ExtraLow® burners

The drawing shows that the control knob has an additional range after the XLO setting. When the knob is set within this range, the flame cycles off and on.

By varying the length of time the flame is off and on, the heat is reduced even further to cook delicate foods. For example, these very low settings are suitable for simmering and poaching, melting chocolate and butter, holding cooked foods at temperatures without scorching or burning, etc.

Operation of the ExtraLow® burners

• XLO, the very lowest setting, is achieved by cycling the flame on for approximately 10 seconds and off for 50 seconds of each minute.
• When the knob is set just below the XLO setting, the flame will cycle on for approximately 50 seconds and off for 10 seconds of each minute.
• To vary the amount of low heat to suit the food and quantity, the control can be set anywhere within the XLO range marked on the knob.

ExtraLow® techniques

• To maintain a low or simmer heat, bring food to a rolling boil. Stir well, then cover the pan and lower the heat to a setting just below XLO.
• If a large pan is used, the simmer action may occur mainly in the center of the pan. To equalize the temperature throughout the food, stir the food around the outer edges of the pan into the food in the center.
• It is normal to stir food occasionally while simmering. This is especially important when simmering for several hours, such as for a homemade spaghetti sauce or beans.
• If the setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the food back to a boil before re-setting to a higher heat.

POWERBOOST® (select models)

The POWERBOOST, or XHI, offers the convenience to quickly boil water, sear steaks, stir-fry vegetables, etc. Use of the LO and XLO remains the same as the other XLO knobs.

Meat probe

About the meat probe

The probe allows you more control over how your foods are cooked by automatically disabling the specified cooking mode when a dish's desired temperature, defined by the cook, has been reached. The probe expresses the current temperature of the meat as it cooks.

The following are the heating modes that work with the temperature probe:

• Bake
• Convection bake
• Roast
• Convection roast

The temperature probe will not work with the oven timer or with the end timer.

IMPORTANT:

• To avoid damaging your probe, DO NOT pull on the cable when trying to remove it from a dish.
• DO NOT use tongs or other instruments to pry on the probe when removing it or to ‘hammer’ the probe into a food dish.
• To prevent possible burns, wait until the oven has cooled before trying to remove the probe from the outlet.
• DO NOT store the probe inside the oven.

For best results

• To avoid damaging the probe, ensure that the meat is fully defrosted before inserting the probe.
• Insert the probe until its tip is rested in the center of the thickest, meatiest portion of the meat. Ensure that the probe does not touch bone, fat, or gristle.
• For poultry, the meat probe should be inserted into the interior thigh muscle.
• The probe should not touch any part of the cooking dish or parts of the oven, as this will affect the accuracy of the results.

To program the meat probe

1. Insert the plug end into the probe outlet in the oven wall and insert probe end into the meat.

2. Close the oven door.

3. Turn the MODE and TEMPERATURE knobs to your desired settings.

4. Press the right ( or ) to the desired internal temperature.

If you are unfamiliar with the laws of keeping food warm on the Sabbath, or cooking on the Holidays, please contact your Rabbi or refer to the Star K website.

You may operate this appliance on the Jewish Sabbath or the Jewish Holidays if used in accordance with the following knowledge:

About Sabbath mode – using the rangetop

• The STAR burners with the XLO® feature are controlled electronically. Therefore, when Sabbath mode is initiated, the STAR burners with the XLO feature are deactivated to ensure compliance.
• The standard gas burners without the XLO feature remain fully functional.
• The griddle and/or the grill are fully functional during Sabbath mode. However, to ensure compliance, they should not be operated.
• Gas STAR burners remain on during a power failure.
• The STAR burners are equipped with a re-ignition feature. The igniter will automatically re-light the STAR burner if the flame is blown out.
• During Yom Tov, a gas flame may not be ignited or turned off. However, the flame may be raised and lowered to adjust the temperature as required for cooking.
• During Sabbath, a gas flame may not be ignited, adjusted, or turned off. You may use a blech to conceal the flame, the lights, and the controls. DO NOT cover vent openings.
• When using a blech, use only one STAR burner at the lowest setting. Using multiple STAR burners may cause overheating, combustion issues, or damage to the appliance.

