IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
If the range is near a window, be certain the curtains do not
blow over or near the range burners; they could catch on
fire.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:
•Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
•Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
•Clean hood filters frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
•Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the cooktop burner.
WARNING
This appliance should not be installed with a ventilation
system that directs air in a downward direction toward
the range. This type of ventilation system may cause
ignition and combustion problems with the appliance
resulting in personal injury, property damage, or
unintended operation. Ventilating systems that direct the
air upwards do not have any restriction.
ALWAYS have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop
and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires, other than grease fires,
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it
is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to
ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
•Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet,
or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or the
electric element. Be careful to prevent burns. If the
flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call
the fire department.
•Never pick up a flaming pan — You may be burned.
•DO NOTUSE WATER, including wet dish cloths or
towels — a violent steam explosion will result.
•Use an extinguisher only if:
•You know you have a class ABC extinguisher
and you already know how to operate it.
•The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
•The fire department is being called.
•You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting
garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while
using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly
flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
WARNING
RANGE TIPPING HAZARD:
•All ranges can tip and injury can result. To prevent
accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the floor,
wall, or cabinet by installing the Anti-Tip Device
supplied.
•A risk of tip-over may exist if the appliance is not
installed in accordance with these instructions.
•If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning,
service, or any other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip
Device is properly reengaged when the range is
pushed back against the wall. In the event of
abnormal usage (such as a person standing, sitting,
or leaning on an open door), failure to take this
precaution can result in tipping of the range.
Personal injury might result from spilled hot liquids or
from the range itself.
WARNING
The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety
considerations, never use the oven or cooktop to warm
or heat a room. Also, such use can damage the cooktop
or oven parts.
DO NOT use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or
range. Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire
hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat
will be trapped beneath it. This will upset the cooking
performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the
range.
When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA.
Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to
cause burns.
Never leave the range unattended when using high flame
settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite. Also, if the burner flames and igniter are
smothered with spillage, unburned gas will escape into the
room. See page 1 regarding gas leaks.
DO NOT heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the oven.
Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are
suitable for cooking on the range burners. This type of
cookware may break with sudden temperature changes.
Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the
utensil manufacturer’s directions.
Important Safety Instructions English 5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame
heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
WARNING
Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the
grate or with one that spans more than one burner, such
as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This can
result in poor combustion that generates harmful byproducts.
Use caution to ensure that drafts like those from forced air
vents or fans do not blow flammable material toward the
flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the
edges of the pot.
Always use pots and pans that have flat bottoms large
enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized pots
and pans could expose a portion of the flame and may
result in ignition of clothing.
To minimize the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials and unintentional spillage, position handles of
pots and pans inward so they do not extend over adjacent
work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the range's
cooktop.
DO NOT use pots or pans on the grill plate accessory.
Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets,
etc., should never be used on the cooktop.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner
manufacturer.
WARNING
After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and using
caution due to possible hot surfaces, clean around the
burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper
operation.
Ensure all cooktop controls are turned off and the cooktop
is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or
around the cooktop. The chemical that produces the
spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or
cause metal parts to corrode.
Place oven racks in desired position while oven is cool. If a
rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the
potholders contact the broiler element.
When using the oven do not touch the broiler element, the
interior surfaces of the oven or the exterior area
immediately surrounding the door. Interior oven surfaces
become hot enough to cause burns. The heat deflector,
which deflects heat away from the cooktop and the trim on
the top and sides of the oven door, will also be hot when
the oven is in use.
Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing foods.
DO NOT use flammable cleaners to clean the range.
Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement when
stirring or turning food.
Remove the optional cutting board or griddle cover
accessory, which is stored on top of the griddle plate,
before operating the griddle or any adjacent burners.
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits
collect. Clean after each use.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep
the igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean the ports
when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light
even though the electronic igniters activate.
Clean the range with caution. Avoid steam burns; DO NOT
use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the range while it is hot.
Important Safety Instructions English 6
Before self-cleaning the oven (select models), remove the
broiler pan, oven racks, and any other utensils, and excess
spillage.
Please note that some pets or humans can be sensitive to
the odors created during the self-cleaning process whether
it is a manufacturing residue burn off or food, so it is
recommended that those potentially affected be removed
from the kitchen area during the self-clean process.
DO NOT clean, rub, damage, move or remove the door
gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. If the
gasket becomes worn or excessively soiled with food
particles, replace gasket to assure a tight seal.
Protect the self-cleaning feature. Clean only those parts
indicated in this booklet. DO NOT use commercial oven
cleaners or oven liner protective coatings of any kind in or
around the self-cleaning oven(s).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the range,
never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door.
Service should only be done by authorized technicians.
Technicians must disconnect the power supply before
servicing this unit.
Listen to be sure the cooling blower runs whenever the
oven controls are set to BROIL or BAKE modes, after oven
heats to 300°F (149°C) — see “Automatic operation of the cooling blowers”. If the fan does not operate, do not use the
oven. Call an authorized service center for service.
To avoid a fire hazard, grease accumulation must be
prevented by frequently cleaning the ventilation hood and
filters.
DO NOT use the optional grill plate for cooking excessively
fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.
When cooking fatty or oily foods on burners, the grill, or the
griddle, adjacent gas burners can ignite airborne fumes.
Use caution to avoid burns.
In case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other
spirits on the range's cooktop, follow manufacturer’s
instructions. Use caution when cooking foods with high
alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven.
Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of
burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven.
Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the
oven door carefully.
Remove all tape and packaging before using the appliance.
Destroy the packaging after install. Never allow children to
play with packaging material.
DO NOT store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables, or nonfood products in or near this appliance.
It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking
food. The use of corrosive chemicals while heating or
cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in
injury.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
WARNING
DO NOT block or obstruct the flow of air
through the ventilation openings. The oven
vent is located at the back of the appliance.
The vents need to be unobstructed and
open to provide necessary airflow that is
important for proper oven performance.
DO NOT touch oven vent area while the
appliance is on and for several minutes
after the appliance is off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding areas become hot
enough to cause burns. Allow appliance
sufficient time to cool before touching or
cleaning vent areas.
DO NOT position plastic or other heatsensitive items on or near the oven vent.
These items could melt or ignite.

