TIMED COOKINGS

WARNING: Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

NOTE: Only one of Cook Time and End Time can be used at a time.

COOKTOP USE

Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.

IGNITION AND OPERATION OF THE BURNERS

To ignite a burner, push down on the burner knob and rotate it counterclockwise until the knob indicator is aligned with the ignite icon. Release the knob and adjust the flame intensity by further rotating the knob counterclockwise from MAX (maximum) to MIN (minimum).

NOTE: For models with a flame failure safety device - Once the flame is lit, hold the knob depressed for about 3-4 seconds until the device keeps the burner automatically lit. If the burner fails to ignite, wait one minute for the gas to dissipate before attempting to reignite.

To turn off the burner, rotate the knob clockwise until the indicator on the knob is aligned with OFF.

POWER FAILURE

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise until the indicator is aligned with MAX. After the burner is lit, turn knob to desired setting.

In the case of unintentional flame extinguishing, the safety valve intervenes by shutting off the gas to the burners.

The electric igniter must not be actuated for longer than 15 seconds. Should the burner not light, or should the burner be unintentionally turned off, immediately close the burner, and wait at least 1 minute before repeating. Once ignited, adjust the flame as desired.

COOKWARE

MATCH PAN DIAMETER TO FLAME SIZE

For lower gas consumption and a better result, use saucepans with a diameter matching the diameter of the burner, to avoid the flame coming up around the sides of the saucepan. See the Container Table. Use only flat-bottomed pans.

As soon as liquid starts to boil, turn the flame down to a level sufficient to maintain boiling.

The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the pan. Oversized pans that span two burners are placed front to rear, not side to side.

USE BALANCED PANS

Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking. Center the pan over the burner.

USE A LID THAT FITS PROPERLY

A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time. Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.

Diagrams illustrating proper and improper pan usage:

CONTAINER TABLE
Burner Min Saucepan Max Saucepan
Auxiliary 3.5" (9.0 cm) 6.3" (16 cm)
Semi-rapid 5.1" (13 cm) 7.1" (18 cm)
Rapid 5.9" (15 cm) 10.2" (26 cm)
Triple ring 8.3" (21 cm) 10.2" (26 cm)

OVEN USE

WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Reset all controls to the OFF position after using a programmable timing operation. No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during power failure.

An air curtain or other overhead range hood, which operates by blowing a downward airflow onto a range shall not be used in conjunction with a gas range.

OVEN CONTROLS

The Thermostat knob and Cooking-mode knobs are used together to select Oven Modes.

Thermostat (°F): Controls the oven temperature. Ranges from 140°F to 500°F.

Cooking Mode: Selects the cooking function (Light, Convection Fan, Bake, Broil).

THERMOSTAT KNOB

Push in on the Thermostat knob, and then turn the knob to any baking temperature or broil to automatically ignite the bake burner or the broil burner.

Bake

THERMOSTAT RANGE: 140°F (60°C) TO MAX 500°F (260°C)

The Bake mode uses heat from the lower element to cook food. When using this mode to prepare baked goods such as cakes, cookies and pastries, always preheat the oven first and place food centrally near the middle racks.

Broil

THERMOSTAT RANGE: Broil

The Broil mode uses intense heat from the upper element to sear foods. Ideal for toasting, melting cheese, browning and searing surface. Food should be placed near the upper racks, and should not be cooked for too long on each side of the food. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

NOTE: Except for timed cooking, the oven will remain on until the Thermostat knob is returned to the OFF position.

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Bake

Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements in the oven are used to heat the air but no fan is used to circulate the heat.

Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time and rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and the size, shape and finish of the baking utensil.

COOKTOP PROBLEMS

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Burner will not ignite There is no power to the range. Make sure electrical plug is plugged into a live, properly grounded outlet. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Burner will not operate First time use. Air still in the gas line. Turn on any one of the surface burner knobs to release air from the gas lines.
Control knob is not set correctly. Push in knob before turning to a setting.
The burner port is clogged. Clean burner port opening using a stiff, nylon toothbrush or a straightened paper clip.
Burner Flames are uneven, yellow and/or noisy Burner port(s) are clogged. Clean burner port opening using a stiff, nylon toothbrush or a straightened paper clip.
Burner caps are not positioned properly. Place burner caps so that the alignment pins are properly aligned with the slots.
Burner flame is too high or too low Propane gas is being used. The range should be converted to LP gas by a qualified technician.
Cooktop gas supply is not correct. Ensure the range is set for the correct gas type. It is factory set for natural gas. If connecting to LP gas, the burners should be converted to LP gas with the orifice kit supplied and the pressure regulator converted to the LP gas setting by a qualified technician.
The gas pressure is not correct. Make sure the pressure regulator is installed correctly and the gas line pressure is correct. See Installation Instructions.
Burner makes popping noises The burner is wet. Allow the burner to dry before using.

Excessive heat around cookware on cooktop The cookware is not the proper size for the burner. Use cookware with a bottom surface approximately the same size as the cooking area and burner. Cookware should not extend more than 1" (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area. Adjust the flame so that it does not come up around the cookware.
Cooking results are not what expected Using incorrect cookware. See the "Cookware" section.
The control knob is not set to the proper heat level. See the "Controls" section.

OVEN PROBLEMS

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
