IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR GAS COOKTOP
CAUTION
Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust fl same size so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of
the burner fl ame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to fl ame will also improve effi ciency. Know
which knob or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food
on the cooking area before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before
removing the cookware.Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with fl at bottoms
that match the surface unit heat- ing element. The use of undersized cookware
may expose a portion of the fl same to direct contact and may result in the
ignition of clothing or other items. Using the proper cookware on the cooking
areas will improve effi ciency. Always turn knob to the full LITE position when
igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the fl
ame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
Placement of oven racks – Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact hot burner or element in oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and utensils before moving the
rack. Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pans and inserts
allow dripping fat to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not
cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could
ignite. Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook in proper cookware
and always use the oven racks.

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Bakeware
The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from
the pan to the food.
Material | Attributes | Recommendation |
---|
Shiny metal bakeware
| Shiny, aluminum, and noncoated bakeware is the best for even heating. It is
suitable for all baked goods.| Recommended cooking temperatures and
times are based on shiny metal bakeware.
Dark metal bakeware
| Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware.| Reduce the cooking
temperature by 25° F
(13-14° C) when using dark bakeware.
Glass bakeware
| Glass bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware. Glass is convenient, as the
same
piece of bakeware can be used for cooking, serving, and storing food.| Reduce
the cooking temperature by 25° F
(13-14° C) when using glass bakeware.
Insulated bakeware
| Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than shiny bakeware. Insulated bakeware is
designed
for baking in gas ovens.| Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F
(13-14° C) when using glass bakeware.
Cooking Conditions
Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when
cooking food.
Material | Attributes | Recommendation |
---|---|---|
Aging cookware | As pans age and become discolored, cooking times may need to | |
be reduced slightly. | If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook |
time in the recipe or packaging. If food is too light or undercooked, use the
middle to maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.
High altitude| Air is drier and air pressure is lower. Water boils at a lower
temperature, and liquids evaporate faster.
Foods may take longer to bake. Doughs may rise faster.| Adjust cooking
temperature, cooking time, or
recipes as needed. Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes. Increase cook
time on cooktop. Cover dishes
to reduce evaporation. Increase bake time or oven temperature. Reduce amount
of baking soda or baking
powder in recipe. Reduce rising time or punch
down dough and allow it to rise twice.
Cooking Results
Small adjustments may fi x a problem with food not being as done as you like or
more done than you like.
Problems | Recommendation |
---|---|
Food too light | Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging |
or recipe.
Food too dark| Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Cooking Tips
Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.
Oven Use | Recommendation |
---|
Baking
Rack placement| Follow the instructions in “Oven Controls” on starting on page
18. When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of
the oven.
Preheat| Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes,
biscuits and breads. Insert food immediately after the beep.
Checking food| Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the
door may reduce baking performance.
Food placement| Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for
proper air circulation.
Broiling / Roasting
Broiling pan| For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan
insert designed to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce
smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps
prevent grease splatters.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will infl uence the heat setting needed for
best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper
cookware as illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Check for fl atness by
rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see Figure 1). Cookware
should have fl at bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface
heating element (see Figure 2).

