Setting Surface Controls Sizes of the Surface Gas Burners Figure 1 Figure 2 Your gas range was supplied with 4 different surface gas burners; a "SIMMER" Burner (5,000 BTU), a STANDARD burner (9,500 BTU), a "POWER" Burner (12,000 BTU) and a POWER PLUS™ Burner (14,000 BTU). When setting up the gas range for the first time, make sure that the correct Burner Heads, Burner Caps and Burner Grates are correctly (See Fig. 1).
Setting Surface Controls Control Locations of the Gas Surface Burners Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with 4 different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. The smaller SIMMER burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear burner position on the cooktop (See Fig. 1). The STANDARD size burner can be used for most surface cooking needs.
Surface Cooking Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size PROPER FLAME SIZE IMPROPER FLAME SIZE Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases the risk of being burned by the gas flame. For most cooking - start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking.
Before Setting Oven Controls Arranging the Oven Racks ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when the oven is hot. Oven Vent Location The oven vent is located below the backguard. When the oven is on, hot air is released through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Removing and Replacing Oven Racks To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.
Setting Warming Drawer Controls (some models) Arranging Warming Drawer Rack Positions The rack can be used in 2 ways: • In the upright position 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 to allow you to place light weight food items and empty cookware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Self-Cleaning Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the selfcleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room. A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. These temperatures are well above normal cooking temperatures. 1.
Self-Cleaning To Start Self-Clean Cycle The 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 to self-clean for 3 hours will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
Self-Cleaning To Start Delayed Self-Clean Cycle The CLEAN , STOP TIME pads and length of clean cycle, controls the Delayed Self-Clean operation. The automatic timer will turn the oven on and off at the time you select in advance. Be sure to review TO START THE SELFCLEAN CYCLE for recommended clean times. During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance. DO NOT force the oven door open.
Self-Cleaning To Start the Delayed Self-Clean Cycle (cont’d) INSTRUCTIONS PRESS DISPLAY Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fire in the oven: 1. Press . 2. Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 HOUR and the "DOOR LOCKED" icon is no longer displayed, the oven door can then be opened (Fig. 2-1).
