Important Safety Instruc- tions

Fire Safety • Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance,

especially surface unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

• Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

• If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door closed. Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. For example, never use the appliance for warming or heating the room. Never use the appliance for storage.

• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

• If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent, or fan, be certain that flam- mable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burn- ers or elements. They could catch on fire.

• Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.

• WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

English 1

_L,Safety

a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flamb6ing food

(i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accu-

mulate on fan or filter.

d) d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of

the surface element.

• In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immedi- ately to extinguish flames.

• Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

• Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.

• WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOW- ING:

a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray,

then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE

DEPARTMENT.

b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned. c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent

steam explosion will result.

d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

3) The fire department is being called.

4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

• Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the oven.

• Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

Gas Safety

WARNING: Ifthe information in this manual is not fol-

lowed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing

property damage, personal injury or death.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flamma- ble vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch.

• Do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call fire department.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, authorized service agency or the gas supplier.

• Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located.

English 2

,_ Safety

• If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.

• If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself" procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and this must be done by a qualified service technician. See "WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:" on page 2.

• During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be lit manually.

Burn Prevention • DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface

units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.

Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materi- als contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, sur- faces near these openings and oven doors.

• Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer) slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.

• Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

• Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements.

• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').

• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bub- bling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

• Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

Child Safety • When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal respon-

sibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appli- ance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.

• Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

• CAUTION - Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

Cleaning Safety IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking and Toxic

Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of sub- stances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc- tive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure

to such substances.

English 3

_L,Safety

a) The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-

cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide.

b) The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small amounts

of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.

c) Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:

1) Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.

2) Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self cleaning the oven.

3) Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.

• Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet clothes or sponges can cause

burns from steam.

• When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door does not lock, do not run Self-Clean. Contact service.

• Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could reach them. During self clean, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.

• After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.

• Keep oven free from grease build up.

Cookware Safety

Proper Installation and Maintenance

• Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

• Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.

• Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.

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

• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja- cent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.

• Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety

risks.

• Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

• This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified techni- cian. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instruc-

tions for details.

• All ranges can tip. Injury to persons could result. Install anti-tip device pack- aged with range. Verify that the anti-tip devices are engaged. See installation instructions.

English 4

Figure 1: Tipping Precautions

,_ Safety

• This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the Warranty. If you have any questions, con-

tact the manufacturer.

• Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood prod- ucts in or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury.

• Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged. Contact an authorized servicer.

• Do not obstruct oven vents.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom- mended in this manual. Refer all servicing to a factory authorized service cen-

ter.

• In the event of an error the display flashes and beeps continuously. If this happens during self-clean, disconnect appliance from the power supply and call a qualified technician.

• In the event of an error the display flashes and beeps continuously. Discon- nect appliance from the power supply and call a qualified technician.

Burner Grates

The cooktop has four burner caps. Match the size of the burner cap to the size of the burner. Burner caps are not interchangeable.

Make sure the burner cap is completely seated on the burner base before attempting to light the burner. If the burner cap is not placed correctly, the burner may not light or the flame may not burn completely or correctly.

,_ Warning: To prevent flare-ups, do not use the cooktop without all burner

caps and all burner grates properly positions. Do not use a grate if the feet are missing or damaged.

There are two burner grates: one for the left side of the cooktop and one for the right side of the cooktop. Position them so that the circular opening is over the burner cap. Burner grates should rest flat on the cooktop. The rubber feet on the

grates should rest in the indents on the cooktop.

Boiling Water

Recommended Settings

Time to boil can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions. Try the fol- lowing tips to decrease boil time:

• Use a lid.

• Use a pan that is appropriately sized for the amount of water and the size of the burner.

• Select a pan with a flat base (See "Cookware Selection Guide" on page 16 for details).

• Choose a medium-weight pan (rather than a heavy-weight one).

• Start with water that is already warm.

• Boil the smallest amount of water necessary. Smaller volumes will boil faster than larger volumes.

Use this chart as a guide for heat settings. A range of heat settings are listed because the actual setting depends on:

• type and quality of pan (See "Selecting Cookware"),

• type, quantity and temperature of the food,

• burner used and

• the cook's preference.

