Using Your Range
WARNING
Fire Hazard
- Turn off all controls when done cooking.
- Failure to do so could result in death or fire.
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between Hi and Lo or Melt. Push in and turn to the setting.
REMEMBER:
When the range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle,
the entire cooktop area may become hot.
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 move racks with bakeware on them.
- Make sure the racks are level.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustration as a guide.
BAKING COOKIES AND LAYER CAKES ON 2 RACKS
Baking Layer Cakes
For best results when baking cakes on two racks, use the Bake function, a flat
rack in rack position 4, and a flat rack in rack position 2. 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 Convect Bake
function (on some models) and place flat racks in positions 2 and 5.
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 the entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
IMPORTANT:
Do not allow aluminium foil and meat probes to contact with heating elements.
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 it.
- Remove the bulb from the socket.
- Replace the bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle the bulb. To avoid damage to decrease the life of the new bulb, do not touch the bulb with bare fingers.
- Replace the bulb cover by turning it clockwise.
- Reconnect power.
IMPORTANT: Do not use lamps rated higher than 40 W.
SABBATH MODE:
- The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on the bake setting until disabled.
- For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with Sabbath Mode, visit www.star-k.org or contact us as per the information provided above.
