aligned with the burner cap.
On some models, each size burner cap and burner base has
a corresponding letter “A,” “B,” “C” and “D.” To ensure a
proper fit and that the burner will light, make sure that the
burner cap matches with its corresponding letter on the
burner base.
A. Incorrect
B. Correct
5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the grate.
■ Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
■ For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the
cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Burner Rotation
The right side burners can be rotated 180° to reduce the distance
between the front and back burners. This permits better heat
distribution when using oblong pans or griddles.
To Rotate Burners:
1. Make sure burners are cool before beginning rotation.
2. Remove right side grates and burner caps.
3. Lift burners from cooktop, as shown.
4. Rotate burners 180°, as shown.
5. Replace burners, with large hole over gas tube opening, and

COOKS FOOD
■ To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
RACKS
Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks
with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. For best
performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the top of food
will be centered in the oven. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop
position, raise the front edge, then lift out.
FOOD RACK POSITION
Frozen pies, large roasts, turkeys, angel
food cakes
Bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast
breads, casseroles, meats
Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes,
nonfrozen pies
BAKEWARE

OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and wellventilated room.
Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil,
liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the
oven bottom finish.
■ On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover
the oven bottom vents.
■ Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to
move freely for best cooking results.
3 or 4 Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure

Oven Vent
A. Oven vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and
cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that
could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,
baking soda and eggs.
Broiling
BROILER
The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and
grid roll out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler drawer
and oven door closed.
■ Do not step on or apply weight to the broiler drawer while it is
open.
■ Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler
drawer during broiling.
■ Do not use broiler drawer for storage.
■ Use only the broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices
and help avoid spatter and smoke.
■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
■ Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin
cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■ 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.
Baking and Roasting
IMPORTANT: Do not place food or cookware directly on the oven
door or the oven bottom.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Touch BAKE.
Touch TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads to set a temperature
other than 350°F (177°C) in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The bake
range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and
260°C).
2. Touch START.
The temperature can be changed at any time after this step
by touching the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pads.
START does not need to be touched again. If baking/roasting
while the Timer is counting down, the set baking/roasting
temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds by touching
BAKE.
3. Touch OFF/CANCEL when finished.
Preheating
After START is touched, the oven will enter a timed preheat
conditioning cycle. The Temp, Bake, and On indicator lights will
light up. The Electronic Oven Control automatically selects the
conditioning cycle time based on the oven temperature selected.
The conditioning cycle time will not change if the temperature is
reset before the cycle countdown ends. The preheat conditioning
cycle is complete and the oven is ready to use when a 1-second
tone sounds, the cycle countdown ends, and the set temperature
is displayed.
To Broil:
1. Open the broiler drawer and take out the broiler pan and grid.
2. Place food on the grid in the broiler pan at the desired broiling
position and close the drawer.
3. Touch BROIL.
The BROIL indicator light will light up.
4. Touch STA RT.
The On and Temp indicator lights will light up. The
temperature setting can be changed at any time during
