COOKTOP USE

WARNING 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.

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 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 HI and LO.

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

Power Failure
In case of a prolonged power failure, the surface burners cannot be lit manually. No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure.

Sealed Surface Burners

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

Burner Cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover, and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the

“General Cleaning” section.

Gas Tube Opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube opening by always using a burner cap.

Burner Ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the burner ports.

To Clean:

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF and the cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust removers.

  1. Remove the burner cap and the burner base, and clean according to “General Cleaning” section.
  2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
  3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist.
  4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap.
  5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
Grates

The grates on this range cover the full width of the cooktop. The two grates may interlock (on some models), using the hook formed into one end of both grates. The flat end of one grate drops onto the hook on the other grate as shown in the following illustration.

On some models, the two grates are identical and can be used on either the left or right side of the cooktop. Grates that are designed for use on only one side of the cooktop will have either “LEFT” or “RIGHT” embossed on the bottom side of the grate.

Burner Size

Select a burner that best fits your cookware. See the following illustration and chart.

Cookware

I MPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element, or surface burner. Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred which affects cooking results. Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler. Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

For best results, the cookware should be centered above the burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

  • Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
  • Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
  • For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

OVEN USE

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

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.

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.
  • Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least 1/2″ (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil element.

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

Rack Positions – Upper Oven ****

Rack Positions – Lower Oven

For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior in the lower oven, use a flat rack in rack position 5. Side 1 should cook for approximately 21/2 to 31/2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

Multiple Rack Cooking

2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4 for regular baking.
2-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 2 and 4 for convection baking.

Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use rack positions 2 and 4 with the Convection Bake function. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.

Baking Cookies on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use rack positions 2 and 4 with the Bake function.

Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2″ (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.

Oven Vents

The oven vents release hot air and moisture from the ovens and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vents 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 vents.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating
When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Rapid Preheat. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for single-rack baking.

Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.

NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non- convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.

Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and Bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during Bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use. Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Broiling

Close the oven door while broiling. No preheating is necessary. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.

NOTE : Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled. Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information. On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.

Lower Oven Convection Cooking

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture, and yielding crustier breads.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed.

NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.

Position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section before starting convection cooking. With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature or for a shorter length of time. These adjustments can be made using the following chart.

Bow Tie True Convection
True convection adds an electric element around the convection fan to enhance the cooking performance. Use the following Convect Options chart as a guide.

RANGE CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle

WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well- ventilated room. Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke. Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see “Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section. Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.

Prepare Range:

  • Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all cooking utensils, oven racks, and aluminum foil, and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
  • Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 11/2″ (38 mm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket.
  • Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.
  • Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.

NOTE: The cooktop burners will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

IMPORTANT:

  • Oven temperature must be below 500°F (260°C) to program a clean cycle.
  • Only 1 oven can be cleaned at a time.
  • Both oven doors will lock when either oven is running the Self-Cleaning cycle.

How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and popping sounds.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash. Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled. The oven light is disabled during the Self-Cleaning cycle. To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at anytime, press CANCEL UPPER or CANCEL LOWER. If the temperature is too high, the oven doors will remain locked.

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. For additional information, you can visit our website at www.maytag.com. In Canada, visit our website at www.maytag.ca. Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.

EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some models)
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

Cleaning Method:

  • Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner, or nonabrasive scrubbing pad:
    Gently clean around the model/serial/rating plate because scrubbing may remove numbers.

  • affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included):
    See the “Accessories” section for more information.

STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)
NOTE: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Cleaner, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels. Damage may occur to stainless steel surfaces, even with one-time or limited use.

Cleaning Method:
Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.

  • affresh® Stainless Steel Cleaner Part Number W10355016 (not included): See the “Accessories” section for more information.

METALLIC PAINT (on some models)
Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaners with bleach, rust removers, ammonia, or sodium hydroxide (lye) because paint surface may stain.

PORCELAIN-COATED GRATES AND CAPS
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates, and caps are cool. These spills may affect the finish. To avoid chipping, do not bang grates and caps against each other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware. Do not reassemble caps on burners while wet.

Cleaning Method:

  • Nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive cleanser:
    Clean as soon as cooktop, grates, and caps are cool.

  • Dishwasher (grates only, not caps):
    Use the most-aggressive cycle. Cooked-on soils should be soaked or scrubbed before going into a dishwasher.

  • Gas Grate and Drip Pan Cleaner Part Number 31617A (not included):
    See the “Accessories” section for more information.

SURFACE BURNERS

  • See “Sealed Surface Burner” section.

COOKTOP CONTROLS
To avoid damage to the cooktop controls, do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers, or oven cleaner. To avoid damage, do not soak knobs. When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the OFF position. On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.

Cleaning Method:

  • Soap and water:
    Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove.

CONTROL PANEL AND OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR
To avoid damage to the control panel, do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels.

Cleaning Method:

  • Glass cleaner and soft cloth or sponge: Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on panel.
  • affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See the “Accessories” section for more information.

OVEN RACKS Cleaning Method:

  • Steel-wool pad
  • For racks that have discolored and are harder to slide, a light coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help them slide.

OVEN CAVITY
Do not use oven cleaners. Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain and staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result.

Cleaning Method:

  • Clean cycle:
    See the “Self-Cleaning Cycle” section.
Oven Lights

The oven lights are standard 40-watt appliance bulbs. Before replacing, make sure the oven and cooktop are cool and the control knobs are in the OFF position.

To Replace:

  1. Unplug range or disconnect power.
  2. Turn the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven counterclockwise to remove.
  3. Turn bulb counterclockwise to remove from socket.
  4. Replace bulb and then bulb cover by turning clockwise.
