Condensation
It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate
from the food during any cooking process. The amount de-
pends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture
will condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the
oven, such as the control panel.
Tips for using BROIL mode

Tips for using convection modes
To convert most recipes for baked items, such as cook-
¡
ies, cakes, pies, etc., reduce the oven temperature by
25°F (14°C), or activate convection conversion.
Do not reduce the temperature for meats and poultry.
¡
Use the same temperature recommended in recipes
and cooking charts for meats and poultry.
Use low, shallow bakeware with convection cooking.
¡
This allows the heated air to circulate around the food.
When baking on more than one rack, do not stagger
¡
cookie sheets; round cake pans should be staggered.
For small items such as cookies, check 1 - 2 minutes
¡
before the recipe time.
For larger baked items such as cakes, check 5 - 6 min-
¡
utes before the time indicated on the recipe.
Large meat or poultry items may cook up to 30 minutes
¡
less than the suggested time. Check them so they will
not be over baked.
TRUE CONV is best when baking multiple racks of
¡
cookies, pastries and other individually baked goods.
Tips for using ROAST mode
Use a high-sided broiler pan to minimize grease splat-
¡
ter. If you do not have this pan, we recommend cover-
ing your dish with a lid or foil.
For less tender cuts of meats, add liquids, such as wa-
¡
ter, juice, wine, bouillon, or stock for flavor and mois-
ture.
You can use roasting bags for the standard roasting
¡
mode. When roasting a whole chicken or turkey, tuck
the wings behind the back and loosely tie the legs with
kitchen string.
Tips for using CONV ROAST mode
The roasting time may decrease; check your dish a little
¡
earlier than the recipe indicates.
If your oven comes with a broiler pan and tray, use that
¡
for roasting. A shallow, uncovered pan can also be
used.
For convection roasting, do not cover meat dishes or
¡
use roasting bags.

Rangetop operation

Here you will find out everything you need to know about
Rangetop operation
operating your rangetop.
8.1 Turning on a burner
CAUTION
DO NOT touch the burners when the igniters are sparking.
WARNING
Escaping gas can ignite.
If the burner does not turn on after 15 seconds, turn off
▶
the control knob and open the door or window in the
room. Wait at least 1 minute before igniting the burner
again.
Press in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to ⁠ .
1.
Rotate the knob to any flame setting between HI and
2.
LO.
Note: There is a slight sound associated with gas com-
bustion and ignition. This is a normal condition.
Turning off a burner
Turn the control knob clockwise to OFF.
▶
8.2 Automatic re-ignition
Each burner has its own electronic igniter that sparks
when the burner is turned on. Each burner should light in
four seconds or less.
If a burner does not light, check to see that the cap is
¡
positioned correctly on the base.
If one or more burners blow out, the electronic igniter
¡
automatically activates to re-light the flame. Do not
touch the burners when the igniters are active.
For flame height verification and adjustment instruc-
¡
tions, refer to the Installation Guide included with the
appliance.
8.3 In case of a power failure
WARNING
In the event of a power failure, turn all knobs to the OFF
position. Only the burners that are not equipped with the
ExtraLow® feature can be lit manually.
Refer to the instructions IN CASE OF AN ELECTRICAL
▶
FAILURE listed in the IMPORTANT SAFETY IN-
STRUCTIONS. → Page 6
8.4 ExtraLow® feature
The XLO feature cycles the burner flame on and off in var-
ious increments to maintain a very low temperature. The
60-second revolution (as low as 10 seconds on and
50 seconds off) allows you to keep your food warm with
less stirring than a conventional burner on a simmer.
To vary the amount of XLO heat to suit the food and quan-
tity, you can set the control knob anywhere within the XLO
range marked on the knob.
When on simmer, the XLO STAR® burners will have a
slightly higher flame than the simmer on the standard
STAR® burners. This operation is normal.
