To Set: COOKTOP USE Cooktop Controls WARNING 1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LIGHT. All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to LIGHT will produce a flame. 2. Turn knob anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels. SETTING RECOMMENDED USE LIGHT ■ Light the burner. HIGH ■ Start food cooking. ■ Bring liquid to a boil. ■ Hold a rapid boil. ■ Quickly brown or sear food. ■ Fry or sauté foods.
To Clean: Surface Burners IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges. Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers. Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition and uneven flames.
Home Canning When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool. ■ Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area. ■ Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners at the same time. ■ On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.
ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL 3 1 1. Oven Settings 2. Temperature 3. Display 4. 5. 6. 7. 2 4 5 6 Clock Timer Oven Light Hour 7 8 9 10 8. Minute 9. Start/Enter (Control Lock) 10. Off/Cancel Display Timer When power is first supplied to the appliance, “PF” will appear on the display. Press OFF to clear. Any other time “PF” appears, a power failure has occurred. Press OFF and reset the Clock if needed. When the oven is not in use, the display shows the time of day.
Oven Temperature Control IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door and element or burner cycling may give incorrect readings. The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius. A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount.
BAKEWARE To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2 in. (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide. NUMBER OF PAN(S) POSITION ON RACK 1 Center of rack. 2 Side by side or slightly staggered. 3 or 4 Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another. Bakeware The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe.
Baking and Roasting ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System (on some models) The ACCUBAKE system electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.
Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer: RANGE CARE Self-Cleaning Cycle (on some models) WARNING Burn Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well ventilated room.
SURFACE BURNERS General Cleaning IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted. Sealed Burner models See “Surface Burners” section.
