Setting Bake

Bake cooks with heat that rises from the oven bottom. The heat and air circulate naturally in the oven. The oven indicator light above the BAKE key will remain on until oven is preheated. During baking the oven indicator light will turn on and off as the oven cycles to maintain set temperature. Follow baking recommendations for best results.

The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170°F to 500°F (77°C to 260°C). The factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).

For best bake results:

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads.
• Use rack position 3 when baking most items on a single oven rack.
• When baking a layer cake using a single oven rack, use rack position 4.
• When baking using two oven racks, position cookware to allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between cookware for proper air circulation.
• For best results when baking layer cakes using 2 oven racks, place bakeware on rack positions 3 and 6 See Figure 13.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods.
• Dark pans are recommended for pies; shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins
• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.
• Do not leave oven light on while baking.

Setting Broil

Setting Broil Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. Watch food to prevent burning. When broiling always remember to arrange the oven racks while oven is still cool. This unit has an electric broil feature.

WARNING Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a Class B/C fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

CAUTION Always use oven mitts. Oven racks will become very hot which can cause burns.

Broiling tips:

• If using broil pan and insert, place insert on broil pan. Place on oven rack, preheat on broil HI for 5 minutes before placing food on insert. Broil with the oven door closed.
• Always use the broiler pan with the insert when broiling. It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the high heat of the broil element. Do not use the pan without the insert.
• Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
• Do not cover the broil pan insert with aluminum foil. The exposed grease could catch fire. Do not use a roasting rack when broiling.

To set broil:

1. Arrange the oven rack while oven is still cool.
2. Press broil. The display will show — —.
3. Press for HI broil or for LO broil. Most foods may be broiled at the HI broil setting.
4. For optimum results, preheat pan using Broil HI for 5 minutes before placing food on pan.
5. Boil with the oven door closed.
6. Broil on one side until food is browned. Turn and broil food on the other side.

When broiling is finished press OFF.

Adjusting the oven temperature

Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommendations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you can adjust the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the temperature displayed.

Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40 degrees from actual temperatures.

To adjust oven temperature:

1. Press and hold the Bake key and release when the display shows the factory temperature setting of 00. If the oven temperature has been previously adjusted from the factory setting, the last adjusted value will appear in the display instead.
2. The temperature can now be adjusted up +35°F (+19 °C), in 5°F increments with each press of the key.
3. When lowering the oven temperature using the key, minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of degrees.
4. To accept the change, wait for the oven control to provide an acceptance beep.

NOTE

Oven temperature adjustments made will not affect the Broil temperatures.

If the display is set for Celsius, adjustments made will be in 1°C increments each press of arrow keys.

If at any time during the process of adjusting the oven temperature feature you decide not to make the change, press the OFF key once before the acceptance beep.

CARE AND CLEANING

Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible.

Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later.

CAUTION

• Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is cool.
• If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used, they must be removed and the appliance must be thoroughly rinsed before operating. Follow manufacturer's instructions and provide adequate ventilation.

Aluminum Foil and Utensils

WARNING Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

WARNING Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

Cleaning the sealed burners

IMPORTANT

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface burners under any circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, the utensil will be damaged or destroyed.

To avoid possible burns, do not attempt cleaning before turning off all surface burners and allowing them to cool.

Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized qualified Agency. Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame

To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop:

• If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth.
• Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

CAUTION

• To avoid possible burns do not attempt to operate the surface burners without the burner caps.
• Do not use spray oven cleaner on the cooktop.

To clean burner heads:

1. Remove the burner cap from the burner head (see Figure 18). Clean the cap with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Figure 18: Burner Cap

2. For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy water to the burner head. Allow time for the soils to soften.

Figure 19: Sealed burner components

3. Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner head (see Figure 19).

4. Use the toothbrush to clean the slots and holes in the burner (see Figure 19).

5. Use a needle or fine wire to clean out the ignition port see Figure 19).

6. Wipe the burner head clean with a soft, clean cloth, sponge, or scratch-free cleaning pad.

7. Before using the cooktop again, make sure the burner caps are properly placed and seated on the burner heads. When placed correctly, the burner cap is centered on the burner head and will click into place on the burner head. You can wiggle the cap to test placement, it should not move off the burner head.

Important notes:

• The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and must be cleaned in place on the cooktop.
• Always keep the surface burner caps in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
• When replacing the burner caps, be sure the burner caps are seated firmly on top of the burner heads.
• For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas orifice port opening.
