BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Assembly of the burner caps

Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations.

1. Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.

2. Make sure burner head and caps are properly placed on the surface burners.

Important: The burner head has a hole which fits over the ignitor. Make sure the head fits snugly before placing the burner caps.

Note: Unpack the burner grates and position them on the cooktop after the burner heads and caps are properly installed.

On round-style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure 1) should fit snug into the center of the burner head and rest level. Refer to Figure 2 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement.

Figure 1: Burner cap (A) burner head (B) ignitor (C) orifice (D)

Figure 2: Proper burner cap placement

CAUTION

• Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas orifice holder opening.
• Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in place whenever the surface burners are in use
• Never place flammable items on the cooktop

Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Figure 3) to be sure it is centered and firmly seated

Figure 3: Gently move cap for proper placement

IMPORTANT

Please note that the burner cap should not move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.

• Check and be sure that all oval-style burner caps (some models) are correctly in place on oval burner heads.
• Do not use the surface burners without the burner caps and heads properly installed. Improperly seated burner caps and heads may prevent burners from lighting or cause uneven flame and heating.
• Missing pieces or improper installation may lead to spills, burns, or damage to your range and cookware.
• Never place flammable items on the cooktop

Install burner grates

To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and align them into the cooktop recess.

Figure 4: Proper grate installation

IMPORTANT

• Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop before using the surface burners (Figure 4). The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.
• Grates should rest flush against each other and against the sides of the recess.
• Do not line the area underneath the grates or any part of the cooktop with aluminum foil or with any other lining.

NOTE

SCC message in display

If the cooktop is used during a self-clean cycle, the oven may turn off. The oven control display will show “SCC" for 5 seconds. The oven door will remain locked until the oven has cooled down below cleaning temperature. If the oven is below cleaning temperature, the user can start another clean cycle immediately. If the oven is in cleaning temperature range, another self-clean cycle can be set once the door unlocks (up to 4 hours).

Using Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figure 5 and Figure 6.

Figure 5: Testing cookware

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure 5). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Figure 6).

Flat bottom and straight sides. Tight fitting lids. Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced. Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared. Made of material that conducts heat well. Easy to clean.		Curved and warped pan bottoms. Pan overhangs grate by more Heavy handle tilts pan.than 1” (2.5 cm). Flame extends beyond pan

Figure 6: Proper cookware

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface burner to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting).
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See Aluminum).
• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.
• Glass - Slow heat conductor.

CAUTION Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

IMPORTANT Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the cooktop

CAUTION Do not straddle cookware over two burner areas unless the cookware is specifically designed for that purpose.

Gas surface burner types

The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quickly and in large amounts increases as the burner size increases.

• Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food.
• Standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.
• The largest burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The large burner is located at the right front position on the cooktop.

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and set the flame size appropriately for the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Setting surface controls

The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance may be equipped with many different sized surface burners.

It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate for the cookware size.

• The standard size burner or burners may be used for most surface cooking needs.
• Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food.
• Large burners are best for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature or heating larger quantities of food.

Setting a surface burner:

1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the burner grate.

2. Push the burner’s surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 7).

3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the burner has a steady gas flame.

4. Once the surface burner has a flame, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size setting. Adjust the flame as needed using the knob markings.

IMPORTANT

• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time unless the cookware is specifically designed for the purpose.
• DO NOT cook with a surface control knob left in the lite position ( ). The electronic ignitor will continue to spark. Turn the control knob out of the lite position and adjust the flame size.
• Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If items melt, they may permanently damage the appearance of the cooktop

CAUTION Do not place flammable items such as plastic wrappings, spoon holders, or plastic salt and pepper shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface burners.

Figure 7: Surface control knob

NOTE

• When setting a surface control knob to the lite position, all of the electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners may be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to lite. Once the burner ignites, push in and turn knob out of lite then to the desired flame setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually

Set proper burner flame size

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if flame is yellow-orange.

For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Figure 9).

For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be under-cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly

Figure 8: Flame settings

Figure 9: Recommended flame settings for cooking

Cooking with a griddle

Figure 10: Griddle

The griddle is a versatile accessory that is perfect for cooking foods that require large flat surfaces such as pancakes, French toast, grilled sandwiches, bacon, and also for cooking different foods at the same time.

After use, let the griddle cool before washing. Hand wash with hot soapy water. Do not soak. Dry thoroughly. Do not put a griddle in a dishwasher

Using the griddle:

Place the griddle securely on top of the burner grates. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process. Important: Do not preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

CAUTION Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Figure 8).

