IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit. Place pan of food on the element before turning
it on, and turn the element off before removing the

pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with

one or more surface burners 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 surface heating unit to direct contact and

may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface will also improve efficiency.

= Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward

and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface

Units--To reducethe riskofburns, ignitionof

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 UnattendedIBoilovers

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 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.

Do not attempt to operate the appliance during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off

the unit. If the unit is not turned off and the power

resumes, the appliance will not operate and an error
message will be displayed. Once the power resumes,

reset the clock and the oven function.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Onlycertaintypesofglass,

glass/ceramic,ceramic,earthenware,orotherglazed

utensilsaresuitableforcooktopservicewithoutbreaking

due tothesudden changeintemperature.Checkthe

manufacturer'srecommendationsforcooktopuse.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner 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 COOKTOPS WITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Surface
HeatingElements. Surface heating elements should

never be immerse in water. Heating elements clean

themselves during normal operation.

• 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.

FOR GLASS COOKTOP 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 carefu! 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 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door--Stand to the

side of the appliance when opening the door/drawer of
a hot appliance. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven/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.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in

the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks

air flow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap

heat, causing a fire hazard.

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. 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 grid or oven bottom

with aluminum foil, Exposed fat and grease could

ignite.

• Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp

cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.

Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to the

appliance before removing and replacing the bulb.

IIvIPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR OVEN

• Clean the appliance 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 instructionsfor 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.

FOR SELF-CLEANING OVEN

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of

the appliance listed in this Owner's Guide. Before

using the self-cleaning cycle of the appliance, remove

all utensils stored in the appliance.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door

gasket is essential for a good sea!. 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 appliance.

• 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 wall

oven. Hove birds to another well ventilated room.

• Placement of Oven Racks, Always place oven racks
in desired location while appliance iscool. Remove all
utensils from the rack before removing rack. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution.
Use pot holders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let pot holders contact the hot oven

Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface heating element. Check

for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the

cookware (See Figure 1).

\

Cookware Haterial types

The cookware material determines how evenly and
quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to
the pan bottom. The most popular materials available

are:

ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types
of food will 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,

Nay leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum

above).

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using
cookware as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2

STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven
cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists

staining.

CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain

heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

PORCELAIN=ENAMEL on HETAL - 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.

The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.

Specialty Pans & Trivets

Wokswith fiat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop
are available in most cookshop or hardware stores.
Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does
not extend beyond the heating element) may also be
used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok
safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup
making) or fat (frying).

DO NOT use two elements (if the cooktop isnot 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).

Canning Tips & :Information

1. Use tested recipes and follow instructionscarefu!ly.
Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural

Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for

the latest canning information.

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

3. Center canner on the burner grate.

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.

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 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.

Forglass smoothtop models,
only fiat bottomed woks

(without support rings) may

be used.

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

Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:

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

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

3. Alternate surface units between each batch to
allow the units and surrounding surfaces to coo!

down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner
unit 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 cont!nuous!y for the required time- .........