High Med-High

Med Med Low Low

Pan selection directly affects cooking speed and uniformity. For best results select pans with flat bases. When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom) should rest evenly on the surface without wobbling (rocking). Flat, medium-to-heavy-weight pans are

best.

Turn the pan upside down on the countertop and place a ruler flat against the bottom of the pan. The bottom of the pan and the straight edge of the ruler should be flush against each other.

Another simple test to determine even heat distri- bution across the cookware bottom is to place 1" (25.4 mm) of water in the pan. Bring the water to a

boil and observe the location of the bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good, flat cookware will have

an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area.

Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size

English 16

The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the

pan.

Placeoversizedpansthatspantwoburnersfronttorear,notsidetoside. TightFitting Lids - A lid shortens cooking/boiling time by holding heat inside the

pot.

Cookware Tips • Use of pots and pans with rounded (either concave or convex) warped or

dented bottoms should be avoided. See drawings.

• Make sure the bottom of the pot or pan being used is clean and dry.

• Use pots and pans with thick, smooth metal bottoms.

Specialty Pans Specialty pans such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers, woks, water bath

canners and pressure canners must have the same features as described above. Use only a flat-bottomed wok.

Rack Position

• RACK POSITION 6 (highest position) - melting cheese, broiling thin foods

• RACK POSITION 5- broiling most meats, toasting bread

• RACK POSITION 4 - broiling thicker meats

• RACK POSITION 3 - most baked goods when baking on one rack, such as on cookie sheet or baking pan, cakes, frozen foods, biscuits, brownies,

muffins

• RACK POSITION 2 - Used for pies, casseroles, breads, bundt or pound cakes, small roasts or poultry.

• RACK POSITION 1 (lowest position) - Use for angel food cake, large roasts, turkey.

Multiple Rack Cooking

Pan Placement

Baking Pans

Figure 7: Rack Positions

When using multiple racks, follow the placement recommendations below.

• Two rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5.

Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other. To allow for best baking results stagger pans as shown in the graphic below.

Figure 8: Pan Placement

Here are some tips for cooking with baking pans:

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat, therefore reduce oven temperature 25°F when baking in glass.

• Shiny, smooth metal reflects heat resulting in lighter, more delicate browning.

English 17

GettingtheMostOutofYourAppliance

• Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing temperature 25° F when using these pans. Follow manufacturer recommendations.

• Use glass or dark metal pans for pies.

• Insulated baking pans may increase the recommended baking time.

Preheating the Oven

Oven Cooking Modes

Bake, Proof and Warm

Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Setting a higher tempera- ture does not shorten preheat time. Place oven racks in proper position before preheating. A beep will confirm that oven is preheated and selected oven temper- ature will be displayed.

Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. The lower burner cycles to maintain the oven temperature. Bake mode can be used to prepare foods like pastries and casseroles as well as to roast

meats.

When proofing, the oven will use the upper and lower element to maintain a low temperature to proof bread.

• Proofing is the rising of a yeast dough.

• The Proofing temperature is 100 ° F.

• Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of the container.

• Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.

Broil

When warming, the upper and lower elements maintain a low temperature in the oven cavity in order to keep food at serving temperature. There are two warming

levels: WARM HIGH and WARM LOW.

• Use the Warming setting on the oven to keep foods hot until ready to serve.

• WARM HIGH is 190° F and WARM LOW is 150° F.

• Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.

CAUTION

When using Warm mode, follow these guidelines:

• Do not use the Warm Mode to heat cold food.

• Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends hold- ing hot food at 140°F or warmer.

• DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.

Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the upper burner. The Broil mode is best suited to cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the

door closed.

The benefits of Broiling include:

,____ _--_ _--_ _--_d I

English 18

• Fast and efficient cooking

• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids

• Browning as the food cooks

For Best Results:

Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes. Steaks and Chops should be at least 314"thick Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking Use the broil pan and grid included with your range Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering Turn meats once halfway through the recommended cooking time (see Broil Chart for examples). When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such as Corningware®. Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); they can't tolerate the high temperature.
