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.
■ For more information, contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office. In Canada, contact
Agriculture Canada. Companies that manufacture home
canning products can also offer assistance.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

Ceramic glass
■ Heats slowly and evenly.
■ Good for browning and frying.
■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.
■ Rough surfaces may scratch cooktop.
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Rough surfaces may scratch cooktop.
■ Heats slowly, but unevenly.
■ Ideal results on low to medium heat
settings.
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 wellfitting 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.

Baking and Roasting
IMPORTANT: Never light the oven burner during a power failure.
Never place food or cookware directly on the oven door or the
oven bottom. When using the oven for the first time, it is
necessary to turn any one of the surface burners on first to
release air from the gas lines.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks” section.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
Press TEMP (▲) or (▼) to set a temperature other than 350°F
(177°C) in 5ºF (3°C) amounts. The bake range can be set
between 170°F (77°C) and 500°F (260°C.)
2. Press START/ENTER.
The temperature can be changed at any time after this step
by pressing the TEMP (▲) or (▼) pad. START/ENTER does
not need to be pressed again. If baking/roasting while the
Timer is counting down, the set baking/roasting temperature
can be displayed for 5 seconds by pressing BAKE.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.
Preheating
After START/ENTER is pressed, the oven will enter a timed
preheat conditioning cycle. The HEAT, 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.
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 ten 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.

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.
Broiling and Custom 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 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 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.