Oven Operation
1. Before baking or broiling, the oven and broiler should
be turned on to burn off the manufacturing oils using
one of the two following methods:
•Turn on kitchen ventilation (or if vent hood is a
recirculation type open a window). Turn the oven
on to 450ºF (230ºC) for 20 to 30 minutes; then turn
the broiler to BROIL for the same length of time.
Please note that it is normal for small amounts of
smoke to be visible from the range during this initial
breaking-in process.
•Turn on kitchen ventilation (or if vent hood is a
recirculation type open a window). Remove oven
racks. Set oven SPEED CLEAN and let self-clean
run (some models only. See “Self-Cleaning the Oven (Dual Fuel Models Only)” on page 34).
Please note that some pets or humans can be sensitive to
the odors created during the self-cleaning process whether
it is a manufacturing residue burn off or food, so it is
recommended that those potentially affected be removed
from the kitchen area during the self-clean process.
ALWAYS REMOVE BEFORE SELF CLEAN
Figure 7: Full Access Oven Rack

Checking Burner Cap Placement
Each cap has a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the underside of
the cap that corresponds to a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the
burner base that is attached to the appliance.
•Place each burner cap on its correct burner base per
its corresponding letter designation. See figure below.
Figure 12: STAR Burner Components
•Place burner cap gently on top of base so that the
prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of
the burner cap.
Burners Caps
The burner caps must be properly placed on the burner
bases for the cooktop to function properly. If the burner cap
is not properly placed, one or more of the following
problems may occur:
•Burner flames are too high.
•Flames shoot out of burners.
•Burners do not ignite.
•Burner flames light unevenly.
•Burner emits gas odor.
•Check each burner to make sure there is no gap
between the burner cap and burner base. See
Figure 13: Correct and Incorrect Burner Cap
Placement to see examples of correct and incorrect
placements of the burner cap.
•You may gently try to move the burner caps from side
to side to check if the caps are properly placed on the
burner bases. When properly placed, each burner cap
will rest flat on top of its burner base, and completely
cover the star-shape of the burner base when viewed
from the top as shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13: Correct and Incorrect Burner Cap Placement
Burner Grate Placement
Ensure the burner grates are properly placed on the
cooktop before using the surface burners. The grates are
designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.
To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down and
align into the cooktop recess. Grates should rest flush
against each other and against the sides of the recess.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups and avoid the creation of harmful
by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner
caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
WARNING
To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or grates
while hot. Turn the cooktop off and allow the burners to
cool.

