USING THE RANGE

Features of Your Range

Design information

Cooktop Controls

Electronic Ignition and Automatic Reignition

The range is equipped with electronic ignition which eliminates the need for a standing pilot light. The burners on this range will automatically relight if the flame goes out. All surface burner igniters will spark and make clicking sounds when any burner is turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when igniters are clicking. Occasionally the burners may spark if excess wind or a draft blows the flame away from the burner’s flame sensor.

In case of a power outage, you can light the surface burners on your cooktop with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LOW position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.

Do not attempt to light the griddle during a power outage. The gas to these burners will automatically shut off during a power outage.

To Light a Surface Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the LITE position

After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise, as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

  • Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Dual-flame Stacked Burners

All surface burners on your range have two sets of flames stacked one on top of the other; the dual-flame burners have a lower (simmer) flame and a upper (main) flame. When a burner is turned on, the lower flame will always light and stay on.

Simmering:

The stacked burner design provides a wide range of heat settings with which to simmer. Depending on the type and quantity of food, and pan size, the flame can be adjusted to suit your specific need. The lowest setting uses only the lower flame and can maintain delicate foods at a safe 140°F.

Cooking:

Settings from LO to X-HI will use both upper and lower flames. Use LO to HI for all purpose cooking. Use HI or X-HI (highest setting) with larger diameter cookware.
X-HI and HI are very high heat settings and are intended to sear foods quickly and boil large quantities of water.

Surface Cooking

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you increase or reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using. FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE, NEVER /(77+()/$0((;7(1'837+(6,'(62)7+( COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating and could be hazardous.

For surface stability, 6” minimum diameter cookware is recommended. Use larger diameter cookware for heat settings between HI and X-HI.

Wok Cooking

The burner grates are uniquely designed to cook on either side. The flat side accommodates flat-bottom cookware (stockpots, saucepans, frying pans, and flat-bottom woks), while the wok side is designed to hold a wide variety of round bottom works without the need for a separate ring.
For easy access, a front burner location is recommended for wok cooking.
The front center burner is recommended for wok cooking
on 6-burner 36" and 48" ranges.
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.

Griddle Safety Precautions, Leveling (on some models)

Remove the metal cover and the cutting board before turning the griddle on. The griddle assembly should not be removed for cleaning. Once the unit is in position, the griddle can be leveled. Remove the flue cover by lifting it straight up. Be careful not to scratch the surrounding stainless steel surfaces during removal of the flue cover. The two inner screws are clamping screws for securing the griddle in place. Loosen these two screws before leveling. Do not remove these two screws. The two outer screws are leveling screws. Do not remove these two screws. They can be turned to level the griddle or to provide a forward slope to help grease and oils to drain away from the food being cooked. After the first few uses, you will be able to judge the slope best suited for the foods you are cooking and personal preference.

After leveling the griddle, tighten the clamping screws to secure the griddle in place. Hand-tighten screws; do not over-tighten

Using the Griddle

Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot soapy water before first use and after subsequent uses. The griddle surface is made of durable, highly polished Type 304 stainless steel backed by an aluminum plate for even heat distribution. Apply a light coating of cooking oil to the griddle surface to help prevent food from sticking.
To heat the griddle, push in and turn the control knob to the desired temperature setting. The light on the bezel will glow to indicate that the thermostat control is working. The griddle is thermostatically controlled and
can be set to maintain any temperature from 200°F to 450°F. Permit the griddle to preheat for 10 minutes before placing food on it.

NOTE: Unlike the surface burners which use spark igniters, the griddle uses a Glo-Bar for ignition. Gas flows to the griddle burner and ignition occur approximately 45 seconds after the control knob is turned to a set temperature.

Baking Tips

Rear Oven Vents

An internal cooling fan operates during all oven modes. The warm air from the oven is exhausted through vents located at the rear of the cooktop. Do not allow the airflow from the rear vents to be obstructed by cookware or towels.

