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.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the griddle, the griddle is to be used on the center burner only and with low flame.
Before First Use: Wash the griddle with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. To avoid sticking, rub the surface with vegetable oil, and wipe excess off with a paper towel.
[] Do not leave empty griddle on a hot surface cooking area or
surface burner.
[] Do not overheat the griddle. The nonstick coating could be
damaged.
[] The griddle should not be used to bake, broil or microwave. [] To reduce spattering or grease spillover while cooking, avoid
cooking food with excess fat.
[] To preserve durability, do not cut food on the griddle. [] Avoid use of metal utensils.
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 burner cap from the burner base and clean according to "General Cleaning" section.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. 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.
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.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door may cause the
burner cycling to give incorrect readings. The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or
Celsius. A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed
amount. The absence of a minus sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.
ADJUSTMENT °F COOKS FOOD (ADJUSTMENT °C)
10°F (5°C) ...a little more
20°F (10°C) ...moderately more 30°F (15°C) ...much more
-10°F (-5°C) ...a little less
-20°F (-10°C) ...moderately less
-30°F (-15°C) ...much less
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display shows the current calibration, for example "00."
2. Touch the TEMP/HOUR "up" or "down" arrow pad(s) to increase or to decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30°F (15°C) and -30°F (-15°C).
3. Press START.
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.
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer's recommendations and use the bakeware size
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
BAKEWARE/ RECOMMENDATIONS RESULTS
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.
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 on the oven. 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
Large roasts, turkeys, angel food, bundt 1 or 2 and tube cakes, quick breads, pies
Yeast breads, casseroles, meat and 2 poultry

that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
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.
IMPORTANT:Toavoidpermanentdamagetotheporcelain finish,donotplacefoodorcookwaredirectlyontheoven

2= Touch START.
The temperature can be changed at any time after this step by touching the TEMP/HOUR "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 CANCEL/OFF when finished.
Preheating After START is touched, the oven will enter a timed preheat
conditioning cycle. The bake indicator light 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.
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.
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. [] 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
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.
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 START. The indicator light will light up. The temperature setting can
be changed at any time during broiling. If broiling while the Timer is counting down, the set broiling temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds by touching BROIL.
5. Touch CANCEL!OFF when finished broiling.
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.
