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 the set temperature is reached. Close the oven door.
- Step 5. (Optional) Enter time to cook
- Step 6. The Cancel button can be used 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
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:
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 the control knobs are turned to Ignite.
POWER FAILURE
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually.
Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the knob counterclockwise to IGNITE.
After the burner lights, turn the knob to set.
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.
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. For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes. Side 1 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 41/2 to 51/2 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.
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 5, and a flat rack in rack position 2. If you do not
have two flat racks, use a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 6. 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 Convection Bake
function, a flat rack in rack position 5, and a flat rack in rack position 2.
If you do not have two flat racks, use a flat rack in rack position 2 and a
Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 6. If you do not have Convection Bake,
use the standard Bake function.
BURNER SIZE
Select a burner that best fits your cookware. See the following illustration and chart.
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.
- 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.
