Damage from improper 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.

• Porcelain Enamel Cooktop

   • Push and turn the oven control knob counterclockwise to the ? position. Keep the oven control knob pressed until the oven pilot is lit. If air is in the supply line, it may take up to a minute for the air to purge and the oven pilot to light.
   • Once the pilot is lit, keep the oven control knob pressed for at least 15 seconds until the oven pilot sensor becomes heated.
   • Release oven control knob and visually confirm oven pilot remains lit. If oven pilot goes out, repeat bullets 2 and 3.
   • Rotate the oven control knob to each temperature and inspect the burner flame. If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, see “Troubleshooting” or contact a qualified service technician.

9. 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.
