Safety Instructions

(All Models)

Important! Save these instructions for the local inspector’s use.

Warning! Prior to installing this appliance, read the Safety Instructions as they relate to Installation on pages 3 through 7 of this manual. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious electric hazard, risk of fire, and/or personal injury.

Models 1850, 1855, 1865, 1870 & 1875 are equipped with a 240 volt, standard range power cord & plug. See page 4 for amp ratings of each model.

Models 1860 & 1867 come with a 120 volt, 5 amp power cord & plug.

Use this appliance for its intended use, as described in this manual.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

Do not assume that you know how to operate all parts of the range. Some features may work differently from those of your previous range.

Do not climb, stand or hang on the door or range top. This can damage the range or tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

Children

Do not leave children alone in the area where your range is in use. They should never be allowed to stand or sit on any part of this appliance.

Instruct your small children that the range is not a toy and could hurt them. As your children grow up, teach them the proper and safe use of the range.

Children must be taught not to use the oven door as a stepping stool to reach the cabinet above, as it may result in an injury.

Caution

Do not store items of interest to children on cabinet above the range or on the back of the cooking surface. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

When cleaning cycle is on, the oven door and cooking surface will be hot. Keep children away from the range as a safety precaution.

Storage

Do not store gasoline, flammable vapors or materials, etc., in the oven, under or around the appliance area.

Hot Surface

Exercise caution. Surfaces may be hot enough to burn. Electric elements may be hot even when they appear dark in color.

Do not operate surface burners without utensils in place.

Allow elements and burner surfaces to cool before cleaning. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Loose clothing of flammable material (pot holders) could ignite if brought in contact with hot burners and may cause severe burns.

Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use towels or other bulky cloths as pot holders.

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of elements on. With three or four elements turned on, surface temperatures are high. Exercise care when touching the cooktop.

Fire

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.

Grease

Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the range in vent fans. Don’t leave cans of drippings sit around the range; refrigerate or dispose of promptly. Let quantities of hot fat (a pan of deep fat for example) cool before attempting to move or handle it. Grease fires can often be extinguished by quickly putting on the pan lid or by covering with baking soda. Do not attempt to extinguish with water because this will spread the fire.

Never pick up a flaming pan.

Oven

Stand away from range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns.

Do not heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing injury or damage to the range.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Keep oven free from grease build up.

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

Pull out oven rack to the rack stop to reduce chance of burns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven.

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

Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil near the broil element. This could cause damage to the elements.

4

Plastics

 

All plastics are vulnerable to heat, although some will

 

withstand higher temperatures than others. Keep all

 

plastics away from parts of the range which may become

 

slightly more than warm when the range is in operation.

 

Self-Cleaning Oven

 

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 on your oven prior to self-

 

cleaning. Damage may occur to oven finish at high

 

temperatures. Remove aluminum or plastic utensils, food or

 

combustible materials from oven and cooktop before self-

 

cleaning.

 

(See Self-Cleaning – Page 17)

 

NOTE: Oven cleaner will not harm porcelain oven but

 

should not be used in conjunction with self-cleaning.

 

Surface Cooking

 

Use proper pan size. Select pans large enough to cover the

 

element. The use of undersized pans will expose a portion

 

of the element which may result in burns, ignition of

 

clothing or spillovers directly on element.

 

Never leave surface units unattended at high heat setting.

 

Boil over or boil dry conditions could result in a fire.

 

Do not use glass or glazed ceramic cookware on the

 

surface burners, as sudden change in temperature may

 

break them.

 

Always turn off surface unit, before removing pots or

 

pans.

 

Turn handle of the pan toward the center of the cooktop,

 

without extending over nearby elements. This will reduce

 

the possibility of accidentally overturning the pan.

 

Let hot pans cool in a safe place, out of the reach of young

 

children. Never set hot pots on a combustible surface.

 

Do not use decorative metal covers on electric surface

 

elements. A covered element, when turned on, could result

 

in a burn or damage to the element.

 

Frying

 

Use as little oil as possible. Filling the pan too full of oil

 

can cause spillovers when food is added.

