USING YOUR RANGE
USING THE SURFACE BURNERS
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The
cookware could overheat, causing damage to the
cookware or cooking product.
Using POWER Burner
POWER Burner is an adjustable setting for the left
front burner which provides an ultra-high heat
setting. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a
boil and to cook large quantities of food.
Easy ways to save energy
•
To help shorten your cooking time, use the least
amount of liquid possible.
•
Preheat your pots and pans only when
recommended and for the shortest time possible.
•
Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn
the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.
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.
RECOMMENDED USE
•
To light the burner.
•
To provide highest heat
setting.
•
To start food cooking.
•
To bring liquid to a boil.
•
To hold a boil.
•
To fry chicken or pancakes.
•
To cook gravy, pudding, or
icing.
•
To cook large amounts of
vegetables.
•
To keep food warm.
•
To melt chocolate or butter.
•
To simmer.

Burner heat settings
Use the following chart as a guide.
Using the control knobs
Your range comes with electric ignition. Electric
ignitors automatically light the burners each time
you turn the control knobs to LIGHT.
•
Place a filled pan on the burner grate before
turning on the surface burner. Do not operate a
burner for extended periods of time without
having cookware on the grate.
•
Push in the control knob and turn it counter-
clockwise to the LIGHT
position. The clicking
sound is the ignitor
sparking. Make sure the
burner has lit.
•
To stop the clicking
sound after the burner
lights, turn the control
knob to the cook
setting you want. You
can set the control
knob anywhere between HIGH and LOW.
NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same
time. However, the burner with the control knob
turned to LIGHT is the one that will ignite.
wWARNING
REMEMBER: When range is in use or during
the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area
may become hot.
Page 7

USING YOUR RANGE
In case of a prolonged power failure
You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit
match near a burner and turn the control knob to
the LIGHT position. After the burner lights, turn the
control knob to the setting you want.
Home canning information
The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure
canners combined with high heat settings for long
periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:
•
For best results, use a canner which can be
centered over the surface burner.
•
Do not place your canner on two surface burners
at the same time.
•
Start with hot water. This reduces the time
the control is set on high. Reduce the heat
setting to the lowest position needed to maintain
a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure
canner.
•
Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
For up-to-date information on canning, contact your
local U.S. Government Agricultural Department
Extension Office or companies who manufacture
home canning products.
Using the right cookware makes a
big difference
•
The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides,
and a well-fitting lid.
•
Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)
cookware.
•
The pan material (metal or glass) affects how
quickly and evenly the pan heats.
•
When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to
make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.
•
To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are
centered on the grates.
USING THE SURFACE BURNERS (CONT.)

USING YOUR RANGE
USING THE OVEN
Positioning racks and pans
Place the oven racks where you need them before
turning on the oven.
•
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position,
raise the front edge and lift it out.
•
Be sure the rack(s) is level.
•
Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands
if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.
•
For best performance, cook on one rack. Place
the rack so the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.
•
For best results allow 2 inches of space around
each pan and between pans and oven walls.
Extra oven rack position (roasting rack)
Use this rack position when roasting food too large
to be placed on the first
rack position.
For proper roasting,
follow these guidelines:
•
To avoid spillage,
remove food before
pulling out the rack.
•
Tilt the rack up at the
front before pulling it
over the door.
•
Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan
(meat juices or water) so your food does not get
overdone.

Although your new oven is properly adjusted to
provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster
or slower than your old oven.
If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting
results, you can change the offset temperature by
following the steps below.
NOTE: DO NOT measure the oven temperature with
a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower
the oven temperature and give you an incorrect
reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading
will change as your oven cycles.
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds.
The display will show the current offset temperature, for example “00,” if you have not already
adjusted the temperature.
2. Set the new offset temperature.
Press s to raise the temperature or t to lower
the temperature in 10°F amounts. You can set
the temperature change to as low as -30°F or as
high as +30°F. A minus (-) sign will appear before
the number when decreasing the temperature
setting. The minus sign shows the oven will be
cooler by the displayed amount. There is no sign
in front of the number when increasing the
temperature setting.
3. Enter the adjustment.
NOTE: The oven control will stay adjusted even
after a power failure.
How to determine the amount of
adjustment needed
The chart at the right tells you how much to adjust
the offset temperature to get the cooking results
you want. You can figure out cooking results by the
amount of browning, moistness, and rising times for
baked foods.

