Using Your Oven

NOTE: For more detailed instructions on specific functions, see the online Control Guide.

Using Your Range

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.
To Set:

Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to will produce a flame.
Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self- Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to.

POWER FAILURE
In case of a prolonged power failure, the surface burners cannot be lit manually. No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure.

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.

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.
Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least 1/2″ (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil element.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustrations as a guide for positioning racks.

For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior in the lower oven, use a flat rack in rack position 5. Side 1 should cook for approximately 21/2 to 31/2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks

For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use rack positions 1 (roll-out rack) and 4 (flat rack) with the Convection Bake function. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. If using two flat racks, use rack positions 2 and 4.

Baking Cookies on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use rack positions 1 (roll- out rack) and 4 (flat rack) with the Bake function. If using 2 flat racks, use rack positions 2 and 4.

BURNER SIZE
Select a burner that best fits your cookware. Burner positions will vary based on the model of your range. See the following illustration and chart.

OVEN VENTS

The oven vents release hot air and moisture from the ovens and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vents 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 vents.

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.
