Stew or steam food. Simmer. Keep food warm. Melt chocolate or butter. REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot. NOTE: On self-cleaning models, the cooktop will not operate when the range is in a self-cleaning mode.
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results. Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
Cookware IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner. Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware.
Clock This is a 12-hour clock and does not show a.m. or p.m. To Set: Before setting, make sure the oven and Timer are off. 1. Press CLOCK. 2. Press the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set the time of day.
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration (on models with manual oven control): 1. Make sure the oven temperature control knob is in the Off position. Pull oven temperature control knob straight off and turn it over. 2. Loosen the locking screws inside the oven temperature control knob.
Press TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a temperature other than 350°F (177ºC) in 5°F (3ºC) amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F (77ºC) and 500°F (260ºC). When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F (77ºC), no preheat conditioning time will be shown in the display.
3. Press START/ENTER. The oven control automatically sets preheating times based on the oven temperature selected. The temperature can be changed after this step. START/ ENTER does not need to be pressed again. After the oven is preheated and the countdown time is finished, a 1-second tone will sound, the ON indicator light will go off and the set temperature will appear on the display.
When the set cook time ends, the oven will shut off automatically and “End” will appear on the display. 8. Press OFF/CANCEL or open the oven door to clear the display. RANGE CARE Self-Cleaning Cycle (on some models) Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely.
Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer: Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt. Remove all items from the storage drawer. How the Cycle Works IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds.
