Cooktop
WARNING Fire Hazard Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan. Turn off all controls when not cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to IGNITE. Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate.
To Set:
- 1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to IGNITE will produce a flame.
- 2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW.
REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
Power Failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner, and then turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. After burner lights, turn knob to desired setting.
Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover, and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.
NOTE: Each round burner cap is marked with a letter indicating the burner size.
Alignment: Be sure to 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.
NOTE: Each round burner base is marked with a letter indicating the burner size.
A. Burner cap
B. Gas tube opening
C. Burner base
D. Igniter electrode
E. Orifice holder
Gas Tube Opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil, and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube opening by always using a burner cap.
Burner Ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil, and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
To Clean:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
- Remove the burner cap and the burner base and clean according to the “General Cleaning” section.
- Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
- Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist.
4. Replace the burner base. Each round burner base is marked with a letter indicating the burner size. See the following illustration for burner positions:
A. Small (S)
B. Large (L)
C. Medium (M)
D. Large (L)
5. Replace the burner cap, making sure it is properly aligned with the burner base. The burner cap should not rock or wobble when properly aligned.
IMPORTANT: The bottom of the small and medium caps are different. Do not put the wrong size burner cap on the burner base.
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 hooks on the middle grate and the indents on the end grates. To remove the grates, remove the end grates first, and then remove the middle grate. To replace the grates, replace the middle grate first, and then place the end grates on either side.
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.
Burner Size | Recommended Use | |
Small |
■ Low-heat cooking ■ Melting chocolate or butter |
|
Medium | ■ Multipurpose burner | |
Large | ■ For large cookware | |
Large (most powerful) |
■ For large cookware ■ Most powerful burner |
Griddle
To Use the Griddle:
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes. Preheating the griddle slowly will ensure even heat distribution and will avoid warping the griddle.
- 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:
- Let the griddle cool, and then empty the drip tray.
- See the “General Cleaning” section for cleaning instructions.
- Store griddle in a cool dry place.
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.
Cookware | Characteristics |
Aluminum |
■ Heats quickly and evenly . ■ Suitable for all types of cooking. ■ Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks. ■ May leave aluminum residues, which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking. |
Cast iron |
■ Heats slowly and evenly. ■ Good for browning and frying. ■ Maintains heat for slow cooking. ■ Rough edges or burrs may scratch the cooktop. |
Ceramic or Ceramic glass |
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions ■ Heats slowly, but unevenly. ■ Ideal results on low to medium heat settings. ■ May scratch the cooktop. |
Copper |
■ Heats very quickly and evenly. ■ May leave copper residues, which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking. ■ Can leave a permanent stain or bond to the cooktop if overheated |
Earthenware |
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions. ■ Use on low heat settings. ■ May scratch the cooktop. |
Porcelain enamel-onsteel or cast iron |
■ See stainless steel or cast iron. ■ Porcelain enamel bakeware without the metal base may bond to the cooktop if overheated. |
Stainless steel |
■ Heats quickly, but unevenly. ■ A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating. |
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 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.
Flat Rack Position* | Type of Food | |
7 | Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers, steaks | |
6 | Broiled meats, poultry, fish | |
3 or 4 | Most baked goods, casseroles, frozen foods | |
2 | Roasted meats | |
1 | Large roasts or poultry |
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.
Sabbath Mode
The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting until turned off.
When the Sabbath mode is set, only the Bake cycle will operate. All other cooking and cleaning cycles are disabled. No tones will sound and the displays will not indicate temperature changes.
When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off immediately.

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.
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 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. When using Manual Convect Modes, reduce the time and temperature when setting the oven. Use the following chart as a guide.
Convection Mode | Time/Temperature Guidelines | |
Convection Bake | 25°F (15°C) lower temperature, possible shortened cooking time | |
Convection Roast | Cooking time shortened by up to 30% | |
Convection Broil | Shortened cooking time |
When using Auto Convect Modes, the oven will automatically adjust the time and temperature for the selected mode.
Convect Modes
Manual Convect Modes:
Convect Bake - multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads, casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes
Convect Roast - whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork roasts, beef roasts

Range Care
Clean Cycle
AquaLift® Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odorfree alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), “Oven Cooling” will appear in the display and the Clean cycle will not be activated until the oven cavity cools down.
To Clean:
1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity and wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easily removed soils.
2. Pour 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of distilled or filtered water onto the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean cycle. The water on the oven bottom is hot.
3. Press AQUALIFT SELF CLEAN and then START on the oven control panel.
4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cooldown. A beep will sound when the Self-Cleaning cycle is complete.
5. Press CANCEL at the end of the cycle. Cancel may be pressed at any time to stop the Clean cycle.
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.