 

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on

 

frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot oil

 

to bubble up. Spillovers, fire and burns from splatters could

 

occur.

 

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent

 

overheating oil beyond smoking point.

 

Deep Fryer

 

Use extreme caution when moving a hot grease kettle or

 

disposing of hot grease.

 

Ventilating Hoods

 

Clean ventilation hood frequently — grease should not be

 

allowed to accumulate on hood or filter. When flaming

 

foods under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, when

 

operating, may spread flame.

Service

Do not repair or service any part of the range unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. Disconnect the range from wall receptacle (or fuse) before performing service.

Safety

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushion vinyl or carpeting. When moving the range on this type of flooring use care.

If your range must stand beside a refrigerator, allow at least 2” between the two appliances for air circulation. The heat from the range may affect refrigerator performance.

Make sure that all the packing materials, including tape on elements and packing material above and below oven elements, have been removed and that all controls are in the off position before plugging in the power cord.

All ranges come with standard range cord attached. This cord must be plugged into a standard range receptacle provided by your electrician.

Installation

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

Power cord installation

The new U.S. revised electrical code states that all new construction must use a FOUR WIRE range power cord. Existing construction may use a three wire range power cord. NOTE: The difference is, a four wire cord has a separate ground. A three wire cord is grounded through the neutral.

To change from 3 wire to 4 wire cord:

Make sure all power is shut off.

Remove the back panel of the range so the power block is visible.

Unscrew terminal nuts and remove the range cord wires from the power block.

Undo ground screw attaching the white ground wire to the range body and remove wire.

Undo the bushing holding cord to stove body and remove cord from appliance.

Reassemble the new range cord kit to the range making sure the white wire goes to the center of the terminal block, the red to the right and the black wire to the left.

Attach the ringed terminal of the green or bare copper wire to the range body with the green ground screw.

Check power with multimeter. You must have 110 volts between white and black. You must have 110 volts between white and red. You must have 220 volts between red and black. If range receptacle is wired wrong, clock transformer will be severely damaged and will not be covered by manufacturer’s warranty. Replace back panel of range. Plug the power cord in and turn power on.

Leveling Your Range

The range must be level in order to assure uniform cooking and baking. Shim legs if required.

Safety Instructions – Gas

Important Instructions

Do not use range as a heater. Never use the range as a kitchen heater. Prolonged use of the range without adequate ventilation can be hazardous. Oven controls and top burners are not designed for home heating and component failures that may result from such abuse are definitely not covered by the warranty.

WARNING

This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter, when installed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Massachusetts approval code # G1-1202-18.

#1 This installation must conform with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installations must conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1–latest edition (**) or CAN/CGA- B149–latest edition (***) installation codes.

#2 Input ratings shown on the serial/rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet (609.6 m). For elevations above 2,000 feet (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet (304.8 cm) above sea level.

Mobile Home Installation

The installation of this range must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR. Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280); or when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Homes Installations 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups), ANSI A225.1q/ NFPA 501A* or with local codes.

In Canada

The installation of this range must conform with the current standards CAN/CSA-Z240–latest edition*** or with local codes. When this range is installed in a mobile home, it must be secured to the floor during transit. Any method of securing the range is adequate as long as it conforms to the standards listed above.

Note: The metal chassis of the range MUST be earthgrounded in order for the control panel and burner spark ignition to work. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the metal chassis of range is earth-grounded.

Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:

*National Fire Protection Association Batterymarch Park

Quincy, Massachusetts 02269

**American Gas Association 1515 Wilson Boulevard Arlington, Virginia 22209

*** Canadian Standard Association 178 Rexdale Boulevard

Rexdale (Toronto), Ontario M9W 1R3

Floor Covering

Never install a range over inferior kitchen carpeting, vinyl tile or linoleum. These should be able to withstand at least 175°F without shrinking, warping or discoloring.

Curtains

If your range is near a window, use an appropriate window treatment. Do not use long curtains which could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard.

If You Smell Gas

If this is a new range installation, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. Connections can loosen in transportation. If the range connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell.

Finding a gas leak is usually not a “do it yourself” procedure.

