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.
Easy ways to save energy
•When heating large quantities of liquid for foods
such as pasta or soup, cover with a lid to help
shorten cooking time.
•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 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 melt chocolate or butter.
•To simmer.
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:
•Center the canner over the surface burner. Do
not extend more than 1 inch 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 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.

USING YOUR RANGE
USING THE OVEN
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 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.

BEST USED FOR GUIDELINES
USING YOUR RANGE
NOTE: Do not line the oven bottom with foil or other
liners. It could affect the
oven surface as well as
the quality of your baking.
•Do not cover the entire
rack with aluminum foil.
It will reduce air circula-
tion and give you poor
cooking results.
•Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or
casseroles by placing 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 drip-
pings 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.

Saving energy
•To avoid loss of heat, open the oven door as little
as possible.
•Use a timer to keep track of cooking time.
•Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the
oven by cooking more than one food at a time, or
baking while the oven is still hot after cooking a
meal.

USING YOUR RANGE
Although your new oven is properly adjusted to
provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster
or slower than your old oven.
If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting
results, you can change the offset temperature by
following the steps below.
NOTE: DO NOT measure oven temperature with a
thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the
oven temperature and give you an incorrect read-
ing. Also, the thermometer temperature reading will
change as your oven cycles.
1. Press and hold CLOCK for 5 seconds.
The display will show the time of day. Then you
will see the current offset temperature, for exam-
ple “00,” if you have not already adjusted the
temperature.
2. Set the new offset temperature.
Press sto raise the temperature or tto 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 tem-
perature setting.
3. Press CLOCK to enter the offset temperature.
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.

USING YOUR RANGE
•Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. They
are designed to drain extra juices from the cook-
ing surface. This drainage helps prevent spatter
and smoke.
•To make sure the juices drain well, do not cover
the grid with foil.
•Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the fat
on the edges to prevent curling.
•Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.
•Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning
or removing food.
•After broiling, remove the pan from the oven
when removing the food. Drippings will bake on
the pan if left in the heated oven, making clean-
ing more difficult.
•For easier cleaning, line the bottom of the pan
with aluminum foil. Clean the pan and grid as
soon as possible after each use.

THE OVEN VENT
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.
USING YOUR RANGE
THE STORAGE DRAWER
Use the storage drawer to store cookware. You can
remove the drawer to make it easier to clean under
the range.
Removing the storage drawer:
1. Empty the drawer before you remove it. Pull the
drawer straight out to the first stop. (The stops
are small, round objects formed in the slide rail.
They keep the drawer from sliding all the way
out.) Then lift the front of the drawer and pull it
out to the second stop.
2. Lift the back of the drawer slightly and slide it all
the way out.
Replacing the storage drawer:
1. Position the drawer so that the lower drawer
guides rest just inside the front frame lip.
2. Lift the front of the drawer and push it in until the
metal stops on the drawer slide rails clear the
upper drawer guides. Then slide the drawer
closed.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
BEFORE YOU START
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make
sure you:
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket.
You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.
•Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot
enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to
burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a
soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.
•Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door
and frame.
•Remove the broiler pan and grid and any
cookware/bakeware being stored in the oven.
•Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help
reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
•Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as
possible after the oven cools down. When sugar
is heated to a high temperature in the Self-
Cleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause
the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain.
This can cause staining and etching, pitting, or
faint white spots.
•Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want
them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven
racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will
become harder to slide. (See the “Cleaning chart”
in the “Caring for Your Range” section.) If you
clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place
them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides
are counted from bottom to top.)
•Heat and odors are normal during the Self-Clean-
ing cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by
opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or
other kitchen vent during the cycle.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Move birds to another closed and
well ventilated room.
Hand-clean
frame
Hand-clean door
around edge
TIPS:
•Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the
Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors,
and smoke.
•Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and
results in more smoke than usual.
•Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.
•Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They
may melt.
•Remove any combustible items, such as paper
napkins, from the storage drawer. This includes
utensils with plastic handles that can become
overheated and melt.
•Do not leave any foil in the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and
damage the oven surface.
•The oven light will not work during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
wWARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling
dangerous fumes.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to
burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the
oven gets much hotter than it does for normal bak-
ing or broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or
grease and burns it away.
Your oven is automatically preset for a 31⁄2-hour
Self-Cleaning cycle.
The graph at the right shows you what happens
in a 31⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Notice that the
heating stops 1⁄2hour before the 31⁄2-hour setting
is up.
