USING YOUR RANGE

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The cookware could overheat, causing damage to the cookware or cooking product.

Using POWER Burner

POWER Burner is an adjustable setting for the left front burner which provides an ultra-high heat setting. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of food.

Easy ways to save energy

•

When heating large quantities of liquid for foods such as pasta or soup, cover with a lid to help shorten cooking time.

•

Preheat your pots and pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.

•

Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.

wWARNING

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.

SETTING LIGHT

Burner heat settings

Use the following chart as a guide.

Using the control knobs

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

•

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

LIGHT 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 HIGH and LOW.

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

REMEMBER: When range is in use or during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Page 7

USING YOUR RANGE

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS (CONT.)

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 LIGHT 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:

•

For best results, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner.

•

Do not place your canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.

•

Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce the heat setting to the lowest position needed 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.

USING THE GRIDDLE (ACCESSORY ITEM PART

439

IMPORTANT: Always use oven mitts when handling a hot griddle.

•

Before using a griddle for the first time, wash it in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.

•

On gas cooktops, burner grates must be used to properly position griddle above burner flames.

•

Never use high heat. Excessive heat will cause discoloration, will shorten the life of the non-stick surface and may cause damage to the cooktop.

•

Preheat griddle on medium setting, then adjust for cooking. Use only medium to low settings.

•

Never cut food with a metal utensil or knife while on the griddle surface. It may damage the non-stick finish. Use only plastic, rubber, or wooden utensils.

•

Always turn off the burners before draining the griddle. Drain griddle away from range. Be sure to wipe any fats and oils from the sides and bottom before returning griddle to the range.

•

Avoid sudden temperature changes such as running water on a hot griddle. This may cause warping.

Cleaning the griddle

•

Clean the griddle only after it has cooled.

•

After each use, thoroughly wash griddle in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry. Use non-abrasive plastic scrubber to remove food build up.

•

Never put the griddle in the dishwasher. Dishwashing detergents will corrode the aluminum.

USING YOUR RANGE

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.

•

For best results, allow 2 inches of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.

Extra oven rack position (roasting rack)

Use this rack position when roasting food too large

to be placed on the first rack position.

For proper roasting, follow these guidelines:

•

To avoid spillage, remove food before pulling out the rack.

•

Tilt the rack up at the front before pulling it over the door.

• Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan (meat

juices or water) so your food does not get overdone.

•

Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners, or cookware. Permanent damage will occur to the oven bottom finish.

•

Do not block the oven bottom vents.

•

Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil.

Doing so will reduce air circulation and overall oven performance.

•

To catch spillovers

from pies or casseroles place foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1 inch 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.

do not have to preheat the oven when roasting, unless your recipe recommends it. NOTE: The oven will cook normally even though the preheat conditioning timer is displayed.

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.

•

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.

IMPORTANT: Do not try to light the oven burner during a power failure. Never place food or cookware directly on the oven door or the oven bottom. When using the oven for the first time, it is necessary to light the surface burners first, to purge air from the gas lines.

For 245°F and less, the preheating time is 4 minutes.

•

For 250°F-445°F, the preheating time is 10 minutes.

•

For above 450°F, the preheating time is 15 minutes.

As the preheat conditioning ends, the selected oven temperature replaces “PrE” on the display and the time of day reappears. You will hear a 1-second tone, indicating the oven is ready to use.

The ACCUBAKE®system electronically regulates the preheat time and temperature to maintain a precise temperature range for the best cooking results. The preheat and set temperatures may be different at the end of the countdown. This is normal.

NOTES:

•

When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F, no preheating time will be shown on the display.

•

You can change the temperature setting any time after pressing START/ENTER. You do not have to press START/ENTER again.

The preheating time will not change if you reset t

he temperature before the countdown time ends.

•

If you are baking/roasting while the minute timer is counting down, you can see the set baking/roasting temperature for 5 seconds by pressing BAKE.

Saving energy

•

To avoid loss of heat, open the oven door as little

as possible.

•

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.

Page 16

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

If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the offset temperature by following the steps below.

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.

2. Set the new offset temperature.

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

3. Enter the adjustment.

NOTE: You must press START/ENTER or your

changes will not be made.

To display temperatures in °C instead of °F:

Press and hold the CUSTOM BROIL pad for 5 seconds. You will hear a short tone and the temperatures

displayed 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.

How to determine the amount of adjustment needed

The chart at the right tells you how much to adjust the offset temperature to get the cooking results you want. You can figure out cooking results by the amount of browning, moistness, and rising times for baked foods.

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 reading will change as your oven cycles.

Broiling guidelines

•

Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. They

are designed to drain extra juices from the cook-

ing 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.

USING YOUR RANGE

•

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.

USING YOUR RANGE

Use the storage drawer to store cookware. You can remove the storage drawer to make it easier to clean under your range.

Removing the storage drawer:

1. Empty the drawer before you remove it. Pull the

drawer straight out to the first stop. (The stops are small, round objects formed in the slide rail. They keep the drawer from sliding all the way out.) Then lift the front of the drawer and pull it out to the second stop.

2. Lift the back of the drawer slightly and slide it all

the way out.

Replacing the storage drawer:

1. Position the drawer so that the lower drawer

guides rest just inside the front frame lip.

2. Lift the front of the drawer and push it in until

the metal stops on the drawer slide rails clear the upper drawer guides. Then slide the drawer closed.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

BEFORE YOU START

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket.

You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.

•

Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.

•

Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door and frame.

•

Remove the broiler pan and grid, griddle and any cookware/bakeware being stored in the oven.

•

Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

•

Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as possible after the oven cools down. When sugar is heated to a high temperature in the SelfCleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain. This can cause staining and etching, pitting, or faint white spots.

•

Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will become harder to slide. (See the “Cleaning chart” in the “Caring for Your Range” section.) If you clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides are counted from bottom to top.)

•

Heat and odors are normal during the SelfCleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the SelfCleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well ventilated room.

DO NOT hand-clean gasket

Hand-clean frame

Hand-clean door around edge

TIPS:

•

Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

•

Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

•

Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.

•

Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They may melt.

•

Remove any combustible items, such as paper napkins, from the storage drawer. This includes utensils with plastic handles that can become overheated and melt.

•

Do not leave any foil in the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

•

The oven light will not work during the SelfCleaning cycle.

wWARNING

Burn Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling

dangerous fumes.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

SETTING THE CONTROLS (CONT.)

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.

Your oven is automatically preset for a 31⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle.

SEALED SURFACE BURNERS AND COOKTOP

CARING FOR YOUR RANGE

Cleaning the surface burners

• You should routinely remove and clean the burner

cap. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover. Keeping the burner cap clean prevents poor ignition and an uneven flame.

• For the proper flow of gas and ignition of the

burner, do not allow spills, food, cleaning

agents, or any other material to enter the gas tube opening or burner ports.

• Gas must flow freely through the gas tube

opening for the burner to light properly. You must keep this area free of any soil and protect it from boilovers or spillovers. Always keep the burner cap in place whenever a surface burner is in use.

• Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.

• Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust

removers.

• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and

ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

• Occasionally check the burner flames for proper

size and shape as shown. A good flame is blue in color. If the flames are not burning at all ports, you may need to clean the burner ports.
