Before setting surface controls

Control the locations of the gas surface burners
Your built-in range is equipped with gas surface burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. The small simmer burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear burner position on the cooktop (see Figures 1 & 2). The standard burner can be used for most surface cooking needs. The standard burners are located at the left front position on the cooktop (see Figures 1 & 2). The power burners are best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The POWER burners are located at the right front and left rear burner positions on the cooktop (see Figures 1 & 2). Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Assembly of the surface burner caps and burner grates
It is very important to make sure that all of the Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations.

1. Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.
2. Discard all packing material (if applicable).
3. Unpack Burner Grates and position on the cooktop.

REMEMBER — DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS, OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING. Always keep the Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place whenever the surface burners are in use.

Setting surface controls

Operating the gas surface controls

1. Place the cooking utensil on the surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (see figures 1 & 2). Note: All four electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.
4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.
5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings to adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position.)

Setting the proper surface burner flame size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining the proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed.

IMPORTANT
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases the risk of being burned by the gas flame.

NOTE
*Note: Settings are based on using mediumweight metal or aluminum pans. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. 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. Clean the burner if the flame is yellow-orange.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven vent location

The oven is vented at the center rear of the cooktop. 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.

CAUTION
Some models are equipped with a blower that runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature. The blower may keep running even if the oven has been turned off, until the components have cooled down.

Air circulation in the oven

If using 1 rack, place it in the center of the oven. If using multiple racks, stagger cookware as shown. For best air circulation and baking results, allow 2-4″ (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Arranging oven racks
Always arrange oven racks when THE oven is cool (Before operating the oven). Always use oven mittens when using the oven. To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up the front of the rack and slide out. To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Recommended rack positions

Types of oven racks

Your built-in range may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack styles shown.

• Flat handle oven rack (Figure 1).
• Flat oven half rack (Figure 2 & 3 – Some models).
• EffortlessTM oven rack (Figure 4 – Some models).

The Flat Oven Handle Rack has a handle to facilitate the sliding of the rack when a large amount of food is placed on it. The Flat Oven Half Rack has a removable insert that can provide extra space for larger food items. The right half rack portion may still be used for other food items like a casserole dish (See Figures 2 & 3). To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front insert side (See Figure 5) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall, insert rear hooks at the back of the insert (See figure 5) and lay the insert
down. Make sure both insert front hooks snap into the rack (See figure 6). Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge of the Flat Half Rack. For best results, allow 2 inches between the pan placed on the rack and the oven side or rear walls.

The Effortless™ oven rack system
Some models are equipped with a special oven rack system that automatically partially extends the oven rack from the interior oven glides to assist in easier access to your food items. This feature works whenever the oven door is opened or closed.
To assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:

1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied oven rack (Effortless™ Oven Rack is a flat rack with a special dark coating on the left and right rack sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.
2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely cool before proceeding.
3. Place the oven rack in positions 1, 2 or 3 only (see previous page to verify positions). Be sure the rack connector brackets are at the rear of the range and pointing towards oven bottom (See Figure 2).
4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the oven door open and the oven rack in place, install one end of the connector arm to the hole in the door connector bracket (Figure 1) and the other end in the hole in the rack connector bracket (Figure 2 and as in Figure 3). The oven rack may need to be adjusted in or out in the rack position to match the length of the connector arm.
5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point upwards (See Figures 4 & 5). The connector arm should now be locked into position.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.
7. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out of the oven freely when the door is opened or closed.

CAUTION
REMOVE ALL OVEN RACKS and parts before starting a self-clean cycle. If the oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, the glide ability of the Effortless Oven Rack system will be damaged and will cause all oven racks to lose their shiny finish and or turn blue. Remove ALL oven racks and clean according to instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this manual. Make sure the oven and oven racks are COMPLETELY cooled and safe to touch before attempting to assemble or disassemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system. Never pick up hot oven rack parts.

Before you call (Solutions to Common Problems)

Oven baking

For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc. There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles. The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance.