Some leaks can only be found with the controls in the “on” position exposing the user to serious burns. Never use a match or flame to locate a leak. Turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified serviceman.

Flame Size: Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. Excessive flame is hazardous.

Use of High Flame: When using a high flame, never leave any pans unattended on this heat setting for long periods. Hot oil is particularly hazardous since it can become hot enough to ignite.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the range.

Any openings in the wall, behind the range or the floor under the range must be sealed.

Venting

Never block the vents (air openings of the range). They provide the air inlet and outlet which is necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. The oven vent is located at the rear of the main top.

6

Type of Gas

Natural and LP Gas (propane). Ranges are factory assembled for natural gas unless otherwise specified and cannot be used with LP Gas without some adjustments. Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified serviceman or installer for the type of gas on which it is to be used. (See Conversion, page 14).

Note: In this manual, propane is referred to as LP (liquid petroleum).

Installing Your Range

Installation, adjustment and service of this range must be performed only by a qualified gas range installer or electrical serviceman. This is necessary to insure proper operation of the range and to avoid the possibility of damage to the range or injury to the users.

Clearances

Observe all the instructions on the rating plate for minimum clearances to any adjacent vertical combustible surface. (See figure #1).

Warning: Be careful when reaching into storage cabinets above range while it is in operation. One might accidentally contact a hot burner when using a hand for support or have one’s clothing come in contact with top burner flame.

Location

If possible, the range should be located to avoid the main “traffic path” through the kitchen or where an open door might block a passageway or create an awkward working situation. If possible, it should be so located where cabinet working space is available on either side. Drafty locations should be avoided to prevent gas burner outage and poor air circulation.

Temperatures

To cook, you must have heat. Some parts of the range are therefore going to get warm or even hot. Consider this in choosing a range location. Do not leave children alone or unattended near the range when it is in use. Let burner grids and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.

Clearances

This range may be installed with adjacent surfaces touching the base cabinets and the back flush with the back wall. Models 1860, 1865, 1867, 1870 & 1875 gas ranges require a CGA/AGA approved stainless steel gas flex line or a flexible copper coil 1/2” in diameter and at least three feet long so the range can be moved for service.

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface burners, cabinet storage above the range should be avoided. If overhead storage is unavoidable, clearances between the cooking surface and unprotected wood or metal overhead cabinets must be no less than 32” (gas models only). The clearances on electric models between the cooktop and unprotected overhead cupboards is 30”. This distance may be reduced to 24” when the

bottom wood or metal cabinets are protected by not less than 1/4” thick flame retarding millboard covered with not less than No. 28MSG sheet steel, 0.015” thick stainless steel, 0.024” thick aluminum or 0.020” thick copper.

Note: Clearances specified to combustible construction (walls and materials) are based on a temperature rise of wood resulting from appliance operation. These clearances are suitable for walls of studding, lath and plaster or other types of combustible material which have a density of 20 lbs. per cu. ft. or more. No evaluation of clearances has been made for low density cellulose, fibre board and similar materials which have a density of less than 20 lbs. per cu. ft., nor to plastic tiles or sheeting.

The maximum depth of upper cabinets installed above the range is 13”.

See the Minimum Clearances Chart for electric and gas models below.

The above parts are standard and are available from a hardware store or heating contractor.

Installation of Ducting Horizontally Through an Outside Wall

Standard 3-1/4” x 10” ducting, elbows, and adapters for mounting the duct to the range can be purchased at most plumbing or heating supply dealers.

If you can’t find an adapter elbow that will attach to the exhaust outlet of the range, you can easily make one by bending the one inch flanges of a standard elbow out ninety degrees. Put a bead of silicone seal on the flanges and attach the adapter to the back of the range with four 1/2” x #8 sheet metal screws.

Cut a 3-3/8” x 10-1/4” hole through the wall directly behind the warming cabinet outlet, ensuring that no studs are cut in the process. See figure 3. Push the range into position. From the outside of the house, measure the distance from the outside of the siding to the cabinet range outlet. Cut duct pipe to that length.

