Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.

To Clean: 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.

Do not place canner on two 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 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.

IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well- fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy

thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. 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 afactor 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.

On some models, griddles with nonstick surfaces should not be used in the broiler.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.

• Suitable for all types of cooking.

• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.

Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains heat for slow cooking.

5. Replace the burner cap.

6. Replace surface burner grates.

7. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap alignment. Ifthe burner still does not light, do not service the sealed burner yourself. Contact atrained repair specialist.

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. Canners should not extend more than 1"

(2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.

Ceramic or • Follow manufacturer's instructions. Ceramic glass • Heats slowly, but unevenly.

• Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.

Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly. Earthenware • Follow manufacturer's instructions.

• Use on low heat settings.

Porcelain • See stainless steel or cast iron. enamel-on- steel or cast iron

Stainless steel • Heats quickly, but unevenly.

• A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.

OVENUSE

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 well

ventilated room,

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. Never set plastics, paper or other items that

could melt or burn near the oven vent.

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.

BROILER

The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and grid pull 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 drawer for storage.

• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent 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 prevent curling.

Pull out broiler pan 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.
