Using Your Range
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.
The flame should be adjusted so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the pan.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If
the burner does not ignite, listen for a clicking
sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn the
burner off. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or
blown household fuse.
Check that the control knob is pressed
completely down on the valve shaft. If the spark
igniter still does not operate, call a trained repair
specialist.
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 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 a prolonged power failure, the surface burners cannot be lit manually. No attempt should be made to
operate the appliance during a power failure.
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.
Racks
� Position racks before turning on the oven.
� Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
� Make sure racks are level.
� Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least
1/2" (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil element.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift it out. Use the following illustrations as a guide for
positioning racks.
For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior in the lower oven, use a flat rack in rack
position 5. Side 1 should cook for approximately 2
1
/

to 3
1
/

minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to
5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.
Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use rack
positions 2 and 4 with the Convection Bake function. Place
the cakes on the racks as shown.
Baking Cookies on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use rack
positions 2 and 4 with the Bake function.
BURNER SIZE
Select a burner that best fits your cookware. Burner positions will vary based on the model of your range. See
the following illustration and chart.
Burner Size Recommended Use

� Low-heat cooking
� Melting chocolate or butter
Large
� For large cookware

OVEN VENTS
The oven vents release hot air and moisture from
the ovens and should not be blocked or covered.
Blocking or covering the vents 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 vents.
A. Upper oven vent
B. Lower oven vent
OVEN LIGHT
The oven light is a 40 W halogen bulb. Before replacing, make sure the oven and cooktop are cool and the
control knobs are in the Off position.
To Replace:
1. Disconnect power.
2. Turn the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven counterclockwise to remove.
3. Remove bulb from socket.
4. Replace bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle bulb. To avoid damage to or decreasing the
life of the new bulb, do not touch bulb with bare fingers.
5. Replace bulb cover by turning clockwise.
6. Reconnect power.
IMPORTANT: Do not use lamps rated higher than 40 W.
SABBATH MODE:
The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting until disabled.
