USING THE RANGE

In Case of a Power Failure

In the event of a power failure. the oven is inoperable and no attempt should be made to operate it. However. the surface burners may be lit with a match. Using extreme caution. hold a lit match near the ports beneath
the surface burner cap. then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Once lit, surface burners will continue to operate normally.

Surface Burners

Lighting a Surface Burner

Burners should be operated only when covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.

Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.
Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

You will hear a clicking noise— the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. When one burner is turned to LITE. all burners will spark. Sparking will continue as long as the knob remains at LITE. Once gas is ignited. turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

Selecting a Flame Size

Watch the flame. not the knob. as you adjust heat. When rapid heating is desired. the flame size should match the size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be hazardous.

These flames are too large for the pot

Using the Surface Burners

NOTES:

• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
• Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while another burner is on. Damage to the product may occur.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand. a pot holder or cleaning materials on them.

Your rangetop has sealed gas burners that offer convenience. cleanability and flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.

The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking performance for foods such as delicate sauces that require low heat for a long cooking time.

The extra-large burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. Some models have a
POWER BOIL setting especially designed for use with cookware with a diameter of 11 inches or larger.

Types of Surface Burners

Round Burner

Use this burner for general cooking purposes. Size cookware appropriately to the flames.

Oval Burner

Use this burner to cook on the griddle.

Multi-Ring Burner

Use this burner for large cookware or for simmering applications.

Top-of-Range Cookware

• Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
• Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper. aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat or as the manufacturer recommends.
• Cast-Iron: If heated slowly. most skillets will give satisfactory results.
• Enamelware: Under some conditions. the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
• Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans. coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.
• Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check the cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Using a Wok

Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.

Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly. resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Griddle

Fire Hazard

• Use care when cooking greasy foods. Spilled grease may result in fire.
• Never place any items on the griddle when it is not in use. Heat from surrounding burners can heat the griddle and may result in fire.
• Place and remove the griddle only when griddle is cool and all surface burners are turned OFF.

Positioning Your Griddle

The reversible cast-iron griddle can only be used over the center burner of the rangetop. To position the griddle. remove the center grate (if present). and replace it with the griddle. Do not turn on the center burner until you are certain the griddle has been positioned correctly.

Preheating Your Griddle

If your center burner is a single oval burner. preheat your griddle for 2-5 minutes on Hi before placing food on the griddle. If your center burner is a dual oval burner. preheat your griddle for 5-10 minutes on Hi before placing food on the griddle. Once the griddle is preheated. turn the heat down to the cook setting outlined in the table corresponding to your griddle. To determine the type of burner you have. see the Types of Surface Burners section.

Using Your Reversible Cast-Iron Griddle

The ribbed side of the reversible griddle can be used for food normally grilled.

Your griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for meats. pancakes and other foods usually prepared in a skillet. Before first use. rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly. Prepare the surface with cooking spray or vegetable oil.

Griddle Precautions:

• Do not place the griddle in a microwave oven.
• Do not clean your griddle in the dishwasher.
• If something has spilled under the griddle. it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on” food soil.
• Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle with hot. soapy water as soon as it is cool.

Preseasoned Reversible Cast-Iron Griddle

Cook settings may need to be reduced if the griddle is used for an extended time.

Replace the center grate ( if present) with the Preseasoned Cast- Iron Riversible Griddle

Sabbath Mode Power Outage Note

If a power outage occurs while the oven is in Sabbath Mode. the unit will return to Sabbath Mode when power is restored. however the oven will return to the off state even if it was in the middle of a bake cycle when the power outage occurred.

Oven Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods.

Bake

The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from the upper element to cook food. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode. To use this mode press the Bake pad. enter a temperature with the number pads. and then press Start.

Convection Bake

This mode is intended for single rack baking when additional airflow is desired to enhance evenness.
Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Bake pad. enter a temperature with number pads. and then press Start.

Convection Roast

This mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. The utilization of all three elements and direct airflow down from the top of the oven improves browning and reduces cooking time. Check food earlier than the recipe suggests when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Roast pad. enter a temperature with number pads. and then press Start.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking. spattering. and the possibility of fats igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 is not recommended.

