IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COIL COOKTOP
Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls are in place - absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
Carefully check the reflector pans, drip bowls, and coils for packaging material. Remove all packaging material before us­ing the cooktop.
Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls. Improper use of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Do not immerse or soak removable heat­ing elements—Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating ele­ments clean themselves during normal operation.
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.
Do not allow grease to accumulate around surface burners and drip bowls.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials or devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any other part of the appli­ance. Only use aluminum as recommended for baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some mod­els). 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.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or ignite.
Placement of oven racks - Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot burner or element in oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to re­position. Remove all cookware and utensils before moving the rack.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see Figure 1). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating element (see Figure 2).
Figure 1: Testing cookware
Cookware Material 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 and pit­ting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discol­ors easily (see Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor, but will re­tain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating charac­teristics will vary depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
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 o. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the o cycle.
For ecient cooking, turn the element o several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings are all factors that will aect 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.
CAUTION
Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned o. The element surface may still be hot, and burns may occur if the element or surrounding area is touched before it has cooled to a safe temperature.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrapping on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Element On Indicator Lights
The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned o.
Figure 3: On indicator light
NOTE
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and o, even at the HI setting.
Be sure to read detailed instructions for coil cooktop cleaning in the “Care and Cleaning” section and “Before You Call” checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the burner grates.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.
CAUTION
Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to vent steam away from you. 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 continuously for the required time.

Single radiant surface elements
The cooktop has four single coil surface elements.
Figure 4: Surface control knobs
To operate an element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction (Figure 5) to the desired setting (refer to the “Suggested radiant surface element settings” in Table 1).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed (see Figure 1).
A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
Suggested radiant surface element settings
The suggested settings found in Table 1 below are based on cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans
.

BEFORE USING OVEN
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent.. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block the oven vent. Never close o the openings with aluminum foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
The Cooling Fan
The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled through the vents between the oven door and the control panel as shown in Figure 5.
Flat Oven Rack
Figure 6: Flat and oset oven racks
This oven comes with a flat oven rack and an oset oven rack that may be used for most
cooking needs.
Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Flat or Oset Oven Racks
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.
Figure 5: Cooling fan location
WARNING
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners to line the oven bot­tom, walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause perma­nent damage to the oven interior. Improper instal­lation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. During self clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven in­terior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.
Figure 7: Removing, replacing, and arranging racks
Air Circulation in the Oven
The rack has a special shape in the rear which helps with the heat circulation.
Do not push the baking tray all the way to the back wall of the cavity. This prevents the heat from circulating around the tray. The food may be burnt, especially in the rear part of the tray.
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2 inches (5 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation. Be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides, or back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware for even heat to reach the food.

Figure 12: Baking with a single rack
IMPORTANT
For this appliance, single rack radiant bake is the recommended bake function for best results for batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and breads.
• For best results when baking with one oven rack, place racks in positions 2 or 3 (Figure 11).
• When baking using one oven racks, position bakeware as shown in Figure 12. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.control knob to OFF position.
NOTE
The single rack baking image is correct, but it’s also for presentation purposes. You may also bake with the left pan in the front and the right pan in the back. Either position for either pan bakes correctly.
Figure 13: Baking with multiple racks
IMPORTANT
When baking using two oven racks, the pans on each rack must be swapped half way through the cook time for best results.
• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two oven racks, place racks in positions 1 and 3 (Figure 11) and place pans as shown in Figure 13.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
General Baking Tips:
• Preheat the oven 15 minutes before baking items like cookies, biscuits, cakes, and breads.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muns.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven.
• Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May require reducing oven temperature.

CARE AND CLEANING
Coil elements and drip bowls
Your cooking product includes a new generation of electric coil element. This electric coil element design follows/supports a change made to the UL Standard for Household Electric Ranges related to cooktop surface temperature detection. If ordering replacement electric coil elements, you must refer to the parts catalog to obtain the correct part number for the electric coil element that was designed to function with the specific model that was purchased.
Figure 18: Coil element
CAUTION
Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence of these bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
Never immerse a surface element in water.
Be sure the range is cool before removing surface elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend terminal ends when replacing surface elements after cleaning.
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire..
Surface elements may be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip pans easier. The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn o. Food spilled on a cool element may be cleaned with a damp cloth—any remaining soil will burn o the next time the element is used.
To remove the surface elements and drip bowls:
1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end. Lift the surface element and drip bowl together just enough to clear the cooktop.
2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull the terminal end out from terminal plug. Do not remove the hold-down clip (if equipped) from the drip bowl.

CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning drip bowls
Wash in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry while still warm. Hard to remove, burned-on soil can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20 minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia and water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
To replace drip bowls and surface elements:
1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the opening in the drip bowl.
2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. If your drip bowl is equipped with a hold-down clip, align the element support opposite the terminal end with the slot in the hold-down clip, and snap into place.
3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end with the terminal plug as shown.
4. Hold the surface element and drip bowl together as level as possible and firmly push the terminal end into the terminal plug. Make sure element terminal is seated properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface element is level to reduce the hazard of cookware sliding o the element.
Replacing the Oven Light
CAUTION
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool before replacing the oven light.
Replacing the oven interior light bulb:
The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and covered with a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use (Figure 23). Only use lamps with the same specifications.
1. Put a cloth on the bottom of the interior of the appliance. It prevents damage to the lamp glass cover and the cavity.
2. Turn electrical power o at the main source or unplug the appliance.
3. Turn the lamp glass cover counterclockwise to remove it.
4. Clean the glass cover.
