KEY USAGE TIPS

AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology

AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology is a first-of-its-kind cleaning solution designed to minimize the time, temperature, and odors that ordinarily come with traditional self-cleaning methods. With AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology, an exclusive coating on the interior of the oven, is activated with heat and water to release baked-on soil. To use AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology, simply wipe out loose debris, pour water into the oven bottom, and run the AquaLift® Self-Cleaning cycle. When the cycle finishes in under 1 hour at a lower temperature than in traditional self-cleaning methods, just wipe out the remaining water and loose debris. See the “Clean Cycle” section for more detailed instructions.

Surface Temperatures

When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot, such as the knobs and oven door.

Baking Drawer (On Some Models)

When the oven is in use, the drawer may become hot. Do not store plastics, cloth, or other items that could melt or burn in the drawer.

Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Preheating

When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Surface Burners

The burner bases and caps must be properly positioned before cooking. Your range comes with 3 sizes of burners and caps. Each round burner base is marked with a letter indicating the burner size. Align the burner bases as shown in the following illustration:

A. Small (S)

B. Large (L)

C. Medium (M)

D. Large (L)

Align the gas tube opening in the burner base with the orifice holder on the cooktop and the igniter electrode with the notch in the burner base.

A. Burner cap

B. Gas tube opening

C. Burner base

D. Igniter electrode

E. Orifice holder

Place the burner caps on the appropriate burner bases. Each round burner cap is marked with a letter indicating the burner size.

Burner caps should be level when properly positioned. If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners will not light. The burner cap should not rock or wobble when properly aligned.

NOTE: Each round burner cap is marked with a letter indicating the burner size.

6. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap alignment. If the burner still does not light, turn off the burner. Do not service the burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

Surface Grates

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the proper position, the grates should be flush and level. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping or scratching of the cooktop. To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with the indentations in the cooktop.

The surface grates interlock using the hook on one end of the grate and the indent on the other. To remove the grates, lift the rear of the left grate off the hook, and then lift the front of the right grate off the hook and pull apart. To replace the grates, replace the left grate first. Place the front indent of the right grate over the hook of the left grate, and then lift the rear of the left grate and place the indent over the hook on the right grate.

Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the gas flame.

Burner Size

Select a burner that best fits your cookware. See the following illustration and chart.

Griddle

To Use the Griddle:

1. Locate the griddle on the right side grate, as shown. The locating feet on the bottom of the griddle will engage the grate tines to keep the griddle from sliding.
2. Before each use, brush on a thin layer of cooking oil to keep food from sticking. Cooking sprays may leave a sticky residue on the griddle that is hard to remove.
3. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes. Preheating the griddle slowly will ensure even heat distribution and will avoid warping the griddle.
4. For preheating and cooking, set the front burner to the lowest heat setting and the rear burner to medium-high heat for best performance.

NOTE: The griddle may also be used on the left side grate. For best results, the rear burner setting should be set to MediumLow or Medium, and the front burner setting should be set to Low.

To Clean the Griddle:

1. Let the griddle cool, and then empty the drip tray.
2. See the “General Cleaning” section for cleaning instructions.
3. Store griddle in a cool dry place.

Downdraft Ventilation System

The built-in downdraft ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.

IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, operate the downdraft ventilation system with the filter properly installed.

To avoid the buildup of grease, the filter should be cleaned often.

For more information on proper filter placement and cleaning, see Downdraft Ventilation System” in the “General Cleaning” section.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or coils. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the surfaces.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.

Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not extend more than 1 /2" (1.3 cm) outside the area.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

• Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
• Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
• For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office, or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

OVEN

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off by the oven. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.

For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

■ Position racks before turning on the oven.

■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.

■ Make sure racks are level.

To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as guides.

The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following table.

For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately 21 /2 to 31 /2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

*If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, the recessed ends must be placed in the rack position above the desired position of the food. See the following illustration.

IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as shown in the previous figure.

Multiple Rack Cooking

2-rack (non-convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.

2-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.

3-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 7 and a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 5.

Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on 2 Racks

Baking Layer Cakes

For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use the Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 3 and a roll-out rack in rack position 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 3" (7.6 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front cakes.

Baking Cookies

For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use the Convection Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 3 and a roll-out rack in rack position 4.

NOTE: No tones will sound while deactivating Sabbath mode.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating

When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Oven Temperature

While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.

NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.

Temperature Management System

The Temperature Management 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 or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during Bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in, unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Steam Bake

The Steam Bake function works in conjunction with the steam rack to provide additional moisture during baking. The steam rack contains a water reservoir which heats up and releases steam into the oven cavity during the Steam Bake cycle. There are 3 preprogrammed food options to choose from: Breads, Desserts, and Fish as well as a Refresh/Reheat option.

For best performance, place the steam rack in the lowest available rack position in the cavity and pour 11/2 cups (350 mL) of water into the reservoir. Do not fill past the MAX level indicated on the reservoir.

After the Steam Bake cycle is complete, some water may remain in the reservoir. This is normal. Wait for the oven to cool and discard the water.

Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting food in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.

IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use rack 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.

On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.

■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See the “Accessories” section.

Convection Cooking

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.

During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil, and convection elements cycle on and off in intervals while the fan circulates the hot air. During convection broiling, the broil and convection elements cycle on and off.

If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed.

With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature and/or a shorter cooking time than in a standard thermal oven. Depending upon the selected cooking mode, EasyConvect™ conversion can automatically reduce the standard recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking. If you choose not to use the EasyConvect™ conversion, use the following table as a guide.

Convect Options

Convect Bake - multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads, casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes

Convect Roast - whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork roasts, beef roasts

Convect Broil - thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, or poultry

Proofing Bread

Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Proof should be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first and second rise.

To Proof:

Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place on rack guide 2 and close the oven door

6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of the initial 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL])of water will remain in the oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils remain, leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom to assist with the cleaning.

7. If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch scrubbing sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Clean cycles may be run to help remove the stubborn soils.

IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of chemicals, including commercial oven cleaners or metal scouring pads, may cause permanent damage to the porcelain surface of the oven interior.

NOTES:

■ The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface of the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the beginning of the Clean cycle.

■ For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.

■ Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at the end of the Clean cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel between the lower edge of the oven door and the front frame to keep water from spilling onto the front of the range and the floor.

■ Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more difficult to remove with the Clean cycle.

■ Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser-style cleaning pads (without cleaners) can be effective for cleaning the oven cavity walls, oven door, and oven bottom for difficult soils. For best results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.

■ Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils.

■ affresh® Kitchen Appliance Cleaner and affresh® Cooktop Cleaner may be used to clean the oven bottom, walls, and door when the oven has finished the cycle and returned to room temperature. If affresh® Cooktop Cleaner is used, it is recommended to wipe out the cavity with distilled water as well. Refer to the “Accessories” section for information on ordering.

■ Additional AquaLift® Technology Cleaning Kits may be obtained by ordering Part Number W10423113RP. See the “Accessories” section for more information.

General Cleaning

Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first, unless otherwise noted.

EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some models)

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

Cleaning Method:

■ Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner, or nonabrasive scrubbing pad: Gently clean around the model/serial/rating plate because scrubbing may remove numbers.

■ affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See the “Accessories” section for more information.

STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)

NOTE: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Cleaner, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or abrasive paper towels. Damage may occur to stainless steel surfaces, even with one-time or limited use.

PORCELAIN-COATED GRATES AND CAPS

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates and caps are cool. These spills may affect the finish.

To avoid chipping, do not bang grates and caps against each other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware. Do not reassemble caps on burners while wet.

Cleaning Method:

■ Nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive cleanser: Clean as soon as cooktop, grates and caps are cool.

■ Dishwasher (grates only, not caps): Use the most aggressive cycle. Cooked-on soils should be soaked or scrubbed before going into a dishwasher. Although the burner grates are durable, they may lose their shine and/or discolor when washed in a dishwasher.

■ Gas Grate and Drip Pan Cleaner Part Number 31617 (not included): See the “Accessories” section for more information.

SURFACE BURNERS

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates and caps are cool. These spills may affect the finish.

Cleaning Method:

■ Glass cleaner and soft cloth or sponge: Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on panel.

■ affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See the “Accessories” section for more information.

OVEN RACKS

Cleaning Method:

■ Steel-wool pad

■ For racks that have discolored and are harder to slide, a light coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help them slide.

■ Dishwasher (steam rack water reservoir only, not racks): Although the water reservoir is durable, it may lose its shine and/or discolor when washed in a dishwasher.

OVEN CAVITY

Use AquaLift® Technology regularly to clean oven spills. Do not use oven cleaners. Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result.

Cleaning Method:

■ Clean cycle: See the “Clean Cycle” section first.

DOWNDRAFT VENTILATION SYSTEM

Vent Grate

Cleaning Method:

■ Remove the burner grates.

■ Lift the vent grate off the cooktop.

■ Wipe clean or wash in sink: Nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive cleanser

■ Dishwasher: Use mild detergent.

Filter

The filter is a permanent type and should be cleaned when soiled.

Cleaning Method:

■ Turn off the downdraft ventilation system before removing the filter.

■ Remove vent grate, and then lift the filter out of the vent chamber.

■ Clean the filter in the sink with warm water and detergent or in the dishwasher.

■ Replace the filter. The filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face the front of the range, the top of the filter should rest against the right side of the vent opening. The bottom of the filter should rest against the left side of the vent chamber at the bottom. If the filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness will be reduced.

Ventilation Chamber

The ventilation chamber, which houses the filter, should be cleaned in the event of spills or when it becomes coated with a film of grease.

Cleaning Method:

■ Mild household detergent or cleanser and paper towel, damp cloth or sponge: Apply detergent or cleanser to paper towel, damp cloth or sponge, not directly to the ventilation chamber.
