Using Your Range

WARNING

Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to do so could result in death or fire. The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO. Push in and turn to setting. REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

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 the 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 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.
BAKING COOKIES AND LAYER CAKES ON 2 RACKS

Baking Layer Cakes
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use the Convect Bake function and racks 2 and 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.
Baking Cookies
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use the Convect Bake function and rack positions 2 and 5.

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO. Push in and turn to set.
REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

ALUMINUM FOIL
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 entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely. Care must be taken to prevent aluminum foil and meat probes from contacting heating elements.
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 cleaningresults. 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 it.
  3. Remove the bulb from the socket.
  4. Replace the bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle bulb. To avoid damage to or decrease the life of the new bulb, do not touch bulb with bare fingers.
  5. Replace the bulb cover by turning clockwise.
  6. Reconnect power.

IMPORTANT: Do not use lamps rated higher than 40 W.
SABBATH MODE:
