Canning Tips &
Information 1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local
Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for
thelatest canning information.
2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom
surface is flat.
3. Center canner on the burner grate.
4. Startwith hotwater and ahigh heatsetting to reduce the timeit takes to bring
the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to maintain
a constant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the burner grate.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
3. Alternatesurface unitsbetween each batch to allowthe unitsand surrounding
surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed
and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle
but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.
Canning can generate
largeamountsofsteam.Useextremecau-
tion to prevent burns. Always raise the
lid to vent steam away from you.
DONOT use awok if itis equipped with a
metal ring that extends beyond the
burner unit. Because this ring traps heat,
the surface unit and cooktop surface
could be damaged.
Specialty Pans & Trivets Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in
most cookshop or hardware stores.
Round-bottomed woks (with a
support ring that does not extend
beyond the burner unit) may also be
used. The metal ring was designed to
support the wok safely when it is
filled with large amounts of liquids
(soup making) or fat (frying).
Wire trivets: Donot usewire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact
withthe grates.
DO NOT use two burner units to heat one large pan such as a
roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils to boil dry. The bottom surface of the
panin either of these situations could cause discoloring or crazing ofthe appliance
cooking surface, and damage to the grates and burner units.

General 8 information
Liquefied Petroleum (Propane) Gas Conversion
The cooktop can be used with Natural Gas or Propane Gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.
Ifyou wish to convert your appliance for use withLP/Propane gas, use the suppliedfixed orifices located in a bag containing the
literature marked, "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION". Follow the instructions package with the orifices.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all
codesand requirementsof the authority having jurisdiction.Failure tofollow instructions could result inserious injuryor property
damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Severe shock or damage to the appliance may occur if the appliance is not installed by a qualified installer.
Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest controlsetting and then turnto a lower one to complete
the process. Use a chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of
cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence
the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the
fatis too cool, the food will absorb the fatand be greasy.Ifthe fat is too hot, the food will brown
so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at
once as the food will neither brown or cook properly.
* These settings are based on using medium thickness aluminum pans with lids. Set-
tings may vary when using other types of pans.
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
*Flame Size

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish
on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch
fire if placed too close to a flame.
Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented through at the rear of the cooktop. When the oven is on, warm
air is released through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation
in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT block the vents. Doing so may cause
cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance

ArrangingWarmer Drawer Rack Positions
Setthewarmerdrawerrackintheverticalpositionasshownbeside:
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
• In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be
placed both under and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or
biscuitsontopoftherackandacasseroledishunder).
• In the Downward position to allow you to place light weight
fooditemsandemptydishware(forexample,rollsorpastriesand
dinnerplates)
Setting Warmer Drawer Control(some models)
Note: The warmer drawer cannot be used during an oven self-cleaning cycle. The warmer drawer is equipped with a catch
which may require extra force when opening and closing the drawer.
To Operate the Warmer Drawer
The purpose of the warmer drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not
recommended to heat cold food in the warmer drawer.
All food placed in the warmer drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain moisture and softness. Do not
cover crisp foods. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to
clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the warmer drawer.
Always usepot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer drawer as cookware and plates will
behot.
Indicator Light
The indicator light is located above or below the thermostat control knob. It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until
the control is turned off. Make sure indicator light is off when removing food from drawer.
To Set the Thermostat Control
The thermostat control knob is used to select the temperature of the warmer drawer. It is located on
the control panel. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and LO. The
control can be set to the three settings, or anywhere between.
1. To set the thermostat, push in and turn the knob to the desired setting.
2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer will reach the LO
setting in about 12 minutes, the MED setting in about 15 minutes, and the HI setting in about 18
minutes.
3. Whendone, turnthe thermostat controlto OFF.

