USING THE RANGE

SURFACE BURNER

Lighting a Surface Burner

WARNING Burners should be operated only when covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.

Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.Select a burner are and find its control knob. Push the knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

You will hear a clicking noise - the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. When one burner is turned to LITE, all burners will spark. Sparking will continue as long as the knob remains at LITE. Once gas is ignited, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

These flames are too large for the pot

Using the Surface Burners

NOTES:

• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
• Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while another burner is on. Damage to the product may occur.
• Be sure the burner and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials on them.

Your rangetop has sealed gas burners that offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.

The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking performance for foods such as delicate sauces that require low heat for a long cooking time.

The extra-large burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. Some models have a POWER BOIL™ setting especially designed for use with cookware with a diameter of 11inches or larger.

Types of Surface Burners

Tri-Ring Burner (some models)

For large cookware, activate all rings by setting set the burner between Hi and Med.	For small cookware or low heating applications, only activate the inner rings by setting the burner between Lo and Sim.

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat or as the manufacturer recommends.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check the cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Do not use stove top grills

Using a Wok

• Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.
• Do not use a wok support ring. placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Use a flat-bottomed wok

COOKING GUIDE

*When baking four cake layers at a time, stagger the pans as shown to the right so that one pan is not directly above another.

Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations for food safety can be found at IsItDoneYet.gov. Make sure to use a food thermometer to take food temperatures.

NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for faster preheat, improved efficiency and optimal cooking performance.

COOKWARE GUILDELINES

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.

• Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
  • If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25° F next time.
• Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.
• Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.
• Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.
• Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
• Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is recommended to preheat this type of cookware if possible. Additional cook time may be required.

COOKING MODES

Bake

The bake mode is for baking and roasting. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies and pastries, always preheat the oven first. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start.

Warm/Warming Drawer (on some models)

Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods the should be crisp. Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal. It is also recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. See the Oven Controls section for more information.

Some models may also have warming drawers. Three settings are available - use High for items such as stews, meats, and potatoes; use Medium for items such as casseroles and pizzas; use Low for items such as breads, waffles, and also for warming oven-safe dishes.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the oven door/drawer closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling placing food close to the broil element or burner increases smoking, spattering and the possibility of fats igniting. It is not necessary to preheat when using the Broil modes.

Broil Hi

The Broil High mode uses intense heat from the upper element or burner to sear foods. Use Broil High for thinner cuts of meat and/or when you would like to have e a seared surface and rare interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start.

Broil Lo

The Broil Low mode uses less intense heat from the upper element or burner to cook food thoroughly while also browning the surface. use Broil Low for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start.

Convection Bake

The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto

Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to adjust the temperature when using this mode. Baking times may be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the Conv Bake pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then press Start. Always preheat when using this mode.

Convection Roast

The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to improve browning and reduce cooking time. Check food earlier than the recipe suggested time when using this mode, or use the probe. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

To use this mode press the Conv Roast pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

• Clean up splatters with a damp cloth. You may also use a glass cleaner.
• Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind.
• Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning.

Control Panel

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use.

Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel-they will damage the finish, including Black Stainless Steel.

Oven Exterior

Do not use oven cleaners liquid cleansers, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven.

Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.

If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the door, top of control panel and the drawer front. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wood or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

Stainless Steel excluding Black Stainless Steel (on some models)

Do not use steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

Cleaning The Oven - Interior

Manual Cleaning

Do not use oven cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, or scouring pads on the interior of the oven. For soils on the oven bottom and other enameled surfaces, use a gentle abrasive containing oxalic acid, such as Bar Keepers Friend®, with a non-scratch sponge. Take care not to apply any abrasive cleaners or sponges to the door glass, as it will scratch the reflective coating.

The oven interior and door glass may be cleaned using a soft cloth with a mild soap and water, or vinegar and water solution. After cleaning, rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Self Clean Mode

Self Clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven interior. For a moderately soiled oven, run a hour self-clean cycle. For a heavily soiled oven, run a 3 hour self-clean cycle. Only self-clean (black) racks and grates may remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. All other items, including nickel plated (silver) racks, should be removed. If nicke lplated (silver) racks are left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, the racks will tarnish. If either type of rack is left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, the rack may become difficult to slide.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well- ventilated room.