Broiling can be used for foods that would typically be grilled.

Adjust the rack position in order to vary the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior are desired. For best performance center the food below the broil heating element.

Press the Broil pad twice for High or once for Low depending on the amount of searing and the internal temperature that is preferred. The High setting is best for thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. The Low setting is preferred for thicker cuts of meat and foods you liket o be cooked all the way through. It is not necessary to preheat the oven for these modes. Then press Start.

Air Fry

Air Fry is a special. no-preheat. cooking mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. The Air Fry mode is intended for single rack cooking only. Select Air Fry. then input the desired set temperature and press Start. The temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F.
Preheating is not recommended for this mode. Follow traditional oven recipe or package guidelines for set temperatures and cook times; adjust cook time to achieve your desired crispness. Additional guidelines for using this mode can be found in the Cooking Guide.

Warm

Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods at a higher temperature for up to 3 hours. Preheating is not required.
Do not use warm to heat cold food other than crisping crackers. chips. or dry cereal. It is also recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. Press the Warm pad and then press Start.

Oven Air Vents

Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to keep cool and operate properly with correct combustion.

Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop. at the top and bottom of the oven door. and at the bottom of the range.

Oven Cooking Guide

Cook food thoroughly to help protect against food borne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations for food safety can be found. Use a food thermometer to measure food temperatures.

Oven Cookware Guidelines

The material. finish. and size of cookware affect baking performance.

Dark. coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light. shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner. crisper. and thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25°F next time.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is recommended to preheat this type of cookware if possible. Additional cook time may be required.

Cookware used in broil modes and air fry must be broil safe.

*When baking four cake layers at a time, stagger the pans as shown so that one pan is not directly above another.

Cook food thoroughly to help protect against food borne illness. Make sure to use a food thermometer to take food temperatures.

NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for faster preheat, improved efficiency and optimal cooking performance.

Air Fry Cooking Guide

Air Fry is a special. no-preheat. cooking mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. Select Air Fry. then input the desired set temperature and press Start. The temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F.

Air Fry Cookware Guidelines

• Only use broil safe cookware when using Air Fry mode.
• A dark sheet pan is recommended. A dark pan promotes better browning and crisping.
• Oven baking baskets and baking grids can also be used. A sheet pan should be placed on the rack below the foods to catch any drippings when using a baking basket.

General Tips for Air Fry Mode

• The Air Fry mode is designed for cooking on a single rack.
• The Air Fry mode is designed to be used without preheating.
• Rack position 4 is recommended for most foods. Use rack position 3 for thicker foods.
• Foods may cook faster than expected if the oven is already hot when food is placed in the oven.
• When air frying foods with sauce. it is recommended to apply the sauce at the end of cooking.
• If foods are browning too quickly. try a lower rack position or lower oven set temperature.
• For packaged foods. use traditional oven cooking instructions for set temperature and expected cook time.
• It is not necessary to flip or stir food during cooking
• Arrange food in a single layer on the pan. do not overload the pan.
• Always check internal food temperature to confirm minimum safe temperatures have been reached. Minimum safe food temperatures can be found on packages

CARE AND CLEANING

Range – Exterior

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

Control Lockout

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning.

See Lock Controls in the Oven Controls section in this manual.

Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.

You may also use a glass cleaner.

Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind.

Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning.

Control Panel

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers. strong liquid cleansers. plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. including Black Stainless Steel.

Oven Exterior

Do not use oven cleaners. abrasive cleansers. strong liquid cleansers. steel wool. plastic scouring pads. or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Troubleshooting Tips ... Before you call for service

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service

My new oven doesn't cook like my old one. Is something wrong with the temperature settings?

Your new oven has a different cooking system from your old oven and therefore may cook differently than your old oven.

• For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully and use rack positions recommended in the Cooking Guide. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking preference. See the Settings section.

Why is my range making a "clicking" noise when using my oven?

Your range has been designed to maintain a tighter control over your oven's temperature. You may hear your oven's heating elements "click" on and off more frequently than in older ovens to achieve better results during baking, broiling, and self-clean cycles.

• This is normal.

Sometimes the oven takes longer to preheat to the same temperature
