General cooktop instructions

Oven vent/cooling vent

The oven vent is located under the oven Control panel. Proper air circulation prevents oven burner combustion problems and ensures good performance.

• Do not block the vent or the area around the vent.

• Use caution when placing items near the vent. Hot steam can cause them to overheat or melt.

Cookware

Requirements

• Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight-fitting lid.
• Well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot or pan.

Material characteristics

• Aluminum: An excellent heat conductor. Some types of food may cause the aluminum to darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting.
• Copper: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
• Stainless steel: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance but is durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast-Iron: A poor conductor but retains heat very well.
• Enamelware: Heating characteristics depend on the base material.
• Glass: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specified for range top cooking or oven use.

Size limitations

CAUTION

• Do not place a small pan or pot with a bottom diameter of about 6 inches or less on the center grate. This cookware may tip over. Use the rear burners for this smallsized cookware.

* : 6 inches or less

• Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop and not over other surface burners. This will minimize the chance of burns, spillovers, and the ignition of flammable materials that can be caused if pots or pans are bumped accidently.
• When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.
• Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. Hot air from the vent can melt or ignite plastic items or cause a building up of dangerous pressure in closed plastic containers.
• Make sure you hold the handle of a wok or a small one-handled pot while cooking.

Gas burners

Each burner has a corresponding knob that lets you to set the flame level from LO to HI. In addition, each burner knob has a LITE setting. Turning a knob to LITE ignites the corresponding burner. The burner indicators are located above each knob, showing which burner the knob controls. Each burner is designed for specific cooking purposes. See the table below.

* Tomato sauce needs to be stirred while it is simmering.

Ignition

Manual ignition

If there is a power failure, you can ignite the burner manually. Use caution when doing this.

1. Hold a long gas grill lighter to the surface burner you want to light.
2. Push in the control knob for that burner, and then turn it to the LITE position. Turn on the grill lighter to ignite the burner.
3. After the burner is lit, turn the control knob to adjust the flame level.

Flame level

The flames on the burners should always stay under the cookware, and should not extend beyond the cookware bottom at any time.

WARNING

• Flames larger than the cookware bottom may result in a fire or physical injury.
• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the burner knob quickly. Watch the flame to make sure it stays on.
• After turning on a surface burner, check to make sure that the burner has ignited. Adjust the level of the flame by turning the burner knob.
• Always turn off the surface burner controls before removing cookware. All surface burner controls should be turned OFF when you are not cooking.
• Always turn the burners off before you go to sleep or go out.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. NEVER use an open flame to locate a leak.

Temperature Limitations by Mode

Using the oven racks

Your gas oven range comes with 3 racks and 7 rack positions. The rack positions are delineated by rack guides which support the racks. Each rack guide has a stop that prevents racks from loosening during the oven’s operation. Each rack has stoppers that need to be placed correctly on the rack guides. The stoppers prevent the racks from accidently coming out of the oven completely when you pull the racks out.

CAUTION

• Do not cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. This will hamper heat circulation, resulting in poor baking.
• Do not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom. The aluminum can melt and damage the oven.
• Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.
• When placing an oven rack in the topmost rack position (position 7), make sure the rack is situated stably on the embossed stop.
