SURFACE CONTROLS
Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in
.
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See
Figure 1: Check for level-bottomed cookware
Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See
Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.

SURFACE CONTROLS
Home Canning
•
•
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance:
•
•
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.
•
•
•
•
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed
1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the burner grates.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
Check with the USDA (United States Department of
Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
•
•
Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully.
Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural
Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.
Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.
CAUTION
Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to vent steam away from you.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.
Element on indicator lights
Your range is equipped with one or more element on indicator lights located on the control panel just above the
surface control knobs (See Figure 3 ). The element on
indicator light will glow when a surface element is turned on.
A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.
element on indicator light
Figure 3: Indicator light location
IMPORTANT
Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking elements at the same time unless the utensil is designed for that purpose. This can cause uneven heating results. This can also cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture (for ceramic cooktop models only).

SURFACE CONTROLS
Operating Surface Elements
To operate surface elements:
CAUTION
Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The element surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the element or the area surrounding the element is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls, or reflector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt to make contact with the surface element.
NOTE
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the surface setting needed for best cooking results.
1.
Place correctly sized cooking utensil on surface element.
2.
3.
Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Start most surface cooking on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish.

Oven vent location
The oven vent is located through the upper front trim and visible when the oven door is open. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Doing so may cause cooking failures, fires, or damage to the range. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

Oven Rack Descriptions
•
•
Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.
The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design.
The offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/
2 of a rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in most oven rack positions.
•
To maximize oven cooking space, place the bottom oven rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking or roasting large cuts of meat.
Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation. Be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides, or back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware for even heat to reach the food.
IMPORTANT
Remove all oven racks and accessories before starting a self-clean cycle. If the oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, they will lose their special coating properties, may turn blue, and no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity easily. If your model came with porcelain-enameled racks, those may be left in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

Baking Tips
For best bake results:
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads.
•
•
When using any single rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of the oven.
For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4 (See
•
•
•
When baking using two oven racks, position cookware as shown in
Figure 9 . Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of
space between cookware for proper air circulation.
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection function for best results.

Self-Cleaning
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with temperatures well above normal cooking temperatures which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperature much higher than those used in normal cooking.
Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal.
Oder is also normal because the food soil is being removed.
Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
IMPORTANT
Adhere to the following self-clean precautions:
Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
Do not clean the oven door gasket ( Figure 11
). The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the gasket.
Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils, and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures and will melt.
Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories. If the oven racks are not removed, they will lose their special coating properties and no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity easily.
Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
These areas are shown in white (
CAUTION
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is complete.
The oven may still be very hot.
Figure 11: Clean around the oven door gasket
CAUTION
To avoid possible burns, use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Wall Oven
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the number of major cleaning later.
Surface Type
Aluminum and Vinyl
Painted and plastic control knobs
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trims
Recommendation
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Use a soft cloth and clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. Do not spray liquids directly on the oven control and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels - they will damage the finish. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Your oven finish may be made with stainless steel (some models). Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use any store bought cleaners like stainless steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorine or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a
50/50 solution of water and vinegar. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
Oven racks must be removed from oven cavity. Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door.
Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the door. Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-clean models, the oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket.

CARE AND CLEANING
Porcelain enamel cooktop cleaning instructions
(some models)
WARNING
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the cooking surface.
CAUTION
Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces including cooktop and door frame.
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food spills and grease spatters are not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.
Daily cleaning for normal soil:
1.
Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2.
3.
Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water.
If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild household cleaners.
4.
Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
Daily cleaning for heavy, burned-on soil:
1.
2.
Allow cooktop surface to cool.
Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
3.
If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning cream on the spots and rub gently using a clean damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed.
Frequent cleaning with the cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions.
Daily cleaning for sugary spill overs:
Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface.
Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when following the steps below.
1.
Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.
2.
3.
Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills away from the element area with a clean damp cloth.