Control Knobs
ExtraLow
Range
The control knobs for two sealed gas burners, one in front
and one in the rear, are located directly in front of and
below the pair of burners on the control panel. Each burner
has its own control knob. The symbol above each control
knob identifies the burner position on the cooktop.
Operation of the Burners
1. Press in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to
the HI setting on the knob.
–The igniter for the selected burner clicks and
sparks.
–After burner ignition, the igniter stops clicking.
2. Rotate the knob to any flame setting between HI and
SIM.
–The blue signal light, between the burner knobs,
will light when adjacent burners are lit. The light will
remain on until the adjacent burners are turned off.
ExtraLow
The controls for the ExtraLow burners have flame settings
even lower than the standard SIM settings.
The drawing shows that the control knob has an additional
range between the SIM and XLO settings. When the knob
is set within this range, the flame cycles off and on. By
varying the length of time the flame is off and on, the heat is
reduced even further to cook delicate foods. For example,
these very low settings are suitable for simmering and
poaching, melting chocolate and butter, holding cooked
foods at temperatures without scorching or burning, etc.

Operation of the ExtraLow Burners
•XLO, the very lowest setting, is achieved by cycling the
flame ON for approximately 7 seconds and OFF for 53
seconds of each minute.
•When the knob is set just below the SIM setting, the
flame will cycle ON for approximately 53 seconds and
OFF for 7 seconds of each minute.
•To vary the amount of low heat to suit the food and
quantity, the control can be set anywhere within the
SIM and XLO range marked on the knob.
•The XLO knobs are disabled during self-clean (Dual
Fuel models only). The knob functions will remain
unavailable until after the oven unlocks.
ExtraLow Techniques
•The type and quantity of food affects which setting to
use.
•The pan selected affects the setting. Its size, type,
material, and whether a lid is used, all affect the
consistency of the cooking temperature.
•To maintain a low or simmer heat, bring food to a
rolling boil. Stir well, then cover the pan and lower the
heat to a setting just below SIM.
•Check periodically to see if the control knob should be
turned to another setting.
•If a large pan is used, the simmer action may occur
mainly in the center of the pan. To equalize the
temperature throughout the food, stir the food around
the outer edges of the pan into the food in the center.
•It is normal to stir food occasionally while simmering.
This is especially important when simmering for several
hours, such as for a homemade spaghetti sauce or
beans.
•When lowering the flame setting, adjust it in small
steps.
•If the setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the food
back to a boil before re-setting to a higher heat.
•It is normal not to see simmer bubbles immediately
after the food has been stirred.
•There may be bubbling when the flame cycles ON and
no bubbles when the flame is OFF. Even when the
flame is OFF, there will be steam and a slight quiver on
the liquid’s surface.
Figure 15: ExtraLow Burner Control Knob
Using The Cooktop English 14
Automatic Re-Ignition
Flame Height
Each burner has its own electronic igniter that sparks when
the burner is turned on. Each burner should light in 4
seconds or less. If a burner does not light, check to see that
the cap is positioned correctly on the base.
If any one or more burners blow out, the electronic igniter
automatically activates to re-light the flame. Do not touch
the burners when the igniters are active.
CAUTION
DO NOT touch the STAR® burners when the igniters are
sparking.
IMPORTANT:
•For proper combustion do not use the cooktop without
the burner grates in place.
•There is a slight sound associated with gas combustion
and ignition. This is a normal condition.
•On cooktops using propane gas (LP), a slight “pop”
sound may be heard at the burner ports a few seconds
after the burner has been turned off.
•The correct flame height depends on 1) size and
material of pan being used; 2) food being cooked; and
3) amount of liquid in the pan.
•Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.
•Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that
conduct the heat slowly, such as porcelain coated steel
or glass-ceramic.

Figure 16: Flame Characteristics
•The burner flame color should be blue with no yellow
on the tips. It is not uncommon to see orange in the
flame color; this indicates the burning of airborne
impurities in the gas and will disappear with use.
•With propane (LP) gas, slight yellow tips on the
cone are normal.
•The flame should burn completely around the burner
cap. If it doesn’t, check that the cap is positioned
correctly on the base and that the ports are not
blocked.
•The flame should be stable with no excessive noise or

