How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
.WARNING
Burner flames that
are not covered by cookware may present a risk
of fire or clothing ignition. The griddle burner
should only be used with the griddle in place.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
Make.sure.all.the.surface.burners.are.placed.in.
their.respective.positions

Turn.the.knob.to.adjust.the.flame.size.If.the.
knob.stays.at.LITE,.it.will.continue.to.click

could.cause.you.to.knock.over.hot.cookware
Push the control knob in and turn
it to the LITE position.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
..Make.sure.all.burners.are.in.place
..Make.sure.all.grates.on.the.range.are.
properly.placed.before.using.any.burner
After Lighting a Gas Burner
..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

How to Select Flame Size
.WARNING .. Flames that are
not covered by cookware may present a risk
of burns or clothing ignition. Never let flames
extend beyond the sides of the cookware.
Watch.the.flame,.not.the.knob,.as.you.adjust.
heat.When.fast.heating.is.desired,.the.flame.
size.on.a.gas.burner.should.match.the.
cookware.you.are.using
Flames.larger.than.the.bottom.of.the.cookware.

The time of day will flash in the display when there has
been a power outage. Reset the clock.
If the function error code appears during the self-cleaning

using a rack in the lowest position (R), you
will need to use caution when pulling the
rack out. We recommend that you pull the
rack out several inches and then, using two
pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the
sides of it. The rack is low and you can be
burned if you put your hand in the middle of
the rack and pull all the way out.

The oven has a special low shelf
(R) position just above the oven
bottom. Use it when extra cooking
space is needed, for example,
when cooking a large turkey. The
shelf is not designed to slide out
at this position.
If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking or roasting.
The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
Preheating and Pan Placement

desired position before you turn on the oven.

When baking on a single rack, use

your type of food. Baking results
will be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as
possible.
When baking four cake layers at a time,
use racks B and D. Place the lower
pans at the back of the rack and the
upper pans to the front of the rack
shown so that one pan is not directly
above another.

The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature and
your preference of doneness
will affect broiling times. This
guide is based on meats at
refrigerator temperature.
†The U.S. Department of
Agriculture says “Rare beef is
popular, but you should know that
cooking it to only 140°F. means
some food poisoning organisms
may survive.” (Source: Safe Food
Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA
Rev. June 1985.)
The oven has 5 shelf positions.

NOTE: Foods that spoil easily—such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork—should not be allowed to sit for more
than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven
light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

Your new touch pad control has additional features that you may choose to use. The following are the features and how
you may activate them.
The special feature modes can only be activated while the display is showing the time of day. They remain in the control’s
memory until the steps are repeated.
When the display shows your choice, touch the Start/On pad. The special features will remain in memory after a power

practice using regular (non-Sabbath) Immediate Start
and Automatic Stop before entering the Sabbath

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained
in memory after a power failure.

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
