COOKTOP USE

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 while the grate is unoccupied.

Cooktop Controls

To Set

Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. All 4 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. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self- Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

NOTE: On self-cleaning models, the cooktop will not operate when the range is in a self-cleaning mode.

To Clean
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.

Power™ Burner (on some models)
The left front burner is designed to give ultra-high power when it is fully on. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of food.

ACCUSIMMER® Burner (on some models)
The right rear burner has an adjustable heat setting for more precise simmering and low temperature cooking. 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 burner lights, turn knob to setting.

Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

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

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.
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. Protect it from spillovers by always using a burner cap
Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown above. 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 oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.

Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean according to “General Cleaning” section.
Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
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.
Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap.
Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

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.
Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
For more information, contact your local agricultural department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

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 grates. 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 cooktop or grates. 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. Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door may cause burner cycling to give incorrect readings. The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius. A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. The absence of a sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration

Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display shows the current calibration, for example “0°F CAL” or “00.”
Press the TEMP or TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad(s) to increase or to decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30°F (15°C) and -30°F (-15°C).
Press START or START/ENTER.

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.

Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the oven bottom finish.

• On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover the oven bottom vents.
• Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely for best cooking results.
• To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least ½” (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

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 NOTES

Position racks before turning on the oven.
Do not move racks with bakeware on them.
Make sure racks are level. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out. Use the following illustration and chart as a guide.

BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2″ (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the followina chart as a guide.

Split Oven Rack (on some models)
Split-Rack with Removable Insert
The split-rack with removable insert is a space maximizer. When the two are attached, they make a full rack. The insert can also be removed to provide room for large items such as a turkey and casseroles. Do not place more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on the split- rack. The insert can also be used on the counter for a cooling rack.

If you would like to purchase a split-oven rack, one may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number 4396927.

To Use Racks

Place a full rack on position 1 or 2, and the split-rack on position 3 or 4.
Place large items on the right side of the full rack.
Place deeper, covered dishes on the left side of the full rack.
Place shallow dishes on the split-rack.
When finished cooking, slowly remove items.

Bakeware
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

Meat Thermometer
On models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat, poultry and fish. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.

Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat ½” (1.3 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.
Check all meat, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places.

Oven Vent

M. Over 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.

Baking and Roasting

ACCUBAKE® DUO SYSTEM® Temperature Management (on some models)
The ACCUBAKE® DUO SYSTEM® temperature management technology uses two sensors to maintain even temperatures. The two temperature sensors independently control the bake and broil burners for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil cycle on and off in intervals. 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 conditioning time to end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.

To Bake or Roast:

Press BAKE.
Press TEMP or TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a temperature other than 350ºF (175°C) in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500ºF (75°C and 260°C). When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F (77°C), no preheat conditioning time will be shown in the display. The preheat conditioning time will not change if the temperature is reset before the countdown time ends.
Press START or START/ENTER. The temperature can be changed after this step. The start pad does not need to be pressed again. If baking and roasting while the minute timer is counting dressing BAk mperature can be seen for 5 seconds by pressing BAKE.
Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished.

Preheating
After the start pad is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat conditioning. “PrE” (on some models) and the countdown time will appear on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display. Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ due to the cycling of the burners. Waiting an additional 10 minutes, after the preheat conditioning time ends, to put food in the oven is suggested when baking foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda and eggs.

Choice Bake® Function (on some models)
The CHOICE BAKE® function minimizes the top heat during oven cooking. It is ideal for baking pies, casseroles and breads, and for roasting foods that require longer and slower cook times such as poultry and roasts. Similar to the baking and roasting function, the bake and broil burners cycle on and off at intervals during the CHOICE BAKE® cycle. However, the cycle duration for the broil burner is much shorter during the CHOICE BAKE® cycle. This reduces top browning of foods and gives you more customized control of your baking results.

To Use

Press CHOICE BAKE® function. Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a temperature other than 350°F (175°C) in 10° amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (75°C and 260°C).
Press START or START/ENTER. The temperature can be changed after this step. Start does not need to be pressed again.
Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.

