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.

Sealed Surface Burners

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to IGNITE.

Before setting a control knob, place lled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate.

To Set:

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

knob turned to IGNITE will produce a ame.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW.

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

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.

A. Burner cap B. Burner base

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the ow 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 avoid poor ignition and uneven ames. 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 ow 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. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube by always using a burner cap.

A. 1 to 11/2" (2.5 to 3.8 cm) B. Burner ports

Burner Ports: Check burner ames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good ame 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.

C. Alignment pins D. Igniter E. Gas tube opening

To Clean:

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

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.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a at bottom, straight sides and a well-tting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough nishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.

Check for atness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

■ End of cycle

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow to react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate reading due to this cycling.

The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

To Adjust Oven Temperature:

1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display shows the current setting, for example “0°F CAL” or “00.”

2. Press the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow pads to increase or to decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C or 6°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30°F (17°C) and -30°F (-17°C).

3. Press START.

Sabbath Mode

The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a Bake setting until turned off. A Timed Bake can also be set to keep the oven on for only part of the Sabbath. The Oven Control Lockout Feature (if present) will be disabled during the Sabbath Mode. After the Sabbath Mode is set no tones will sound, the display will not show the temperature, the Kitchen Timer Mode will be canceled (if active) and only the following pads will function:

■ “up” or “down” arrow pads

■ Cancel

When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off immediately.

When power is restored after a power failure, the oven will return to Sabbath Mode and remain Sabbath compliant with the bake elements off until the Cancel keypad is pressed.

Pressing the Cancel keypad at any time returns the oven to the normal cooking mode (not Sabbath Mode compliant).

Before entering the Sabbath Mode, it must be decided if the oven light is to be on or off for the entire Sabbath Mode period. If the light is on when entering Sabbath Mode, it will remain on for the entire time Sabbath Mode is in use. If the light is off when entering Sabbath Mode, it will remain off for the entire time Sabbath Mode is in use. Opening the oven door or pressing the Oven Light keypad will not affect the oven light once Sabbath Mode has been entered.

If the oven has the Convection Bake feature, the oven light is controlled by a separate Oven Light switch on the console. If the oven light is on when entering the Sabbath Mode, it will remain on for the entire time Sabbath Mode is in use. For the oven light to be off during the Sabbath Mode, the light bulb must be removed from the oven prior to entering the Sabbath Mode. Not performing these steps will cause the oven light to turn on when the oven door is opened, resulting in the oven being not Sabbath compliant.

On the Holiday, the oven temperature can be changed once the oven is in Sabbath Mode by pressing the “up” or “down” arrow pads. The oven temperature will change 25°F (14°C) each time the keypad is pressed. The display will not change, and there will be no sounds during this adjustment.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom nish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.

For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain nish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

■ Position racks before turning on the oven.

■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.

■ Make sure racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.

Rack Positions

Rack 5: 2-rack baking. Rack 4: Use for broiling and toasting. Rack 3: Most baked goods on a cookie sheet, jelly roll pan, or in

mufn pans; casseroles; frozen convenience foods. Rack 2: Roasting small cuts of meat, pies, casseroles, bundt and

angel food cakes, yeast bread, quick breads, and 2-rack baking. Rack 1: Roasting large cuts of meat and poultry. Rack 6: Extra-large items.

Multiple Rack Cooking

2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5.

Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks

For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 2 and 5 for baking. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.

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.

Baking and Roasting

ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System

The ACCUBAKE® system electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan may be cycled on and off for short intervals to provide the best results.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Preheating

When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF (35ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected temperature will appear on the display. Factors that have an impact on preheat times are: room temperature, starting oven temperature, and the number of oven racks. Unused oven racks can be removed prior to preheating your oven to reduce the preheat times.

Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack.

IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

Changing the temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, sh and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 4 or 5 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.

■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to

drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered.

Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more information.

NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the rst few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
