IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
®
Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit.
• Use Proper Pan SizemThis appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of surface heating to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface will also improve efficiency.
- Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward
and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface
Units--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentiona!
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 unit.
- Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop--The
Searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop.
Doing so may result in a fire.
- Never Leave Surface Units Unattended--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 as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on the food. Any other used of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or a short circuit.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
- Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers.
If an element 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.
FOR GLASS COOKTOP ONLY
• 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 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.
• Do not place hot cookware on cold cooktop
glass-- This cold cause glass to break.
• Avoid Scratching the Cooktop Glass with Sharp
Objects.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door--Stand to the
side of the appliance when opening the door/drawer of
a hot appliance. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven/drawer.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is
vented at the front above the oven door. 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.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks
air flow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
• Placement of Oven Racks, Always place oven racks
in desired location while appliance iscool. Remove all
utensils from the rack before removing rack. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution.
Use pot holders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let pot holders contact the hot oven
element or interior of the oven.
= Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. 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 or oven bottom
with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could
ignite.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp
cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to the
appliance before removing and replacing the bulb.
IIvIPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR OVEN
• Clean the appliance 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 instructionsfor cleaning.
• Cleaners/Aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's
recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess
residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and/or injury.
SELF=CLEANING OVEN ONLY
• Clean in the self-deaning cycle only the parts of
the appliance listed in this Owner's Guide. Before
using the selFdeaning cycle of the appliance, remove
all utensils stored in the appliance.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
o De not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven
liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the appliance.
o Remove oven racks, Oven racks color will change if
left in the oven during a selFcleaning cycle.

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).
To level the range:
1. Use a 1-1/4" open end key or an 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 its final position, then put a spirit
level on the rack to check for levelness. Take two
readings, one with the level placed diagonally first in
one direction, and then the other.
4. Use the 1-1/4" key or wrench to adjust the leveling
legs. Turn each one until the range stands firm
without wobbling.
Night Light Replacement (Some models)
To remove and replace the fluorescent light:
1. Lift up the control panel cover.
2. Place your fingers on the tube at approximately 20.3
cm (8") from each end.
3. To remove, turn the tube 90° then pull it out of its
sockets.
4. To replace the tube, engage the new tube into the
sockets, then rotate and snap the tube in place light
to make it sure it will lit.
Circuit Protection
As a protection against surcharge, a 15 amp, 120 volt
fuse is provided for the electric outlet located on top of
the control panel.
To access the fuse(s) raise the control panel cover. Mod-
els with no electric outlet have no fuse.
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using proper cookware as
illustrated in Figures 1 & 2.
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface heating element (Figure
1). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (Figure 2).

Figure 1
Cool{ware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface element 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). If aluminum pans
slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave
metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove
these marks immediately.
Copper- Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. Nay
leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).
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. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
Porcelain-enamel on metal- Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic
cooktops.
Glass- Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the
glass.
Figure 2
Specialty Pans & Trivets
Wokswith fiat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop
are available in most cookshop or hardware stores.
Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does
not extend beyond the heating element) may also be
used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok
safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup
making) or fat (frying).
DO NOT use two elements (if the cooktop is not
equipped with bridge element) to heat one large pan
such as a roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils
to boil dry. The bottom surface of the pan in either of
these situations could cause discoloring or crazing of
the porcelain enamel range surface, and damage to the
surface elements and/or damage to the drip pans (if
equipped).
Canning Tips & Information
1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully.
Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural
Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for
the latest canning information.
2. Use fiat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more
evenly when the bottom surface is fiat.
3. Center canner on the burner grate.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to
reduce the time it takes to bring the water to a boil;
then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to
maintain a constant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Wire trivets- Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms
must be in direct contact with the surface elements.
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring
that extends beyond the surface element. Because
this ring traps heat, the surface element and cooktop
surface could be damaged.
For glass smoothtop models,
only fiat bottomed woks
(without support rings) may
be used.
Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use
extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid
to vent steam away from you.
Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that
extend more than one inch beyond the edge of the
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on
high heat for an extended amount of time.
3. Alternate surface units between each batch to
allow the units and surrounding surfaces to coo!
down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner
unit all day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are
destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When
canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil
....must be maintained continuous!yfor the required time- .........
Ceramic Glass Cooktop (model C only)
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.
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop
to the cookware. Only fiat-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.
Panswith rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface.
Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface
(without cooking utensil) is not recommended as
difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and
cause a potential fire hazard.
Never use the griddle or similar cooking sheet on the
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 iscomplete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
Types of the heating elements used
Your cooktop is equipped with radiant surface radiant
elements with different wattage ratings. The ability to
heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the
element wattage increases.
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
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element
to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HTsetting. This
helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top.
Cycling at the HTsetting is normal and can occur if the

SETTING BROIL
This mode is best for meats, fish and poultry up to 1"
thick. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat
by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The
high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer ap-
pearance. The BROIL pad controls the Broil feature. An
optional Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Insert are available
via the enclosed accessories brochure (Figure 1 & 2). The
optional broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow
dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high
heat of the oven broiler.
Broiling Tips:
-For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 5
minutes.
-Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook
on the second side. Season and serve.
-Always pull the rack out to the "stop" position before
turning or removing food.
-Always use the broiler pan and its cover when broiling.
It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the
high heat of the broil element (see Figure 1).
-For best broiling results, broil with the oven door in the
broil stop position (see Figure 3).