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the burner grates.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

Figure 11: Oven vent

WARNING Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. During self clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

IMPORTANT If the cooktop is used during a self-clean cycle, the oven may turn off. The oven control display will show “SCC" for 5 seconds. The oven door will remain locked until the oven has cooled down below cleaning temperature. If the oven is below cleaning temperature, the user can start another clean cycle immediately. If the oven is in cleaning temperature range, another self-clean cycle can be set once the door unlocks (up to 4 hours)

CAUTION

• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
• Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish.
• To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity

Types of oven racks

Figure 12: Oven rack types

• Flat oven racks may be used for all cooking needs and may be placed in all oven rack positions.

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat oven racks

Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and browning results. Heated air flows around the food from all sides.

Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C). Benefits of convection cooking include:

• Multiple rack baking.
• Foods may cook faster, saving time and energy.

Baking tips

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food.
• When baking cakes using two oven racks place bakeware in positions 3 and 5 and place bakeware as shown in Figure 21.
• When using any single rack for baking cookies, cakes, biscuits or muffins, use rack position 3.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• Unless the recipe is written for convection cooking, use Conv Convert to reduce oven temperature from the recipe’s recommended oven temperature.
• 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.

Convection Roasting tips:

• Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
• Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.
• Smaller roasts and poultry should be cooked using rack position 2 or 3.
• Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
• Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast recommendations for additional information.
• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.
• When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.

Table 1: Convection roasting temperature and time recommendations

Air Fry

The Air Fry feature works best for single rack baking with packaged and convenience foods and can be programmed for temperatures between 170°F and 550°F. Follow the recipe or package directions for food preparation quantity, time, and temperature.

Important:

• Air Fry is designed for baking on a single oven rack. Food should be arranged in single layers on a pan.
• When using Air Fry, use dark bakeware with low or no sides and place food on rack position 3 for best results.
• Leave oven light off when baking.
• Food may need to be removed early and should be checked at minimum recommended bake time. However, frozen dense foods and items with cook times less than 15 minutes may require additional time.

To set the Air Fry function:

1. Arrange food on rack as suggested.

2. Press Air Fry. Enter the suggested temperature for particular food.

3. Press OK/START.

4. When preheat tone sounds place tray on rack position 3.

Note: Set the minute timer for the minimum suggested cook time listed in the table below and check food for desired doneness when timer ends.

5. When cooking is complete press OFF.

Setting the Sabbath Feature (for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays)

This appliance provides special settings for use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/ Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the oven control. Bake is the only cooking feature available while in the Sabbath mode.

Oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode. You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s) needed for the oven and Delay Start options (if needed). Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode will be visible in the displays.

The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 hour energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the cooking features are canceled. If any of the cooking features are canceled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the cancellation.

If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the oven lights are turned off. The oven door will not activate the interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or closed.

It is recommended that any oven temperature modification made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with two presses of the OK/START key. This will insure the oven remains on even if an attempt is made to set the oven temperature outside of its temperature range.

If the oven temperature is set outside of the temperature range, the oven will default to the nearest available temperature. Try to set the desired oven temperature again.

Important:

• Do not attempt to activate any other oven function except Bake while the Sabbath feature is active. The following keys will function correctly when the Sabbath feature is active: 0-9 number keypad, Bake, OK/START, and OFF. All other keys should not be used once the Sabbath feature is active.
• You may change the oven temperature once baking has started. Press Bake, use the numeric keypad to enter the oven temperature change (170°F to 550F°), and press OK/START (for Jewish Holidays only).
• Remember that the oven control will no longer provide audible tones or display any further changes when the Sabbath feature is active.
• The oven will remain on until canceled and therefore may only be used once during the Sabbath/Jewish Holidays.
• If a delay start time longer than 11 hours and 59 minutes is desired, set the oven control for the 24 hour day display mode setting. See “Setting 12 Hour or 24 Hour display mode” on page 21 for more information.

To program oven to Bake with default oven temperature of 350°F and activate the Sabbath feature:

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day.

2. Arrange oven racks, place bakeware in oven, and close oven door. Press Bake.

3. Note: If Delay Start is desired enter the time at this point. See “Setting Delay Start” on page 26 for detailed instructions.

