Before Setting Surface Controls
Locations of the Gas Surface Burners
(For mode_s with Porcelain Cooktop - Figure 1)
Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with different
BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in Uarger
voUumes increases as the burner size increases.
The small SIMMER burner is best used for simmering delicate
sauces, etc. This burner is Uocatedat the right rear burner position
on the cooktop.
The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface cooking
needs. This standard burner is Uocatedat the Ueftfront position on
the cooktop.
The POWER burners are best used for bringing Uargequantities of
Hquidrapidly up to temperature or when preparing Uargerquantities
of food. The 2 POWER burners are located at the right front and
left rear positions on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the
amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and
flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend
beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Setting Surface Controls
Do not ptace plastic
items such as salt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
top of the range when it is in use.
These items couUdmeUtor ignite,
PothoUders, toweb or wood spoons couUd
catch fire if pUacedtoo dose to a flame,
in the event of an eUectrbaUpower outage,
the surface burners can be Ht manually,
To Hght a surface burner, hoUda Htmatch
to the burner head, then sbwUy turn the
surface controU knob to LITE. After burner
Hghts push in and turn knob to desired
setting, Use caution when lighting surface
burners manually,
Figure 1
Operating the Gas Surface Controls:
1, Place cooking utensil on surface burner,
2, Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of
the OFF position (See Figure 1),
3, Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position, Note: All four
electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time, However, only
the burner you are turning on wiii ignite,
4, Visually check that the burner has a flame,
5, Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size,
The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting, Use the
knob indicator settings to adjust the flame as needed, DO NOT cook
with the surface control knob in the LITE position, (The electronic
ignitor wiii continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position,)
Setting Proper Surface Burner F_ame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a
lower one to complete the process, Use the recommendations 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,
*Ftame Size Type of Cooking
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling,
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming,
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing,
*These settings are based on using medium-weight metaJ or
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types
of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment, A
good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room, Each
cone of flame should be steady and sharp, Clean burner if flame is yellow-
orange,
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount
and type of food being prepared, Select a burner and flame size
appropriate to the pan, Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer
edge of the pan,
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil, A higher
flame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned
by the flame (Figure 2),
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control
knob accordingly, if the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be
greasy, if the 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 nor cook properly,

the recommendations for using cookware
as shown in Figure 2,
Note: The size and type of cookware used
will influence the setting needed for best
cooking results,
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose, Follow manufacturer's instructions,

Using a wok Woks with fiat 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 circumference) may also be
used, The metal ring was designed to
support the wok safely when it is filled
with large amounts of liquids (soup
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets,
Cookware bottoms must be in direct

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with
a metaJ ring that extends beyond the

o Preheat your oven to 350°R PUacethe gdddUeon the upper rack in your oven,
o Bake griddUe for 1 hour at 350°E then turn oven OFF and UetcooUbefore remov-
ing,
oThe surface may appear to have a tacky feeUto it from the seasoning process, Hf
desired, wash the griddUein hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry compUeteUy,
After each use:
oTo prevent rusting, store in a dry pUaceand keep uncovered,
oAfter each use, dean with a stiff brush and hot water only,
o DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER,
o Dry UmmediateUyand appUya Hghtcoating of vegetaMe oHto griddle before
storing,
Using the Griddle:
o Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side gas burners or over
the Bridge Burner, For location refer to Figure 1,
o Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting, Slow
preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process,
o DO NOT preheat the griddle on Hi setting, Preheating on HI may warp the
griddle and prevent even heat distribution,

_This range has afan that will turn "ON" and "OFF" by itseffto keep the electronics cool itmay continue
to run after the range has been turned "OFF", but may aJeo stop immediately and then turn "ON" after a while.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located in the center rear on the
cooktop, When the oven is on, warm air passes through
the vent, This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results, DO NOT
BLOCK OVEN VENT, Never close off the openings with
aluminum foil or any other material,
OVEN VENT
Removing and Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops, Lift up
front of rack and slide out, To reptace, fit the rack onto
the guides on the oven walls, Tilt the front of the rack
upward and slide the rack back into place,

possible, Oven racks may be HOT and may
cause burns,
Your appliance may be equipped with one
or more of the oven rack types shown; Fiat
HandJe Oven Rack (Figure 2) and Flat
Oven Haft Rack (Figure 8),
The Fiat Haft Rack has a removable insert
that can provide extra space for larger food
items, The right half rack portion may still be used for other food items like a
casserole dish (See Figure 3), To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front
insert side (See Figure 4) of the rack and tilt out clockwise, To reinstall insert rear
hooks at back of insert (See Figure 5) and lay insert down, Make sure both insert
front hooks snap into rack (See Figure 5),
Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge of the Fiat Half Rack, For
best results, allow 2 inches between the pan placed on the rack and oven side or
rear walls,
Figure 4
1 Oven Rack
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware
do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven
cavity, The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in
the oven for even heat to reach around the food,