Attach the vent hood to the duct pipe. Caulk the back of the vent hood and around the pipe where it will be pushed into the wall. Insert the vent assembly through the wall and into the range adapter so that the caulking seals completely against the siding.

Install the mesh filter into the warming cabinet. Do not install charcoal filter.

Installation of Ducting Through an Attic or Basement Space to an Outside Wall

The range may be positioned flush with the back wall if the vent elbow and pipe are embedded in the wall. If ducting through the ceiling, continue the vent through the ceiling into the attic. Terminate the vent either on an outside wall, below the soffit using a vent hood or through the roof with a roof cap. If ducting through the basement, continue the vent through the floor to a point at least 36” above the grade level. Terminate the vent through the outside wall using a vent hood. Install the mesh filter into the warming cabinet. Do not install charcoal filter. If you are venting more than 10 feet or have more than one 90° elbow, we strongly recommend the 1518 inline blower.

Surface Elements Controls

Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a setting. They can

be set anywhere between

MAX and MIN.

The controls for the surface elements provide infinite heat settings. The numbers

on the dial serve as a reference. The control can be turned to any setting to provide the exact heat required.

Before using your glass cooktop for the first time: turn the elements on max without a pan for 5 to 8 minutes or until smoking stops. This smoking is normal and non toxic.

High Speed Radiant - Electric Top Burners

Consists of a set of special Radiant Heater coils embedded in thermal insulation. The element is designed for fast heat response. You can see it light up almost immediately.

Each element is fitted with a thermal limiter to ensure the ceramic glass does not exceed the maximum Safe operating temperature. You may notice the element going on and off a number of times during use. This is a normal occurrence.

To maximize the efficiency of this type of element we suggest you use it similarly to your previous burner. Turn to maximum until the desired temperature is reached, then turn it down to the setting that best maintains the desired heat.

Controls

The radiant heating elements are controlled by a commonly used Infinite Heat Switch that works on the principle of percent on, percent off. For example, when the switch is turned to the medium setting, the element will be on only 50% of the time. Because of the fast heat-up with these types of elements, you will notice the units switching on and off.

Cookware

The best cooking results and the most economical use of electricity will be achieved by using smooth, flat-bottom pans. Pans should be at least the same size or slightly larger than the cooking area. Ceramic cookware suitable for stovetop cooking may be used. If pans smaller than the size of the heating element are used, care should be taken as the handles may get hot.

Built into each element, is a safety device which protects the element from overheating. If using pans which are not ideal, for example concave or convex bottom pans with shiny bases, or those with ridged or grooved bottoms, the thermal limiter can cause the element to switch off and on during cooking, which means that food will take longer to cook.

Very thin, badly dented, and distorted pans with uneven bottoms should not be used.

Never place utensils with a skirt (e.g. a wok) on the heated area.

Pans should not have rough bottoms. Do not slide pots on the ceramic glass cooking surface, as this may mark or scratch the cooktop.

If pans with aluminum bottoms are slid across the cooking surface, metal marks could result. Such marks are easily cleaned with any non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner, provided they are removed immediately and not allowed to bake onto the surface.

Any guidelines or recommendations given by the saucepan or cooking utensil manufacturer should be followed.

Things Not To Do On A Ceramic Cooktop

Do not leave pots unattended or elements ON for extended periods of time. If an element is mistakenly left on for an extended period of time the built in thermal limiter will ensure that the heat build-up is insufficient to cause any adverse effects.

Do not cook directly on the ceramic cooktop. The surface of the cooktop can be damaged, and will be more difficult to clean.

Do not use wire trivets mats or aluminum foil. They offer no cooking advantages and can damage the ceramic glass surface. Never place plastic or any other material which might melt on any part of the cooktop.

Do not use the cooktop as a chopping board or cutting surface. This type of use can scratch the surface.

Do not leave heavy spills during cooking. Turn heat off and allow surface to cool down. Remove the spills with a clean, damp cloth (no detergent), taking care to avoid burning fingers. If there is detergent in the cloth, you may leave a layer of soil-laden film on the cooktop surface, which can result in discolouration next time the element is switched “on”. If a detergent film builds up, use a ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner.

