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.
Using ACCUSIMMER
ACCUSIMMER is an adjustable setting for the right rear burner. It allows more accurate simmer control at the lowest setting.
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.
wWARNING
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.
•
For gravy, pudding, and icing.
•
To cook large amounts of vegetables.
•
To keep food warm.
•
To simmer.
•
To provide lowest simmer/heat setting.
•
To melt chocolate or butter.

Use the following chart as a guide.
Using the control knobs
Your range comes with electric ignitors. 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.

USING YOUR RANGE
USING THE SURFACE BURNERS (CONT.)
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:
•
Center the canner over the surface burner. Do not extend more than 1 inch outside the burner area.
•
Do not place your canner on two surface burners at the same time.
•
Start with hot water, cover with a lid and bring to a boil; then reduce heat 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.
The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the p an material and how evenly heat sprea ds over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.
Aluminum
• Heats quickly and evenly.
• Use for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Cast iron
• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
Ceramic or ceramic glass
• Heats s low ly a nd uneve nly.
• Use on low to medium settings.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Copper
• Heats very quickly and evenly.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Earthenware
• Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the manufacturer.
• Use on low settings.
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or enamel-on-cast iron
• See cast iron and stainless steel.
Stainless steel
• Heats quic k ly but uneve nly.
•
A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides
even heating.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS

USING YOUR RANGE
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.
•
When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at approximately three quarters of the total bake time. Increase baking time, if necessary.
•
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.

Roasting meats and poultry
•
For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.
•
Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of the largest muscle or thickest portion of the meat or poultry. Make sure the thermometer is not touching bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.

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.

THE OVEN VENT

Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent that is near the middle of the
backguard.
The vent lets air circulate properly. Be careful not to block the vent, or you will get poor baking/roasting results.
NOTE: Never store plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent, or any of the surface burners.
USING YOUR RANGE

THE STORAGE DRAWER

Use the storage drawer to store cookware. You can remove the drawer to make it easier to clean under 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 closed.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

BEFORE YOU START
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. 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.
•
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 plastic utensils on the cooktop. They may 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.
wWARNING
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.

NOTE: Make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. (See “Setting the clock” in the “Using Your Range” section.)
1. Press AUTO CLEAN.
This will automatically set a 31⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle.
NOTE: There will be a 30-minute cool-down

2. Set the cleaning time (optional).
If you want a Self-Cleaning cycle longer or shorter than 31⁄2 hours, use the hour and minute pads to set the cleaning time you want. Press the “up” (s) or “down” (t) pad(s) until a time between 21⁄2-41⁄2 hours shows on the display.
•
Use 21⁄2 hours for light soil.
•
Use 31⁄2-41⁄2 hours for average to heavy soil.
3. Start the oven.
The door will lock as soon as you press START/ENTER.
4. After Self-Cleaning cycle ends and the oven
reaches normal baking/roasting temperatures: LOCK’D goes off and the door unlocks.
5. After the oven cools to room temperature, wipe
off any residue or ash with a damp cloth or sponge. If needed, touch up spots with a mildly abrasive cleanser or cleaning sponge.

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 spill-over. Keeping the burner cap clean prevents improper 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.
•
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.
•
Be careful not to allow moisture to collect in the control areas. Moisture can cause the ignitor switches to fail.
•
Occasionally check the burner flames for proper
size and shape as shown. A good flame is blue in color. If the flames are uneven, you may need to clean the burners.
