OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, located in your appliance’s Owner’s Manual, before operating this appliance

Using Your Oven

  • Step 1. Select oven function
  • Step 2. Set the temperature
  • Step 3. Press Start
  • Step 4. Place food inside the oven once set temperature is reached. Close the oven door.
  • Step 5. (Optional) Enter time to cook
  • Step 6. The Cancel button can be use to cancel the function during or after cook time.

NOTE: For more detailed instructions on specific functions, see the online Control Guide.

Using Your Range

  • Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LITE.
  • 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.
  • The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.

NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn the burner off. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown household fuse. Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained repair specialist.

To Set:

  1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
    NOTE: All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
  2. Turn knob to anywhere between High and Low.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

POWER FAILURE

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner, and
then turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

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.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustrations as a guide.

Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 2 and 5 with regular baking. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.

Baking Cookies
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use racks 2 and 5 with Convect Bake.

BURNER SIZE

Select a burner that best fits your cookware. See the following illustration and chart.

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. Care must be taken to prevent aluminum foil and meat probes from contacting heating elements.

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.

OVEN LIGHT

The oven light is a 40 W halogen bulb. Before replacing, make sure the oven and cooktop are cool and the control knobs are in the Off position.

To Replace:

  1. Disconnect power.
  2. Turn the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven counterclockwise to remove.
  3. Remove bulb from socket.
  4. Replace bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle bulb. To avoid damage to or decreasing the life of the new bulb, do not touch bulb with bare fingers.
  5. Replace bulb cover by turning clockwise.
  6. Reconnect power.
    IMPORTANT: Do not use lamps rated higher than 40 W.

SABBATH MODE

The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting until disabled. For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with Sabbath Mode, visit www.star-k.org or contact us as per the information given below.