Broiling
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (provided on some models). They are designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If your model does not have a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number 4396923.
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door. To Broil: 1. Press CUSTOM BROIL. 2. Press START or START/ENTER. 3. Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished.

To Custom Broil:

Press CUSTOM BROIL.
Press TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad to change the temperature in 5°F (5°C) amounts. The broil range can be set between 300°F (150°C) and HI (525°F [275°C]).
Press START or START/ENTER.
Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished.

BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3″ (7 cm) or more from the broil burner. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual tastes. Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

Warm Hold Feature (on some models)

WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before placing it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to 1 hour; however, breads and casseroles may become too dry if left in the oven during Warm Hold. Warm Hold Feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at serving temperature. It can also be used at the end of a timed cook.

To Use Automatic Warm Hold Feature
At the end of a timed cook, either with or without a delayed start, or at the end of a sequence program in which the last step is not the Warm Hold mode, the oven will automatically default to a 1-hour warm hold mode at 170°F (77°C). When the cook time ends or the last step of the sequence is complete, the display will show a warming countdown time. When warming ends, the oven will automatically shut off and “End” will appear on the display. Four tones will sound, and then four 1-second reminder tones will sound every minute thereafter.

To Disable Automatic Warm Hold: Press and hold WARM for 5 seconds. “Off” will appear in the 4- digit display. Repeat to turn back on. When using the Automatic Warm Hold Feature, cook times may need to be adjusted accordingly so that foods do not become overcooked and dry.

Sequence Programming allows you to program up to 4 cooking functions at one time. Other oven functions, such as the Timer and Warming Drawer, may be used when a sequenced Program is running. All steps of a sequenced program must be programmed with a stop time. If a stop time is not entered for a step in the sequence program, and the FIRST/NEXT STEP pad is pressed, 3 tones will sound prompting you to enter a stop time.

Sequence Programming takes precedence over any nonsequenced cooking function. For example, if an untimed Bake function is in process and a sequence program is started, the untimed Bake function will be canceled, and the program sequence will start.

Example – Sequence Programming To Program the First Step of the Sequence:

Press FIRST/NEXT STEP. “PROGRAM” and “STEP” will appear on the display. A flashing “1” will also appear on the display, indicating that Step 1 is being programmed.
Press BAKE, or any other desired cooking function.
Press TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad (if desired) to select a temperature other than the one displayed.
Press START TIME, then HR and MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads to set the time of day for the first cooking function to begin. For example, 1:00. If START TIME is not pressed, then the sequence of cooking functions will begin immediately once programming is complete and START is pressed. The display will show either the time of day (if start time was not programmed) or the start time (if same was programmed), but with a flashing colon. “Stop” and “Time” will also appear on the display.
Press STOP TIME, then HR and MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads to set the time of day for the first cooking function to stop. For example, 1:15.

To Program Next Steps (2 through 4) of the Sequence:

Press FIRST/NEXT STEP. “PROGRAM” and “STEP” will appear on the display. The number of the step being programmed will flash. “START” and “TIME” will also appear on the display.
Press Choice Bake®, or any other desired cooking function.
Press TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad (if desired) to select a temperature other than the one displayed.
Press STOP TIME, then HR and MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads to select a stop time. For example, 1:35.
Continue repeating steps 1 through 4 until the desired number of sequences have been set. You can program up to 4 cooking functions within the sequence.
Press START to begin sequence. If you choose to press START, your program sequence will begin. Additional steps cannot be added to the sequence once START has been pressed. Press CANCEL at any time to clear program and to stop program.

To Review/Modify Programmed Sequence : If program steps are partially or completely programmed, yet the sequence has not been started, the programmed cooking functions can be reviewed.

