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
without cookware on the grate.

To Set:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE.
IMPORTANT: All 4 surface burners will click. Only the burner

with the control knob turned to IGNITE will produce a flame.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between Hi and Lo.

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

IMPORTANT: When cooktop is in use, the Self-Cleaning cycle will
be disabled. An error tone will sound and the Cooktop On indicator
light will flash. If you turn on the cooktop when the Self-Cleaning
cycle is in use, it will disable the Self-Cleaning cycle and “END” will
be displayed.

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 the burner lights, turn knob
to setting.

surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and
uneven flames. 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 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. Keep spillovers out of the
gas tube by always using a burner cap.

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

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown in the previous illustration. 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.

sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

Grates

The grates on this range cover the full width of the cooktop. The
2 grates may interlock (on some models), using the hook formed
into 1 end of both grates. The flat end of 1 grate drops onto the
hook on the other grate as shown in the following illustration.

On some models, the 2 grates are identical and can be used on
either the left or right side of the cooktop. Grates that are designed
for use on only 1 side of the cooktop will have either “LEFT” or
“RIGHT” embossed on the bottom side of the grate.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface

cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a

well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.

Rough finishes 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 flatness 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.

■ Heats slowly and evenly.

■ Good for browning and frying

■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.

■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Heats slowly but unevenly.

■ Ideal results on low- to medium-heat

settings

Copper

■ Heats very quickly and evenly.

■ May leave copper residues which may

be diminished if cleaned immediately
after cooking.

Earthenware/
Stoneware

Porcelain

■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Use on low-heat settings.

■ See stainless steel or cast iron.

enamel-on-steel
or cast iron

Stainless steel

■ Heats quickly but unevenly.

■ A core or base of aluminum or copper

on stainless steel provides even
heating.

For best results, the cookware should be centered above the
burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should
be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most-recently
used areas to cool.

■ Center the canner on the grate above the burner.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural extension

office or refer to published home canning guides. Companies
that manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.

OVEN USE

The normal operation of the range will include several noises that
may be heard each time the bake or broil burners ignite during the
cooking cycle:

■ Gas valves may make a “popping” sound when opening

or closing.

■ Igniters will “click” several times until a flame is sensed.

■ A “poof” sound is heard when a bake or broil burner ignites.

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times or when it is heavily soiled.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death
to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well­ventilated room.

NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is
opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating
elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers,
including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will
continue to count down.

Electronic Oven Controls

Control Display

The display will flash when powered up or after a power loss.

to be demonstrated without heating elements turning on. If this
feature is activated, the oven will not work.

To change: Press CANCEL, CANCEL, Temp/Time “up” arrow
keypad, TIMER SET/OFF. Repeat to change back and end Demo
mode.

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 the Temp/Time “down” arrow keypad 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 keypad to increase
or to decrease the temperature in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The
adjustment can be set between 30°F (18°C) and -30°F (-18°C).

3. Press START.

Sabbath Mode

(on some models)

For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with
Sabbath mode, visit www.star-k.org.

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 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 Oven Timer mode will be canceled (if active), and only the
following keypads will function:

■ Temp/Time “Up” and “down” arrow keypads

■ 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 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 Light keypad will
not affect the oven light once Sabbath mode has been entered.

On the Holiday, the oven temperature can be changed once the
oven is in Sabbath mode by pressing the Temp/Time “up” or
“down” arrow keypad. The oven temperature will change 25°F
(14°C) each time the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow keypad is

Oven Vent

A

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom

finish, 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.

10

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

NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is

opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating
elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers,
including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will
continue to count down.

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 (38ºC) 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.

Oven Temperature

While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to
maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot
or cool at any point in time due to cycling. Opening the oven door
while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could
impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to
use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.

NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run
in the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.

Temperature Management System

The Temperature Management 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 will run while preheating and may be cycled
on and off for short intervals during Bake to provide the best
results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is
in use.

Broiling

NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is

opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating
elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers,
including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will
continue to count down.

Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center
of the oven rack.

Changing the temperature when custom broiling allows more
precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the
slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of
meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings.
Use rack 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 first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

Convection Baking and Roasting

NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is

opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating
elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers,
including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will
continue to count down.

During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements
or burners cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven
temperature while the fan circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting,
the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the
oven door is closed.

NOTE: The convection fan will turn on approximately 5 minutes
into any convection cycle.
