing bulb-it could cause the
oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located at the
rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after
each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
bulb as a change in its position could affect how the

oven bakes.

. Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside oven

door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven,
cabinet or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage
these surfaces.
