"ngand Caring for Your
Cooktop
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners. The
sealed burners spread the heat evenly
across the bottom of the cookware and
provide infinite heat control.
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set
for use with Natural Gas. If you wish to
use L.P. gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit
is included with your new range. See the
instructions included with the L.P.
conversion kit for details on making this
conversion.
* Position grate legs into the leg Iocators
on front and back of cooktop.

sing and Caring for Your Cooktop
Using the surface burners"
Control knobs
1. Grasp the control knob.
2. Push in and turn to LITE. The electric
spark ignitor will ignite the gas flowing into
the burner. When you hear a clicking
sound, you know that the ignitors are
working. Gas is flowing as long as knob is
not set at OFR
3. When the burner is lit, turn the control
knob to the desired flame setting. (See the
guide under "Burner heat settings" later in
this section.) You can turn the knobs to
any of the marked settings. The ignitor will
turn off and the clicking will stop when the
knob is moved from LITE.
NOTES:
*The ignitors may click a number of times
before burner lights. This is normal.
*All four burner ignitors will spark
regardless of which burner you are using.
*Visually check that the burner has lit. If the
burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking
sound. If you do not hear the ignitor click,
TURN THE BURNER OFF. Check for a
tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.
Check that the control knob is pressed
completely down on valve shaft. If the spark
ignitor still fails to operate, call your
nearest designated service outlet.
Proper grounding and polarity are
necessary for correct operation of the electric
ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not
provide correct polarity, the ignitor will
become grounded and click every once in
a while, even after the burner has ignited.
A qualified electrician should check the wall
receptacle to see if it is wired with correct
polarity.
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.
Burner heat settings
Use correct burner heat settings (see chart
later in this section). If the heat setting is too
high, it will affect cooking results.
Until you get used to the settings, use the
following as a guide.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
LITE ,, To light the burner.
HI *To start food cooking.
•To bring liquid to a boil.
MED to HI *To hold a rapid boil.

_i!sing and Caring for Your Cooktop
Simmer Plate t
One Simmer Plate has been provided with
your cooktop. It
has been
designed to be
used with burner
settings in the
medium to low
range on your
cooktop when
lower tempera-
tures are required
for simmering or for maintaining food at a low
temperature over an extended period of time.
The Simmer Plate is made of aluminum to
evenly spread the heat over the bottom of
cookware.
Channels on the bottom of the Simmer Plate
(see diagram at
left) have been
designed so it fits
properly and
securely over the
grate.
tTo order additional Simmer Plates (Part No.
4455109), call 1-800-422-1230 (in U.S.A.)or
1-800-461-5681 (in Canada). You will hear a
recording. Follow the steps to place order.
In case of a prolonged power
failure
Surface burners can be manually lighted.
1. Hold a lit striker near a burner and turn
the control knob to the HI position.
2. After the burner lights, turn the control
knob to the desired setting.
NOTE: Do not leave a burner on without any
cookware on the grate. The grate finish can
be damaged.

sing and Caring forYour Cooktop
Home canning information
The large diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can cause
damage to the cooktop.
*For up-to-date information on canning,
contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office or
companies who manufacture home canning
products. In Canada, contact Agriculture
Canada.
To protect your range:
• Center the canner over the surface burner.
Do not extend more than 1 inch (2.5 cm)
outside the burner area.
• Do not place your canner on two surface
burners at the same time.
• Start with hot water, cover with a lid and
bring to a boil; then reduce heat to main-
tain a boil or required pressure levels in a
pressure canner.
Using the right cookware makes a
big difference
*The pan should have a flat bottom, straight
sides, and a well-fitting lid.
*Choose medium to heavy gauge
(thickness) cookware.
• The pan material (metal or glass) affects
how quickly and evenly the pan heats.
•When using glass or ceramic cookware,
check to make sure it is suitable for use on
surface burners.
____________::____________C_______C_Z::::_____:__________________________________`_C:________;_O,ii iii,',iii " i iiC iii iiiZii!; ,: !i,'!iiiCiiii! i:ii
The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan
material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the
best cooking results.

