USING THE SURFACE BURNERS

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The cookware could overheat, causing damage to the cookware or cooking product.

Using POWER Burner

POWER Burner is an adjustable setting for the left front burner which provides an ultra-high heat setting. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of food.

Using ACCUSIMMER

ACCUSIMMER is an adjustable setting for the right rear burner. It allows more accurate simmer control at the lowest setting.

Easy ways to save energy

•

To help shorten your cooking time, use the least amount of liquid possible.

•

Preheat your pots and pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.

•

Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.

wWARNING

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.

RECOMMENDED USE

•

To light the burner.

•

To provide highest heat setting.

•

To start food cooking.

•

To bring liquid to a boil.

•

To hold a boil.

•

To fry chicken or pancakes.

•

For gravy, pudding, and icing.

•

Burner heat settings

Use the following chart as a guide.

Using the control knobs

Your range comes with electric ignitors. Electric ignitors automatically light the burners each time you turn the control knobs to LIGHT.

•

Place a filled pan on the burner grate before turning on the surface burner. Do not operate a burner for extended periods of time without having cookware on the grate.

•

Push in the control knob and turn it counter-

clockwise to the

LIGHT position. The clicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Make sure the burner has lit.

•

To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights, turn the control knob to the cook setting you want. You can set the control knob

anywhere between HIGH and LOW.

NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same time. However, the burner with the control knob turned to LIGHT is the one that will ignite.

USING YOUR RANGE

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS (CONT.)

In case of a prolonged power failure

You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to the LIGHT position. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the setting you want.

Home canning information

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.

To protect your range:

•

Center the canner over the surface burner. Do not extend more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) outside the burner area.

•

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

•

Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce the heat setting to the lowest position needed to maintain a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure canner.

•

Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.

For up-to-date information on canning, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department Extension Office or companies who manufacture home canning products.

Using the right cookware makes a big difference

•

The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.

•

Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) cookware.

•

The pan material (metal or glass) affects how quickly and evenly the pan heats.

•

When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.

•

To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are centered on the grates.

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pa n material and how evenly heat sprea ds over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

Aluminum

• Heats quickly and evenly.

• Use for all types of cooking.

• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Cast iron

• Heats slowly and evenly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains heat for slow cooking.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

Ceramic or ceramic glass

• Heats s low ly a nd une ve nly.

• Use on low to medium settings.

• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Copper

• Heats very quickly and evenly.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Earthenware

• Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the manufacturer.

• Use on low settings.

Porcelain enamel-on-steel or enamel-on-cast iron

• See cast iron and stainless steel.

Stainless steel

• Heats quic k ly but uneve nly.

•

A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides

even heating.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS

USING YOUR RANGE

Positioning racks and pans

Place the oven racks where you need them before turning on the oven.

•

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge and lift it out.

•

Be sure the rack(s) is level.

•

Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.

•

For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

•

When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at approximately three quarters of the total bake time. Increase baking time, if necessary.

•

For best results allow 5 cm (2 inches) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.

Extra oven rack position (roasting rack)

Use this rack position when roasting food too large

to be placed on the first rack position.

For proper roasting, follow these guidelines:

•

To avoid spillage, remove food before pulling out the rack.

•

Tilt the rack up at the front before pulling it over the door.

•

Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan (meat juices or water) so your food does not get overdone.

BEST USED FOR

GUIDELINES

USING ALUMINUM FOIL

NOTE: Do not line the oven bottom with foil or other

liners. It could affect the oven surface as well as the quality of your baking.

•

Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circulation and give you poor cooking results.

•

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles by placing foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) larger than dish.

•

Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry to slow down surface browning for long term roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.

•

Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if browning too quickly.

Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.

If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the offset temperature by following the steps below.

1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds.

The display will show the current offset temperature, for example “0,” if you have not already adjusted the temperature.