Broiling guidelines
•
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. They
are designed to drain extra juices from the
cooking surface. This drainage helps prevent
spatter and smoke.
•
To make sure the juices drain well, do not cover
the grid with foil.
•
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the fat
on the edges to prevent curling.
•
Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.
•
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning
or removing food.
•
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.
•
For easier cleaning, line the bottom of the pan
with aluminum foil. Clean the pan and grid as
soon as possible after each use.

the range.
Removing the storage drawer:
1. Empty the drawer before you remove it. Pull the
drawer straight out to the first stop. (The stops
are small, round objects formed in the slide rail.
They keep the drawer from sliding all the way
out.) Then lift the front of the drawer and pull it
out to the second stop.
2. Lift the back of the drawer slightly and slide it all
the way out.
Replacing the storage drawer:
1. Position the drawer so that the lower drawer
guides rest just inside the front frame lip.
2. Lift the front of the drawer and push it in until the
metal stops on the drawer slide rails clear the
upper drawer guides. Then slide the drawer

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make
sure you:
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket.
You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.
•
Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get
hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for
soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent
or a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.
•
DO NOT let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on
door and frame.
•
Remove the broiler pan and grid and any
cookware/bakeware being stored in the oven.
•
Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help
reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
•
Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as
possible after the oven cools down. When sugar
is heated to a high temperature in the SelfCleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause
the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain.
This can cause staining and etching, pitting, or
faint white spots.
•
Remove the oven racks from the oven if you
want them to remain shiny. You can clean the
oven racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they
will become harder to slide. (See the “Cleaning
chart” in the “Caring for Your Range” section.) If
you clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle,
place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The
guides are counted from bottom to top.)
•
Heat and odors are normal during the SelfCleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated
by opening a window or by turning on a vent
hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the SelfCleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result
in death to certain birds. Always move birds to
another closed and well ventilated room.
DO NOT
hand-clean
gasket
Hand-clean
frame
Hand-clean
door around
edge
TIPS:
•
Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the
Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors,
and smoke.
•
Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and
results in more smoke than usual.
•
Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.
•
Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They
may melt.
•
Remove any combustible items, such as paper
napkins, from the storage drawer. This includes
utensils with plastic handles that can become
overheated and melt.
•
Do not leave any foil in the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and
damage the oven surface.
•
The oven light will not work during the SelfCleaning cycle.
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling
dangerous fumes.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
SETTING THE CONTROLS (CONT.)
HOW THE CYCLE WORKS
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn
away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven
gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or
broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease
and burns it away.
Your oven is automatically preset for a 31⁄2-hour
Self-Cleaning cycle.
The graph at the right shows you what happens
in a 31⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Notice that the
heating stops 1⁄2 hour before the 31⁄2-hour setting
is up.

Cleaning the surface burners
• You should routinely remove and clean the burner
cap. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover. Keeping the burner cap clean prevents poor
ignition and an uneven flame.
• For the proper flow of gas and ignition of the
burner, do not allow spills, food, cleaning
agents, or any other material to enter the gas
tube opening or burner ports.
• Gas must flow freely through the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. You must
keep this area free of any soil and protect it from
boilovers or spillovers. Always keep the burner
cap in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
• Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.
• Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust
removers.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
• Occasionally check the burner flames for proper
size and shape as
shown. A good flame
is blue in color. If the
flames are not burning
at all ports, you may
need to clean the
burner ports.

powdered cleanser.
Do not clean the burner cap in a dishwasher.
3. If the gas tube opening has become soiled or
clogged, use a damp cloth to clean the area.
4. If the ports are clogged, clean them with a
straight pin. Do not
enlarge or distort the
port. Do not use a
wooden toothpick.
If the burner needs to
be adjusted, call a
qualified technician
for service.
6. Turn on the burner to see if it will light. If the