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

CAUTION : Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke, or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Baking Pans/Sheets

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan effects the amount of browning that will occur.

  • Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a
  • Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking in
    browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies. glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be
  • Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting in reduced by 25 F. a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies
    require this type of pan or sheet

Preheating

Allow the oven to preheat before placing food in the
oven. Preheating is necessary for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastries, and bread.

Oven Racks

Full Extension Oven Racks

CAUTION : To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the correct position before turning on the oven. The correct rack position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired.

The racks have a frame that locks into the rack supports on both sides. Once the frame is locked into place, always pull the rack out, by its upper front rail, to its full extension stop position, when placing or removing cookware

Remove and Replace Oven Racks

To remove a rack:

1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven.
2. Grasp the rack by both its upper front rail and its lower front rail and lift straight up to unlock the front rack locks from the rack supports

3. Firmly holding onto both the upper and lower front rack rails, pull the rack forward and remove it from the oven.

To replace a rack:

1. Place the rear rack locks over and onto the rack supports (five rack positions are available including the top position).

2. Slide the rack all the way in until the rear rack locks are secure on the rear rack supports and press the front rack locks onto the front rack supports

3. Pull the rack all the way out to check that it is properly engaged.

Low Profile Oven Rack

The low-profile oven rack is designed for optimized performance when baking or broiling certain foods in your Professional All-Gas range. It can also be used as a normal oven rack with the full extension oven racks as well.

Please refer to the oven rack position table for your bake/broil/convection mode for details as to location and rack type for the best performance.

Baking

How to Set the Oven for Baking

1. Turn the Oven Mode Selector to BAKE.
2. Using the Temperature knob, set the desired temperature, in 25°F increments, from 175°F to 550°F.
The oven will now begin to preheat. The temperature display will begin at 100°F and remain there until the oven exceeds that temperature. From that point, the display will show the actual temperature.
The interior lights will turn on and stay on until the oven is turned off. The convection oven fan will turn on temporarily during preheat. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and food can now be placed inside the oven.

3. Turn the Oven Mode Selector and the Temperature knob to OFF when baking is finished.
NOTE: A cooling fan will turn on to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
Use the temperature probe when a precise internal temperature is important. See Using the probe.


For best results when baking four cake layers at one time, place four pans on one shelf using the center
position C. Place the pans so each has at least 1-1/2” air space around it.

Or, place four pans using racks B and D. Stagger the pans so that one pan is not directly above another as shown above. The oven has 5 rack positions. See the Full extension oven racks section for how to use, remove and replace the racks. The double oven range has a small oven with 4 rack positions. Rack position C is not in the small oven.

Suggested shelf positions are intended as general guidelines. Experiment with these positions for specific foods and personal preference.

Broiling

Introduction to Broiling

The broil mode has 2 settings. Choose HI or LO setting.

  • The HI setting can be used to seal in juices or provide intense browning or charring when needed for foods such as hamburgers, roasted vegetables, whole peppers, eggplant, corn, assorted cut vegetables, kabobs and very thin meats such as smoked pork chops, London broil and chicken.
  • The LO setting can be used for foods that need adequate browning and also need to be thoroughly cooked, like fish fillets, pork tenderloin and beef roast.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

1. Turn the Oven Mode Selector to BROIL
2. Turn the Oven Temperature Knob to LO BROIL or HI BROIL. LO or HI will appear in the display.

NOTE: Always broil with the door closed. If the door is left open, the display will scroll “CLOSE door” and the elements will not turn on until the door is shut.
The oven interior lights will turn on and stay on until the oven is turned off.
3. When broiling is finished, turn the Oven Mode Selector and the Temperature knob to OFF.

NOTE:

  • A cooling fan will turn on to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
  • Broil will not work if the temperature probe is plugged in. Never leave your probe inside the oven during a broil cycle.

Broiling Guide

Due to the variety of of meats and cuts available, you may select alternate rack positions based on personal preferences of doneness and external searing. For
optimal searing, preheat oven for 5-10 minutes.
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

NOTE: In general, higher rack positions yield darker external searing and lower positions yield more doneness.

Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Convection Baking or Roasting

Introduction to Convection Cooking

The reverse-air convection system fan periodically pauses, then changes direction to best distribute hot air throughout the oven. As a result, foods are evenly cooked
and browned—often in less time with convection heat.
NOTE: The convection fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Cookware used in standard BAKE will also work in CONV BAKE. See Baking Tips section.

It is recommended that when baking cookies, the best results are attained with a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with sides. For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

Adapting Recipes

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven. When convection baking, it may be necessary to reduce the baking temperature by 25°F or to adjust the cooking time. No temperature adjustment is necessary when using CONV ROAST

Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package.

Convection Roasting Tips

Use the broiler pan, grid and the roasting rack for best results. Use of the rack will result in improved browning on the underside of meat or poultry.

1. Place the oven rack on a low rack position (A).
2. Place the grid on the broiler pan and put the roasting rack over them.
3. Place meat on the roasting rack.

Optional Accessories

How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting

Convection Baking is ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on single or multiple racks. Select Convection Roast to roast large, tender cuts of meat uncovered. When set on CONV BAKE or CONV ROAST, the rear convection elements and the fan operate when the oven is heating

1. Turn the Oven Mode Selector to CONV BAKE or CONV ROAST.
2. Using the Temperature knob, set the desired temperature, in 25°F increments, from 175°F to 550°F.

The oven will now begin to preheat. The temperature display will begin at 100°F and remain there until the oven exceeds that temperature. From that point, the display will show the actual temperature.

Suggested shelf positions are intended as general guidelines. Experiment with these positions for specific foods and personal preference.

The interior lights will turn on and stay on until the oven is turned off. The convection oven fan will turn on during preheat. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and food can be placed inside the oven.

3. Turn the Oven Mode Selector and the Temperature knob to OFF when convection cooking is finished.
NOTE: A cooling fan will turn on to cool internal parts.
This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even
after the oven is turned off.

Use the temperature probe when a precise internal temperature is important. See Using the probe.

The oven has 5 rack positions. See the Full extension oven racks section for how to use, remove and replace the racks.
The double-oven range has a small oven with 4 rack positions. Rack position C is not in the small oven.

Probe

How to Use the Probe with Bake, Convection Bake and Convection Roast

CAUTION : Use oven mitts when inserting or removing the probe from the hot oven.

Areas around the probe inlet can be very hot.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
The probe can be used with the BAKE, CONV BAKE and CONV ROAST.

1. Push the tip of the probe into the thickest part of the meat.
2. Place the rack in the desired rack position.
3. Set the oven controls. Turn the Oven Mode Selector to CONV BAKE, CONV ROAST or BAKE. Turn the Temperature Knob to desired oven temperature in
25°F increments, from 175°F to 550°F. Allow the oven to preheat if necessary.
The oven and oven lights will turn on immediately and stay on until the oven is turned off.
4. Use oven mitts to place the food in the hot oven.
Insert the plug into the outlet. Make sure it is pushed all the way in. Close the oven door.
5. Turn the Mini-Knob to find the desired internal food temperature. Push the Mini-Knob to select that temperature.

The word PROBE and SET, will flash in the display until a temperature is selected. If no temperature is
set, the probe will default to 100°F. If the oven was not preheated, the display will show LO.
The internal food temperature can be set from a
minimum of 100°F and up to 200°F maximum.
When food reaches the set internal temperature, the display will beep. To stop the reminder beep, turn the Oven Mode Selector and the Temperature Knob to OFF.
Use oven mitts to remove the probe from the oven outlet.
To change the set internal temperature anytime in the cooking process, push the Mini-Knob and turn to adjust the temperature. Press the Mini-Knob to select.

Using the Probe

Use only the probe provided with the range.
Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and oven outlet.