Figure 2: Proper cookware
Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred
from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials
available are:
- Aluminum – Excellent heat conductor. Some Aluminum – Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting).
- Copper – Excellent heat conductor but discolor easily (see Aluminum).
- Stainless – Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
- Cast Iron – A slow heat conductor, but will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
- Porcelain-enamel on metal – Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.
- Glass – Slow heat conductor.
IMPORTANT Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelainenamel coated cookware on the element. The melting point of cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly, especially if left empty. If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for use and care of cookware. NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.
Assembly of the Burner Caps
Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are
installed correctly and at the correct locations. Remove all packing material
from the cooktop area. Make sure burner caps are properly placed on the
surface burners. The burner head has a hole which fi ts over the ignition. Make
sure the head fi ts snugly before placing the burner caps. Unpack the burner
grates and position them on the cooktop after the burner heads and caps are
properly installed. On round-style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure 3)
should fi t snug into the center of the burner head and rest level. Refer to
Figure 4 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement.
Figure 3: Burner cap (A) burner head (B) ignitor (C)orifi ce (D)
Figure 4: Cap placement
Once in place, you may check the fi t by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Figure 5) to be sure it is centered and fi rmly seated. When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner cap click
Figure 5: Gently move cap for proper placement
IMPORTANT
- Please note that the burner cap should not move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.
- Do not use the surface burners without the burner caps properly installed. Improperly seated burner caps may prevent burners from lighting or cause uneven fl ame and heating.
- Missing pieces or improper installation may lead to spills, burns, or damage to your range and cookware.
- Never place fl ammable items on the cooktop.
CAUTION
Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the
gas orifi ce holder opening. Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in
place whenever the surface burners are in use. Never place fl ammable items on
the cooktop.
Install Burner Grate s
To install burner grates, place the grates fl at-side down and align them into
the cooktop recess.
Figure 6: Place burner grates
IMPORTANT
Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop before using
the surface burners (Figure 6). The grates are designed to rest inside the
recess on the cooktop. Grates should rest flush against each other and against
the sides of the recess. Do not line the area underneath the grates or any
part of the cooktop with aluminum foil or with any other lining. Gas surface
burner types To install burner grates, place the grates fl at-side down and
align them into the cooktop recess. The cooktop is equipped with gas surface
burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quickly and in
large amounts increases as the burner size
increases.
- Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food.
- Standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.
- The largest burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The large burner is located at the right front position on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and set the fl same size appropriately for the pan. Never allow fl ames to extend eyond the outer edge of the pan.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with
your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture)
Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
- Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the ottom surface is fl at. Use a straightedge to check canner bottom.
- Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
- It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners and to center canners on the burner grates.
- Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
- Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
- Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
- It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
- Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.
Setting surface controls
The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance may be equipped with many different-sized surface burners. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate for the cookware size.
- The standard size burner or burners may be used for most surface cooking needs.
- Small burners are best used for low-fl same heating of small amounts of food.
- Large burners are best for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature or heating larger quantities of food.
Setting a surface burner:
- Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the burner grate.
- Push the burner’s surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 7).
- Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the burner has a steady gas fl same.
- Once the surface burner has a fl same, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired fl ame size setting. Adjust the flame as needed using the knob markings.
IMPORTANT
- NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time unless the cookware is specifi cally designed for the purpose.
- DO NOT cook with a surface control knob left in the lite position ( ). The electronic ignitor will continue to spark. Turn the control knob out of the lite position and adjust the fl same size.
- Do not place aluminum foil or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If items melt, they may permanently damage the appearance of the cooktop
CAUTION
Do not place flammable items such as plastic wrappings, spoon holders, or
plastic salt and pepper shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items
could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fi re if
placed too close to the surface burners.
Figure 7: Surface control knob
NOTE
When setting a surface control knob to the lite position, all of the
electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the
surface burner you are setting will ignite. In the event of an electrical
power outage, the surface burners may be lit manually. To light a surface
burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface
control knob to lite. Once the burner ignites, push in and turn knob out of
lite then to the desired flame setting. Use caution when lighting surface
burners manually.
Set proper burner flame size
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is
clear, blue, and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of fl same
should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if flame is yellow-
orange.
For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower
setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for
determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Table 1).
For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob
accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be
greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center
will be under-cooked. Do not attempt to deep-fat fry too much food at once as
the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
Figure 8: Proper fl ame setting
Flame size | Type of cooking |
---|---|
High flame | Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling |
Medium flame | Maintain a slow boil; thicken |
sauces, gravies; steaming
Low flame| Keep foods cooking; poaching; stewing
These settings are based on medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids.
Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Table 1: Recommended flame settings for cooking
CAUTION
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher
flame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame
(Figure 8).
Cooking with a griddle (some models)
The griddle is a versatile accessory that is perfect for cooking foods that
require large fl at surfaces such as pancakes, French toast, grilled
sandwiches, bacon, and also for cooking different foods at the same time.
After use, let the griddle cool before washing. Hand wash with hot soapy
water. Do not soak. Dry thoroughly. Do not put a griddle in a dishwasher.
Using the griddle: Place the griddle securely on top of the burner grates.
Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium-low setting. Slow
preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process. DO NOT
preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and
prevent even heat distribution.
Figure 9: Griddle
Oven Vent Location (some models)
The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the oven is on, warm
air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block the oven vent.
Never close off the openings with aluminum foil or any other material. Steam
or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
The Cooling Fan (some models)
The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled through the vents
between the oven door and the control panel as shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10: Cooling fan location
WARNING
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners
to line the oven bottom, walls, racks, or any other part of the range. Doing
so will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly
cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock or fi re. During self-clean,
temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
CAUTION
always use potholders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns. To prevent possible damage
to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks
are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.
Figure 11: Oven racks
Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.
Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Oven Racks
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
To remove – Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop
position. Lift upfront of oven rack slightly and slide out. To replace –
Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the
front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be
sure oven racks are level before using.
Figure 12: Replacing oven rack
Air Circulation in the Oven
The rack has a special shape in the rear which helps with the heat
circulation.
Do not push the baking tray all the way to the back wall of the cavity. This
prevents the heat from circulating around the tray. The food may be burnt,
especially in the rear part of the tray. For best air circulation when baking,
allow a space of 2 inches (5 cm) around the cookware for proper air
circulation. Be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door,
sides, or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around
cookware for even heat to reach the food.

pastries, and bread.
- For best results when baking with one oven rack, place racks in positions 2 or 3 (Figure 15).
- When baking using one oven rack, position bakeware as shown in Figure 16. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
NOTE
The baking image is correct, but it’s also for presentation purposes. You may
also bake with the left pan in the front and the right pan in the back. Either
position for either pan bakes correctly. General Baking Tips:
- Preheat the oven 15 minutes before baking items like cookies, biscuits, cakes, and bread.
- Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or over-browning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent over-browning of some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
- Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven.
- Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May require reducing oven temperature.
Setting Broil
Use to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum
browning results. Position the rack as suggested in Table 2.
NOTE
Keep the oven door closed when broiling. The escaping heat could damage
appliance knobs and controls.
To set broil:
- Arrange the oven rack while oven is still cool.
- Turn the oven temp knob to the Broil position (Figure 14). For optimum results, preheat broil for 10 minutes before adding food.
- Place the insert on the broil pan (if equipped), then place the food on the broil pan insert (if using a broiler pan and insert).
- Place the broiler pan and insert on the oven rack. Center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element. Broil on one side until food is browned. Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food. Turn and broil food on the second side.
- To cancel the broiling function, turn the oven temp knob to the OFF position.
Figure 17: Broil accessories
WARNING
Should an oven fi reoccur, keep oven door closed and turn off the oven. If the
fi re continues, throw baking soda on the fi re or use a fi re extinguisher. Do
not put water or flour on the fi re. Flour may be explosive and water can cause
a grease fi re to spread and cause personal injury. The broiler pan and the
insert allow grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not use the pan without the insert. Do not cover the insert with
aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
CAUTION
Always use potholders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the
oven interior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.
