This document describes the features, usage, and maintenance of an Amana Gas Range. It serves as a user manual, providing essential information for safe and effective operation.
The Amana Gas Range is designed for cooking food using both surface burners and an oven. Its primary function is to provide a versatile cooking platform for various culinary needs, including baking, roasting, broiling, and stovetop cooking.
The range features a cooktop with sealed surface burners and an oven with electronic controls. The cooktop allows for precise heat control for different cooking tasks, from simmering to rapid boiling. The oven offers multiple cooking modes, including conventional baking, roasting, convection baking, and broiling.
The electronic oven control system provides a user-friendly interface for setting temperatures, cooking times, and activating special functions. It includes a clock, an oven timer, and a lockout feature for safety. The oven also has a self-cleaning cycle, simplifying maintenance by burning off food soils at high temperatures.
The cooktop is equipped with electric igniters that automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to "IGNITE." Users must push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to "IGNITE" to activate a burner. The flame size can be adjusted between "HIGH" and "LOW." It's crucial to use cookware appropriate for the burner size and to avoid letting the flame extend beyond the pan's edge to prevent fire hazards. In case of a power failure, burners can be lit manually with a match. The burner caps must always be in place for proper ignition and even flames.
The oven offers various cooking functions. "BAKE" allows for conventional baking and roasting, with temperature adjustable in 5° increments. "BROIL" uses direct radiant heat, and the temperature can be set between 300°F (150°C) and 525°F (275°C). For broiling, food should be placed on a grid in a broiler pan, and the oven door should be closed to ensure proper temperature. "CONVECT BAKE" utilizes a fan to circulate hot air, resulting in more even cooking. The "WARM" function holds food at a serving temperature of 170°F (75°C) for up to 60 minutes.
The "TIMED COOKING" feature allows users to set the oven to turn on at a specific time, cook for a set duration, and then shut off automatically. A "DELAYED TIMED COOK" function is also available, enabling users to program the oven to start at a later time.
The electronic oven controls include a display that shows the time of day when not in use and indicator lights for active functions. Tones provide feedback for valid pad presses, preheating completion, function entry, invalid presses, and end-of-cycle. The oven temperature calibration can be adjusted if cooking results are consistently faster or slower than desired. The oven also has a 12-hour shutoff feature for safety.
Proper positioning of oven racks and bakeware is essential for even cooking. The manual provides guidelines for different rack positions based on the type of food being cooked, such as 2-rack baking, broiling, or roasting large cuts of meat. It emphasizes allowing 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls for proper air circulation. Aluminum foil should not be used to line the oven bottom or cover entire racks, as this can impede airflow and cause damage.
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture and should never be blocked or covered, as this can affect cooking results and potentially cause items to melt or burn.
Before cleaning, all controls should be off, and the oven and cooktop cool. Harsh cleaners, bleach, rust removers, or abrasive materials should be avoided on specific surfaces.
The self-cleaning cycle is a high-temperature process that burns off food soils. Before initiating, remove all broiler pans, grids, cookware, oven racks, and aluminum foil. Wipe off excessive spillage. Ensure the oven door is completely closed for the cycle to begin. The cycle duration can be adjusted between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes. After the cycle, once the oven has cooled, ash should be removed with a damp cloth. It's important not to touch the oven during the cycle and to keep children away. The oven light will not function during self-cleaning. Birds are sensitive to fumes from the self-cleaning cycle and should be moved to a well-ventilated room.
