Using Your Range
WARNING
Fire Hazard ****
Do is 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.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does not
ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click,
turn the burner off. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown household
fuse. Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the valve
shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a
trained repair specialist.
To Set:
- Push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to LITE. All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
- Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW.
REMEMBER: When the range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
Power™ Burner Feature
The left front burner is designed to give ultrapower when fully on. It can be
used to rapidly bring the liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of
food.
Flex-Choice™ Burner Feature
The Flex-Choice™ feature allows for more precise simmering and low-temperature
cooking. It is the right rear burner.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs
are turned to LITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate.
The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
POWER FAILURE
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually.
Hold a lit match near a burner, and then turn the knob counterclockwise to
LITE. Afterburner lights, turn the knob to the desired setting.
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.
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 position 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, and then lift out. Use the following illustrations as a guide.
Baking Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 2 and 5. For best results when convection baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 2 and 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.
BURNER SIZE
Select a burner that best fits your cookware. See the following illustration and chart.
| Burner Size | Recommended Use |
|---|---|
| Small | Low-heat cooking |
Melting chocolate or butter
Medium| Multipurpose burner
Large| For large cookware
Extra-Large| Most powerful burner

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.

- Remove the bulb from the socket.
- Replace bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle bulb. To avoid damage to or decrease the life of the new bulb, do not touch the bulb with bare fingers.
