IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
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 heating element.
The use of undersized utensils willexpose a portion ofthe heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensilto element will alsoimprove efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should BeTurned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the risk ofburns, 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
units.
Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements i Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.
Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.
OCCURRENCE
Range is not level.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible for service.
Surface element too hot or not hot enough.
POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION
Poor installation, Place oven rack in center of oven, Place a level on the oven rack, Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the oven rack is level,
Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range, if floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation, Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel, Be sure cabinets are square
and have sufficient room for range clearance, Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly, Contact builder or installer to make
appliance accessible. Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet. Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface element to
be used.
Surface element does not heat.
Lightweight orwarped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight
cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy and medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate" in this Before You Call Checklist.
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface element to be used.
Entire appliance does not operate.
Element not making contact in block. Follow instructions under "Surface Elements and Drip Bowls" in the Care & Cleaning section.
Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet.
The time of day must first be set inorder to operate the oven. Service wiring is not complete. Contact your authorized Servicer for assistance.
Oven smokes excessively during broiling.
Drip bowls are pitting or rusting.
Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Setting Surface & Oven Controls, Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position. Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance between
the meat and the element. Preheat broil element for searing. Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosion.
Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spillover Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as
much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.
Drip bowls turning color or distorted. Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop
surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. DO NOT
use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the size of the element. Replacement bowls may be purchased from your authorized Servicer.
Poor baking results. Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center
food inthe oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's
recommended temperature or baking time.
