_ This symbol will help alert you to situations that may cause bodily injury or property damagel

• Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the range. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after

unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with packaging material.

• Proper Installation--Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in

accordance with CSA C22.1 PART 1-- latest edition and local code requirements, install only per installation in-

structions provided inthe literature package for this range.

• Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the

electrical power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.

• User Servicing -- Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the

manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician to reduce the risk of personal injury

and damage to the range.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing panels, wire covers or any other part of the

product.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or

drawer of this range can result in serious injuries and may also cause damage to the range. Do not allow children

to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious

burns or other injury.

Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if

equipped) for storage. = Storage in or on Appliance -- Flammable materials

should not be stored in an oven, near surface units or in the storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth

items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as

aerosol cans, on or near the range. Flammable materials may explode and result infire or property damage.

Do not store items of interest to children

in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a

range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where an appliance

is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEARTHESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR iNTERiOR SUR-

FACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if equipped). Both surface units and oven heating elements

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 or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had

sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and

surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

• Wear Proper Apparel -- Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the

appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

Never use your appliance for warming or

heating the room.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry

chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire ifallowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders-- Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not

let the potholders touch hot heating surface units or interior oven elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth

instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result

in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.

• IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven

during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Food left

unattended could catch fire or spoil.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold temperatures. When you use your range for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of

time, make sure that it has been exposed to a tempera- ture above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before connect-

ing it to the power supply.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

• Use Proper Pan Size -- This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils

having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the

surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the

surface unit will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should BeTurned inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units -- To reduce

the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

= Never Leave Surface Units Unattended -- Boilovers

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

• Do Not immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements

-- Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• 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.

Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven iscool. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack. 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 oven element or interiorof the oven.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away

from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler grid 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 range or

turn off the power to the range before removing and

replacing light bulb.

• Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the range. 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 a short circuit.

SELF=CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self=cleaning cycle only the parts of the

oven listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in

the oven.

FOR CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP MODELS

• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop -- if 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 with Caution -- Ifa 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 Door-- Stand to the side of the

range when opening thedoorof ahotoven. Lethotair or steam

escape before you remove or replace food inthe oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented

between thecooktop and 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 itemson or near the oven vent.These itemscould melt or ignite.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protectivecoatingofanykindshouldbe usedinoraround any part

of the oven.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks colour will change if left inthe oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely

sensitive to the fumes given off during the self=clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well venti=

lated room.

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. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire.

Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

Follow alldimension requirements provided above to prevent property damage, Potential fire hazard, and incorrect countertop and cabinet cuts.

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided, if cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 12.7 cm (5") beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Electrical Connection Requirements Plug the range cable (4 conductors) intoa 4 conductor range outlet. Outlet must be properly grounded and inaccordance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA Standard (C22.1 Part 1 -- latest edition) -- and any local electrical code require-

ments.

Location

Set your new range 1.3 cm (1/2") away from the rear wall and line it up with the kitchen counters. Make sure there is at least 1.3 cm (1/2") of clearance between each side of the range and the kitchen counters. Allow 7.6 cm (3") min. clearance between your range and the refrigerator, if they are side by side.

Circuit Protection (Models with electric oulet(s)) As a protection against surcharge, a 15 amp, 120 volt breaker is provided for each of the electric outlet(s) (2 max.) located on

top or underneath of the control panel. Models with no electric outlet have no breaker.

Leveling

For good baking results, your range should be level. Screw type leveling legs are provided at each corner of the range at the base. Remove the storage drawer to adjust the leveling legs. (Refer to Storage Drawer section).

1. Use a 1-1/4" open end key oran adjustable wrench to equally unscrew the four leveling legs two to three turns each.

2. install an oven rack in the center of the oven.

_ 3. Move the range to itsfinal position, then put a spirit level on the rack to

check for levelness. Take two readings, one with the level placed

To level the range:

diagonally first in one direction, and then the other.

4. Use the 1-1/4" key or wrench to adjust the levelinglegs.Turn each one

until the range stands firm without wobbling.

5. Some models are supported by smooth glide rollers to facilitate moving. iffloor is fiat and level, open the drawer and lower the front roller locking levers (some models) to

DO NOT use the surface element in self-clean mode. During the self-clean cycle, the surface elements,

when used, are subjected to high heat. To ensure maximum element life, do not use the surface element during a self-clean cycle.

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (Some models)

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figure 1). Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop tothe cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns. The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) is not recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire hazard.

About the Radiant Surface Elements The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As

the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Ele- ments and Controls Your appliance is equipped with radiant surface ele-

ments with differents wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as

the element wattage increases. The example shown (figure 1) describes a model with

all kind of elements you could possibly have, but the

element configuration, the appearance and graph- ics of your cooktop may be different. Figure 2 have a

smaller 6 inch radiant element located at the right rear position; a dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element located at the right front position; a Warmer Zone radiant element at the center rear position; and two 8 inch radiant ele- ments located at both the left front and rear positions.

Located between left front and rear elements is a Bridge radiant element.

The Bridge radiant element iscontrolled using the same knob that controls the left front radiant element

position.

Element Configuration, appearance and graphics of

cooktops may be differents

Electronic Surface Element Controls (ESEC) display (some models) - see page 8

Warmer Zone Element (some models)- see page 11

Figure 1

NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when the element will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its original white color after it has completely cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning inthe General Care & Cleaning section and

Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the Hi setting. This helps to prevent

damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the Hi setting is normal and can occur ifthe cookware is too small for the radiant

element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 12 under Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils).

Setting Surface Controls

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop and Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC) (some models)

The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC) feature includesdigital display windows. The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital setting for the radiant surface element positions on the cooktop. These settings work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in digital windows (Figures. t thru 4).

The available ESEC Display Settings

The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Figure 2) to Lo (Figure 3) and OFF (Figure 1). The settings from Hi to 3.0 decrease in increments of .5. The settings from 3.0 to Lo (Simmer settings) decrease in increments of .2 for more precise settings of lower heat

levels. Use the chart (on page 1O)to determine the correct setting for the kind

of food you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate

orbutter. Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting o _ @

it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or Figure3 wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface

elements.

Hot Element indicator Message (HE) After using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The ESEC control monitors the tempera-

ture of the cooktop and displays the message "HE" (hot element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to touch (Figure 5). If the HE message appears inthe window, the control can be turned on again for use.

ESEC Error indicator Message (Er)

An error message will be displayed (flashing "Er") at power up (or after a power failure) ifANY of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions (See Figure 6). Ifa power failure should occur, be sure to set all of the surface control knobs to the OFF position. This will reset the surface controls. Once the surface controls have been set to the OFF positions, the surface controls should return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and the"Er" message remains inany display after following these procedures, contact an authorized servicer for assistance.

ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )

The ESEC feature will not operate during a Self-Clean cycle. Whenever the ESEC Lockout feature is active,

" - -" will appear inany display window (See Figure 7).
