In Case of a Power Failure

USING THE RANGE: In Case of a Power Failure / Surface Burners

In the event of a power failure, the oven is inoperable and no attempt should be made to operate it. However, the
surface burners may be lit with a match. Using extreme caution, hold a lit match near the ports beneath the surface

Stove Top Grills

Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your
gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause
incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide
levels above allowable standards. This could be
hazardous to your health.
Do not use stove top grills

Using a Wok
Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches
or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.
Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the
burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly,
resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable
standards. This could be hazardous to your health. Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Griddle (on some models)

USING THE RANGE: Griddle

WARNING Fire Hazard
■ Use care when cooking greasy foods. Spilled grease may result in fire.
■ Never place any items on the griddle when it is not in use. Heat from surrounding burners can heat
the griddle and may result in fire.
■ Place and remove the griddle only when griddle is cool and all surface burners are turned OFF.

Positioning Your Griddle

The reversible cast-iron griddle (on some models) and the nonstick aluminum griddle (on some models) can only be
used over the center burner of the rangetop. To position the griddle, remove the center grate (if present), and replace
it with the griddle. Do not turn on the center burner until you are certain the griddle has been positioned correctly.

Preheating Your Griddle

If your center burner is a single oval burner, preheat your griddle for 2-5 minutes on Hi before placing food on the
griddle. If your center burner is a dual oval burner, preheat your griddle for 5-10 minutes on Hi before placing food on
the griddle. Once the griddle is preheated, turn the heat down to the cook setting outlined in the table corresponding
to your griddle. To determine the type of burner you have, see the Types of Surface Burners section.

Using Your Nonstick Aluminum Griddle (on some models)

Oven Racks

USING THE RANGE: Oven Racks / Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
Your oven has two rack positions in the upper oven
(A, B) and four rack positions in the lower oven (1, 2,
3, 4). Recommended rack positions for various types
of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting
rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For
example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes,
Upper Oven
muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position
higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving Lower Oven
them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow
air flow. This may improve cooking evenness. Rack stop

Removing and Replacing Flat Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out
to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the
stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.
To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto
Removing racks
the rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and push
the rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and push
it in until it is all the way into the oven.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a
steam-clean cycle. To improve sliding conditions, use a
soft cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable oil on the left
and right edges of the racks and/or rack supports.
NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for
faster preheat, improved efficiency and optimal cooking
performance. Replacing racks

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

CAUTION Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat
or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of
these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more
foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls
to prevent poor heat circulation.

 Oven Cooking Modes
USING THE RANGE: Oven Cooking Modes
Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below.
Refer to the Cooking Guide section for rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods.

Bake Air Fry

The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack Air Fry is a special, no-preheat, cooking mode that is
cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than

temperature for up to 3 hours. Preheating is not required.
Convection Roast Do not use warm to heat cold food other than crisping

browning and reduces cooking time. Check food earlier
than the recipe suggests when using this mode. To
use this mode press the Conv Roast pad, enter a
temperature with number pads, and then press Start.

Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in
this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while
broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack
positions as placing food closer to the broil element
increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats
igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 is not recommended.
Broiling can be used for foods that would typically be
grilled.
Adjust the rack position in order to vary the intensity
of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil
element when a seared surface and rare interior are
desired. For best performance center the food below the
broil heating element.
Press the Broil pad twice for High or once for Low
depending on the amount of searing and the internal
temperature that is preferred. The High setting is best for
thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less done
on the interior. The Low setting is preferred for thicker
cuts of meat and foods you liket o be cooked all the way
through. It is not necessary to preheat the oven for these
modes. Then press Start.

Oven Air Vents

USING THE RANGE: Oven Air Vents / Oven Cooking Guide

Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They
provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the
range to keep cool and operate properly with correct
combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at
the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom
of the range. Vent appearance and location vary.

Oven Cooking Guide

Cook food thoroughly to help protect against food borne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations
