COOKTOP USE continued Guidelines for using the cooktop burners: • The dual burners feature a low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle simmering (620 BTU/hr). Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot. • Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. • Never allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up its sides.
Ouvert COOKTOP USE continued Bouton du brûleur supérieur Surface burner ignition: • To light the top burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counterclockwise to the “HI” position. You will hear a clicking noise - the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. Once burner ignition has been achieved, turn the burner control knob to adjust the desired heat setting. ! CAUTION When one burner is turned to the “HI” position, the burner igniters will spark.
COOKTOP USE continued Flame size: • To select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the control knob. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted. The flame should be steady and blue in colour. Foreign material in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial operation. 1 inch (2.5 cm) Power failure: ! If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn CAUTION off the valve and allow at least five minutes for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure. 2.
OVEN USE Oven Cooking Guidelines: ! IMPOR TANT Do not block the ducts on the rear of the range when using the oven. It is important that there is a continuous flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air into the oven burner. Avoid touching the vent opening or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation--they may become hot. • Keep oven door closed when using oven (bake or broil modes). • Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven shelves or to line the floor of the oven.
OVEN USE continued Oven Function: Natural Airflow Bake occurs when heat is transferred into the oven from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity. Heat is then circulated by natural airflow. This is a traditional bake setting. Broiler The upper broiler burner is located at the top of the oven, with an output of 13,000 BTUs. This burner sears the outside of broiled foods and sealing in juices.
OVEN USE continued Notes about Convection Cooking: Convection cooking generally provides a more even temperature with faster baking times than the standard oven baking setting. When baking in Convection Mode, either reduce the temperature stated in the recipe and leave the baking time unchanged, or reduce the baking time by several minutes and leave the temperature unchanged. For foods with a baking time of over an hour, reducing both the temperature and the time slightly may give the best results.
OVEN USE continued Defrosting - Oven Function: To thaw uncooked frozen food, set the oven temperature to 100-150˚F. Once thawed, cook the food immediately and do not refreeze. Prevent drips and spills from thawing food by ensuring that defrosting food is tightly wrapped in foil or is placed in oven-proof cookware. Broiler Operation: Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat directly under the broiler in the oven.
OVEN USE continued Broiler Operation - Preheating: Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. To preheat, turn the “OVEN” selector knob to the “BROIL” position. Wait for the broiler burner to become hot, approximately 2 minutes, and then place food beneath the broiler. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meat to well-done. To Broil: The “OVEN” selector knob controls the Broil feature. When broiling, the heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage.
OVEN USE continued Broiler guidelines: 1. Choose a suitable shelf position. To ensure that meat is cooked through rather than just browned on the outside, broil thick pieces of meat and poultry on shelf positions 2 or 3. Use shelf position 4 for thinner items that need less cooking time like steaks, chops, or hamburger patties. 2. When finishing off meals by browning the top under the broiler, use metal or glass-ceramic cookware.
GRIDDLE USE (for 36” model) Griddle Operation: Before using the griddle for the first time, clean it thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove dust and any remaining manufacturing residue. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. Make sure that the grease trap is properly installed under the front edge of the griddle to neatly catch excess cooking oils and food residue. Use the stainless steel cover to keep your griddle clean and dust free between uses.
CARE AND CLEANING Cleaning guidelines: Read the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and ‘CARE AND CLEANING” sections before you start cleaning your range. See the pages following for instructions on removing and replacing different parts of the range for cleaning and maintenance. To help you identify parts, see the range diagrams on pages 11/12. • Before cleaning or removing any part, make sure that all settings on the range and oven are set to “OFF”.
CARE AND CLEANING continued To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off controls and ensure the cooktop is cool before cleaning. Burner Caps and Brass Flame Spreaders: Check that the burner is turned OFF and allow it to cool. Lift off the burner cap and brass flame spreader. Use a stiff nylon brush or straight-ended paper clip to clear the notches of a flame spreader. Wash them in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry. Replace the flame spreader and burner cap correctly.
CARE AND CLEANING continued To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off controls and ensure the cooktop is cool before cleaning. Bake and Broil Burners: Do not clean these parts. They self-clean during normal use. Porcelain Surfaces : • Clean the cooktop surface with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, polishes, or commercial cooktop/oven cleaners to clean the cooktop.
CARE AND CLEANING continued To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off controls and ensure the range and oven are cool before cleaning. Removing and Replacing the Oven Door: ! Do not lift the oven door by its handle. Doing so may IMPORTANT damage the handle or the door. • Before removing the door, make sure you have a flat, protected surface nearby on which to rest the oven door. • Take care when lifting or moving the oven door; it is heavy! To remove the oven door, proceed as follows: 1.
CARE AND CLEANING continued To replace the oven door, proceed as follows: 1. Hold the door firmly in both hands. 2.
