Cooktop/Oven Temperature Controls
WARNING
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.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without
cookware on the grate.
To Set Burner Temperature:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the
control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. The clicking will
stop. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat
levels.

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps and bases according to
the “General Cleaning” section.
Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from spillovers
by always using the burner cap.

To Cl ea n:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach
or rust removers.
1. Remove the surface burner grates.
2. Remove burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to “General Cleaning” section.
3. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
4. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a
trained repair specialist.
5. Replace the burner cap onto the burner base, making sure
the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap.
A
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

■ Heats quickly and evenly.
■ Suitable for all types of cooking.
■ Medium or heavy thickness is best for
most cooking tasks.

B. Correct
6. Replace surface burner grates.
7. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking
area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not
extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking
area or element.
■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or
surface burners at the same time.
■ On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.
■ On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit
is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil
element will be shortened. See “Assistance or Service” for
ordering instructions.
■ For more information, contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office. Companies that
manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.

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: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or
cookware.
■ 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.
■ 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

and tube cakes, quick breads, pies

BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.

A
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.
Baking and Roasting
Do not place food or cookware directly on the oven door or the
oven bottom.
Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired
temperature setting.
2. Place food in oven.
The oven burner will cycle on and off to keep the oven
temperature at the setting.
3. Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.
Broiling
To Broil:
1. Open the broiler door and take out the broiler pan and grid.
2. Place food on the grid so grease can drain down into the
lower part of the broiler pan.
3. Place the pan on the broiler rack and close the broiler door.
4. Push in and turn the oven control knob to broiler position. The
temperature can be lowered at any time during the broiling by
turning the oven control knob to the desired temperature.
5. Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF position when
finished.
BROILING CHART
For best results, broiler pan should be rotated at the same time
the food is turned. Times are guidelines only and may need to be
adjusted for individual foods and tastes.
COOK TIME

minutes
SIDE 1 SIDE 2
BROILER
The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and
grid slide out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler and
oven doors closed.
■ To avoid damage to the broiler, do not step on or apply
weight to the broiler door while it is open.
■ Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler
door during broiling.
■ Do not use broiler cavity for storage.
■ Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance.
It is designed to drain juices and help avert 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 avert curling.
■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. 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.
