BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
CAUTION
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop 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 range cooktop.
IMPORTANT
Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the cooktop.
NOTE
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the settings needed for best cooking results.
Cookware material types
The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
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.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.
For deep fat frying; use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown or cook properly.
*These settings are based for
Fig. 2
CAUTION
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Fig. 3).

Setting surface controls
The smaller simmer burner (some models) is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc. The standard size (9,500 BTU) burners may be used for most surface cooking needs.
The larger quick boil burner or burners (some models) are best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.
Setting a surface burner
1.Place cooking utensil on top of surface burner grate. Make sure the cooking untensil is centered and stable on the grate.
2.Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).
3.Release the knob and rotate to the lite position. Visually check that the gas burner has lit.
4.Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.
IMPORTANT
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 slowly turn the surface control knob to lite. After burner lights push in and turn knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.
NOTE
DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the control knob is left in the LITE position. When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position, all electronic ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
CAUTION
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop 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 range cooktop.
Seasoning, using and caring for the griddle
Before first use:
???Wash griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry completely.
???Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).
???Preheat your oven to 350??F. Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.
???Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350??F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.
???The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from the seasoning process. If desired, wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.
Using the griddle:
Remove the center burner grate and carefully replace with the griddle (some models). Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process. DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.
After each use:
???To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
???After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.
???Do not clean griddle in the dishwasher.
???Dry Immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before storing.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for canning procedures.
???Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a

Convect (all models)
Benefits of the convect features
???Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
???Multiple rack baking.
???No special pans or bakeware needed.
Convect uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Layer cakes will have better results using the bake pad.
Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster and more evenly with the convect feature.
Suggestions for convect baking
1.For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.
2.Reduce oven temperature 25??F from recipe???s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe???s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.
3.When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results (Fig. 1).
Convect bake (all models)
To set convect (convection bake) with a default oven set temperature of 350??F:

Meats cooked with convect roast will be juicer and poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.
NOTE
When choosing between the convect features, use the convect key pad to toggle between the convect bake or convect roast choices.
Suggestion for convect roasting
1.Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using convect roast.
2.Since convect roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe (check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
3.Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent the meat from browning properly.
To set convect roast (convection roast) with a default oven set temperature of 350??F:
1.Press convect.
2.Press convect again.
3.Press start (See Fig. 3).

To set convect using default oven set temperature of 350??F and adding the convect convert:
1.Press convect.
2.Press convect convert.
Fig. 2
NOTES
When convect convert is used with a cook time or a delay start setting, the convect convert feature will display a "CF" for check food when the bake time is 75% complete (See Fig. 2). At this time the oven control will sound 1 long beep at regular intervals until the set cook time has finished.
The convection fan will take 6 minutes to begin rotating once the convect convert feature has been activated.
When using convect convert cook time reductions may vary depending on the oven set temperature.
The minimum amount of cook time allowed using the convect convert feature with a bake time or a delay time bake setting is 20 minutes.
Layer cakes will have better results using the normal bake feature.
18
Broil
Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct exposure to flame heat for optimum browing results. When broiling always remember to arrange the oven racks while oven is still cool. Position the oven rack as suggested in the broil settings table (See Fig. 4).
1.Place the broiler insert on the broil pan, then place meat on the insert. Remember to follow all warnings and cautions.
2.Arrange the interior oven rack to recommended position (Figs. 1 & 4). For optimum browning results, preheat oven for 5 minutes before adding food.
3.Be sure to place food and pan directly under upper oven burner.
Close the oven door.
4. Press broil.
5. Press start (See Fig. 3)