Cookware Recommendations
WARNING
To avoid risk of serious injury, damage to appliance or
cookware, please observe the following:
•Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie
sheets, etc. should never be used on the cooktop.
•Placement of large stock pots should be staggered
when used on the cooktop.
•Never let a pan boil dry. This can damage your pan and
the cooking surface.
•Professional quality pans with metal handles are
recommended because plastic handles can melt or
blister if the flame extends up the side of the pan.
Professional quality pans are found at restaurant
supply stores and gourmet specialty shops. All
cookware should have these characteristics: good heat
conductivity, good balance, correctly sized base
diameter, a heavy, flat base, and a proper fitting lid.
•For best cooking results, the flame should be contained
under the bottom of the pan.
•Aluminum and copper are pan materials that conduct
the heat quickly and evenly. These metals are
sometimes attached to the base or in the core between
stainless steel.
•A heavy, flat base is more apt to remain flat when
heated. Pan bases that are warped, dented, ridged or
too lightweight will heat unevenly. Heat and cool pans
gradually to avoid sudden temperature changes which
tend to distort cookware. DO NOT add cold water to a
hot pan.
Figure 17: Stagger Pots
•Select the base diameter to match the diameter of the
flame. The diameter of the flame should be the same
size as the pan base or slightly smaller. Oversize or
under size pans sacrifice cooking performance. A 5½''
(140 mm) base size is generally the smallest
recommended.
•Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than
the grate or with one that spans more than one burner,
such as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This
can result in poor combustion that generates harmful
by-products.
•Balance is important for stability and even cooking. The
handle must not be heavier than the pan and tilt it
unevenly. A pan must sit level on the grate without
rocking or wobbling.
Figure 19: Flat Base Pan
•A properly fitting lid will shorten cooking time and make
it possible to use lower heat settings.
Figure 18: Balanced Pan
•Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed
directly on the burner grate. Aluminum foil can melt
during cooking.
•Do not let plastic, paper or cloth come in contact with a
hot burner grate. They may melt or catch fire.
Using The Cooktop English 16
Figure 20: Covered Pan
Specialty Cookware
Woks
•Either flat-based or round-bottom woks with the
accessory ring can be used on all models. Round
bottom woks must be used with a support ring. The
Wok pan and the porcelain-coated cast iron wok
support ring must be purchased separately.
Standard Size Pressure Canner
•8 to 22 quarts (7.6 to 20.9 liters), with an 8'' to 11'' base
(203–279 mm) and a 6½'' to 12'' depth (165–305 mm).
Canning Tips
•A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave,
convex or rippled base.
•When using two canners at the same time, use
staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners. A
flame needs the right amount of air for complete
combustion.
•Use a cover on a canner when bringing the contents to
a boil.
•Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the
lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure.
•Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take
precautions to prevent burns.

Instructions for Seasoning the
Griddle Seasoning
Griddle Plate
If the griddle plate seems to lose its non-stick abilities over
time, the following instructions should help regain the
griddle’s non-stick properties. For optimal performance and
long life of your griddle plate, follow these simple cleaning
and seasoning instructions.
Prepping the Griddle for Seasoning
The griddle plate must be clean and all residue removed
before the griddle plate is seasoned.
1. Use a mixture of coarse salt and a small amount of
white vinegar to buff off any residue from the griddle
plate.
~WHITE~
VINEGAR
Seasoning is a process by which a layer of animal fat or
vegetable oil is applied and baked into the cookware. The
seasoning layer provides a non-stick surface for cooking.
1. Use a paper towel to apply a thin, even coating of lard,

, or olive oil to the griddle surface.
2. Rinse well with clean water.
3. Dry the griddle plate thoroughly.
After Seasoning
1. After cooking on your seasoned griddle, allow to cool
and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to dry.
2. Add a thin coating of oil or fat before storing your
griddle in a cool, dry place.
3. Repeating this process will season the griddle and
maintain non-stick properties. Performance will
improve over time with more seasoning.
4. To strip the griddle to re-season, a mixture of salt and
vinegar should be used to remove any oil layers from
the previous seasoning process.

