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:
•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.
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.

unless your recipe
recommends it.
NOTE: The oven will
cook normally even
though the preheat
conditioning timer is
displayed.
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.

As the preheat conditioning ends, the selected
oven temperature replaces “PrE” on the display
and the time of day reappears. You will hear a
1-second tone, indicating the oven is ready to use.
The ACCUBAKE®system electronically regulates
the preheat time and temperature to maintain a
precise temperature range for the best cooking
results. The preheat and set temperatures may
be different at the end of the countdown. This
is normal.
NOTES:
•When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F,
no preheating time will be shown on the display.
•You can change the temperature setting any

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.
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 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. Enter the adjustment.
NOTE: You must press START/ENTER or your
changes will not be made.
To display temperatures in °C instead of °F:
Press and hold the custom broil pad for 5 seconds.
You will hear a short tone and the temperatures
displayed will switch to °C. To switch back to
°F, repeat the instructions above. Whenever
you switch, “°C” or “°F” will be displayed for
5 seconds.
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.
NOTE: DO NOT measure the 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.

To custom broil at a lower temperature:
•If your food is cooking too fast, press the ▼temp
pad until “325°F” shows on the small display.
•If you want your food to broil slower from the start,
press CUSTOM BROIL and press the ▼ temp pad
so a temperature between 300°F and 525°F shows
on the small display. Press START/ENTER.
Lower temperature settings let the broil heating
element cycle and slow cooking results. The lower
the temperature, the slower the cooking.
NOTE: Fish and chicken are some foods that may
cook better if you use lower broiling temperatures.

Broiling guidelines
•Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. They
are designed to drain extra juices from the
cooking 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
cleaning 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 electronic MEALTIMER control will turn the
oven on and off at times you set, even when you
are not around.
Delayed time baking/roasting is ideal for foods
that do not need a preheated oven, like meats and
casseroles. Do not use delayed time cooking for
cakes, cookies, etc. – they will not rise properly.
Before using the electronic MEALTIMER
control, make sure the clock is set to the correct
time of day. (See the “Setting the clock” section.)
To start baking/roasting now and stop
automatically:
1. Place the oven rack(s) where you need them and
put your food in the
oven. To place your
racks correctly, see
“Positioning racks and
pans” in “Using the
Oven” earlier in this
section.
2. Choose the bake setting.
3. Set the temperature (optional).
Do this step if you want to set a temperature
other than 350°F. Press ▲to raise the
temperature or ▼to lower the temperature in 5°F
amounts. Use these pads until the temperature
you want shows on the small display.
4. Press COOK TIME.

reminder tones.
8. Turn off the oven.
