and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover

and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the

“General Cleaning” section.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and

Always keep the burner cap in place when using a

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 a burner cap.

1. 1-1½” (25-38 mm)

2. Burner Ports

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.

■ For more information, contact your local U.S. Government

Agricultural Department Extension Office. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

Cookware

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.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is

transferred, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has

the same characteristics as its base material. For example,

aluminum cookware with a non-stick finish will take on the

properties of aluminum.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material

characteristics.

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 sealed 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. Canners should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.

Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements

■

or surface burners at the same time. On ceramic glass models, only use 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.

May need to reduce baking temperatures 25°F (15°C).

Use suggested baking time. For pies, breads and casseroles, use

temperature recommended in recipe.

Place rack in center of oven.

1. Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and

should not be blocked or covered. Doing so 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.

Baking and Roasting

Do not try to light the oven burner during a power failure.

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:

Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired

temperature setting. Place food in oven.

The oven burner will cycle on and off to keep the oven temperature at the setting.

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.

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.
