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.
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:
1.
Push in and turn knob
counterclockwise to IGNITE. All
surface burners will click. Only the
burner with the control knob turned to
Ignite will produce a flame.
2.
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.
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 IGNITE. 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 position 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. Side 1 should cook for approximately 2

minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to
5 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 2 racks, use the Convection Bake function, a flat rack in rack
position 2, and a Max Capacity Oven rack in rack position 6.

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 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.
A. Oven vent

2.
Turn the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven counterclockwise to remove.
3.
Remove bulb from socket.