To use the Self Clean feature:

1. Start with the oven at room temperature.

2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven and interior door.

3. Remove all items other the self-clean (black) racks and grates, if desired.

4. Close the door.

5. Press Self Clean pad and then press Start.

• You cannot open the door during the self-clean cycle.
• The door will remain locked after the self-clean cycle until the oven cools below the unlocking temperature.
• At the end of the self-clean cycle, allow the oven to cool and wipe any ash out of the oven.

Racks

All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water.

Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

Probe (on some models)

The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn spots with a soap- filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.

• Do not immerse the temperature probe in water.
• Do not store the temperature probe in the oven.
• Do not leave the temperature probe inside the oven during a self or steam clean cycle.

Cleaning Cooktop

Removal of Surface Burners for Cleaning

Cleaning the Surface Burners

Cleaning the Burner Caps

Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. The round burner caps may also be cleaned in your dishwasher.

Cleaning the Burner Heads

Wash the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers which could clog the burner openings. Lift burners off when cool. Wash with hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean water. For more stubborn stains, use a brush with plastic bristles.

NOTE:

• Do not use steel wool or scouring pads to clean the burner parts as these may clog the openings. Never wash burner heads in your dishwasher as dishwasher. Doing so may cause them to discolor.
• The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.
• Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow the burner to operate properly.

For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the notch that fits over the electrode is kept open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it.

Replacing Surface Burners

Before replacing the burner caps, heads and oval head/cap assembly, shake out excess water and allow them to dry thoroughly.

Replace burner heads in the correct locations according to size. Ensure each cap is properly seated on the burner head, as pictured below.

CAUTION Do not operate the cooktop without all burner parts and grates in place. Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Avoid hitting the electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged.

Burner Grates

Manual Cleaning

Grates should be washed in hot, soapy water and rinsed with clean water. To soften burned-on food, place grates in a solution containing 1⁄4-cup of household ammonia for several hours. Afterward, scrub grates with a plastic scouring pad soaked in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry.

Self Clean Mode (on some models)

If your grates do not have rubber bumpers on their bottom surface, they may be cleaned in the oven using the self-clean cycle. Do not attempt to clean your grates in the oven if your grates have rubber bumpers. Doing so will destroy the rubber bumpers and may affect the function of your surface burners.

Porcelain coated grates may gradually dull if continually exposed to self-clean temperatures.

If your oven is equipped with self-clean (black) racks, it is recommended to follow the instructions for placing grates on racks.

If your oven is equipped with nickel-plated (silver) racks, it is recommended to follow the instructions for placing grates on the oven bottom.

Nickel-plated racks should not remain in the oven during the self clean cycle. Doing so will tarnish the racks. If either type of rack is left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, the rack may become difficult to slide.

NOTE: When placing or removing grates from the oven, do not slide the grates on the racks or oven bottom. Doing so could damage the enamel on the racks or oven bottom.

To self-clean your grates on self-clean racks:

1. Insert racks in position 1,3, and 5 or positions 2 and 4.
2. Gently place one grate on each rack.

To self clean your grates on the oven bottom:

1. Remove all oven racks.
2. Gently place one grate on the center of the oven bottom with the grate oriented in the upright position. Stack remaining grates(s) as shown below. Do not place or stack grates in any other configuration.

Once the grates are placed in the oven, operate the self- clean cycle per the instruction in the Cleaning the Oven section.

NOTE:

• Use caution when removing the grates from the oven after the self-clean cycle has ended. The grates may still be hot.
• Once the self-clean cycle is complete, the grates may carefully be removed. You may notice a white residue on the grates. Wipe it off with a damp sponge. If white spots persist, wet the sponge with a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water and wipe the grates again.
• When replacing the grates on the cooktop, be sure to locate them correctly. Grates should fit securely into the cooktop.
