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 anywhere between HIGH and LOW. The clicking

will stop. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

LITE

■ Light the burner.

Power failure

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lighted manually. Hold a lighted match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Sealed Surface Burners

A. Burner cap B. Alignment pins C. Igniter

MED

■ Start food cooking.

■ Bring liquid to a boil.

■ Hold a rapid boil.

■ Quickly brown or sear food.

■ Fry or sauté foods.

■ Cook soups, sauces and gravies.

■ Stew or steam foods.

■ Keep food warm.

■ Melt chocolate or butter.

■ Simmer.

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 prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps 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 a burner cap.

A. 1-1¹⁄₂" (25-38 mm) B. 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 C le an :

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.

4. Replace the correct size burner cap onto the correct size

burner base, making sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap.

On some models, each size burner cap and burner base has a corresponding letter “A,” “B,” “C” and “D.” To ensure a proper fit and that the burner will light, make sure that the burner cap matches with its corresponding letter on the burner base.

A. Incorrect

B. Correct

5. 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.

Burner Rotation

The right side burners can be rotated 180° to reduce the distance between the front and back burners. This permits better heat distribution when using oblong pans or griddles.

To Rotate Burners:

1. Make sure burners are cool before beginning rotation.

2. Remove right side grates and burner caps.

3. Lift burners from cooktop, as shown.

4. Rotate burners 180°, as shown.

5. Replace burners, with large hole over gas tube opening, and

small hole over the igniter. See “Sealed Surface Burners” section for burner parts descriptions. Push burner down, flush with cooktop.

6. Replace burner caps and grates.

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" (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.

■ 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. In Canada, contact Agriculture Canada. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

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, a wellfitting 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 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.

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

ADJUSTMENT °F (ADJUSTMENT °C)

COOKS FOOD

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 well ventilated room.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the oven bottom finish.

■ 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" (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: Do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain finish.

■ Place rack in center of oven.

■ Place in the bottom third of oven.

■ May need to increase baking time.

■ Follow manufacturer’s

instructions.

■ May need to reduce baking

temperatures 25°F (15°C).

Baking andRoasting

IMPORTANT: Do not light the oven burner during a power failure. Do not 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 and Bakeware” section.

To Bake or Roast:

1. Touch BAK E.

Touch TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads to set a temperature other than 350°F (177°C) in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

2. Touch START/ENTER.

The temperature can be changed at any time after this step by touching the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads. START/ENTER 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 OFF/CANCEL when finished.

Preheating

After START/ENTER is touched, the oven will enter a timed preheat conditioning cycle. The Temp, 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 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.

Broiling and Custom Broiling

Oven Vent

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.

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.

To Broil:

1. Open the broiler door and roll out the broiler pan and grid.

2. Place the broiler pan and grid so grease can drain down into

the lower part of the broiler pan.

3. Place food on broiler pan. Then place the pan on the broiler

rack and close the broiler door.

Touch CUSTOM BROIL. The BROIL indicator light will light up.

5. Touch START/ENTER.

The On and Temp indicator lights 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 CUSTOM BROIL.

6. Touch OFF/CANCEL when finished broiling.

To CUSTOM BROIL:

Changing the temperature while custom broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures. If food is cooking too quickly, the broiling temperature can be lowered by touching the TEMP “down” arrow pad.

1. Touch CUSTOM BROIL.

2. Touch the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads to set a

temperature between 300°F (149°C) and 525°F (273°C).

3. Touch START/ENTER.

4. Touch OFF/CANCEL when finished custom 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.

Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has cooled completely could result in the glass breaking.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.

COOKTOP CONTROLS

pad: Gently clean around the model and serial number plate

because scrubbing may remove numbers.

PORCELAIN-COATED GRATES AND CAPS
