SeMecting Surface Cooking UtensiMs

Forbest result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these caracteristics:

Pans should have flat bottoms that make

good contact with the entire surface ele-

ment Check for flatness by rotating a ruler

across the bottom_ There should be no gaps between the pan and ruler

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose Follow manufacturer's instruc°

tions_ Some utensils were not made to be

used in the oven or on the cooktop

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for useon your cooktop are available in

most cookshop or hardware stores. Round-bottomed woks (with a

support ring that does not extend beyond tile heating element) may also be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely

when it isfilledwith large amountsof

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.

I)0 NOT use two elements (if the cooktop is not equipped with bridge element) to heat one large pan such asaroaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils

to boil dry. Thebottom surfaceofthe

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 tile drip pans (if equipped).

Wire trivets: Do not use wire

trivets. Cookware bottoms must be

in direct contact with the surface elements.

For glass smoothtop models, only flat bottomed woks (without support rings) may be used.

Canning Tips & Information

Canning can gener-

ate large amounts of steam. Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to vent steam away from you.

1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glassjars for the latest canning information.

2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.

3. Center canner on the surface element.

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 aslow aspossible to

maintain a constant boil.

5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

Prevent damage to cooktop:

1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch beyond the edge of the surface element.

2. Do not leavewater bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.

3. Alternate surface elements between each batch to allow the units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Tryto avoid canning on the same element

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 continuously for the required time.

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. Makesurethe diameter of the pan matchesthe diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (SeeFigure 1). Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Onlyflabbottom cookware should be used. Thetype

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 areasbeyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to

cause burns.

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 heatto provide auniform 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.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and

Controls Your range is equipped with radiant surface elements with

different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increasesas the element wattage increases.

The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows:

Model A shown Only

Figure 2

NOTE; Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the 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 HIsetting. Thishelps

to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling attile

HIsetting is normal and can occur if the cookware istoo small

for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat

(Refer to page 6 under Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils).

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 glasswill come back to its original white color after it has completely cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).

Model A (See Figures 1and 2):

- A 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;

- A dual 6or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A Warmer Zone radiant element at the center rear position (See page 12);

- Two 8 inch radiant elements located at both the left front and rear positions.

- Between left front and rear elements is a Bridge radiant element. The BRIDGEradiant element is controlled using the sameknobthat controls the left front radiant element position. (See pages 10 and 11 for more information about using

BRIDGEradiant element)

Mode/B (see Figure 1):

- Two 6 inch radiant elements atthe right and left rear position;

- A dual 6or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A Warmer Zone radiant element at the center rear position (See page 12);

- A 8 inch radiant element located at the left front position.

Mode_ C(see Figure I):

- Two 6 inch radiant elements one atthe right rear position and

the other at the left front position;

- A dual 6or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;

Setting Warmer Drawer ControMs (some modems)

Arranqing Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Drawer Rack Positions

The racFcan be used in 2 ways:

Inthe upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under

and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath).

Inthe downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and

empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack. Set the Warmer Drawer Rack in either position as shown below (Figure 1).

Operating the Warmer Drawer

The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperatu re. Always start with hot food. It isnot recommended to heat cold food in the Warmer Drawer. All food placed in the Warmer Drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use pJastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to dean. Use only

utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warmer Drawer.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the

Warmer Drawer ascookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.

Warmer Drawer Temperature Selection

Recommended Warmer Drawer settingstable isshown in Figure2. If aparticular food

isnot listed, start with the IV]lEDsetting. If more crispness isdesired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance,

meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), usethe Ht setting. To avoid heat loss,do not open the Warmer Drawer while in use.

To Set the Warmer Drawer Controls:

Preheating Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before preheating. Foodswill stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROILas instructed in the Electronic Oven Control Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating isnot necessarywhen broiling meats well-done.

Open door

to the "Broil Stop"

position when broiling_

A[ways pum[ oven rack out to the "stop" position be- fore turning or removing

food.

To Broil

Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Seasonand serve.

Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.

Determining BroiJing Times

Broiling times w_ry,so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from the

element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and aloneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also require

additional time.

Broiling Tips

The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the

high heat of the broiler.

DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foiL The

exposed grease couJd ignite.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If

the fire continues, throw baking sodaon the fire or use afire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Grid

Broiler Ctean-Up Tips:

To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover tile broiler grid with foil. To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT,soapy water. Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.

Porcelain enamel cooktop cleaning instructions (some models}

Do not usea cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. Thefumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically

damage the cooking surface.

Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure tile controls are turned to OFFand the cooktop is cool. DO NOT use commerdaJ oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces including rangetop and door frame.

Correct and consistent cleaning isessential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food spills and grease spatters are

not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.

Daily Cleaning For normal soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Wipe off spills and spatters using aclean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water.

3. If needed, use asoapy steel wool pad or other mild household cleaners.

4. Be sure to rinse off tile cleaners or tile porcelain may become damaged during future heating.

For heavy, burned-on soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning (:ream on tile spots and rub gently using a clean damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with the cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions.

For sugary spil!overs:

Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spillswhile the cooktop is still

hot. Usecaution when following the steps below.

1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.

2. Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills away from the element area with a clean damp cloth.

3. Allow the cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.

Cooktop Cleaning - Ceramic Glass Cooktop Models

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

1} Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will damage tile cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.

2) Aluminum utensils Tile melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, (:aremust be taken when aluminum pots or pans

are used. If allowed to boil dr:?,not only will tile utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in tile form of breakage, fusing or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on tile cooktop can cause metal

markings on tile cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately

after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can

become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass acrossthe cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the

kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to

crack.

Things to Remember

1. AVOID using bleach and don't use ammonia to clean tile ceramic surface.

2. Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.

3. Never slide oven racks across cooktop surface. They may scratch or metalmark the cooktop.

4. tf cooktop should break, do not use cooktop or attempt to clean it. Call your authorized service technician immediately.

5. Never usea trivet or metal stand between the cooking utensil and the ceramic cooktop. The ceramic surface may be scratched, metal marked or etched by

such items.

6. Sugary spills (:an cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when following the steps below. a) Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately. b) Wearing an oven mitt, use arazor blade scraper to scrape the hot spill out

- Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.

During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOTleavesmall

children unattended nearthe appliance.

The health of some birds isextremely sensitive to the fumes given off during tile self-cleaning cycle of any range.

Move birds to another well ventilated room.

Before cleaning any part of the oven, besure the electronic oven control isturned off or else push CANCEL pad.

Wait until tile oven is cool.

DO NOT use commercial oven cleanersor oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self<leaning oven. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door isessential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. DO NOT cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.

A self<leaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or

reduce it to a fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth.

allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after (:leaning.

2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration). These areasheat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do

not withstand high cleaning temperatures

4. Oven racks may be left in tile oven or may be removed. If they go through the clean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed and the oven hascooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil. This will make the racks glide easier.

NOTE: A smoke eliminator inthe oven vent converts most of the soil into a colorless vapor.
