Usage Features

Cooktop:

Burner Control: Each surface burner has a dedicated control knob. Users push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to the LITE position to ignite the burner, then adjust to the desired flame size (HI, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, LO).
Flame Size Adjustment: Flame color should be clear and blue. Adjust flame to not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil to conserve energy and prevent burns.
Cookware Compatibility: Flat-bottomed cookware is recommended for optimal cooking results. Various materials like aluminum, copper, stainless steel, cast iron, porcelain-enamel on metal, and glass are discussed for their heat conduction properties.
Home Canning: Instructions for safe home canning practices, including using quality flat-bottom canners and adjusting heat settings.

Oven:

Clock Setting: The clock can be set by pressing the "set clock" pad and using the up/down arrow pads.
Temperature Display: The oven can display temperature in Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C). This setting can be changed by pressing "broil" and using the up/down arrow pads.
Silent Control Panel: The control panel can be set to silent operation, disabling beeps when pads are pressed.
Oven Lockout: This feature locks the oven door and control pads for safety, preventing accidental operation. It is activated by pressing and holding "cancel" (or the lock icon on some models).
Minute Timer: An independent timer that beeps when the set time runs out, without affecting oven cooking.
Bake Feature: Allows baking at temperatures from 170°F to 550°F. The factory preset is 350°F. Temperature can be adjusted in 5°F (1°C) increments.
Timed Bake: Programs the oven to start immediately and shut off automatically after a set baking time.
Delayed Timed Bake: Programs the oven to begin baking at a later time and shut off automatically after a set baking time. Caution is advised for perishable foods.
Quick Bake (some models): Utilizes a fan for convection cooking, resulting in faster and more even cooking. Recommended to reduce oven temperature by 25°F from recipes and preheat for cookies, biscuits, and breads.
Broil Feature: Provides direct flame heat for browning. Users can select HI or LO broil settings and are advised on rack positions and preheating for optimal results. A broiler pan with an insert is recommended to drain grease.
Oven Temperature Adjustment: The oven temperature can be adjusted up or down by 35°F (19°C) in 5°F (1°C) increments if cooking results are consistently too hot or too cool.
Oven Light: The interior oven light automatically turns ON when the door is opened and can be manually turned ON/OFF using the light pad.
Effortless™ Oven Rack System (some models): Racks partially extend when the oven door is opened, providing easier access to food. Assembly instructions are provided, and it's important to note that this system should only be used in specific rack positions.

Maintenance Features

Self-Cleaning Oven:

Process: The oven cleans itself using high temperatures, reducing soils to ash that can be wiped away.
Precautions:
- Remove all oven racks, broiler pan, utensils, and aluminum foil before self-cleaning.
- Do not use oven cleaners or protective coatings.
- Do not clean or damage the oven door gasket.
- Wipe up excessive spills, especially sugary or acidic foods, from the oven bottom, frame, door liner, and front center of the oven bottom before starting the cycle.
- Move birds to a well-ventilated room due to sensitivity to fumes.
- Do not force the oven door open during or immediately after the cycle as it will be very hot and the door locking system could be damaged.
Cycle Duration: Typically 2 or 3 hours, with some models offering a 4-hour option.
Stopping a Cycle: The self-clean cycle can be interrupted by pressing "cancel." The door will remain locked until the oven cools.

Care & Cleaning Table:

Aluminum (trim pieces) & Vinyl: Use hot, soapy water and a cloth.
