BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS 13 Gas surface burner types Assembly of the Burner Caps The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quickly and in large amounts increases as the burner size increases. Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations. • Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Using Proper Cookware Cookware Material Types The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in “Figure 2: Testing cookware” and “Figure 3: Proper cookware”. The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS 15 Install Burner Grates Home Canning To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and align them into the cooktop recess..

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven Vent Location Types of Oven Rack The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS 27 Air Fry The Air Fry feature works best for single rack baking with packaged and convenience foods. It works well with most recipes and can be programmed for temperatures between 170°F and 550°F. Follow the recipe or package directions for food preparation quantity, time, and temperature. 7 6 5 4 3 2 Important: • Food should be arranged in single layers on the air fry tray and placed on rack position 3 for best results.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Self Clean Self Clean cleans with very high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), eliminating soils completely or reducing them to very fine powdered ashes you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. • Do not spray oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS 29 Setting Self Clean The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during the first self clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors. To set self clean: • Do not attempt to open the oven door when the OVEN LOCK indicator light is flashing. Allow about 15 seconds for the motorized door latch mechanism to completely lock or unlock the oven door. 1.
