IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating

unit. Always turn the knob to the LITE position when

igniting the burner. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the ﬂ ame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

•

Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped

with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having ﬂ at bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of surface heating to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface will also improve efﬁ ciency .

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners— T o reduce the risk of burns, ignition of ﬂ ammable 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 burner.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat Settings—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 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 ﬁ re or a short circuit.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a burner 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 or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.

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 qualiﬁ ed technician immediately

• 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.

• 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 of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. Each oven has its own vent located on the top, near each side and towards the back of the cooktop. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heatsensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

WARNING

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 ﬂ ow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a ﬁ re hazard.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while appliance is cool. 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 element or interior of the oven.

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pan and its 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR OVEN

• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch ﬁ re. Exhaust fan

ventilation hoods and grease ﬁ lters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch ﬁ re. When you are ﬂ aming food under the hood, turn the fan ON. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 or foods from the appliance.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial 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.

CAUTION

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any wall oven. 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SURFACE COOKING

Use Proper Cookware

Cookware should have ﬂ at bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for ﬂ atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure 2). Be sure to follow the recommendations for using cookware as shown in Figure 1.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will inﬂ uence the setting needed for best cooking results.

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.

CORRECT

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight ﬁ tting lids.

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

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

• Made of material that conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

INCORRECT

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

• Pan overhangs burner grate by more than 2.5 cm (1”).

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Flame extends beyond pan.

Figure 1

Using a wok

Woks with ﬂ at bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are available in most cookshop or hardware stores (Figure 3). Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the burner circumference) may also be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely when it is ﬁ lled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).

Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact with the grates.

CAUTION

DO NOT use two burner units to heat one large pan such as a roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils to boil dry (Figure 4). The bottom surface of the pan in either of these situations could cause discoloring or crazing of the appliance cooking surface, and damage to the grates and burner units.

Figure 3 Figure 4

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure

cookers may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.

Figure 2

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner circumference. Because this ring traps heat, the surface unit and cooktop surface could be damaged (Figure 5).

Figure 5

Canning Tips & Information

CAUTION

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 cool 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 continuously for the required time.

SURFACE COOKING

1. 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.

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

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.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Placement of Burner Bases and Caps

Your Cooktop is equipped with three different sizes of burners: Power Burner, Standard Burner and Simmer Burner. Place the burner base over each gas opening, matching the burner base size with the gas opening size. Place the burner cap on each burner base, again matching the cap size to the burner base size. The cap for each burner has an inner locating ring which locates the burner cap in the center of the burner.

Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level. Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If the

burner does not light, contact a Service Center. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.

Burner Cap

Placement of Burner Grates

Place grate over burner pans. Make sure that the groove under grate ﬁ ts over the raised lip of the burner pan. The rounded corners of the grates should be placed toward the front of the cooktop for the front burners and the rear of the cooktop for the back burners.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Operating the Gas Surface Controls:

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (See Figure 1).

3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning ON will ignite.

4. Visually check that the burner has a ﬂ ame.

5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired ﬂ ame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings to adjust the ﬂ ame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position.)

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights push in and turn knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper ﬂ ame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will inﬂ uence the setting needed for cooking.

*Flame Size Type of Cooking

High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a

boil; pan broiling.

Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces,

gravies; steaming.

Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

*These settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. The color of the ﬂ ame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good ﬂ ame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of ﬂ ame should be steady and sharp. Clean burner if ﬂ ame is yellow-orange.

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and ﬂ ame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow ﬂ ames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Figure 1

CAUTION

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

Never extend the ﬂ ame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher ﬂ ame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned by the ﬂ ame (Figure 2).

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

SELF-CLEANING

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a ﬁ ne powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

IMPORTANT

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts

of the oven manually.

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.

• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures and will melt.

• Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are not removed, they will lose their special coating properties and will no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity effortlessly.

• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven

cavity before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or ﬁ re when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie ﬁ lling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufﬁ ciently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

NOTE

See additional cleaning information for the oven door in the General Care & Cleaning section.

What to Expect during Cleaning

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.

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may ﬂ ame 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.

CAUTION

To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave 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.

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

SETTING QUICK CLEAN OR SELF-CLEAN CYCLE TIME LENGTH

The Quick Clean and Self Clean pads control the SelfCleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So a 3 hour selfclean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

*It is recommend to use a 2 hour Quick clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour Self clean cycle for average or heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).

To set the controls for a Quick Clean or a Self Clean cycle or a Delay Start Quick Clean or a Delay Start Self Clean cycle

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day and the oven door is closed.

5. Press the Up Arrow pad once. As soon the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close automatically and the door locked indicator light will

ﬂ ash. DO NOT open the oven door while the light is ﬂ ashing (It takes about 15 seconds for the oven door

to lock).

6. “CLn” will appear in the display during the Self Clean cycle and the Door Locked light will glow until the Self Clean cycle is completed or cancelled and the oven temperature has cooled.

When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed

1. The time of day or “End” will appear in the display window and “CLEAN” and “DOOR LOCK” light will continue to glow.

2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR, and the “DOOR LOCK” light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.

3. If “End” is in the display and clean indicator light remains ON, press the CANCEL pad. The time of day will appear in the display.

Stopping or Interrupting a Quick Clean or Self Clean Cycle

If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self clean cycle:

1. Press CANCEL.

2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and the “DOOR LOCK” light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.

3. Restart the Self Clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.

ADJUSTING OVEN TEMPERATURE

Your oven thermostat has been precisely set at the factory. This setting may be differ from your previous oven, however, so your recipe times may not give you the results you expect. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or cool for your recipe times, you can adjust the thermostat so that the oven cooks hotter or cooler then the temperature displayed.

NOTE

The oven temperature adjustments made with this feature will not change the Self-Clean cycle temperature.

To adjust the oven temperature:

1. Press and hold the BAKE pad for 8 seconds. The display now indicates the amount of degrees offset between the original factory temperature setting and the current temperature setting. If the oven controls has the factory calibration, the display will read “0°”.

2. The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F or 19°C, in 1°F or 1°C steps by pushing and holding the Up or Down arrow pad. Adjust until he desired amount of degrees offset appears in the display. When lowering the oven temperature, a minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of degrees.

3. When you have made the desired adjustment, wait 5 seconds and the display will go back to the time of day.

NOTE

When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with damp cloth or paper towel.

CARE & CLEANING

Ceramic glass cooktop cleaning & maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to

maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the ﬁ rst time, apply some of cooktop cleaning creme to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective ﬁ nish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do

not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work

surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, or they may crack it.

IMPORTANT

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have been speciﬁ cally designed for ceramic glass cooktop.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils, then apply a few drops of cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

Plastic 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 OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Cleaning recommendations for the ceramic glass cooktop

CAUTION

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

WARNING

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.

The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non- abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non- abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads,

such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difﬁ cult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine

bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper

towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

• Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will

damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils

Since the melting point of

aluminum is much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil dry may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking it.
