lmportantSafetymstructions

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR

THESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR iNTE-

RiOR SURFACES 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 gar-

ments should never be worn while using the appli-

ance. 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 if allowed 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 appliance 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 may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by

cold temperatures. When you use your appliance 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

connecting 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 flat 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. The handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is

turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface

unit.

• 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 foil 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 rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.

Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element 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 COOKTOPS 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door or Warmer Drawer (if

equipped)--Stand to the side of the appliance 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 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.

Placement of Oven/Warmer Drawer (if equipped)

Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/drawer (if equipped) is cool. 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 interior of the oven/warmer drawer (if

equipped).

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.

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.

Oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

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 oven.

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 range. Move birds to another well ventilated

room.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 or warmer drawer (if

equipped) 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

appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before

removing and replacing light bulb.

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 instruc-

tions for 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.

Cooktop radiant areas that heat. Your appliance may

have one of these configurations - Fig. 1

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 Elements and Controls

Your range isequipped with radiant surface elements with different wattage

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

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

Model A (See Fig. 1):

- Two dual 5 or 7 inch radiant element at the right and left rear position;

- Two dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the right and left front position;

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 Fig. 1).

Heat is transferred upthrough the surface of the cooktop to the 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.

Model B (see Fig. 1):

- Two 6 inch radiant elements at the right rear and left front positions;

- A 8 inch radiant element at the left rear position;

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

Model D shown Only - Fig. 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 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

ifthe cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 12

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

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

Model C (see Fig. 1):

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

- A dual 9 / 12 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position.

Model D (See Figs. 1 and 2):

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

- A dual 9/12 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position;

- AWarmer Zone radiant element located between the right and

left rear positions.

Model E (see Fig. 1):

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

- A dual 9 / 12 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A Bridge radiant element located at the left front & rear positions.

The electronic surface element control (ESEC)

Radiant

surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have

been turned off. A hot surface indicator light will come on

and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled

down to a moderate level. The glass surface may still be

hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has

turned off.

Do not place

plastic items such as salt

and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it

is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,

towelsorwooden spoonscould catch fire if placed too close

to the surface elements.

The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature includes digital 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 (Figs. 2 thru 5).

The available ESEC Display Settings

The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 3) to Lo (Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 2).

Use the chart (on top of page) to determine the correct setting for the kind offood you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities offoods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are idealfor delicate foods and melting chocolate
