Sealed Surface Burners

A. Burner cap
B. Burner base
C. Alignment pins
D. Igniter
E. Gas tube opening
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.
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 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.

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.

Griddle

To Use the Griddle:

Locate the griddle on the right side grate as shown. The locating feet on the bottom of the griddle will engage the grate tines to keep the griddle from sliding.
Before each use, brush on a thin layer of cooking oil to keep food from sticking. Cooking sprays may leave a sticky residue on the griddle that is hard to remove.
Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes. Preheating the griddle slowly will ensure even heat distribution and will avoid warping the griddle.
For preheating and cooking, set the front burner to the lowest heat setting and the rear burner to Medium-High heat for best performance.

NOTE: The griddle may also be used on the left side grate. For best results, the rear burner setting should be set to Medium-Low or Medium, and the front burner setting should be set to Low.

To Clean the Griddle:

Let the griddle cool, and then empty the drip tray.
See the “General Cleaning” section of your Owner’s Manual for cleaning instructions.
Store griddle in a cool dry place.

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 the grates.
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.

Do not clean the roll-out rack in the dishwasher. It may remove the rack’s lubricant and affect its ability to slide.
See the “General Cleaning” section in your Owner’s Manual for more information.

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.

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, 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.
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 be ordered. Please refer to the Quick Start Guide for contact information.

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 the surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.
During the convection cooking, the bake, broil and convection (true convection only) elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.
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 or by using the EasyConvect™ Conversion feature on your range.

BowTie True Convection with T.H.E.™ Element

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

EasyConvect™ Conversion

Convection cooking temperatures and times can differ from those of standard cooking. Depending upon the selected category, EasyConvect™ Conversion automatically reduces the standard recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking.
Foods are grouped into 3 general categories. Choose the category most appropriate for the food to be cooked. Use the following chart as a guide.

To Use:

NOTE: For best results, preheat your oven to the desired temperature prior to using EasyConvect™ Conversion. After preheating is complete, press OFF LOWER before using EasyConvect™ Conversion.

Press EASY CONVECT until the desired option (MEATS, BAKED GOODS or OTHER) is displayed.
Press START.
Press number pads to enter standard cook temperature, and then press START.
Press number pads to enter standard cook time, and then press START.
Place the food in the oven.
Check food for doneness before the stop time is reached. If food will not be done when the stop time is reached, add more cooking time before time elapses. See “Cook Time” section. At the end of the stop time, the oven will automatically turn off.
Press OFF LOWER when finished.
Remove food from the oven.

Slow Cook

Recommended Temperature Range:

4 hour cook time = 250°F to 300°F (120°C to 150°C)
8 hour cook time = 200°F to 250°F (93°C to 120°C)
12 hour cook time = 170°F to 226°F (77°C to 108°C)

To Use Slow Cook:

Before using Slow Cook, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

Place food in the oven.

Press START.
Preheating” will show in the display until the set temperature is reached. When a minimum oven temperature is reached, the oven display will show the temperature increasing. A single tone will sound when the set temperature is reached.
Press OFF for the selected oven when finished.

Proofing Bread

Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Standard Proof should be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first and second rise. Rapid Proof (on some models) operates at a slightly higher temperature than Standard Proof, and it can be used for the second rise of formed dough.

To Proof:

Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place in position 2, and then close the oven door.
