KEY USAGE TIPS Surface Temperatures When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot, such as the knobs and oven door. Align the gas tube opening in the burner base with the orifice holder on the cooktop and the igniter electrode with the notch in the burner base. A Warming or Storage Drawer When the oven is in use, the drawer may become hot. Do not store plastics, cloth, or other items that could melt or burn in the drawer. Oven Vent The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent. B C E D Preheating When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after START is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds. Surface Burners The burner bases and caps must be properly positioned before cooking. Your range comes with 3 sizes of burners and caps. Each round burner base is marked with letters indicating the burner size. Align the burner bases as shown in the following illustration: A. Burner cap B. Gas tube opening C. Burner base D. Igniter electrode E. Orifice holder Each round burner cap is marked with letters indicating the burner size. Place the burner caps on the appropriate burner bases. UR AUX SR Small cap (AUX) Medium cap (SR) Large cap (UR) Burner caps should be level when properly positioned. If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners will not light. The burner cap should not rock or wobble when properly aligned. A A C B A. Incorrect B. Correct B A. Small (AUX) B. Large (UR) D C. Medium (SR) D. Large (UR) 4
