Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven vent location

• The oven vent is centered just below the control panel as shown in Fig. 1. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block the oven vent.

Removing, replacing, and arranging oven racks

• ALUMINUM FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
• Arranging – always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).
• To remove – pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up the front of the rack and slide out.
• To replace – fit oven rack onto the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of the oven rack upward and slide the rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

Types of oven racks

• The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs.
• The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than flat oven racks. This design provides several additional possible positions between the flat rack positions.

Setting Surface Controls

Setting surface burners

• Your gas appliance may be equipped with different-sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared.

To set surface burners:

1. Place cooking utensils on the center of the surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensils are stable on the burner grate.
2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.
   • Important notes:
   • DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the control knob setting remains in the LITE position. When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.

Operating the Double Ring Burner:

1. Push the right front surface burner control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position -Fig. 1.
2. Release the knob and rotate to the Lite position.
3. Visually check that both inner and outer rings for the Double-ring burners are lit (See Fig. 3). Once lit, push in the control knob and to turn counterclockwise out of the Lite position, and adjust to the desired flame size.
4. When adjusting for a low or simmer-type flame setting, continue to rotate the control knob counterclockwise from the MED setting towards LO (See Fig 2). Between the MED and LO setting the flame for the outer ring portion of the burner will turn off leaving only the inner burner with a flame for simmering (See Fig. 4). Make any further flame adjustments as needed.

Conv Bake

Benefits of the convection bake feature

• Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
• Multiple rack baking.
• No special pans or bakeware is needed.
• Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results.
• Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
• Most foods will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature.
• Conv Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (149°C) to 550°F (288°C).
• Suggestions for Convection baking:
• Reduce oven temperature to 25°F from the recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cooking time.
• For best results when using a single oven rack, place the rack in position 3 or 4 (See Fig. 1). When using 2 oven racks, place them in positions 1 and 4. When using 3 oven racks place in positions 1, 3, and 6 (use offset oven rack only in position 6).

Broil

• Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The broil feature is factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil function temperature may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).
• Be aware that the suggested broil settings table (Fig. 2) are recommendation only. Increase or decrease broiling times, or move to a different oven rack position to suit doneness. If the food you are broiling is not listed on the table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item closely.

Proper meat probe placement:

• Always insert a meat probe so that the probe tip rests in the center of the thickest part of the meat. Do not allow the meat probe to touch bone, fat, gristle or cookware. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert a meat probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meatloaf or casseroles, insert a meat probe into the center of the food. To find the center of the food visually measure using a probe as a guide (See Fig. 3). When cooking fish, insert a meat probe just above the gill.
• For whole poultry or turkey, insert a meat probe into the thickest part of the inner thigh, below the leg (See Fig. 4).
