before operating the cooktop burners.
Important notes:
• Always keep surface burner caps in place whenever using a
surface burner.
• When placing the burner caps, be sure that all burner caps
are seated firmly and rest level on top of burner heads.
• For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow
spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter
the gas orifice port opening.
On round style burners, the burner cap lip (See Figure 3) should
fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level.

Home Canning
Canning can generate large amounts of steam.
Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to
vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that harmful
micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are sealed
completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but
steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required
time.
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) Web site and be sure to read
all the information they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning.
Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is
recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric
coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on
the burner grates.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check
with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service
or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning infor-
mation.
• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat
for an extended amount of time.
• Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the
units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid
canning on the same burner unit all day.

Setting Surface Controls
Setting Surface Burners
Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized
surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger
volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to
select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food
being prepared.
The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best suited for
simmering delicate sauces, etc.
The standard size burners may be used for most surface cooking
needs. Some models are equipped with a center burner.
The larger POWER burners (on some models) or TURBO BOIL
burner (on some models) are recommended for bringing large
quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger
quantities of food.

Important notes:
• Do not cook with the surface control knob left in the LITE
position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the
control knob setting remains in the LITE position .
• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position,
all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time.
However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different
surface cooking areas at the same time. This can cause
uneven heating results.

Decorative trim (some models) materials; they can scratch. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Be sure to
squeeze excess water from cloth or sponge before wiping control panel, especially when wiping
around the controls area. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the
appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a cloth or sponge and be sure to squeeze excess
water from cloth or sponge before wiping the control panel.
Porcelain enamel parts and door Gentle scubbing with a soapy non-abrasive scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a
liner 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-
soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then
scrub with a soap-filled non-abrasive scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do
not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or
pie filling) to remain on the surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Oven interior For oven interior remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting Self Clean.
Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. For very important
cleaning precautions be sure to read all the instructions in the “Self Clean” section of the Oven
Controls chapter on page 23.
Oven racks Remove oven racks from oven cavity before starting Self Clean. Clean by using a mild, abrasive
cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry, and then replace in
oven.
Oven door Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well.
You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do not immerse the door in
water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do not use oven
cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven
door.
Cooktop surface Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See “Cleaning the Cooktop and Surface
Surface burners Burners” instructions on page 26.
Burner grates
Stainless Steel (some models) Only use cleaners and polishes that are specifically manufactured for cleaning stainless steel.
Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use cleaners with high
concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lint-
free cloth. Always be sure to wipe excess cleaner/polish off from the metal surface as bluish
stains may occur during future oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils with
hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Rinse and dry using clean water and a cloth.
Black Stainless Steel (some models) Clean stainless steel with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean
water and dry with a soft, clean cloth. Do not use any store bought cleaners like stainless steel
cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing abrasives, chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia. It
is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time and expense. Possible solutions are provided with the
problem listed:
Problem Solution
Poor baking results • Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is used.
Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to
preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's
recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see
“Adjusting oven temperature” on page 22. In addition, be sure to make adjustments for
cookware types.
Appliance is not level. • Be sure floor is level, strong, and stable enough to adequately support range.
• If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
• Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust
leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.
• Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are
square and have sufficient room for appliance clearance.

• Be sure oven door is closed when broiling.
• Meat too close to the broiler. Reposition the broil rack to provide proper clearance
between the meat and the broiler. Preheat the broiler for searing.
• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to
prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.

water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
Oven racks discolored. • Oven racks left in oven cavity during Self Clean. Always remove oven racks from oven

• Burner caps are not seated properly. Check that all burner caps are level and seated
correctly on burner heads. See“Cleaning the Cooktop and Surface Burners” in the Care &
Cleaning section on page 26 for additional cleaning instructions.