Care and Cleaning

To keep the exterior nickel and porcelain trim in spotless condition, wipe with a warm soapy cloth. Do not clean ceramic surface with a soapy cloth while cook surface is hot.

See page 31 for complete cleaning guide.

Caution - Product Damage Hazard

Before using any cleaners, ensure that it is suitable for application on polished surfaces or trim, e.g. nickel, anodized aluminum, stainless steel, vitreous enamel, ceramic glass. Certain cleaners may have an adverse effect.

Make sure that the glass ceramic surface has cooled down before applying any cleaning materials.

1. Saving on Cleaning Time

Make sure the bottom of pots and pans and cooking area are clean and dry.

Select correct heat settings and use saucepans large enough to accommodate food and liquid to eliminate boilovers and splattering.

Wipe up food spills and splatters from adjacent heating areas before cooking.

Do not drag or slide pots along the surface.

2. Daily Care

Use a ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner, available at supermarkets and major department stores. As the cleaner-conditioner cleans, it leaves a protective coating of silicone on the smooth surface, which helps prevent scratches and abrasions in which food particles can collect. It also helps prevent the build-up of mineral deposits, and will make future cleaning easier.

Apply a dab of cleaner-conditioner in the center of each heated area to be cleaned.

For normal cleaning start with about 1 ml (1/8 tsp) of cleaner-conditioner, and apply more if needed.

10

Clean unit with a damp clean paper towel. To remove more stubborn spots, use a slightly dampened nonimpregnated plastic or nylon pad specially made for non-stick utensils.

Use liquid cleansers to remove any discoloration, especially in hard water areas. A non-impregnated plastic or nylon pad specially made for non-stick utensils may also be used with these cleaners. Do not apply excessive pressure while rubbing. This could cause scratches over time.

Apply cleaner-conditioner and polish with paper towel or a soft dry cloth.

Any smearing or hazing on the surface may be removed with a lightly dampened paper towel, and polished with a soft dry cloth.

Do not use a sponge or a dishcloth. They may leave a film of soil-laden detergent on the heating area which may turn brown and resemble a discolouration the next time the area is heated. If that should happen, cleanerconditioner will remove it.

Warning

Personal Injury Hazard

Note: If a wet paper towel is used to remove spillovers from warm cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns.

Never mix different household cleaning products.

Chemical mixtures may interact, with objectionable or even hazardous results.

Do Use

Ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner should be used regularly to clean and protect glass-smooth top cooking surface. If you run out, you may temporarily use baking soda as a cleaning powder.

Do Not Use

1.Household detergents and bleaches.

2.Impregnated plastic or nylon pads.

3.Soap pads; these will scratch and mark.

4.Household abrasive powders except where specified; these may scratch depending on the pressure applied in use.

5.Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and oven pads. These are caustic cleaners, and may etch the surface.

6.Rust stain or bath and sink stain removers, as these will mark and etch the surface.

7.Metal scrubbers.

How To Deal With Burned-On Spots

1.Make sure area to be cleaned is warm to the touch.

2.The careful use of a stainless steel razor blade held at approximately 30 degrees to the surface can be used to remove stubborn burned-on spots from the surface.

3.Use cleaner-conditioner, and finally wipe the cooktop clean with a paper towel or damp cloth.

If after the use of recommended materials there are some persistent stains or marks on the cooktop, the unit should be cleaned using a liquid cleanser. This will remove any accumulated residue of cleaner-conditioner, and if applied with a non-impregnated plastic or nylon pad for non-stick pans, for at least three to four minutes, it will also take off the film caused by salts and minerals before it has an opportunity to discolor or develop into a problems. Finish off with a touch of cleaner-conditioner, polish to a high lustre.

Any smearing or streaking on the surface may be removed with lightly dampened paper towel and polished with a soft dry cloth.

Metal Marks

Certain metal pots, especially those with aluminum bottoms may leave marks on the surface, especially if the pan is allowed to slide. Use the cleaner-conditioner before the unit is used again to prevent the mark from baking on the surface.

