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, 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.
Cookware
IMPORTANT:
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.
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.
Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface

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.
Baking and Roasting
IMPORTANT:
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 and Bakeware” section.
To Bake or Roast:
Touc h B AK E.
1.
Touc h T EM P “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).
Touch START/ENTER.
2.
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.
Touch OFF/CANCEL when finished.
3.
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.
Never light the oven burner during a power failure.
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.
