Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas fuel. When operating your range on natural gas, the flames from the burners should be blue in color. In addition, the flames should be stable, free of yellow tipping, excessive noise and lifting. However, this yellow tipping should be restricted to the primary flame kernels only. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to those substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or use of a ventilation fan or range hood.

COOKTOP OPERATION

Surface Burner Ignition

To light the surface burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to the “Hi” position. You will hear a clicking noise – the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.
Once burner ignition has been achieved, turn the burner control knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at “Hi”, it will continue to click.
NOTE: When one burner is turned to the “Hi” position, all the burners will spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. Do not touch any burner cap, burner base, or igniter while the igniters are sparking.
Heat Settings:

chocolate or butter.
Low| Melting large quantities.
Low-Medium| Low-temperature frying, simmering large quantities, heating milk, cream sauces, gravies.
Medium| Sautéing and browning, braising, pan-frying, maintaining slow boil on large quantities.
Medium – Hi| High-temperature frying, pan boiling, maintaining slow boil on large quantities.
Hi| Boiling liquid quickly, deep frying.

Simmer and Boil

• A smaller flame will give the best simmer results. Small flames offer precise cooking performance for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for cooking that need to cook over low heat for a long time.
• The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on your range. This setting should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling and pasta cooking.

Flame Size

• When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob.
• Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.
• The flame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial operation.

Power Failure

• If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five minutes for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.
• If the power fails, the surface burners can be lighted manually. Hold a lighted match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to “Hi”. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

Cooktop

• To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining, clean cooktop after each use, and wipe up acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has cooled.
• The sealed burners of your range are not secured to the cooktop and are designed to be removed. Boil overs or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The burners should be cleaned after each use.

Oven Vent

• Do not block the ducts at the rear of the range when cooking in the oven. It is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air into the oven burner never be interrupted. Avoid touching the vent opening or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation – they may become hot.

WARNING
FOOD SAFETY
According to the United States Department of Agriculture: DO NOT hold foods at temperatures between 40º F to 140º F more than 2 hours. Cooking raw foods below 275º F is not recommended.

WARNING
Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven. Never use this appliance as a storage space and storage cabinet areas

WARNING
Never use this appliance door or drawers such as stepping. Leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers may result in hazards and injuries.

Burner Grates

1. The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the grates may result in scratching of the cooktop and / or poor combustion.
2. Do not operate the burners without a pan or utensil on the grates

Oven Operation

WARNING
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil lining may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not use Aluminum Foil on any porcelain surface.
Doing so will cause damage the porcelain that affects the life of the porcelain.

Oven Function
Natural Airflow Bake occurs when heat is transferred into the oven from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity. Heat is then circulated by natural airflow.
This is a traditional bake setting.

Infrared Broil
The broil burner is located at the top of the oven. This burner heats the metal screen until it glows. The glowing screen produces the infrared heat, searing the outside of broiled foods and sealing in juices.

Convection Bake
Heat is transferred from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity to the oven cavity itself. The convection fan in the rear of the oven then circulates it. This convection process provides more even heat distribution throughout the oven cavity. Multiple rack use is possible for the large baking jobs. Convection cooking is faster, can be accomplished at lower temperatures and provides more even temperatures than regular cooking.

Convection Roast
The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Using the cover and broiler pan provided, heated air will be circulated over and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product, while at the same time creating a rich golden brown exterior. When convection roasting, it is important that you use the broiler pan for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and has a cover to prevent grease splatters.

Convection Defrost
With temperature control off, the motorized fan in the rear of the oven circulates air. The fan accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid illness and food waste, do not allow defrost food to remain in the oven for more than two hours without being cooked.

Convection Dehydrate
With the temperature control on 175º F, warm air is radiated from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Over a period of time, the water is removed from the food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes.

WARNING
BEFORE BAKING OR BROILING
The oven and broiler should be turned on to burn off the manufacturing oils. Turn the oven on to 450˚F (230˚C) for 20 to 30 minutes; then turn the oven knob to “Broil” for the same length of time. You may wish to turn on the ventilator above your range at this time

Broiler Operation

Note: Door must be closed during broiling operation.
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat directly under the infrared broiler in the oven. Broiling in the oven is accomplished with the oven door closed. It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be present to give the food a broiled flavor.

Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (Remove the broiler pan before preheating with the infrared broiler. Foods will stick on hot metal). To preheat, turn the “Oven” selector knob to the “Broil” position. Wait for the burner to become hot, approximately 2 minutes.
Preheating is not necessary when broiling meat well-done.

To Broil
Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Always pull the rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.

Setting Broil
The “Oven” selector knob controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage. The Broil feature temperature is 500˚F (260˚C). The broil pan and insert used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the oven broiler. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.

To set the oven to Broil:

1. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the food on the broiler pan insert
2. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan and position directly under the broil burner. If preheating the broil burner first, position the broiler pan after the broil burner is preheated.
3. Turn selector knob to Broil.

The oven indicator light will remain on until the selector knob is turned to the off position or the temperature control cycles off.

Griddle Operation

Before Using the Griddle

1. Clean the griddle thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove dust or any protective coating.
2. Rinse with clean water and wipe off to dry with soft, clean, lint-free towel/cloth.
3. A stainless steel cover that is sized to fit on top of the surface when the griddle is not being used is provided. Please note – the cover must be removed before turning the griddle on.
4. Make sure the grease tray is under the front edge of the griddle. Position the tray under the griddle overhang to catch grease or food residue.

Use of the Griddle

1. Push and turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the preferred cooking temperature.
2. Preheat the griddle for 10-12 minutes
3. When the griddle is preheated to the desired temperature, the indicator light will turn on.
4. Butter or cooking oil can be added for more flavor, then place the food to cook.

CAUTION: The surface of the griddle is hot after use. Please allow sufficient time for the griddle to cool prior to cleaning.
When using the appliance or the first time, the oven and broiler burners should be turned on to burn off the manufacture oils. Turn the oven on to 450℉ [230 ℃] for 20 to 30 minutes, then turn the oven control knob to “Broil” for the same length of time. It is recommended to turn on the vent hood above the range at this time
