IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place pan of food on the element before turning it on, and turn the element off before removing the

pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with

one or more surface burners 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 unit 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 unintentional contact with the utensil.

• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop--The

Searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop.

Doing so ma 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--Onlycertain types ofglass,

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 COOKTOPS WITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Surface

Heating Elements. Surface heating elements should never be immerse in water. Heating elements clean

themselves during normal operation.

• Hake Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place. Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may

subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

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.

• 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 Eght 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.

FOR SELF-CLEANING OVEN

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

the appliance listed in this Owner's Guide. Before

using the self-cleaning 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 sea!. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Do 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.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in the 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 wall

oven. Hove birds to another well ventilated room.

Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure 1).

Cookware Haterial 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).

Figure 2

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 HETAL - 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.

The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

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 isfilled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).

DO NOT usetwo elements (if the cooktop isnot 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/

damage to the drip pans (if equipped).

Canning Tips & :Information

1. Use tested recipes and follow instructionscarefully. 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 isflat.

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.

Forglass 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 burner grate.

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!y for the required time- .........
