USING YOUR RANGE
USING THE SURFACE BURNERS
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The
cookware could overheat, causing damage to the
cookware or cooking product.
Using POWER Burner
POWER Burner is an adjustable setting for the left
front burner which provides an ultra-high heat setting.
It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to
cook large quantities of food.
Using ACCUSIMMER
ACCUSIMMER is an adjustable setting for the right
rear burner. It allows more accurate simmer control at
the lowest setting.
Easy ways to save energy
•To help shorten your cooking time, use the least
amount of liquid possible.
•Preheat your pots and pans only when
recommended and for the shortest time possible.
•Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn
the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.
wWARNING
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.
RECOMMENDED USE
•To light the burner.
•To provide highest heat
setting.
•To start food cooking.
•To bring liquid to a boil.
•To hold a boil.
•To fry chicken or pancakes.
•For gravy, pudding, and icing.
•To cook large amounts of
vegetables.
•To keep food warm.
•To simmer.
•To provide lowest
simmer/heat setting.
•To melt chocolate or butter.

Burner heat settings
Use the following chart as a guide.
Using the control knobs
Your range comes with electric ignitors. Electric
ignitors automatically light the burners each time
you turn the control knobs to LIGHT.
•Place a filled pan on the burner grate before
turning on the surface burner. Do not operate a
burner for extended periods of time without
having cookware on the grate.
•Push in the control knob and turn it counter-
clockwise to the
LIGHT position. The
clicking sound is the
ignitor sparking. Make
sure the burner has lit.
•To stop the clicking
sound after the burner
lights, turn the control
knob to the cook
setting you want. You
can set the control knob
anywhere between HIGH and LOW.
NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same
time. However, the burner with the control knob
turned to LIGHT is the one that will ignite.

USING YOUR RANGE
USING THE SURFACE BURNERS (CONT.)
In case of a prolonged power failure
You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit
match near a burner and turn the control knob to
the LIGHT position. After the burner lights, turn the
control knob to the setting you want.
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.
To protect your range:
•For best results, use a canner which can be
centered over the surface burner.
•Do not place your canner on 2 surface burners
at the same time.
•Start with hot water. This reduces the time
the control is set on high. Reduce the heat
setting to the lowest position needed to maintain
a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure
canner.
•
Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
For up-to-date information on canning, contact
your local U.S. Government Agricultural
Department Extension Office or companies who
manufacture home canning products.
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.
•To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are
centered on the grates.
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.
Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.
• Use for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
Ceramic or
ceramic glass • Heats slowly and unevenly.
• Use on low to medium settings.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Earthenware • Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Use on low settings.
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or
enamel-on-cast iron • See cast iron and stainless steel.
Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.
•
A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides
even heating.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS

USING YOUR RANGE
Positioning racks and pans
Place the oven racks where you need them before
turning on the oven.
•To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position,
raise the front edge and lift it out.
•Be sure the rack(s) is level.
•Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands
if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.
•For best performance, cook on one rack. Place
the rack so the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.
•When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks
on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of
cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at
approximately three quarters of the total bake time.
Increase baking time, if necessary.
•For best results allow 2 inches (5 cm) of space
around each pan and between pans and oven walls.
Extra oven rack position (roasting rack)
Use this rack position when roasting food too large
to be placed on the first
rack position.
For proper roasting,
follow these
guidelines:
•To avoid spillage,
remove food before
pulling out the rack.
•Tilt the rack up at the
front before pulling it
over the door.
•Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan (meat
juices or water) so your food does not get overdone.

BAKEWARE TYPE
Light colored aluminum • Light golden crusts
• Even browning • Use temperature and time recommended
in recipe.
Dark aluminum and other
bakeware with dark, dull,
and/or non-stick finish
• Brown, crisp crusts • May reduce baking temperature 25°F.
• Use suggested baking time.
• Use temperature and time recommended in recipe
for pies, breads, and casseroles.
• Place rack in center of oven.
Ovenproof glassware,
ceramic glass, or ceramic • Brown, crisp crusts • May reduce baking temperature 25°F.
Insulated cookie sheets or
baking pans • Little or no bottom browning • Place in the bottom third of oven. • May need to increase baking time.
Stainless steel • May need to increase baking time.
• Crisp crustsStoneware • Follow manufacturer's instructions.
• Light, golden crusts

BEST USED FOR GUIDELINES
•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 block the oven bottom vents.
•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
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.

Roasting meats and poultry
•For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a
shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the
drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.
•Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate
doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of
the largest muscle or thickest portion of the meat
or poultry. Make sure the thermometer is not
touching bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.

a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower
the oven temperature and give you an incorrect
reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading
will change as your oven cycles.
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds.
The display will show the current offset
temperature, for example “0,” if you have not
already adjusted the temperature.
2. Set the new offset temperature.
Press ▲to raise the temperature or ▼to lower
the temperature in 10°F amounts. You can set
the temperature change to as low as -30°F or as
high as +30°F. A minus (-) sign will appear before
the number when decreasing the temperature
setting. The minus sign shows the oven will be
cooler by the displayed amount. There is no sign
in front of the number when increasing the
temperature setting.
3. Enter the adjustment.
NOTE: The oven control will stay adjusted even
after a power failure.
How to determine the amount of
adjustment needed
The chart at the right tells you how much to adjust
the offset temperature to get the cooking results
you want. You can figure out cooking results by the
amount of browning, moistness, and rising times for
baked foods.

APPROXIMATE TIME
(MINUTES)
Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted to individual tastes.
Very thin cuts, such as fish fillets, may not need to be turned.
Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through
a vent that is near the middle of the backguard.
The vent lets air circulate properly. Be careful not to
block the vent, or you will get poor baking/roasting
results.
NOTE: Never store plastics, paper, or other items
that could melt or burn near the oven vent, or any
of the surface burners.
