FEATURE GUIDE
COOKTOP USE
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to IGNITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate. The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn the burner off.
Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown household fuse. Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained repair specialist.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to IGNITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between Hi and Lo.
Power Failure
In case of a prolonged power failure, the surface burners cannot be lit manually. No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure.
Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner Cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.
Gas Tube Opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube opening by always using a burner cap.
Burner Ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the burner ports.
To Clean:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF and the cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust removers.
1. Remove the burner cap and the burner base and clean according to the “General Cleaning” section.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist.
4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap.
5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
EZ-2-Lift™ Hinged Cast Iron Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the proper position, the grates should be flush and level. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping or scratching of the cooktop.
Your cooktop comes with hinged grates for easier cleaning. The grates pivot upward and toward the sides of the cooktop for easy access under the grates. The grates will stop once they are moved to their vertical (fully open) position. A 15" (38.1 cm) minimum clearance from the countertop to the bottom of the upper cabinets/appliances is needed to fully open the grates.
Be sure to return the grates to their normal (down) position once cleaning is complete. The grates are removable for cleaning.
To attach the grates to their hinges, insert the grate slot over the hinge pin on the side of the cooktop. Be sure to keep the grate angled above the cooktop to avoid scratching the cooktop until the grate is seated on the hinge pin. Then position the grate down onto the cooktop.
Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the gas flame. To lift a grate, grasp grate on the side opposite the center of the hinge. Lift straight up. Be aware of any walls, cabinets, or other surfaces that may come in contact with the grate when opened. A 15" (38.1 cm) minimum clearance from the countertop to the bottom of the upper cabinets/appliances is needed to fully open the grates.
Burner Size
Select a burner that best fits your cookware. See the following illustration and chart.
Small
- Low-heat cooking
- Melting chocolate or butter
Large
- For large cookware
Extra-Large
- For large cookware
- Most powerful burner
Oval
- For longer dishes
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the surfaces.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.
Aluminum
- Heats quickly and evenly.
- Suitable for all types of cooking.
- Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
Cast iron
- Heats slowly and evenly.
- Good for browning and frying
- Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or ceramic glass
- Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
- Heats slowly but unevenly.
- Ideal results on low-to-medium heat settings.
Copper
- Heats very quickly and evenly.
- May leave copper residues which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.
Earthenware
- Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
- Use on low heat settings.
Porcelain enamel on steel or cast iron
- See stainless steel or cast iron.
Stainless steel
- Heats quickly but unevenly.
- A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.
For best results, the cookware should be centered above the burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.
Home Canning
Canning can be performed on a glass smooth-top cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
- Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than 1/2" (13 mm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.
- Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at the same time.
- For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.
OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Racks
- Position racks before turning on the oven.
- Do not move racks with bakeware on them.
- Make sure racks are level.
- Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least 1 /2" (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil element.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.
Rack Positions - Upper Oven
Baking and Broiling
For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4-5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4 for regular baking.
2-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 2 and 4 for convection baking
Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use rack positions 2 and 4 with the Convection Bake function. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.
Baking Cookies on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use rack positions 2 and 4 with the Bake function.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Baking and Roasting
Preheating
When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Rapid Preheat. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for single-rack baking.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.
AccuBake® Temperature Management System
The AccuBake® Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and Bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during Bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use. Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Frozen Bake™ Technology
Frozen Bake™ Technology can be used to cook prepackaged frozen food without needing to preheat the oven and without overbrowning the food. There are 4 preprogrammed food options to choose from: Pizza, Lasagna, Nuggets/Fries, and Pie. Frozen Bake™ Technology should only be used for these foods. Cook only 1 package at a time when using Frozen Bake™ Technology. Use the recommended temperature and maximum recommended time from the packaging. A beep will alert you to check the food’s doneness before the cook time is completed and again at the end of the cook time. The display will prompt you to add to the cook time or end the cycle.
Broiling
Close the oven door while broiling. No preheating is necessary. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information. On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.
- For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more information..
Lower Oven Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed.
NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.
Position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section before starting convection cooking. With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature or for a shorter length of time.

RANGE CARE
Self-Cleaning Cycle
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.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see the “Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.
Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.
Prepare Range:
- Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all cooking utensils, oven racks, aluminum foil, and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
- Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 1&1/2" (38 mm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket.
- Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.
- At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.
- Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.
NOTE: The cooktop burners will not function during the SelfCleaning cycle.
IMPORTANT:
- Oven temperature must be below 500°F (260°C) to program a Self-Cleaning cycle.
- Only 1 oven can be cleaned at a time.
- Both oven doors will lock when either oven is running the Self-Cleaning cycle.
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and popping sounds.
The Precise Clean™ Self-Cleaning cycle is a “one-touch” step that uses very high temperatures and dissolves soil to a powdery ash. The Precise Clean™ feature will automatically determine the length of cleaning time needed based on the number of times the oven has been used since the last Self-Cleaning cycle. The maximum clean time is 4 hours and the minimum clean time is 2 hours.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
The oven light is disabled during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at anytime, press CANCEL UPPER or CANCEL LOWER. If the temperature is too high, the oven doors will remain locked.
When “LOCK” shows in the display, the doors of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the doors, do not force the doors open when “LOCK” is displayed.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the doors are completely closed or the doors will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.
NOTE: Only one oven can use the Self-Cleaning cycle at a time and 12 hours must pass before the next Self-Cleaning cycle can begin.
The oven is preset for a 2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle; however, the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours for light soil and between 3 hours and 4 hours for average to heavy soil.Use the following chart as a guide to determine the desired cleaning level
