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.
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.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or during
the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area
may become hot.

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.

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.
• Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
For up-to-date information on canning, contact
Agriculture Canada or companies who manufacture
home canning products.
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.
• 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 • Heats slowly and unevenly.
ceramic glass • 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

• Besuretherack(s)islevel.
•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.
•For best results allow 2 inches (5 cm) of space
around each pan and between pans and oven
walls.
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE PLACE
2 pans Side by side or slightly
3 or 4 pans In opposite corners on
each oven rack. Stagger
pans so no pan is directly
over another.
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

so your food does not get overdone.

•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
(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.
Baking performance is affected by the type of bakeware used. Use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe.
BAKEWARE TYPE BEST USED FOR GUIDELINES
Light colored aluminum • Light golden crusts • Use temperature and time recommended
• Even browning in recipe.
• Brown, crisp crusts
Dark aluminum and other
bakeware with dark, dull,
and/or non-stick finish
• May reduce baking temperature 25°F (14°C).
• Use suggested baking time.
• Use temperature and time recommended in recipe
for pies, breads, and casseroles.
• Place rack in center of oven.
Ovenproof glassware, • Brown, crisp crusts • May reduce baking temperature 25°F (14°C).
ceramic glass, or ceramic
Insulated cookie sheets or • Little or no bottom browning • Place in the bottom third of oven.
baking pans • May need to increase baking time.
Stainless steel • Light, golden crusts • May need to increase baking time.
• Uneven browning