  • To avoid damaging the probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
  • To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting.
  • To prevent possible burns, always wear an oven mitt when removing the plug; internal oven surfaces may be hot.
  • Never leave the probe inside the oven during a broil or self-cleaning cycle.
  • Do not store the probe in the oven.

Proper placement of the probe

  • Measure the distance to the center of a roast by laying the temperature probe on top of the meat. Use your thumb and forefinger to mark where the edge of the meat will come on the probe.
  • Insert the probe up to the point marked with your finger. The tip of the probe should be in the center of the meat.

Proofing

How to Set the Oven for Proofing

The proofing feature maintains a warm environment which is useful for rising yeast-leavened dough.
1. Turn the Oven Mode Selector to PROOF. The display will show “PrF”. PROOF mode will not operate when oven is above 125°F. The display will scroll “too hot”. Allow the oven time to cool.
For best results, cover the dough with a cloth or with greased plastic wrap.
Use rack position B or C in the large oven. Use rack position B in the small oven.
The proofing feature automatically provides the optimum temperature for the proofing process; therefore the Temperature knob does not affect the proof temperature.
The oven interior lights cycle on and off as necessary to maintain optimum proof temperature until the Oven Mode Selector has been turned to OFF.

  • To avoid lowering the oven temperature and lengthening proofing time, do not open the oven door unnecessarily.
  • Check bread products early to avoid over-proofing.

2. When proofing is finished, turn the Oven Mode Selector to OFF

Self-Cleaning Oven

Self-cleaning Safety Precautions

The self-clean oven feature is designed to make cleaning the inside of the oven easy by using very high temperatures to burn away food spills

WARNING : Wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a damp cloth. Excessive food soils can ignite leading to smoke and heat damage.

  • Do not clean the oven seals, damage can occur.
  • Remove cookware, broiler pan, grid, probe and any aluminum foil from the oven.
  • Make sure the oven light lens and lens frame are in place.
  • Do not use commercial oven cleaners, abrasives or oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
  • We recommend venting your kitchen with an open
    window or using a ventilation fan/hood during the selfclean cycle.
  • Clean soil from around the frame and from around the oven door, outside the oven seals. These areas must be cleaned by hand.
  • The oven racks may be left in the oven during the selfclean cycle.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the selfcleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds to another wellventilated room.

NOTE: During the self-clean cycle, the cooktop will be locked out and not functional. If a surface burner is turned on after the self-clean cycle has begun, a warning will be displayed on the Oven Display “err turn surf frnr off” and a beeping sound will be heard.

NOTE: Self-Clean will not work if the temperature probe is plugged in or if the Sabbath mode is set.

On double oven models, you can set a clean cycle in both ovens at the same time. The last oven set will automatically delay its start until the end of the first oven’s clean cycle.

On double oven models, you can bake in one oven and self-clean in the other at the same time. However, you cannot use the PROOF mode setting in one oven while the other oven is self-cleaning

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

1. Turn off all surface burners. (The CLEAN cycle will not start until all surface burners have been turned off.)
2. Turn the Oven Mode Selector to CLEAN.

Replacement bulbs may be purchased by calling 800.626.2002. Order Part Number WB25T10064

NOTE: Higher-wattage bulbs will damage your oven. Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb from its packaging. Do not touch the bulb with bare fingers. Oil from bare fingers may cause hot spots on the glass surface and lead to premature failure of the bulb. If you do touch the glass, clean it with alcohol prior to installation.

1. Push the bulb straight into the receptacle all the way

2. Replace the light cover, by placing its front edge under the front two tabs in the light compartment. Roll the back edge into place, making sure that it is firmly seated.
NOTE: If the locking clips fell from the glass lens cover, hold them on the cover, in the correct position, while replacing the cover on the light compartment.

The light cover must be in place when using the oven.

3. Reinstall the rack support. Be sure to orient the support so that the top tabs for the nuts are closest to the top of the oven. Lightly secure with the four nuts removed earlier, but do not over-tighten or the enamel could be chipped.