4. Press OK/START.

5. Press and hold Self Clean and Steam Clean simultaneously for about 3 seconds to set the Sabbath feature. Once the feature is set, SAb will appear in the display indicating the oven is properly set for the Sabbath feature (Figure 27)

Figure 27: Oven set for Sabbath baking

To turn the oven off and keep the Sabbath feature active:

1. Press OFF.

To turn off the Sabbath feature:

Press and hold both Self Clean and Steam Clean simultaneously for at least 3 seconds to turn the Sabbath feature off. The control will provide an acceptance tone, and SAb will disappear from the display. The oven is no longer programmed for the Sabbath feature.

What to do during a power failure or power interruption after the Sabbath feature was activated:

Should you experience a power failure or interruption, the oven will shut-off. When power is restored the oven will not turn back on automatically. The oven will remember that it is set for the Sabbath, and the oven display will show the message SF for Sabbath failure (Figure 28).

Figure 28: Display showing Sabbath failure

The food may be safely removed from the oven while still in the Sabbath feature, however the oven cannot be turned back on until after the Sabbath/Holidays. After the Sabbath observance turn off the Sabbath feature.

Press and hold both Self Clean and Steam Clean keys for at least 3 seconds simultaneously to turn the Sabbath feature off. SF will disappear from the display, and the oven may be used with all normal functions.

Keep Warm

Keep Warm should only be used with foods that are fully cooked and at serving temperatures. Warm will keep foods warm and ready for serving at 170° F (77°C) until canceled.

To set Keep Warm:

1. If needed, arrange oven racks and place cooked food in oven.

2. Press Keep Warm.

3. Press OK/START. Keep Warm will automatically turn on and remain on until cancelled.

Note: To turn Keep Warm off at any time, press OFF.

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. This function can be programmed for clean times between 2 and 4 hours.

Important: Before starting self clean read all following caution and important statements before starting a self clean cycle

CAUTION

• Do not leave small children unattended near appliance. During self clean cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot and cause burns if touched.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom, or any part of the range with aluminum foil. This will cause permanent damage to the oven interior and destroy heat distribution, and will melt to the oven interior.
• Do not force the oven door open. This will damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the oven door after the self clean cycle ends. The oven may still be very hot and cause burns. To avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven when opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.
• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to fumes given off during the self clean cycle of any range. Move birds to a well ventilated room.

Important notes:

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.
• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including cookware, utensils, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self clean cycle and will melt.
• Do not spray oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom (Figure 29). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.
• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle. To clean use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures.
• Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie fillings) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material in the gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket and compromise the performance of the oven.

Figure 29: Areas to clean and areas to avoid (gasket)

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during the first self clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors.
• Do not attempt to open the oven door when the OVEN LOCK indicator light is flashing. Allow about 15 seconds for the motorized door latch mechanism to completely lock or unlock the oven door.
• When the clean time finishes, the oven door will remain locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow about 1 additional hour for the oven

Setting Self Clean

To set self clean:

1. Be sure the oven is empty and all oven racks are removed. Remove all items from the oven. Be sure oven door is completely closed.

2. Press Self Clean. The default 3 hour clean time will appear in the display. You may accept the 3 hour clean time or choose a different clean duration by entering any time between 2 and 4 hours clean time by entering the time using the numeric keys.

3. Press OK/START. The warning to REMOVE RACKS will flash in the display to remind you that oven racks should be removed before a self clean.

4. Press OK/START to activate self clean.

5. The warning will end and the motor door lock will begin locking the oven door and Self Clean will start.

Important: Do not open the oven door while the lock motor is running or when any locking indicators or displays are showing. The oven door is completely locked in about 15 seconds. Once the oven door has locked, CLEAN will appear in the display indicating self clean has started.

Do not force the oven door open when self-clean is active. This can damage the automatic door-locking system. Use caution when opening the door after self-clean cycle is complete; the oven may still be very hot.

When self clean is finished:

1. CLEAN message will turn off, and Hot will appear in display window.

2. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot is no longer displayed, the oven door may be opened.

3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

Setting Delay Start Self Clean

To start a delay self clean with default clean time of 3 hours and a start time of 9:00 o’clock:

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day, the oven is empty, and all oven racks are removed. Be sure oven door is completely closed.

2. Press Self Clean

3. Press Delay Start.

4. Using numeric keypad, enter 9 0 0.

5. Press OK/START to accept.

If it becomes necessary to stop self clean when active:

1. Press OFF.

Important: If self clean has heated the oven to a high temperature, allow enough time for the oven to cool. Before restarting self clean, be sure to read important notes below.

