Ignition

Make sure all surface burners are properly installed.

1. Push in and turn the control knob to the LITE position. You will hear a "clicking" sound

indicating the electronic ignition system is working properly.

2. After the surface burner lights, turn the control knob to shift it out of the LITE position and turn oﬀ the electronic ignition system.

3. Turn the control knob to adjust the ﬂame level.

Manual ignition

You can ignite the burner manually in case of a power failure. Use caution when doing this.

1. Hold a long gas grill lighter to the surface burner you want to light.

2. Push in and turn the control knob for that burner to the LITE position. Turn on the grill lighter to

ignite the burner.

3. After the burner is lit, turn the control knob to adjust the ﬂame level.

Flame level

The ﬂames on the burners should always stay under the cookware, and should not extend beyond the cookware bottom at any time.

WARNING

• Flames larger than the cookware bottom may result in a ﬁre or physical injury.

• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the burner knob quickly. Watch the ﬂame to make sure it stays on.

• After turning on a surface burner, check to make sure that the burner has ignited. Adjust the level of the ﬂame by turning the burner knob.

• Always turn oﬀ the surface burner controls before removing cookware. All surface burner controls should be turned OFF when you are not cooking.

For Convection Bake or Convection Roast, use Auto Conversion to set the minimum temperature to 200 °F (95 °C) if necessary.

Convection cooking

The convection fan at the back of the gas oven circulates hot air evenly throughout the oven cavities so that food is evenly cooked and browned in less time than with regular heat.

• Ideal for foods being cooked using multiple racks.

• Good for large quantities of food.

• Provides the best performance for cookies, biscuits, brownies, cupcakes, cream puﬀs, sweet rolls, angel food cake, and bread.

Convection baking

Convection roasting

• Cookies bake best when cooked on ﬂat cookie sheets.

• When convection baking using a single rack, place the rack in rack position 3 or 4.

• When convection baking using multiple racks, place the racks in positions 3 and 5(for Cake), 2 and 5(for Cookie).

• The oven automatically adjusts the temperature for convection baking.

• Good for larger, tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

• For best performance, place a broiler pan and grid under the meat or poultry. The pan catches grease spills and the grid prevents grease spatters.

• Heated air circulates over, under, and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie.

• See the "Roasting guide" on page 32 for details.

To change the programmed temperature, press the Bake or Roast or Bake button, and enter a new temperature. Then, press the START/SET button.

Broiling

Broiling uses the oven broil burner at the top of the oven to cook and brown food. Meat or ﬁsh must be put on a broiling grid in a broiling pan. Preheating for 5 minutes before broiling is recommended.

1. Put food on a broiling grid in a broiling pan, and then place the pan on the desired rack.

2. Press the Broil button once for high temperature broiling or twice for low.

3. Press the START/SET button to start cooking.

4. When one side of the food is browned, turn it over and start cooking the other side.

5. When broiling on both sides is complete, press the OFF/CLEAR button.

• Use the low temperature setting for poultry or thick cuts of meat to prevent overbroiling.

• In general, to prevent overbroiling, press the Broil button to switch from High to Low.

• Use caution when you open the oven door to turn over the food. The air escaping from the oven will be very hot.

Temperature probe

The temperature probe lets you cook roasts and poultry to the exact internal temperature you want, taking the guess work out of determining whether a piece of meat is done or not.

You can use the temperature probe with the oven set to Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast. When you use the temperature probe, the internal temperature is shown on the display when it reaches 100 °F.

1. Push the temperature probe into the meat so

that the tip of the probe reaches the center of the meat.

• When you insert the temperature probe, make sure it does not contact bone, fat, or gristle.

• For bone-in meats, insert the probe into the center of the lowest and thickest portion of the piece.

• For whole poultry (turkey, large chickens, etc.), insert the probe into the thickest part of the inner thigh, parallel to the leg.

• If you activate Keep Warm after cooking is complete using the temperature probe, the meat’s internal temperature will exceed your initial settings.

• If you remove the temperature probe while cooking is in process, the oven shuts oﬀ in 60 seconds.

• The temperature probe may not function properly if inserted into frozen food. (The temperature probe icon doesn’t appear.)

2. Insert the temperature probe plug into the

socket on the top side wall of the oven.