About Sabbath mode – using the oven(s)

• The oven maintains a constant temperature between 150°F and 475°F (66°C and 246°C) with the bake mode.
• Cooked dishes are kept warm for a minimum time of 30 minutes up to a maximum time of 74 hours without needing to switch the appliance on or off.
• All food should be placed in the oven before the Sabbath begins, since none may be placed in the oven during the Sabbath. Please note that easily perishable foodstuffs must not be left in the oven for too long.
• The oven temperature should not be turned on, adjusted, or turned off while observing Sabbath.
• The secondary oven is not operational during Sabbath mode.
• On the Sabbath, in lieu of a blech, the oven controls should be covered. Be careful not to cover vent openings.

Convection broil

About convection broil

Convection broil is similar to broil. It combines intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a convection fan.

Convection broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry, and fish. Convection broil is not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods. Always use convection broil with the door closed.

In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster.

Tips:

• Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
• Meat should be at least 1½'' thick. Use the broil pan and grid included with your oven.
• Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
• Turn meats (other than fish) once during the recommended cook time.

Convection bake

About convection bake

Convection bake is similar to bake. Heat comes from the lower heating element. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the appliance by the convection fan.

Tips:

• To convert most recipes for baked items (cookies, cakes, pies, etc.); reduce the oven temperature by 25°F.
• For meats and poultry, the temperature should not be reduced. The same temperature recommended in recipes and cooking charts for meats and poultry should be used.
• Low, shallow bakeware should be used with convection cooking. This allows the heated air to circulate around the food.
• When baking on more than one rack, cookie sheets should not be staggered; round cake pans should be staggered.
• Any food cooked uncovered will brown evenly and form a nice crust. Foods in covered dishes (casseroles, pot roast) or delicate custards do not benefit from convection cooking.
• For small items such as cookies, check to see if they are done one to two minutes before the recipe time. For larger baked items such as cakes, check five to six minutes before the time indicated on the recipe.
• Large meat or poultry items may cook up to 30 minutes less than the suggested time so check them so they will not be over baked.

Convection roast

About convection roast

Convection roast uses heat from the top and bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan.

The convection roast mode is well suited for preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry. The benefits of convection roast mode include:

• As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection modes.
• Rich, golden browning.

Tips:

• Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
• Check doneness early, since roasting time may decrease.
• Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
• Use the broil pan and grid provided with the oven for roasting. A shallow, uncovered pan can also be used.
• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.
• If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat to prevent over-browning.
• Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after removing it from the oven.

Keep warm

About keep warm

• The warm mode will keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature. ALWAYS start with hot food. DO NOT use this mode to heat cold food other than for crisping crackers, chips, and dry cereal.
• Serving dishes, plates, and cups may be kept warm with this mode.
• Food should be at serving temperature (above 140°F / 60°C) before being placed in the oven.
• Food may be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.
• Aluminum foil may be used to cover food. Use only heat-safe dishes.
• DO NOT open the oven door unnecessarily. Opening the door will reduce the temperature of the oven.
• When keeping cooked food warm, allow time for the oven to preheat before placing the item in the oven.

To set the keep warm mode

1. Turn the mode knob to KEEP WARM.
2. Turn the oven temperature knob to 150°F.
3. Place warmed dish in the oven and close the door.

Care and maintenance

Brand names

• The use of brand names is intended only to indicate a type of cleaner. This does not constitute an endorsement.
• The omission of any brand name cleaner does not imply its adequacy or inadequacy.
• Many products are regional in distribution and can be found in local markets.
• It is imperative that all cleaning products be used in strict accordance with the instructions on its package.

About self-clean

• The self-cleaning mode of your new range features pyrolytic self-cleaning. When set to the self-clean mode, the oven reaches a high temperature, approximately 850°F (454°C), that burns off the food soil.
• When the oven is set for self clean, the standard rangetop burners and the electric griddle and grill may be used. The burners having the ExtraLow® feature cannot be used.
• It is common to see smoke and/or flames during the clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.
• At the end of the clean cycle, some gray ash or burned residue may remain inside the oven. This is a mineral deposit that does not burn or melt. The amount of ash depends on how heavily soiled the oven was before it was cleaned. When the oven is cold, it is easily removed using a damp paper towel, sponge, or cloth.
