COOKTOPUSE

Power Burner

The left front burner is designed to give ultra-high power when it is fully on. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of food.

Power Failure

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

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 IGNITE. Before setting a control

knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or while the grate is unoccupied.

To Set:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control

knob turned to IGNITE will produce a flame.

2. Turn knob anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

IGNITE • Light the burner.

HIGH • Start food cooking.

• Bring liquid to a boil.

BETWEEN HIGH and LOW

LOW

• Hold a rapid boil.

• Quickly brown or sear food.

• Fry or saut6 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.

Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust

removers. 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

1. Burner Cap

2. Burner Base

3. Alignment Pins

4. Igniter

5. Gas Tube Opening

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.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire

cooktop area may become hot.

1. 1-11A in. (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:

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.

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

1. Incorrect

2. Correct

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.

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 it 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.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

• Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.

• Use on low heat settings.

• A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.

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, 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.

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.

glass or ceramic

• Brown, crisp crusts

RECOMMENDATIONS

On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.

• Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.

• After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat 1/2in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

• Check all meat in two or three places.

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/ RESULTS

Light colored • Use temperature and time recommended aluminum in recipe.

• Light golden crusts

• Even browning

Dark aluminum and other bakeware

with dark, dull and/ or nonstick finish

• Brown, crisp crusts

Insulated cookie sheets or baking

pans

• Little or no bottom

browning

RECOMMENDATIONS

• 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.

• Place in the bottom third of oven.

• May need to increase baking time.

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.

ACCUBAKE ® _

DUO SYSTEM Temperature Management

(on some models)

The ACCUBAKE DUO SYSTEM technology electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to

maintain the most uniform temperature control. Two temperature sensors will independently control the bake and

broil elements for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow

red when cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is

not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.

To Bake or Roast:

1. Press BAKE.

2. Press TEMP or TEMP/TIME "up" or "down" arrow pad to set a temperature other than 350°F (175°C) in 5 degree amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (75°C and 260°C).

When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F (77°C), no preheat conditioning time will be shown in the display. The preheat conditioning time will not change if the temperature is

reset before the countdown time ends.

3. Press START. The temperature can be changed after this step. START does not need to be pressed again.

If baking and roasting while the minute timer is counting down, the set temperature can be seen for 5 seconds by pressing BAKE.

4. Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished.

Preheating

After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat conditioning. "PrE" (on some models) and the countdown time will appear on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.

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 due to the cycling of the elements.

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.

The CHOICE BAKE ®function eliminates the top heat during oven cooking. It is ideal for baking pies, casseroles and breads, and for roasting foods that require longer and slower cook times such as poultry and roasts.

Similar to the baking and roasting function, the bake elements or burners cycle on and off at intervals during CHOICE BAKE® cycle. However, the cycle duration for the broil element is much shorter during CHOICE BAKE ®, allowing less top browning of foods and more customized control for your baking results.

To Use'.

1. Press CHOICE BAKE ®function. Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pad to set a

temperature other that 350°F (175°C) in 5 degree amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (75°C and 260°C).

2. Press START. The temperature can be changed after this step. Start does

not need to be pressed again.

3. Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.

To use the CHOICE BAKE®function during a regular BAKE cycle to achieve less top browning, press CHOICE BAKE®function, set the desired temperature and press START.

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when 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.

• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. 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.

Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.

Oven Controls" section

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before

placing it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to one hour, however breads and casseroles may become to dry if left in the oven during Warm Hold.

Warm Hold Feature allows hot cooked foods to stay serving temperature. It can also be used at the end of a timed cook.

To Use Automatic Warm Hold Feature:

At the end of a timed cook, either with or without a delayed start, or at the end of a sequence program in which the last step is not the Warm Hold mode, the oven will automatically default to a 1-hour warm hold mode at 170°F (77°C).

When the cook time ends or the last step of the sequence is complete, the display will show a warming countdown time. When warming ends, the oven will automatically shut off and "End" will appear on the display. Four tones will sound, and then four 1-second reminder tones will sound every minute thereafter.

To Disable Automatic Warm Hold: Press and hold WARM for 5 seconds. "Off" will appear in the 4-digit display. Repeat to turn

back on. When using the Automatic Warm Hold Feature, cook times may

need to be adjusted accordingly so that foods do not become overcooked and dry.

To Use Manual Warm Hold Feature:

1. Press WARM.

2. Set the temperature (optional). Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pad to raise or lower

the temperature in 5°F (3°C) amounts to set a temperature other than 150°F (66°C). The warm range is 100°F-200°F (38°C-93°C).

To Set a Timed Cook:

1. Press BAKE (optional).

2. Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pads to enter a temperature other than the one displayed.

3. Press STOP TIME.

4. Press the HR and MIN "up" or "down" arrow pads to enter the desired time to end cooking.

5. Press START. The display will count down the time. When the time ends, the oven will shut off automatically and

"End" will appear on the display. End-of-cycle tones will sound, then, if enabled, reminder tones will sound every

minute.

Open and close the oven door to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.

To Set a Delayed Timed Cook: Before setting, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of

day. See "Clock" section.