Important note:

• If your clock is set with the (default) 12 hr display mode, the delay start for a self clean can only be programmed to start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes after the time showing in the display (be sure to set the clock to current time before programming a Delay Start). To set a delay start Self Clean to begin 12 or more hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59 minutes) after the time of setting, be sure to first set the control in the 24 Hr display mode.
• If self clean was active and then interrupted by a power failure or canceled before the oven was thoroughly cleaned, it may be necessary to run another self clean cycle.
• If the oven temperature was high enough when self clean was interrupted the oven control may not allow another self clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.

Steam Clean

The Steam Clean feature offers a chemical free and time saving method to assist in the routine cleaning of small and light soils. For heavier baked on soils use the Self Clean feature.

Be sure the oven is level and cool before starting Steam Clean. If the oven temperature is above room temperature a triple beep will be heard and the function will not start. Steam Clean produces best results when started with a cool oven

To set a Steam Clean cycle:

1. Remove all racks and oven accessories.

2. Scrape or wipe loose debris and grease from the oven bottom.

3. Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven bottom. (Figure 30) Close oven door.

Figure 30: Add 1 cup of tap water

4. Press Steam Clean.

5. Press OK/START. St Cn will appear in the display.

6. To see time remaining in the Steam Clean cycle press Steam Clean. Do not open the door during this time. If door is open while in Steam Clean (d-O) will appear in the display.

7. When the steam clean cycle is complete an alert will sound and the END message will show in the display. Press OFF to return to the clock.

8. Take care opening the door when the steam clean is finished. Stand to the side of the oven out of the way of escaping vapor.

9. Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven door gasket (Figure 31). Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning cavity.

10. To cancel Steam Clean at any time press OFF.

Figure 31: Clean around the oven door gasket

Important: Opening oven door during Steam Clean cycle prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed to clean. If the door is left open once Steam Clean starts, an alarm will sound alerting you to close the door.

• For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the oven bottom.
• Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill while wiping out.
• A non abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge, plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without cleaner) can be used for difficult soils. Moisten pads with water before use.
• Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time.
• Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to the oven vent. This is normal. The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry.
• Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water). If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar or 50/50 solution of lemon juice and water.
• Steam clean cannot be programmed with a delay start.
• If Steam Clean results are not satisfactory, run a Self Clean. See “Self Clean” on page 34.

Restoring Factory Default Settings

Your appliance was set with predetermined (default) oven control settings. Over time, users may have made changes to these settings. The following options may have been modified since the appliance was new:

• 12 or 24 hr display mode
• Continuous bake or 12 hour energy savings mode
• Silent or audible control
• Oven temperature display (Fahrenheit or Celsius)
• Oven temperature adjustments (UPO)

To restore oven control to factory default settings:

1. Press and hold 7 on numeric keypad until acceptance tone sounds (about 6 seconds).

2. Press OK/START. The control has been reset with the default setting

Adjusting Oven Temperatures

Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure accurate baking temperatures. 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 may adjust the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven temperature displayed.

Important: 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°F degrees from actual temperatures. The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F (+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory calibrated settings.

To increase or decrease the oven temperature by 20°F:

1. Press and hold Bake until the control produces an audible tone (about 6 seconds). The factory offset temperature of 0 (zero) should appear in the display.

2. Enter 2 0 using numeric keypad.

3. To offset the oven by -20°F, press self clean to toggle between + and -.

4. Press OK/START to accept change.

Important note:

• Oven temperature adjustments will not change the Broil, Self Clean, or Keep Warm temperatures.
• The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your oven control is set to display temperatures in °C (Celsius). Minimum and maximum settings for Celsius range from plus (+)19°C to minus (-) 19°C.

CARE AND CLEANING

Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later.

Figure 32: Use cleaners with caution

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. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard
• Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

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 elements 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, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Cleaning the burners

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 heads 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

To clean burner heads:

1. Remove the burner cap and burner head (see Figure 33). Clean the cap and head with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.

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

Figure 33: Removable burner components

3. Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner head.

4. Wipe the burner cap and head clean with a soft, clean cloth, sponge, or scratch-free cleaning pad. Wipe out burner orifice with a cloth before placing burner head and cap back on. The burner assembly must be completely dry before use.

5. Make sure the burner caps and heads are placed and seated properly over the ignitor. The three mounting legs on burner will align with slots on the orifice holder. When placed correctly, the burner cap should not move off the burner head (see “Assembly of the burner caps” on page 13).

6. If burner fails to light, recheck placement of burner head to the orifice holder and cap.

Important notes:

• 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
