Before Setting Surface Controls 9 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Gas Surface Burners Your built-in range is equipped with gas surface burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases (Figure 1). Regardless of size or location, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan.
Before Setting Surface Controls Assembling the G5 burners IMPORTANT! For proper ignition: Burner Ring Alignment Tab Must Align with Burner Base Alignment Tab Slot. NOTE: When the burner ring is properly seated, it will click into place. When the burner cap is properly set in place it should not move out of the recessed area of the burner head.
Before Setting Surface Controls 11 Setting Proper Burner Flame Size Cookware Material Types The most popular materials available are: Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy and increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Figure 5). • Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting). The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment.
Before Setting Surface Controls Using a Griddle A griddle (optional) is intended for direct food cooking and can be used on both sides. Do not use pans or other cookware on the griddle. Doing so could damage the finish. With the griddle in position over the burners, set the griddle on top of the grates. A griddle can be purchased as an accessory by ordering online at www.electrolux-store.com/cooking-accessories.html. Always place the griddle on the grate before lighting the burner.
Setting Surface Burners 13 SETTING SURFACE BURNERS Your gas appliance is equipped with different sized surface burners (Figure 9). The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. • The smaller simmer burner is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc. • Use standard size burners for most cooking needs.
Before Setting Oven Controls BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven Vent Location Oven Racks The oven vent is located in the front of the oven just below the burner controls. When the oven is in use, warm air passes through this vent for proper air circulation and provides good baking results. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal. Do not block this vent.
Before Setting Oven Controls 15 Arranging, Removing, and Replacing Oven Racks IMPORTANT! Remove all oven racks, rack ladders, and any other accessories from the oven before starting a self clean cycle. • To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven). • To remove - pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position.

The fan will turn off when the oven reaches the set temperature and the control will chime once to indicate the oven is ready. While baking, the oven will continue to cycle on and off to maintain the preset temperature.
Setting Oven Controls 19 Convection Bake Convection bake uses a fan to circulate the oven heat throughout the oven cavity (Figure 16). The improved heat distribution allows for even cooking results. Benefits of convection bake: • Multiple oven rack baking. • Foods cook more evenly. For best results: • Leave oven light off while baking. • When using a single rack, use glide rack in position 4 or the flat rack in position 5.
Setting Oven Controls Broil To set Broil: 1. Place broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the food on the broiler pan insert. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert. 2. If an oven fire occurs, turn the oven off and do not open the door. Opening the door will feed oxygen to the fire. If the fire continues, you can throw baking soda on the fire or use a Class B/C fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire.
Setting Oven Controls 21 Recommended Broiling Times Use the broiling table (Table 2 below) for recommended broiling times for the types of meat listed.

If the food you are broiling is not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided in your recipe and watch the broiling process closely.
Setting Oven Controls Convection Roast Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and element to roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside. Preheating for convection roast will not be necessary for most meats and poultry.
Setting Oven Controls 23 Convection Roasting tips: • Preheating for convection roast is not necessary. • Roast food on the lowest rack of the oven. • When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. • Convection roast cooks faster, you can reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommended recipe. If needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
