Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to IGNITE.Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate
POWER FAILURE

ALUMINUM FOIL
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely
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.
Racks
- Position racks before turning on the oven.
- Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
- Make sure racks are level.
- Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least1/2″ (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil element.To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustrations as a guide for positioning racks.For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior in the lower oven, use a flat rack in rack position 5. Side 1 should cook for approximately 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.
Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use rack positions 2 and 4 with the Convection Bake function. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use rack positions 2 and 4 with the Bake function.
