Cooking Modes
Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.
Bake
The bake mode is for baking and roasting. This mode uses heat only from the lower burner. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies and pastries, always preheat the oven first. To use this mode, press the Bake pad, use the + and - pads to adjust the temperature, then press Start.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the oven door and drawer closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on the upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil burner increases smoking. spattering. and the possibility of fats igniting
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil burner when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a lower rack position or by using the Broil Lo mode.
Broil Compartment (on some models)
For better searing use the rack position that places food closest to the broil heater. Move food down for more doneness/less searing. Take care not to touch the inner door when placing and removing food in broil compartment.
Broil Hi
The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper burner to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of meat and/or when you would like to have a seared surface and rare interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Broil Lo
The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper burner to cook food thoroughly while also browning the surface. Use Broil Lo 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. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Convection Bake (on some models)
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. Always preheat 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, use the + and - pads to adjust the temperature, and then press Start. Always preheat when using this mode.
Cookware
Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily 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.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents ( air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to keep cool and operate properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range.
Vent appearance and location vary
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.
NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for faster preheat, improved efficiency and optimal cooking performance.
Range – Exterior
Control Lockout
If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning.
See Lock Controls in the Oven Controls section in this manual.
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, 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.
Range – Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using the Steam Clean or the Self Clean mode.
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.
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.
Steam Clean Mode (on some models)
The Steam Clean feature is for cleaning light soil from your oven at a lower temperature than Self Clean.
To use the Steam Clean feature:
- Start with the oven at room temperature.
- Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven.
- Pour one cup of water onto the bottom of the oven.
- Close the door.
- Press the Clean pad. select Steam Clean and then press Start/Enter. 30 minutes will show and count down in the display in the Steam Clean mode.
If your range has the self clean mode below, slide the door latch handle to the left as far as it will go. Do not open the door during the 30 minutes Steam Clean cycle. At the end of the Steam Clean cycle, soak up the remaining water, and wipe the moisture-softened soil from the oven walls and door.
Cooktop
Removal of Surface Burners for Cleaning
Turn all controls OFF. Allow cooktop to cool before removing grates and burner parts. When removing the burner caps and heads, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning.
CAUTION Do not attempt to remove oval burner cap from burner head.
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.
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.
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the burner head is removed. When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on.
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 ¼-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.
Your ovens 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 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 grate(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.
Grate Support Bumpers (on some models)
To insert the new bumpers, simply place the coneshaped end of the bumper into the hole in the cooktop and push down while gently twisting the bumper.
Griddles (on some models)
Nonstick Aluminum Griddle: Avoid scraping the griddle surface with metal utensils. Wash your griddle with dish soap and hot water. If necessary, scrub with a nonabrasive plastic pad.
Griddle Precautions:
- If something has spilled under the griddle, it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent the spill from getting baked onto the cooktop.
- Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle with hot, soapy water as soon as it is cool.
- Do not wash your griddle in the dishwasher.
- Do not clean the griddle in the self-cleaning oven.
Removable Storage Drawer (on some models)
The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics or flammable material in the drawer.
The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under the range. Clean the storage drawer with a damp cloth or sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or scouring pads.
Removing the Storage Drawer:
1. Pull drawer straight out until it stops.
2. Tilt the front of the drawer upward and pull the drawer free of the range.
Replacing the Storage Drawer:
- Rest the drawer slides on the range stops.
- Push directly backward until the drawer drops into
- Slide the drawer all the way into the oven.
The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under the range.
Oven Light
NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only when cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Let the bulb cool completely before removing it. For your safety do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If you do the bulb may break.
To remove:
Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the socket and pull the cover off. Remove the bulb.
To replace:
Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb. Place the tabs of the glass cover into the grooves of the socket. Turn the glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.
NOTE:
- A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than household bulb.
- Reconnect electrical power to the oven once the new bulb is installed.
- For improved lighting inside the oven, clean the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth. This should be done when the oven is completely cool.
Troubleshooting Tips
My new oven doesn't cook like my old one. Is something wrong with the temperature settings?
- Your new oven has a different cooking system from your old oven and therefore may cook differently than your old oven.
For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully and use rack positions recommended in the Cooking Guide. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking preference. See the Oven Controls section.
