COOKTOP USE

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.

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 the Ignite position.

IMPORTANT: All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to the Ignite position 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.

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 the Ignite position. After the burner lights, turn knob to setting.

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow 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 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.

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 the “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.

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.

Grates

Models WFG525 and WFG550

The grates on this range cover the full width of the cooktop. The three grates interlock, using the hook formed into the grates. The flat end of the middle grate drops onto the hooks on the other grates as shown in the following illustration.

To install the grates, place the grate embossed “Left” on the left side of the cooktop. Place the grate embossed “Right” on the right side of the cooktop. Place the middle grate last, as shown in the previous illustration.

Model WFG510

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping of the cooktop. Although the grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine due to exposure to high temperatures.

Burner Size	Recommended Use

Small	■■	Low-heat cooking
	■■ Melting chocolate or butter

Medium	■■	Multipurpose burner

Large	■■	For large cookware

Extra-Large	■■	For large cookware
	■■ Most powerful burner

Oval	■■	For longer dishes

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.

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 two 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 well-ventilated room.

Electronic Oven Controls

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.”

Keep Warm

WARNING

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 1 hour; however, breads and casseroles may become too dry if left in the oven during the Keep Warm function. For best results, cover food.

The Keep Warm feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at serving temperature.

To Use:

1.Press KEEP WARM.

2.Press the Temp/Time up or down arrow keypad until desired temperature is reached. A tone will sound if the minimum or maximum temperature is reached.

3.Press the Start keypad.

4.Place food in the oven.

5.Press the Cancel keypad when finished.

NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by pressing the Temp/Time up or down arrow keypad to reach the desired temperature and then pressing the Start keypad.

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.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, 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 as a guide.

The oven has seven positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following table.

Flat Rack Position*	Type of Food

5	Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers,
	steaks, or toast.

4	Broiling thicker cuts of meat, poultry, fish

3 or 4	Frozen prepackaged foods, most baked
	goods, and casseroles.

1 or 2	Large roasts or poultry

Multiple Rack Cooking

Two-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4 or 2 and 5.

Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on Two Racks

Baking Layer Cakes

For best results when baking cakes on two racks, use the Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 4, and a flat rack in rack position 2. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 3” (7.6 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front cakes.

Baking Cookies on Two Racks

For best results when baking cookies on two racks, use the Convect Bake function and place flat racks in positions 2 and 5.

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

Preheating

When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven

temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

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 this 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.

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.

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.

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 cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

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 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 racks 4 or 5 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.

On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.

■■ 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

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.

How the Cycle Works

IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and popping sounds.

Before cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or the door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time, press the Cancel keypad. If the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked and “cool” and “ ” will be displayed. The cooling fan may continue to run.

The oven light will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time (on some models)

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see “Oven Vent” section.

Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.

Prepare Range

■■ Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all cooking utensils, oven racks, and aluminum foil and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
