Cooktop radiant areas that heat. Your appliance may

have one of these configurations - Fig. 1

About the Radiant Surface E_ements

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 E_ements and Controls

Your range is equipped 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:

Mode! A (See Fig. 1):

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

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

About the Ceramic G_ass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface eUements Uocated beUow the surface of the gUass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface eUementunderneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the eUementoutline on the cooktop (See Fig. 1).

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the

cookware. OnUyflat-bottom cookware shouUdbe used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface eUements in use

and their settings, are aHfactors that wHUaffect the amount of heat that wHUspread to areas beyond the surface eUements.The areas surrounding the eUements may become hot enough to

cause burns.

Mode/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 rfuaJ 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 GeneraJ Care &

Cleaning section and Before You Calt 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

if the 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).

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).

Model C (see Fig. 1):

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

- A rfual 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 6 inch radiant elements at the right and left rear positions;

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

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

ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food wiii 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. May 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 wiii 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.

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for properaircirculation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware inthe oven for even heat

to reach around the food.

positionwhen broiling.

ABways pull oven rack out to the "stop" position be-

fore turning or removing food.

Broiting Tips (some modets) 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 your pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foit. The exposed grease could ignite.

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

if the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher, DO NOT put water or flour on the fire, Flour may be explosive,

To Broit Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side, Season and serve, Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food,

Determining Broiling Times Broiling times var},; 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 doneness preferred, The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second, Frozen meats also require

additional time,

Grid

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use any scrub pad

other than a Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge,

Ptastic or foods with a high sugar content: These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface, Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if

not removed immediately, After turning the surface elements OFR use a razor blade ....

scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illus° trated), Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils,

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (Continued)

Do not use the following on the ceramic gJass cooktop: , Do not use abrasive cJeanere and scouring pads, such as metal and some

nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

, Do not use harsh cJeanere, such as cHorine bleach, ammonia or oven

cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

, Do not use dirty sponges, clothe or paper towels, as they can leave soil or tint

on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

SpeciaJ Caution for Aluminum Foit and Atuminum Cooking Utensils o Atuminum foit

CJeaning the Regular Oven (non seff-cNean oven, some mode_s)

Make sure the oven is cool and that all control knobs are et OFF position, Cleaning the

oven is a lot easier when the door is removed,

1, Remove the oven door; see under To Remove and Replace the Oven Door in this Owner's

Guide,

2, Empty the oven including the racks, 3, You can wash your broiler pan, grid and racks in the kitchen sink, 4, Clean oven lining thoroughly with soap and a wet cloth and wipe with a dry cloth,

To remove burned-on fat on oven walls, moisten soiled parts with household ammonia, using a wet cloth, Follow suggested manufacturer's cleaning method, (Do not remove the oven door when using ammonia,)

Complete cleaning with a damp cloth and use a fine steel wool scouring agent if necessary,

The lower element can be moved up for cleaning purposes,

5, Replace racks in the oven, Reinstall oven door,

Oven Cteaning (Continued)

C_eaning the Seff-C_ean Oven (some mode_s) Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

- AUUowthe oven to coo] before cUeaning,

- Wear rubber gbves when cbaning any exterior parts of the oven manually. During the serf-dean cycb, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT have

small children unattended near the appliance.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any

range, Move birds to another well ventilated room,

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push CANCEL

pad, Wait until the oven is cook DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self-cleaning oven, DO NOT

clean the oven door gasket, The gasket on the oven door is essential 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-cleaning 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,

Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning

1. Remove all excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-

cleaning cycle. Toclean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT

allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut,

Do Hand

Frame

Do Hand

Clean Door Clean Seal

fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

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

with soap and water.

3. Remove all utensils and any foil. These items do not withstand high clean- ing temperatures

4. Oven racks may be left in the 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 has cooled, 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.

What to Expect During CJeaning While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of

metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent, located on the top of the control panel.

if heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual, This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm, if available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle,

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

Setting the Controts for Self-Clean Cycb For the setting of the clean cycle, refer to Timer or Electronic Oven Control Guide.
