9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS It is the personal responsibility and obligation of you, the user, to have this appliance connected to the electrical power supply by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the National Electrical Code and/or applicable local codes and ordinances. Clearances from non-combustible materials are not part of the ANSI Z21.1 scope and are not certified by CSA.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING To reduce the risk of injury to persons, in the event of a range top grease fire, observe the following: • Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or the electric element. Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department. • Never pick up a flaming pan. You may be burned.
9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Never leave the appliance unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Also, if the burner flames and igniter are smothered with spillage, unburned gas will escape into the room. See page 6 regarding gas leaks. Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for cooking on the burners.
9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS When cooking fatty or oily foods on burners, the grill, or the griddle, adjacent gas burners can ignite airborne fumes.

Before you begin Getting started Data rating label • Record the model and serial number on page 54. • 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. For product registration information see page 54. To install Full Access® racks: 1. Hold the rack on a slight angle and place the safety hooks under the front of the rack guides. Surface burners 1.
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. IMPORTANT: ALWAYS remove the oven racks before selfcleaning the oven.
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 Each burner has its own electronic igniter that sparks when the burner is turned on. Each burner should light in 4 seconds or less. If a burner does not light, check to see that the cap is positioned correctly on the base. • 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.
Cookware recommendations 9 WARNING • • Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed directly on the burner grate. Aluminum foil can melt during cooking. • To avoid risk of serious injury, damage to appliance or cookware, please observe the following: 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.
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 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. To season the griddle 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 NOTE: Not available on all models. 3 9 WARNING • To avoid risk of injury, NEVER operate grill without the grates or griddle plate accessory installed. 2 • NEVER leave grill unattended while cooking. 5 • 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).
Operating the grill Operation IMPORTANT: To operate the grill • If flames appear while grilling, turn off heat and remove the food. Use caution to avoid any potential injury while removing food. 1. Start overhead ventilation system 10 minutes prior to grilling to begin air movement. • Often, such flames will extinguish themselves within a few minutes once grease drippings have burned up. DO NOT leave the grill unattended until all flames are extinguished.
Grill cooking recommendations IMPORTANT: • GRILL SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT PROPER VENTILATION. • Foods with excessive fat or grease should not be prepared on an indoor grill. Grilling foods with high fat content (certain types of ground beef, sausage, etc) increases the chances of smoke and flames.

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 or conv 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 • Racks 2 and 4 or 1, 3 and 5 can be used for multiple rack dehydrating. Use rack 3 if only dehydrating one rack. • Dehydrating meat is not recommended due to food safety concerns. • Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative Extension Office or library for additional information. Conv bake mode 3 -- When baking on one rack, best results are obtained in the bake mode. 2 -- Roasting a turkey or a large piece of meat.
True convection 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. True convection is well suited for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and pastries. It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time. Proofing time may be decreased when using the large oven at the same time you are proofing. Check bread product early to avoid over-proofing.
• As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection modes. • Rich, golden browning. Tips: • Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe. • Check doneness early, since roasting time may decrease. • Do not cover meat or use cooking bags. • Use the broil pan and grid provided with the oven for roasting. A shallow, uncovered pan can also be used. • Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.