2. Set the new offset temperature.

Press s to raise the temperature or t to lower the temperature in 10°F (6°C) amounts. You can set the temperature change to as low as -30°F (-17°C) or as high as +30°F (+17°C). A minus (-) sign will appear before the number when decreasing the temperature setting. The minus sign shows the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. There is no sign in front of the number when increasing the temperature setting.

3. Enter the adjustment.

NOTE: You must press START/ENTER or your

changes will not be made.

To display temperatures in °C instead of °F:

Press and hold the custom broil pad for 5 seconds.

You will hear a short tone and the temperatures displayed will switch to °C. To switch back to °F, repeat the instructions above. Whenever you switch, “°C” or “°F” will be displayed for 5 seconds.

How to determine the amount of adjustment needed

The chart at the right tells you how much to adjust the offset temperature to get the cooking results you want. You can figure out cooking results by the amount of browning, moistness, and rising times for baked foods.

NOTE: DO NOT measure the oven temperature with a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the oven temperature and give you an incorrect reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading will change as your oven cycles.

For easier cleaning, line the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil. Clean the pan and grid as soon as possible after each use.

Broiling guidelines (cont.)

Recommended rack positions are numbered from

the bottom (1) to the top (5). For best results, place food 3 inches (7 cm) or more from the broil burner and turn meat after approximately

⁄3 of the broiling time. Turn chicken pieces after approximately half of the broiling time. Very thin cuts, such as fish fillets,

may not need to be turned at all. Lobster tails are not turned.

Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual tastes.

The electronic MEALTIMER control will turn the oven on and off at times you set, even when you are not around.

Delayed time baking/roasting is ideal for foods

that do not need a preheated oven, like meats and casseroles. Do not use delayed time cooking for

cakes, cookies, etc. – they will not rise properly.

Before using the electronic MEALTIMER control, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. (See the “Setting the clock” section.)

To start baking/roasting now and stop automatically:

1. Place the oven rack(s) where you need them and

put your food in the oven. To place your racks correctly, see “Positioning racks” under “Using the Oven” earlier in this section.

2. Choose the bake setting.

3. Set the temperature (optional).

Do this step if you want to set a temperature other than 350°F (177°C). Press ▲ to raise the temperature or ▼ to lower the temperature in 5°F (3°C) amounts. Use these pads until the temperature you want shows on the small display.

4. Press COOK TIME.

THE OVEN VENT

Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent that is near the middle of the

backguard.

The vent lets air circulate properly. Be careful not to block the vent, or you will get poor baking/roasting results.

NOTE: Never store plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent, or any of the surface burners.

USING YOUR RANGE

Use the storage drawer to store cookware. You can remove the storage drawer to make it easier to clean under your range.

Removing the storage drawer:

1. Empty the drawer before you remove it. Pull the

drawer straight out to the first stop. (The stops are small, round objects formed in the slide rail. They keep the drawer from sliding all the way out.) Then lift the front of the drawer and pull it out to the second stop.

2. Lift the back of the drawer slightly and slide it all

the way out.

Replacing the storage drawer:

1. Position the drawer so that the lower drawer

guides rest just inside the front frame lip.

2. Lift the front of the drawer and push it in until

the metal stops and the drawer slide rails clear the upper drawer guides. Then slide the drawer closed.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

BEFORE YOU START

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:

•

Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket. You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.

•

Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door and frame.

•

Remove the broiler pan and grid and any cookware/bakeware being stored in the oven.

•

Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

•

Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as possible after the oven cools down. When sugar is heated to a high temperature in the SelfCleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain. This can cause staining and etching or pitting.

•

Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will become harder to slide. (See the “Cleaning chart” in the “Caring for Your Range” section.) If you clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides are counted from bottom to top.)

•

Heat and odors are normal during the SelfCleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the SelfCleaning cycle. Move birds to another closed and well ventilated room.

DO NOT hand-clean gasket

Hand-clean frame

Hand-clean door around edge

TIPS:

•

Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

•

Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

•

Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.

•

Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They may melt.

•

Do not leave any foil in the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

•

The oven light will not work during the SelfCleaning cycle.

wWARNING

Burn Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling

dangerous fumes.
