Stainless steel Heats quickly, but unevenly.

A core or base of aluminum or copper
on stainless steel provides even
heating.
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
■
Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
The normal operation of the range will include several noises that
may be heard each time the Bake or Broil burners ignite during the
cooking cycle:
■ gas valves may make a "popping" sound when opening or
closing
■
igniters will "click" several times until a flame is sensed
■ a "poof" sound is heard when a Bake or Broil burner ignites

■ Oven is preheated (long tone)
■ Function has been entered

end-of-cycle tones

Options
Many features of the oven control can be adjusted to meet your
personal needs. These changes are made using the Options key.
Use the Options key to scroll through the features that can be
changed. Each press of the Options key will advance the display to
the next setting. After selecting the feature to be changed, the
control will prompt you for the required input. After the setting is
saved by pressing Start, the control will exit Options and display

For best results, the cookware should be centered above the
burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should
be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
■ For more information, contact your local agricultural extension

OVEN USE

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
