Operating Your Oven

Follow these steps to operate your oven:

2. Set the temperature.
3. Press Start.
4. Place food inside the oven once the set temperature is reached. Close the oven door.
5. (Optional) Enter time to cook.
6. The Cancel button can be used to cancel the function during or after cook time.

NOTE: For more detailed instructions on specific functions, see the online Control Guide.

Using Your Range

⚠️ WARNING

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.

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.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to Ignite. 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 Use the Burners:

1. Push in and turn the 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 the knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW.

REMEMBER: When the range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Power Failure Operation

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the knob counterclockwise to the Ignite position. After the burner lights, turn the knob to the desired setting.

Aluminum Foil Usage

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 the 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 position racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Illustrations show how to position oven racks for optimal baking results, including specific rack numbers for items like hamburger patties, layer cakes, and cookies. For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes. Side 1 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 41/2 to 51/2 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on Two Racks

Baking Layer Cakes:

For best results when baking cakes on two racks, use the Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 5, and a flat rack in rack position 2. If you do not have two flat racks, use a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 6. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 3" (7.6 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front cakes.

Baking Cookies:

For best results when baking cookies on two racks, use the Convection Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 5, and a flat rack in rack position 2. If you do not have two flat racks, use a flat rack in rack position 2 and a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 6. If you do not have Convection Bake, use the standard Bake function.

Burner Size

Select a burner that best fits your cookware. A chart illustrates different burner sizes (Small/Auxiliary, Medium/Semi Rapid, Oval, Wok, X-Large/Most Powerful) and their recommended uses, such as low-heat cooking, melting, general multipurpose use, and cooking with large cookware.

Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not place plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Diagram label 'A. Oven vent' indicates the location of the oven vent.

Oven Light

The oven light is a 40 W halogen bulb. Before replacing, make sure the oven and cooktop are cool and the control knobs are in the Off position.

To Replace the Oven Light:

1. Disconnect power.
2. Turn the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven counterclockwise to remove.
3. Remove bulb from socket.
4. Replace bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle bulb. To avoid damage to or decreasing the life of the new bulb, do not touch bulb with bare fingers.
5. Replace bulb cover by turning clockwise.
6. Reconnect power.

IMPORTANT:

Do not use lamps rated higher than 40 W.