Caution

Product Damage Hazard

Ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner should be applied regularly after use of other cleaners, otherwise over a period of time the surface of the ceramic glass may roughen, and cleaning will become progressively more difficult. Staining may also occur.

Important Notes

1.In the event of the cooktop being scratched, soil will collect and appear as fine lines. These are not fully removable, but can be minimized by the daily use

of cleaner-conditioner. These scratches do not affect cooking performance.

2.Soil from sugar solutions must be removed from the cooktop before the syrup has set, otherwise it can permanently bond to the ceramic surface.

Electric Surface Elements

Solid Cast Elements

Before using your solid elements for the first time:

Heat the elements at max without a pan for 3 to 5 minutes or until smoking stops. The smoking is normal and non toxic.

Solid elements are sealed with a lacquer coating that prevents corrosion. This coating must be burned into the elements to be effective in protecting against rust. The coating will be transferred to the bottom of pans if this procedure is not done.

Because solid elements are different from coil elements, you can expect to see differences in cooking performance, cleaning and safety.

11

Solid elements take longer than coil elements to reach the set temperature but they retain heat for longer periods of time after being turned off.

Solid elements are easier to clean up, because the cooking surface is sealed against spills. There are no drip bowls or a burner box to clean.

Solid elements should not glow red even at max setting. The red lettering will fade with use.

Solid elements have built-in temperature protectors that automatically reduce heat if a pan boils dry.

You will notice that a cast burner stove top gets hot, especially when the burners are on for long periods of time. This is normal for any range with solid elements. This condition is safe. To minimize heat build up, reduce burner heat setting to #3 after pot has come to a boil.

Selection & Use of Pots & Pans

Flat Bottoms

Thick, flat bottoms absorb and distribute the heat from the element more evenly. Thin, uneven bottoms waste energy and create hot spots that may burn the food onto cookware.

Glass cooktops require heavy gauge flat bottom pans for best cooking results.

Check flatness with a ruler or straight edge. See figure 7.

Figure 7

Pot Diameter

Select element to match pan diameter. The pot should be slightly larger than the element to obtain best energy usage, and avoid spillovers flowing directly onto element.

Do not use pans extending more than one inch beyond element, except while canning. See figure 8.

Figure 8

Small diameter pans waste energy and spillage can flow onto element. This increases chance of fire and burns.

For Smooth Top & Cast Burner Ranges

Use non-stick coated cookware, for easier clean up. Glass or pyroceram pans should be used only as the manufacturer describes.

Pressure cookers, deep fat fryers, canners, etc. must be of the correct size and have flat bottoms to work properly.

Energy Tips

Use cookware with tight-fitting lids, and flat bottoms which completely cover the heated portion of the element. Watch foods when bringing them to cooking temperatures at high heat. When food reaches cooking temperature, reduce heat to lowest setting that will keep it cooking.

Use residual heat with surface cooking. For example, when cooking eggs in the shell, bring water to a boil, then turn element off, and allow heat in water to complete cooking.

When boiling water for tea or coffee, heat only the amount needed. Do not use a wire trivet or any other kind of heat retarding pad between the pan and the element.

Griddle Option

OPTIONAL

GRIDDLE

Griddle for electric ranges

To use griddle over the back/front burner combination on left side of stove. Turn both burners on high for at least five minutes to allow griddle to heat up to frying temperature. Temperatures may be adjusted as required.

Griddle for gas ranges

Set griddle on the left over the back/front burner combination. Lock the notches of the griddle onto the back & front grate fingers. First make sure that grates are positioned on burners correctly. Turn both front & back burners on to correct frying temperature.

Warning: Do not use two griddles on a range as warping of the top can occur.

canning

For best results, use a flat bottom, heavy gauge canner. Canners with rippled bottoms will not work on electric burners because the bottom does not make enough contact with the element. This wastes energy and takes a long time to boil water.

Gas Cooktop

Gas cooktops are more forgiving than electric cooktops. Most cookware will work, although tight fitting lids are recommended for efficient cooking on both. Always adjust the burner controls so that flames do not extend past the edges of pots or pans.
