Using Your Range

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO. Push in and turn to set.

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

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 position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustrations as a guide.
For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. 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 COOKIES AND LAYER CAKES ON 2 RACKS
Baking Layer Cakes
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use the Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 5, and a flat rack in rack position 2. If you do not have 2 flat racks, use a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 6.
Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 3″ (7.6 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front cakes.

Baking Cookies
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use the Convection Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 6, and a flat rack in rack position 3. If you do not have 2 flat racks, use a flat rack in rack position 2 and a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 6. If you do not have Convection Bake, use the standard  Bake function.
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 the 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 the bulb from the socket.
4. Replace bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle bulb. To avoid damage to or decrease the life of the new bulb, do not touch the bulb with bare fingers.
5. Replace bulb cover by turning clockwise.
6. Reconnect power.

IMPORTANT: Do not use lamps rated higher than 40 W.
