Burner heat settings

Use the following chart as a guide.

Using the control knobs

Your range comes with electric ignitors. Electric ignitors automatically light the burners each time you turn the control knobs to LITE.

•

Place a filled pan on the burner grate before turning on the surface burner. Do not operate a burner for extended periods of time without having cookware on the grate.

•

Push in the control knob and turn it counter-

clockwise to the LITE

position. The clicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Make sure the burner has lit.

•

To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights, turn the control knob to the cook setting you want. You can set the control knob

anywhere between HI and LO.

NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same time. However, the burner with the control knob turned to LITE is the one that will ignite.

In case of a prolonged power failure

You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to the LITE position. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the setting you want.

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.

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.

For up-to-date information on canning, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department Extension Office or companies who manufacture home canning products.

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.

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pa n material and how evenly heat spread s over the pa n 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 quic k ly but uneve nly.

•

A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides

even heating.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS

USING YOUR RANGE

USING THE OVEN

Positioning racks and pans

Place the oven racks where you need them before turning on the oven.

•

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge and lift it out.

•

Be sure the rack(s) is level.

•

Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.

•

For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

•

When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at approximately three quarters of the total bake time. Increase baking time, if necessary.

•

For best results allow 2 inches (5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.

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.

Where to place pans:

WHEN YOU HAVE

1 pan 2 pans

3 or 4 pans

PLACE

In center of the oven rack. Side by side or slightly

staggered. In opposite corners on

each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.

Rack placement for specific foods:

FOOD

Frozen pies, large roasts, turkeys, angel food cakes

Bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast breads, casseroles, meats

Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, nonfrozen pies

BEST USED FOR

GUIDELINES

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.

•

Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum 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.

•

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.

•

Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if browning too quickly.

Roasting meats and poultry

•

For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.

6. When baking…

Put food in oven after the preheat countdown ends. During baking/roasting, the oven burner will turn on and off to keep oven temperature at the setting.

Saving energy

•

To avoid loss of heat, open the oven door as little as possible. Use the OVEN LIGHT button and look through the windows.

•

Use a timer to keep track of cooking time.

•

Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the oven by cooking more than one food at a time, or baking while the oven is still hot after cooking a meal.

•

Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of the largest muscle or thickest portion of the meat or poultry. Make sure the thermometer is not touching bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.

USING YOUR RANGE

ADJUSTING OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.

If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the offset temperature by following the steps below. The control will “remember” the selected offset even after the power has been interrupted or lost.

1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds.

The display will show the current offset temperature, for example, “0” if you have not already adjusted the temperature.

3. Enter the adjustment.

NOTE: You must press the START button or your

changes will not be made.

To display temperatures in °C instead of °F…

Press and hold the BROIL button for 5 seconds. You will hear a short tone and the temperature display will switch to °C. To switch back to °F, repeat the instructions above. Whenever you switch, “°C” or “°F” will be displayed for 5 seconds.

NOTE: DO NOT measure the oven temperature with a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the oven temperature and give you an incorrect reading. Also, the thermometer temperature will change as your oven cycles.

2. Set the new offset temperature.

Press to raise the temperature or to lower the temperature in 10°F/5°C amounts. You can set the temperature change as low as -30°F/15°C or as high as +30°F/15°C. A minus (-) sign will appear before the number when decreasing the temperature setting. The minus sign indicates that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. There is no sign in front of the number when increasing the temperature setting.

Broiling guidelines

•

Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. They are designed to drain extra juices from the cooking surface. This drainage helps prevent spatter and smoke.

•

To make sure the juices drain well, do not cover the grid with foil.

•

Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the fat on the edges to prevent curling.

•

Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.

•

Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food.

•

After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

•

For easier cleaning, line the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil. Clean the pan and grid as soon as possible after each use.

The electronic clock/oven control will turn the oven on and off at times you set, even when you are not around.

Delayed time cooking is ideal for foods which do not require a preheated oven, such as meats and casseroles. Do not use delayed time cooking for cakes, cookies, etc. – they will not rise properly. Before using timed cooking, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. (See the “Setting the clock” section.)

To start bake/roast now and stop automatically:

1. Prepare oven.

Position the oven rack(s) properly and place the food in the oven. For correct rack placement, see “Rack positions” and the “Rack placement” chart.

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

THE OVEN VENT AND OVEN DOOR VENT

Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent between the rear burners. Do not block the vent by using large pans or covers. Poor baking/roasting can result.

NOTE: Plastic utensils left over the vent can melt.
