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.

Grates

Models WFG525, WFG550, and WFG535

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

Select a burner that best fits your cookware. Burner positions will vary based on the model of your range.

	Back of Range
Medium		Small
		Oval
Extra		Large
Large
	Front of Range
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.

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.

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 the Start keypad.

Sabbath Mode

(on some models)

Oven Vent

A

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.

10

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.

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

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.

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

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.
