Baking tips

• Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like cookies, biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of the oven.
• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two oven racks, place racks in positions 3 and 5 and position bakeware as shown in Figure 24. Allow at least inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• Glass cookware is a slow heat conductor. May require reducing oven temperature.
• Minimize opening of the oven door. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven.
• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the regular bake function for best results.

Convec Bake

Benefits of convection cooking include:

• Foods can cook up to 25 to 30% faster.
• Multiple rack baking.
• When using convection, use cookware or pans with low sides. This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time. Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard pan will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature. Convec Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (148°C) and 550°F °C).

To set Convec. Bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1. Press Conv Bake.

2. Press . To cancel Bake at any time, press

• The convection fan on a gas range will not begin rotating until Convec Bake has been into the cycle for six minutes.
• If the oven door is opened when Convec Bake is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.
• When using Convec Bake, cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

Baking tips

• Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like cookies, biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of the oven. When using two oven racks, place in positions 3 and 5. When using three oven racks, place in positions 2, 4, and 6 (use offset rack only in position 6).
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• Use cookware or pans with low sides. This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.
• Glass cookware may require reduced temperatures.
• Reduce oven temperature by 25°F from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

Setting Conv Roast

The Conv Roast function combines a cook cycle with the convec- tion fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using the

Conv Roast function will be juicier, and poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.

Conv Roast may be set for any oven temperature between °F (149°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Conv Roast:

• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using Conv Roast. Since Conv Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe. If necessary, increase cooking time until the desired doneness is obtained.
• The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid will help prevent splatters. The roasting rack will hold the meat. Use the offset rack on rack position 1.
• Do not cover foods when dry roasting because this will prevent the meat from browning properly.

To set Conv Roast with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1. Press Conv Bake.

2. Press . To cancel Bake at any time, press

Important note:

• After 6 minutes, the convection fan will begin rotating once Conv Bake, Conv Roast, or Conv Convert has been acti- vated.
• If the oven door is opened when any convection function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.
• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack. Use a deep pan instead.

Setting Conv Convert

Pressing the Conv Convert key automatically converts the cooking temperature entered for any standard baking recipe to the lower temperature required for convection baking.

When Conv Convert is used with a timed Conv Bake setting of minutes or more, the Conv Convert function will display a CF message as a reminder to check food when the bake time is complete. At this time the oven control will sound one long beep at regular intervals until the set cook time has finished.

Slow Cook

The Slow Cook feature cooks foods more slowly and at lower oven temperatures for longer periods of time. Slow Cook is ideal for roasting beef, pork and poultry. Slow cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but will not burn the outside as it seals in the meat’s juices.

Two Slow Cook settings are available: high (Hi) and low (Lo). The high setting is best for cooking foods between 4 and 5 hours.

The low setting is best for cooking foods up to 9 hours or longer.

Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:

• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.
• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position 2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate the size of various bakeware when cooking multiple food items.
• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the Slow Cook time may need to be extended.
• Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
• Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone, and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.
• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of cooking.

Important note:

• Slow Cook may be used with additional settings of Cook Time and Delay Start.
• The maximum cook time for Slow Cook function is 11 hours and 59 minutes.

To set Slow Cook:

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refriger- ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

1. Position bakeware in oven and close oven door.
2. Press Slow Cook. HI will appear in the display, indicating the default temperature setting is for high.
3. If a low setting is needed, press the Down arrow key to select the low setting.
4. Press to activate Slow Cook. To cancel Slow Cook at any time, press .

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 heating 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, the Cook Time, and the Delay Start options (if needed). Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode will be visible in the displays. The Cook Time option, if set prior to the Sabbath mode, will give one audible alert at the end of Cook Time.

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

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 START key. This will ensure 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.

WARNING

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refriger- ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

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.
3. Press Bake.
4. Press .
5. If Cook Time or Delay Start are not needed, skip this step and continue to step 6. If a Cook Time or Delay Start are desired, enter the times at this point.
6. Press and hold Cook Time and Delay Start 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.

Important note:

• 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: number keypad, Bake, , and . 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 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.
• Remember the oven will shut-off automatically after completing a Cook Time, Delay Start, or Warm & Hold 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.

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate soils com- pletely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.

The Self Clean function on this model can be programmed for any duration between 2 and 4 hours. Use numeric keypad or the Up / Down arrow keys. Each time an arrow key is pressed, the time is changed by 1 minute up or down. Press START.

Read before starting Self Clean. Be sure to 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.

CAUTION Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom, or any part of the range with aluminum foil. This will cause per- manent damage to the oven interior and destroy heat distribu- tion, and will melt to the oven interior.

CAUTION 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.

CAUTION 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 use 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. 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.

Important notes:

• 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 additional hour for the oven to cool before you will be able to open the oven door.

CARE & CLEANING

General Cleaning

CAUTION Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. The range may be hot and can cause burns.

CAUTION Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

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. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

WARNING Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

• 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 burners 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, the utensil will be damaged or destroyed.

Cleaning the Cooktop and Surface Burners

CAUTION To avoid possible burns, do not attempt any of the cooktop cleaning instructions provided before turning OFF all of the surface burners and allow them to completely cool.

CAUTION 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 head ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame.

Cleaning 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 surface burner grates:

• Clean only after the grates are completely cool.
• Use nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mild abrasive cleanser or clean in the dishwasher.
• Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean immediately after the grates are cool.
• Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.

To clean burner caps:

• Remove caps from burner heads after they have cooled.
• Clean heavy soils with a plastic scrubbing pad and absorbent cloth.
• Thoroughly dry burner caps immediately following cleaning including the bottom and inside of cap.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners. They can scratch porcelain.
• Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher.
• Do not operate surface burners without burner caps properly in place. Read important notes.

.

Cleaning Surface Burner Heads

For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner head and slots. To clean, first use a clean damp cloth to soak up any spills. Remove any food from between the burner slots using a small nonabrasive brush like a toothbrush and afterwards wipe up using a damp cloth. For stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean.

Any spill on or around the electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care not to hit the electrode with any thing hard or it could be damaged.

To clean the burner head ignition ports:

Each burner head has a small ignition port located as shown.

Should you experience ignition problems it may be that this port hole is partially blocked with soil. With the burner head in place, use a small wire gauge needle or the end of a paper clip to clear the ignition port (Refer to Figure 40; round style shown; oval burner on some models not shown).

Important notes:

• The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and must be cleaned in place on the cooktop.
• 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.

Replacing Oven Light (some models)

The oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield protects the light bulb and must be in place whenever the oven is in use.
