Important safety instructions

Safety 5

Important instructions for using your

cooktop

WARNING

Use Proper Flame Size-Adjust flame size so

it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will

expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before

turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that

burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners- •

To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional

contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward,

and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings- Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except

as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of

electric shock, or fire.

Important instructions for using your oven

Use care when opening oven door or lower oven drawer (if equipped)- Stand to the side of

the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.The

oven vent is located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven

is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or

near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

Placement of oven racks.Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If

rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the

rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in

the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

Do not use the broiler pan without insert.The

broiler pan and insert allows dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the

broiler.

Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

Cold temperatures can damage the electronic

control. When using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has not been used

for an extended period of time, be certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.

Glazed cooking utensils-Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or

other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cook top

use.

6 Safety

Features

10 Getting Started

About the griddle (some models)

Your new appliance is supplied with a griddle. Use the raised grill side of the griddle-Fig. 1- to cook

meats such as sausage, steak, bacon, or other items that produce grease when cooking. Use the smooth side of the griddle-Fig. 2- to cook items such as pancakes, eggs or grilled cheese

sandwiches. The griddle will perform best on the left side, but

may be used on the right side. Make sure that all burners are turned off before placing the griddle on the grates.

Before first use

1. Wash griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.

2. Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).

3. Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.

The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from the seasoning process. If desired, wash

the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.

Using the griddle

• Place either side of the griddle centered over the left or right side of gas burner grates. Be sure

locking tabs fit properly on top of grates-Fig. 1-.

• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to

medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even

heat distribution during the cooking process.

• DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI burner setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

Cookware should always:

Have a flat bottom.

Have tight fitting lids. Be well balanced.

Be made of a material that conducts heat well.

Be easy to clean.

Cookware material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and

quickly heat is transferred from the surface burner

to the pan bottom. The most popular materials

available are:

• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized

aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting).

* Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors

easily.

• Stainless steel -Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

• Cast iron -A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

• Porcelain-enamel on metal -Heating characteristics will vary depending on base

material.

• Glass- Slow heat conductor.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points

when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of

Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the

information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner

bottom.

• Use only acompletely fiat bottom cannerwith no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning using aceramic cooktop.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element

markings or burner. It is 8commended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and

ceramic glass cooktops.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain

that boil.

IMPORTANT

NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different surface cooking areas at the same time.