NOTES:
•Before cleaning make sure all controls are
off and the cooktop is cool.
•Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air around the burner grates
edges.
Cleaning the surface burners
•You should routinely remove and clean the
burner cap. Always clean the burner cap
after a spill-over. Keeping the burner cap
clean prevents poor ignition and an
uneven flame.
•For the proper flow of gas and ignition of
the burner, do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents, or any other material
to enter the gas tube opening or burner
ports.
• Gas must flow freely through the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly.
Keep this area free of any soil and protect
it from boilovers or spillovers. Always
keep the burner cap in place whenever a
surface burner is in use.
•Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.
• Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust
removers.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
•Occasionally check the burner flames for
proper size and
1-1#' shape as shown. A
(25-38 ram) good flame is blue
in color not yellow.
If the flames are not
burning at all ports,
you may need to
clean the burner
ports.
Ignitor
Gas tube
opening
(orifice)
To clean the burners:
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner
base.
2. Clean the burner cap with warm, soapy
water and a sponge. You can also clean it
with a mildly abrasive scrubbing pad or
cleanser. Do not clean the burner cap in a
dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.
3. If the gas tube opening has become
soiled or clogged, use a damp cloth to
clean the area.
4. If the burner ports are clogged, clean
them with a
straight pin. Do
not enlarge or dis-
tort the port. Do
not use a wooden
toothpick. If the
burner needs to be
adjusted, call a
qualified technician
for service.
5. After cleaning the gas tube opening and
ports, replace the burner cap. To replace
the burner cap, make sure the alignment
pins on the cap are properly aligned with
the burner base.
6. Turn on the burner to see if it will light. If

when convection baking.)
To use three racks during convection
baking, place one rack in position 5(the
highest position), another rack in position
1 (the closest to the oven bottom), and the
third rack in position 3. This allows all
three racks to be an equal distance apart
for better baking.
For best results allow 2 inches (5 cm) of
space around each pan and between
pans and oven walls. Hot air must
circulate around the pans in the oven for

sing and Caring for Your Oven
•Do not line the oven bottom with any type
of foil, liners, or
cookware.
Permanent
damage will
occur to the oven
bottom finish.
•Do not cover
the entire rack
with aluminum
foil. Doing so will
reduce air circulation and overall oven
performance.
•To catch spillovers from pies or casseroles
place foil on the oven rack below. Foil
should be turned up at edges and be at
least 1 inch (2.5 cm)larger than dish.
•Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat
or poultry to slow down surface browning
for long term roasting. Remove foil for the
last 30 minutes.
• Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust
edges if browning too quickly.

•Do not use aluminum foil when convection
baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.
• Reduce recommended recipe standard baking
temperature by approximately 25°F (14°C).
• When baking more than one rack of
cookies at a time, reduce recommended
recipe standard baking temperature by
approximately 50°F (10°C).
• For some recipes, you can reduce con-
vection baking time compared to standard
baking times. Check for doneness 5 to 10
minutes before standard baking times end.
NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when
you use more than one rack.

1. Position rack.
See the rack placement chart in the
"Broiling guidelines" section for
recommended rack positions.
Use the convection roasting rack on the
broiler pan and grid included with your
oven. The convection roasting rack rests
on the broiler pan and grid. The long side
of the rack should be parallel with the oven
door for best heat distribution and airflow.
* Spatter can be reduced by lining the
bottom of the roasting pan with lightly
crushed aluminum foil.
*Use an accurate meat thermometer to
determine when meat has reached desired
degree of doneness. Insert the thermome-
ter into the center of the thickest portion of
the meat. For an accurate reading, the tip
of the thermometer should not touch fat,
bone, or gristle.
*After reading the thermometer once,
push it further into the meat 1/inch
(1.7 cm) or more and read again. If the
temperature drops, return the meat to the
oven for more cooking.
*Check pork and poultry with a ther-
mometer in 2 to 3 places to ensure ade-
quate doneness. Insert the thermometer
into the center of the thickest portion and
ends of pork. Check the inner thighs and
breasts of poultry.
* Poultry and roasts will be easier to
carve if loosely covered with foil and
allowed to stand 10 to 15 minutes after
removal from the oven.
2. Put food in oven.
Place food on grid in broiler pan and
place in center of the oven rack. Turn
the pan so the long side is parallel to the
oven door for the most even heat and the
best airflow.
3. Close door.
4. Turn SELECTOR to BROIL.
The display will read "HI".
5. Rotate SET to desired broil
level.
Your options are: LO, br 2, br 3, br 4,
