COOKTOP FEATURES

BURNERS

WARNING: 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.

BTU/Hr	BURNER APPEARANCE	FEATURES
Ultra Power™ dual-flame burner		This burner has an upper and lower level of flame. The Power HI setting uses both flame levels at full power to provide the highest heat. It is ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, and using large pots and pans. The Simmer HI and LO settings use the upper flame only
Medium burner		This burner is ideal for cooking smaller quantities of food and melting chocolate or butter.
Simmer burner		This burner reaches a low of 500 BTU/hr. It provides the gentle, low temperatures required for simmering soups, stewing, and melting delicate ingredients like butter, cheese, and chocolate.

Igniting Burners:

• Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LITE.
• Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without any cookware on the grate.
• Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown 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.
• When the control knobs for any small or medium burner are turned to the LITE position, all small and medium burners will click. When the control knob for the large burner is turned to the LITE position, these burners will click independent of the other burners. In both cases, only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or during the Self Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Reignition Feature

During cooktop use, if one or more burners are extinguished due to external causes (such as a water spill, wind, or ventilation draft), the ignition system will turn on to reignite the flame. When the flame comes back on, the system will stop sparking. If the draft in the room is not removed, occasional sparking may continue. Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the low setting on a burner.

To Set a Burner:

1. Push in and turn counterclockwise to LITE.

2. Turn knob counterclockwise between HI and LO.

Push in one more time to get from LO to HI.

In Case of Power Failure

Hold a lit match near a burner, and turn knob counterclockwise to HI. After burner lights, turn knob to the desired setting.

Sealed Surface Burners

Sealed surface burners are designed to minimize gaps and seams that can allow liquids and spills to get under the cooktop. This design makes cleanup quick and easy.

Stacked Power Burner

Medium Burner

Simmer/Melt Burner

1. Bunner cap
2. Bunner base
3. Choke (for use with medium burner, propane only)

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 “Care and Cleaning” section.

Gas opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas 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 opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas opening by always using a burner cap.

1. 1-1 ½ " (2.5-3.8 cm)
2. Bunnre ports

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown above. 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.

GRILL (ON SOME MODELS)

The grill module consists of a cast-iron grate, a wave tray, a flame spreader, a burner assembly, 2 grease trays and a drip tray.

1. Grill grate
2. Wave tray
3. Burner assembly
4. Flame spreader
5. Grease trays
6. Drip tray

When using the grill, follow the guidelines below:

• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
• Allow space between food on the grill. Crowding food will result in uneven cooking.
• Use a metal spatula or tongs to turn food.
• Steaks, chops and hamburgers should be turned only once to avoid loss of juices.
• For even cooking, foods such as chicken quarters should be turned several times.
• To check for doneness of meats and poultry, use an instant read thermometer or make a small cut in the center of the food. This will avoid loss of juices.
• Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
• To avoid damage to the grill, do not use aluminum foil, charcoal or wood chips.
• To avoid damage to cookware, do not place cookware on the grill when in use. Food should be cooked directly on the grill grate.

To Use:

1. Turn on overhead range hood.

2. Apply vegetable oil, if desired. Apply a light coating of vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray to grill grate.

3. Push in and turn knob to LITE/HI. The flame will ignite in 1-4 seconds.

4. Turn knob to MED and allow grill to preheat for 15 minutes.

5. Turn knob to desired cook setting.

6. Place food on grill.

CHROME ELECTRIC GRIDDLE (ON SOME MODELS)

The chrome electric griddle provides the perfect cooking surface for grilled sandwiches, pancakes, eggs, burgers, sautéed vegetables, and many more family favorites. The attractive low-stick surface is designed to make cleanup easy.

1. Griddle
2. Drip tray

The chrome electric griddle system provides an evenly heated cooking surface.

• Be sure plastic film has been removed, and wash with hot water before first use.
• To avoid scratching the griddle, do not place any pots or pans on the griddle. Use only heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils.
• The griddle surface is ready to use and does not need to be seasoned.
• Pouring cold water on a hot griddle may warp the griddle, resulting in an uneven cooking surface.

To Use:

1. Position drip tray.

2. Push in and turn knob.

3. Place food on griddle, and cook to desired doneness.

The griddle light will turn off when the griddle has finished preheating. The griddle light will turn on and off during use to indicate that the griddle element is maintaining the selected surface temperature.

DOOR EXTERIOR

Apply cleaner.

Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on panel, or use affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner (not included).

DOOR INTERIOR

1. Wipe away any deposits.

Use a damp sponge.

2. Use Self-Cleaning cycle

OVEN RACKS

1. Empty out oven and remove racks.

Remove broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

IMPORTANT: Remove racks before the Self-Cleaning cycle to avoid discoloring and difficulty sliding.

2. Use steel-wool pad.

OVEN CAVITY

• Do not use oven cleaners.
• Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain and staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result.

SELF-CLEANING THE OVEN

WARNING: Burn Hazard

• Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
• Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

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.
• Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
• 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.
• Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.

Prepare Oven:

1. Empty out oven and remove racks.

Remove broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

IMPORTANT: Remove racks before the Self-Cleaning cycle to avoid discoloring and difficulty sliding.

2. Remove any foil from oven.

Foil may burn or melt, damaging the oven.

3. Hand clean

With a damp cloth, hand clean the inside door edge and 1½" (3.8 cm) of the area around the inside oven cavity frame. Be certain not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on doorframe.

4. Wipe out loose soil.

Wiping out soil reduces smoke and avoids damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.

Prepare Cooktop:

Remove plastic items.

Plastic items may melt.

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 Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.

The oven is preset for a 5 hour clean cycle; however, the time can be changed.

Use the following chart as a guide to determine the desired cleaning level:

Once the oven has completely cooled:

• Remove ash with a damp cloth.
• If soil remains after wiping, that means the length of the clean cycle was not long enough for the amount of soil in the oven. Repeat the self-clean cycle if desired, or the soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.
• To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
• The oven lights will not light during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

To Self-Clean:

1. Press SEFT CLEAN.

2. Select cleaning level. To set a cleaning level other than 4 hours, press SELF CLEAN until the desired time is reached.

To Delay Start (optional):

3. Press STOP TIME.

4. Enter desired stop time.

5. Press START.

6. Press any button or open door to clear the oven display

To Stop Self-Clean any time:

Press OFF.

If the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.

OVEN LIGHTS

The oven lights are 120-volt, 25-watt maximum halogen bulbs. They will come on when the oven door is opened.

On 48" (121.9 cm) ranges, both the left and right oven lights turn on or off when OVEN LIGHT is touched. The oven lights will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle. When the oven door is closed, touch OVEN LIGHT to turn light on or off.

To Replace:

Before replacing the bulb, make sure the oven is OFF and cool.

1. Disconnect power.

2. Remove glass light cover. Grasp the front edge and pull away from the oven.

3. Remove bulb from socket.

4. Use a tissue or wear cotton gloves to handle the bulb. To avoid damage or decreasing the life of the new bulb, do not touch bulb with bare fingers.

5. Replace bulb cover. Snap bulb cover back into wall.

6. Reconnect power.
