OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, located in your appliance’s
Owner’s Manual, before operating this appliance.
Using Your Oven
Step 1. Select oven function
Step 2. Set the temperature
Step 3. Press Start
Step 4. Place food inside the oven once set temperature is reached. Close
the oven door. Step 5. (Optional) Enter time to cook
Step 6. The Cancel button can be use to cancel the function during or
after cook time. NOTE: For more detailed instructions on specific functions,
see the online Control Guide.
Using Your Range
WARNING: Fire Hazard Do 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.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to (Ignite).
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
- Oval For longer dishes
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. 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.
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 knob counterclockwise to the Ignite position.
IMPORTANT: All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to the Ignite position will produce a flame. -
Turn the knob to anywhere between Hi and Lo.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self- Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
POWER FAILURE
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to the Ignite position. After the burner lights, turn knob to setting.
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 COOKIES AND LAYER CAKES ON TWO 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 on Two Racks
For best results when baking cookies on two racks, use the Convect Bake
function 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 entire oven rack with foil because air
must be able to move freely.
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.
- Remove bulb from socket.
- Replace bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle bulb. To avoid damage to or decreasing the life of the new bulb, do not touch bulb with bare fingers.
- Replace bulb cover by turning clockwise.
- Reconnect power.
IMPORTANT: Do not use lamps rated higher than 40 W.
SABBATH MODE:
The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting until disabled.
