U SING THE SURF ACE COOKING AREAS Using the control knobs Push in the control knobs before turning them to a setting.
9 U SING THE SURF ACE COOKING AREAS ( CONT . ) USING Y OUR RANGE Home canning information To protect your range: • Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results .
10 Using the ceramic glass cooktop (Ceramic glass cooktop model) Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is similar to cooking on coil elements. There are, however, a few differences: • The surface cooking area will glow red when the element is turned on.
11 USING YOUR RANGE General guidelines Follow this section carefully to get the best cooking results. • Before turning on the oven, place oven racks where you need them. • To move a rack, pull it out to the stop, raise the front edge, and lift it out.
12 USING Y OUR RANGE Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles: • Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack with the food. Turn up the foil edges and make sure the foil is about 1 inch larger all around than the dish holding the food.

14 NOTE: If you do not want the clock time displayed, press and hold the clock pad for 5 seconds. To display the clock time again, press and hold the clock pad for 5 seconds. You should not have to reset the time. While the clock is not displayed, you can see the clock for 5 minutes by pressing the clock pad.
15 2. Set the time. Press the “up” ( s ) or “down” ( t ) pad(s) until the correct time shows on the display. 3. Start the minute timer. The minute timer will begin counting down immediately after the timer is started.
16 Your oven is designed with the AccuBake temperature management system to constantly monitor oven temperature. The burner element will cycle, as needed, to maintain the desired temperature. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in operation.
17 3. Set the temperature (optional). Do this step if you want to set a temperature other than 350°F. Press ▲ to raise the tempera- ture or ▼ to lower the temperature in 5°F amounts. Use these pads until the desired temperature shows on the small display.
18 The AccuBake system electronically regulates the preheat time and temperature to maintain a precise temperature range for the best cooking results. The preheat and set temperatures may be different at the end of the countdown. This is normal. 6. When baking, put your food in the oven after the preheat countdown time ends.
19 USING YOUR RANGE A DJUSTING THE OVEN TEMPERA TURE CONTROL Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven. If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the offset temperature by following the steps below.
20 B ROILING NOTES: • Do not preheat when broiling, unless your recipe recommends it. • Leave the door partly open whenever you use the oven to broil. This lets the oven stay at the proper temperatures. • See “Broiling tips” later in this section.
21 4. Press the custom broil pad. 5. Start the oven. You the can change the temperature setting any time before or after pressing the start/enter pad. To change the setting, see “To custom broil at a lower temperature” below. After changing the setting, you do not have to press the start/enter pad again.
22 USING YOUR RANGE B ROILING TIPS • Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to drain extra liquid and grease away from the cooking surface. This drainage helps prevent spatter or smoke. • Do not cover the broiler grid with foil.
23 The electronic MEALTIMER control will turn the oven on and off at times you set, even when you are not around. Delayed time baking/roasting is ideal for foods that do not need a preheated oven, like meats and casseroles. Do not use delayed time cooking for cakes, cookies, etc.
24 6. Start the oven. NOTES: • You can change the temperature or time settings any time after pressing the start/enter pad by repeating Steps 3 or 5.
25 U SING THE ELECTRONIC MEALTIMER TM CONTROL ( CONT . ) USING YOUR RANGE To delay start and stop automatically: 1. Place the oven rack(s) where you need them and put your food in the oven. To place your racks correctly, see “Positioning racks and pans” earlier in this section.
26 6. Press the delay start time pad. 7. Set the start time. Press the “up” ( s ) or “down” ( t ) pad(s) until the correct time shows on the display. The example at the right shows a chosen start time of 2 o’clock. The oven will shut off by itself at 2:30 (the set start time plus the set cook time).
27 USING YOUR RANGE T HE OVEN VENT w W ARNING Burn Hazard Use pot holders when touching items left near oven vent. Failure to do so can result in burns. Ceramic glass cooktop model Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent on the backguard below the control panel.
28 USING Y OUR RANGE Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed: • Slide range forward. • Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor. • Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket. T HE ANTI - TIP BRACKET The range will not tip during normal use.
29 USING Y OUR RANGE T HE STORAGE DRA WER Use the storage drawer to store cookware. You can remove the drawer to make it easier to clean under the range. Be careful when handling the drawer. Removing the storage drawer: 1. Empty the drawer before you remove it.
30 U SING THE S ELF -C LEANING C YCLE The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the inside of the oven. Like the other functions of your range, you run the Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use controls.
31 NOTE: Make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. (See “Setting the clock” in the “Using Your Range” section.) To start cleaning immediately: 1. Press the auto clean pad. This will automatically set a 3 1 ⁄ 2 -hour Self-Cleaning cycle.
32 To delay the start using delay start time: 1. Press the auto clean pad. This will automatically set a 3 1 ⁄ 2 hour Self-Cleaning cycle. NOTE: There will be a 30-minute cool-down 1 ⁄ 2 hour before the cycle is over. 2. Set the cleaning time (optional).
33 S ETTING THE CONTROLS ( CONT . ) 6. After the Self-Cleaning cycle starts: The door will lock as soon as the oven starts to heat up. 7. After the Self-Cleaning cycle ends: LOCKED goes off and the door unlocks. NOTE: The stop time will be the start time plus the cleaning time.
34 USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE H OW THE CYCLE WORKS The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.
