Using Your Range
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:
- 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.
- Turn knob to anywhere between High and Low.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-
Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot. Power™ Burner Feature
The front burner is designed to give maximum power when fully on. It can be
used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of food.
AccuSimmer ® Burner Feature
The AccuSimmer ® feature allows for more precise simmering and low
temperature cooking. It is the right rear burner.
POWER FAILURE
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually.
Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. After
the burner lights, turn knob to setting.
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.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow aluminum foil and meat probes to contact heating
elements.
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.
To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift out. Use the following illustrations as a guide.
Baking Layer Cakes on Two Racks
For best results when baking cakes on two racks, use the Bake function, a flat
rack in rack position 5, and a flat rack in rack position 2. If you do not
have two flat racks, use a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 6. Place
the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 3″ (7.6 cm) of space between
the front of the racks and the front cakes.
Baking Cookies
For best results when baking cookies on two racks, use the Convection Bake
function, a flat rack in rack position 6, and a flat rack in rack position 3.
If you do not have two flat racks, use a flat rack in rack position 2 and a
Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 6. If you do not have Convection
Bake, use the standard Bake function.
BURNER SIZE
Select a burner that best fits your cookware. See the following illustration
and chart.
| Burner Size | Recommended Use |
|---|---|
| Small | ■ Low-heat cooking |
■ Melting chocolate or butter
Medium| ■ Multipurpose burner
Oval| ■ Multipurpose burner
Large| ■ For large cookware
Extra-Large| ■ Most powerful burner
■ For large cookware
OVEN VENT
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be
blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent 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 vent.
OVEN LIGHT
The oven light is a 40 W halogen bulb. Before replacing, make sure the oven
and cooktop are cool and the
control knobs are in the Off position.
To Replace:
- Disconnect power.
- Turn the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven counterclockwise to remove.
- Remove bulb from socket.
- Replace bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle bulb. To avoid damage to or decreasing the life of the new bulb, do not touch bulb with bare fingers.
- Replace bulb cover by turning clockwise.
- Reconnect power.
IMPORTANT: Do not use lamps rated higher than 40 W.
WI-FI CONNECT
Press and hold CONNECT while your router’s WPS indicator light is blinking to
connect your range to your Wi-Fi network. See the Internet Connectivity Guide
section in the Owner’s Manual for more detailed instructions. You may also
