door may cause the appliance to tip, resulting in serious burns or

other injury. An open drawer, when hot, may cause burns.

Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if

equipped) for storage.

Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable materials should

not be stored in an oven, near surface units or in the drawer

(if equipped). This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such

as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable

liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near

the appliance. Flammable materials may explode and result in

fire or property damage.

__! Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above the appliance. Children climbing on the range to

reach items could be seriously injured.

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE

UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR 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 colon 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 garments

should never be worn while using the appliance. 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.

fire or spoil.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

__! 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 temperature above 0°C/32°F for

at least 3 hours before connecting it to the power supply.

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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

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 ap-

plied to a hot surface.

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 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 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 rec-

ommendations for rangetop use.

Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers. If an ele-

ment isaccidentally 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 ele-

ments- Surface heating elements should never be immersed in

water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal opera-

tion.

Do Not Place Hot Cookware on cold cooktop glass. Thiscould

cause glass to break.

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 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/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).

• 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.

• Make 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

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 instructions for cleaning.

Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket isessential

for a good seal. 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 oven.

• Cleaners/aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's recom-

mended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from

cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.

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.

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

oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

fi_l_! The health of birds is sensitive

some extremely

to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any range.

Move birds to another well ventilated room.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known

to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure

to such substances.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils

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.

*GOOD

t t

• Flat bottom and straight 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 material that conducts heat

well.

• Easyto clean.

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles

and pressure cookers may be used but must

conform to the above recommended cook-

ware requirements.

POOR

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

• Pan overhangs unit by more than 2.5

cm (1").

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is smaller than element.

Specialty Pans & Trivets

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for

use on your cooktop are available in

most cookshop or hardware stores.

Round-bottomed woks (with asupport

ring that does not extend beyond the

heating element) may also be used.

The metal ring was designed to

support the wok safelywhen it isfilled

with large amounts of liquids (soup

making) or fat (frying).

DO NOT use two

elements (if the cooktop is not

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/

or damage to the drip pans (if

equipped).

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 isequipped with

a metal ring that extends beyond the

surface element. Because this ring traps

heat, the surface element and cooktop

surface could be damaged.

_J

For glass smoothtop models, only flat

bottomed woks (without support rings)

may be used.

Canning Tips &

Information

Canning can generate

large amounts of steam. Use extreme

caution to prevent burns. Always raise

the lid to vent steam away from you.

1. Usetested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local

Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glassjars for

the latest canning information.

2. Useflat-bottomed canners only. Heat isspread 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 as low as possible 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 leave water 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.

Safecanning 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.

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.

element off before removing the pan.

Always turn the

The suggested settings found in the chart beside are based on cooking in medium-weight 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 Keep food cooking, poach, stew.

(2-4)

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

Ceramic Glass

Cooktop (some models)

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 areassurrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.

The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop maycrack it.

Panswith rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking

utensils) is not recommended asdifficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire hazard. Neveruse the

griddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic glass cooktop.

NOTE: Dueto the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glasssurface 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)

Types of heating units used

Regular Radiant Elements (some models)

The ceramic glass design shows the location of the heating surfaces.

Control knobs are usedto set the heat power levels; knobs need first to be pressed in when at OFF

position, 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. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. The hot surface and surface

indicator lights will glow.

Note: A builtqn protector will automatically turn off the radiant and expandable radiant elements if the ceramic-glass tempera-

ture exceeds the set limit.

Types of heating units used (continued)

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, there-

fore increasing the cooktop flexibility. Heat power levels are adjusted by a special control knob that

hasa dual set of graduations; for small utensils use the small graduations; the inner surface only will

be heating. Forlarger utensils usethe larger graduations; the whole surface will be heating. The hot

surface and surface indicator lights will glow when the heating unit isturned ON.

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

off with the outer element.

To Operate the Expandable Element

Setthe rocker switch to the desired coil size.• indicates inner coil only. ® indicates 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.

Eachelement 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 istoo 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.

Expandable

Control Switch

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 isturned on. A quick glance at the

lights after cooking is an easycheck to be sure all surface controls are turned off.

• The hot surface indicator lights, located under the glass cooktop, will come on asthe surface cooking area heats up and will

continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The lights may remain on even though the

controls are turned to OFF.

Setting Warm Zone Control (some models)

To Operate the warm zone

Your appliance is equipped with a warm zone. The purpose of the warm zone isto keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.

Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.

Usethe 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 bestresults,when warming

pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic warp to cover food.

Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.

Useonly dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop useon the warm zone.

Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. Always usepotholders or oven mitts

when removing food from the warm zone ascookware and plates will not be hot.

Warm Zone

Indicator Lights

The Surface indicator light is located above or below the warm zone control. It turns on

when the control isset, and stayson until the control isturned off. The hot surface indicator

light, located under the glasscooktop, will come on when the control isset and will continue

to glow until the glasscooktop has cooled down to moderate level.