Press REV. STEPS. Step 1 will appear in the display. Subsequent presses of REV. STEPS will cause display of programmed steps in order. “STEP” and “RECALL” will appear on the display. The number of the displayed step will flash. A recalled step will remain lit on the display for 5 minutes if no further action is taken.
If fewer than 4 steps have been programmed, press REV. STEPS repeatedly until the last programmed step is displayed, then press FIRST/NEXT STEP if it is desired to program an additional step. While a step is recalled, a cook function pad can be used to change the function, or the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad can be used to change the set temperature. START TIME, when used with the HR or MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads, can be used to change, add or delete a delayed start. STOP TIME can be used to change the stop time. Changing the stop time of a step will automatically change the start times and stop times of all subsequent programmed cook functions.
After Review/Modification of the programmed sequence is complete, press START to begin sequence.

To Modify Sequence Programming:

Press UNDO. The last step of the sequence will be canceled, and the step prior to the canceled sequence will show on the display for either review or modification. If the programmed sequence has not been started, see “To Program Next Steps of the Sequence” section to program a step to replace the canceled cook function.
Press START. The first step will show on the display, and the program sequence will begin. Changes can be made during a programmed cook function; however, changes cannot be made after a programmed cook function has been completed. If at any time during an active sequenced program FIRST/ NEXT STEP is pressed, 3 tones will sound.

Warming Drawer (on some models)

WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

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 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 on the HI setting. 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. Before using the warming drawer, wash the tray that lines the bottom of the drawer with soap and water. See “General Cleaning” section. The warming drawer comes with a liner that helps keep the drawer clean. Do not place food to be warmed directly on warming drawer liner.

To Use:

Place cooked foods) in warming drawer.
Press W. DRAWER ON. “dr Lo,” “DRAWER” and “START?” will appear on the display.
Press START. “DRAWER: and “ON” will appear on the display.
Press W. DRAWER OFF when finished.

Warming Drawer Settings: The warming drawer is preset for a “Lo” temperature, but can be changed by pressing the TEMP “up” arrow pad. Use the following chart as a guide when selecting a different temperature other than “Lo.”

Warming Drawer Temperature Chart
Different foods require different settings in order to maintain the ideal serving temperature. Use the following chart as a guide.

RANGE CARE
Self-Cleaning Cycle (on some models)

WARNING
Burn Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well- ventilated room. Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke. Keep the kitchen well- ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke. Do not block the oven vents) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see “Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section. Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.

Prepare Oven

Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven.
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See “General Cleaning” section for more information.
Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½” (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area.
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.

Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer

Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.
Remove all items from the storage drawer.

How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds. The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash. The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil. Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled could result in the glass breaking. The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle. To Self-Clean: Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.

Press AUTO CLEAN.
Press the HR and MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads, or the TIME/TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad (depending on your model) to set a clean time other than 3 hours 30 minutes. On models with Style 1 series electronic oven controls (see “Electronic Oven Controls” section), the oven can be set to a clean time between 3 hours 15 minutes and 5 hours 15 minutes. On models with Style 2 series electronic oven controls (see “Electronic Oven Controls” section), the oven can be set to a clean time between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes.
Press START/ENTER. The oven door will automatically lock. “LOCKED” will appear on the display (on some models), and on other models, the ON, HEAT and DOOR LOCKED indicator lights will light up. The door will not unlock until the oven cools. When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “End” will appear on the oven display and “LOCKED” shown on the display of some models will disappear. The indicator lights on other models will go off.
Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL, or open the oven door to clear the oven display.

To Delay Start Self-Clean (on some models):
Before delay starting Self-Clean, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. See “Clock” section. Also, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.

Press AUTO CLEAN.
Press the HR “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a clean time other than 3 hours 30 minutes. The clean time can be set between 3 hours 15 minutes and 5 hours 15 minutes.
Press START TIME.
Press the HR and MIN “up” or “down” arrows pads to enter the time of day to start.
Press START. The time of day is displayed. The door will automatically lock and “LOCKED” and “DELAY” will appear on the display. The door will not unlock until the oven cools. When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically turn on. When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “End” will appear on the lower oven display and “LOCKED” will disappear.
Press any pad or open the oven door to clear the oven display.

To Stop Self-Clean anytime: (on some models), and the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.
