Using Your Range

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.

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.

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 High and Low.

REMEMBER: When the range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Burner Features

• Power™ Burner: The front burner is designed to give maximum power when fully on. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of food.
• AccuSimmer® Burner: The AccuSimmer feature allows for more precise simmering and low-temperature cooking. It is the right rear burner.

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 to IGNITE. After the burner lights, turn knob to setting.

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.

• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.

To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustrations as a guide.

For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately 2.5 to 3.5 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

Baking Layer Cakes on Two Racks: 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 6, and a flat rack in rack position 3. 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. See the following illustration and chart.

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 set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near 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:

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.
