nge Safety

General

• Install or locate the range only inaccordance with the provided Installa-tion Instructions. The range must beinstalled by a qualified installer. Therange must be properly connected tothe proper gas supply and checked forleaks. The range must also be properlyconnected to electrical supply andgrounded.

• Gas fuels and their use in appliancescould cause minor exposures to ben-zene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide,and soot, primarily from incompletecombustion. Significant exposure tothese substances could cause cancer orreproductive harm. Properly adjustedburners with a blue, rather than ayellow, flame will minimize incompletecombustion. Venting with a hood or anopen window will further minimizeexposure.

oWARNING: To reduce the risk of tippingthe appliance, the appliance must besecured by a properly installed anti-tipbracket. To check if the bracket isinstalled properly, see "The anti-tipbracket" on page 11.

• CAUTION: Do not store things childrenmight want above the range. Childrencould be burned or injured while climb-ing on it.

sing and Caring for YourCooktop

This section tells you how to operate the controls to the cooktop. It also discusses howthe sealed gas burner cooktop works, and includes tips on how to cook with andmaintain the cooktop.

Using the surface burnersYour cooktop has sealed gas burners withan auto-reignition system. The sealedburners spread the heat evenly across thebottom of the cookware and provide infiniteheat control. The auto-reignition systemsenses when a burner flame has gone outand will automatically reignite that burner.

IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-setfor use with Natural Gas. If you wish touse L.P. gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit(Part No. 9752401) is available from yourKitchenAid dealer or authorized partsdistributor. The conversion must bedone by a qualified service technician.

When to use the right rearand left front burners:

10,000 BTU burner

When to use the left rear andright front burners:

6,000 BTU burner

6,000 BTU burner

Use these burners for simmering or for cook-ing smaller quantities of food requiring smallcookware.

10,000 BTU burner

Use these burners for cooking large quanti-ties of food, deep-fat frying, or cooking withlarge cookware.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard

Do not operate with a yellow flame.

Doing so can result in death,heart attack, or convulsions.

How to use the surface burners:

_,? o o

1. Grasp the control knob.2. Push down and turn to HI. The electric

spark ignitorwill ignite the gas flowinginto the burner. When you hear a clickingsound, you know that the ignitors areworking. Gas is flowing as long as knob isnot set at OFF.

3. When the burner is lit, turn the controlknob to the desired flame setting. (Seeguide under "Burner heat settings"onpage 14.) You can turn the knobs to anyof the marked settings. The ignitor willturn off and the clicking will stop when theburner ignites.

NOTES:

• The ignitors may click a number of timesbefore burner lights. This is normal.

• All four burner ignitors will spark regard=less of which burner you are using.

• Visually check that the burner has lit. Ifthe burner does not ignite, listen for theclicking sound. If you do not hear theignitor click, TURN THE BURNER OFF.Check that the service cord is placedfirmly in the wall receptacle. Check for atripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.

Check that the control knob is pressedcompletely down on valve shaft. If the sparkignitor still fails to operate, call yournearest authorized KitchenAid servicer.

Proper grounding and polarity are neces-sary for correct operation of the electricignition system. If the wall receptacle doesnot provide correct polarity, the ignitorwillbecome grounded and click every once ina while, even after the burner has ignited.A qualified electrician should check thewall receptacle to see if it is wired withcorrect polarity.

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when donecooking.

Failure to do so can result in death,fire, or burns.

Burner heat seffingsUse correct burner heat settings (seepage 14). If the heat setting is too high, it can:

• Char bacon and cause curling.• Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.• Toughen liver, fish, and seafood.• Scorch delicate sauces and custards.

• Cause a boilover.

Energy saving tipsAlthough the energy used for cooking isusually a very small percentage of the totalenergy used in the home, cooking energycan be used efficiently. Here are some tipsto help you save energy when using yourcooking product:

= Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides,and tight-fitting lids.

• Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat tohelp shorten cooking time.

• Start food on higher heat settings, thenset surface burner control on low to finishcooking.

• Turn on the surface burner only afterplacing filled pan on the burner.

Cookware tips

• NOTE: For best results and greater fuelefficiency, use only flat-bottomed cook-ware in good condition.

• The pan should have straight sides and atight-fitting lid.

• Be sure pans do not tip, whether they arefull or empty.

• Pans should be easy to clean. Check tobe sure there are no crevices, roughedges, or areas where food might collect.

• Use cookware only as instructed in thecookware's user instructions. This is veryimportant for glass cookware becausesome can be used only in the oven. Pansmarked as flameware can be used onsurface burners.

• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

• The pan material (metal or glass) affectshow fast heat transfers from the surfaceburner through the pan material and howevenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.Choose pans that provide the best cookingresults.

• Handles should be made of sturdy,heat-resistant material and be securelyattached to the pan.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, orcookware which has boiled dry, on a hotsurface burner. The cookware could over-heat and damage the cookware or surfaceburner.

