use of these items is not covered by the product warranty. Do not use more
foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil.
Keep foil at least 1-1/2″ from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
Oven Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air for
the inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to keep cool and operate
properly with correct combustion. Never cover the opening with aluminum foil
or any other material. Vents are located along the rear of the cooktop.
Oven Cooking Guide
Preheat oven for 10-15 minutes before inserting food. Use rack position 2
for standard baking. Adjust position as needed. Limit door openings as much as
possible to retain heat in the oven.
Oven Cookware
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance. Dark,
coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans
that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper and thicker
crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than the minimum
cook time.
CARE AND CLEANING
Cooktop Surfaces
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any
part of the range.

FLAME QUALITY
The burner flames for the cooktop and bake burners should be blue with yellow tips. Long, bright yellow flames are not normal. Normal flames may show signs of an orange tint when well heated or signs of flickering orange due to particles in the gas or air.