•DO NOT use wood chips, lava rocks, or charcoal
briquettes. Only use recommended ceramic
briquettes (PABRICKBKN).
•DO NOT use dishes, pans, pots, or other cookware
on the grill.
•Never use aluminum foil to cover the grates or to line the grill. It can damage the grill and cause a fire
hazard if heat is trapped under it.
•Check grease tray before each use. Too much
grease in the tray may cause a fire hazard.
•If flames appear, grease should be cleaned from
grates, grease tray, briquette basket and other
surfaces.
•Grease build up encourages flame and smoke
development while cooking.
•Ceramic briquettes must be replaced when they
begin to turn black. This means that they are
saturated with fat and may smoke heavily during
operation or the fat may catch fire.
Using the Electric Grill English 23
IMPORTANT:
•If flames appear while grilling, turn off heat and
remove the food. Use caution to avoid any
potential injury while removing food.
•Often, such flames will extinguish themselves
within a few minutes once grease drippings have
burned up. DO NOT leave the grill unattended until
all flames are extinguished. If desired, flames can
be extinguished by generously shaking baking
soda or salt over them to smother fire.
•If flames appear, ceramic briquettes should be
replaced and grease should be cleaned from
grates, grease tray, briquette basket, and other
surfaces before using the grill again. Built up
grease which is allowed to remain encourages
flame and smoke development while cooking.
•Moist food should be dried, before placing on grill.
•Marinated food may cause more smoke to be
produced!
•During grilling, dripping fat may flare up briefly.
WARNING
TO AVOID RISK OF BURNS:
•Use proper utensils with long handles that allow the
chef plenty of clearance from the heat and potential
flare ups.
•DO NOT wear loose clothing while cooking.
•Never leave grill unattended while cooking.
•After each use, remove grease buildup from the grill
surfaces and the trays below the grill to avoid risk of
fire. Ventilation hoods should also be cleaned
periodically as needed and as recommended by the
User Manual as well as surrounding surfaces.
•Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and accessible.
3. During the initial use, heat the grill for about 10 minutes
to eliminate manufacturing residues and smells.
4. For best results, allow the grill grates to preheat before
placing food on them.
CAUTION
Clean the grill after each use. Allow the appliance to cool
before cleaning.
Grilling Tips
•The grill should be preheated a minimum of 10 minutes
before cooking. Depending on browning preference
and the types of food being prepared, as much as 15
minutes of pre-heat time may be required.
•Soak wooden skewers in water a minimum 20 minutes
before placing on the grill.
•Prior to grilling, you can coat the food with heatresistant oil (e.g. peanut oil) or marinate it. Make sure
not to use too much oil/marinade, as otherwise it may
catch fire and generate thick smoke.
•Lay the food directly on the grill grates. DO NOT use
aluminum foil or grill trays.
•Cured meat, such as ham or smoked pork chops, is not
suitable for grilling. Unhealthy chemical compounds
may form.
•To prevent flare-ups, remove excess fat from foods
prior to grilling.
•DO NOT use cleaners on elements. Allow grease to
burn off the elements.
•To soak up fat on the griddle plate, sprinkle coarse salt
onto the grilling surface after use.
Operation
1. Before turning on, make sure that there are ceramic
briquettes in the appliance and both grill grates are
correctly fitted. Turn on forced air ventilation.
2. Press and turn the knob to the desired temperature
setting.
•The grill is electronically controlled with power
settings LOW through HIGH. There are no fixed
settings on the knobs.
•The two grill heating elements can be regulated
separately. This allows you to grill food with
different temperature requirements at the same
time, or you can use one area to grill and the other
to keep warm.

Grill Cooking Recommendations
IMPORTANT:
•GRILL SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT PROPER VENTILATION.
•Foods with excessive fat or grease should not be prepared on an indoor grill. Grilling foods with high fat
content (certain types of ground beef, sausage, etc) increases the chances of smoke and flames.

Getting the Best Results
•Minimize opening the oven door(s).
•Use the rack position recommended by the recipe.
•Use the bakeware recommended in the recipe.
•Store the broiler pan(s) outside the oven. An extra pan
without food, affects the browning and cooking.
•The type of pan used affects the browning:
•For tender, golden brown crusts, use light
non-stick/anodized or shiny metal pans.
•For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick/
anodized or dark, dull metal pans or glass
bakeware. These may require lowering the bake
temperature 25°F (14°C).
Preheating the Oven
•Most cooking times in recipes are designed for a
preheated oven and require that the oven already be at
a certain temperature before cooking starts. Refer to
your recipe for preheating recommendations
•Preheating time depends on the temperature setting
and the number of racks in the oven.
Bakeware Type
•Metal bakeware (with or without a non-stick finish),
heat-proof glass, glass-ceramic, pottery, or other
utensils are suitable for the oven.
•Suitable cookie sheets have a small lip on one side.
Heavy sheets or those with more than one side may
affect the baking time.
Pan Placement
•Allow at least 1" (25.4 mm) of space between the pans
and the oven walls so heat can circulate around each
pan.
.
Using the Oven English 26
•Stagger bakeware so that one is not directly above
another. Allow 1½'' (38 mm) above and below each
pan.
