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 in the Owner’s Manual.
NOTE: Each round burner base is marked with a letter indicating the burner size. Alignment: Be sure to align the gas tube opening in the burner base with the orifice holder on the cooktop and the igniter electrode with the notch in the burner base.

• A. Burner cap
• B. Gas tube opening
• C. Burner base
• D. Igniter electrode
• E. Orifice holder

Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tubeopening 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.

• A. 1-11/2″ (2.5-3.8 cm)
• B. Burner ports

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. Do not wash in the dishwasher.

1. Remove the burner cap and the burner base and clean according to “General Cleaning” section in the Owner’s Manual.
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 base. Each round burner base is marked with a letter indicating the burner size. See the following illustration for burner positions.
   • A. Small (Auxiliary)
   • B. Large (Ultra Rapid)
   • C. Oval (OV)
   • D. Medium (Semi Rapid)
   • E. Large (Ultra Rapid)
5. Each round burner cap is marked with a letter indicating the burner size. Replace the burner cap, making sure it is properly aligned with the burner base. The burner cap should not rock or wobble when properly aligned.
   • A. Incorrect
   • B. Correct
   • IMPORTANT: The bottom of the small and medium caps are different. Do not put the wrong size burner cap on the burner base.
6. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap alignment. If the burner still does not light, turn off the burner.  Do not service the burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

Surface Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the proper position, the grates should be flush and level. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping or scratching of the cooktop. To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with the indentations in the cooktop.

• A. Bumpers
• B. Alignment indentations

The surface grates interlock using the hook on one end of the grate and the indent on the other. To remove the grates, lift the  rear of the left grate off the hook, and then lift the front of the rightgrate off the hook and pull apart. To replace the grates, replace the left grate first. Place the front indent of the right grate over the hook of the left grate, and then lift the rear of the left grate and place the indent over the hook on the right grate.

• A. Hook
• B. Indent

Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the gas flame.

Cookware
IMPORTANT: 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 coils. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on thesurfaces. Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum. 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.

Cookware/Characteristics

• Aluminum
  • Heats quickly and evenly.
  • Suitable for all types of cooking.
  • Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
  • May leave aluminum residues, which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.
• Cast iron
  • Heats slowly and evenly.
  • Good for browning and frying.
  • Maintains heat for slow cooking.
  • Rough edges or burrs may scratch the cooktop.
• Ceramic or Ceramic glass
  • Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Heats slowly, but unevenly.
  • Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.
  • May scratch the cooktop.
• Copper
  • Heats very quickly and evenly.
  • May leave copper residues, which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.
  • Can leave a permanent stain or bond to the cooktop if overheated.
• Earthenware
  • Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Use on low heat settings.
  • May scratch the cooktop.
• Porcelain enamel-onsteel or cast iron
  • See stainless steel or cast iron.
  • Porcelain enamel bakeware without the metal base may bond to the cooktop if overheated.
• Stainless steel
  • Heats quickly, but unevenly.
  • A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2″ (1.3 cm) outside the area.

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.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

Use the following illustrations and chart as a guide.

The oven has seven positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following table.

Flat Rack Position/Type of Food

• 7 Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers, steaks
• 6 Broiled meats, poultry, fish
• 3 or 4 Most baked goods, casseroles, frozen foods
• 2 Roasted meats
• 1 Large roasts or poultry

IMPORTANT: If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, therecessed ends must be placed in the rack position above the desired position of the food. See the following illustration.

• A. Ends of rack in position 3
• B. Food in position 2

IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks.  f a Max Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as shown in the previous figure.

Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2″ (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Multiple Rack Cooking

• Two-rack (non-convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.
• Two-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.
• Three-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 7 and a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 5.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast 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.
Power Preheat
Power Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard flat rack should be in the oven during Power Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Power Preheat. Press POWER PREHEAT and follow the oven control prompts, or, if preheating has already started, simply press POWER PREHEAT. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven and should be used only for onerack baking. When the power preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Power Preheat should be used only for one-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
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broilingtemperature. Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.

• For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may beVordered. See the Quick Start Guide for contact information.

NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
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.

During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil, and convection elements cycle on and off in intervals while the fan circulates the hot air. During convection broiling, the broil and  convection elements cycle on and off.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. With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature and/or a shorter cooking time than in a standard thermal oven. Use the following chart as a guide.

Convection Mode/Time/Temp. Guidelines

• Convection Bake 25°F (15°C) lower temperature, possible shortened cooking time
• Convection Roast Cooking time shortened by up to 30%
• Convection Broil Shortened cooking time

Convect Options

• Convect Bake – multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads, casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes
• Convect Roast – whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork roasts, beef roasts
• Convect Broil – thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, or poultry

Warming Drawer
The Warming Drawer is ideal for keeping hot cooked foods at serving temperature. It may also be used for warming breads and pastries. Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at the same time. For best results, do not hold foods longer than 1 hour. For smaller quantities, pizza or heat-sensitive foods, such as eggs, do not hold longer than 30 minutes. Food must be at serving temperature before being placed in the warming drawer. Breads, pastries and fruit pies may be heated from room temperature. Remove food from plastic bags, and place in oven-safe container. Cover foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not cover with plastic wrap. Empty serving dishes and ovenproof dishes can be heated while the warming drawer is preheating.
