before setting surface burners Control locations of the 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. The small simmer burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear burner position on the cooktop (see Figure 1). The standard burner can be used for most surface cooking needs.
setting surface burners Operating the gas surface controls 1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner. 2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position. 3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (see figures 1 & 2). Note: All four electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite. 4. Visually check that the burner has a flame. 5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven vent location The oven is vented at the center rear of the cooktop. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT. Never close off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. CAUTION Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Types of oven racks Your built-in range may be equipped with one or more of the oven racks styles shown; • Flat handle oven rack (Figure 1). • Flat oven half rack (Figure 3 & 4). • EffortlessTM oven rack (Figure 5 ). Figure 1 Flat handle oven rack CAUTION Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS The Effortless™ oven rack system Some models are equipped with a special oven rack system that automatically partially extends the oven rack from the interior oven glides to assist in easier access to your food items. This feature works whenever the oven door is opened or closed. To assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system: 1. Locate all required parts.
Setting OVEN controls Control pad features READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE OVEN. For satisfactory use of your oven, become familiar with the various features and functions of the oven as described below. Detailed instructions for each feature and function follow later in this Use & Care Guide. 1. Delay start pad—Use to program a Delayed Timed Bake or Delay Self-Cleaning cycle start time. 2. Bake time pad—Use to enter the length of the baking time. 3. Clock pad—Use to set the time of day.
Setting OVEN controls Minimum and Maximum Control Pad Settings All of the features listed below have minimum and maximum time or temperature settings that may be entered into the control. An ENTRY acceptance beep will sound each time a control pad is touched (the acceptance beep on the Oven Lockout pad is delayed 3 seconds). An ENTRY ERROR tone (3 short beeps) will sound if the entry of the temperature or time is below the minimum or above the maximum settings for the feature.
Setting OVEN controls Setting Continuous Bake or 6 Hour Energy Saving The TIMER and SELF CLEAN pads control the Continuous Bake or 6 Hour Energy Saving features. The oven control has a factory preset built-in 6 Hour Energy Saving feature that will shut off the oven if the oven control is left on for more than 6 hours. The oven can be programmed to override this feature for Continuous Baking. To set the control for Continuous Bake or 6 Hour Energy Saving features 1. Press and hold TIMER for 6 seconds.
Setting OVEN controls Setting MINUTE Timer The TIMER ON.OFF pad controls the Minute Timer feature. The Minute Timer serves as an extra timer in the kitchen that will beep when the set time has run out. It does not start or stop cooking. The Minute Timer feature can be used during any of the other oven control functions. Refer to “Minimum and Maximum Control Pad Settings” for time amount settings. To set the Minute Timer (example for 5 minutes) 1. Press TIMER ON.OFF.
Setting OVEN controls Setting Power Preheat Setting Bake The PREHEAT pad controls the Power Preheat feature. The Preheat feature will bring the oven up to temperature and then indicate when to place the food in the oven. Use this feature when recipes call for preheating. Preheating is not necessary when roasting or cooking casseroles. The oven can be programmed to preheat at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 288°C). Some food with short cooking duration may need more cooking time.
Setting OVEN controls Setting Convection Bake 4th Rack position This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best culinary results when baking with multiple pans and racks. Multiple rack baking may slightly increase cook time for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Some food may cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Convection baking uses the bake burner, the convection element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Setting Convection CONVERsion The Convect Convert pad is used to automatically convert a standard baking recipe for convection baking. When set properly, this feature is designed to display the actual converted (reduced) temperature in the display. Convect Convert may ONLY be used with a Convection Bake cooking mode. It can be used with the features Delay Start and Bake Time (see their sections for directions).
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Setting BAKE TIME Bake Time allows the oven to be set to cook for a specific length of time and shut off automatically. The oven will shut off and will beep when the countdown is finished. This feature can be used with Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Roast, Pizza and Nuggets cooking modes. To program the oven to begin baking immediately and to shut off automatically (example: BAKE at 350°F for 30 minutes): 1. Be sure the clock is set for the correct time of day. 2.
Setting OVEN controls SETTING KEEP WARM SETTING PIZZA This mode is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serving after cooking has finished. The WARM pad turns ON the Keep Warm feature and will maintain an oven temperature of 170°F (77°C). The Keep Warm feature will keep oven baked foods warm for serving up to 3 hours after cooking has finished. After 3 hours the Keep Warm feature will shut the oven OFF.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING CHICKEN NUGGETS SETTING FAVORITE The NUGGETS pad has been designed to give optimum cooking performance when cooking your favorite chicken nuggets. The Nuggets pad is preset for a Convection Bake at 400°F (204°C) with a Bake Time of 18 minutes, ending with a Keep Warm setting. If needed, a different target temperature or Bake Time than the presets can be entered. The Favorite setting allow you to save your most frequently used or most complex cooking sequence.
Setting OVEN controls SETTING BROIL This mode is best for meats, fish and poultry up to 1” thick. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. The BROIL pad controls the Broil feature. An optional Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Insert are available via the enclosed accessories brochure (Figure 1 & 2).
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING the Sabbath Feature (for use on the Jewish Sabbath & Holidays) The BAKE TIME and DELAY START pads are used to set the Sabbath feature. The Sabbath feature may only be used with the BAKE pad. The oven temperature may be set higher or lower after setting the Sabbath feature (the oven temperature adjustment feature should be used only during Jewish Holidays), however the display will not visibly show or provide any audible tones indicating whether the change occurred correctly.
Setting OVEN controls Adjusting Oven Temperature Oven light The temperature in the oven has been pre-set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven temperature to be more or less than what is displayed. Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting that is higher or lower than the recommended temperature.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Self-cleaning A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. IMPORTANT Adhere to the following cleaning precautions: • DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior. • DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Setting OVEN controls SETTING SELF-CLEAN CYCLE TIME LENGTH The SELF CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
Setting keep warm drawer control Keep warm drawer rack positions The rack can be used in 2 ways: • In the upright position (Figure 1) to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath). • In the downward position (Figure 2) to allow you to place light weight food items and empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.
