An improper air gas mixture may cause either a burner flutter or a yellow tipped flame A technician should adjust the flame During initial use foreign particles in the gas line or dust in or in the air around the appliance may cause an orange flame This will disappear with use FLAME HEIGHT PROPER FLAME HEIGHT The correct height of the flame mainly depends on the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil the material of the cooking utensil the amount and type of food and the amount of liquid in the utensil Following are some basic rules for selecting flame height e For safety reasons the flame must never extend beyond the bottom of the cooking utensil Never allow flames to curl up the side of the pan e Utensils which conduct heat slowly such as glass ceramic should be used with medium to low flames If you are cooking with a large amount of liquid a slightly larger flame can be used BURNER GRATES 5 The burner grates are heavy cast iron coated on both sides with porcelain enamel They were designed in sections to make them easier to remove and clean Because they are coated on both sides they can be placed in the dishwasher to clean For additional cleaning tips see the porcelain enamel cleaning section on page 24 The grates also come equipped with leveling screws See page 28 DRIP TRAY and DRIP TRAY LINER Located under the burners and or the griddle and or the grill is a

F to 140 F for rare and 150 F to 155 F for medium and 160 F to 165 F for well done If you are cooking pork cook to 170 E A large two piece broil pan comes with your new range When you are broiling always use both pieces Do not cover the grid with aluminum foil This slot ted grid allows the grease drippings to flow into the bottom of the pan keeping it away from the intense heat of the infra red broiler burner This helps to minimize the smoking and spattering of the grease NOTE When the oven is used for an extended period of time at a high temperature the cooling blower may turn on This is normal The cooling blower will also operate during Broil and the Self Cleaning cycle If the blower is not running during these modes do not use the oven Call a qualified appliance technician to repair the unit OVEN RACK POSITION The rack position depends on the type and thickness of the food Thick pieces of meat or poultry would typically be broiled on rack position 2 steaks chops and hamburger would be broiled on rack position 1 If top browning casseroles or bread the thickness of the food would indicate the rack position The casseroles would typically be browned on rack posi tion 2 or 3 and the bread on rack position 1 see p 7 for Rack position illustration TO USE THE OVEN FOR SLOW COOKING OR LOW TEMPERATURES The oven can be used to keep hot food hot to dehydrate food to warm plates for sl
4. If you find that food is adequately browned on the outside but not done in the center lower the temperature another 25 F and add to the baking time When reducing the temperature always check the food for doneness a minute to two before the minimum time stated in the recipe as time can always be added Some recipes will cook faster then others There is no way to predict exactly how long each recipe will take when you convert it to convection Convection will be easier to use after you have used it a few times as you will begin to understand the way it bakes Selecting Utensils for Convection Baking Cooking by convection does not require any specially designed baking utensils You probably have many utensils in your kitchen that are suitable to use When choosing a baking utensil consider the material the size and the shape as they all affect the baking time the palatability and the appearance of the finished product Metal bakeware aluminum steel and cast iron all result in the fastest cooking time and the best end product Aluminum pans work well for all types of baked goods For the best browning use a pan with a dark or dull finish that absorbs heat when baking pies and breads A shiny finish works best for cakes and cookies since it reflects some of the heat and provides a less intensive cooking surface Cookie sheets with only one edge will give the best results as the heated air can circulate all around the sides of the

10. NOTE The longer you preheat the grill the darker the grill marks EXCESSIVE FLARE UPS and FLAMING Occasionally grease drippings ignite These drippings will create minor puffs of flame for a second or two This is normal when cooking on a barbecue You may find it handy to have a spray bottle filled with water to lightly spray the flare up If the flame becomes excessive remove the food from the grill Lower the heat setting Replace the food when the flare up subsides To prevent flare ups from happening trim the fat from around the edges of steaks and chops use hamburger that is lean remove the fat that is on poultry etc When turning any kind of meat or poultry the melted fat will drop onto the briquettes and it may create a flare up If this happens use a long handled spatula to move the food to another area DO NOT leave the grill unattended while it is turned on GRILLING HINTS The doneness of meat is affected by the thickness of the cut It is impossible to cook a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness A steak should be at least 1 inch thick to have it turn out rare and juicy The cooking time is affected by the temperature of the meat when you start to cook it the size and shape of the cut and the kind of meat you are cooking The degree of doneness desired also affects the time When turning the meat over always use a spatula as it will not puncture the meat allowing the juices to run out This will

When using the simmer burner always ensure that the sim mer burner lights from the main burner SIDE A SIDE B The two piece grill rack is reversible Place the side with the two grooved tabs towards the back of the cooktop The grill rack is made of cast iron and has a black porcelain finish One side of the grill is ridged and should be used for foods where you want the fat to run off such as steak or ham burger patties The ridges are slopped so the fat runs toward the front of the grill and can easily run down to the cooler area of the drip tray and away from the intense heat of the burner The other side of the grill was designed for foods that need more support while cooking such as fish Food cooked on this grill achieves the same flavor as food cooked on an outdoor grill The intense radiant heat from the ceramic briquettes caramelizes the fats and juices that are brought to the surface of the food giving it the barbe cued flavor This gas grill may cook slightly faster than you are used to CERAMIC BRIQUETTES The layer of ceramic briquettes under the grill racks will last for many years with proper care They are shipped from the factory pre assembled on the radiant tray ready to be set in place into the fire box under the grill racks Be sure to remove any packaging material from the radiant tray and briquettes before using the grill Burned food par ticles and ash can be emptied off the radiant tray when co
