USING THE SURFACE BURNERS
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.
Your range comes with electric ignitors that light
the burners each time you turn the control knobs
to RITE.
• Place a filled pan on the burner grate before
turning on the surface burner. Do not operate a
burner for extended periods of time without
having cookware on the grate.
Push in the control knob and turn it counter-
clockwise to the LITE
position. The clicking
sound is the ignitor
sparking. Make sure
the burner has lit.
• Stop the clicking
sound after the burner
lights by turning the
control knob anywhere
between HI and LO.
NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same
time. However, the burner with the control knob
turned to LITE is the one that will ignite.
I
REMEMBER: When range is in use or during
the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area
may become hot.
I
Use the following chart as a guide.
SETTING ..... RECOMMENDED USE
LITE • To light the burner.
Power Burner • To provide highest heat
(left front burner) setting.
HI • To start food cooking.
i
• To bring liquid to a boil.
Mid-range
: (between HI and
LO)
• To hold a boil.
• To fry chicken or pancakes.
• To cook gravy, pudding, or
icing.
• To cook large amounts of
vegetables.
LO • To keep food warm.
• To simmer.
SURESIMMER TM • To provide lowest
setting simmer/heat setting.
(right rear burner) • To melt chocolate or butter.
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The
cookware could overheat, causing damage to the
cookware or cooking product.
,i
The left front burner is designed to give ultra-high
power when it is fully on. It can be used to rapidly
bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of
food.
The right rear SURESIMMER burner is designed for
low temperature cooking. It allows accurate simmer
control at the lowest setting.
• To help shorten your cooking time, use the least
amount of liquid possible.
• Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn
the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.
7
USING THE SURFACE BURNERS (contd.)
The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure
canners combined with high heat settings for long
periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:
• Center the canner over the surface burner. Do
not extend more than 1 inch outside the burner
area.
• Do not place your canner on two surface burners
at the same time.
• Start with hot water, cover with a lid and bring to
a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or
required pressure levels in a pressure canner.
• Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
For up-to-date information on canning, contact
your local U.S. Government Agricultural
Department Extension Office or companies who
manufacture home canning products.
• The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides,
and a well-fitting lid.
• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)
cookware.
• The pan material (metal or glass) affects how
quickly and evenly the pan heats.
• When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to
make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.
• To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are
centered on the grates.
You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit
match near a burner and turn the control knob to
the LITE position. After the burner lights, turn the
control knob to the setting you want.
CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS
The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.
Aluminum
Cast iron
Ceramic or
ceramic glass
Copper

• Heats quickly and evenly.
: • Use for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
• Heats slowly and unevenly.

enamel-on-cast iron
Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.
• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides
even heating.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
USING THE OVEN
The integrated handle area makes pulling out the
STURDIGLIDE rack simple. The opening is large
enough for a potholder or oven mitt.
The STURDIGLIDE HALF-RACK with removable
insert is a space maximizer. When attached, they
make a full rack. The insert can also be used on
the counter for a cooling rack.
Position a full rack on guide 1 or 2 and the half-rack
on guide 3 or 4. On the full rack place large items on
right side and deeper, covered dishes on left side.
Place shallow dishes on the half-rack. It may be
necessary to increase cooking time. At the end of
cooking, carefully remove items from the oven.
• For best results, allow 2 inches of space around
each pan and between pans and oven walls. Hot
air must circulate around the pans in the oven for
even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This
results in better baking.
Use this rack position when roasting food too large
to be placed on the first
rack position.
For proper roasting,
follow these guidelines:
• To avoid spillage,
remove food before
pulling out the rack.
• Tilt the rack up at the
front before pulling it
'.xtra oven rack position over the door.
• Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan
(meat juices or water) so your food does not get
overdone.
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE PLACE
1 pan In center of the oven rack.
2 pans Side by side or slightly
......................... s!aggered7 ...............................
3 or 4 pans In opposite corners on
each oven rack. Stagger
pans so no pan is directly
Place the STURDIGLIDE racks where you need
them before turning on the oven.
• To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position,
raise the front edge and lift it out.
• Be sure the rack(s) is level.
• Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands
if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.
• For best performance, cook on one rack. Place
the rack so the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.
• When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks
on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of
cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at
approximately three quarters of the total bake
time. Increase baking time, if necessary.

