Before Setting Surface Controls BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Using Proper Cookware Surface burners may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The surface burner may still be hot and burns may occur if the surface burner is touched before it has cooled sufficiently. For best cooking results, cookware should have flat bottoms that rest level on the surface burner grate. Before using cookware, check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Figure 1).
Before Setting Surface Controls BURNER CAP PLACEMENT 9 On round style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure 5) should fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level. Check burner cap placement before operating the surface burners. Burner cap To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size. Turn the burner on to determine if it will light.
Before Setting Surface Controls INSTALLING BURNER GRATES For the 18 000 BTU burner: Place the burner head over the gas orifice (Figure 8). Be careful not to damage the electrode while placing the burner head over the orifice. Make sure electrode fits correctly into slot in burner head. IMPORTANT! For proper ignition, the burner ring alignment tab must align with burner base alignment tab slot. Surface burners may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off.
Setting Surface Controls 11 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Types of Cooktop Surface Burners The cooktop comes with a variety of burners to accommodate different sizes of cookware. 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 SETTING PROPER BURNER FLAME SIZE Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil.
Setting Surface Controls SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Your cooktop may be equipped with any combination of the following burners: • Simmer Burner: best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. • Standard Burner: used for most all surface cooking needs. • Large Burner: best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food. • Your cooktop is also equipped with 270° rotation flame control valves.
Setting Surface Controls Using the Griddle (Some Models) The griddle 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. Center the griddle over the simmer oval burner. Surface burners may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The surface burner may still be hot and burns may occur if the surface burner is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Before Setting Oven Controls BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven Vents Types of Oven Racks The oven is vented above each door. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal. Flat Oven Rack Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

Setting Oven Controls 21 Timers Interior Oven Lights This unit is equipped with two kitchen timers which serves as extra timers in the kitchen that will chime when the set time has run out. These timers can help timed cooking or food preparation times without interfering with any active cooking process. They do not start or stop cooking. When the time countdown reaches less than 1 minute, the display will show the time remaining in seconds.
Setting Oven Controls RAPID PREHEAT The rapid preheat feature can be set using the following oven modes: bake and convection bake. When activated, the oven will begin preheating quickly and PRE-HEATING will appear in the display. The minimum temperature shown is 170ºF (76ºC). A tone will sound to indicate the oven has finished preheating and PRE-HEATING will disappear from the display.
Setting Oven Controls 23 BAKE Bake may be set with these options: 1) rapid preheat; 2) cook time; 3) end time; and 4) meat probe, achieved through using the cook time and end time settings. To set the oven for bake at the default oven temperature of 350°F (176°C): Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a hot oven. When baking, the oven interior and oven racks will become hot enough to cause burns. Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom.
Setting Oven Controls Cook Time Setting Cook Time with End Time Cook time is used when a recipe calls for a specific temperature and cook time. It allows the oven to be set to cook for a set length of time and shut off automatically.The maximum cook time is 11 hours, 59 minutes. This feature can be used with bake, convection bake, convection roast, keep warm, defrost, bread proof, and dehydrate. It can also be part of a multi stage sequence.
Setting Oven Controls 25 BROIL Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. This mode is best for meats, fish, and poultry up to 1" thick. The meat probe cannot be used with this mode. Depending on cooking preferences, you can increase or decrease cooking times or move food to a different rack position. If the food you are broiling is not listed in Table 4 , follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item closely.
Setting Oven Controls CONVECTION BAKE Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 32). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even baking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time. Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.
Setting Oven Controls Convection Baking/Convert Tips • Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, biscuits, and breads. • When using any single oven rack, use the radiant bake function and position the rack in the oven so that the food is in the center of the oven. • When baking cakes using two oven racks, place bakeware in positions 1 and 4 (Figure 34) and place pans as shown in Figure 33. Use a flat rack in position 4 and a glide rack in position 1.
Setting Oven Controls Using Convection convert with cook time When convection conversion is used with the cook time feature, CF (check food) will be displayed when 75% of the bake time is complete. The control will chime at regular intervals until CANCEL off is pressed, as a reminder to check the food. When the cook time runs out, the oven will shut off automatically and chime. To set convection convert for 30 minutes at 375°F (191°C): Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven.
Setting Oven Controls 29 Convection Roast To properly arrange food for roasting: Convection roast is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, gently browning the exterior and sealing in the juices and flavors. Use this mode when cooking speed is desired. Convection roast uses the hidden bake element, the hidden convection element, the broil element, and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
Setting Oven Controls Convection Roasting tips: • Preheating for convection roast will not be necessary for most meats and poultry. • Arrange oven racks so the food is in the center of the oven. • Since convection roast cooks faster, you can reduce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
Setting Oven Controls 31 Keep Warm 4. Keep warm is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serving after cooking has finished. It may be set with cook time, cook time/end time, and multi stage. Keep warm uses the hidden bake element to maintain the temperature within the oven. Keep warm will run continuously or (if used with bake time) until the time runs out. Press -lo until the temperature shows 150 on the display. 5. Press START enter. 6.
Setting Oven Controls MEAT PROBE Tips for Probe Placement When cooking meat such as roasts, hams, or poultry, use the meat probe function to check the internal temperature without guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts, testing the internal temperature is the best method to ensure properly cooked meats. Your oven will automatically change from cooking to keep warm once the probe has reached the set temperature.

Heated air circulates around the turkey from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Poultry cooked with this feature are crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside. Perfect turkey combines a cook cycle with the convection fan. The probe is used to monitor the exact internal temperature of the turkey while cooking.
Setting Oven Controls 35 Setting Defrost Setting Dehydrate Only frozen foods that can be defrosted and served without cooking should be used with this feature.Use defrost to thaw small portions of delicate items such as cream cakes, frozen cream pies, and cheesecake at room temperature. While in the defrost mode, the convection fan will operate to circulate room temperature air around the food slowly, accelerating the natural defrosting of the food without using heat.
Setting Oven Controls Setting Bread Proof Slow Cook The bread proof feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products. Bread proof can be set with the following options: cook time or cook time with end time. The following temperature settings apply to the bread proof feature: Slow cook may be used to cook foods more slowly, at lower oven temperatures and provide cooking results much the same way as a slow cooker or crock-pot.