Setting Warmer Drawer Controls(some models) (continued)
Temperature Selection
Referto the chart for recommended settings.If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness is
desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting. When
acombination of foodsare to be kept warm (for instance,a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls),use the high setting. Refrain from
opening the warmer drawer while in use to eliminate loss of heat from the drawer. Open only for adding or removing food.
Convection Cooking(some models)
The convection oven uses a fan located in the rear wall of the oven to circulate heated air around the food to be cooked. The
controlled air flow pattern quickly seals the food surface retaining the natural juices and flavor. This method of cooking enables
you to obtain the best culinary results when baking, thawing, dehydrating and roasting foods.
Convection notes:
1. Most recipes can be made with temperatures set at 13°C (25°F) lower than temperatures required for normal radiant
cookingmethods. Refer to theelectronic oven controloperating instructions includedin section “ElectronicOven Control”
of this Use & Care Guide. This can result in considerable reduction of food shrinkage and more tender meats.
2. Batch cooking is more convenient with better results.
3. Defrosting is quicker in convection mode when compared to regular radiant cooking.
4. Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection baking/roasting when using the convection mode.
Times may be reduced by as much as 30% when using the convection feature.
Convection Roasting (some models)
When convection roasting, use the broiler pan and grid, and the roasting rack. The
broiler pan will catch grease spills and the grid will help prevent grease spatters. The
roasting rack will hold the meat.
1. Place oven rack on bottom or next-bottom rack position.
2. Place the grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the grid allowing the
heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase
browning on the underside. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the
grid in the broiler pan. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or cover the
grid with aluminum foil.

Oven Baking
For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc... There is no need to preheat
the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles.
The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance.
Air Circulation in the
Oven
For good air circulation in the oven and
best baking results, center pans as much
as possible. Allow 5.1 to 10.2 cm (2” to
4”) around the utensil(s) for proper air
circulation and be sure pans do not touch
each other, the door, sides or back of
oven. The hot air must circulate around
the pans for even heat to reach all parts
of the oven.
If using multiple pans, stagger as shown.
If using one pan, place in center of oven.

Broiling
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before preheating.
Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROIL as instructed
in the Owner’s Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes.
Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.
To Broil
Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.
Always pull rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.
Determining Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from the element, but on the thickness
and aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second.
Frozen meats also require additional time.
Broiling Tips
The broiler pan and its grid allow drip-
ping grease to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The exposed
grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire
continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on
the fire. Flour may be explosive.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips:
• To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads
because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
• Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may
scratch the grid.
Changing Oven Light
On some models an interior oven light will turn on automatically when the oven door is opened.
The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light switch located on the control panel.
On a self clean oven the lamp is covered with a glass shield held in place by a wire holder.
THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST BE IN PLACE WHENEVER THE OVEN IS IN USE.
To replace the light bulb:
CAUTION: BE SURE OVEN IS COOL
1. Turn the power off at the main source.
2. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.
3. Replace bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only.
4. For self-cleaning oven, press wire holder to one side to release glass shield, change bulb
and be sure to replace glass shield.
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing the oven light bulb. Do not turn the
oven light on during the self-cleaning cycle. High temperature will reduce lamp life.
Always pull oven rack out to the “stop” position before
turning or removing food.

To Clean the Cooktop Glass
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the
cooktopis COOL.
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the burners are sealed, cleanups are
easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately. Remove burner grates before cleaning. To clean
the cooktop, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
Correctand consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining yourheat-resistant glass top. Spillsand
spattersshould bewiped upusing a clean paper toweland sudsywater.This shouldbe doneeither
as soon as possible after the spill occurs, after cooking is completed, or at the latest, before using
the cooktop again. Use caution if the cooktop is hot. For heavy spills, spatter or burned-on mate-
rials, use a razor blade scraper. Hold the razor blade scraper at a 30° angle and remove food spills
orburned onfood residue.
For sugary spillovers:
Sugaryspillscancausepittingofyourcooktopsurface.Therefore,youmustbegincleaningthespills
while the cooktop is still hot.
Finish the cleaning process by applying a recommended heat-resistant glass cooktop cleaning
creme. Apply cleaner with clean, damp paper towel. Rinse with a paper towel dampened with
clean water and wipe dry. Always wipe the cooktop thoroughly to avoid heating any cleaner
residue.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners on any part of the cooktop. Damage to the finish or parts
could result.
DO NOT use the following on the heat-resistant glass cooktop:
•Abrasive plastic, nylon, metal scouring or cloth pads. They may scratch the cooktop and make it more difficult to clean later.
Always use a new, clean paper towel when cleaning the heat-resistant glass top.
•Anything that may melt (plastics, aluminum foil, sugar or food with a high sugar content).
•Heavy duty cleansers, rust or stain removers.
•Chlorinebleach, ammonia, hydrofluoricacid or any other kind of chemicalcleaners. They may etchor discolor the cooktop.
•Sponges, cloths or dish towels. Always use a new, clean paper towel when cleaning the cooktop. Lint or soil remaining on
the cooktop from a cloth or sponge can burn and cause discoloration.
To Clean the Burner Grates, Contoured Burner Pans, Burner Caps and Burner
Bases
Theburner grates, contouredburner pans, burnercaps, and burnerbases should beroutinely cleaned. Keeping the burner ports
clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. See instructions below.
To Clean the Burner Grates
Be sure burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning
clothsor other material on them.The castironburnergrates can bewashed inhot soapywater.
Rinsethoroughly and dry the grates with acloth- don'tput themon thecooktop whilestill wet.
Be sure the grates are positioned securely over the burners.
To remove burned on food, place the grates in a covered container or heavy plastic bag. Add
1/4 cup ammonia and soak for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well and dry. An abrasive cleaner can
beused forstubborn stains.
To Clean the Contoured Burner Pans
The square burner pans are attached to the cooktop and are not removable. The burner pan
forms a recessed well area located around each burner unit. If a spill occurs in one of the well
areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
Remove burner grates
before cleaning. Heavy
burned-on spills can be
removed with a razor
blade scraper. Use
caution to avoid

