10. First Use
Conditioning the oven
Conditioning will burn off any manufacturing residues and ensure that you get the best
results right from the start.
Follow these steps to condition your new stove’s oven :
1. Insert all the Shelves. 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 down the oven with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and dry
thoroughly.
6.Positioning the Shelves:
Both the sides panel and shelves with safety stop to keep them sliding out of the
oven when pulled forward;
And the front stop prevents the shelves from against hitting the back of the oven
11. Cooktop Safety Guidelines
There are dual burners have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle
simmering (800 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
hot handle.
FIRST USE
22
Keep handles 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 igniter and the
notches of the flame spreader, stopping the burner from functioning correctly. See
“Care and cleaning ” for instructions.
Ensure the burner flames are blue, with no yellow tipping, and burn steadily around the
entire burner cap without fluttering. If issues arise, refer to the 'Troubleshooting'
section for guidance.
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.
COOKTOP SAFETY GUIDELINES
Surface Burner Ignition
23
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 slow-cooking dishes that require low heat for extended periods..
The 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
pasta cooking.
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 color. 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.
In the event of a power failure, the appliance cannot be safely operated. Users should
avoid attempting to use it during a power outage.
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.
COOKTOP SAFETY GUIDELINES
24
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 damage 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 organ -
isms which may cause food poisoning. Take care during warmer weather.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
COOKTOP SAFETY GUIDELINES
25
12. Operating The Oven
Oven Cooking Safety Guidelines
Do not block the ducts on the rear of the range when cooking in the oven. It is import -
ant that the flow of moist warm air from the oven and fresh air into the oven burner
never be interrupted.
Avoid touching the vent opening or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation
because they are hot. Do not place plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent.
Use all the oven modes with the oven door closed.
Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven shelves or to line the floor of the oven. The
trapped heat can irreversibly damage the enamel and may even cause a fire.
Do not place water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor, as this will irre-
versibly damage 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
cause food poisoning. Take care during warmer weather.
WARNING
According to the United Sates Department of Agriculture:DO NOT hold foods at tem -
peratures between 40ºF to 140ºF more than 2 hours.Cooking raw foods below 275ºF is
not recommended.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots,holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack
with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may
cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a
fire hazard.

Cooking Modes
Bake
The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 175 ° F to 550 ° F. Baking
temperature and time will vary depending on the ingredients and the size and shape of the
baking pan used. Dark or nonstick coatings may cook faster with more browning.
How to set the oven for baking :
1. Press▲ or to select “Bake”,and then press “Start/OK ”.
2. Press▲ or to select the desired temperature,and then press “Start/OK ”.
3. Displays cooking time Settings,you can press or to select you want cooking time.
4. Press "Start/OK" to save the changes. If you do not set a cook time and directly press "Start/OK",
the oven will operate for the maximum safe duration. The temperature display will start to change
once the oven temperature reaches 100°F (the actual oven temperature is displayed when the
temperature is between 100°F and 550°F).
5. If you want to change the cooking time or cooking mode , Press “OFF” to stop the oven and
return to the cooking mode selection.
6. When the cooking time ends, the oven will stop operating, the buzzer will sound, and the display
will show "End". If the oven door is not opened within 1 minute, the "End" message will disappear,
and the display will return to its standby state. In the standby state, the clock will be displayed if the
oven temperature is below 150°F; if the temperature exceeds 150°F, the display will show "HOT".
NOTE
Place food in the oven after preheating 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 .
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 of the oven, preheating will take around 15-20 minutes.
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 slightly may give the best results.
6. Dark metal baking pans or those with a dull finish absorb heat faster than shiny pans, and
are 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
OPERATING THE OVEN
29
cookies), as it reflects some heat and gives a less intense baking surface.
8. Avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking.
How to set the oven for convection bake :
1. Press or to select “Conv Bake”,and then press “Start/OK ”.
2. Press or to select the desired temperature,and then press “Start/OK ”.

display will show "End". If the oven door is not opened within 1 minute, the "End" message will
disappear, and the display will return to its standby state. In the standby state, the clock will be
displayed if the oven temperature is below 150°F; if the temperature exceeds 150°F, the
display will show "HOT".
Conv Roast
For best results 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 and 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 distributor or through Customer Care.
When roasting larger items like a whole turkey, use only the pan and grid for greater stability.
How to set the oven for convection roast :
1. Press or to select “Conv Roast”,and then press “Start/OK ”.
2. Press or to select the desired temperature,and then press “Start/OK ”.
3. Displays cooking time Settings,you can press or to select you want cooking time.
