ALL APPLIANCES

1.Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

2.Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating the Room.

3.Do Not Leave Children Alone—Children should not be alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

4.Wear Appropriate Apparel—Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using appliance.

5.User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

6.Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

7.Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires—Smother fire or flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

8.Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

1.Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

2.Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings—Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

3.Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place—Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

4.Protective Liners— Do not use aluminum foil to line drip bowls or oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.

5.Glazed Cooking Utensils—Do not use glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils. They can damage smoothtop and can break due to sudden change in temperature.

6.Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

7.Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements—Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

OVENS

1.Use Care When Opening Door—Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

2.Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

3.Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

4.Placement of Oven Racks—Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack is removed while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

1.Do Not Clean Door Gasket—The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

2.Do Not Use Oven Cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the liner.

Operation

Preparing to Cook with Smoothtop Elements

WARNING

To avoid risk of serious personal injury never cook on a broken smoothtop cooking surface. Spillovers or cleaners can penetrate surface and create a risk of electrical shock. If smoothtop cooking surface breaks, discontinue use and notify an authorized servicer immediately.

Before cooking on smoothtop, wipe top with cleaner conditioner. Conditioning smoothtop before use makes marks and stains easier to remove.

Use heavy-gauge metal cookware not including cast iron.

Bottom of cookware must be flat. Cookware that is warped or slightly curved on the bottom heats slowly and may not boil water. Cookware with an aluminum disk bottom makes excellent contact with cooking surface. See Utensils section for more information.

Smoothtop cooking surface is not “scratch proof”. Surface is highly scratch and impact resistant. With recommended cooking utensils and proper care, it will continue looking good through years of use.

Do not use glass, glass-ceramic, or enamel-porcelain cookware. Small imperfections on bottom of such cookware can scratch smoothtop surface.

Surface Elements

Do not use a pan that overhangs burner by more than 1 inch.

WARNING

To avoid risk of serious personal injury, property damage, or fire, do not leave surface elements unattended while in operation. Grease and spillovers can ignite causing a fire.

1.Push in and turn surface element control to desired setting.

Ranges with coil elements have 4 indicator lights. When element is on, corresponding indicator light glows.

Smoothtop ranges have four hot indicator lights, one located above each knob. Hot indicator lights will glow red when the corresponding element is turned on. Light will remain on until surface element has cooled to a safe temperature. Element cycles on and off to maintain desired heat setting.

2.When finished cooking, turn control to “OFF” position.

Place food on a cold ungreased broiling pan. If pan is hot, food will stick.

Fish should be broiled with skin side down. When using INSTA-BROIL, all food except fish should be turned at least one time. It is not necessary to turn foods when using CONV BROIL.

Season meat after it has browned.

Broiling does not require preheating.

Begin cooking using suggested rack levels on broiling chart to test broiler results. If food is not brown enough, cook on a higher position. If food is too brown, cook on a lower position.

1.Center food on broiling grid and pan, place food in oven. When using convection broil, place food on convection broil rack.

Dehydration Tips

Fruits

Always start with fresh fruit.

Cut fruit in equal pieces approximately 1/8" thick. Thinner pieces will dry quicker.

Fruits need to be dipped into an antioxidant, a colorkeeping preservative, or two parts water and one part lemon juice. Treating fruit with an antioxidant will help it retain vitamins, color and flavor.

Vegetables

Most vegetables require blanching to inactivate enzymes.

Herbs and Spices

Herbs and spices dry quickly.

Check every 30 minutes to avoid over-drying.

When drying herbs, leaf clusters should be separated from stems.

Cooking Guide

Follow these recommendations only as a guide for times and temperature. Times, rack position, and temperatures may vary depending on conditions and food type. For best results, always check food at minimum time. When roasting, choose rack position based on size of food item.

Convection Broiling Rack

Oven includes a special broiling rack. This rack should be placed on top of broiler pan and grid. This allows air to circulate around food and cook evenly without turning. If convection broiling rack is not used, foods must be turned at least once during cooking.

Oven Rack Placement

Position oven rack before turning oven on.

1.Pull rack forward to stop position.

2.Raise front edge of rack and pull until rack is out of oven.

3.Place rack in new rack position.

• Curved edge of rack must be toward rear of oven.

Convection Pan Placement

Baking pans and cookie sheets should not touch side or rear walls of oven. If pans are placed on different racks, they can be placed directly over each other. Convection cooking circulates air around oven providing even browning on all rack positions. When using convection, oven can be loaded on all racks with excellent cooking results.

Nonconvection Pan Placement

Keep pans and cookie sheets 2 inches from oven walls.

Stagger pans placed on different racks so one is not directly over the other.