To Clean the Burner Grates, Contoured Burner
Pans, Burner Caps and Burner Bases (continued)
To Clean the Burner Cap
Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps. If
necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40
minutes. Rub gently with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse with a mixture of
clean water and vinegar. Wipe dry. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may
becomedamaged during futureheating.
To Clean the Burner Base and Gas Opening
Theports (or slots) around theburner base mustbe routinelycleaned. Use asmall-
gauge wire or needle to clean small slots or holes. Use care to prevent damage to
the electrode. If a cleaning cloth should catch the electrode, it could break or
damage the electrode. If the electrode is damaged or broken, the surface burner
will not light. Manual lighting with a match is still possible.
Forproper flowof gas and ignition ofthe burner—DONOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD,
CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS OPENING.
Gas must flow freely through the small hole in the brass orifice for the burners to
light properly. If the orifice gas opening becomes soiled or clogged, use a small-
gauge wire or needle to clean. ALWAYS keep the burner base and the burner cap
in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
To Replace the Burner Cap Assembly
Make sure all parts are dry before placing back on the burner.
1. Replace burner base at it place. Put back burner cap. Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level.
2. Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If burner does not light after cleaning, contact an authorized servicer. Do not
service the sealed burner yourself.
Cleaning the Self-Clean Oven (some models)
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
- Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
- Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
Thehealth of somebirds is extremelysensitive to thefumes given offduring the self-cleaningcycle of anyrange.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push CANCEL pad.
Wait until the oven is cool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean
theoven doorgasket. The gasket on theoven dooris essential for a goodseal. Careshould be taken not torub, damageor move
the gasket. DO NOT cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or
reduce it to a fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth.

Cleaning the Self-Clean Oven (some models) (continued)
Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Remove an excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning
cycle. To clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy
smokeor firewhen subjected to high temperatures.DO NOTallow food spills with
ahigh sugaror acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)
to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration). These
areas heat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean with soap
and water.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do not
withstandhigh cleaningtemperatures
4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the
clean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed and the
oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a
small amount of baby oil or salad oil. This will make the racks glide easier.
What to Expect During Cleaning
Whilethe ovenis in operation,the oven heats to temperaturesmuch higher than those usedin normal cooking.Sounds ofmetal
expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the
oven vent, located on the top of the control panel.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal
and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colorless vapor.
Setting the Controls for Clean Cycle
For the setting of the clean cycle, refer to the Electronic Oven Control Guide.
To Remove and Replace Oven Door
1. Openthe door to thefully opened position.
2. Pull up the lock located on both hinge supports and engage it in the hook of the hinge levers. You may have to apply a
little downward pressure on the door to pull the locks fully over the hooks.
3. Grab the door by the sides, pull the bottom of the door up and toward you to disengage the hinge supports.
Keep pulling the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the range to completely
