Before BEFORE Setting SETTING Surface SURFACE Controls CONTROLS Assembly of the Burner Caps Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations. 13 CAUTION • Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas orifice holder opening. Make sure burner head and caps are properly placed on the surface burners. The round burner heads have a hole which fits over the ignitor.
Before Setting Surface Controls Using Proper Cookware 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”. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 2: Testing cookware”).
Before Setting Surface Controls Gas surface burner types 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. 15 IMPORTANT • Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop before using the surface burners (Figure 4). The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop. • Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food.
Setting SETTING Surface SURFACE Controls CONTROLS Setting surface controls The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance may be equipped with many different sized surface burners. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate for the cookware size. • The standard size burner or burners may be used for most surface cooking needs.
Setting Surface Controls 17 Set proper burner flame size Setting the oval burner The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if flame is yellow-orange. The Oval Burner is controlled by two separate knobs which allow for larger cookware and for the griddle.
Setting Surface Controls Cooking with a griddle (some models) Home Canning Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures. • Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning.
BEFORE Setting SETTING Oven OVEN Controls CONTROLS Before Oven Vent Location 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.
Before Setting Oven Controls Removing and Replacing the Glide Racks The fully extendable Glide rack makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall. To remove - Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position.

Setting Oven Controls Setting the Clock Setting the Timer The clock icon is used to access the time of day setting. When the oven is first plugged in or if there has been an interruption in power to the range, 12:00 will flash in the display. The minute timer in the oven display serves to help keep track of cooking functions. The timer cannot be used during a self clean cycle or if the meat probe function associated with the timer display is in use.
Setting Oven Controls Continuous Bake or 12 Hour Energy Saving The oven is preset to cook up to 12 hours and to shut off automatically. For longer periods of cooking, this feature can be changed to continuous cooking by setting the user preference and turning the energy saving feature off. To set the oven for continuous cooking: 1.
Setting Oven Controls Power+ Preheat To set the preheat temperature for 350°F: Power+ Preheat is available for single rack baking with packaged and convenience foods and can be programmed for temperatures between 170°F and 550°F. Follow the recipe or package directions for food preparation time and temperature. When quick preheat is complete, a reminder tone will sound and food should be placed in the oven. 1. Arrange the interior oven racks.
Setting Oven Controls 25 Setting Bake To set Bake for oven temperature of 350°F: Bake cooks with heat that rises from the oven bottom. The heat and air circulate naturally in the oven. A reminder tone will sound indicating when the set bake temperature is reached and to place the food in the oven. 1. Be sure to arrange racks to the desired positions for the item(s) to be baked. Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Setting Oven Controls Air Fry The Air Fry feature works best for single rack baking with packaged and convenience foods 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. Important: • Air Fry is designed for baking on a single oven rack. Food should be arranged in single layers on the tray.
Setting Oven Controls Convection Bake Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and browning results. Heated air flows around the food from all sides. Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C). Benefits of convection cooking include: • Multiple rack baking. • Foods may cook faster, saving time and energy.
Setting Oven Controls Convection Roast To set oven for convection roasting: Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside. 1. Place meat on roasting rack and place in oven. CAUTION Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven.
Setting Oven Controls 29 Convection Roasting tips: • Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry. • Arrange oven racks so meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven. • Since convection roast cooks faster, you may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
Setting Oven Controls Using the Broil Feature To set broil: Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling is direct heat cooking and may produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. 1. Arrange oven racks while oven is cool. Broil is preset to 550°F (288°C). WARNING Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher.
Setting Oven Controls 31 Important notes: • Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. • For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food and help avoid spatter and reduce smoking. • When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
Setting Oven Controls Meat Probe Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams or poultry, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food. Before using the meat probe read the important information listed here: IMPORTANT • The probe feature must be set before setting the cooking mode and oven temperature.
Setting Oven Controls 33 To set probe: Proper placement of probe in food. Note: The minimum setting is 140ºF (60ºC); the maximum is 210ºF (99ºC). Default is 170ºF (77ºC). Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the center of the thickest part of meat or food. For best results, do not allow the probe temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware. 1. Insert the probe into the food. Place prepared food on the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven. 2.
Setting Oven Controls receptacle probe connector handle Table 3: USDA recommended minimum internal cooking temperatures probe cable Food Type Internal Temp.

Setting Oven Controls 35 Trailing Keep Warm with Meat Probe Keep Warm When the meat probe reaches the target temperature, the oven will automatically switch to keep warm (170°F) and remain on for up to 3 hours before turning off automatically. The display will continue to show the meat probe temperature until either keep warm is canceled or by disconnecting the meat probe from the receptacle. Once turned off, the probe icon and temperature will fade from the display.
Setting Oven Controls Setting the Sabbath Feature for the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at www.star-k.org. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the oven control. The Sabbath feature may only be used with the bake function. Once the oven is properly set using bake with the Sabbath feature active, the oven will remain on until cancelled.
Setting Oven Controls Adjusting the Oven Temperature The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. 37 Using the + or - key in the bottom of the display, press until the desired temperature change (offset) is reached. The display will change ± 5° with each key press to a maximum of + 35° or a minimum of – 35°F.
Setting Oven Controls Self Clean A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. This function can be programmed for clean times between 2 and 4 hours. • Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle. To clean use hot, soapy water and a cloth.
Setting Oven Controls 39 To set a self clean cycle: If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self clean cycle, remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. A 3 hour self clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete. It is recommended to use a 2 hour self clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils.