Home canning informationThe large diameter of most water-bath orpressure canners combined with high heatsettings for long periods of time can causedamage to the cooktop.

To protect your cooktop:

I Ce._'over I Pan

iBurner

. Use a canner/pan which can be cen-tered over the surface burner. Largediameter canners/pans, if not properlycentered, trap heat and can causedamage to the cooktop.

• Do not place canner on two surfaceburners at the same time. Too much heatwill build up and will damage the cooktop.

• Start with hot water. This reduces thetime the control is set on high. Reduceheat setting to lowest position needed tokeep water boiling.

• Refer to your canner manual for specificinstructions.

Cooking tipsBaking/convection baking tipsThe hot air must circulate around the pansin the oven for even heat to reach all partsof the oven. This results in better baking.

For best air circulation:

• Place the pans so that one is not directlyover the other.

wall°rl 111..2" 111._2 - I

• For best results, allow 11/2to 2 inches ofspace around each pan and between pansand oven walls.

• When baking with one pan, place pan inthe center of the oven rack.

• When baking with two pans, place pansin opposite corners of the oven rack.

NOTES:

• "Oven peeking" may cause heat loss,longer cooking times, and unsatisfactorybaking or roasting results. Rely on yourtimer.

• Do not allow pans to touch the heatsensor on the left wall near the back.Poor baking may result.

• Do not use aluminum foil when baking.Aluminum foil may block airflow.

r{.]sing and Caring for Your Oven

Rack positions

Your oven has three straight racks and fiverack positions. Rack position 5 is the highestposition, or farthest from the bottom of theoven. Rack position 1 is the lowest position,or closest to the bottom of the oven.

Baking tips(Bake pad)

For proper cooking, follow theseguidelines:• When using one rack, place the rack so

the top of the food will be centered inthe oven.

• When using more than one rack, use theConvection Bake setting.

• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven ata time when using the Bake setting.

Bakeware tips• When baking with insulated cookie

sheets or baking pans, place them in thebottom third of the oven. You may need toincrease the recommended baking times,so test for doneness before removingfrom the oven.

• When using ovenproof glassware ordark bakeware, reduce the oven tempera-ture by 25°F, but use the same bakingtime. Because these pans absorb heat,producing darker bottom browning andcrispier crusts, place the rack in the centerof the oven. When baking pies and bread,you can use the temperature suggested inthe recipe.

Rack placement for specific foods:'For rack positions, see "Rack positions" in:)revious column.)

RACKFOOD POSITION

Frozen pies 2

Angel food and bundt cakes,most quick breads, yeast 1 or 2breads, casseroles, meats

Cookies, biscuits, muffins, 2 or 3cakes, nonfrozen pies

NOTE: For additional baking tips see"Baking or convection baking" on page 27.

Convection baking tips(Convection Bake pad)• Do not use aluminum foil when convection

baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.• Reduce recommended standard cooking

temperatures by approximately 25°F. Thecooking times can also be reduced for mostrecipes. See recipe adaption chart in yourconvection oven cookbook for recommendedtemperatures and times, or use EASYCONVECT TM Conversion (see page 39).

NOTE: Cooking time may be longer whenyou use more than one rack.

• When baking on two or three racks, usethe Convection Bake setting for more evenresults. (You can, however, use only onerack when Convection Baking.)

• To use three racks during convectionbaking, place one rack in position 5 (thehighest position), another rack in position 1(the closest to the oven bottom), and thethird rack in position 3. This allows all threeracks to be an equal distance apart forbetter baking.

• Stagger cake pans or other cookware inopposite directions on each rack whenthree racks are used.

31


Roasting tips• Spatter can be reduced by liningthe

bottom of the roasting pan with lightlycrushed aluminum foil.

• Use an accurate meat thermometer ortemperature probe (see page 34) todetermine when meat has reached desireddegree of doneness. Insert the thermom-eter or probe into the center of the thickestportion of the meat or inner thigh or breastof poultry. For an accurate reading, the tipof the thermometer or probe should nottouch fat, bone, or gristle.

• After reading the thermometer once,push it further into the meat 1/2inch or moreand read again. If the temperature drops,return the meat to the oven for morecooking.

• Check pork and poultry with a thermom-eter in 2-3 places to ensure adequatedoneness.

• Poultry and roasts will be easier tocarve if loosely covered with foil andallowed to stand 10-15 minutes afterremoval from the oven.

• You can reduce roastingtimes andtemperatures for most standard recipeswhen using the Convection Roast setting.See recipe adaption chart or convection-roasting chart in your convection ovencookbook for recommended roastingtimes and temperatures, or use EASYCONVECT TM Conversion (see page 39).

• Use the convection roasting rack on thebroiler pan (both included with your range).(The convection roasting rack rests on thebroiler pan, not inside it.) The long side ofthe rack should be parallel with the ovendoor for best heat distribution and airflow.

