COOKWARE
CHARACTERISTICS

■
See stainless steel or cast iron.
Stainless steel
■
Heats quickly, but unevenly.
■
A core or base of aluminum or copper
on stainless steel provides even
heating.
For best results, the cookware should be centered above the
burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should
be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
■
Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
■
Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
■
For more information, contact your local agricultural extension
office, or refer to published home canning guides. Companies
that manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.
OVEN USE
The normal operation of the range will include several noises that
may be heard each time the Bake or Broil burners ignite during the
cooking cycle:
■
Gas valves may make a “popping” sound when opening or
closing
■
Igniters will “click” several times until a flame is sensed
■
A “poof” sound is heard when a Bake or Broil burner ignites
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death
to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-
ventilated room.

Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide
consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any
point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow
to react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate
reading due to this cycling.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can
be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be
changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1.
Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display
shows the current setting, for example “0°F CAL” or “00.”
2.
Press the Temp-Time “up” or “down” arrow pads to increase or
to decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C or 6°C) amounts. The
adjustment can be set between 30°F (17°C) and -30°F (-17°C).
3.
Press START.