4. Replace the racks. See the Full extension oven racks section.
5. Reconnect electrical power to the oven.

Surfaces

Oven Door

The oven frame and door, outside the oven seals, should be cleaned by hand. Enameled surfaces should be cleaned with hot soapy water. See Stainless Steel Surfaces section for all Stainless Steel areas

Do not rub or clean the door seal—the fiberglass material of the seal has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven seal is essential for energy-efficient operation and good baking results. If the seal becomes worn, frayed, damaged or displaced it must be replaced by a qualified technician.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will permanently scratch the surface. To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner, please call our toll-free number, 800.626.2002

Oven bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers. A smaller sheet of foil or sheet tray may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on the rack below the rack you are cooking on. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods that are highly acidic. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately. Never fully cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse well to remove soap before self-cleaning.

Dual-flame Stacked Burners

The burner consists of three parts: the burner base, burner head, and burner cap. The burner head and burner cap can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.

CAUTION : DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE.
Surface burners should be cleaned routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog the slots and holes in the burner heads.
The electrode is located at the rear of each burner. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result.

To remove the burner parts:

1. Turn all controls OFF before removing any burner parts

2. When cool, you may lift off the burner grates, burner caps and burner heads for easier cleaning. Do not remove the burner bases.

Cleaning

Lift off burner parts only when cool. Wash in hot, soapy water. You may use a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for
20-30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a plastic scouring pad or toothbrush.
If the spill goes inside the burner head assembly, wash it under running water and shake to remove excess water.

After Cleaning

Before replacing the burner parts, shake out excess water and then dry them thoroughly.

To replace the burner parts:

Make sure that the burner parts are replaced in the correct location.

1. Replace the burner head on top of the burner base, making sure that the hole in the burner head is properly aligned with the electrode in the burner base. A small gap between the base and head is normal.
2. Place the burner cap on top of the burner head. Make sure that the burner cap is properly seated on the burner head.

Spark Igniter and Electrodes

The electrode of the electronic ignition system is positioned at the rear of the burner base. When cleaning the cooktop, be careful not to snag the igniter with your cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur. Be careful not to push in a control knob while cleaning. It could cause the igniter to spark. Make sure that the white ceramic igniters on the cooktop are dry and clean. Clean the metal portion of the electrode with a soft cloth or emery board. Do not attempt to remove the electrode from the cooktop.

Burner Grates

The enameled cast-iron burner grates should be cleaned regularly. You must put the grates on the self-clean oven rack during the self-clean cycle. DO NOT put the grate on the oven floor during a self-clean cycle. DO NOT put the frame inside the oven during a self-clean cycle. Only the grate can withstand the heat of the self-clean cycle. The frames may be cleaned by hand or in the dishwasher. Wash them in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Although they are durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures. Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

For stability, the frames have rubber pads on each corner. During cleaning and use, be careful not to damage or snag rubber pads.

Grease Troughs (on some models)

Grease from the griddle will drain into the enameled cast-iron grease troughs at the front of the range. Once the troughs have cooled, they may be lifted out for easier cleaning. To remove the cool grease trough from the griddle, slide it toward the front and lift up. Do not allow grease to accumulate in the grease troughs as it can be a fire hazard. Clean the grease troughs as soon as they are cool. The grease troughs can be cleaned by hand with hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Wipe any spillage in the trough basin with a soft cloth. For stability, the troughs have rubber pads at the front. Be careful not to damage the pads when removing for cleaning

Griddle (on some models)

Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and food particles, using a square-edged metal spatula, while it is still hot. Wipe the griddle with a dry, heavy, coarse cloth to remove any remaining residue and food particles. If the griddle is cleaned with anything other than a dry, heavy, coarse cloth, it will need to be reseasoned. Never flood the hot griddle with cold water. This could cause the griddle to crack or warp.

Cutting Board (on some models)

Wash the bamboo cutting board with warm water and a mild soap. Occasionally, wipe it with mineral oil. Do not clean the cutting board in the dishwasher.
