helves. See ‘Positioning the shelves’ for instructions.
2. Turn on the ventilation hood above your range on high.
3. Heat the empty oven at the highest temperature for:
a. 30 minutes using BAKE
b. 30 minutes using BROIL (some ovens only).
4. There will be a distinctive smell while you are conditioning the oven. This is normal, but make sure the
kitchen is well ventilated during the conditioning.
5. Once cooled, wipe out the oven with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and dry thoroughly.
6. Positioning the shelves
7. Both the sides panel and shelves with safety stop to keep them sliding out of the oven when pulled
forward;
8. And the front stop prevents the shelves from against hitting the back of the oven
11. C
OOKTOP SAFETY GUIDELINES
There are dual burners have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle simmering (620 BTU/hr.).
Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces, simmering soups
and stews, and keeping cooked food hot.
Never leave the cook top unattended when in use. Boil over causes smoking and greasy spills
that may ignite.
Never allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up on sides. This could
discolor and damage the utensil and you may get burned touching the
hothandle.
19
COOKTOP SAFETY GUIDELINES
Keep han
dles out of the way. Turn handles so that they don’t extend over the edge of the range or on a
burner that is on.
Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting.
Make sure that all burner parts are properly in place. Incorrectly or incompletely assembled burners
may produce dangerous flames. See ‘Replacing the burner parts’ in ‘Care and cleaning’.
Keep the burners clean, especially after a spill or boil over, make sure you clean the affected burners
before using them again. Food residue may clog the ignite and the notches of the flame spreader,
stopping the burner from functioning correctly. See “Care and cleaning” for instructions.
Check that the burner flames. They should be blue with no yellow tipping, and burn without fluttering all
around the burner cap. If not, see ‘Troubleshooting’ for advice.
Surface Burner Ignition
To light the top burners, push and turn the
appropriate control knob counter clockwise to
the “Hi”or “Med” or “Lo” position. You will hear
a clicking noise – the sound of the electric spark
igniting the burner. Once burner ignition has been
achieved, then turn the burner control knob to
adjust the desired heat setting.
20
COOKTOP SAFETY GUIDELINES
NOTE: When one burner is turned to the “Hi” position, the burner igniters will park. Do not attempt
to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. Do not touch any
burner cap, burner base, or ignite while the igniters are sparking.
SIMMER AND BOIL
A smaller flame will give the best simmer results. Small flames offer precise cooking performance for
delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for cooking that need to cook over
low heat for a long time.
2The highest flame settings provides the maximum heat that is available on your range. This setting
should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling or pastacooking.
FLAME SIZE
When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.The flame should be steady and blue in col-
or. Foreign material in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial operation.
POWER FAILURE
If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five minutes for any
gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.
If the power fails, it is not capable of being safely placed in operation and user that no attempt should be
made to operate during power failure.
COOKTOP
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining, clean cooktop after each use, and wipe up acidic or
sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has cooled.
The sealed burners of your range are not sealed to your cooktop and are designed to be removed. Boil
overs or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The burners should be cleaned after each use.
21
BURNER GRATES
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the grates may result in
scratching of the cooktop and / or poor combustion.
Do not place water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor, as this will irreversibly dam-
age the enamel.
Do not cover the slotted grid of the broil/roast pan with aluminum foil. This will catch the grease
and could cause fire.
Do not use plastic wrap or wax paper in the oven.
For food safety reasons, do not leave food in the oven for longer than two hours before and after
cooking or defrosting. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may causefood poison-
ing. Take care duri

NOTE
Place food in the oven after p
reheati
ng if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is very important for
good results when baking cakes,cookies, pastry, and breads. After the oven has reached the
desired temperature, the range will beep six times.
Conv Bake
The oven convection fan circulates and distributes the heat in the oven for faster and even
cooking. Convection cooking allows you to bake more items on multiple racks.
To bake using the convection fan:
1.Position the oven bottom cover and the oven shelves before using oven.
2.Remove any unused shelves and baking utensils from the oven.
3. Preheat the oven to the temperature stated in the recipe. Depending on the temperature and
the size o
f the ov
en, preheating will take around 15-20minutes.
4. Arrange pans and food items evenly on the shelves. Make sure pans do not touch each other
or the sides of the oven. When baking a single item, always center the item on the oven shelf.
If baking on multiple shelves, make sure you stagger items on the shelves so that one is never
directly above another.
5. When baking using convection, either reduce the temperature stated in the recipe and
leave the baking time unchanged, or reduce the baking time by several minutes and leave
the temperature unchanged. For foods with a baking time of over an hour, reducing both the
temperature and time slightl
y may give the best resul
ts.
26
6. Dark metal baking pans or those with a dull finish absorb heat faster than shiny pans, an
dare excellent for pies and breads, or anything that needs browning or a crisper crust.
7. A shiny finish may work best for foods that require lighter, delicate browning (e.g. cakes and
cookies), as it reflects some heat and gives a less intense baking surface.
8. Avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking.

7. If you want to cancel convection baking or if you have finished, press “Cancel” for 3 seconds
or short press the “Cancel” button the oven will stop working and return to cooktime setting
to reset the time, 30 seconds without setting the oven to return to standby.
Conv Roast
For best res
ults
use the broiler pan. The pan is used to catch grease spills and has a cover to
prevent grease splatter.
The convection fan circulates heated air over the around the food being roasted, sealing juices
quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden-brown
exterior.
Use the broil/roast pan and slotted grid supplied with the range when roasting in order to
elevate the meat on a metal roasting rack. This allows hot air to circulate around the meat,
browning it more evenly like a rotisserie. A suitable roasting rack can be purchased through
your CRG by the distribute or Customer Care.
When roasting larger items like a whole turkey, use o
nly the pa
n and grid for greater stability.