Adjusting oven temperatureAlthough your new oven is properly adjustedto provide accurate temperatures, it maycook faster or slower than your old oven.

If, after using the oven for a period of time,you are not satisfied with the baking/roastingresults, you can change the offset tempera-ture by following the steps below. Thecontrol will "remember" the selected offseteven after the power has been interruptedor lost.

NOTE: DO NOT measure oven temperaturewith a thermometer. Opening the oven doorwill lower the oven temperature and give youan inaccurate reading. Also, the thermom-eter temperature reading will change as youroven cycles.

1. Open the door, then press andhold Bake pad for 5 seconds.Release the pad when a numberappears on the temperaturedisplay and you hear a tone.

Using the temperature probeThe Temperature Probe is the most accurateguide to the degree of doneness of meat. Useit when baking, roasting any type of meat orpoultry, or cooking casseroles with liquid.

NOTES:

• Do not use the Temperature Probe whenbroiling, convection broiling, dehydrating,or raising bread.

• Unplug the Temperature Probe beforeself-cleaning the oven.

1. Insert probe into food.Insert the probe into the center of thethickest portion of meat or into the innerthigh or breast of poultry, away from fat

Broiling tips• Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling.

They are designed to drain excess liquidand grease away from the cooking surfaceto help prevent spatter, smoke, or fire.

• If you broil small quantities, you maywant to use a small broiler pan. They areavailable in the housewares section ofmany department stores.

• For best broiling results, preheat for5 minutes. Do not preheat with broilerpan in place.

'• Broiling rack position determines howthe burner cooks your food. The lowerthe position, the more broiler grid areacovered. See "Thermal broilingchart" onpage 45 for more information.

• To sear meat, place broiler pan at one ofthe higher rack positions so that meat isvery near the flame.

• Thin (s/4")steaks may be broiled in thehigher rack positions.

• To cook thick (11/=")steaks and otherthick cuts of meat well done, start cookingon a lower rack position or move them to alower rack position after searing.

• After broiling, remove the broiler panfrom the oven when you remove the food.DrippingsWill bake on the pan if you leaveit in the heated oven.

NOTE: See "Broiling" on page 41 for addi-tional broiling tips.

.]sing the Self-Cleaning CycleThe Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, you operate theSelf-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use electronic control. To use this cycle properly,follow the step-by-step instructions in this section.

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, orillness from inhaling dangerous fumes.

Before you start

Hand-clean door

around edge

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle,make sure you: _, Hand-clean the areas shown. They

do not get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Usehot water and detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad for cleaning.NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bendthe gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, androasting may result.

• Remove the broiler pan and grid andanything else being stored in the oven.

• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. Thiswill help reduce smoke during the Self=Cleaning cycle.

54

• Wipe up food spills containing sugar assoon as possible after the oven coolsdown. When sugar is heated to a hightemperature in the Self-Cleaning cycle, thehigh temperature can cause the sugar toburn and react with the porcelain. This cancause staining and etching or pitting.

• Remove the oven racks from the oven ifyou want them to remain shiny. You canclean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, butthey will discolor and become harder toslide. If you clean racks in the Self-Clean-ing cycle, place them on the rack guides.

• Heat and odors are normal during theSelf-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen wellventilated by opening a window or byturning on a vent hood or other kitchenvent during the cycle.

NOTES:

• Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely forbest cleaning results.

• Do not leave plastic utensils on thecooktop. They may melt.

• Do not leave any foil in oven during theSelf-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or meltand damage the oven surface.

• The oven light will not work during theSelf-Cleaning cycle.

_sing the Self-Cleaning Cycle

• Do not insert any object into the openingof the protective shield that surrounds theignitor. Also, do not clean this area. Doingeither could result in product damage.

• Do not use your cooktop during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Using your cooktop willturn the cycle off.

For best cleaning results• After the oven cools to room tempera-

ture, wipe up any residue or ash with adamp cloth or sponge. If any spots remain,clean with a mild abrasive cleanser orcleaning sponge.

• Clean the oven before it gets heavilysoiled. Cleaning a very soiled oventakes longer and results in more smokethan usual.

("DOOR LOCKED" will appearIf oven has not cooled down)

• If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not getthe oven as clean as you expected, thecycle may not have been set long enoughor you may not have prepared the ovenproperly Set the Self-Cleaning cyclelonger the next time and hand-clean areasnoted on page 54

How the cycle worksThe Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heatto burn away soil and grease. During thecycle, the oven gets much hotter than itdoes for normal baking or broiling. This highheat breaks up the soil or grease and burnsit away.

Your oven is preset for a 31/2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust thecycle time to the amount of soil in your oven°You can set the cycle anywhere between21/2and 41/2hours. (See "Setting the con-trols" on page 55.)

The graph at the right is representative ofa normal, 31/2-hourSelf-Cleaning cycle. Notethat the heating stops after 3 hours, but ittakes longer for the oven to cool enoughto unlock.
