IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Always turnthe knob to the
LITE position when ignitingthe burners Visuatly check that burner has lit Then adjust
the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensii
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one ormore surface burners of
different sizes Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
burner The use of undersized utensils wil! expose a portion of the surface burnerto direct
contact and may result in ignitionof clothing Proper relationship of utensil to the surface
burner will also improve efficiency
Safety
. 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 oven bottom or any other part of the
appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed
on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire or short circuit.
. Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations
for rangetop use.
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers, if a burner is accidentally turned on,
the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers
are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because the covers
may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion
problems.
• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
. Clean cooktop glass with caution--if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
. Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
. Use care when opening oven door or warmer 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/warmer drawer.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located under the cooktop.
Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns.
Also, do not place plasticor heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items
could melt or ignite.
• Placement of ovenlwarmer drawer (if equipped) racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. if rack must be moved
while over] 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/
warmer drawer (if equipped). Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
. Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow
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.
. Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to
break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing
and replacing light bulb.
Safety
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire.
Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow
grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire.
When you are flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in this Use and Care Guide.
Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the
oven.
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,
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,
Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in the oven during a self-
cleaning cycle.

Surface Cooking
FLAMES(ZE
Ill [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to
complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size
for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food
being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly.
If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food
will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too
much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
*Flame Size
High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame
*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with
lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame
simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the
flame.
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
PROPERBURNERADJUSTMENTS
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue
and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply
defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions
under General Care & Cleaning.
