IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

•The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

•The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

•Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury.

If your model has a surface light, you must recycle the fluorescent light bulb according to local, state and federal codes.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

•Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this guide.

•Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

•Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this guide. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

•Before performing any service, DISCONNECT THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

WARNING—

All ranges can tip and injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping

of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device

supplied.

To check if the device is installed and

engaged properly, remove the kick panel or storage drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this guide. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.

•Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

•Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, kick panel or storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

•CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

•Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop.

•Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

• Use only dry pot holders—moist or

damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let

pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Instructions Safety Important

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

•For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

•DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

•Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

•Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

• Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan.

Smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray, or if available, use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven control to OFF or use a dry chemical or foamtype fire extinguisher.

•Do not touch the surface units, the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door and metal trim parts above the door.

Remember: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

•When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

4

Oven

•Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

•Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.

•Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

•Place the oven shelf in desired position while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.

•Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

•When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

•Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch fire.

•Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

•Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

Self-Cleaning Oven

•Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

•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 oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

•Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Guide.

•Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, grid and other cookware.

•Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation.

•If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

Surface Cooking Units

• Use proper pan size— Select

cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

•Never leave the surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

•Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

•Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or anywhere in the oven except as described in this guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the range.

•Only certain types of glass, glass⁄ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

•To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.

•Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

•To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the off position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.

•Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean the surface units in the oven.

•Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.

•When flaming foods are under the hood,

turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.

•Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.

•Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

•Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

•If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

•Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

•Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE

TO YOUR OLD ONE?

Your new cooktop has electric coil surface units.

If you are used to cooking with gas burners or other types of electric cooktops, you will notice some differences when you use electric coils.

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or surface unit you have.

The following chart will help you to understand the differences between electric coil surface units and any other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

Type of Cooktop	Description	How it Works
Electric Coil	Flattened metal	Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best cooking
	tubing containing	results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of warped pans than radiant
	electric resistance	or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change heat settings as quickly as gas or
	wire suspended	induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to continue cooking for a short time after they are
	over a drip pan.	turned off.
Radiant	Electric coils	Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on the
(Glass Cooktop)	under a glass	bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to continue cooking
	cooktop.	after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if you want cooking to stop.
Induction	High frequency	Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is produced by
	induction coils	a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away and changes heat
	under a glass	settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control off, the glass cooktop is
	surface.	hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
Solid Disk	Solid cast iron	Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking
	disk sealed to the	results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The disk stays hot
	cooktop surface.	enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the solid disk if

	or natural gas.

SURFACE CONTROLS

How to Set the Controls

Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the heat setting you want.

Be sure you turn control to

OFF when you finish cooking.

The surface unit “on” indicator light will glow when ANY heat on any surface unit is on.

At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. You may hear slight “clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the unit at the heat level or power level you set.

Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change than switching to a lower setting.

Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings

HI—Used to begin cooking or to bring water to a boil. Reduce heat setting after water boils.

Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and MED) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.

MED—Sauté and brown; keeps food at a medium boil or simmer.

Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water in covered pan.

8

Medium	Medium
Low	High

LO—Used for long slow cooking (simmering) to tenderize and develop flavors. Use this setting to melt butter and chocolate or to keep foods warm.

NOTE: The surface unit “on” indicator light may glow between LO and OFF, but there is no power to the surface units.

Do not use woks that have support rings.

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS

Cookware

Use mediumor heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

RIGHT		WRONG

Not over 1 inch

Over 1 inch

For best cooking results, pans should be flat on the bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the surface unit more than 1 inch.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a flatbottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of

these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous. Placing the ring over the surface

unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop.

Do not try to use such woks without the ring.

You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

HOME CANNING TIPS

Canning should be done on surface units only.

Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of surface unit’s drip pan are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—and all types of frying—cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

Observe the Following Points in Canning

1.Be sure the canner fits over the center of the surface unit. If your range or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use smaller diameter pots for good canning results.

2.For best results, use canners with flat bottoms. Canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) don’t make good contact with the surface unit and take a long time to boil water.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.

3.When canning, use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures are available from the manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as Ball and Kerr; and the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

4.Remember that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam or heat, be careful when canning.

NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may take longer than expected, even though directions have been carefully followed.

The process time will be shortened by:

(1)using a pressure canner, and

(2)starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating of large quantities of water.

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

1.Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them properly.

2.Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly to give sure, sturdy support.

3.Read over the information and tips that follow.

4.Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out from the oven, and will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.

This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove a shelf from the oven, pull it towards you, tilt the front end upward and pull it out.

To replace, place	Bump
