Cooktop cleaning tips

• 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 is cooled.
• The sealed burners of your range are not secured to the cooktop and are designed to be removed easily. Boil overs or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The burners should be cleaned after each use.

Oven Light
The oven light is controlled by a push switch on the control panel. The light can be used while cooking or cleaning the oven.

WARNING
Before replacing the oven light, make sure power is disconnected from the electrical box and the oven is cooled completely. Disassemble the light cover and replace the light bulb with a 25-watt halogen bulb. Install the light cover properly.

Oven Operation

Temperature gauge

1. The gauge shows the oven temperature in both CELSIUS degree and FAHRENHEIT degree.
2. Correct reading can be obtained when the temperature inside the oven is steady.
3. The mechanical thermometer is sleeplessly adjustable, and the temperature setting operation may not accurately correspond to the dial. For the temperature, please refer to the temperature indicated on the knob.

Oven Ignition
The oven is equipped with an ignition system which contains pilot flame function and safety device. To light up the oven burner, push and turn the oven control knob anti-clockwise to reach IGNITE position and hold it. You will hear a clicking noise – the sound of ignition pin sparking. Hold the knob until you can see the pilot flame on. To light up the broil burner, push and turn the oven control knob clockwise to “Broil” position and hold it. You will hear a clicking noise – the sound of ignition pin sparking. Hold the knob until you can see the burner is lighted up.
DO NOT RELEASE the knob before you can see the flame comes up. If fail to light up the oven burner within 10 seconds, reset the oven control knob to the “OFF” position, repeat above operations until the oven burner is properly ignited.

IMPORTANT
Safety device is equipped with the oven burner. When the flame goes out by accident, the gas supply will be shut off automatically. You need to turn the control knob back to the “OFF” position and ignite again.

WARNING
If fail to light up the oven burner 3 times continuously, the oven might full of the gas, then open the oven door to allow gas dissipating before operating ignition again. Otherwise, the oven may explode and the user will get hurt.

1. 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. The aluminum foil lining may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
   Do not use aluminum foil on any porcelain surface. Doing so will damage the porcelain and affect its durability.

2. Position the racks before preheating the oven. For fast exhausting the smell of “burning” or “oily” odor emitting from a new oven, turn the oven knob to “Broil” and run for 30 minutes before initial use.

Preheating
Allow the oven to preheat before placing food in the oven. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Remove the broiler pan before preheating with the infrared broiler. Foods will stick on hot metal. To preheat, turn the “Oven” control knob to the “Broil” position. Wait for the burner to become hot, approximately in 2 minutes.
Note : Condensation or fogging on the inside of the oven door glass is normal while preheating and it will usually evaporate by the end of the preheating cycle

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.

Convection Bake (For some models have convection fan.)
Heat is transferred from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity to the oven cavity itself. The convection fan at the rear of the oven then circulates it. This convection process provides a more even heat distribution throughout the oven cavity. Using multiple racks is possible for large-batch baking. Convection cooking is faster, can be done at lower temperatures and provides more even temperatures than regular cooking.

Convection Roast (For some models have convection fan.)
The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Using the cover and broiler pan (not provided), heated air will be circulated over the 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.

Broiler Operation
Note: Door must be closed during broiling operation.
The broil burner is located at the top of the oven. This burner heats the metal screen until it glows. The glowing screen produces heat, searing the outside of broiled foods and sealing in juices. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat directly under the broiler in the oven. Oven broiling is done with the oven door closed. It is normal and even necessary to have some smoke to give the food a broiled flavor

Setting Broil
Turn the oven control knob clockwise to select the Broil function. When broiling, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler. The temperature of Broil feature is 500˚F (260˚C).
Used together, the broil pan and insert (not included) 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 insert on the broiler pan. Then place the food on the pan insert.
2. Adjust the interior oven rack to the desired position and place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the pan and position it directly under the broil burner. (If preheating is needed, put in the pan after the broil burner reaches the temperature.)
3. Turn the control knob to Broil setting position.
   The oven indicator will remain on until the control knob is turned to the OFF position or the temperature control cycles off. Position the rack at the correct level. The farther away the food is from the broiler, the more well done it will be inside. Preheating the oven is not necessary. Push in and turn the knob to BROIL. Turn the food over at the halfway point. Always pull the rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.

Oven Cleaning Tips

1. After each use, and once the oven is cooled, clean splatters and spills immediately.
2. Do not allow foods with a high sugar or acid content to remain on the oven cavity surface.
3. Use an oven cleaner to clean the oven cavity.

Oven Steam Clean Function:

1. Remove all racks and oven accessories.
2. Scrape or wipe loose debris and grease from the oven bottom.
3. Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven bottom. Close oven door.
4. Use the oven bake function, turn the knob to the temperature 300˚F.
5. Wait about 5 minutes, then turn off the oven burner and let the steam full of the oven to help to clean the cavity.

Oven Thermostat & Cooking time
The numbers printed on the control panel indicate the oven temperature setting value (°F). To set the temperature, adjust the control knob indicator to line up with the desired number on the control panel.
Note: The BROIL function is only for turning on the broil burner.
Cooking times can vary according to the type of food, its density and its size. It is advisable to watch when cooking for the first time and to check results since similar results are obtained when preparing the same dishes under the same conditions. Use the thermostat to control the temperatures, and control the time according to the cooking guides.

Thermostat is equipped in the oven, when the oven temperature reaches the setting, the oven temperature will stay relatively stable. Actual oven temperature can be read from the gauge on the control panel.