BAKEWARE CHOICES
Baking performance is affected by the type of bakeware used. Use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe.
BAKEWARE TYPE BEST USED FOR GUIDELINES
Light colored aluminum • Light golden crusts • Use temperature and time recommended
• Even browning in recipe.
Dark aluminum and other • Brown, crisp crusts • May reduce baking temperature 25°F.
bakeware with dark, dull, ° Use suggested baking time.
and/or non-stick finish ° Use temperature and time recommended in recipe
for pies, breads, and casseroles.
• Place rack in center of oven.
Ovenproof glassware, • Brown, crisp crusts • May reduce baking temperature 25°F.
ceramic glass, or ceramic
Insulated cookie sheets or ° Little or no bottom browning • Place in the bottom third of oven.
baking pans • May need to increase baking time.
Stainless steel • Light, golden crusts • May need to increase baking time.
• Uneven browning
Stoneware • Crisp crusts • Follow manufacturer's instructions.
USING ALUMINUM FOIL
• Do not line the oven bottom with any type of
foil, liners, or cookware. Permanent damage
will occur to the oven bottom finish.
• Do not block the oven bottom vents.
• Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil.
Doing so will reduce air circulation and overall
oven performance.
• To catch spillovers from pies or casseroles place
foil on the oven rack below. Foitshould be turned
up at edges and be at least 1 inch larger than
dish.
• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or
poultry to slow down surface browning for tong
term masting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.
• Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust
edges if browning too quickly.

• For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a
shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the
drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.
• Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate

THE OVEN VENT
Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through
a vent that is near the middle of the backguard. The
vent lets air circulate properly. Be careful not to
block the vent, or you will get poor baking/roasting
results.
NOTE: Never store plastics, paper, or other items
that could melt or burn near the oven vent, or any
of the surface burners.

Usingthe SELECT CLEANTM
Self-Cleaning Cycle
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling
dangerous fumes.
BEFORE YOU START
NOTES:
• Heat and odors are normal during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well
ventilated by opening a window or by turning on
a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the
cycle.
• DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket. You
may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.
• The oven light will not work during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make
sure you:
• Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get
hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for
soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent
or a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.
• Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on
door and frame.
• Remove the broiler pan and grid and any
cookware/bakeware being stored in the oven.
• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help
reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
• Wipe up food spills containing sugar and/or milk
as soon as possible after the oven cools down.
When sugar is heated to a high temperature in
the Self-Cleaning cycle, the high temperature
can cause the sugar to burn and react with the
porcelain. This can cause staining and etching or
pitting.
• Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want
them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven
racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will
become harder to slide. (See the "Cleaning chart"
in the "Caring for Your Range" section, p. 31 .)If
you clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle,
place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The
guides are counted from bottom to top.)

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in
death to certain birds. Always move birds to another
closed and well ventilated room.
TIPS:
• Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the
Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors,
and smoke.
• Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and
results in more smoke than usual.
• Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.
• Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They
may melt.
• Do not leave any foil in the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and
damage the oven surface.
26
HOW THE CYCLE WORKS
The SELECT CLEAN TM Self-Cleaning cycle uses
temperatures much hotter than normal oven use to
break up and burn away soil and grease. SELECT
CLEAN will set the clean time automatically, once
you choose the soil level. You can choose SoilL
(light soil), SoilA (average soil) or SoilH (heavy soil).
SoilL will clean for approximately 2-2_ hours, SoilA
for 3-3½ hours and SoilH for 4-4½ hours.
The door must be closed completely for it to lock and
the cycle to begin. If properly closed, the door will
lock approximately 6 seconds after START/ENTER is
pressed. The cycle time includes an approximate 30
minute cool down time. To see the time of day during
the cycle, press CLOCK for 5 seconds.
