Surface Burners

NOTE: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover, and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section in the Owner’s Manual.

Alignment: Be sure to align the gas tube opening in the burner base with the orifice holder on the cooktop and the igniter electrode with the notch in the burner base.

  • (A) Burner cap
  • (B) Gas tube opening
  • (C) Burner base
  • (D) Igniter electrode
  • (E) Orifice holder

NOTE: The oval burner base is permanently attached to the burner cap.Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube opening by always using a burner cap.

  • (A) 1-1 1/2″ (2.5-3.8 cm)
  • (B) Burner ports

To Clean:IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF and the cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust removers. Do not wash in the dishwasher

  1. Remove the burner cap and the burner base, and clean according to “General Cleaning” section in the Owner’s Manual.
  2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
  3. Clean clogged burner ports 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.
  4. Replace the burner base. The burner bases and caps must be properly positioned before cooking. Your range comes with three sizes of burners and caps. See the following illustration for burner positions.(A) Small (AUX)(B) Large (UR)(C) Oval(D) Medium (SR)(E) Large (UR)
  5. Replace the burner cap, making sure it is properly aligned with the burner base. If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners will not light.

  6. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap alignment. If the burner still does not light, turn off the burner. Do not service the burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
EZ-2-Lift™ Hinged Cast Iron Grates

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the proper position, the grates should be flush and level. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping or scratching of the cooktop.

Your cooktop comes with hinged grates for easier cleaning. The grates pivot upward and toward the sides of the cooktop for easy access under the grates.

The grates will stop once they are moved to their vertical (fully open) position. A 20″ (50.8 cm) minimum clearance from the countertop to the bottom of the upper cabinets/appliances is needed to fully open the grates. Be sure to return the grates to their normal (down) position once cleaning is complete. The grates are removable for cleaning.

To attach the grates to their hinges, insert the grate slot over the hinge pin on the side of the cooktop. Be sure to keep the grate angled above the cooktop to avoid scratching the cooktop until the grate is seated on the hinge pin. Then position the grate down onto the cooktop.

(A) Grate slot(B) Hinge pi

Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the gas flame.

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 coils. 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 grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred which affects cooking results.Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.

Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Aluminum
  • Heats quickly and evenly
  • Suitable for all types of cooking.
  • Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
  • May leave aluminum residues, which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.
Cast iron
  • Heats slowly and evenly
  • Good for browning and frying.
  • Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or Ceramic glass
  • Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Heats slowly, but unevenly.
  • Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.
Copper
  • Heats very quickly and evenly.
  • May leave copper residues, which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.
Earthenware / Stoneware
  • Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Use on low heat settings
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or cast iron
  • See stainless steel or cast iron.
Stainless steel
  • Heats quickly, but unevenly
  • A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.

For best results, the cookware should be centered above the burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.

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 above the burner.
  • Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
  • For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office, or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

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.

2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4 for regular baking.2-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 2 and 4 for convection baking.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2″ (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.

Number of Pan(s) Position on Rack
1 Center of rack
2 Side-by-side
3 OR 4 Refer to the Baking Layer Cakes image in the Quick Start Guide
Baking and Roasting

PreheatingWhen beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Rapid PreheatRapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Rapid Preheat. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for single-rack baking.

Oven TemperatureWhile in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.

AccuBake® Temperature Management SystemThe AccuBake® Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Frozen Bake™ Technology

Frozen Bake™ Technology can be used to cook prepackaged frozen food without needing to preheat the oven and without overbrowning the food. There are 4 preprogrammed food options to choose from: Pizza, Lasagna, Nuggets/Fries, and Pie. Frozen Bake™ Technology should only be used for these foods. Cook only 1 package at a time when using Frozen Bake™ Technology. Use the recommended temperature and maximum recommended time from the packaging. A beep will alert you to check the food’s doneness before the cook time is completed and again at the end of the cook time. The display will prompt you to add to the cook time or end the cycle.

Broiling

Close the oven door while broiling. No preheating is necessary. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled. Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information. On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.

  •  For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and  help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. Please refer to the Quick Start Guide for contact information

Lower Oven Convection Cooking

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture, and yielding crustier breads.

If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed.NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.

Position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section before starting convection cooking.With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature or for a shorter length of time.
