Close the manual shutoff valve. 2. Remove the surface burner grates. 3. Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock into place. Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum. Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler. Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics. COOKWARE Aluminum CHARACTERISTICS Heats quickly and evenly. Suitable for all types of cooking. Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks. Heats slowly and evenly. Good for browning and frying. Maintains heat for slow cooking. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Heats slowly, but unevenly. Ideal results on low to medium heat settings. Heats very quickly and evenly. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Use on low heat settings. See stainless steel or cast iron. Cast iron A A. Support rods Ceramic or Ceramic glass 4. Clean clogged pilot holes with a straight pin as shown. Do not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist. Copper Earthenware Porcelain enamel-onsteel or cast iron 5. Lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support rods back to unlock them. 6. Slowly lower the cooktop into place. 7. Open the manual shutoff valve. 8. Ignite pilot lights. 9. Replace surface grates. Stainless steel Heats quickly, but unevenly. A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating. OVEN USE Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and wellventilated room. Home Canning When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool. Center the canner on the grate. Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time. For more information, contact your local agricultural department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance. Aluminum Foil IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware. On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover the oven bottom vents. Cookware IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner. Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates. For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely. To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least ¹/" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges. 8 Positioning Racks and Bakeware IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. BAKEWARE/ RESULTS Stainless steel Light, golden crusts RECOMMENDATIONS May need to increase baking time. RACKS Uneven browning Position racks before turning on the oven. Do not move racks with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. Stoneware/Baking stone Crisp crusts Ovenproof glassware, ceramic glass or ceramic Brown, crisp crusts Follow manufacturer's instructions. For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the top of food will be centered in the oven. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out. FOOD Large roasts, turkeys, angel food, bundt and tube cakes, quick breads, pies Yeast breads, casseroles, meat and poultry Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes RACK POSITION 1 or 2 2 2 or 3 May need to reduce baking temperatures slightly. Oven Vent A BAKEWARE To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide. NUMBER OF PAN(S) 1 2 3 or 4 POSITION ON RACK Center of rack. Side by side or slightly staggered. Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another. A. Oven vent The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent. Baking and Roasting IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the interior finish, do not place food or cookware directly on the oven door or the oven bottom. Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe. Bakeware The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer's recommendations and use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide. BAKEWARE/ RESULTS Light colored aluminum Light golden crusts RECOMMENDATIONS To Bake or Roast: Use temperature and time recommended in recipe. Even browning 1. Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired temperature setting. 2. Place food in oven. The oven burner will cycle on and off to keep the oven temperature at the setting. 3. Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF when finished. Dark aluminum and other bakeware with dark, dull and/or nonstick finish Brown, crisp crusts May need to reduce baking temperatures slightly. Use suggested baking time. For pies, breads and casseroles, use temperature recommended in recipe. Place rack in center of oven. Place in the bottom third of oven. May need to increase baking time. Broiling BROILER The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and grid slide out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler and oven doors closed. To avoid damage to the broiler, do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door while it is open. Insulated cookie sheets or baking pans Little or no bottom browning Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler door during broiling. Do not use broiler cavity for storage. 9 Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance. It is designed to drain juices and help avert spatter and smoke. For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning. Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avert curling. Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned. 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. RANGE CARE Removing the Oven Bottom The oven bottom can be removed for standard cleaning of the oven. Before cleaning, make sure the oven is completely cool. To Remove: 1. Remove the oven racks. 2. Place fingers in the slots in the bottom panel. To Broil: 1.
