Setting Surface

Controls

The control shown below may not look identical to the Surface Control knob on your range; it is only representational.

Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.

To operate the surface burner:

1.Place cooking utensil on burner.

2.Push the Surface Control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position.

3.Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All surface electronic ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.

3.Visually check that the burner has lit.

4.Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the Surface Control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE position.)

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then push in and slowly turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Do not place plastic items such as 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 wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Arranging Oven Racks

(Some models may have one rack.) ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (Prior to operating the oven). Always use oven mitts when using the oven and broiling compartments.

Oven Vent Locations (shown)

To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

To bake on one rack, place the rack on position 3 or 4. To bake on two racks (some models), place the racks on positions 2 and 4.

When appliance is on, warm air is

released through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper burner operation and good baking results.
