IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS(con,,o°e )

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

• Use ProperPan Size--This appliance isequipped 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 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. 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 acover 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. Burnswill occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be clone to the cooktop.

FOR COOKTOPS WITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY

• 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 could cause glass to break.

• Avoidscratching 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 isvented at the rear of the cooktop. 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/VVarmer 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).

• Do not use the broilerpan without its insert. The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fatto drain and be kept away from the high

heat of the broiler.

• Donotcoverthebroilerorwarmerdrawer(ifequipped)grid with aluminum foil, Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch ahotlight bulb with a damp cloth, Doin gso could

cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing light bulb.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Surface Heating elements-- Surface heating elements should never be

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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils

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

*GOOD

• Flat bottom and straight

Pans should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface

element. Check for flatness by rotating a

ruler across the bottom. There should be no gap between the pan and ruler.

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended

purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Some utensils were not made to be used in

the oven or on the cooktop.

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots,

griddles and pressure cookers may be

used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.

sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well

balanced.

• Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and

the size of the surface element.

• Made of a material that conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Always match pot diameter to element diameter.

POOR

• Curved and warped pan

bottoms.

• Pan overhangs unit by more than one-half inch or 12mm.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

-7

• Pan is smaller or larger than element.

General 6 information

Setting Surface Controls NOTE: All knobs shown in this owner's Guide are

typical only.

1. Place the pan on the surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface element control knob to desired setting.

3. The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. Always turn the element off before removing the pan.

The suggested settings found in the chart beside are based on cooking in

medium thickness aluminum pans

with lids. Settings may vary when

using other types of pans.

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed

for best cooking results.

_ Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the

element.

Setting Type of cooking

MAX (HI) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan

broiling

MEDIUM (5) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and

gravies, steam vegetables.

MEDIUM - LOW (2-4) Keep food cooking, poach, stew.

MIN (1-SIM) Keep warm, melt, simmer.

Ceramic Glass

The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the ceramic glass surface. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface heating unit below. Most importantly, make surethe diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the surface unit. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. The type and size of the cookware, number

of surface units in use and the settings of the surface units are factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas surrounding the units. The areas surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.

The cooktop should not be used asa 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 utensils) 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 ceramic glass cooktop.

NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated bythe 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).

_.O01_ l_Op (some models)

TYPES OF HEATING UNITS USED

Regular Radiant Heating Units (some models)

The ceramic glass design shows the location of the heating surfaces. Control knobs are used to setthe heat power levels;knobs need first to be pressed in when at OFFposition, then

turned to the desired heat settings. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the utensil istoo

small for the unit. The control knob does not haveto be set exactly on a particular mark. Usethe marks as aguide and adjust the control knob as needed. The hot surface and surface indicator lights will glow.

Note: A built-in protector will automatically turn off the radiant and expandable radiant elements if the ceramic- glass temperature exceeds the set limit.

Expandable Radiant Heating Units (some models)

This heating unit combines the characteristics of a small and a large regular radiant heating unit. Its principal advantage is to allow small and large utensils to be used on the same heating unit, therefore increasing the cooktop flexibility. Heat power levels are adjusted by a special control knob that has a dual set of graduations; for small utensils use the small graduations; the inner surface only will be heating. For larger utensils use the larger graduations; the whole surface will be heating. The hot surface and surface indicator lights will

glow when the heating unit is turned ON.

Note: During any heat setting of the outer radiant element, the inner radiant element cycles on and off with the outer element.

General 7 information

Expandable Radiant Heating Units (somemodels) (continued)

To Operate the Expandable Element

Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. • Indicates inner coil only._lndicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from either coil setting at any time during the cooking process. Push in and turn the

surface element control knob in either direction to the desired setting.

Each element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting, then turn to a lower setting to finish. A glowing red element extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the element. The control knob does not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

Halogen Heating Units (some models)

The halogen element is similar to the radiant element with the addition of a halogen lamp to the heating coil. The lamp immediately heats up and glows bright red when the element is turned on. Cook time is improved.

lO-Step Halogen Element (some models)

The control for this type of element can be set in 10 different heating positions. Each position causes the element to operate continuously at a fixed power output "MIN" is the lowest setting, "MAX" is the highest.

Infinite Step Halogen Element (some models)

The control for this type of element can be set anywhere between positions "MIN" and "MAX".

Indicator Lights

There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your range--surface indicator lights and hot surface indicator lights.

• The surface indicator lights, located on the control panel, glow when any surface unit is turned on. A quick glance at the lights after cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.

• The hotsurface indicatorlights, located under the glass cooktop, will come on as the surface cooking area heats up and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled clown to a moderate level. The lights may remain on even though the controls are turned to

OFF.

Setting Warm Zone Control (somemodels)

Operate the warm zone

Your appliance is equipped with a warm zone. The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.

Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner ]

All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not useplastic warp to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the

surface and be very difficult to clean.

Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warm zone.

_ Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or oven mittswhen removing food from the warm zone ascookware and plates will not be hot.
