Before you begin Getting started To install Full Access® racks Note: The graphics are representative. Your appliance may have different graphic appearances. 1. Hold the rack on a slight angle and place the safety hooks under the front of the rack guides. Rating plate • • • Record the model and serial number. The model and serial number must be provided when calling customer support for assistance. Register your BSH product to ensure timely service and access to your product related information.
To install flat racks 1. Grasp rack firmly on both sides and insert rack. 2. Tilt rack up to allow stop into rack guide. The range occasionally has an odor or smoke when first used. These odors or smoke comes from the burning off of manufacturing residues and is typical of any new oven regardless of manufacturer. Before baking or broiling, the oven and broiler should be turned on to burn off the manufacturing oils using one of the two following methods: 1.
Using the rangetop Sealed STAR® burners Checking the burner cap placement • Check each burner to make sure there is no gap between the burner cap and burner base. • You may gently try to move the burner caps from side to side to check if the caps are properly placed on the burner bases. When properly placed, each burner cap will rest flat on top of its burner base, and completely cover the star-shape of the burner base when viewed from the top as shown below.
Control knobs Operation of the ExtraLow® burners The control knobs for two sealed gas burners, one in front and one in the rear, are located directly in front of and below the pair of burners on the control panel. • XLO, the very lowest setting, is achieved by cycling the flame on for approximately 10 seconds and off for 50 seconds of each minute. • When the knob is set just below the XLO setting, the flame will cycle on for approximately 50 seconds and off for 10 seconds of each minute.
Automatic re-ignition Flame height • The correct flame height depends on 1) size and material of pan being used; 2) food being cooked; and 3) amount of liquid in the pan. • Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan. • Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that conduct the heat slowly, such as porcelain coated steel or glass-ceramic. 9 CAUTION DO NOT touch the burners when the igniters are sparking. Each burner has its own electronic igniter that sparks when the burner is turned on.
Cookware recommendations 9 WARNING • • • DO NOT let plastic, paper, or cloth come in contact with a hot burner grate. They may melt or catch fire. • Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc. should never be used on the rangetop. Professional quality pans with metal handles are recommended because plastic handles can melt or blister if the flame extends up the side of the pan.
Specialty cookware Canning tips • A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave, convex or rippled base. • When using two canners at the same time, use staggered burners. DO NOT block air to the burners. A flame needs the right amount of air for complete combustion. • Use a cover on the canner when bringing the contents to a boil. • Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure. • Canning produces a large amount of steam.

Seasoning the griddle plate To season the griddle If the griddle plate seems to lose its non-stick abilities over time, the following instructions should help regain the griddle’s non-stick properties. For optimal performance and long life of your griddle plate, follow these simple cleaning and seasoning instructions. Seasoning is a process by which a layer of animal fat or vegetable oil is applied and baked into the cookware. The seasoning layer provides a non-stick surface for cooking. 1.
Electric grill Assembling the grill 6 Description 4 9 WARNING • • • • • • • • • • To avoid risk of injury, NEVER operate grill without the grates or griddle plate accessory installed. NEVER leave grill unattended while cooking. Observe caution with oils and fats. Overheated oils and fats can easily cause fires. DO NOT use wood chips, lava rocks, or charcoal briquettes. Only use recommended ceramic briquettes (PABRICKBKN). DO NOT use dishes, pans, pots, or other cookware on the grill.
5. Fold both grill heating elements (5) down. The grill heating elements must lie flat. Supports should rest inside of side notches. 6. Install the grill grates (6).

Getting the most out of your appliance Oven rack positions Rack level positions in the oven are numbered on the front frame like an elevator. Number one level is the lowest and number five level is at the top. Main oven two rack baking Levels 2 and 5 dual fuel 2 and 4 gas Bake mode -- Casserole dishes Secondary oven (48" models) Level 1 Bake mode -- Best used for most baked items. Main oven three rack baking If three-rack baking is desired, the convection bake mode is best.
Pan placement • • Allow at least 1'' (25.4 mm) of space between the pans and the oven walls so heat can circulate around each pan. Stagger bakeware so that one is not directly above another. Allow 1½'' (38 mm) above and below each pan. Dual fuel main oven broil rack recommendations Level Dual fuel broil mode 5 -- Beef steaks, ground meat patties, ham steak and lamb chops 1'' (25.4 mm) or less in thickness. Also use when top browning foods.
Convection bake Utensils • • • Your appliance comes with a large two-piece broiler pan. The slotted grid allows drippings to flow into the lower pan, away from the intense heat of the broil element, minimizing spattering, smoking, and the chance of a grease fire. DO NOT cover the slotted grid (top) with aluminum foil. Use metal or glass-ceramic bakeware when top browning casseroles, main dishes, or bread. DO NOT use heat-proof glass or pottery.
One rack convection baking Level • Conv bake mode 3 or 4 -- When baking on one rack, best results are obtained in the bake mode. 2 -- Roasting a turkey or a large piece of meat. Conv bake mode 2 and 4 dual fuel -Gas see note -- Use for cakes. Cake pans should be staggered. Gas range rack levels for: Cookies: 3 and 5 Cakes: 2 and 5 Three rack convection baking Levels -- Gas see note -- When several sheets of cookies are to be baked.
True convection Do not open the oven door unnecessarily. Opening the door will lower the temperature of the air in the oven and lengthen the proofing time. Use the oven light to check the rising of the dough. About true convection True convection cooks with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
Convection roast • About convection roast • Convection roast uses heat from the top and bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan. • The convection roast mode is well suited for preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry. The benefits of convection roast mode include: • As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection modes. • Rich, golden browning. • Food may be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.
